Chapter 62 Sweet Burden

The old lady understood Wang Xiaohong's thoughts, so she purposely spoke more emphatically.

Only in this way can Wang Xiaohong let go of the uneasiness in her heart.

"Ma'am, I—" Wang Xiaohong hadn't spoken yet, tears began to fall.

"Don't cry at the dinner table, I don't like to watch it! You three don't learn from your mother, remember, when people are in trouble, don't complain about it for a while, grit your teeth and pass, life will always get better! Life When you are good, remember to help others when you are able.”

As the old lady said, she picked up the pot stickers, distributed one to each of the three children, and finally handed them to Wang Xiaohong, "You are a mother, don't lose the chain."

Wang Xiaohong lowered her head and ate the potstickers with tears in her eyes.

Tian Chengcheng pushed the porridge to them again, "Wild vegetable porridge, this is the wild vegetable I dug up the mountain, you should drink more."

The pot stickers were all eaten. This time, the mother and daughter drank the porridge silently without saying anything.

Eight people crowded into the small room, but there was no sound at all, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Seeing that they didn't eat vegetables, Tian Chengcheng simply gave them all the meat and vegetables, "Hurry up and eat this food, you can't leave this food overnight, it will cause diarrhea the next day."

Thanks to her tireless efforts, the plate was empty.

For the first time in their lives, the four mothers not only had enough to eat, but also ate meat and flour.

"Mother, it's delicious." Brother Lai rubbed his belly, although he was full, he still had something to say, "Is it because we work hard so that we can have enough food every day in the future?"

She was talking about a full meal, not such a good meal.

Children from poor families are headed home early, and eight-year-old children already know many things.

Wang Xiaohong didn't know the answer either. Over the years, she worked as an ox and a horse in Tian's house, but she never had enough to eat.

But looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, as long as we work hard, we will be full."

After saying this, Wang Xiaohong suddenly felt that she had come alive.

"Clean up after eating and go to bed early," said the old lady.

She knew that if she didn't let them do something, her mother would definitely not sleep well for four nights.

Add four more people and bedding is again a problem.

"Hengyuan, send the quilts to that house, and say that there are only two extra old quilts, and let them make do with it."

"Oh." Tian Hengyuan left holding the quilt.

In this way, there were only two mattresses left for the four of the old lady's side. Fortunately, Tian Hengyuan had burned a lot of fires, and it was hard to lie directly on the kang, but it was warm enough to get over it.

Fu Xinhan silently glanced at Tian Chengcheng, took off his coat and spread it on the kang, "Fu Bao, you spread my clothes."

"No, I'm not that squeamish." Tian Chengcheng boasted, raised her hand and threw his clothes aside.

After lying down for a while, however, she began to regret it.

She was used to sleeping on soft beds, but she felt pain in her bones when she slept on the hard kang.

Woohoo, this small body must be too thin, so the bone hurts.

"Fubao, what's the matter?" The old lady felt that she was not feeling well, and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay." Tian Chengcheng burst into tears.

Although she tried her best to make her voice sound normal, the old lady still noticed it, and couldn't help smiling, and took her little padded jacket and Fu Xinhan's little padded jacket and spread them under her, "Our Fubao is a little princess, we can't Sleep on a hard bed, go to the city tomorrow, bring some of those cloths when you come back, Hengyuan, go buy ten catties of new cotton, you can't wrong Fubao."

"Yes." Tian Hengyuan immediately agreed.

Tian Chengcheng lay on the clothes, and finally felt a little more comfortable. Just about to fall asleep, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.

I was shocked.

"What are you doing looking at me in the middle of the night? You want to scare me to death!"

"If you're not used to sleeping on a hard bed, don't be aggressive." After Fu Xinhan finished speaking, he turned his back to her and shrugged his shoulders.

Obviously holding back a laugh.

Tian Chengcheng, "..." felt insulted.

Bear boy, wait!

Early the next morning, when Tian Hengyuan got up to cook, Wang Xiaohong, mother and daughter had already got up, quietly boiled the water, and the eldest and the second went to dig some wild vegetables nearby.

"Sister-in-law, why is it so early?"

"Did it bother you?" Wang Xiaohong said shyly.

"No, I'm also up at this point."

"I dug some wild vegetables and washed them. I don't know what you have for breakfast." Wang Xiaohong took the children to tidy up.

After all, it is someone else's house, and there is nothing to eat.

"I'll do the cooking, you guys rest." Tian Hengyuan took over, dug out half a spoonful of flour, and then another half spoonful, "I also make lump soup, my mother and Fubao like to eat something soft, which is easy to digest .”

Wang Xiaohong noticed Tian Hengyuan's movements.

They usually only eat half a spoonful, and with the four of their mothers, they added another half spoonful.

Tian Hengyuan also boiled eight eggs.

This is Tian Chengcheng's request, one egg per person every morning, the first step to good health.

"Uncle Fubao, there is no need to boil our eggs, we won't eat them." Wang Xiaohong was startled.

Eight eggs!

There are four of them, mother and daughter, in the Tian family, and they can't eat eight eggs a year.

"Sister-in-law, you can follow what I do. If I don't treat you as outsiders, I won't make it for you alone, but don't take it to heart." Tian Hengyuan is honest and steady, and his words are comfortable to listen to.

No matter what Wang Xiaohong said, he had already put all eight eggs into the pot, and said to Brother Lai, "Brother Lai, can you help Uncle light the fire?"

"Yeah." Brother Lai walked over, took pine branches and put them in the pot, very skillfully.

Tian Chengcheng was the last one to wake up.

She didn't sleep well last night. At first she was too hard to fall asleep, and later she was too hot to fall asleep.

The old lady was afraid that she would be cold, so she gave her almost all the mattresses. As long as she saw her showing a little arm, she would cover her silently.

It took a lot of effort for Tian Chengcheng not to cry.

The old lady loves her!
The problem was that not only the old lady was like this, but Fu Xinhan was also like this. He was a light sleeper, almost as soon as the old lady stretched out her hand, he woke up, and then covered her with the mattress on his side.

Tian Chengcheng knew it for the first time.

It turns out that doting sometimes becomes a sweet burden.

As soon as the tidying up was done, Hu Zi came.

A group of people set foot on the road to the city. There were too many people, so they could only take the small road. When they got to the national road, they saw the village head was already waiting there, and there was a woven bag at their feet, which contained tiger cubs and quilts. A few changes of clothes.

Seeing them coming empty-handed, the village chief took a puff of cigarette, took out two yuan from his pocket and gave it to Wang Xiaohong, "Your aunt asked me to give it to you, it is not easy for you to bring three children, although it is not much, it can be solved to some extent! Take it, I lent it to you, and I will pay it back when I have money.”

Wang Xiaohong was very moved.

"Thank you, village chief, please help me say thank you to my aunt, and about the divorce, please trouble the village chief."
