good old days

Chapter 2
Jiang Zhenwu is the only male in the second room of Jiang's family. He is only eight years old now and has a very solid skin.

Some of the hot porridge was spilled, and Jiang Yuzhu was so distressed, some of it was poured into Jiang Yuzhu's hands, and Jiang Yuzhu licked it up without wasting it.

Jiang Zhenwu smelled the aroma of rice porridge, and almost drooled, poking his head to look at the bowl in Jiang Yuzhu's hand.

Jiang Yuzhu wanted to teach him a few words, but she held back when she thought of the twenty cents that her second aunt gave her.

Mrs. Li has already returned to the house, and there is no one in the yard. The yard looks empty, only the humming of pigs and the proud "clacking" of chickens after laying eggs.

Jiang Yuzhu put the bowl into the house without closing the door, and then, like a thief, she took out the eggs that the hen had just laid from the chicken coop.

The egg was still warm, and Jiang Yuzhu hurried back to the house holding it in her hand.

Not surprisingly, I heard Mrs. Li yelling and cursing when she went out.

The door was kicked by Duang, Duang, Jiang Xinyu was afraid that the dilapidated wooden door would fall apart.

Mrs. Li scolded harshly, to the effect that Jiang Xinyu, a bereaved star and loser, is not worthy of eating her family's eggs.

These days, eggs are so expensive that they can be sold at a supply and marketing agency for money, or they can be exchanged for needles, thread, brain oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. When someone else’s family has a happy event, bringing three eggs to the door is a good gift.

The chickens raised by each household are not for food, and no one is willing to eat them until the Chinese New Year. They are all used for money and goods.It can be said that eggs are an important source of income for the family.

When Jiang Yuzhu went out to quarrel with Mrs. Li, and then went to Li Fugui's house to serve porridge, Jiang Xinyu's mind flooded with a large amount of original Jiang Xinyu's memories.

Jiang Xinyu still has some headaches after sorting it out, but she knows Jiang Yuzhu in front of her.

This is the second sister of the original owner, Jiang Yuzhu.

Jiang Yuzhu was wearing gray and patched clothes, she was very thin, and her face was so thin that it became an oval face.

Mrs. Li kicked the door cursingly at the door, and what she said was unbearable. In 23 years of Jiang Xinyu's life, she has never seen an old lady who is more aggressive than Mrs. Li.

Those who didn't know thought that Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu dug her ancestral grave instead of just taking an egg.

Jiang Yuzhu directly cracked the eggs into the rice porridge and stirred them with chopsticks. Soon, the eggs turned into yellow egg flowers.

The bowl containing the rice porridge was still open, and it didn't look so clean. When it was brought to Jiang Xinyu, the smell of eggs came to her nostrils.

"Little sister, eat it while it's hot, drink it to make you sweat, just cover it and it'll be fine."

Looking at Jiang Yuzhu's eager red eyes, Jiang Xinyu was quite moved.

The original owner, Jiang Xinyu, jumped into the river last night, and she should have arrived after the fire was gone.

She was extremely hungry, her stomach was rumbling, her whole body was burning and exhausted, she sat up and leaned against the wall, Jiang Xinyu drank half of the rice soup boiled out of rice oil with a bowl in her hand, leaving half of the thick soup for Jiang Yuzhu.

"Sister, you drink too."

Jiang Xinyu thought it would be difficult to call a stranger "sister", but she didn't expect that it would be easy.

She could feel Jiang Yuzhu's love for Jiang Xinyu.

She didn't know how she got here, whether she was dreaming or something, according to the posture of the truck crashing over, there was a high possibility that she and Chen Yi would not survive.

Now that she has become Jiang Xinyu of the Wuli Village Brigade of the Red Star Commune in 1976, where is Chen Yi?

Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to take the bowl. Others had a fever, and their faces became redder and redder, but the girl was pale. These days, she blamed herself for losing a lot of flesh.

"Drink too much, I want to vomit, you can eat, it's a waste if you don't eat."

Jiang Yuzhu still refused to eat, "In the evening, I'll heat it up for you, add some water and cook again, this rice nourishes people, and you just need to supplement it."

There are a total of seventeen people living in Jiang's courtyard, and they can't eat rice twice throughout the year. Eating white flour steamed buns without other noodles during the New Year is delicious.

Jiang Xinyu's heart is complicated.

Before the car accident, she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking. Even the dogs she raised bought dog food, meat and various snacks that were not cheap. But now, a small bowl of rice soup has become an extremely expensive s things.

"Sister, you eat!" Jiang Xinyu emphasized her tone, Jiang Yuzhu in front of her was obviously malnourished, her hair was all yellow, she was not the original owner, and she couldn't just lie down and eat the fine grains that Jiang Yuzhu didn't know how to get .

Jiang Yuzhu licked her dry lips, but she couldn't hold back Jiang Xinyu, she was really hungry, and she was still a bit greedy, so she had to drink up the thick rice soup, not a single grain of rice was left.

After drinking, Jiang Xinyu drank two more pills with hot water, and her whole body began to sweat.

Jiang Yuzhu took all the quilts from her parents and made them up for her.

The quilt has also been covered for many years, and the cotton inside has long been in balls, and the quilt feels damp and heavy, not fluffy or soft at all.

Jiang Yuzhu covered her with only one head exposed, patted the quilt and said: "Little sister, Dad's death has nothing to do with you, if you want to blame it, blame it on our grandma, don't do stupid things too much. "

"Our mother should be back soon. When she comes back, someone will decide for us. Eldest sister, I didn't tell her about you jumping into the river. She has to take care of the child and work after giving birth. It’s not a problem to run back in the middle of the day.”

Jiang Yuzhu babbled, Jiang Xinyu drank the medicine, and from time to time she responded with a sound of medicine strength, she was drowsy, and finally closed her eyes altogether.

Jiang Xinyu thought to herself, when she wakes up again, it will be just a dream in front of her.

Seeing that she was asleep, Jiang Yuzhu got up and went to Li Fugui's house.

The members of the Jiang family did not help the two sisters when her father died and her mother went home to visit relatives. Uncle Li and Aunt Cui had no relationship with them but were willing to help them. Jiang Yuzhu was naturally very grateful.

Jiang Yuzhu went to Li Fugui's house, cleaned the yard of his house, went to the forest belt to pick up firewood and brought her back.

It was also a coincidence that she also picked up a nest of seven wild eggs, which happened to be used to thank Aunt Cui.

Uncle Li and Aunt Cui helped her, and they didn't think about asking her to repay her. If they want to repay, it is also a matter for adults like Chen Xiuyun.But Jiang Yuzhu is really sensible, she helped her, and what she did was really ironic.

Jiang Xinyu lay drowsy on the bed, and her dream was full of the experience of the original owner in the countryside in the past 17 years, and the village became lively.

"Widow Wang, Widow Wang, your Chen Yi fell when he was learning how to drive a tractor at the agricultural airport, and he was sent to the health center. You should go and have a look."

Half the people in the village heard what they shouted loudly, and they all came out to watch the fun.

Widow Wang, who was tidying up the pigsty, felt her legs go limp when she heard this.

The members outside were chattering.

"How can learning to drive a tractor cause problems?"

"Back when the captain recommended Chen Yi to learn how to drive a tractor, you still made irresponsible remarks. Now it's all right. I didn't expect something to happen, right?"

"I don't know where the injury is, does it matter?"

...

After Widow Wang recovered, she rushed out of the pigsty in the courtyard without even closing the courtyard door, and went to the health center of the commune.
