"Mother, we're back."

At sunset, Yuan April returned home with his younger brothers and sisters, and just entered the courtyard door, Xiao Wuman shouted loudly.

Yuan Li heard the movement, struggled to get up from the bed, and walked out of the door, "Where are you going?" It's a day away, and I'm worried to death. ”

"Mother, you see this is a steamed bun. The third sister took us to beat pigweed in exchange for steamed buns. Holding the steamed bun in both hands, the sweat on his face could not hide the joy and satisfaction in his eyes.

Can pigweed also be exchanged for steamed buns?

Yuan Li's mind was full of confusion, "April, what's going on?" ”

Yuan April picked up the water scoop and poured a stomach of water, wiped the corners of his mouth before saying: "The Hu Yuanwai family in Shanghe Village raises a lot of pigs, cattle and sheep. I thought their family should need pigweed, and luckily I traded pigweed for a little food. ”

At this time in her last life, she had never even been out of Yuanhe Village, so naturally she didn't know Hu Yuanwai, let alone pigweed could be exchanged for money.

Later, when she walked out of Yuanhe Village, she opened her eyes, saw the world, and learned a skill.

However, in troubled times, within a few days of good days, the city was broken, and the people of the city were slaughtered, and she could not escape.

I thought that if I was dead, I would die, but I would have thought that when she opened her eyes again, she would return to the age of fourteen, when the life at home was the hardest.

In the last life, life couldn't go on, and my mother sold the little four okra for money, and only then did I survive until my father and brother returned from the army.

Later, when she had money, she asked someone to find Xiaosi. It's a pity that until she died, she couldn't find it.

In this life, she will definitely not let the little four okra be sold, let alone make the whole family hungry.

Dinner, a pot of wild vegetable soup with four steamed buns, is the first meal of the day for the whole family, and it is also the most sumptuous meal in recent days.

Xiao Wu looked at the steaming steamed buns, drooling, but didn't make a move. He was waiting for the third sister, waiting for his mother to eat after they had eaten.

April saw that his younger brothers and sisters didn't move, and his mother also sat timidly and didn't move, so he said, "It's not delicious when it's cold." Little four, little five, you hurry up and eat, and your mother also hurry up. ”

"April, you eat first." Yuan Li said weakly, "I'll just drink some soup." ”

"You are not in good health, you need to eat more staple food to take care of your body." In April, the only white-flour steamed bun is placed in the mother's bowl.

Yuan Li refused to let go, and made an excuse that he couldn't eat white flour steamed buns.

Xiao Si Xiao Wu is obviously drooling, but he also deduces that he doesn't like to eat white flour steamed buns.

"Do you dislike white-flour steamed buns so much? In this way, a steamed bun is divided into four parts, and no one is allowed to dislike it. ”

Yuan April made a final decision, so that everyone would not push each other.

The wild vegetable soup is a little bitter, and with the steamed buns, there is finally something in the stomach. The body was hot, and Yuan April felt that he had inexhaustible strength again.

She took a bite of the rough noodle steamed bun, "Mother, does the uncle's family owe our family a sum of money that hasn't been repaid?" ”

When the little four and five heard the money, they all pricked up their ears.

Yuan Li was obviously stunned for a moment, "Huh? Oh! The year before last, your father took charge and borrowed a sum of money from your uncle. How did you know this? ”

"Mother, don't care how I know. Now that the family can't open the pot, should I ask the uncle to repay the money? ”

Yuan Li suddenly fell silent, buried his head, and drank the bitter wild vegetable soup in his mind.

Yuan April's eyebrows moved slightly, "Mother, now that my father and eldest brother are not at home, this family still needs you to make an idea." ”

Yuan Li suddenly burst into tears, feeling guilty and helpless, "It's all my uselessness that dragged you down." I asked about that money half a year ago, and your uncle's family is also having a hard time, so let's find another way ourselves. ”

"The uncle's family has three strong laborers, no matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than our family? My uncle's family has eaten white rice this year, but our family is hungry, why doesn't my mother think about it for us? ”

Yuan April felt a resentment in his heart at this moment.

In the previous life, the family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and their mother was willing to sell the fourth child for money, and they refused to go to the uncle's house to ask for debts.

Be!

She knew that her mother was thin-skinned, face-saving, and cowardly by nature, and she didn't dare to speak if people were a little cruel to her.

However, the family is already poor to the point of selling their sons and daughters, and they still pull down their faces.

She has always had a thorn in her heart for her mother.

She has always wanted to ask her mother a question: In her mother's mind, are their children not as important as face?

Yuan Li was wiping his tears again, but he didn't speak. The attitude is already very clear, let her come to the door to ask for debts, it is absolutely impossible.

The four and five looked at the third sister April.

They are small and don't understand so many truths. I only knew that the uncle's family owed money to him, but his mother refused to come to the door to ask for debts.

