Honghu Wild Wharf.

Lu Xiaoyu squatted in front of the tandoor, adding firewood to the stove little by little.

"Mother, is the rice porridge delicious?"

"It's delicious, why isn't it delicious, this is rice porridge. The rice with white flowers is boiled out, and it is very fragrant! ”

Qiu Shi lifted the lid of the pot and stirred to let the aroma come out.

"You smell it, isn't it fragrant?"

Lu Xiaoyu got up half-stiffly, approached the crockpot and sniffed deeply: "Hmm, fragrant." ”

The rice with white flowers, with water, boiled for half an hour, becomes a fragrant and sticky rice porridge.

The Qiu family has grown so big, and they have given birth to a few daughters and sons, and they have never eaten such a good thing.

After smelling the porridge, Lu Xiaoyu became more and more interested in burning the fire.

Before Qiu left, he told Xiaoyu that he should boil slowly on a low fire to eat and nourish people, so she added fine wood to the stove one by one.

She and her sisters picked up the firewood and grass burned at home, and the hay was cut and dried by her mother one by one.

Not to mention boiling porridge, even on weekdays, there will be no fire to waste firewood and grass.

In the pot, the originally clear water wrapped in the white grains of rice tumbled and jumped, and finally became sticky.

The aroma spread across the wild pier, and the children of several families around gathered around.

One by one, they surrounded the small tandoor, stretched their necks and greedily inhaled the overflowing porridge incense.

Li Cancan ran over barefoot in his brother's old jacket, the wide jacket dragged under the crook of the leg, and the jacket was empty, not even a pair of pants.

The boy on the wild pier is not dressed like this alone. At least five of the six children did not have Zhou Zheng's clothes to wear, either wearing the old clothes of their brothers and sisters, or wearing their father's and mother's ragged shirts.

It's good to be able to raise the child safely, have a stutter, and have a place to sleep.

The weather is warm, and it is not in the way that the clothes are thin. When it comes to summer, some children are shirtless all day long, who cares if they are ashamed or not.

Li Cancan relied on his own boat and Lu Xiaoyu's boat to lean next to each other, and struggled to squeeze away the two children who were surrounding Lu Xiaoyu, regardless of whether he was wearing pants or not, and squatted directly beside Lu Xiaoyu.

Frankly showing the little finch, I don't feel shy.

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing at home, it's so fragrant." As he spoke, Li Cancan snorted his snot.

The yellow pus snot sucked into the nasal cavity and slipped out again.

Raised his sleeve and wiped it, and the black and shiny cuffs immediately erased a long and bright horizontal bar.

Li Cancan didn't feel ashamed, and raised his hand to prepare to push the small fish.

As if he had been pinched, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly bounced up from the ground and shouted with a sharp throat: "Li Cancan, you are not dirty." ”

"It's dirty."

Li Cancan rubbed his sleeve on his body indifferently, and leaned towards Lu Xiaoyu's side, "What are you doing here, so fragrant?" ”

"You don't care what my family eats, stay away from me."

Lu Xiaoyu pushed the plum jar to the side in disgust, "It's dirty, why doesn't your mother wash you, look at your sleeves, it's all knotted." ”

Qiu's love to be clean, although the Lu family is also poor, the whole family has always been clean and neat.

Li Cancan's mother was not a particular person, and Li Cancan's half-sized child was very naughty. Washed cleanly, he went crazy and came back in a disgraced way, and then his mother didn't care about him.

The children of poor families all come over like this, and no one will say anything.

"Why are you like this?"

Li Cancan was pushed by Lu Xiaoyu and got angry, "I'll just ask, it's not okay, and I won't eat you." ”

"No, you go quickly, don't get in the way here, if you squeeze my pot over, you will have to ......"

Lu Xiaoyu wanted to say cruel words, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered a sentence, "I'll let your father and mother lose money, and lose fifty yuan." ”

For a child of her age, it is difficult to have a penny, let alone fifty pennies.

