Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 9 Meaty
"It's better if it's better. You live in a remote place. There are few people going up the mountain on weekdays, and the villagers hardly pass by your house. If something happens, you have to come here and shout, otherwise the villagers will I don’t know. Your second uncle is also very hard-hearted. If I hadn’t passed with you Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang that day, Wenbo and Wenhao would have been taken away by that man. You passed out, Wenbo and the others I only know how to cry, even if I am a child, it is useless." Li Changming sighed as he spoke.This fatherless and motherless orphan was already pitiful, but having an uncle would be worse than not having one.

"I haven't thanked my uncle for what happened that day!"

"Since you call me uncle, don't say thank you. I have ignored you in the past two years. After your father passed away, your second uncle's family stood up and said that you are too young to farm. , let them give you food and vegetables, and his family will plant that field. I always thought that his family was raising you guys, but I didn’t expect it to be like this, a bastard whose conscience was eaten by dogs .”

In this era, orphans who had no father or mother were generally raised by their uncles. If there were no uncles with direct relatives, they would be raised by the clan.If there are no relatives alive, they will be raised by the village, and everyone will help them, so they can eat a hundred families.Originally, Li Xin's second uncle's family offered to raise a few children, and Li Changming was very happy. He thought that although Li Changgui was a bit of a jerk on weekdays, he was not ambiguous about the things that should be done.The yard of Li Xin's house was a little far away from the village, and he lived directly at the foot of the mountain. In the past, he couldn't get there even if he passed by. He always thought that the children were fine.

It wasn't until what happened a few days ago that he didn't realize that Li Changgui and his wife treated their children so harshly.But if he knew it, he knew it, and he couldn't take it too seriously, so he just reprimanded the couple.The affairs of uncles, nephews and nieces are family affairs after all, and even as the village chief, it is not easy for him to intervene casually.

"I came to find my uncle today. I also wanted to talk about this matter. Although the second uncle planted my field, he didn't give us the food that we should give. Take back the family’s field and plant it. Even if our children can’t grow it, we can still rent it out, and we can get back some grain.”

"That's fine. Originally, I wanted to wait a few years before talking about this matter. After all, your siblings are young, and Wen Bo is only nine years old! You can grow any field anywhere. You see, you must take the field back Or let the village come forward and let your second uncle's family make up for your food? Although your second uncle has no conscience, he is an elder in your family, so it's not easy to tear yourself apart. You are still young, and in the future will you need help from your elders? It's a matter of making up your mind."

"I still want to get the fields back. In fact, even if we just want to get back a little grain, we have already offended them. If this is the case, why should we be patient because we are afraid of offending them. Originally, they should give us grain, but we Every time when we ran out of food, we would say that they were always pushy, and their faces were very ugly. Sometimes they wouldn’t even let us in, and they would only give us two or three times when we asked for it ten times, and only a little bit each time. If it weren't for Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's support in the past two years, our siblings probably wouldn't have survived this time."

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, let them return the fields to you. But you can't just return it now, there is still wheat in the world! After two months, the wheat is harvested, and I will plant it for you next season." Look at what you want to plant. If you want to plant rice, then you have to prepare it when you go back. Don’t have no seedlings to go to the field. Even if you plant it, you will only have food in autumn. I will discuss it with your second uncle. Let’s see, I’ll give you some food and let you eat until autumn.”

"Then thank you uncle."

"What do you say thank you or not? Don't look out like this."

After the matter was settled, Li Xin was ready to leave after sitting and chatting for a while.But the village head suddenly got up and took a basket and filled them with some rice noodles and some fresh vegetables, and finally put a piece of meat in it for them to take back to eat.Li Xin originally wanted to refuse, but the village head put on a straight face and said that if she didn't take it, she would deny him as an uncle, so she had no choice but to accept it.The basket was heavy because it contained a lot of things, so she carried it out with Wen Hao, and the village chief also sent them out for a long way.

"Okay, don't send it off, uncle, we'll go back now." Seeing that we were about to reach the old osmanthus tree, Li Xin told the village chief not to send it off.

"Okay, then you go carefully, don't fall. Come over and shout if you have something to do, and tell me when it's time to plow the field. I have cows at home. I will take the cows and plow for you for a few days. You guys The moving field dug by the small body."

"Understood, go back quickly, uncle! We will definitely talk about something."

The village chief turned back and went home, and Li Xin took Wen Hao home along the way.Carrying a full basket, Li Xin felt warm in his heart.She didn't expect the village head to be such a good person. It must be considered a blessing for the villagers to have such a village head in the village!
"We finally have meat to eat." Wen Hao looked at the meat in the basket, and his saliva was about to flow out.What a big piece of meat!In any case, it should weigh three or four catties.

"Uncle the village head is really kind."

"That's right! The village chief's uncle has always been a good person. My sister was injured, and the village chief's uncle paid for the doctor!"

"That's it!" It seems that the favor owed to the village head is getting bigger and bigger, but there is no way now, who made their family so poor!The poor can't get rid of the blame, and she really has no way to refuse the help of others.This kind of favor can only be repaid slowly after the family's life improves in the future.

Don't think about it for now, if you have too many debts, you don't have to worry about it, and if you have too many lice, you don't itch.Anyway, I have already owed it, and anything else is hypocritical.It's better to enjoy the kindness of others, and it can be regarded as living up to that kindness.

When they got home, Wenbo and the others were very happy to see such a basket of food, and when they saw that piece of meat, their eyes began to light up.No way, who made this family too poor, and the children almost forgot the taste of meat.

At noon, Li Xin cooked a pot of white rice, made a radish soup and fried sliced ​​bamboo shoots. The children ate everything, and Wen Hao even mixed the last bit of juice left in the vegetable bowl. We ate.

"Sister, the meat is really delicious." Yue Ting smiled all over her face.She is the child in the family who has not lived a good life. Her mother died of dystocia when she was born. She didn't even drink a sip of breast milk.After the mother passed away, the family's labor force suddenly decreased, and the family's life became more and more difficult.Later, when my father became ill, life at home became even more difficult, and the only little savings I had was spent.After his father passed away, it became a luxury for the family to even have enough to eat, so there was no meat left.

The life of Aunt Zhang's family is also difficult. It is already trying their best to save some surplus food to help them, and there is no meat to eat.So since childhood, Yueting has never even eaten meat.

"There's still meat! We can eat a few meals if we save some, and life at home will get better and better in the future." Li Xin patted Yue Ting's head.This girl is very thin, and even her hair is yellow and thin because of lack of nutrition supply, she looks very pitiful. (Everyone please support! Welcome to fattening.)
