Chapter 494: Green and Yellow Don't Pick Up
Because everyone has a goal in their hearts, everyone thinks that as long as they go to the Northeast, they will be able to live a stable life, they will be able to eat enough, and they will no longer have to endure that kind of starvation life. net
Ma Po Niang was the only survivor in her family, and after she fled to the northeast, she fainted at the edge of the small village. Xiao Xiao was only one foot five hungry, and she was really going to starve to death at that time.
Then it was the people in this village who saved her, and under the arrangement of the people in the village, Ma Po Niang married her husband Ma Tong, and finally picked up a life.
Although Ma Tong is 20 years younger than himself, and he is still blind. And Ma Tong is the poorest man in the whole village!
But Ma Tong is a very kind person, with a good heart and eyes, and he is very real. He still had a little savings in his hands, and although the two houses were very dilapidated, at least they were a place to live.
If it weren't for Ma Tong, Ma Po Niang would have starved to death more than ten years ago.
Ma Poniang thinks about her past in these years, and the more she thinks about it, the more sad she becomes, the more she thinks about it, the more painful she becomes, the more she thinks about it, the more heartbreaking she becomes.
She couldn't help crying desperately, thinking about the bad luck that had happened to her for so many years. The husband was blind and couldn't go out to work, and for so many years, all the work in the family fell on his own.
The year before last, the conditions at home were a little better. The two of them had just raised a few chicks, but before they had grown up, they were taken away by the wolves on the mountain.
Ma Po Niang was crying while thinking, and at this time, there were suddenly several coughing sounds.
Ma Poniang naturally knew that this voice was made by her husband, and her husband was sitting in the room and didn't know what was wrong, and he coughed!
She immediately wiped the tears from her face, then sighed hard, then put on a big smile and looked up at the blue sky.
It's already noon, and it's time for everyone to have lunch. Ma Po Niang held the handful of leeks in her hand, and then went back to the kitchen, but as soon as she walked into the kitchen, Ma Po Niang began to feel a little depressed in her heart.
Because there is no food at home, just a little leek, I don't know what to do. In the end, Mrs. Ma rummaged through the cabinets and finally found a spoonful of cornmeal.
She chopped the leeks into dices, mixed them with the cornmeal, and finally put a little more water in the pot, boiled them into a big pot of slimy polenta, and put a handful of salt on it, barely enough to make do with a meal.
After cooking, Ma Poniang took a bowl of porridge and put it in front of her husband.
"Boss, look at it! Your daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is not bad, isn't it? Hurry up and drink it! It tastes good!"
In normal times, Ma Tong would say a word or two.
"Well, it tastes good, it's very delicious, come, you can eat a bowl too, everyone eats together!"
Then Ma Po Niang would laugh and lie that she had eaten it in the kitchen. Just let your man eat alone! In fact, this kind of thing has been experienced for a long time, because there is no food at home, so for a long time, Ma Po Niang refused to eat, but left those things to her husband.
But this time, Ma Tong was not the same as before. He didn't eat at all today, he had an old dry cigarette roll in his hand, and he was smoking non-stop, and he didn't mean to eat at all.
The woman pushed the bowl of corn paste in front of her husband again.
"Hurry up and eat, what are you doing in a daze!"
But Ma Tong still didn't eat, he just sat on the kang in a daze, and Ma Po Niang also found that her husband had tears in his eyes.
It was at this time that Ma Tong finally spoke.
"Daughter-in-law, you have suffered with me for so many years, don't lie to me, I know the situation of our family. We don't have rice in the pot at all! How long has it been me who eats alone, and you who are hungry alone. I'm not going to eat this today!"
Ma Tong's few words brought tears to the tears of his daughter-in-law. The two of them sat on the edge of the kang in a daze, thinking about the hard life of the two of them, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only sit on the kang together and cry together.
Both of them sat on the kang and cried for a while, and then Ma Tong spoke again. His voice trembled slightly, and he was a little hoarse.
"Daughter-in-law! I've come up with a way to keep both of us alive. It's just this way, I'm afraid you'll hate me after I say it!"
Ma Tong is usually a man of few words, not the kind of person who likes to talk, and today he behaves so abnormally, speaking sentence after sentence. Ma Po Niang felt that something was not quite right.
But Ma Po Niang still comforted her husband.
"Old man, if you have any ideas in your heart, just say it, there is no need to hide it with me. Even if you don't want me anymore and drive me away, I'm willing! I wouldn't have lived so many years without you, I starved to death more than ten years ago!
So now I understand that if the two of us can have one person alive, it will be a great luck. If it really doesn't work, if I die and can replace you with life, I am willing!"
