011 A few children though are a burden
It is not uncommon to see things that change children and eat in famine years.
At that time, my sister was still in infancy, and if there was no one to take care of her, I was afraid that she would not be able to survive for a day.
Even though Li Huaice was sick, he resolutely took away these children, which can be regarded as repaying Li Erniu's kindness.
They searched for this dilapidated courtyard to live in.
Li Huaize can read and write, and often helps the doctors in the next village to record the pulse and take care of the account books, and sometimes even the village chief needs Li Huaize to help him copy documents or something, and will naturally give them some medicine and food afterwards.
Neighbor Zhou Auntie will occasionally help them.
Although the days were difficult, they survived in the end.
But today, when Yu Mian heard her sister mention her aunt's house, she suddenly thought of something.
In the book, in order to arrange a miserable enough life experience for the villain Li Huaice, he married the original body and fled with the money and eloped with others, but later on the eve of escaping, thieves sneaked in and stole the rest of his family's food and money.
And this thief is none other than the children's eldest aunt - Tang!
caused Li Huaize to throw away the last shred of dignity, dragged his sick bones, and kowtowed from house to house.
Seeing him begging for food, people were eager to point at his backbone and curse.
Self-esteem is rubbed into the soil, but it can't be exchanged for a trace of compassion.
Later, Li Huaize calculated this account on the original body, so when he pushed the original body into the Wild Wolf Valley, the expression on his face could be so happy.
Recalling this, Yu Mian touched her sister's hair and said slowly: "Just tell your aunt what you want to eat in the future, since the eldest aunt has separated from us, she is an outsider, and you don't need to be polite when you see her in the future." ”
Anyway, their family is not a good person.
The younger sister nodded as if she didn't understand.
The sun was shining at noon, and Yu Mian didn't let her sister continue to follow her to help.
When the younger sister returned to the room, she mysteriously approached the two brothers and whispered, "Auntie has become so gentle!" She just smiled at me, and she smiled so beautifully! ”
"You're being captured by delicious food, aren't you?" Erbao twisted his eyebrows and said.
"Where? Didn't my brother see it too? I think that now that my aunt has gotten better, we should be better to her, and my uncle explained before leaving, asking us to listen to my aunt. ”
"Listen to her? If you had listened to her, we would have been sold to human traffickers by now! Sambo said gloomily.
The younger sister pursed her lips violently, and her heart palpitated.
Erbao took the opportunity to hug his sister over and said to Sanbao: "Let's wait for the uncle to come back, as long as she doesn't sell us, we will be obedient." ”
"Well, it's okay not to get beaten anyway."
After saying that, Sambo lowered his head and stared at his knees again.
"Yikes!"
The younger sister suddenly exclaimed and leaned in front of Sanbao, "Third brother, your legs are not swollen!" ”
"Really?" Erbao also hurriedly came over and said in surprise.
Sanbao's face was calm, and he nodded for a while, "Yes." ”
"Great!"
Erbao almost jumped up happily, and then said in distress: "But your medicine has already been eaten, the uncle is not here, Chen Hu and his mother will definitely not let us pay on credit, what should we do?" ”
Several children frowned at the same time, looking bitter and hateful.
The younger sister said slowly: "Let's tell my aunt, shall we?" Auntie is so powerful, there must be a way! ”
Sambo pursed his lips and pulled off his trouser leg casually, blocking the wound on his knee, "Let's talk about it." ”
Erbao and the younger sister looked at each other, and then they both fell silent.
At the same time, Yu Mian had already marinated the chicken, and she deliberately left a few tender bamboo knots today, planning to use them to make bamboo rice.
The marinated chicken thighs are cut into diced meat and stir-fried in a pan of oil, and the surface of the meat is cooked at high temperatures to become firm and elastic.
Diced carrots, corn kernels, green beans, and white rice are mixed together with the fried chicken, packed into bamboo tubes, and then placed on the fire rack to be burned.
The emerald green bamboo is gradually discolored by the fire, and the rice fragrance, mixed with the aroma of meat and bamboo leaves, slowly seeps out from the cracks of the bamboo, this smell can simply confuse people.
As soon as the wind blew, the fragrance ran outside.
Neighbor Zhou Auntie had just cooked a pot of hot soup, with a few sweet potatoes floating on it, and there was not even a grain of rice in the hot soup below.
As soon as she smelled the smell of meat, she hurriedly stopped what she was doing, closed her eyes and sniffed it several times.
Whose food smells?
"Mother! What did you cook? ”
Chen Mao kicked and pulled straw sandals, stuck his head out of the house, and looked at his stove with blank eyes.
Aunt Zhou saw her son's unpromising appearance, and said angrily: "Do you smell the fragrance of our family again?" ”
“……”
Chen Mao followed the fragrance, looked over the low wall of his house, and said enviously: "What year is it, how can you still smell the smell of meat?" ”
Chen Mao can't wait to lie on the wall of his house and smell enough!
Aunt Zhou walked over with a broomstick, slapped Chen Mao's buttocks directly, and said angrily: "You can still smell the smell of meat, but you can be tolerated!" Hurry up and get me down, clean up in the afternoon, and we have to go to your aunt and grandma! ”
"Eh! Stop it! ”
Chen Mao scurried for a while, covering his buttocks and hurriedly said, "Mother! Mother! Someone called the door! ”
"Who's calling the door? You give me an honest ......."
"Knock knock—"
Aunt Zhou's words were interrupted by a knock on the door.
Someone really came.
Aunt Zhou dropped the broom and said to Chen Mao: "Hurry up and bring the soup in, your brother is hungry." ”
Saying that, Aunt Zhou walked out quickly.
The door opened, Yu Mian's bright face was revealed, with a gentle smile, and Aunt Zhou was stunned for a long time.
"Ah...... The lady of the Li family? You...... How did you have time to come? ”
"Aunt Zhou, just call me Yu Mian."
Yu Mian lifted the bamboo tube in his hand and said with a smile: "I heard my sister say that the family didn't have enough to eat before, and you often helped them, so I made some bamboo tube rice today and specially brought some over, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Bamboo rice?
I haven't heard of it, but just smelling the scent makes my mouth water.
But the expression on Aunt Zhou's face was a little sneering, "Li family lady, you are too polite, I just served soup to the children twice, you ......"
Yesterday, she was still yelling for her son to tie up Yu Mian to see the village chief, and now she doesn't know why Yu Mian seems to have changed as a person, but she is embarrassed to accept it.
"Aunt Zhou, you're welcome, just to thank you for taking care of the children before."
"Okay, you have a heart."
Mrs. Zhou had a straight temperament, and when she saw that she couldn't shirk it, she happily took the bamboo tube from Yu Mian's hand.
The bamboo tube is also tied with a straw rope to make it easy to carry.
Yu Mian didn't say much, nodded with a smile, and prepared to leave.
"That, Li family lady!"
Aunt Zhou stopped Yu Mian, and stopped talking a little.
Yu Mian said: "Aunt Zhou has something to say." ”
"Whew! Actually, nothing. ”
Aunt Zhou looked at Yu Mian and said slowly: "Huaice, this child, although his body is weaker and he usually talks less, but he is a sincere child, and his heart and eyes are not bad, since you follow him, let's live a good life, now the world is difficult, although a few children are burdensome, but they are also living human lives, aren't they?" You...... Bear with me.
Don't blame me for talking too much, I just see a few children who are really pitiful......"
"I understand."
Yu Mian knew that Aunt Zhou was a sincere and warm-hearted person, otherwise she wouldn't have come over to deliver bamboo rice.
She smiled and nodded, "I know what to do." ”
