Chapter 36
"Well, I know, mom."
"That's good. You all ate my aunt's dumplings and worked in a good afternoon. You must be worthy of your aunt's wishes."
"Okay, mom."
...
***
Xu Xuehua’s home.
A row of low earth-walled houses are crooked and the straw on the roof becomes sparse after years of wind and rain, and it looks like it may fall down at any time.
It was meal time, and smoke from cooking fires grew in the kitchen.
Xu Xuehua was bent down and threw firewood into the stove. The half steamed bun on the stove was cut into thumb-sized diced pieces, put in a large soil bowl, ready to make steamed bun soup.
This is something that Yuan Shi brought Sanya to their house and apologize.
She glanced at her and swallowed silently, "Mom, do you really want to help Erya Sanya take good care of others?"
Xuehua Niang is a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She is plump and has a white face. She looks gentle and picky. She hums a happy folk song in her mouth, "What is good? What is bad? Just Erya Sanya's little one
He was stingy and timid, and his mother, Lao Yuan's reputation as subsidizing her parents' home that everyone knows about in the ten miles of the country. Whoever deserves them is a good family!"
Xu Xuehua looked at the bowl of steamed buns, "That's right, what good family do they match? No one's turn to have a good family! Mom, can this bunch of steamed buns be divided into half a bowl of steamed buns in a while?"
This is a good thing that Yuan Shi gave her to Xu Xuehua.
God knows how long it has been since she tasted the steamed buns.
Every day, it’s wild vegetable porridge, or the kind of wild vegetable porridge that can’t be more soupy. It has no oil or salt, and it only has the bitter taste of wild vegetables.
Snowflake girl's eyes stood up, "You girl, what are the differences? Your parents, your brothers can't eat enough. Do you really think this half steamed bun is apologized for you? It's her Yuanshi's thought
Please tell me what a good person has brought to Erya and Sanya. You just recite a name. You go to Xu Chengju’s house. Yuan’s apologies to her house but he took the steamed buns?"
When Xu Chengju went to Xu Chengju, he didn't get the steamed buns, but just asked Xu Chengju to slap Sanya and was angry.
Xu Xuehua witnessed these with her own eyes.
"But, mom, it's because of me. I was hit by Sanya's aunt yesterday. I still have a bag on my head. I'm in pain. Mom, I haven't tasted the steamed bun in a long time.
Brothers have a meal of steamed buns every day. My sisters and I drink vegetable porridge every day, and I don’t have the energy to dig vegetables in the mountains.”
"Get out! I know how to eat. The family has lost food these days. Don't you know? Your father went hunting today. If there is a harvest, our family will have some staple food tomorrow. If there is no harvest, the whole family will have to drink it.
Vegetable porridge, you don’t want to drink vegetable porridge, just don’t starve to death. Do you still want to eat steamed buns? Then go to Erya and Sanya’s house to be reincarnated. Their family has the blessing of Xu Jiaojiao.
Even the unworthy stinky girl can eat two steamed buns every day, but unfortunately you don’t have such a good life. You don’t have any traces of damage. This steamed bun soup is your father and your brothers’ extra meals.”
Xu Xuehua was so scolded that she couldn't raise her head.
Around the stove, she was not only staring at the half bowl of steamed buns, but also two sisters, both of whom were pale and thin, and her eyes were like hungry wolves.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a share either.
The water in the pot boiled, and the snow girl put a drop of oil, a little salt in, and a few handfuls of wild vegetables, and finally put the steamed buns in it.
A scent came.
Xu Xuehua swallowed a big saliva secretly.
Anyway, if you don’t have her share, it’s better to let her slap three girls in the face, which will relieve her anger.
As soon as the steamed bun soup was boiled, a few young boys ran in outside the kitchen, all of her brothers.
"Mom, it smells so good! I want to drink a bowl."
"Hey, didn't there be no food stored at home today? Why did you cook steamed bun soup? This steamed bun is different from what we usually eat? It smells so good. What noodles does it contain? It tastes better than ours."
"Mom, give me a bowl! Hurry up!"
...
The brothers didn't care about the scalding, and each person was ate a bowl like a wind and clouds.
Seeing Xu Xuehua and a few sisters droolingly watching, they ignored it and cursed in disgust, "Get out of here, what are you looking at? You don't have a share..."
The last half bowl was left in the pot, and the snow girl protected her, "Don't rob anyone, this is for your father."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
Xuehua Dad is a middle-aged man with dark skin on her, and his name is Xu Dazhuang.
He just returned from selling prey at the market. Today he was lucky and beat a rabbit and sold it.
You can buy some miscellaneous grains and go back, and you can deal with them for several days.
He entered the house and said excitedly, "The opportunity to get rich is here! The opportunity to get rich is here! Hurry up, the woman can make some food and eat it, and the whole family will go into the mountain... Huh? Why are there steamed bun soup?"
"Don't worry! What's the chance to get rich just now? What are you doing when you go into the mountains?" Xuehuaniang served steamed bun soup for him and handed it over.
Xu Dazhuang picked up the topic, "Just pick wild fruits! Isn't there a wild fruit forest in the mountains? Today I saw the old lady of the Xu family selling that kind of wild fruit, five cents per pound! Five cents a pound
!”
The rabbit he finally got was sold for only seven or eight cents.
People just picked two kilograms of wild fruit and sold it for so much money.
Xu Xuehua was confused, "Dad, why did you say that wild fruits are so valuable? I went into the mountains every day, but I didn't see any valuable wild fruits!"
Xu Dazhuang had turned into a batter while drinking steamed bun soup. In the past few days, the food at home was cut off and he had not eaten any staple food. The batter was also rare and delicious.
While drinking, he said, "It's the kind of yellow, small, large pieces, and I picked it back for you when I was a child and ate it. It was very unpalatable, and I didn't even eat pigs..."
After saying this, everyone knows.
"I know the kind that has fine hair on the skin, bitter and astringent, and a large core."
"By the part in the deep mountains, the part where wild boars had been in the past, right? Dad?"
Xu Dazhuang nodded, "Yes, yes!"
"Then why do some people buy it for 5 cents per kilogram?" Xuehuaniang asked a key question.
Xu Dazhuang was stunned, "I don't know! It looks exactly the same, but the taste is different. We used to pick it so bad that we couldn't even eat pigs, but the one sold by the Xu family's aunt, I tried two for free.
It’s sweet and sour, and it tastes good. No matter what, we will hurry into the mountain first. I guess many families are now aware of the news. If we go into the mountain to pick it, we have to hurry up."
Snowflake girl quickly said, "Okay, the boss, the wild vegetable porridge will be ready soon. Each person eats a bowl and then go into the mountain quickly. No matter what it looks like, pick it first, and don't say it sells for five cents per pound, one cent.
