Chapter 18 Distressed
Cui Hejin has always had a good impression of Jiang Zhiluo's father, and he slowed down his voice and said: "Mother, it's nothing, you also said that they are all family, and Zhiluo and I should honor you." ”
Ye Shi looked at Cui Hejian, and only felt that this son-in-law was really Zhilan Yushu, with a noble and elegant temperament, if he was not guilty, he would not be ......
However, she also knew that although this child looked cold, his heart was actually very good.
She doesn't have to worry about Zhiluo being wronged or anything.
After a few words of greeting in the courtyard, Ye hurriedly asked them to come into the house to drink water.
"By the way, mother, what about them?"
"Your father went to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water, and your second and fourth brothers went to the river to catch a fish and come back, and it was good to fight the tooth sacrifice at noon."
"Your third sister also went to the mountains early in the morning to pick some fungus mushrooms, and they were fresh."
"You're not at home, they're not used to it, they're still chattering when they're eating, knowing that you and Hehibiscus came back today, they woke up before dawn, and they wanted to do something."
There were no good things at home, so they thought about getting something with their own hands so that they could welcome their eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law.
When Jiang Zhiluo heard this, her heart warmed.
Her second brother is named Jiang Yunshu, who is fourteen years old this year, and her third sister Jiang Yunhua is thirteen years old this year.
The fourth brother Jiang Yunzheng is ten years old this year, and the fifth sister Jiang Yunmian is eight years old this year.
The sixth brother, Jiang Yunxuan, is five years old this year.
As they spoke, they entered the house.
Jiang Zhiluo saw a big basin in the stove, there were chickens in the basin, the water in it was still hot, and there was a small bowl of chicken blood next to it, as if the chicken had just been killed.
Jiang Yunmian looked at her eldest sister's eyes and explained: "Sister, my mother arranged it two days ago, saying that she would kill a chicken today, and you and your brother-in-law will come back, and we can stew chicken at noon." ”
Jiang Zhiluo knew that the four chickens raised at home were all used to lay eggs.
killed a chicken like this, Jiang Zhiluo was a little distressed.
"Mother, this chicken still has to lay eggs, why should I kill it."
You must know that this chicken means one egg a day, and one moonshine egg can be sold for fifteen cents.
The market for eggs is almost two eggs for a penny.
For rural people, fifteen yuan is a lot of money, and you can buy three catties of brown rice to eat.
Ye said: "This chicken doesn't lay eggs much, and if you keep it, you just eat food for nothing, so it's better to kill it." ”
"Don't worry, the weather is warm, you can lay eggs again after a few months of growth, don't worry about that."
When Ye said this, he didn't want his daughter to blame herself.
She is very economical on weekdays, but she is willing to give her daughter-in-law and son-in-law anything to eat.
When the daughter-in-law and son-in-law return to the door, why should they be entertained with some good things.
Nothing to be reluctant towards.
Jiang Zhiluo felt a little uncomfortable.
If the family conditions are good, she will eat one chicken if she eats it, but the family still points to the chicken to lay eggs and sell them for money, and she eats the chicken, she feels guilty.
It seems that we still have to find a way to make the conditions at home better.
After Ye Yunmian helped her mother pour water for her sister and brother-in-law, she quickly sat down and plucked chicken feathers.
She works quickly and quickly.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Fifth sister, I'll come." ”
Jiang Yunmian seemed to be frightened, "Sister, don't work, don't get tired of your body, just rest with your brother-in-law, I will do this." ”
Since childhood, Jiang Yunmian has been instilled with a deep-rooted idea, that is, the eldest sister is the treasure of the family.
The eldest sister suffered with the exile back then, and they had to cherish the eldest sister as younger brothers and sisters, but they couldn't let the eldest sister be tired and bump into it.
If the eldest sister is gone because of such and such things, they will have no place to cry.
So Jiang Yunmian is only eight years old, but like a little adult, he is a good hand at working at home.
And she is also a little strong.
She looks a little like her father, with a hint of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes.
Forehead......
Jiang Zhiluo was a little speechless.
After all, in the past, at home, her younger brothers and sisters were rushing to work, so she also did some light work on leftovers.
It can be described as very leisurely.
Jiang Zhiluo took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Yunmian and said, "This is the candy for you." ”
Jiang Yunmian was surprised when she saw the sugar, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, which showed that she was happy.
On weekdays, there is nothing good to eat in the village, and sugar is the best thing they can see.
It has a sweet taste, and it feels sweet in my mouth when I eat it.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yunmian did not refuse his eldest sister's kindness and said, "Sister, thank you." ”
"Say thank you to your sister, and my sister will bring you good things in the future."
Jiang Zhiluo felt a little sorry for her younger brothers and sisters.
At such a young age, he is still in school in the era of science and technology, and he is the treasure of the family.
But here, they have been treated as adults, they themselves are sensible, and they should work and work.
Of course, everyone in the village is like this.
Very few families can afford to send their children to school.
It's really a bundle of money, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, that's a lot of expense.
If someone doesn't have a few dozen taels of silver a year, they can't even think of sending their children to school.
Jiang Yunmian listened to her sister's words, thinking that her sister was too simple, she showed a sad look, and couldn't help but persuade: "Sister, if you have good things, it's better to leave them to you and your brother-in-law." ”
"You're married, my brothers and sisters and I can't help you with anything, you take care of yourself, we don't have to worry about you anymore."
Jiang Zhiluo opened her mouth in surprise, but she was speechless.
Also, the predecessor is always not very smart, and it does make younger brothers and sisters worry about it.
But her heart warmed.
It's nice to have my younger siblings who love me like this.
Jiang Zhiluo hugged Xuanxuan and talked to her mother: "Mother, I see that there are also some willow trees by the river, and willow buds have just grown, and those willow buds can be picked back to make vegetables, dumplings, and buns to eat." ”
Originally, Jiang Zhiluo also wanted to go to the river to pick some willow buds, but she was very busy in the past two days and didn't have time to pick them.
Ye Shi was a little incredulous and said, "Girl, willow buds can be eaten?" ”
In all her years in the village, she had never heard of it.
However, when I followed the escape team to this side, there was nothing to eat on the road, and it was normal to gnaw on tree bark and grass roots to pad my stomach.
Most of the people in their village were people who had fled the famine at that time and settled down.
After what happened at that time, people don't want to eat anything related to tree bark now.
They all eat grain, and everyone doesn't want to eat wild vegetables.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mother, the willow buds are fresh and can indeed be eaten." ”
Ye Shi listened to his daughter's confident tone, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his daughter's eyes, only to feel clear and clean and full of wisdom.
Ye's heart was shocked, is this okay?
Ye's face was a little unpleasant, and he asked tentatively, "Girl, are you ...... Do you think about what happened when you were a child? ”
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Ye's pale face, shook her head and said, "No, mother, what's wrong?" ”
