Chapter 3 Can't open the pot

It's a sunny day after the snow, and it's a good day.

Wei Yi'an had nightmares all night and didn't get a good night's sleep.

When the sun shines in, the cold and narrow room is much brighter.

The dizziness is no longer obvious, and the pain in the back of the head can be tolerated for the time being.

The soil kang under him was cold, so Wei Yi'an couldn't lie down, so he thought about getting up and slipping.

Wei Yi'an leaned against the wall and easily moved to the door of the room, looking around, this is really a family with four walls.

In the hall, there was a half-worn cabinet against the wall, and the door handles were all off.

Two lame wooden stools leaned crookedly against the dusty square table, and a stack of dishes and chopsticks was piled up on the table, and there was nothing else, and the clean could not be cleaner.

This is really a wasteland, Wei Yi'an sighed.

The cold wind swished from the broken door of the hall to the hearts of people, freezing Wei Yi'an shivered and couldn't stop coughing.

She herself is not afraid of this coldness, after all, she survived the last days, her body is very good, as strong as a cow, but now this body is really weak.

Hearing the movement outside, Doudou poked his head out from under the broken grass curtain hanging upside down on the west door.

Seeing that it was Wei Yi'an, Doudou's eyes lit up, and he wanted to come up and finally paused, but he still shrank his head and called "mother" timidly.

Wei Yi'an saw that he wanted to get close to him but didn't dare to step forward, pitiful, and felt a little unbearable.

She herself is an only child, and she has no relatives at home, so she has no experience of intimate contact with children.

After the end of the world, he only cares about fleeing for survival by himself, and it is difficult for children to survive in that environment.

She was used to being alone, and suddenly became a mother, and two babies really gave her a headache.

It's just that the child in front of him just wants to get close to his mother, Wei Yi'an beckoned to Doudou, Doudou looked at her with blinking eyes, but didn't react.

She had no choice but to say, "Doudou, come here." ”

Doudou came over in two steps and looked up at Wei Yi'an.

Wei Yi'an asked him softly, "Are Doudou hungry?" What about my brother? ”

Doudou nodded and pointed out the door again, "It's ,,, ,,, out there!" ”

He spoke late, and the original body didn't teach him well, so he now speaks with a few words and a few words.

Although he said stumbling, Wei Yi'an still understood.

This melon seed is not home early in the morning, and I don't know what is going on outside.

Today the snow stopped, the ice was three feet thick, and the road was very slippery.

However, Wei Yi'an felt that her worries were completely unnecessary, mainly because she had a headache when she thought of what the original body had done to her two children.

Wei Chunxing has always felt that she was sold to the He family by her mother's family, and her husband is not by her side all the year round.

After getting married and living alone, her life was sloppy and helpless, and she was even more annoyed and frustrated by coping with two children alone.

Therefore, she never had two children in her eyes, and when Guazi was young, she scolded him, and later she was completely indifferent and ignored when she had Doudou.

At a young age, the two babies were treated as a gas bag by their mothers, and they were disgusted and disgusted, and sooner or later they had to be psychologically distorted.

But if she really pats her ass and walks away, no matter what she doesn't ask, these two children will completely become fatherless and motherless orphans, and she is really ruthless.

The original owner has never read a book, he doesn't know a single big word, and his life trajectory is extremely simple.

I have never been to the county seat, and the farthest place I have been to is Taohua Town, which is twenty miles away from the village.

As a result, she can't tell which dynasty this is, let alone what kind of system and regulations the current household registration management is, whether ordinary people can move around at will, she doesn't want to become a homeless.

It's useless to think about that right now, so let's stay honest until we heal from our injuries.

Wei Yi'an rubbed Doudou's head, "Let's go, let's cook and eat." ”

Doudou hugged Wei Yi'an's legs, rubbed his head Wei Yi'an's palm, looked at her with bright eyes, and shouted happily: "Mother! ”

This appearance made Wei Yi'an inexplicably have a sense of immediacy like a cat.

Wei Yi'an, who was overflowing with maternal love, instantly felt cold and cold at the moment she moved to the kitchen.

It is said that it is a kitchen, but it is only a gray earthen stove and a water tank, and there are several spice jars on the stove.

A chest of drawers with mottled and peeling slag from the walls, which is dilapidated. There was a pile of firewood, but the rice urn was empty.