Fifty cents, that's a lot of money.

"Hmph."

was so disgusted by Lu Xiaoyu, Li Cancan's face was a little unbearable. He snorted unhappily, and glanced hard at the lid of the steaming pot of the Lu family, before angrily pulling a few friends who played with him.

"Let's go, no one is allowed to play with Lu Xiaoyu in the future, and whoever plays with her will not give me the face of Li Cancan."

The boy was dragged away by the plum pots, leaving a thin black girl about the size of Lu Xiaoyu still squatting in place, only staring at the pot where the rice porridge was boiling, eager to get in and take a look.

Before the Lu family's rice porridge was boiled, the little girl was also called away by a thin woman: "Ma Lanhua? Where did you die? Haven't come back to wash diapers yet. ”

Ma Lanhua reluctantly got up, turned back as she walked, and finally was dragged back to her boat to wash diapers by the ear.

In the shack, Lu Yangge listened to the noise outside and turned quiet, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't have half a bit of curiosity about this strange world, only helplessness and sighs.

This fucking crossing, it turns out that what is written in the novel is true!

After the rice porridge was boiled, Qiu took a wooden bowl and carefully scraped the rice grains and soup in the pot into the bowl. She glanced at Lu Xiaoyu who was squatting next to her, and felt a little unbearable for a while.

Not to mention the child, even she is so hungry that she can't wait to bow her head and take a sip.

Qiu Shi took the spoon, scooped a spoonful out, hesitated for a while, poured back the small half spoon, and then rubbed the bottom of the spoon on the edge of the bowl, and then carefully handed it to Lu Xiaoyu's mouth: "Xiaoyu is good, just take a bite, this is for Xiaosi, she is still sick." ”

Lu Xiaoyu took his eyes off the rice porridge in the spoon with difficulty, and shook his head vigorously: "Mother, I don't eat, I'm not hungry, give it to Xiaosi, Xiaosi will be fine when he is full." ”

In the first few days when Xiao Si first came home, he had been groggily asleep.

The doctor came twice, and my father went to grab several packets of bitter medicine and came back to boil it, and then poured it into Xiaosi little by little.

The bitter medicine, Xiao Yu secretly dipped her fingers a little bit and tasted it, it was really bitter, it was bitter that she had never tasted.

Yesterday, Xiaosi finally woke up, and I don't know what my father and Xiaosi said in the house, when I came out, my father's eyes were red, and my mother kept wiping her tears.

Little four, this is good, right?

When she drinks her mother's porridge, it will get better faster, right?

As long as Xiaosi can get better, it doesn't matter if she drinks porridge or not.

Qiu glanced guiltily at the well-behaved little fish and withdrew the spoon. She thought about it, and simply added a small half bowl of water to the pot, stirred and stirred, and scooped it out and handed it to the small fish when it boiled.

"Drink."

The rice porridge in the pot was scraped clean by Qiu, and only a little rice cereal baked at the bottom of the pot was boiled by Qiu's water, and a small half bowl of slightly whitened rice soup was also obtained.

The water in the pot with little water in the clear soup was drunk by Lu Xiaoyu to bring out the taste of rice porridge.

Just this small half bowl of rice soup, Xiaoyu was not willing to drink it alone, so he took the bowl into the cabin and asked his two sisters to share it.

Seeing Xiao Yu holding the bowl with great caution, Qiu's throat choked.

Xiaosi woke up, and the doctor said that the child was a little seriously injured, and he had to drink a few days of medicine and raise it with his heart.

This rice porridge is not easy to come by, almost all the money saved by the family in the past half a year has been given to Xiao Si for medicine, and the remaining dozens of Wen have only bought more than half a liter of rice, and can only boil a few meals of rice porridge for Xiao Si to eat.

It's not her partiality to be a mother-in-law, but if life can be better, she can't do it.
