Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 9 Mother
While talking, he was already outside the gate of his house, Chen Weiguo waved his hand at Sheng Xiping, and walked into his yard first.

Surrounded by his younger siblings, Sheng Xiping entered the west courtyard.

The house of the Sheng family was built by Sheng Liancheng in his spare time when Qianchuan Forest Farm was first established in the past six years or so when he was stationed here.

At that time, the conditions of the forest farm were difficult, so how could there be bricks and tiles?They are all local materials, using the remaining wood during felling, sawing grooves at both ends of the wood, and then building them up layer by layer.

Then wrap the yellow mud with thatch, etc., and stuff it into the cracks of the wood. It is all stuffed firmly, and the yellow mud mixed with grass segments is smeared inside and outside.

The roof is paved with large pieces of linden bark covered with thatch.

The ridge and eaves of the house are pressed with long wooden poles to prevent the thatch from being blown away when the wind blows.

Under the eaves, there are still a few knots of linden bark hung with wires, which are used to connect the water from the eaves, so as to prevent water from dripping everywhere under the eaves when it rains.

The self-built thatched houses are not high, and a big man like Sheng Xiping can reach the grass on the eaves with just one hand.

When you enter the door, you have to be careful, and you will bump your head if you don't pay attention.

At the beginning, Sheng Liancheng only built a one-and-a-half-room house, the half room after entering the door was the kitchen, and people lived in the east room.

Later, there were more children in the family, and Sheng Liancheng took another one on the west side, which was equivalent to two and a half rooms.

The kitchen occupies half of the room in the middle, and the east and west rooms are occupied by people.

People in the Northeast live in kangs. Relatively speaking, due to the sunshine during the day, the southern kangs are warmer than the northern kangs.

Women in the Northeast like to work on the kang in winter, sewing and doing some sewing and so on. The southern kang is well lit.

The Sheng family also had two stores on the southern kang, the east kang was connected to a large pot, and the west kang was connected to a stove.

As soon as he entered, Sheng Xiping saw his mother standing in front of the pot and stove, serving vegetables from the pot.

It's around 06:30, it's not too dark outside, but it's a little dark inside.

Although the forest farm has already been powered on, most people are reluctant to use it. The [-]-degree light bulb hanging on the roof of the Sheng family's kitchen is basically a decoration.

The door of the east room was open, and there was some light from the room, and with the help of the fire in the stove, the women could work very skillfully.

In the dim light, the mother's busy figure is very kind.

After 40 years of separation between mother and child, Sheng Xiping never thought that there would be a day when they would meet again. Sheng Xiping only felt that his eyes were sore and blurred.

"Mom, I'm back."

This is what he has always wanted to tell his mother since he came out in [-]. Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance in his previous life, and it became a lifetime regret.

No matter how rich and successful he was in the end, it was always the deepest pain in his heart that he could not provide for his mother's retirement.

Now, when he comes back, he will definitely be filial to his parents and let his mother live a good life with him.

"It's good when you're back, wash your hands and eat." Zhang Shuzhen turned to look at her eldest son.

The light in the kitchen was not good, and she didn't notice anything unusual about her son.He only smiled at his son, then picked up the vegetable bowl and walked into the house.

"Mom, I'll serve it. This is the pheasant I hunted in the woods this afternoon. Let's pack it up and stew it at night. It's just right for tomorrow morning."

Sheng Xiping hurriedly stepped forward, handed the pheasant in his hand to his mother, and walked towards the east room with the vegetable bowl.

"Hey, this chicken isn't too small. If it just entered winter, it wouldn't weigh four catties, would it?"

Zhang Shuzhen weighed the pheasant and felt that the chicken was not light.

Both pheasants and domestic chickens tend to be thinner during breeding.

At the end of autumn, pheasants will eat a lot to accumulate fat in order to survive the winter smoothly. At that time, the chickens are fatter.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it’s fat or thin, it’s all meat. Most people lack oil and water in their stomachs these days, as long as they have meat, who cares about fat, thin, and tender?
"It's a pity that I can't hold things at this time. If it's cold, it'll be fine, put them outside and freeze them.

One day, if there are visitors at home, take it out to entertain. "

Most people live like this, they keep some delicious food and wait for the holidays or when there are visitors at home.

"Mom, my elder brother said that he wants to stew chicken at night, so you can listen to my elder brother."

Sheng Xitai, who came in behind, immediately pursed his mouth when he heard what his mother said, and discussed with his mother in an aggrieved way.

Hey chicken, chicken stewed with mushrooms is so fresh, I can’t help but drool when I think about it, how can I hold back?

Zhang Shuzhen gave her younger son an angry look, "Eat, eat, you know how to eat. When did our family lack your mouth?

Your brother is working every day, and he also fishes and hunts from time to time to satisfy your gluttony.

Go out and walk around, how many children in the forest farm can compare with our family? "

The Sheng family has four sons and two daughters, and Sheng Xitai is the youngest.

Old pimple, the older brothers and sisters above are spoiled and spoiled, and if there is something delicious, I can't bear to eat it, so I have to give it to my younger brother.

Parents say that a bowl of water is flat, but they will actually favor the youngest one.

Just like Zhang Shuzhen, with all kinds of disgust in her mouth, she can't help but save more of the good ones for her younger son when it's time to eat.

From the perspective of future generations, Sheng Xitai is not fat, he should be considered very healthy and strong.

He was only nine years old, with baby fat on his face, and a fleshy little face.

But in this year, people's food is rough, and there is not much oil and water, and it is really rare to see fat people.

People like Sheng Xitai have become what everyone calls a fat man.

"Mom, don't scold the old lump, he can eat it if he wants. A pheasant is not a big deal, and we will hit him when we meet him later."

As soon as Sheng Xiping put the vegetables on the kang table, he heard his mother scolding his younger brother, so he stuck his head out from the east room and opened his mouth to help his younger brother.

Sheng Xitai jumped up to his brother when he was tall, hugged his brother's waist and began to act like a baby.

"It's still my elder brother who treats me well, and the elder brother loves me the most."

Sheng Xiping raised his hand and wiped his little brother's head, "Well, don't talk sweet things about me here.

I can tell you that if you eat chicken, you have to study hard.

If you continue to be mischievous and don't study hard, let me catch you, and I'll blow your ass open. "

This little guy is quite clever, but he just refuses to study hard.

Later, this kid stopped going to school after finishing junior high school, and was fooling around all day long.

At that time Sheng Xiping hadn't come out yet, and no one could control this kid.

Fortunately, many old people in the field have a good relationship with the Sheng family. The field manager and secretary helped to figure out a way and sent Sheng Xitai to serve in the army.

Sheng Xitai stayed in the army for seven or eight years, and after changing jobs, he arranged to work in the protected area, and the job was pretty good.

"Ah?" Hearing what big brother said, Sheng Xitai immediately lost face and wailed.

"Brother, please forgive me. I'm not a nerd like Second Brother. My brain hurts when I see textbooks."

In fact, Sheng Xiping was just talking to scare his younger brother, but he couldn't show it in front of Sheng Xitai.

So he glanced at his younger brother and snorted coldly.

"You can try it. Anyway, you eat a lot, and the meat is thick, so you can resist beating."
