034 A bowl of millet porridge

Who's going to keep you three money-losers!

Since they were brought over by the Li family, they naturally had some transactions with the Li family, and they had a special purpose, but they were not here to contribute themselves to support the three Sheng Qingqing sisters and brothers. What kind of dreams is this stinky girl having!?

The woman roared in her heart, but she did not dare to show it on her face, and only waited for Ai Ai's answer.

Sheng Qingqing was satisfied, "Then don't bother my aunt to cook porridge, I'll go see Zhizhi and Siming, these two children are naughty, if one is not optimistic, they will be mischievous." ”

The woman twitched the corners of her mouth.

Sheng Qingqing hooked the corners of her lips and left the kitchen.

Although the Sheng family has a courtyard, it is not large, with a total of three independent rooms. One of the small ones has been used as a kitchen, and the largest one is the bedroom of Sheng Qingqing's sister and brother, so there is only one room that the couple can live in.

Sheng Qingqing walked out of the kitchen door and walked directly to the opposite room, and as soon as she walked to the door, she saw the two "naughty" children in her mouth, and they were really naughty at this time.

"You're our uncle, aren't you?"

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming were each sitting on a stool with a rabbit in their arms, looking up and down at the simple-looking man in front of them.

The man looked to be in his early forties, and his hands and feet were stout, so he was used to farm work. His facial features are a little rough, and his appearance is ordinary, no different from those middle-aged farmers in Shengjia Village.

But this person was brought by the Li family, which was enough for Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming to be vigilant.

Especially Sheng Zhizhi, who had been looking this man up and down with hostile eyes, only to see him at a loss and fidgeting.

"I ...... I am yes. The man rubbed his hands.

When Sheng Qingqing came in, she saw this scene.

"What are you doing?"

"Sister!" Sheng Zhizhi immediately got up from the stool with the rabbit in his arms and ran over here.

Although Sheng Siming's movements were a little slower, he also stood up, he was more organized than Sheng Zhizhi, and he didn't forget to explain at this time: "We are asking my uncle about something. I wonder why he and his aunt came suddenly. ”

I didn't pay attention to it for more than ten years, but I suddenly came, and if there was no cat in it, fools wouldn't believe it.

Sheng Qingqing hooked the corners of her lips and showed a sarcastic smile, "It's a coincidence, I also want to know, just listen to my uncle." ”

With that, she stepped into the room.

The room was also very dilapidated, except for a small wooden bed, there were only three or two small benches, and there was not even a table. Sheng Qingqing didn't mind, so she chose a wooden bench casually, and then sat in front of this man.

The man seemed to be much more honest than the woman, and he hadn't had much contact with the Li family before, so maybe it could be used as a breakthrough......

"Uncle, why did you and our aunt suddenly come to us, but what happened to your hometown?" Sheng Qingqing said with some doubts on her face, and said, "If something happens, you might as well talk to me, maybe you can help." ”

The man had a look of shame on his face. Sheng Qingqing treated them so coldly before, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but now it seems that this kid is obviously cold-faced and warm-hearted......

Thinking about it like this, the man didn't think much about it, so he said: "Hey, if it weren't for the last resort, I would be embarrassed to come to you children." It's really a big thing in my hometown......"

However, it is said that in a mountainous area several days away from Shengjia Village, there is a small town called "Izumo Town". This town is very prosperous because there is a city nearby, and the townspeople are also living and working in peace and contentment, but the geographical location is not very good, close to the big river. There are many water sources, and in ancient times, it was easy to form floods.

This natural and man-made disaster is unavoidable, but unfortunately this town is so unlucky. Last year, it rained heavily for several months, causing the large river near the town of Izumo to immediately overflow.

This flood was a deadly flood, and the people of Izumo had no choice but to leave their homes. If this is still acceptable, the plague brought by the flood is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"I can't help it, and when the nearby towns hear that we are from Izumo Town, they don't want us to work. And my family's Xiaobao is also ...... because of the plague" As he spoke, this man was tearful.

But Sheng Qingqing didn't have the mood to pity him.

Hearing the word plague, Sheng Qingqing's first reaction was to keep the two younger siblings away from this man.

In such a backward era, the "plague" is basically equivalent to a terminal illness, and if you suffer from it, you can only wait for death. Other people died of the "plague", Sheng Qingqing naturally felt pity, but this did not mean that she was willing to let her two children also be infected.

The man obviously saw a lot of similar evasions, and when he saw Sheng Qingqing's actions at this time, he was not angry, but only laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Don't worry, baby, there is nothing wrong with us." If you are infected with the plague, you will not live for more than a few months. ”

Sheng Qingqing relaxed a little, but she still didn't want Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming to get too close to the man, and she even began to regret why she asked the woman to make dinner just now.

