Chapter 2 Eggs in the Age of Famine

Su Shen suddenly seemed to remember something, she broke away from Jinyue's embrace, and said, "Mom, you must be very hungry, you go to bed first, and I'll make you something to eat."

Jinyue was taken aback for a moment, although she knew that the children of the poor had already taken charge of their families, and that the children in the 80s and [-]s learned to take care of themselves and their brothers and sisters early because their parents neglected to take care of them.

But no matter how early you are at home, the 6-year-old in my impression is just a child who is naughty every day and can make parents crazy, can he cook?

After Su Shen went out, Jinyue lay down again, rubbing her aching head, she wanted to take a good look at the memory of her original body.

This is a small mountain village in the north called Fanwan, and what I traveled to was a large family named Su.

Father Su and Mrs. Su have 7 children, except for the second child who is a daughter, the other 6 are sons.

Although the eldest Su Chi and the second Su Cheng have married, they have not separated.

The elders have one son, two daughters and three children.

Now there are 14 people in the family, big and small.

There are 14 mouths for 14 people, in this age of famine.

What's even more shocking is that Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su's daughter-in-law Mrs. Zhang are both pregnant.

Jinyue couldn't help but think that it's no wonder that the family planning in her memory was implemented so strictly and urgently. At her time, "fewer births and better births lead to a happier life" and "only one birth is good, and daughters are also passed on to future generations."

Their classmates are all only children.

Jinyue jumps back into the memory of her original body, wanting to see how she lived before she was alive.

It really hurts to see this.

Yuanshen is really a poor person. She lost her mother since she was a child, and her stepmother treated her badly. Miscarriage, no wonder the frail and sickly, and finally ended up being sick and dying.

Thinking of the original body's fate, Jinyue felt anxious, how could she survive in such a complicated environment?
Sigh, I don’t want to think about it anymore, I just got my life back, so I can’t really seek death, I’d better take a step and see.

Just when Jinyue was imagining her future life, Su Shen came in cautiously holding a big light green foreign porcelain bowl.

"Mom, get up and eat." Su Shen put the bowl on the side of the kang, said crisply and slightly mysteriously.

After not eating for several days, Jinyue was really hungry.

There is a white and round poached egg lying in the foreign porcelain bowl. Jinyue thinks of making poached eggs when she was studying, but every time she is washed into a mess by boiling water, it is rarely so round.

It's amazing that such a young child can make such a perfect poached egg.

Jinyue picked up her chopsticks and was about to gobble it up, but just as her mouth touched the edge of the bowl, she suddenly seemed to remember something.

She put down her chopsticks.

This is not the era she lived in, this is the 80s, eggs are still a luxury, especially in a big family like theirs.

Although there are many chickens in the backyard, the eggs are saved and sold for money.Only every Chinese New Year and everyone's birthday has the opportunity to eat eggs.

Even so, Yuan Shen, Zhang Shi and the others never ate it, and left it for the children.

Looking at the earthen yard and the earthen house and its rudimentary furnishings, it is impossible for their family to achieve egg freedom.

Where did this egg come from?
Chen Jinyue put the bowl aside, bent down, took Su Shen's cold hand, and asked gently: "Shen'er, where did you get the eggs?"

Su Shen's face turned red all of a sudden, she lowered her head, rubbed her hands together, and didn't speak.

Jinyue understood more than half of it in her heart, and she asked patiently again, guiding Su Shen to speak boldly, and promised that she would keep the secret for her.

Su Shen murmured for a long time before he said falteringly, "Auntie went to sell eggs in the morning, and I secretly hid one."

Through the original body's memory, Jinyue's mind immediately came up with the tall and fat Zhang Shilai with her two blistered eyes who often half-closed her eyes.

If we let her know that Su Shen stole the eggs, is it okay?
After all, taking advantage of the problem is his strong point.