On the ground is the bamboo basket that the melon seeds got back yesterday, and the radish and cabbage in it have not moved, and there is a pumpkin.

Next to the chest of drawers, there are a few jars of pickles, which were sent by the original mother.

After glancing around, this family is really poor and can't open the pot.

Wei Yi'an couldn't figure it out, how did this family live so miserable?

It is said that the men in the family recruited soldiers to join the army, and according to their memories, the family will receive a monthly example sent by He Zhuangshi at the end of each month, which is 500 yuan per month, and a one-time allowance of 20 taels at the end of the year.

I don't have any land, so I spend money to buy everything.

Today's price is 600 wen per stone of rice, about 120 catties.

Even three meals of white rice a day is enough for a family of three like them to eat for three months.

This boundary is close to water, and ordinary fish are only 20 wen a catty. Pork is forty wen a catty, don't think about beef and mutton, ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money, not to mention that few can afford to eat it.

But vegetable seasoning is cheap, and it costs up to 50 wen a month.

In this way, in addition to buying food, if you beat a pound of meat at a time, you can eat fish and meat several times a month, and the original body can also spend a hundred yuan if you have to buy some fruits and snacks every month.

According to the original style of spending money, the daily chewing of 500 wen is not enough, mainly relying on the allowance of 20 taels.

But in the memory of the original body, He Zhuangshi revealed that he should be 800 yuan a month, and keep 300 yuan for himself.

And he will also take out one-third of the allowance of twenty taels to use it for personal exchanges between colleagues and to dredge up filial piety to his superiors.

In the memory and cognition of the original body, most of the families in the village can earn twenty taels a year, and it seems that their own income is not very good.

Wait, Wei Yi'an suddenly discovered that in the few exchanges between the original body and He Zhuangshi, a piece of information was also revealed.

For soldiers who died in battle, the imperial court would give a certain amount of pension to their families.

And the family is separated from that side, and the original widow, as a widow, should receive this pension.

However, the original body was not interested in what her husband said at the time, and she did not pay attention to these "nonsense".

When the news of her husband's death on the front line came, Doudou was less than a year old. The original body lacked milk, Doudou was hungry and cried day and night, she was upset and irritable, and cried after learning the news, and that's it.

She is not a very shrewd person, and she will not know what pensions are not pensions.

If the money is really distributed and the family does not get it, then who else can receive the money?

"Mother?" Doudou saw Wei Yi'an standing still, thinking that his mother was "dead" like yesterday, and hurriedly shook Wei Yi'an's legs.

Wei Yi'an immediately came back to her senses, stretched out her hand and stroked Doudou's fluffy head, and said softly: "Come, mother makes a fire, Doudou sits with me, okay?" ”

Doudou obediently sat down on the wooden pier in front of the earthen stove, staring at his mother's busy work.

Wei Yi'an boiled a pot of water first, and carefully scalded and wiped the stacks of dishes, chopsticks, iron pots, spatulas, wooden spoons, water scoops and other kitchen utensils on the table in the hall with the loofah on the wall.

Then quickly cut and wash the radish and cabbage, put oil and stir-fry, put in seasonings, add water and simmer.

The seasoning at home is unexpectedly complete, with salt and soy sauce.

Wei Yi'an tasted it, the radish soup tasted unexpectedly good, it is estimated that it has been too long since I drank such clean water and ingredients, which is really nostalgic.

Doudou stared at his mother with clear eyes, "Mother! Beanie, eat! ”

Wei Yi'an took a pair of chopsticks from the pot and gave it to him, so hot that Doudou grinned and said, "Good-eat-!" ”

When the melon seeds were frozen and Si Hashasha came back from outside, he saw the smoke rising from his kitchen and thought he had gone to the wrong door.

When he tiptoed to the hall, Doudou was holding a bowl and drinking fragrant soup, and his mother, who had not given him a good face for ten thousand years, actually wiped Doudou's mouth with a smile!

Melon Seed slapped his brain, yes!

My mother is cooking today, and she is cooking and shouting that Doudou is eaten together? Do they still eat together and wait for themselves?

The melon seed looked around, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt a sense of crisis, he wiped his nose, stepped into the hall with a stamper, and then began to cry at his mother's "wow".
