Li often said in private, "Even if it is a brother who lives in a floating family and is a compatriot, once he becomes a family and marries a daughter-in-law, it is another family!" ”

After listening to it for a long time, Ah Yuan knew that only her father, mother, and she were a family, and even grandparents could not be counted, because grandparents were also 'another family'.

Every time Li said this, Fu Dabai's expression was not good-looking, but he never refuted, at most he said, 'Okay, it's a family, the child is still there, don't say this.' ’

Li also said unconvincingly every time, "What are the children afraid of!" Just let A-Yuan follow along, and let people take advantage of the province! ’

Then there was a long list of swearing.

Generally, the Li family talks about this because Ah Yuan's food was eaten by rabbits and apricots, or Li was afraid that Ah Yuan would give things to the rabbits and apricots to eat, or the food given to them in this room was less, or when the food was about to be shared, Li was afraid that the food would be less.

For example, now, it is halfway through noon, and the stove of the old floating house is smoking.

Today it happened to be the turn of Xiao Yang's in the second room to cook.

Xiao Yang's cooking skills have never been very good, she is the daughter of a relative of Lao Yang's side, and the relationship between crutches and crutches can barely be regarded as Lao Yang's niece.

She died when she was two or three years old, and her stepmother looked at her when she entered the door, and she was in a hurry to send her away at the age of eleven or twelve.

It happened that the old Yang family went back to visit relatives and had the heart to find a daughter-in-law for his son, but when the mother inquired, everyone said that they couldn't marry the old floating family, they were too poor, and it would be equivalent to opening meat for their family if the mouse went in.

As soon as the queen mother heard this, she couldn't be happy, and gave Xiao Yang the bride price of three cents.

Lao Yang took her home, raised her for two years and gave it to her second son, not even a wedding, and when she was fourteen years old, Xiao Yang gave birth to her first son.

When Xiao Yang's family left home, the dowry of the stepmother Yiwen was not given to her, and she turned over three times with two patches and patches of clothes for fear of being taken out.

When the girl went out, she said, "Don't come back if you starve to death, wealth is also your own business, if you have the heart to send something back, it is your conscience." ”

That's it, and I'm still thinking about what to send back.

Xiao Yang grew up in this environment when he was a child, he could do any job, but he couldn't cook, and his stepmother was afraid that she would steal food, and the door had to be locked three times when the stove was not in use.

After marrying into the old floating family, he began to learn to cook, but he didn't have much talent, and the difference in craftsmanship was indescribable.

She searched again, and she was reluctant to put more rice, noodles and noodles, oil by drops, and salt by grains.

Cooking like this is in line with family conditions, but it is really unpalatable and unpalatable.

Although the pots and pans are eaten every time, I am really hungry after eating.

Every time she cooked, Li had to tell Ah Yuan.

"Mother tells you, don't be a tiger, smack your milk and touch that mouthful of food, so what's the matter.

Your second aunt originally searched for it, just to tell her to grab a handful of rice, and she would also grab half a handful, saving half a handful.

That's it, add a pot of water, drink it in, and the thatched house will be gone after two trips, waiting for your milk to share that?

Everything has to fall into the belly of her son and grandson!

The old lady doesn't say anything, but she is partial to her son, and her grandsons are worse, and her granddaughter is even more discouraged.

Your father and I are the only one with you, and you can be regarded as having her eyes, and there are still not a few grains of rice in the bowl, which is better than your two cousins.

After a while, you will eat quickly, and if you don't eat the bowl to stick to your father and grandfather, the two of them will give you a share of the old lady's distress, so naturally add it to them.

Don't care about your two sisters, they can follow them if they want to stare at them, their parents don't hurt, and they still expect the uncle's family to share the food from the bowl.

It's just that you are stupid to think that they are sisters in the family.

It didn't crawl out of your mother's belly, they themselves have a family and brothers, and they are people from the other two families, and they want to eat and find their parents and brothers.

It's just one meal a day, and it's not enough to eat by yourself, so you don't care if they live or die. ”

Ah Yuan was nagged by the Li family, carried around, dressed in a daze, washed his face, and was stabbed with two round little pinchs.

Since Ah Yuan was fooled into taking away two meat buns, Li felt that he was afraid that he had raised a melon baby, and he had to remind Ah Yuan to leave his cousin alone all the time.

Lee's cliché chattered and finally asked, "Listen?" ”

"Listen, don't give it." Ah Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes, and responded obediently without any energy.

Adults can endure even if they eat little.

But the children couldn't stand it, and they were so hungry that they could walk a few steps, so they could only tell them to sleep a little longer if they could, and when they fell asleep, they would not be hungry.

Therefore, the children of the old floating family often sleep until noon and get up, and they can eat together.

After eating, he roasted a fire in the big house, lasted all afternoon, and then went to sleep at night.

At their age, even if they want to go out and find a job, they can't do it.

In the winter, I can only rely on the Fu Dabai brothers to go to the town to find some hard work, and a few women of the Li family embroider some handkerchiefs and purses to sell, and occasionally receive some pulp, washing, sewing, and helping people cook to subsidize the family, but there are not many such jobs in the village.

Adults make just enough money to get by.

In the past few days, the road has been closed by heavy snow, and even if you want to go out and find a job, you can't do it.

These are all gossip, the most important thing now is to eat, after Li's instructions, I will be relieved to listen to Ah Yuanying.

A-Yuan has always been an obedient person, and he promised his father and mother that he would do it obediently.

Li touched Ah Yuan's head with satisfaction and said, "Ah Yuan is really good." ”

Then he led her out the door.

Fu Dabai yawned and followed them, and at first glance, he was the same person who had just woken up like A-Yuan.

Xiao Yang had already set the food on the table in the big house.

A pot of porridge with clear soup and little water, eight or nine nests, and a plate of shredded mustard greens.

Adults can get half a nest and half a bowl of porridge, and the children can share the rest, and two or three-year-old children like Ayuan, Apricot, and Niu Wa can't eat enough, let alone those older children.

Whether the child is hungry or not, the little Yang family in the second room never cares.

Zhao and Wang broke the nest in their hands, hid a small piece in their sleeves, and gave a part of it to their sons.

The rabbit and the apricot stared at each other for a moment before they lowered their heads and bit the head of their nests.

The Li family also hid a piece in the same way, and this piece usually fell into Ah Yuan's mouth, but when the Li family wanted to break off a little bit in his hand and give it to Ah Yuan, Fu Dabai took the first step to divide a piece of his nest head.

Ah Yuan took it silently, but he didn't eat, and hid it in his sleeve, ready to wait for the night when he went back to the house and was hungry and then shared it with his father and mother.

The old Yang family, who was distributing the porridge, gave him an extra spoonful of porridge with a wooden face.

Fu Dabai sighed and snorted after eating, but the spoonful of porridge was saved in the bowl, and it was poured into the mouths of Li and Ah Yuan by Fu Dabai.