If the family has money, they don't have to go hungry.

Now I can only count on the third sister.

April swallowed a breath of resentment and said calmly: "I'll go to my uncle's house in a while." ”

"April, what are you going to do?" Yuan Li was very flustered, so nervous that he didn't know how to put it.

Yuan April's eyes were firm, and he took a bite of the rough steamed bun, "Of course, it's a debt." Don't worry, you don't have to come forward in this matter. Even if it falls out, it's my responsibility. ”

"That's not what I meant." Yuan Li's explanation paled and unrelenting.

It doesn't matter what it means, Yuan April doesn't care.

"Uncle's family owes us three thousand dollars, right?" She asked.

"How do you know so well?"

"Since the number is correct, I'll go to my uncle's house now."

"Sister, I'll go too."

"I want to go too."

Primary 4 and Primary 5 asked to go together.

April didn't agree, "You two will stay at home." It's not a happy thing to ask for debt, in case it hurts you. ”

"Troublesome?" Yuan Li was shocked again, "Your grandmother is at your uncle's house, you can't make trouble." In case ......"

"No in case."

Yuan April tightened his belt, and walked towards the uncle's house in the east of the village with a gloomy face.

Uncle Yuan Chenggui's house is also an adobe house, but the roof is covered with tiles. The family conditions are significantly better than those in April.

The year before last, the government conscripted for military service, and the family had no money to pay for the service, so my father and eldest brother were drafted into the army. In the first half of the year, there were letters sent back, but after that, there was no news, and I don't know where the army had moved and what the war was like.

The uncle's family is also subject to military service. However, the uncle's family paid the service money, so he was exempted from military service.

There are three strong laborers in their family, and Brother Lobby has been an apprentice in the city for several years and has begun to get monthly money. The life of the family is getting more and more prosperous.

On the other hand, at home, the days are getting more and more desolate, and the whole family is about to starve to death.

Yuan April directly pushed open the courtyard door and entered the uncle's house.

Before I entered the house, I smelled the aroma of rice porridge and the smell of meat.

The life of the uncle's family is so good, eating white rice porridge and meat, but refusing to pay back.

"Grandparents, uncles and aunts, several brothers, sisters and sisters, I'm here to visit!"

April shouted loudly and walked straight into the hall, not at all.

"You're eating, and I see, it's a good meal. Sister Chrysanthemum, let me, I will also eat two bites. ”

April unceremoniously squeezed away her cousin Yuan Juhua, picked up a pair of chopsticks and put meat in the basin.

Yuan Chenggui's family was shocked.

Yuan Chenggui opened his mouth and stammered, this is April of the second brother's family, what's going on? Those who have dead skin and face will eat meat when they come up.

The eldest aunt Yuan Xu's eyes were sharp, and when she saw April stretching out her chopsticks, she said that it was too late and that it was fast, so she immediately stopped her with chopsticks. She is reluctant to eat this meat, how can she be cheaper than this girl in April.

Old Man Yuan frowned, he was very dissatisfied with his granddaughter April, and she had no rules.

Old Mrs. Yuan even blew her eyebrows and glared, and scolded on the spot, "Where did the dead thing come from, don't go down quickly." ”

April's cousins and brothers, before they could react, saw that April, under the attack of his mother Yuan Xu, successfully picked up a piece of meat and swallowed it in three or two times.

The speed is breathtaking.

Yes!

April couldn't be more satisfying.

She hadn't eaten meat in over a year. As soon as a piece of meat was eaten, the gluttonous worms in the stomach were hooked.

Meat! Meat! Meat!

She also wants to eat meat!

Bear with it for the time being, it's important to get down to business!

She rubbed her abdomen, "Thank you, auntie." Grandma, don't scold me, you call me a dead thing, aren't you cursing your son and my father? My father and eldest brother are now in the army, and I don't ask my grandmother to be kind to me, but not to be harsh. ”

"If you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, it's not a good thing." Mrs. Yuan scolded angrily as she took the plate of meat away.

Yes.

Mrs. Yuan hid the plate containing the meat, just to prevent April.

"April, you're not at home at this time, what are you doing here?" Uncle Yuan Xu asked with anger.

Eating well, but being disturbed by April. The more she looks at it, the more hateful she looks.

April said to her cousin Yuan Juhua: "Let me go, give me a seat." ”

Yuan Juhua doesn't like to see April on weekdays, and now she somehow finds that April has changed, and her momentum is tough. As soon as the other party spoke, she subconsciously got up and moved out of the way.

When she came back to her senses, April was already sitting in her place, clearly anti-guest.

Yuan April pushed away the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he smiled coldly, "The life of the uncle's family is so good, it's really enviable." Don't worry, uncle, I'm not here to fight the autumn breeze, nor to borrow food.

Today, I came to the door for one thing, and that was to ask for debts. Your family owes our family 3,000 dollars, and it is time to pay it back. ”
