Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 17 Entering the Mountains to Pick Wild Chrysanthemums (1)
"Well, have you eaten yet?"

Mo Qingqiang signaled Qingli to follow behind Mo Zishan and put the things in the kitchen. While the two were chatting, Qingli took a closer look at the house. It was really dilapidated. The courtyard was surrounded by a fence. There is a small door nailed with wooden boards, which is probably able to stop chickens and ducks, and adult men can walk through it with one leg. The front yard is not big, and the kitchen is also a shed. The house also has three mud blocks covered with thick The thatch, but the house seems to be collapsing, looking crumbling, and there are many mottled and cracked cracks on the mud.

"Second sister, I haven't thanked you yet, how can I have the nerve to take things from your house."

Mo Zishan lowered his head, didn't take the things from Qing Qiang's hand, and seemed a bit at a loss.

"Oh, take it. What is yours and mine? We are all relatives. You call me the second sister, so don't talk nonsense!"

Mo Qingqiang was so refreshing, she pushed the basket directly into Mo Zishan's arms, and then said, "Make room for us, by the way, this is a big bone, you cook soup for auntie, boil it for a while, drink it It’s a good way to replenish your body."

"Well, the staff in the medical center also said that big bones are for mending." Mo Qingli also nodded in agreement, pointing to the egg basket, "These are the eggs that mother asked us to bring over, let's boil them for auntie."

"I……"

Mo Zishan suppressed the soreness in his heart, and he was a little speechless. Before he knew that his mother needed to mend his body, he also went to his aunt and aunt's house, but without exception, he was kicked out because he had borrowed a hundred or two hundred. Wen, his father hasn't returned it yet. During the busy season, he and his mother rushed to the field for two days before taking back the grain. Before they had time to thresh, they were directly taken away by the so-called relatives, saying that they used grain to pay off the debt. , the family only has two acres of Susukida, and there is not much food in fact, but her mother won't let her tell dad, saying that he has worked hard enough outside alone, and that she is the drag on the family.Every time he heard this, he secretly shed tears behind his mother's back, but he was also a little man, he couldn't cry, he had to support the family, no, he practiced carving behind his back, and there were many trees in the mountains, so he couldn't cry. What's the cost, make some chickens and ducks and polish them smoother, maybe they can be sold in the market, and if they can be exchanged for a few copper coins, mother can eat a few more eggs.

He doesn't blame his relatives for their estrangement, but he wants to stand out and make them regret their indifference.

"Okay, take us to see Aunt Six."

Mo Qingqiang also felt uncomfortable seeing Mo Zishan like this. Although this younger brother is an only child, he is not taken seriously. He has a frail mother who has to do a lot of work since he was a child. He is quiet and shy. Well, she knew that such a person had a strong self-esteem, and she didn't want her family to just give such an idea to be regarded as a favor.

"That's right, brother Shanzi. Mother said that when I fell into a coma, my sixth aunt also went to see me and brought brown sugar. She also asked me to come and see my aunt. What kind of courtesy is that?"

Mo Qingli and her second sister thought of one thing. At the age of seven, she pretends to be tender, and she is really childish. Sometimes she wonders if her IQ has decreased after time travel. Now she enjoys her father, mother, brother and sister very much. Their love, a little addicted to it.

"Girl Li, it seems that you and mother have also learned idioms. When Dad comes back, you should also learn to read well."

The second sister Qing Qiang agreed, and even patted Qing Li's head.Alas, that's the bad thing about being a baby. Everyone from my own parents to my brothers and sisters like to rub her yellow hair. It was dry and dry due to lack of nutrition, but now it's even more messy. If she is an ugly girl, she will still be seen as sloppy, so she will not be able to turn around in this life, but she still dares to be angry and dare not speak out, and she will be ruthlessly suppressed by her second sister if she says it, and it may even get worse.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the light in the room was very dark. A scrawny-looking woman with a scorched face was lying on the kang, covered with a quilt full of patches. Although worn out, it looked clean, and there was nothing in the room. , there is a table with peeling paint and missing legs, and a long stool.

"Xiao Shanzi, who's here?"

When the woman heard a voice, she opened her eyes and was about to get up from the kang. Mo Qingqiang hurried forward to help her, "Sixth aunt, I am Qingqiang, this is my fourth sister Qingli, let's come here have a look."

"Girl Qiang, girl Li is my benefactor."

"Sixth Auntie, you're so outrageous. It's right for Li girl to do that. No one in the village will be ignorant of this life-saving money."

When Aunt Mo Liu heard Qing Qiang's words, she just shook her head with a wry smile. Although she was sick all the year round, she was not stupid. Who has no selfish intentions? That's a thousand copper coins. Even she would think of something.

"Xiao Shanzi, pour water quickly." Aunt Mo Liu said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry that there is no tea for guests at home."

"Sixth Aunt, don't talk nonsense, let our mother come over and have a look, and let Brother Shanzi make you a big bone soup, drink it to nourish your body, and your illness will be cured."

Qingli continued to pretend to be a baby, and said comfortingly, she also couldn't see what kind of illness this sixth aunt of the Mo family was suffering from, it was just too much work, her nutrition couldn't keep up, she was so thin, it's no wonder she wasn't dizzy.

"Our Li girl is a good girl, and she will find a good family in the future."

Aunt Mo Liu took Qing Li's hand and muttered, but seeing that she was not in good spirits, the two sisters exchanged glances and did not stay for long. After a few words, they left. Mo Zishan stood at the door and watched the two of them until they left After traveling far, far away, the corners of his clothes disappeared, but he still didn't want to go back. His mother told him to say grace, he remembered.

"Second sister, I'm hungry."

Mo Qingli rubbed her stomach. She only ate one pancake when she came back from the town. After walking so much, she wanted to eat more, but Mrs. Liu didn't bring much. She was afraid that her father and two brothers would not be enough. eat.

"My mother will prepare the dishes when I get home. Today we have dinner at home late, so we have to wait for the big bone soup."

"Yes."

Mo Qingli hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. For the delicious big bone soup, it's okay to wait a while. She thought about washing up and going to bed early after eating, and going to pick wild chrysanthemums on the mountain with her second sister tomorrow morning , the same day after harvesting, send it directly to the town. If you leave it at home overnight, and the wind blows, it will be wilted. I am afraid that the hospital will find fault with it.

When the two sisters returned to their small courtyard, there was already a strong aroma coming from the kitchen. Mo Qingli sniffed it lightly with her nose. Well, it smelled like big bone soup. She couldn't wait to eat it.

Before dawn, Mo Qingqiang lit the oil lamp, got dressed, looked at Qingli who was sleeping on the kang, and couldn't bear to wake her up.This girl drank too much big bone soup yesterday and kept saying it was delicious, but in the end she kept running to the toilet at night, time and time again, so she could sleep more peacefully.
