The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 5 What's Hiding at the Bottom of the Bowl

"Oh oh oh-"

As soon as the rooster in Qingshui Village began to crow, the old lady woke up on time.

As soon as it was dawn, she groped to get up from the bed, dressed quickly, got out of bed, walked to the cracked thin copper mirror, combed her hair meticulously, and poked a wooden hairpin on it. son.

This mirror was bought when she got married with Hai Rui's father, Hai Han. It has been used for decades, and it was accidentally broken last time. Her son Hai Rui is filial and wanted to buy her a new one. She was stunned. If you are willing, you will pick it up and use it.Although it looked awkward, at least I could see the figure, right?

Her husband, Hai Han, died early, but before he died, he was also a scholar. The old lady put all her hopes on her son. She hoped that his son could inherit the fine tradition of the scholar's father, work hard, and honor Hai's family.

The old lady was dazed, then got up, went to the yard, walked to the chicken coop by the stove, squatted down, opened the coop door, skimmed inside skillfully, felt behind the chicken buttocks, When it was stretched out, there was a hot egg.

The chickens screamed "clack" in shock, the old lady drove them out, grabbed the chicken chaff and scattered them on the ground, and the chickens rushed to catch up with each other.Especially the big black hen, Lu Hua, who is very proud and proud, and more importantly, she is also very diligent in laying eggs. She is the old lady's favorite.

"Go." The old lady kicked the rest of the chickens away with the toe of her shoe, and ate all the reed flowers first.With this kick, I found that the top of the shoe was open, exposing the big toe.

The old lady shook her head helplessly, and said, "It's such a good pair of shoes, it's just so broken, it's time to sew them up."

Just about to go to the kitchen, after thinking about it, I wandered to the window of the west room and shouted loudly: "Ru Xian's daughter-in-law! You are still asleep! Get up! Are you lazy and not working! Don't forget you yesterday A promise to me. Hmph."

After hanging her throat, the old lady felt a little better. Holding the egg, she turned around and went into the narrow and dark kitchen, busy with breakfast.

The rooster crowed loudly several times, and then heard the clucking of the chickens in the yard. This special symphony in the ancient countryside made Xiao Xiangcai half awake and half asleep, but he didn't bother to open his eyes. Just then, I heard the old lady's angry roar, which woke her up completely.

Xiao Xiangcai opened her eyes, and at the end of her nose was a musty smell emanating from torn cotton wool, which was very unpleasant.Looking around, I saw my mother was by my side, but her father Hai Rui had long since disappeared.

The bed is not big, it is really difficult to squeeze three people.If three people are sleeping, whoever accidentally stretches or kicks a leg may push the poor little coriander under the bed.

So last night, her father, Hai Rui, didn't sleep on the bed. He took some straw from the kitchen and spread it on the floor, and then took the shabby quilt whose color could not be discerned, spread it on the straw, and fell asleep soon. Sleep soundly.

The lady of the Hai family was very ashamed when her mother-in-law yelled at her. Although she was extremely uncomfortable and weak, she didn't dare to neglect. She got up, put on her clothes, and got out of bed lightly. The movement was very light, for fear of collapsing the bed.The bed is not strong, and you can hear the sound of "creaking" when you turn over. The bed is simply built, and the four corners are tired with uneven bricks, and a broken board is placed on it to finish the job.

A typical shabby project.Sleeping on such a bed, Coriander always felt frightened.

Xiao Xiangcai exclaimed in her heart, turned over, and realized that her stomach was empty, she was a little hungry, and her stomach was convulsed with hunger. This feeling was really uncomfortable, so she opened her voice and howled twice.

"Didn't you startle me? Mother's little cilantro!" Chen patted cilantro's head, and cilantro stopped crying, with teardrops still hanging on her face, she grinned at her endearingly.

"What a well-behaved child." Mrs. Chen picked her up, touched her swollen belly, and said lovingly: "Are you hungry? Come on, take a few mouthfuls of milk, mother has to rush to help you do something." go."

Chen lifted up the hem of her clothes, revealing her dry, shriveled chest. She put her arms around the coriander and coaxed her softly, "Good coriander, suck it hard..."

Coriander is also very hungry, she can't control that much, the baby's instinct makes her suck up hard.

I suck, I suck, I suck... Hey, after working hard for a long time, why is there only a little milk?It's not enough to moisten my throat... Hey... I don't have any nutrition, how can I have milk to feed me?My poor mother, poor me... It's still in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no milk powder, so I'm going to starve to death, woo woo woo...

Coriander stared at her innocent eyes, turned around, raised her tender face, and looked at Mrs. Chen expectantly.Hope she can come up with a reasonable diet plan.There's no way, my father doesn't love me, my grandma doesn't love me, I can only rely on my mother.At present, although this mother is kind, she is too honest and weak.

Mrs. Chen also discovered this serious problem - a serious shortage of milk.She sighed deeply, thinking about what to do in her heart.

After thinking for a while, she picked up the coriander, went out of the house, walked to the kitchen, and when she reached the door, she happened to bump into the old lady.

"Are you willing to come out? It takes a long time to come out, and hatch eggs in it? This village slips from the head to the end of the village. Who's wife is like you? Others marry a daughter-in-law for work, but my Hai family is married. Be a Bodhisattva! Ouch, it’s really hard to ask you to do something!” The old lady pointed at Chen’s nose and scolded repeatedly, “I’ve already made breakfast in half a minute. Xiang knows it's coming out!"

"Mother..." Chen's lips moved, and she could distinguish weakly, "I was breastfeeding coriander in the house just now, and this child is crying from hunger... I have no milk."

"I don't have milk, who is to blame?" The old lady stared, "I only know how to eat, but I don't know what to do! You eat so much food for nothing, and you don't even have any milk! I might as well feed chickens. Know to lay an egg for me!"

Holding the parsley, Chen bowed her head, not daring to say a word, with tears in her red eyes, she just remained silent.

"Pretend it! Who are you going to show this dead face to?" The old lady said with a dark face, "Just watch Ru Xian at home and show it to him?"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and said with a forced smile, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

"Hmph, don't dare... You eat rice from my Hai family and live in my Hai family's house. I forgive you, but you don't dare."

Hai Rui came out of the main room to read a book, stretched his arms and legs, and said after stretching, "Mother—what are you talking about?"

"Ah, my son!" When the old lady saw her son, her face turned cloudy and her wrinkled old face smiled like a wild chrysanthemum, "It's nothing, I'll have breakfast right away, take a rest, and read after breakfast." ..."

Damn old lady, it's really quick to change her face.Coriander cursed in her heart.
