Finally, Erya said, "Mom, let's go home."

Yuanshi's expression froze, wondering, "Your grandparents are hoping that Lao Xu's family will send a man to get back the few taels of silver that your grandma took back, and then let me go home. Now it's just you two."

I'm afraid we won't be able to go back if we don't have the money to pay back..."

As soon as Erya heard this, sparks popped up again.

"Grandpa, grandma, when you brought the message, you didn't say you wanted any money. You only said you were here to pick me up. Why did you ask for money again when you came to pick me up? My grandma said that you don't have any money to ask for. I

Dad is still lying on the bed waiting for money to save his life! My mother is not a hostage, are you still holding her captive?"

The old leader looked like he was getting angry again.

Yuan Chunhua covered Erya's mouth, "Stop talking, Erya, the more you talk about it, the worse your grandfather's mood becomes. Let's just stay at Lao Yuan's house for a few more days and help them with their work and serve them.

After a few days, your grandparents will treat it as repaying the debt. After a few days, your grandparents will have nothing to eat, so they will naturally let us go home."

Sanya is a person who obeys what she is told. She will do whatever Yuanshi says.

Sanya quickly said, "I listen to my mother! I can do any kind of work, I can do any kind of work..."

Erya always felt that this matter was not that simple, but Yuanshi was her mother, so she didn't have too much doubt about Yuanshi.

Just stay for a few days, and do the work as long as you want. There has never been any work that kills people. Just work hard and endure it and you will be over.

In the evening, she and Yuanshi, as well as their second aunt Yuan Xiahua, crowded into a small side room. There was draft on all sides, and mosquitoes, snakes and ants were likely to visit.

There wasn't even a kang in the house, so it was laid with straw directly on the ground, which was damp.

This is actually a place built casually to store debris.

To be honest, it's just like the new pigsty built by Old Xu's family. It can't accommodate anyone on this rainy day.

It was completely incomparable to the spacious house and big kang they had in Lao Xu's house.

Erya and Sanya were considered to be able-bodied people in Lao Xu's family, so living in such an environment was a bit difficult.

One night, my hands and face were covered with mosquito bites.

On the second day, Lao Yuan's family had dinner, and all the men in Lao Yuan's family ate dry porridge, which they could eat next to the dining table.

The only women who can serve at the dinner table are Mrs. Yuan, her two aunts, and Yuan Chunhua.

Other women from the old Yuan family, such as the cousins, Yuan Xiahua, Erya and Sanya, were not even qualified to serve, so they ate in the kitchen.

There was an earthen bowl in front of each person. There was only a little bit of wild vegetable paste in the bowl, and it was almost entirely water. It took a long time to scoop out a grain of rice.

Can this feed people?!

They used to come to Lao Yuan's house and seldom ate at Lao Yuan's house. They always came and left on the same day. If they wanted to eat, Yuan Chunhua brought food from Lao Xu's house.

It's not like now, just a bowl of vegetable porridge and water.

Erya held the bowl and looked around unaccustomedly, but from what he could see, the other members of Lao Yuan's family didn't seem to have any unnecessary thoughts.

The cousins, in particular, drank vegetable porridge and water silently, as if they were used to it.

Erya couldn't drink anymore. A little cousin on the side saw this and asked in a low voice, "Erya, why don't you eat? Eat quickly! Do you dislike the taste?"

"How can I be full after eating just a bowl of vegetable porridge and water?" Erya asked in return.

"Erya, your old Xu family, do you really give the girls big buns for every meal?" the little cousin asked curiously.

"There are no girls or boys in our family. Adults have two big steamed buns, and minors have one big steamed bun. We also have dry porridge like the one you serve out. Once you have a bowl, you can have more. It's not rationed.

There are also stir-fried vegetables and pickles mixed with soybean oil, so we can all eat them..."

Following Erya's words, the little cousin's saliva flowed from her mouth to her sleeves without even realizing it.

That expression of envy!

Sanya also expressed dissatisfaction with the food at Lao Yuan's house, and Gu Nang said, "Our old lady also buys meat for us every now and then. The big meat buns are just the kind that make us full. This is what you usually eat."

? Is this enough to eat?"

Now, more than one of the little cousins ​​was drooling. Even Yuan Xiahua, a middle-aged woman who was listening to the girls, was drooling with greed.

Yuan Xiahua now has no money and dare not return to her husband's house. She is not well-liked in Lao Yuan's house. When she first returned home, she could still eat at the table. Now she is driven to the kitchen with the girls.

I spent my days drinking vegetables, porridge and water.

Among the grandchildren of Lao Yuan's family, there are four girls who don't have names, so they are called Yuan Danniu, Yuan Erniu, Yuan Sanniu, and Yuan Siniu. They are called Yuan Danniu by their nicknames.

Erya and the others are nicknames, and they all have famous names. They belong to the Xu family and are listed in the family tree.

Ever since the Xu family's uncle was admitted as a scholar, he has started to pay attention to the naming of his descendants, and listed their seniority. Otherwise, for a mud-legged country boy, there would be no such thing as seniority in the name.

Therefore, the names of Erya and the others are naturally different from those of the eldest, second, third and fourth girls of the Yuan family.

After hearing Sanya's words, Yuan Erniu's eyes showed great longing, "I have never eaten big meat buns in my life. I don't know what they taste like? Is it very fragrant? I can swallow it all on my tongue after eating it.

Is it delicious when you go in?"

Yuan Sanniu also said, "If you ask me to eat a meat bun or let me die, I will do it."

…

Erya and Sanya understood their mood very well. They rarely ate meat buns before.

If the old lady hadn’t bought it for them, who would have had the chance to eat it?

Even Lao Xu’s family can’t eat meat buns. How can a family like Lao Yuan’s family be able to eat them?

Yuan Siniu, the youngest, only about five or six years old, said, "I want to eat dumplings! Last time, your second brother brought a big bowl of dumplings to grandma. When I, uncle, and dad were eating, I

Just smelling it next to me is so delicious that I dream about eating dumplings at night! Sister Erya, Sister Sanya, do you still eat dumplings at home? Which one is better, dumplings or meat buns?"

Erya thought about it carefully and said, "They are all delicious! When our family made loquat paste, we ate dumplings for a day and meat buns for a day. I thought they were delicious, as well as the tofu meatballs that my aunt asked me to make.

It’s also super delicious, and the potato tamales are also delicious…”

The more Erya talked, the more she missed her.

The four girls of the Yuan family just drooled down like a waterfall.

Yuan Da Niu didn't believe it at all, "Erya, you are bragging. How can anyone eat meat every day? You said you have eaten meat. I believe that you can eat a meal with meat all year round. I believe it. Who told you, Mr. Xu?"
