Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 3 Wild vegetable porridge from a poor family
"Doctor Wang, you..." Liu Xu'er was also taken aback.Looking at the red five finger marks on his younger brother's face, he didn't know what to say.

"I'll fight you." Willow roared and was about to rush over.

Liu Xu'er panicked even more, but she still hugged the willow tree tightly.A pair of siblings struggled and twisted in the yard.

Doctor Wang watched the excitement for a while, and neighbors also heard the sound and came to point out.

Dr. Wang was afraid that people would know that he hit Liu Shu, after all Liu Shu was still a child.With a sneer, he went over and snatched the copper plate from Liu Xu'er's hand.

Weighing the fourteen copper coins in his hand, Dr. Wang went out and said loudly in front of his neighbors: "Fourteen coins are fourteen coins. I feel sorry for your poor family. I will find you later. I don’t come here anymore. I don’t have money to see any disease, a silly girl, just die.”

Doctor Wang left, Liu Xu'er looked at her empty hands, and knew that the last fourteen coins of the family were gone.

But Liu Shu glared at his elder sister angrily, went out with the bench in his hand, and threw it in the direction Doctor Wang was leaving.

But the distance is too far, and Dr. Wang can't be hit at all.Willow spat out angrily, "Bah", turned around and went into the room to see his second sister.

Liu Xu'er wiped away her tears, went out to pick up the bench thrown by her brother, looked back at the neighbors who were watching, and went home with her head down.

In the room, Liu Ya was still unconscious.The wound on Liu Wang's forehead had scabbed over, but there was a lot of blood on his face.

Liu Shu stood by the kang and looked at the second sister. With tears in his eyes, he went to soak a cloth towel in the basin, and when he came back, he wiped the dirty mud and blood on Liu Ya's face.

"Shu'er, you go out to chop wood, where's the machete?" Liu Xu'er entered the room and asked.

"Ah? I ran back when I heard that my second sister had an accident. I forgot the hatchet on the mountain." Only then did Liu Shu remember.There is only one hatchet left at home.

If you lose it again, you won’t be able to get firewood or exchange for rice in the future, and the whole family will go hungry.

Thinking of this, Liu Shu stuffed the cloth towel into Liu Xu'er's hand: "Eldest Sister, wipe your face for Second Sister. I'll go find a hatchet."

After speaking, Willow ran out.

Liu Xu'er looked at the cloth towel stained with mud and blood in her hand, and at the unconscious Ya'er on the kang, and sighed.He came over and wiped Ya'er's face, then washed the cloth and hung it to dry.Went to the yard to wash clothes again.

Looking at the clothes in the two large basins, and at her thick red hands, Liu Xuer wiped her tears again.

This is the case at home, my father has been paralyzed for several years, and my mother died last year.However, Ya'er is still a fool, causing trouble every day, which makes people worry.When will this miserable day end?

Liu Ya sleeps so well, she sleeps until her bones are crisp.I used to live the life of a killer, sleeping with my eyes open.Being able to sleep deeply like this now makes her feel comfortable and relaxed from the bottom of her heart.

Suddenly, Liu Ya felt someone push her shoulder, and heard a boy's voice: "Second Sister, can you hear me? Get up and have some porridge."

"Gulu" Liu Ya's stomach answered for her.

Liu Ya opened her eyes, and saw a black and thin boy sitting beside her, with a piece of the porcelain bowl in her hand broken.

However, the fragrance from the porcelain bowl made Liu Ya not care much, she sat up to take the bowl, raised her head and poured the porridge into her mouth.

"Ah puff!" Liu Ya didn't swallow the porridge, but spat it all out.

It is obviously porridge with a rice flavor, but why does it taste astringent in your mouth?And why is that rice so thick?It's just hard to swallow.

"Second Sister, stop making trouble, drink quickly." The boy saw the rice grains spit out by Liu Ya spilled all over his body, he pursed his lips, wishing he could pick up those rice grains and eat them.

"Brown rice? Why are there so many wild vegetables in it?" Liu Ya looked at the few rice grains and a lot of wild vegetable leaves in the bowl, and finally understood why the porridge was astringent.

"The wild vegetables were dug when I went to the mountains to look for hatchets. They were fresh. Hehe." Liu Shu pursed his lips as he spoke, and then his stomach grumbled.

Looking at the greedy expression of the eight or nine-year-old boy in front of her; looking at the dilapidated adobe house and the quilts piled on top of each other, Liu Ya understood her situation.

Traveling through is to have life again, but there is no choice but to have a poor family and some brothers and sisters who have no feelings.

Liu Ya frowned slightly, a little hard to accept the current situation, and the intention to leave had already sprouted in her heart.

She knows that she can live well anywhere, and she doesn't despise this poor family, she's just not used to getting along with people.

What's more, now these people are her relatives in name, and that kind of false pandering made Liu Ya very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Liu Ya didn't speak, Liu Shu thought that the second sister was thinking about something weird again.Hastily said: "Second Sister, you haven't healed yet, so you can't run around. Don't worry about the eggs from the third aunt's house or the watermelon from Grandma's house. When you recover from your injury, I will take you up the mountain to catch birds Let's play."

Liu Shu originally wanted to tell the second sister not to cause trouble.If she gets beaten again, Second Sister will be even more stupid.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't bear to blame the second sister, so he could only change his tone of coaxing.

Liu Ya was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the boy beside her, that clear eyes were full of love for her?
This boy should be the younger brother of that silly girl Ya'er.But as a younger brother, this boy was able to coax his elder sister Ya'er with a doting tone, which warmed Liu Ya's heart slightly.

"Second sister, let's drink the porridge first. Tomorrow I will go up the mountain to look for wild eggs, and bring them back to make up for you and dad. You drink the porridge first, drink the porridge." As he spoke, Liu Shu pushed Liu Ya's hand again, letting She drank the bowl of wild porridge with bitter taste.

Liu Ya's stomach was churning again. Although the porridge was hard to swallow, it was better than being hungry.

Forget it, with her eyes closed and her nose pinched, Liu Ya drank the bitter porridge.

Although this wild vegetable porridge is unpalatable, it is quite comfortable to drink hot.Liu Ya rubbed her belly, handed over the bowl, and said, "One more bowl."

"Second Sister..." Liu Shu looked at the rice grains at the bottom of the bowl with a troubled expression, swallowed, took the bowl and went out.

After a while, Liu Shu came back with a bowl, and the bowl he handed to Liu Ya contained a bowl of clear water.Just at the bottom of the bowl, there are a few grains of rice left over from just now.

"Uh..." Liu Ya looked at the bowl, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Does this kid really think of himself as a fool?Just fool yourself with a bowl of water?

Liu Ya pushed away the bowl in Liu Shu's hand, got up and went to the kitchen without saying much.

There was no fire under the stove in the kitchen, but the pot was still steaming.Liu Ya walked over and opened the pot, but she didn't smell the aroma of rice, but saw a pot of wild vegetable soup that was green and had no trace of oil.

"Ya'er, why are you up?" Liu Xu'er came out of her father's room, and saw Liu Ya lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the pot in a daze.Quickly called Liu Shu and said, "Pull your second sister away, don't throw bugs into the pot again."
