Hard times have room

Chapter 89 Mrs. Li's Regret

Listening to the quarrel, roaring, and clapping of the table from the main room, until finally calmed down, a series of tears slipped quietly from the corner of Mrs. Li's eyes, and she regretted it.

She regretted that she had quarreled with her sister-in-law and her mother-in-law. When she arrived in Jiangning County, Hunan Province, and found that there was almost no famine and turmoil, she brought her family down on purpose, separated from the villagers, and took a different path.

She thought that their family would settle down soon, and then she would be the master of the house, and she would live a prosperous life without being disliked by her mother-in-law and listening to the ugly gossip of those old ladies in the same village.

Later, her husband died on the road. The day after he was separated from the army, he fell ill. After that, he had a fever and cough in the rented grass hut. She was reluctant to take him to the hospital at that time, because the hospital entered the hospital. , all the savings they have accumulated over the years have been used up, and this may not be enough, so how can poor people like them enter the hospital.

I found a Jianghu Langzhong and prescribed antipyretics, but it didn't get better for two days. On the third day, I started coughing up blood. When she took her son to the hospital, they refused to accept it. breathed out.

It was really cold that night, she cried and regretted heartbreakingly, but the man never woke up and said to her, "Don't cry, I'm fine", the one who loves her and loves her is good for sheltering her from the wind and rain. Man is dead.

Knowing that he would be so serious, she would send him to the hospital if she said anything, and she would go bankrupt, but it was too late.

Two days later, a coffin sent him away. She had forced herself to think about other things, her son, and the future. In short, she never thought of him again.

Only in the dead of night, I occasionally opened my eyes and looked at the top of the bed, and it was all night.

A few years ago, my grandson was born. After he was one year old, she carried him to her house. At that time, she felt much better, and she could sleep well at night with her grandson. She thought that she passed down the incense of the Li family. , take good care of him, and when she goes later, she also has an explanation for him.

Now, she and her son, orphans, widows, and mothers are bullied everywhere in Shanghe Village. When she thinks of this, she feels very distressed.

That is her precious son who has been in pain since childhood. When she thought of the scene she saw in the morning, her son was beaten to the ground by the Wang family's father and son, and she was heartbroken.

It has been more than ten years, and she only now realizes that the household registration has been lost, but this person has not yet merged in. The surnamed Wang and Xu in this village have not paid attention to their foreign surnames at all. !

It's all like this, how dare she say how Wang Cuihua beat her, one is that she can't open her mouth, the other is that she is afraid that her son will be stimulated, and she will fight with others.

She had found out that the people in this place are very savage, otherwise, how could the old ladies in this village be so fierce? She did not expect that Wang Cuihua's slut fight was so cunning, and she suffered a big loss, as well as suffering words.

She, Li Chunhua, remembered this matter. In her lifetime, she would never let Wang Cuihua go, but now the Li family must admit and eat this dumb.

And Xu Xiuying, the poisonous woman, even dared to scold her son like that. She thought she was a funny widow with broken shoes. She didn't know how wronged her son was when she married her, but now she dares to show her face here and wait for her body Well, this matter is over, let's see how she handles her.

Mrs. Li turned her body around, and the pain was so bad that she couldn't help but hate Wang Cuihua even more. She had never suffered such a big loss before.

Over there, things have come to an end, and it is basically over.

Here, Pauline woke up to find that her parents had already gone to work, and she was now alone at home.

After washing his face and sobering up completely, he locked the door of the house and went to the small bamboo forest with the back basket on his back. As expected, because it hasn't rained for a long time, the small bamboo shoots here have not grown any more, and the ones that have grown before are old Now, she's almost as tall as her, so she definitely can't eat it.

Shaking her head, she went straight to the right, and went to the back mountain. There are many wild vegetables there. She can get some more when she has time today. When the time comes, wash and dry the wild vegetables. Pickle the wild vegetables with salt, and then put them in a jar and seal them for twenty times. You will be able to eat sauerkraut tomorrow.

Today, she bought six catties and four taels of soybeans. She plans to make the soybeans into moldy beans during the next holiday. In this way, when her parents are too busy to cook, they can directly bring some sauerkraut and moldy beans to accompany them. It's good to eat.

There are not many jars at home, just two, which is still too few. Another day, her dad will have to buy a few from someone. When the peppers are mature, soak a jar of pickled peppers, a jar of chopped peppers, and a year's seasoning will be enough. There is.

When winter comes, we still have to pickle pickled cabbage and bamboo shoots at home. In short, to live at home, this jar of vegetables is indispensable.

After three hours, I dug up a basket of wild vegetables and saw that the sun was not so strong, so I went home immediately, scooped up water, cleaned the wild vegetables, used a dustpan, dried them in front of the house, and used them at night. Salt to pickle.

Afterwards, I took the bones that had been soaked in cold water for a long time out of the water basin, put the iron pot, filled with hot water, covered it, and started to simmer. First, the fire was high. After the water boiled, turn to low heat. During the period, shoot I took two pieces of old ginger and went in.

After soaking the three handfuls of beans in the big bowl and draining the water, the beans that have become white and plump look a lot more than before.

After simmering for half an hour, her parents came back, took a sip of water, rested for more than ten minutes, and then carried the bucket non-stop to water the vegetable garden at the back of the house.

When you don't care about crops like crops, they don't care about you. Those people who are lazy and don't fetch water to irrigate their fields will know the difference when they wait for sweet potatoes.

For dinner, the family sat at the table, drinking big bone soup. There were soybeans and wild vegetables in the bowl, and they were nibbling on the big stick bones. Although there was not much meat, there was still a little bit. How could it be wasted.

"This stick bone soup is delicious, but unfortunately there is no meat." Su Hongying reluctantly put down the big bowl in her hand, rubbed her bloated stomach, smacking her lips, and said with a memory on her face.

"Okay, this stick bone is much cheaper than meat, of course there is no meat, let alone, this soup is really delicious, I ate meat for both meals today, I didn't even dare to think about it before! "Wang Jiandang took the stick and gnawed it left and right, reluctant to put it down.

"If you like it, I'll go to the supply and marketing agency another day to see if I can buy some spare ribs or go back into the water to improve the family." Paulin said with a smile while holding the soup bowl.

"Okay, if there are bones that don't want tickets to be sold in the water, you can buy some and bring them back. After ten days and a half months, we are also a little bit dirty. We finally separated, and we have to live the same life as before. , those things are very cheap and don’t cost much.” Hearing what Paulin said, Su Hongying agreed, she is delicious, the old lady used to be the strictest in the control of food at home, and what she lived was called a hardship It's unbearable, now that I live by myself, of course I have to eat better and be kinder to myself.
