Chapter 758 Old Lady One
When I looked up, I saw several big holes in the roof. The sun shone into the house, and dust was flying all over the sky. Not only that, the house also smelled damp. Looking around, I saw that the house was poor. The only one in front of me was probably the one who was missing his leg.
Table.
Linlang slowly sat up and found that she was lying on a kang, covered with a quilt, but the quilt was already hard and smelly, exuding a disgusting smell.
Raising his hands, they were those of an old man, wrinkled and covered with age spots.
"Grandma, I'm back!" While talking, a dirty boy ran in, holding two sweet potatoes with dirt in his hand, and said as if offering treasures: "Grandma, you don't have to be hungry, the villagers
Sister-in-law Wang gave me two sweet potatoes!"
How poor must this family be to have two sweet potatoes as their treasure?
Linlang smiled and slowly sat up. She felt weak all over. She checked her pulse. She must be hungry, plus tired and anxious... My dear, with this kind of body, he will definitely not survive more than three years.
"Grandma, if you're not feeling well, just sit on the bed. I'll cook the sweet potatoes for you later!" The little boy was skinny, and the only thing that stood out was his bright eyes.
Linlang smiled happily and touched the child's head, "It's okay, grandma will do it for you!"
The kitchen is even more visible, and the bottles and jars have long been bottomed out. It seems that the sweet potatoes are really valuable.
Linlang washed the sweet potatoes, chopped them up and put them in the pot, then boiled them into a sweet potato paste. She also found some amaranth in the corner of the yard and put it in. As for the taste, I can't say much about it, but at least it can be eaten in the stomach.
After finishing the meal, the little boy touched his belly and smiled happily. He had not had a full meal in a long time.
Linlang waited for the child to fall asleep, then closed her eyes and began to absorb the plot.
"I have two sons. At first, I thought the eldest son was the most filial to me, so I gave him all the good things in the family. As for the second son, I didn't take it seriously at all!
Later, the government wanted to serve in the military. It was supposed that the eldest son should do the military service, but he asked me to let the younger son go, and I agreed!
I thought it was just a simple military service, but I didn't expect... my younger son became a secret agent because of this. After my younger daughter-in-law heard about this, she left her grandson and ran away!
As for the eldest son, because he died and he didn’t want to raise these grandchildren, let alone the burden of raising me, he separated the two of us!
I really regret it. I regret why I didn’t see my second son’s heart clearly. Maybe I was in compliance with that sentence. I don’t cherish it when I get it. It’s a pity when I lose it. My only wish now is to raise my little grandson well.
, I am ashamed of my little son’s spirit in heaven!”
After Linlang received the plot, she looked at the child sleeping most soundly next to her, her eyes full of love, but... how to raise a child, the family was extremely poor, and as for the fields at home... the eldest son had long since
I took it away. I promised to provide food every year, but I haven’t seen any at all. Now it’s better. There is a big hole in the roof. Fortunately, it is summer. But in autumn, if there is a lot of rain, the house will become a water curtain hole.
Already.
If winter comes, this home will basically be uninhabitable. It seems that we need to find a way quickly...
The next morning, Linlang cooked some wild vegetables and took her children to the mountain. There were birds singing and flowers fragrant, and there were several hillsides. Generally, people in the village picked wild vegetables on the hillsides, so Linlang went there and only
Old wild vegetables can be found!
Linlang took her children to the depths of the jungle. During the process, she encountered several pheasants, all of which were killed by Linlang with stones. She also picked some bamboo shoots and returned with a full load.
Back home, Linlang neatly plucked the feathers of the pheasant at home. Just when she was about to throw the feathers out, a small stone ran over.
"Grandma, you can't throw away these chicken feathers. Next time Xiao Shaofan comes over, you can exchange these chicken feathers for candy!"
Hearing this, Linlang touched Xiao Shitou's head and collected the chicken feathers.
But we can't just eat chicken. He handed a pheasant to Xiao Shitou, "Take this pheasant and exchange it with Aunt Wang for some salt, and by the way, exchange it for some sweet potatoes!"
If they ask where this pheasant came from, you say you were lucky enough to catch it in the jungle today!"
Little Shitou nodded, took the pheasant and ran quickly to the end of the village.
"Isn't this a small stone? What are you doing here? Is there no food at home? What a sin. How can there be such a partial grandma in the world... It's such a pity for your father..." Aunt Wang shook her head
.
"Grandma is very kind to Xiao Shitou. I am not here to beg Aunt Wang for food this time, but this pheasant!" Xiao Shitou picked up the pheasant. "Grandma said that we would exchange these pheasants for some salt and some
sweet potato!"
"Huh?" Looking at the pheasant, Aunt Wang said suspiciously: "Your family is so poor that they can't even afford food. Where did the pheasant come from?"
"Grandma went into the mountains with me to catch it today!" Xiao Shitou answered truthfully.
When she heard that they were entering the mountain, Aunt Wang shook her head. She didn't have the courage to go into the mountain, so she gave up the idea and took dozens of sweet potatoes from the kitchen and handed them some salt.
"Tell your grandma to be careful and don't risk your life just for some food!" Aunt Wang explained.
I want to know that I took the things and ran home quickly, but I didn't expect to meet someone I didn't want to see on the road.
"Isn't this a small stone? Where did so many things come from? Could it be that they were stolen from other people's homes?
Hahaha, if you don’t have a father, you really have no education. He dares to do all kinds of sneaky things. Please don’t call me aunt in the future. I feel embarrassed..."
Little Shitou had a tigerish face and said angrily: "I didn't steal other people's things. I exchanged them for chickens!"
After saying that, Xiao Shitou ran away quickly. Auntie stood aside, recalling Xiao Shitou's words, "I exchanged it for chickens..." She knew the situation of her mother-in-law's family. They were extremely poor, let alone chickens.
I guess I can’t even get out a grain of rice, so where did this chicken come from?
Linlang stewed a pheasant with some bamboo shoots in it. As for the sweet potatoes, she roasted them on the fire. Since they hadn't eaten for a day, the old man and the young man ate the whole pot of chicken and roasted sweet potatoes.
.
There are still two pheasants and some sweet potatoes left at home. According to the current situation, we definitely can't eat pheasants every day. It seems that we have to find a way to exchange these pheasants for something edible tomorrow.
"mother!"
