Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 2

She thought to herself that it might be convenient to take care of her precious grandson before lighting the lamp, so she put the fire stick into the stove pit and burned it, holding the torch to the east room to light the lamp.

The oil lamp is in the small sill on the wall of the kang. The small sill is actually a small hole in the wall. Some people jokingly call it the mother-in-law's eye, which is dedicated to staring at the daughter-in-law who is working in the kitchen.

Xiurong put the fire stick in and lit it with her hand, and then dragged it out to make the room a little brighter.Mrs. Liu hurriedly looked at the little daughter at the head of the kang by the light, and saw that her chin was pointed and there was no flesh, and she looked even thinner in the dark, probably because she was hungry, and she was still smacking her lips lightly in her sleep.

Liu Shi touched her forehead again, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the little girl was no longer hot, and her forehead was cold because of sweating.

Is everything all right?It's incredible, thank goodness.

When her daughter was brought back, she was half dead, and Liu Shi was really terrified.

The mother-in-law would neither ask a doctor to see her, nor would she ask for medicine to be taken, and she had to drive her father to the field as soon as possible so as not to delay his work, saying that a girl's film was nothing to watch.What Mrs. Zhang said at the time was, "Maybe she has a good fate. She will be reborn into a wealthy family, so she doesn't have to work hard in our house and eat chaff and vegetables."

It was the father-in-law Qin Tiezhu who asked Xiurong to boil a big pot of ginger soup, and asked Liu Shi, who was doing embroidery work at home, to keep an eye on the child.

Liu Shi was afraid that her daughter would be in trouble, and she kept guarding her every step, so she didn't even get off the kang for a long time.

A smile floated on Liu's mouth, she lifted the quilt from the bed, and asked her third daughter: "Xiurong, is the porridge ready?"

Lao Qin's family eats rice porridge in the morning and evening, and only eats some thick flour pancakes and rolls to satisfy their hunger at noon. It's not busy farming, so naturally there is nothing to eat.

Xiurong shook her head, curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Mother, it's not like you don't know, my mother let a small fire boil, how dare I burn an extra grass, I don't want to be scolded."

Mrs. Liu was happy because her daughter's fever subsided, she smiled, and said, "Your mother is right, the porridge boiled over a thin fire is delicious."

Xiurong pouted and went outside to sit in front of the stove and continued to burn the fire.

After a while, Xiuqin came out of Mammy Zhang's room and said to Xiurong: "Sister, Mammy said to put a poached egg in the porridge." She reached out and put an egg into the gourd ladle on the bellows.

Xiurong stared at the egg and swallowed hard. How long has it been since she ate an egg?The chickens at home ate all kinds of food, grass seeds and the like that they picked up, but the eggs they laid were all kept by the mother, and they didn't eat any of them.

If the little girl hadn't fallen into the river, she probably wouldn't have had to eat it. The nanny was quite generous this time, and Xiurong responded cheerfully: "Okay."

As he spoke, he added a handful of grass to the stove pit, pushed and pulled the bellows, got up, lifted the pot, and beat the eggs in one go. Seeing that the eldest sister entered the east room and pulled the eggs twice with chopsticks, there were egg whites on the side immediately Freezing, she looked around to see if there was no one, and quickly picked up a piece of egg white and stuffed it into her mouth.

It made her hiss, but she didn't dare to call out. After chewing it twice, she covered the pot and sat down to light the fire.

Hearing the voice, Mrs. Liu glanced into the hole in the wall and sighed. The third girl's gluttonous problem seems to be irreversible. She looked at Xiuqin: "Eldest sister, Yangyang is still sleeping."

Xiuqin hummed: "My grandma is watching." Seeing that the wick was dark, she hurriedly picked it up with a needle, and the light in the room became brighter. She glanced at the little girl on the kang, her cheeks were still a little flushed, " Mother, Yaoyao will be fine."

Liu said with a smile: "Little sister is lucky, she will be fine."

Xiuqin also became happy, she breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest, "Mother, you scared me to death."

The family doesn't have money to see a doctor to prescribe medicine. If it's serious, it will be troublesome.

Listening to her daughter's stomach gurgling, Mrs. Liu estimated the time, and shouted, "Xiurong, serve the poached eggs here."

Xiurong agreed, and hurriedly lifted the pot, scooped up eggs, scooped up a spoonful of porridge with wild vegetables, and then used her sleeve to carry it over.

At this time, the door of the west room opened, and Madam Zhang said with a cold face, "Sannier, bring the poached eggs!"

Xiurong looked at Dongjian and then Zhang, and immediately understood that the eggs were for the little brother, not the little sister, just to put it bluntly, how could the nanny who picked and searched be willing to give the little sister an egg? .

Not to mention falling into the water, even if you die, you won't be able to eat it.

She immediately brought it over, and Mrs. Zhang pulled the bowl away, glared at Xiurong, "It's so big, don't understand." Then he retracted to feed his little grandson.

Xiurong stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, then Liu raised her voice and called her: "Xiurong, where are the eggs?"

Even though Xiurong is only nine years old, she has a quick mind and is the best at observing words and expressions. She can see the ins and outs of the family better than anyone else.She knew that Mother was singing the oboe with herself, and she immediately said wronged: "Mother, the egg is for the younger brother."

