Reborn 1980's Best Relatives Love Me

Chapter 6 The Poor Family
Yang Cuihua and Xu Niannian were talking in the main room, but their voice didn't know how to restrain themselves.

The main reason is that she is not afraid of being heard by her son.

So Xu Zhicheng, who was helping to chop firewood outside the house, and Xu Zhiqiang, who was busy in the kitchen, heard what he said about his children.

Many Yu also heard it, but he still doesn't know what it means.

Xu Zhiqiang cooked the dishes expressionlessly, letting Duo Yu play while not really asking him to help, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

The little boy has learned to be patient and not to show his emotions or anger.

But Xu Niannian's dreaming lie, because his voice was so low, no one heard it except Yang Cuihua.

After a while, Xu Zhiqiang prepared the food and brought it out.

The so-called rice is all coarse grains that cannot be coarser.

The porridge made from rice bran is mixed with a few green vegetables and boiled. The vegetables are a plate of black pickled vegetables.

No one would eat rice bran even in the remote villages of later generations, it was all fed to pigs.

But this thing is a staple food in the Xu family.

Because the Xu family only had two laborers, Yang Cuihua and Xu Zhiqiang, Xu Dawei was lame, unable to work, always suffering from pain, and there were five more people in the family who had to eat.

The food exchanged for the work points of two people is not enough for the whole family anyway.

That's why Yang Cuihua replaces coarse grains such as sorghum and corn with thicker rice bran when the grain is distributed every year.

Because rice bran is not eaten by many people, one catty of sorghum or corn can be exchanged for five or six catties of rice bran.

However, even though the family was so poor, Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei still allowed Xu Niannian to eat better food every meal.

For example, now, the whole family eats rice bran porridge, only the bowl in front of Xu Niannian is filled with white rice porridge.

In this era, rice is a rare commodity among refined grains. The average rural family can only get 15 to 20 catties a year.

But because it is so rare, the poorer people are reluctant to eat it, and they will exchange it for coarse grains such as sorghum and corn.

So the bowl of thin rice porridge in front of Xu Niannian was really greedy.

Xu Niannian really can't eat rice bran. For a person who is used to eating white rice, eating earth-colored rice bran will definitely not be able to eat it.

But seeing that everyone in the family ate rice bran, and she was the only one drinking white rice porridge, she couldn't swallow it.

She definitely has no feelings for this family now, after all, she is only reborn, and these people are not her real relatives.

But if she really wanted to ignore it, she really couldn't do it.

And she yearns for family affection more than anyone else, since she has this opportunity in front of her, how can she be willing to give it up.

So she will treat this family well.

Make them her real family.

"Niannian, why don't you eat? Do you have no appetite?" Seeing that Xu Niannian didn't move for a long time, Yang Cuihua thought she was unwell.

Xu Niannian said quickly, "Eat, I'll eat right away."

Duo Yu was sitting on her left, at a table with Xu Zhiqiang, staring longingly at the white rice porridge in her bowl.

Looking at his innocent eyes, Xu Niannian's heart softened completely.

"Excessive, do you want to drink my sister's porridge?"

As soon as Xu Niannian asked, Yang Cuihua glared at Duoyu suddenly: "What the hell, you little brat, are you still thinking about my sister's food?"

"Mom!" Xu Niannian shouted at the top of his voice, "I can't eat that much."

Receiving her daughter's gaze, Yang Cuihua endured her dissatisfaction with her youngest son and did not speak again.

In fact, her daughter was a little apprehensive about having that dream. For the sake of her daughter's safety, she said to bear it for now.

Duo Yu was so yelled at by Yang Cuihua that his heart trembled, his small hands hugged Xu Zhiqiang's waist in aggrieved manner, his small mouth was pursed, as if he was about to cry or not.

Xu Zhiqiang put down his chopsticks to coax him: "Be good."

Xu Dawei also disapproved of Xu Niannian distributing the white rice porridge to his son, this is so much fine grain, that Niannian can't even eat enough for himself.

It's just that he always focused on his wife's opinion, seeing that his wife didn't continue to stop his daughter, he didn't say much.

Xu Niannian picked up many extra bowls, poured the rice bran porridge into the pot, he hadn't eaten it yet, and then shared half of the porridge in his own bowl with him.

Xu Zhiqiang gave Xu Niannian a meaningful look, but Xu Niannian pretended not to see it.

If you doubt it, doubt it. She has already said what she should say. It is impossible for her to continue bullying children younger than her like the original owner.

After getting the white rice porridge, Duo Yu drank it in big gulps, gobbling it like he had no time to swallow it.

Seeing Xu Niannian felt sad for a while.

Yang Cuihua curled her lips helplessly, reluctant to part with the fine grain.

Seeing Duo Yu eating so happily, Xu Niannian also had a smile on his face, the pickles on the plate were not so hard to swallow anymore.

She vowed to change the family's living conditions.

It's really too hard.

She doesn't care about others, since rebirth has become a family with them, she can't let her family have such a hard life.

After dinner, the family went back to bed not long after. There was no entertainment in this day and age, and everyone went to bed early.

It was also at this time that Xu Niannian realized that the room she lived in was the largest room in the house.

Yang Cuihua's and Xu Dawei's rooms are not as spacious as hers.

Not to mention the room of Xu Zhiqiang's three brothers.

Moreover, the three brothers still lived in one room with only one bed.

As soon as Xu Niannian sat on the bed, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who is it?"

Xu Niannian looked at the door suspiciously, at this time, who would come to her, could it be Yang Cuihua?

As soon as this idea fell, I heard Xu Zhiqiang's cold voice from outside the door: "It's me!"

Xu Zhiqiang?What did he come to find her for? In my impression, this elder brother never took the initiative to find her unless something happened.

But at this point in time, what can happen.

After entering the room, Xu Niannian bolted the door, and now he has to get up to open the door.

Opening the door, Xu Zhiqiang came in with a basin of water expressionless.

"Sister, wash your feet."

When Xu Zhiqiang came in with a footbath, Xu Niannian remembered it.

The original owner didn't wash her feet outside every night, and asked Xu Zhiqiang to wash her inside every time. She was so lazy.

And because the elder brother was not pleasing to the eye, the original owner always did things to insult Xu Zhiqiang while washing his feet.

For example, rubbing his face with his feet, or throwing water on him, or wiping his body with his feet, using his clothes as a foot cloth.

Xu Niannian was sitting on the bed, thinking of this, the slippers on her feet had been taken off by Xu Zhiqiang, and she was putting her feet into the basin.

Xu Niannian shivered and pushed Xu Zhiqiang away: "No need, I will do it myself."

Xu Zhiqiang didn't expect that she would push him, so he was unprepared, and was pushed to the ground and sat on the ground.
