70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 111 Sweet Burden

In the end, Xie Xiaonian could only follow the original owner's method, and said to them: "Stand obediently on the side, whoever behaves well will give them delicious food in a short while, and those who behave badly or behave badly will not be left."

In this era of scarcity of supplies, the three words "delicious" are still very tempting to children, so as soon as Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, the children obediently stood aside and looked at Xie Xiaonian eagerly.

This is the result of the original owner's training. When Xie Xiaonian was still living at his uncle's house, every time he went to the mountains to collect herbs, he would bring back some seasonal fruits for them.

Or if there are snacks at home, she is never willing to eat the original owner's portion, and she will put it away first, and when the children are disobedient, she will take it out to coax these children.

So as soon as they heard Xie Xiaonian's words, they knew that as long as they were obedient, there would be delicious food, and each of them would become very obedient.

Zhang Jing, the second cousin who was taking care of the children at home, also heard the voice at this time, and hurried out of the yard. Seeing that Xie Xiaonian was coming, she hurried forward to take Xie Xiaonian's bicycle and said, "Xiao Nian, why are you here? Nothing happened!"

Because Xie Xiaonian hadn't been here in the past few years except for the New Year, the second cousin was very surprised, thinking that something was wrong, but seeing Xie Xiaonian's face, it didn't look like something was wrong, but she still asked worriedly.

After hearing this, Xie Xiaonian said embarrassedly: "Second Cousin, I have nothing to do, I just came to see you, isn't school closed today? Why are Fuling and Guangmu not at home?"

The second cousin felt relieved when she heard Xie Xiaonian said she was fine, and then said: "The two children, Fuling and Guangmu, went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. I thought I would not go to school today after all, and let them have a good rest at home. Unexpectedly, the two children are so sensible, they went to the mountain after eating early in the morning."

When the second cousin spoke, she had a big smile on her face, and she couldn't hide her pride in the children.

While speaking, the two of them had already walked into the yard, while the children followed behind, staring closely at the back basket on Xie Xiaonian's bicycle, waiting for Xie Xiaonian to bring them delicious food.

Xie Xiaonian's heart melted when she saw how cute they were, but after seeing their faces, she felt a little distressed. Although her nephews and nephews in the previous life were not very fat, they all had ruddy, fair faces, The meat is chubby, and it looks like it has been pampered.

And the few children in front of me don't have any baby fat that is unique to children, and their faces are a little yellow, although this is the case in this age, and these children are still good, unlike some children who are like African children. Like refugees, but Xie Xiaonian still feels sorry for them.

Seeing their faces, and comparing her appearance at her uncle's house, Xie Xiaonian felt more and more how much her uncle's family loved her. In a much more difficult time than now, she could still raise herself to be white and fat. It can be seen how hard it is.

At this time, Xie Xiaonian made up her mind, she must take good care of the children, at least they can no longer look like malnourished, and she must restore her uncle's body, at least she can suffer less when she gets old.

Although the children were all looking at Xie Xiaonian eagerly, but because the courtyard wall was relatively short, others could see the scene in the courtyard by stretching their heads, and the gates in rural areas were not closed during the day.

So out of caution, Xie Xiaonian still didn't bring them food, but just motioned for his second cousin to take off the two baskets with him, and brought them into the main room.

As soon as I took the things into the house, I saw the eldest concubine came back in a hurry, and the first sentence when entering the door was to ask if something happened.

Although Xie Xiaonian was speechless, she was still very touched by the eldest concubine's concern, so she explained to the eldest concubine that she was just here to come and see.

After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, Sun Feng was obviously relieved, patted his chest and said, "It's fine, it's fine."

Then the eldest concubine said to Su Mu: "Su Mu, go to the foot of the mountain and talk to your grandfather, Xiao Nian has nothing to do, just come and take a look, so that they don't have to hurry back."

After Xiao Nian heard it, she was even more moved. At the same time, she also felt that the original owner was too inappropriate. She couldn't come twice a year. If she made a trip by herself, everyone in the uncle's family was worried, thinking that something happened to her. Woolen cloth.

Although Su Mu was greedy for delicious food, he had no choice but to go to the foot of the mountain to find his grandfather and the others after hearing grandma's orders. However, he believed that her little aunt would definitely leave a copy for him if there was any delicious food.

The other children were still on the side, standing obediently without saying a word, but Xie Xiaonian saw that the children were staring at the cloth bags one by one, so she smiled and took candy, walnuts, chestnuts and large bags from one of the bags. The small bags of jujube were taken out, and they were going to be shared among several children.

At this time, I heard the eldest sister-in-law say: "Xiao Nian, why did you bring the things here? If your stepmother finds out, your life will be even more difficult. Hurry up and take these things back after eating. Don't be fooled by your stepmother." I found it." While talking, he also stopped Xie Xiaonian from distributing.

Although Sun Feng was not afraid of Wu Lihua, if Xie Xiaonian really brought so many things from home, it would be their fault, after all, food is the most important thing in this day and age.

