A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 20 [020] Love each other

The water they drink is well water, which is a pressurized well built by the uncle for the two families with his frugal allowance.

The two of them share a courtyard wall, and there is a door on the wall, which only opens when the water is pressed in the morning, and the well is at my uncle's house.

The ground water in this era is still very pure, and it tastes very sweet, but the prerequisite is boiling hot water.

Everyone in the Zhuo family is used to drinking cold water from the water tank, only Zhuo Lin is used to drinking hot water, and she also asked for it to be cold, so Aniang will prepare a pot for her and the younger brother, and pour it into a bowl to cool when drinking.

Although the current groundwater is not polluted, people in Huaguo drink boiled water because too many people got sick from drinking unboiled water in the five and six years, so there are similar advocacy, and then it continues, and Xinshi produces Maojian, which is well-known Chinese and foreign, so boiling water is indispensable in their daily life, but it has not yet developed.

My father's dinner was bean cakes with wild vegetables, and he ate enough water to make do with it. Because food was scarce, my father even licked the bowl clean. Not only him, but also my mother and brothers all did this, and even the youngest Zhuojian would sometimes Holding the small wooden bowl and licking it back and forth, she was the only one who couldn't get it out of her mouth. In the end, it was her brother who added it for her.

You can call her hypocritical, and it all depends on the memories of the past. Even if she is so hungry, she is too embarrassed to make such a move. Fortunately, she usually eats clear soup with little water, and it is rare for her to lick the bowl. Less, because the soup is not thick enough, even if you want to add it, you have to lick it.

As soon as my mother cleaned up, my aunt shouted in the yard: "Juan'er, it's getting late today, you guys go to bed early, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

My mother's name is Wang Juan, and my aunt's name is Chen Qiuxia, but she is a round older than A Niang, so she has a lot of weight in the two families, and everyone respects her. After all, this family can also be regarded as Chen Qiuxia's lifelong support as the elder sister-in-law. up.

It was getting late now, and I couldn't see anything, and naturally I couldn't see the things in the basket clearly. Mother and father carried the bamboo baskets into the main room.

He started to boil hot water for the whole family, and then went to bed after washing. Although there was no clock at home, Zhuo Lin guessed that the family probably went to bed at seven or eight o'clock.

In later generations, she didn't go to bed until eleven or twelve o'clock, but in this era, when it gets dark, you can't see anything, and there are no entertainment activities. Besides, people are hungry, and no one thinks about other things. Forget about being hungry.

Several elder brothers sleep in the same room, she and Zhuo Jian sleep with their parents, we haven't seen each other for a few days, the father seems to be very clingy to the mother, well, she tries to be deaf as much as possible...

As soon as it was dawn, there was a drizzle in the sky. Perhaps it was because of the sound of the rain that it was easier to fall asleep, and everyone woke up a little late.

After washing, my mother boiled bean cakes as usual, but it was very thin, but it was the cabbage and wild vegetables she brought back yesterday, mixed into the soup, and it looked a little bit thick. Mother left the thick ones to my father, Zhuo Jian and her. On the contrary, the fourth brother and the fifth brother didn't get much bean dregs, and there were more dishes, which looked a bit shabby, but the two brothers were very sensible, and no one said anything, just drank it.

Zhuo Dajun was heartbroken when he saw the yellow and emaciated faces of the whole family. He wanted to give the two elders some of the food in his bowl, but his mother stopped him.

"You are the pillar of our family, you can't have any accidents, I'm not hungry, come, Ah Yuan, Ah Ran, mother will order some food for you."

In fact, there were only vegetables in her bowl and no bean dregs. Looking at this scene, Zhuo Lin felt very sour in her heart, because she had never experienced such kind of human feelings in her previous life. So cherish food.
