Chapter 11: The Broken Temple (2)
Zhou Daya thought to herself, just like that, even if she borrowed these things from Sister Ruoli, she will definitely return them to her when she settles down in the future. They are a big family, and they can't take advantage of an orphan girl.
Du Ruoying thought to herself, even if she didn't want to, Ah Li would find a way to send it to her mouth, and it was better to accept it than to twist and pinch. If you repay it in the future, you will have to repay it for such a long time.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, and hurriedly quickened their pace to catch up with Du Ruoli.
Du Ruoli was outside the window of the wing room, tearing off the broken window paper, and motioned to Du Ruoqiu, who was working on the fire, to take the basket.
Later, Zhou Daya and Du Ruoying concocted the same method and sent things in. Then go to the courtyard empty-handed to eat.
There are two large iron pots in the courtyard, in which bacon and millet porridge are boiled.
There is a lot of soup and little food, and when it is distributed to everyone, it is only a piece of meat and a lot of rice.
But everyone was happy, standing by the firewood and laughing loudly.
Du Ruoli was infected by them and was also full of expectations for this meal.
Finally, the patriarch ordered the meal to be served.
The ladies in charge of the spoon, in order of before and after, beat each person a thin bowl of millet porridge, and then a bowl of broth with a piece of meat floating on it.
The person who caught the meal did not go back to the house, nor did he eat first, but giggled with the hot bowl.
Du Ruoli came early, and it was soon her turn.
She can be regarded as standing by the meat pot, and she secretly pours corn oil into the steaming pot under the cover of her sleeve.
She actually wants to put meat more, but the knife is not good, she can't cut out the paper meat, and she will wear it.
Corn oil is also very good, it can supplement some fat for the tribesmen.
When the five catties of oil went down for more than half a year, the rice was ready, Du Ruoli took back the oil drum, took the rice and left.
saw Du Ruoqiu tied up her little niece behind her, holding Du Ruoyu in her hands, and lined up in the crowd. Du Ruoli hurriedly went over to pick up her sister, and like everyone else, she took the bowl and waited for others to cook.
After everyone got the meal, everyone tore the black buns into the porridge bowl, drank a mouthful of porridge, drank a mouthful of broth, smacked their mouths, this is what people eat!
Infected by this strong emotion, Du Ruoli also tasted sweet, unprecedentedly sweet.
After eating, when they returned to the wing, Zhou Daya and Du Ruoying showed the harvest in the basket to their families, and they exclaimed again.
Zhou Daya fed Xiao Ruoyu to the full, and Du Ruoli held her in her arms and fell asleep.
It was the first time she had taken her sister to sleep. The little baby was small, her bones were not hard, and she didn't sleep well all night, and she couldn't help but worry that she would crush the little person to death.
At night, my sister began to hum quietly, and she immediately woke up and hugged her tightly.
The autumn night was cold, there were no stars and no moon, Du Ruoli took out a bottle of milk from the space and put it into her sister's mouth in the dark.
My sister ate happily, and she leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was a suppressed cry from the ruined temple.
I didn't want to pay attention to it, crying in the difficult years, my wife is too normal, as normal as eating and drinking. Without space, she cries at least three times a day.
But in the next second, she heard Du Zhizhong's voice.
Du Zhizhong cried sincerely, knelt in front of the patriarch Du Changxing and said: "Patriarch, uncle, you believe me, I am not greedy for ink, I was wronged." I have read poetry and books since I was a child, and I know that honesty and shame will never do such a hurtful thing. ”
The patriarch paused for a moment to drink tea, put down the cup in his hand and asked, "What's going on, tell me?" ”
Du Zhizhong leaned into the patriarch's ear and said a long list of words.
The patriarch's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he slapped his thigh suddenly: "So, our Du clan will soon be able to rehabilitate and return to our homeland?" ”
Du Zhizhong nodded heavily: "Exactly." ”
"God forbid!" The patriarch clasped his hands together and felt relieved.
Du Zhizhong's mouth moved a few times, and the patriarch seemed to guess what he meant, and returned the forty taels of silver that he had taken away during the day to him, and said guiltily: "The medicine and food are gone, and only these silvers are left." Take the money back and add something to the next station. As for the ...... that are eaten and used."
"No need, no need, no matter what the people say, it's because I'm suffering, and those things should be offset." Du Zhizhong took the silver: "I'll go back first, patriarch, you rest early." ”
The patriarch waved his hand at his back: "Eh, you should rest early, too." ”
Hearing the sound of Du Zhizhong going out, Du Ruoli hurriedly retreated from under the window. Unexpectedly, there was another person behind him.
"Shhhh The man picked her up and ran down the wall.
Du Ruoli heard that it was Du Ruozhen's voice, and followed without hesitation.
The two ran to a hidden place to hide, leaning close together, and when they heard Du Zhizhong return to the house, they began to speak quietly.
Du Ruozhen said: "Do you believe Du Juren's words? ”
Du Ruoli shook her head: "I didn't listen to all the words, so I didn't dare to judge." However, I don't think he is a person with a bottom line and measure, and he doesn't know etiquette, righteousness and shame. ”
"You're the same as I thought." Du Ruozhen said: "He has no one in his eyes, only himself." Such a person will ignore things when they do things...... I didn't expect you to be silent and have a long brain! ”
Du Ruoli: "......"
Thank you!
Du Ruoli changed the topic: "If you do that during the day, you are not afraid of offending him?" He is a villain, and he will hate you and take revenge on you. ”
"What can be done? My grandmother fell so hard that she couldn't survive. Du Ruozhen looked at the curved moon in the sky, and his eyes flashed with a small light: "If you hold a grudge, you can remember it, I am not a vegetarian." ”
"Oh, let's go vegetarian then, shall we?" Du Ruoli took out two carrots from her arms like a trick, clicked and bit one herself, and handed one to Du Ruozhen.
Du Ruozhen was a little incredulous: "Are you sure you want to give me food?" ”
Now food is in short supply, and if you eat a bite less, you don't have anything to eat at home, and you don't give it away at all.
"Sure." Du Ruoli put the carrot in her hand: "Eat, it's sweet, it's delicious." ”
As he spoke, he took another bite and ate it deliciously.
Du Ruozhen is not a twisted character, after making sure that the other party really gave it, he took a bite generously: "Well, it's delicious!" It's better than what you grow in the sand of your hometown. If only there were seeds, I went to the west and settled down to plant a piece. In winter, gather around the fire, roast warmly, and eat a sweet carrot, which is very beautiful......"
Du Ruoli listened to her with a smile, and liked this girl more and more.
She has a rare freshness in this era, and she is so brilliant that people can't take their eyes off it.
The two each finished nibbling on a carrot, parted ways, and went back to their houses to sleep. In the second half of the night, Du Ruoli no longer woke up and slept very peacefully.