Fu Yao woke up hungry, her stomach was rumbling, as if she hadn't eaten for days, but the cold feeling disappeared, replaced by a warm feeling.

Hearing someone talking in her ear, she quickly opened her eyes and asked for something to eat, but unfortunately, because of her illness, her strength was too weak, and no one responded to her.

The light in the room is a little dark, where is this?Unlike a hospital, she squinted her eyes and saw the light source above her head - a small oil lamp in the hole in the wall? !Isn't this the kind you ordered at home when you were a child?It's over, he's still dead.

She tried her best to open her eyes, and saw a little old lady with a bun above her head. She looked strange, and her mouth was opening and closing very vividly.

This is Mammy, she doesn't treat herself well at all, she beats and scolds her every now and then, and hates herself for wasting food.

A thought flashed through my mind, I actually still know the little old lady! ?

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over!
Fu Yao closed her eyes tightly, like five thunderbolts, many pictures flashed in her mind, all of them were people and things inside and outside the house.

"Da Yeniang, you don't do needlework, so why are you still lighting the lamp? Our family has a large population, and I will light the lamp if you light it too. What a waste of oil." Zhang's face was sullen, and her tone was a bit aggressive.

In normal times, this eldest daughter-in-law is the most sensible and capable, she is not lazy in her work, she gives way to food, and knows how to bring back food from her natal family to subsidize her. Mrs. Zhang has always been courteous to her.

I didn't expect her to be so ignorant today. It's not that she doesn't know what's going on at home, and she even feeds eggs to a little girl who can't carry her shoulders or hands, thinking that the family can't finish eating eggs.

What's even more exasperating is that he even dared to tell Sannier to her, thinking she didn't know.

This eldest daughter-in-law looks honest and honest, but she is actually more difficult to get along with than the second and third children. The second child is sloppy, and the third child is narrow-minded, and Mrs. Zhang can see through them all.

The eldest daughter-in-law in front of her looks obedient and obedient, but she is actually full of ideas.

I think back when the second boy and man'er were born, a pair of twins, according to Zhang's idea, it was natural for the boy to eat milk, and the girl would drink some paste. Who knew that the eldest daughter-in-law insisted on disagreeing, because of this Zhang's Not less angry.

There is not enough milk in the first place, and I have to feed the two children, and I am not biased. How can there be such a good thing

Naturally, Mrs. Liu also knew that it wasn't about lighting the lamps. Her mother-in-law was very patriarchal, and the little girl fell into the river in order to save her younger brother. Instead of caring, the mother-in-law blamed the girl for not being optimistic about her younger brother and scaring him. She was disgusted before she woke up. look.

Mrs. Liu was angry in her heart, but it's okay to say other things, work more, eat less, live with a big family, there will be no bumps and bumps, you give me a point, I respect two points, just go on with your life.

But she just can't tolerate others being bad to her child, even if she is extra good to her son, she can't be extra bad to her daughter.

Besides, she didn't want her mother-in-law to be so nice to her son, get used to it, always instigate him to be estranged from his mother, and not allow him to teach him.

Eldest sister Xiuqin couldn't bear it, "Nurse, Yaoyao is still burning, mother has to watch it."

Mrs. Zhang became even more angry, "What is there to look at, what is there to look at, isn't it just such a girl, she can know whether it is hot or not. Is there anyone in the family who is idle and wastes things? Look, your grandpa Uncle, which one didn't come back after it was dark?"

As she spoke, she glared at Yaoyao on the kang, her eyes were like awls, Yaoyao quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, and stretched out her hand to touch the little girl's forehead. It was cool to the touch, and she cried out more and more, "Where is it hot? This is not good. She is fine. She scared Yang Yang so much that she lost her soul. I’ve called it several times and it’s still not clear.”

As he spoke, he gave Liu Shi a dissatisfied look, blaming her for not caring about her son's preference for this little girl.

Originally, some relatives said they wanted the little girl to go, and gave back two stones of food, but the eldest daughter-in-law refused, and gave it to others, and the children went to eat good food, and the family also improved. What's wrong?

Mrs. Liu knew what she meant. It's not that she didn't know what happened to her youngest son, but he was just a little frightened, and he'll be fine after a night of sleep. There's nothing serious about it.

My own child, the palm of the hand and the back of the hand, which one doesn't hurt?Instead, the mother-in-law made herself seem more partial than her, instigating her children to have quarrels with her all day long.

Liu said: "Mother, Yangyang was taken aback, but it's not serious, Yaoyao is almost dead."

Mrs. Zhang snorted, "What's lifeless? This is not a good thing. You are a girl. Everyone is coming back. It's time to eat. Don't waste oil." She turned her head and blew out the lamp, and as soon as Zhang took a step, she hit the door with a "bang", causing her to cry out in pain, "What are you doing, what are you doing!"

Fu Yao pouted, and quickly took her little hand away from the door leaf.

Xiurong's voice sounded in the room, "Nurse, if you don't let the lamp be lit, mother will blow it. Who knew you just turned around and left."

Zhang's forehead was in severe pain, and he felt like he was in a big bag. He didn't want to grind his teeth and quickly closed his eyes and went back to his room.

At this time, it was completely dark outside, and the working family members came back one after another, and the yard became lively.
