The sun is blazing.

The weather was hot and stuffy, there was not a hint of wind, and the thick air seemed to freeze.

The scorching sun made people's sweat beads roll down, Gu Xiaoxiao pinched her sleeves and kept wiping the sweat on her forehead, and her legs floated on the ground, as if she was stepping on cotton, without a sense of reality.

After a delay at the Zhao family, when I returned home, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as they walked to the door of the house, Lin Sibao and Lin Xiaoxi walked out with anxious looks on their faces.

When he saw Gu Xiaoxiao's figure, he stopped.

Every time my mother goes to Zhao's house and comes back, she will settle accounts after the autumn, and this time I am afraid that it will be ...... It's no exception.

Ignoring the two little ones, Gu Xiaoxiao stuffed the chicken in his hand to Lin Erbao, "Remove the feathers of the chicken, will you?" ”

Lin Erbao nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Gu Xiaoxiao took a long step and walked to Wang Xiulian's bed, "How do you feel?" Is it better? ”

Wang Xiulian lay straight on the bed, turned her head to look at Gu Xiaoxiao, her eyes were full of panic: "Mother, I'm already fine, mother, can I get out of bed?" ”

Before her mother-in-law left, she asked her not to get out of bed and move, and she didn't dare to disobey her mother-in-law's order, so she could only lie down until now.

"Stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!"

Gu Xiaoxiao took a look, Wang Xiulian's face was indeed much better, and then said, "Okay, then you get out of bed." ”

People who are used to working suddenly let her lie down and don't do anything, but she is uncomfortable.

Wang Xiulian quickly sat up from the bed, cleaned herself up, and then went out to go to the toilet, she held back for a long time......

Gu Xiaoxiao sat under the eaves and raised the fire in the stove again, and the medicine for the fetus should be taken twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

The medicine jar was gurgling and bubbling, and the courtyard gradually smelled bitter, Lin Xiaoxi carried a small basket and put it on the ground, and there was a blue cloth ribbon wrapped around it.

"Mother, this is what I found at the door of my house."

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at her.

Two long eggplants, a few small tomatoes, and a cucumber, and a small handful of beans.

It happened that Lin Dabao came over, pointed to the small basket and said, "Isn't this the basket of Grandma's house?" Why are there so many dishes in our house? ”

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "Since it was sent by your grandmother, then accept it and fry more vegetables in the evening to send it to his second elder." ”

There are indeed no vegetables at home, and she is still thinking about what to do with this chicken, and these dishes sent by the old lady of the Lin family can undoubtedly be called timely rain.

The medicinal soup in the medicine jar was hot, she reduced the fire, let the sparks inside boil slowly, walked into the room and clicked on the online supermarket, and bought three catties of ordinary rice, this time she didn't buy Northeast pearl rice.

Pearl rice generally only appears on the tables of wealthy businessmen and some large families, and it is understandable for her to take a pound or two, if she takes it every day, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

Give the rice to Wang Xiulian.

Wang Xiulian hesitated a little on her face, and asked in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, is there really no problem with eating like this?" ”

Although the mother-in-law was angry with the Zhao family and didn't plan to go to the Zhao family again, but she ate like this every day, what if there was no food in the back?

There hasn't been much rain this year, and the rice heading can't be pumped out, so how good can the harvest be?

Gu Xiaoxiao knew what Wang Xiulian was worried about, she just waved her hand, "It's okay, I have an idea in my heart, you just do it, don't worry about it so much." ”

Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Wang Xiulian didn't want to say anything more.

I couldn't stop worrying in my heart, my mother-in-law has been giving the family such good food these days, and my mother-in-law really plans to sell the child......

She had heard before that when Renyazi came to collect the child, if he saw that he was in good physical condition, he would give a little more silver.

But after all, it's a guess, what the mother-in-law thinks, and she can't chase after her to ask for an answer.

Wang Xiulian sighed secretly in her heart, and resigned herself to her fate to wash rice and cook, and her movements were very neat.

What can be done?

Take it one step at a time.

Lin Erbao put the processed chicken on the board, wiped the water stains on his hands, walked to the shade of the tree, and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao who was lying on the chair, his eyes were cold, and his face was blank.

"Chicken, I'll kill it."

"Oh oh, good!" Gu Xiaoxiao squinted, fanned the wind with a fan, and her hair fluttered in the wind.

"It's still early, I'll get it when Xiulian cooks."

Lying under the persimmon tree to enjoy the shade is the only pleasure after Gu Xiaoxiao came to this ancient time.

Every time she lies down here, her mood is much better.

Lin Erbao didn't say anything when he heard this, and went around the backyard to review the moves he learned from his master.

The stove room was soon filled with aroma.

Seeing that it was about the same time, Gu Xiaoxiao stood up and walked to the side of the board to take a look, this was a chicken that had just laid eggs not long ago, and the meat was quite tender.

She had already eaten stewed chicken yesterday, and she immediately decided to fry the chicken to eat.

Chicken breast, chicken thighs and chicken bones, divided into three.

Stir-fry chicken breast with eggplant to make a dish, chop chicken thighs and chicken bones into small pieces, put them in a pot and blanch them, then wash them and stir-fry them with beans until fragrant.

Cucumbers are served cold.

There are still two eggs at home, and they make a soup with small tomatoes.

Gu Xiaoxiao sandwiched a whole bowl of chicken and covered a bowl on it, now there are many people in the village who can't eat enough, and holding a bowl of chicken will inevitably attract people's eyes.

She took out five copper plates from her pocket and handed them to Lin Erbao.

"Send it to your grandmother's house, remember to say thank you."

In Gu Xiaoxiao's opinion, things that can be solved with money are not things.

She is afraid of owing favors, although it is just a small thing in daily life, but little by little, it will be troublesome if she is repaid by coercion.

The experience of living alone for more than 20 years told her that outsiders are never so easy to take advantage of.

Lin Erbao nodded, turned his head and ran out the door.

……

It was almost six o'clock in the sky, and the shallow crescent moon curved in the sky.

The old house of the Lin family.

The second elder of the Lin family has already eaten, eating buckwheat and wild vegetable paste, with a pot of beans fried bacon, eating six or seven minutes full, people are old and can't digest, plus the family has to plan for the coming days.

This kind of food is the best in Shanao Village, and looking at the entire Shanao Village, there are few families that can eat meat.

On weekdays, only the Lizheng family and the village chief's family can eat meat from time to time, and other families have to save several days to buy a palm-sized piece of meat if they want to eat meat.

Old man Lin cleaned his pipe and sighed incessantly.

It has not rained for months, and the crops in the fields are about to die, and in half a month, more than half of the people will be completely out of food, and then ......

Mrs. Lin had just sent away the people who had come to borrow food, walked back to the yard, picked up the sole of a shoe, and took it with a needle, scraping the needle on her scalp.

"Don't sigh, we paid so much grain to the court a few years ago, and now we are in trouble growing crops, and the court will never ignore it...... Li Zheng didn't go back to town a few days ago, there will definitely be a solution...... The officials will never call us to starve to death......"
