A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 2 Wild Vegetable Porridge and Fried Wild Vegetables

There is still some distance between the foot of the mountain and the end of the village, and it took half a quarter of an hour to walk there.

The stone pointed to a small field on the side of the foot of the mountain, where there were a lot of wild vegetables.Shitou squatted down and pulled wild vegetables by himself. Mu Wanniang wanted to follow, but she kept looking at the mountain.

It rained last night, and it is also summer now, so there might be mushrooms on the mountain.

"Stone, I'll go into the mountains to have a look."

Hearing this, the stone who was concentrating on pulling wild vegetables raised his eyes and widened his eyes, "The mountains are very dangerous!" Stone, who had heard in the village that there are strange people and monsters in the mountains, grabbed Mu Wanniang's trousers, "Sister, don't go!"

Mu Wanniang glanced at him, then at Sanwa, who was staring at her blankly at this moment, thinking that it was not convenient to go into the mountain now, and it would not be too late to go in alone after dawn.

After she figured it out, she squatted down and pulled wild vegetables.

Shitou saw that she listened to his words and stopped going up the mountain, and felt that she was different from the old sister who beat him whenever he spoke, so he continued: "Sister, the mountain is very dangerous, and you are not allowed to go in from now on." Otherwise From now on, only him and Sanwa will be left.He didn't say this, but Mu Wanniang could hear the sadness in his tone.

Mu Wanniang felt that if she sneaked into the mountain for a while, she might make the child hate herself even more, so she vaccinated him first, "Look there," she pointed to a place at the foot of the mountain, where trees Relatively few, "I will only go there in a while, and I will definitely not go into the mountains. There must be more wild vegetables there, and we will not be so hungry by then."

Shitou, who was still three years old, hesitated for a while when he heard the words, but finally he compromised, but insisted: "Then sister, you have to take me and Sanwa with you." Once you hit the monster, you can beat it away.

Mu Wanniang: "..."

Forget it, let's go back and fill our stomachs first.

The wild vegetables the two of them picked up were neither too much nor too little, and Mu Wanniang was still very worried that she would still not eat after a while.

After returning home, she worked hard to light the fire and put all the remaining layer of rice into the iron pot on the stove, then let the stone sit there and watch the fire, and she went to the backyard to turn around, but She unexpectedly discovered that there was a small vegetable garden there, which should have been left by the people who lived here before. Although there were no vegetables on it, there were ground ears protruding from the corner.

She was overjoyed.

Although she doesn't know much, she still remembers some things after living with her grandmother in the countryside for a few years when she was a child.

Although there are not many ears here, they are also vegetables.

Mu Wanniang tore off all the ground ears in the corner, and went into the kitchen to wash the wild vegetables just now.Shi Shi saw it, wiped the sweat from the fire on his forehead, and asked her, "Sister, what is that slippery thing?"

"It's food!" Mu Wanniang didn't explain too much, letting him continue to look at the fire, "I'll go feed Sanwa with water."

Because she had to eat later, Mu Wanniang didn't dare to feed him too much, so she put Sanba on the bed and asked Shi Shi to watch him so that he wouldn't fall off the bed, while she made porridge with wild vegetables in the kitchen.

There are more wild vegetables than porridge with half water and rice. After the porridge is ready, I dry-fry the remaining wild vegetables and ground fungus.

The family is too poor, there is no oil and no salt, but at least there are not too few dishes in this meal.

The one-year-old Sanwa could only eat some chopped wild vegetable porridge. Mu Wanniang first fed the Sanwa with the only spoon, and then slowly ate the tasteless fried wild vegetables along with the stones. drinking porridge.

The eye sockets of the stone were all red, and Mu Wanniang pretended not to see it. After he ate half of it, he said that he was full and did not want to eat. "Of course, she was lying to him, porridge and vegetables without oil and water, no matter how big the sun is, it will not be bad for a while.

But the three-year-old Shishi still believed it. He came back and continued to drink the remaining porridge, looking aggrieved.

Mu Wanniang thought it was funny.

Shitou drank the porridge for a while, glanced at the silent third baby who was hugged by Mu Wanniang, and asked, "Sister, is the third baby full?"

"I'm full." Naturally, Mu Wanniang knew that she was temporarily full from drinking water, and she would be hungry again after a while.

Stone nodded, and did not speak any more.

With such a little porridge and vegetables, Mu Wanniang was not even half full, let alone less stones than she ate.

She sighed, pulled out the few sweet potatoes that were put in from the firewood that had just been extinguished, and let it cool for a while before eating.

The bowls and plates used for meals have not been oiled and watered, so just rinse them with water and they will be washed.

Shi Shi stayed with Sanwa over there, and Mu Wanniang took this time to look at the things left in the kitchen.

There is only one cooking stove and iron pot, one water tank, two buckets for carrying water, one wooden shelf with a small door, and even three bowls on the stove, three pairs of chopsticks, and spoons One, a rotten shovel and a chipped kitchen knife, as well as the firewood picked up from time to time by the stone piled up in the corner.

Fortunately, it is summer now, so there is no need to worry about being cold to death.

Mu Wanniang sighed deeply, she was so poor!

After sighing, she took the small sweet potatoes that had been cooked in the fire and went to the next door. The stone sat next to Sanwa, and Sanwa grabbed his arm and yelled 'ahhhhhhhhh'.

Mu Wanniang went over to hold Sanwa in her arms, handed a sweet potato to Shishi, and asked him to peel and eat by himself. She slowly scraped and fed Sanwa with a spoon.

Fortunately, the sweet potatoes are enough to fill his stomach. Although there are only a few small sweet potatoes, at least he is not so hungry now.

On the contrary, Sanwa, who had a smaller appetite, also began to doze off after eating a whole small sweet potato.

Mu Wanniang ate the remaining one or two bites, and now that Sanwa is asleep, she has to go up the mountain to have a look.

But to avoid Shitou from following her, she lied to him: "I'll go fetch some pigweed to exchange for some goat milk for Aunt Wang, and you stay at home and take good care of Sanwa."

Sanwa is currently short of nutrition and cannot eat wild vegetables with them.

After getting Shitou's nod, Mu Wanniang prepared to go up the mountain with the bamboo basket placed next to the mud fence.

Thinking of Sanwa, who was not as thin as one year old, and the skinny stone who was about to be thin, she sighed deeply.

It's really not going to work like this, even if she doesn't know anything, she still has to find a way to make money.

It was already Chen time (7:9 am to [-]:[-] am), and everyone in the village had already come out. No one greeted her, and Mu Wanniang pretended not to see her.

Based on her memory, she first went to fetch a basket of pigweed for Aunt Wang.

For this Aunt Wang, she came to help a few times after the original owner was thrown here, but because the original owner was too greedy, she stopped coming, and only occasionally saw stones outside to give him something to eat .

Thinking of this, Mu Wanniang sighed.

Wanting to exchange a basket for a small bowl of goat's milk is naturally not enough, Mu Wanniang supported her precarious body and beat back and forth ten times before finally getting back the small bowl of goat's milk.

Mu Wanniang went back with the bowl of milk, poured it into her own bowl, and then told Shitou who followed her: "I still want to hunt pigweed, you continue to watch Sanwa at home, I will bring wild vegetables back later .”

Shi Shi still wanted to say to go with her, but when he thought of San Wa who was at home alone, he opened his mouth and still didn't speak.

But when he returned to the house, he carefully entered the room with the bed with the bowl of goat milk on the stove, and closed the door hard.