There is a family in the village, because the daughter-in-law was almost beaten to death by the mother-in-law because she brought food to her natal family.

After Xie Xiaonian heard what the eldest concubine said, she knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly said: "Dear concubine, don't worry, I didn't take anything from home. I picked up these dried fruits on the mountain some time ago, and the candy was also sent by Xu Zhongjun." I bought the money and ticket at the supply and marketing agency the day before yesterday, and it has nothing to do with the family. And the things at home are locked by the stepmother, so I can’t even get them.”

As he spoke, he picked up the bag again, and put a lot of snacks that could be eaten directly into each child's pocket, and let them eat and play.

"How can there be anything on this mountain now? Did you go to the deep mountain?" The eldest sister-in-law hurriedly asked worriedly when she heard that she picked it up on the mountain, and the second cousin was also on the side, with a worried expression on her face.

After hearing this, Xie Xiaonian said quickly: "I didn't go into the deep mountains. You also know that people in our village are afraid of going into the mountains. Usually they only dare to dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountains. And no one picks the things in the mountains, so these things are in the tree. It grows on the tree and is buried under the leaves and no one has touched it. When I was young, I often went up the mountain with my grandfather and cousin, and I was not as afraid as the villagers. I used to go to school and didn’t have time to go to the mountain. It's time, so I went to the mountain to look around, thinking about finding something to eat. I didn't expect to find it. I thought that there must be no snacks at home now, and I made a lot, so I brought them. I this As an aunt, it’s right for them to give some snacks to the little nephew, don’t you think so? And I didn’t go alone, I was with Xu Zhongjun, so don’t worry.”

"It's fine if you went up the mountain with Xu Zhongjun before, but now that Zhongjun is gone, wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to be alone?" Don't say that Xu Zhongjun is fine, but when you talk about Xu Zhongjun, the elder sister-in-law is even more worried.

"It's okay, it's not that you don't know my skills, and I don't go to the deep mountains, I just hunt some prey and gather some herbs on the outskirts. And after Xu Zhongjun returned to the army, I didn't go to the mountains much. The two educated youths in the village who have a good relationship with me went to another small hill together, you, don't worry!" Xie Xiaonian comforted.

"Well then, you have to be careful, and don't trust others too much, do you know everything carefully?" the eldest sister-in-law asked again.

At this moment, she didn't know that the pork that Xu Zhongjun sent last time was not bought, but hunted on the mountain, otherwise she would have stopped Xie Xiaonian even if she said anything.

"Hmm, don't worry! I brought dried pheasants, hares, and fish and loach caught yesterday, and you will prepare something delicious for me in a while. I haven't tasted your handiwork for a long time. , I really panic." Xie Xiaonian said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I will let you eat enough today." When Sun Feng heard that Xie Xiaonian wanted to eat the food she cooked, there was nothing she could not agree to.

Xie Xiaonian persuaded the eldest concubine, just breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard the second cousin say: "Then your stepmother will be willing to bring you these things you got? Don't go back at night and she will ask you again."

"It's okay, these family members don't know. I never took home the food I bought on the mountain. Xu Zhongjun and I found a cave on the mountain. We put all the things in the cave, and all these things yes."

As he said that, Xie Xiaonian took out all the contents from the other bag, and then continued: "I dried these mushrooms and fungus before, and these dried pheasants and hares were also hunted on the mountain before. Xu Zhongjun and I I can’t finish it, and now I’m on my own, and I can’t eat much, so I marinated it and dried it in the cave. I just brought some of it over today, and there are still a lot of cured meat in the cave.”

The eldest sister-in-law and the second cousin were a little surprised when they saw so many things and said: "There are so many things, it would be strange if you didn't go into the deep mountains. How can there be so much game outside the mountains? You are not allowed to go again in the future. If you are hungry Come to the eldest sister-in-law's house when you are done, and you will have a bite to eat at home."

"That's right, Xiao Nian, you can't go to this deep mountain, it's nothing important." The second cousin also echoed after hearing this.

Xie Xiaonian saw the two talking about not letting her go up the mountain again, so she hurriedly said: "I really didn't go to the deep mountains, you have to believe me, I still care about this little life!" The big sister's arm.

Seeing that the eldest concubine no longer objected to her going up the mountain, Xie Xiaonian quickly changed the subject and said, "Eldest concubine, I'm a little hungry, let's go cook!"

"I'm hungry so early. Didn't Wu Lihua give you something to eat this morning? It happens that there is still some breakfast left at home. You fill your stomach first, and I'll cook right away."

When she heard that Xie Xiaonian was hungry, Sun Feng didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly served Xie Xiaonian a meal, while scolding Wu Lihua again in her heart.

"I ate, I just rode here, and now I'm hungry again." Xie Xiaonian quickly explained in fear that the elder sister would be worried.

While eating, Xie Xiaonian thought, there are too many people who care, and it is troublesome, this is really a sweet burden.

But what she doesn't know is that she will have more sweet burdens in the future.