As a modern person, she certainly knows more about medicine than they do. Although the couple did not die from the plague, it does not mean that they did not carry the pathogen on them.

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming are still children, and their bodies are relatively weak, so they are easily infected with germs.

'I still managed to get the spring water for the two children to drink at night...... Sheng Qingqing thought like this, and there was no reaction on her face, she only said: "So that's the case." After talking about it for so long, I still don't know the names of my uncle and aunt? ”

The man was stunned for a moment.

Sheng Qingqing's words are actually a bit out of line, and no junior can directly listen to the names of the elders. Sheng Qingqing also understood in her heart, but that's how she asked.

Because the situation is special now.

The man obviously reacted after a while, and looked a little gloomy.

But there was no way, people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads.

"My name is Kong Gaoming, and your aunt's name is Liu Qiucui."

Sheng Qingqing and her younger siblings glanced at each other.

Their mother's name is "Liu Xiamian", which is compatible with "Liu Qiucui".

Sheng Qingqing thought for a while, and then asked, "Uncle, I saw that you are also an honest person, so I will have a heart with you." You and your aunt came all the way to take care of us, do you really want to take care of us? Why did you have a friendship with that Li family? ”

The old woman of the Li family, the people who look at the Sheng family are 110,000 comfortable, especially when Liu Xiamian is still alive, she is most disgusted by her. If it was said that she took the initiative to contact Liu Xiamian's mother's family, it was absolutely impossible, there must be something greasy in this.

This question seemed to be asked in Kong Gaoming's heart, and he was already a little calm, but at this time he began to fidget again.

"I ...... We ......"

After a long time of getting a reply, Sheng Qingqing couldn't help frowning and asked, "Did the Li family give you any benefits?" ”

After saying so much, she can see that this Kong Gaoming is really not a person with a heart. If he was willing to tell the conspiracy, she didn't intend to embarrass the honest man.

Kong Gaoming's face showed a little embarrassment, and his dark skin seemed to be a little red. He looked at the people in front of him, all of them were half-grown children, and the youngest one was only six years old.

Deceive such a little child......

Kong Gaoming gritted his teeth, "I'm ...... I didn't know what the Li family had to do with you, but I and your aunt were looking for a job that day, and I didn't expect to meet her. She told us about you and wanted us to ......"

"It's time to eat!"

Seeing that he was about to get to the point, he suddenly interrupted his words. As soon as Kong Gaoming heard the voice, he seemed to wake up instantly, and immediately closed his mouth.

In a blink of an eye, I saw Liu Qiucui walking briskly towards this side. Through the open door, Sheng Qingqing could still see the expression on her face, not much arrogance, but it was completely different from the submissive appearance in front of the old village chief before, it was clearly two people.

And the kitchen is not far from this house, as long as you shout loudly, the people in the house can hear clearly, but this Liu Qiucui wants to come over in person, and I think it is extremely uneasy to let Sheng Qingqing's sister and brother be alone with Kong Gaoming.

But because of this, it can be seen that Liu Qiucui is indeed a bit secret in her heart.

Sheng Qingqing pulled the corners of her mouth, stood up quietly, and said, "We were curious about what the situation was like in my mother's hometown, so we chatted with my uncle a few more words, what did my aunt do for dinner?" ”

So something, what else can be done?!

Liu Qiucui rolled her eyes angrily in her heart, and still looked like she was smiling, "Auntie is not good at craftsmanship, so I made a little porridge, you guys live to drink some, and tomorrow Aunt will find out if there is anything delicious." ”

Sheng Qingqing pretended that she didn't hear what she meant, and pulled her two younger siblings up. He said with a faint expression: "It's okay, we used to drink porridge in the past, so we're used to it." ”

She didn't lie when she said this, before Sheng Qingqing crossed over, the three sisters and brothers of the Sheng family did live a life of drinking porridge and eating pickles. And it's already very good to have porridge to drink, but if you're unlucky, you don't even have to drink porridge water.

But Liu Qiucui, who has already determined that the three sisters and brothers of the Sheng family usually eat fragrant and drink spicy food, obviously does not believe it. She responded with a smile and said, "Then go quickly, my aunt's skills are not good, but this porridge is okay." ”

The group went to the kitchen.

It's no wonder that the Sheng family is really small, and apart from the two places to live, there is no other free place. If there was a choice for eating before, then after Kong Gaoming and his wife came, there was only one choice.

In the small kitchen, five people sat down at the shabby wooden table. Fortunately, there are enough chairs and benches, so that no one will have to eat standing up.

Liu Qiucui took a few bowls from the stove and put them in front of several people.

Sheng Qingqing looked down, good guy.

It's a bowl of white porridge that looks like there's nothing in it. Why can you see clearly that nothing is put away?
