Peasant girl who traveled through time: I brought an earth with me

Chapter 6: Mother wants to sell us?

The sky is bright, the morning glow is rising, and the pheasants in the yard are awakened by their cuckooing.

Zhong Chuchu thought about it and put the pheasant into the blue star. There were still fish at home. She had some other uses for the pheasant. She no longer had rice or noodles at home, so she could sell the pheasant and buy some rice.

I made some plans in my mind about what to do next, and just as I was sorting out some ideas, I heard movement in the room. It must have been the two boys getting up.

She had to wait a moment before planning the next steps. Taking care of her two sons was the first priority.

When Xiaobao got up and saw that the bedside was empty, his mother was not there, he was so anxious that he cried.

Yesterday, my mother hugged him and said she would never leave him. Why did he disappear when he got up?
There were tears in Xiaobao's eyes, looking pitiful as if he was about to cry.

Dabao is also looking for his mother, but he can't cry.

His mother said that he was a little man and had to be strong and protect his younger brother when things happened, so he tried hard to hold it in and comfort his younger brother.

"Brother, don't cry, mother must be cooking for us outside!" Dabao hugged his brother and comforted him softly.

Zhong Chuchu saw this scene as soon as she entered the door.

"What's going on? I'm crying when I wake up early in the morning."

Then he gently scratched Xiaobao's little nose with his hand: "Look, you're crying like a little cat."

Xiaobao pouted, covered his face and got into her arms. He arched his head and said in a muffled voice: "Xiaobao thinks that mother doesn't want us anymore."

Zhong Chuchu's heart ached with pain.

She gently held Dabao in her arms. The two children still felt insecure.

"Dabao, Xiaobao, mother said yesterday that she would never leave you, right? You have to believe mother. Now there are three of us hooking up, whoever is cheating is the puppy, okay?"

Dabao and Xiaobao nodded together and hooked up. After she put on the clothes and pants of the two children, she took their hands and went out to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

Yesterday, she actually found a piece of soap in the study room, which also contained the pen, ink, paper and inkstone left by Lin Xiucai.

But more of it is her rouge, gouache and some stylish jewelry.

She washed their hands with soap and their faces with water. She broke off a few willow branches and peeled off one end, put a little salt on them and asked them to brush their teeth with her.

After washing, the two children played in the yard, and she went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Today's rice vat is cleaner than her face, there really isn't a grain of rice in it.

She had to take out two apples from the cupboard and steam the half of the fish that she didn't cook yesterday, so that she could at least eat something to make up for it.

Then just sort out the list and see how you can make money.

After the steamed fish was cooked, it was still very fragrant and not stale after being left out overnight.

Zhong Chuchu picked out the fish and gave each of the two children a portion. Adding a little apple, a simple breakfast was completed.

Seeing the fish and apples on the table, Dabao frowned slightly. Seeing this, he guessed that there must be no rice at home, otherwise his mother would not cook rice porridge or something.

I heard from Niu Xiaoniu next door that during the famine years, her uncle's family was too poor to take the blame, so he sold her sister Dahua.

Dabao was very worried whether his mother would also sell him and his brother.

He frowned and didn't dare to move his chopsticks.

Zhong Chuchu noticed that it was like a child and asked: "Dabao, why don't you eat? Is it not delicious? Or do you feel uncomfortable?"

Dabao hesitated and didn't know how to speak.Zhong Chuchu reached out and touched his forehead, and said to herself: "You don't have a fever? Can you tell your mother what Dabao is worried about?"

Dabao then whispered: "Does mother want to sell me and my brother?"

"What?" She really couldn't believe how this child always had so many weird ideas.

"Mom, if there is no rice at home, my mother will sell my brother and me to human traffickers."

Dabao pouted, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have seen the scene where he and his brother were abducted by human traffickers.

Only then did Zhong Chuchu realize that it was the situation at home that made the insecure little guy sensitive again.

She explained patiently: "Dabao, mother will not sell you. You are all mother's little babies. It's not too late for mother to love you. It's just that when you are all growing, you can only grow if you are well fed." As long as you are tall and strong, my mother will find ways to make money. As long as you grow up healthy, you can protect your mother in the future."

Dabao said suspiciously: "Is what mother said true?"

Zhong Chuchu nodded affirmatively!More real than real gold.

After comforting Dabao and serving the two boys after dinner, she washed the dishes and prepared to go up the mountain again.

After all, there are two boys at home. If she really wants to enter and exit Blue Star freely, it is impossible. Moreover, the things she takes out must have a way of origin. Going into the mountains is the best choice.

Just as she was about to lock the door, she saw the pitiful looks on the two boys' faces, and she couldn't bear it.

After thinking about it, if they came back late at noon, they might starve again, so after much deliberation, there was only one solution.

Zhong Chuchu took the two little hands and took them to the Lin family's old house.

When she was less than 200 meters away, she stopped. She squatted down and arranged the clothes for the two boys, and said: "Mother is going to dig wild vegetables later, so you can go to your grandparents' house to play, and wait for mother to come back." Just go pick you up, okay?”

Dabao held Xiaobao's hand and nodded obediently.

They like to go to their grandparents' house very much, but their mother never let them go before.

Zhong Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then Dabao will take his younger brother with him. When you get to your grandparents' house, you must be obedient and don't be naughty. Mother will be here to watch you go in."

Dabao held Xiaobao's hand, and the two brothers walked back to the old house three times a step. It wasn't until they entered the door that Zhong Chuchu turned around and left.

The Lin family's old house is on the edge of the town, and there is a small river not far from the door.

The house is just an ordinary small courtyard house that has been lived in for several generations. The walls have weathered and peeled off, making it look very shabby.

Lin Xiucai is the third eldest child in the family. He has two brothers and one sister.

Old Mrs. Lin is old and no longer has to go to the fields to tend the crops. She is currently drying wild vegetables at home with her eldest daughter-in-law.

The family is prosperous, and the younger members of the family often go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

The excess wild vegetables cannot be eaten, so they can only be dried and stored.

When there are no vegetables in winter, you can take them out and add them.

As soon as Dabao and Xiaobao entered the door, they shouted: "Grandma!"

Old Mrs. Lin looked over following the sound and saw two children, one tall and one short, standing at the door.

Aren't these their two grandsons?

Why is Mrs. Zhong willing to let these two boys come over today?
"Dabao, Xiaobao, why are you here?" Old Mrs. Lin stood up and wiped her hands on the cloth.
