The countryside is still busy farming, but for the sake of the family's health, it is time to replenish some meat, and the housekeeper woman is not idle, and will come to the market to buy. If you don't have pork, you will buy some poultry and eggs to supplement it.

Aunt Liu's kimchi has sugar in it, and sugar in ancient times was a precious thing, so the price had to be doubled. Ordinary people want to buy it, and they will weigh it, and the taste is really good, but it is just an occasional toothpick.

Therefore, it is self-evident who she is really looking for in trading.

Fat, she didn't take it out of her cuffs in front of the Xiao family.

Subsequently, it was Aunt Liu who entered the kitchen, and first found two large lard boards on the board, and her eyes were surprised for a moment, and she probably didn't ask anything, and began to cut pieces and boil lard.

Sister Ling held a rock sugar gourd in her mouth and looked into the kitchen with her eyes open.

Tang Zangyue blocked her sight and began to drive away: "Eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, who taught you this?" Go, go to the village with your little aunt. ”

"Oh......" Sister Ling said vaguely.

Xiao Yuenong is not like Sister Ling and the twins, a rock sugar gourd is reluctant to chew in her mouth. She only tasted the sweetness, and the sourness hit the tip of her tongue when she chewed it, and she almost vomited.

In the end, I didn't want to eat the second one. Then, I heard Sister Ling muttering: "Little aunt is so good, let me eat if you don't eat it......"

Xiao Yuenong: ......

Forget it, whatever the little niece thinks.

There are seven hawthorns in a string of rock sugar gourds, one for each of the four people, and there are still three left, which is just enough to remove Xiao Yuenong.

It's just that as soon as I arrived at the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, a few pairs of children's eyes looked at Xiao Ling'er with bone...... Rock sugar gourd in hand.

Sister Ling immediately had a sense of crisis, and hurriedly hid behind her little aunt Xiao Yuenong, and then tentatively stretched out a little head. When he looked at the green eyes that were still bony, he suddenly retracted his neck.

Retracted behind the little aunt's back, not giving others a chance to snoop!

Xiao Zhonghao looked at his new playmate blankly, and then looked in the direction of his little aunt, not knowing why.

Xiao Zhongran felt it.

They are the Xiao family, who are small and clothed, but they also have heavy responsibilities. When they were young, their families asked their masters to teach them to read and write, and the martial artists in the military camp taught them to practice basic skills.

During that time, there was no shortage of food in their mouths, but they cried bitterness in their mouths. I don't know that on the road to exile, Xiao Zhongran really realized what suffering is.

At that time, it was really bitter, but the mouth did not cry bitterness.

Hiking every day, walking with cramps in my legs, which is more uncomfortable than cramps in the long night, the eldest brother and the second brother have to carry forward, and the younger sister and little aunt are also replaced by grandmothers and aunts. Later, at the reminder of their grandmother, they wrapped their calves in rags and adapted to hiking.

What's the suffering? It was the first time I tried whole grain rice.

The coarse grains were chewed and swallowed, like rice scraping through his throat, and the pain was so painful that he almost cried.

It's too loud.

But the rest of the family didn't complain, and even the second brother didn't even have a subtle expression......

Xiao Zhongran only knew that the second brother had lived a poor life before returning home, and recently he saw the second brother who could do anything and get started with anything, and he realized how hard the second brother's life was before.

Therefore, he disliked the fourth uncle more and more, and admired the second brother more and more.

After getting along with the children in the village, I realized what the basic skills I practiced in the past were. The children in the village are hungry, and the boys are like that, let alone the girls who have been nurtured by the patriarchal era.

They lack food and drink, and their bodies are not yet neat and tidy.

Xiao Zhongran sighed with emotion, looked at the little aunt's gaze, and got the same feeling, before saying to Sister Ling: "Little sister, the little aunt can let out her rock sugar gourd, and I can too." None of them have ever eaten sweet, so give my rock sugar gourd to these children. ”

Xiao Zhonghao pondered, even if he was skinned, he was infected by the thoughts of his twin brother, and said, "Fourth brother, my one, we are one and a half." ”

Xiao Yuenong nodded, pulled the little niece out from behind her, and said, "Go ahead, give Brother Ran'er that one to everyone." ”

Sister Ling groaned for a while, unable to sort out her thoughts, and only said her true thoughts, and said, "Little aunt, if you don't eat it, the two brothers will eat half of it, but I can eat a whole one...... Wouldn't it be bad? ”

Xiao Yuenong's ignorant and blank gaze at Sister Shangling, as if she had done something wrong, was timid. She felt distressed for a while: "No, Kong Rong let pears, I let you, they let other children, we are selfless and know how to be humble." You are the youngest in your family, and you want to do something humble...... Hmm, wait for Yuechun to give birth to a child and then be humble, you should be old enough by then. ”

Xiao Ling'er's eyes were like a thick fog that had been cut open, and she suddenly brightened up, and nodded: "I understand, because I am the youngest, even if I want to be humble, I have to wait for the second brother to give birth to a little niece, and then I will have a humble object!" ”

Xiao Yuenong met the eyes of her little niece, and finally sold Xiao Zhongli.

This is the little niece's own misunderstanding, but don't do her business. Although her words have a guiding effect, she can refuse to admit it.

A rock sugar gourd was crushed by Xiao Zhonghao through the glutinous rice paper, and one person shared some broken slag, but not many people cared about the remaining hawthorn.

There is no other, but hairy chestnuts and hawthorns, which can be seen everywhere at a certain time.

Maoli was picked and stored as grain by the villagers, but the hawthorn taste was too sour and appetizing, and not many people picked it. In these years, there is not enough food to eat, who still eats sour appetizers? Except for the pregnant little lady.

A little bit of sugar melted in the mouth, and the children's dirty faces showed a unified happy smile.

I don't know who started it, and the children thanked the four radish heads of the Xiao family one after another.

The world of children is easy to fit in, and a small benefit can be a good way to mingle with them.

They finish picking the ears of wheat in the field during the day, and have free time before the night eclipse. They took the four little radish heads of the Xiao family to the mountain, looking for those hairy chestnuts.

Originally, they only ate once a day, but when they were busy with farming, for the sake of their bodies, not only did they rarely get fishy meat, but they even ate twice a day. So tired is tired, but every family is happy.

The chestnuts on the mountain are ripe in August, and they picked up a few branches, and set up a small firewood pile with flint stones, and threw a few of the pickled chestnuts into it to roast for a while.

The Xiao family has never eaten a few small radishes, but they have eaten a soft snack like chestnut cake.

Sister Ling drooled and asked, "Can it be delicious?" ”

One of the boys, snorting hard, nodded and said, "It's delicious, it's definitely delicious." ”

After roasting for a long time, Xiao Ling'er really smelled the fragrance of chestnuts, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "It's so fragrant......"

One of the girls from the same village, went to the fire to pick up chestnuts with her bare hands, quickly passed around the two palms, and then blew hard, dissipating the heat before handing it to Xiao Ling'er, "Ling'er, you taste it, it's delicious." ”

Mao Li held it in Xiao Ling'er's palm, there was residual warmth, but it was not too hot, she opened the outer shell, and the millet teeth bit hard.

Wow......
