Chapter 5 Who is living these hard days?

It is his dragon and phoenix siblings, the boy's name is Xu Ping, the girl's name is Xu An, which means peace, and like Xu Ling, their names are all taken by his father.

The two children are thirteen years old this year, but they are almost short, thin, barefoot, and their clothes are covered with patches, Xu An is a girl, but she looks no different from a little boy, with a long clear nose, and her trouser legs can be pulled up to her knees.

As soon as Xu saw it, he wanted to find Jing Tiao to beat her, "You dead girl!" What to do with so much meat! Let the bad man next to him look at it, marry you home and beat you three times a day? ”

Xu Ling on the side: ......

How does he feel that someone is CUe himself?

Xu An screamed, threw the blades in his hand to the ground, and hurriedly ran to the eldest brother's side, "Brother! Save me! ”

Xu Ling is not good for his wife and children, but he is very good for a pair of younger brothers and sisters.

When he was a child, he was hungry and had to steal things from outside to bring home to feed his younger siblings.

I don't know how many beatings Xu Ling has to raise such a thick face.

He stopped Mother Xu, "Okay, just let her go." ”

Modern souls don't think this is a big problem, and even if there is a problem, it is a problem with an ill-intentioned scumbag like Xu Ling.

Xu An was saved by his eldest brother, and hurriedly ran back to pick up the fish that fell on the ground.

Xu Ping was excitedly talking about how they had stolen the fish back.

Yes, it's stealing.

The big river that flows through Lotus Bay has no name, and the people in the village call it Dajiang. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, the lotus bay is close to the big river, naturally there are fishermen fishing, but the river outside has turned a sharp bend in the lotus bay, the river is turbulent, and the high tide is even more scary, ordinary villagers go down to the river to catch fish, and there are often drowning things.

Take Lotus Bay, for example, several children drown every year.

Therefore, Xu Ling'er was ordered not to allow his younger brothers and sisters to go down to the river to catch fish, and he practiced his own skills in the water, but the two younger brothers and sisters did not know this way.

Naturally, this fish was not caught by them in the river, but by those boatmen who were fishing, and took advantage of the gap between the people and the ashore to jump on other people's boats and rob them.

The two children were quick with their hands and feet, and they didn't take much, they ran away when they stole it, and they were beaten if they couldn't win, and they didn't know how many houses they stole before they stole back five crucian carp the size of a palm.

Xu Ling was silent.

He looked at the two proud children in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Scold them and get them to return the fish?

Just asked Mother Xu to return the chickens, the porridge and water that the family drank in the morning were no different, and then returned these fish, where did he go to conjure up food to fill their stomachs?

Xu Ling seems to understand one thing a little, hunger will devour people's moral character.

He shook his head helplessly, he could only suppress the idea of transforming his younger brothers and sisters in his heart, and asked Mother Xu to dispose of the fish and cook it to eat.

The Xu family has three rooms, two rooms, a kitchen and a utility storage room, which was originally used to stack firewood, but Xu Ling is a laborer at home, and sometimes when he is in the mood, he will hoard some firewood for the family.

If they go to the town to gamble one day and don't go home for a few days, Xu Ping and Xu An will go to "pick up" other people's firewood.

Now there are not a few firewoods left, and there is no iron pot, which has long been sold by Xu Ling's gamble, and only a pottery urn with a missing mouth remains.

Mother Xu simply took out the internal organs of the fish, if it weren't for Xu Ling's insistence, she wouldn't even want to scrape the scales, and she was still chattering when she was cooking the fish, saying that Xu Ling was extravagant.

Xu Ling was speechless in her heart, and saw her dig out a small jar in the kitchen, take out an unknown object from it and throw it into the pot.

After boiling in the pot for a while, a pot of fish soup is ready.

Mother Xu smiled happily and first served a bowl to Xu Ling, and then asked her two children to serve it.

"Go and ask your sister-in-law and eldest girl to come out for dinner." Xu Ling said to Xu Ping.

Mother Xu's eyes widened, "What are you telling her to do!" ”

Xu Ling looked puzzled, "Eat." ”

"You're so good to her! Just give her some bones and soup left over in a while, can she starve to death? It's not like she doesn't have a mother's family! Mother Xu's face was full of displeasure.

Xu Ling was speechless and died. But look at it again, there are three fish boiled in the pottery urn, one and a half in his bowl, one and a half in his bowl, one and a half for the two younger brothers and sisters, half a tail for Mother Xu, and the rest are soup.

The fishy smell is full, after all, there is no fishy seasoning in the soup, the white one is a little cloudy, and Xu Ling can't eat it just by looking at it.

With such a meal, the Xu family also has to guard against Gu Yu, an "outsider" who gave birth to Xu Ling!

Xu Ling was still a little resentful, why did she let herself become a man, but looking at the situation of this woman, she suddenly became a little happy.

But the good news should not be based on women's suffering.

"Go and get them out for dinner!" Xu Ling said toughly.

Xu Ping put down the dishes and chopsticks and obediently went to call someone.

The Xu family hates that iron does not become steel, but who calls this Xu Ling's opinion.

Gu Zhen took her daughter out, and the eldest girl had already smelled the smell of fish, and shouted happily: "Fish! ”

She raised her little face to look at Gu Yu, shook her hand, and the corners of her mouth flowed with crystal saliva water, "Mother, Yuyu!" ”

Gu Yu quickly raised his eyelids to glance at Xu Ling, and squeezed out a response in his nose, "Hmm." ”

Xu Ling didn't know how to face his cheap daughter-in-law, and said with an unnatural attitude: "Sit down and eat." ”

Gu Yu went to the kitchen and took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, but the clay urn on the ground had already been emptied, leaving only a few pieces of broken fish and meat, and the rest was soup.

Silently, she put the fish in a bowl, scooped up a large spoonful of soup, and fed it to her daughter.

The eldest girl stood between her legs, squinting happily, "Yuyu! ”

"Well, fish."

Gu Zhen's voice was very soft, as if she had no strength, and her appearance was clear and beautiful, which really matched the description of the camellia in the book.

It's just that no matter how good-looking a woman is, she can't eat enough and dress warmly, and she will be abused by the person next to her pillow, and she won't be able to see anywhere.

Love is like raising flowers.

Such a sentence flashed through Xu Ling's mind.

He accepted his identity and was willing to take on the responsibility of the family, but he didn't know if he could give Gu Zhen what he wanted as a woman.

"Come here, I can't finish eating." Xu Ling said to Gu Zhen, seeing that the whole family looked at her in surprise, she secretly thought that she couldn't change too quickly, so as not to let people see that something was wrong and treat her as some evil monster, so she frowned and added: "I have a headache, and I want to vomit when I eat nausea." ”

Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully held the bowl to his bowl.

Her hands were so slender that they were dry, her fingers were dirty, and her wrists were thin and boneless. Xu Ling glanced at it and sandwiched the meat from the fish's belly into her bowl.

Crucian carp originally has more spines, "the fish belly has fewer spines, give it to the big girl." ”

He put most of the strip into Gu Yu's bowl, and gave the rest to his younger brothers and sisters.

So that it is not partial.
