Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 52 Why help?
The predecessor of Yu Li and Han Xiaokang.

We have been classmates since our senior elementary school days.

In this era, elementary school grades 1 to 4 are called "junior elementary schools"; senior elementary schools are grades 5 and 6.

The children in the production team are good enough to finish junior primary school, and only half of the children who can advance to senior primary school are left.

Especially in production teams located in remote areas, very few children would go to the district to finish senior primary school.

And those who can go to junior high school are rare.

Generally speaking, people with a junior high school diploma will have a great advantage in joining the army or recruiting jobs in the district.

And those who can go to high school are already rare.If he could be admitted to a senior vocational school, he would already be a quasi-employee when he was in school.

Those vocational high school students with excellent grades will not only be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, but will also be allocated after graduation.

But in front of Li Li, she and her younger brother Yu Qiang, the two siblings have been insisting on studying even though their family background is extremely poor.

Until Yu Li and Han Xiaokang's original bodies finished high school together.

Wait until she enters the first year of junior high school.

Yu Li's family couldn't take it anymore, so they had to drop out of school and go home to help with the housework.

It is very difficult for the two siblings to go to school.

Yu Li, Yu Qiang and the others always put their shoes in their schoolbags when they go to school in the morning, no matter it is windy or rainy, or the sky is clear.

The two siblings would put their tattered cloth shoes in their schoolbags, and then walk barefoot for about 10 miles to the "Zhenxing Senior Primary School" on the streets of the district to go to school.

Only when they reach the gate of the school will they find a pond to wash their feet.

Then take out the cloth shoes and put them on.

Not only that,

When the two siblings set out to go to school, they never brought food with them.

Her family can't even afford an enamel pot for steaming rice
They would just hold a homemade bamboo tube and look for it on the way to school.

Sometimes, the members of the production team along the way finished digging up the sweet potatoes, and some of them were more or less rotten.

Or the kind of sweet potatoes that didn't grow in the mound, grew crookedly, and were left out.

The two siblings rely on a little sprout from the sweet potato, and dig the soil along the way to find the sweet potato.

If planed to the sweet potato.

When they are at school at noon, they can spend 1 cent to ask the cafeteria to help them cook.

In this way, they even have lunch.

If you're unlucky and don't find rotten sweet potatoes on the way to school.

Yu Li's two siblings would go to school all day hungry.

If they couldn't bear it anymore, they would go to the water tank in the cafeteria to scoop up a bamboo bucket of water, and drink cold water to satisfy their hunger.
But even in such a difficult environment, the two siblings are gritting their teeth and persevering.

More importantly: according to Han Xiaokang's inherited memories, several times, Yu Li even gave half of the sweet potato she had found so hard to give to herself who was full and hungry at the time!

This kind of love is a big debt!
If a person has 1 yuan in his pocket, take out 2 cents to help others.

That is generosity and kindness.

But what if he only had 2 cents of life-saving money in his pocket, but gave it all to others?
This is a kind of boundary.

kind person,

Human rights should be respected and rewarded well. Only in this way will the world become better and better.

That's why I was so reckless just now, intervening in the dispute between Wang Po and Yu Li.

no way.

My original body owes other people's friendship, so I can't say that now that I have changed my appearance, I don't accept the old debt, right?
If you don't see it, then it's fine if you don't meet it. You don't need to deliberately repay the friendship owed in those years.

But since the bullying of Yu Li's family happened right next to him, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

On behalf of Yu Li's two siblings, we temporarily took care of Mrs. Wang's "foreign hot pepper" and the "exotic hot pepper" in the production team.

It was completely dark at this time.

Fortunately, the Jade Rabbit ascended to the east, and the frogs croaked.

Even if you walk in the dark, it doesn't matter much.

So Han Xiaokang planned to walk back to his home at night, and it would take another two hours to get home.

It's just that Yu Li and Yu Qiang refused to obey, and kept Han Xiaokang at home as a guest no matter what she said.

I thought about it.

Han Xiaokang thinks it's okay to stay: if he goes back with so many prey, the caretaker will startle his old mother and worry about gains and losses.

It has been many years for Han Zhang, and he has never seen so much money.

Now if she sees her own son, she will suddenly catch so many poisonous snakes and scorpions.
Custody can scare her off her feet!
Exciting.
But if you put the prey in the cabinet by yourself, don't take it out.

In Han Zhang's heart, maybe he will be disappointed again, and he will be more or less disappointed
——The house at home is about to collapse, don’t worry, can it work?
So Han Zhang must be shocked and sad.

Hey.
Left and right are difficult.

However, if you choose to stay.

So early tomorrow morning,

You can start directly from here and go to the district to sell all the prey for money.

When the time comes, it's time to buy something for my old lady, and the initiative will be completely in my own hands.

Anyway, she couldn't figure out how much money she had. Hehe.

Yu Li's house is not big,
There are only 3 mud houses, and 2 side rooms made of bamboo fences and seed mud.

One of them is a pigsty and toilet, and the other is a kitchen.

Pigs are not allowed in the production team, so now her pigsty is full of firewood and farm tools.

The meal at night is mixed with 6 points of corn grits mixed with 3 points of rice, and 1 portion of mixed rice made of sweet potato powder.

The taste is very bad, it smells like rotten sweet potato.This kind of food not only fills the mouth, but also hurts the throat.

The dishes are boiled "Potherb mustard", which is called "Tianxiong" in Bashu, and boiled pumpkin vine tender tips.

There was not a single drop of fat in these two bowls of dishes.

In addition, I also steamed a small bowl of "bean paste" brewed by Yu Li's family.

This kind of bean paste is not the red oil bean paste that is common in later generations.

Instead, dry broad beans are fermented and moldy, then a large amount of salt is added, and then put into jars for retting.

In this homemade bean paste, there is a lot of black soup, which is equivalent to soy sauce.

And the broad bean flap inside, which can be used to add some lard, steamed into a dish to eat, it's a pity that Yu Li's family doesn't have lard.

Pure steamed watercress,
There is no other feeling in the mouth except for the word "salty".

Probably because she was a guest, Yu Li deliberately cracked 2 eggs, mixed them with rice soup and steamed them.

Yu Li was still taking half of the steamed eggs to the back room for her paralyzed old mother to eat.

Yu Li's mother is actually only in her 40s this year. She has lost all her teeth and cannot eat hard food.
There is no lard on the half bowl of steamed eggs, let alone sesame oil.

Just the most precious half bowl of steamed eggs.

When it was on the table, it was placed directly in front of Han Xiaokang: "Student Xiaokang, I'm really sorry, this is the condition of my family. I hope you don't dislike it."

Holding a thick bowl, Yu Li smiled at Han Xiaokang in the dim kerosene lamp: "Next time you pass by our house, I hope you can come in and drink a bowl of water.

If you are hungry, then you can eat whatever you want. You know the conditions of my family. I really can’t stand in front of you, right? "

Han Xiaokang nodded,

He casually picked up the little girl named Xiaocao that Yu Li's family picked up from the road, and brought her rice bowl.

With a backhand push, Xiaocao's rice was poured into the half bowl of steamed eggs.

This little girl, from the moment she came to the table,
A pair of pure big eyes have been staring at the half bowl of steamed eggs.

It's just because of family education, Xiaocao didn't dare to say anything.

Children from poor families, sometimes they are sensible and make people feel distressed
