Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 4
Although there were no bandits, the life of the Cheng family was still miserable haha.

The whole family cooks a pot of brown rice porridge a day, but they say it is porridge but there are not many rice grains. Every morning and evening, they are given a bowl. The ones given to Zhuhua are all soup, and the ones given to Jinhua and Yinhua have a few grains of rice in them. .After eating the porridge, they would either sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun, or lie on the bed. Sometimes Yinhua would cry out that she was hungry, and Jinhua would drag her to bed and tell her that she would not be hungry when she fell asleep.Yinhua always said that she was lying, but she still lay there in a daze and didn't move much.Even on New Year's Eve, the family's food only changed from rice porridge to sweet potato porridge with a sweet potato added.

As if it was agreed, this year, when visiting relatives, they just go to that house to have a cup of sugar water and then come back.Only Aunt Li's family from the Cheng family came to drink a cup of sugar water and sit down. Only then did Zhuhua know that Aunt Li's family consisted of only Uncle Li and Aunt Li. .

Aunt Li is also surnamed Sun, and she is eight years older than Sun's family. Their natal families are neighbors, and there is a little relationship between them.Sun's family is a butcher, and there is only one daughter in the family. Life is much better than that of Aunt Li's family with a large population and only a few acres of Susukida. , can be regarded as thanks to Aunt Li for helping to bring Sun Shi, and speaking of which, Sun Shi can be considered to be brought up by Aunt Li.Aunt Li came forward to reconcile Sun's marriage. After Sun married, she and Aunt Li walked around more often, and had a normal relationship with other people in the village. No one in the village could understand why her man was a bastard.

However, Sun's reputation is not very good. She was a hot-tempered person since she was a child. When her mother gave birth to her, she lost her body and was bedridden all year round. Before Aunt Li got married, she helped take care of Sun. Now, Mrs. Sun is five years old, and her father can take her to kill pigs in all directions.It is not uncommon to kill a pig and bring a child. The strange thing is that this five-year-old girl is not only not afraid of the scene of killing a pig, but also likes to scare people with pig intestines. The boys who are about her age have been scared to cry by her. .It was probably because she was scared out of their minds when they were young. When they grew up, when they heard that the girl they kissed was the girl who chased them around the village with blood on their face when they were young, they shook their heads in fright.So Sun's marriage was delayed.

Later, when her father fell ill, she took over the job of butchering pigs, and no one dared to marry her.In the countryside, there is only a foolish and bold Cheng Dashan, Cheng Hunzi, who is not afraid of her reputation when he hears about her reputation. Thinking of her fierce appearance when she was a child, he thinks that this girl is good. It's pleasing to the eye.It's not that Mrs. Sun is good-looking, but that Mrs. Sun looks much plump compared to a group of yellow and thin country girls. Even though her skin is a little tanned because she went out to collect pigs, she looks fairer than ordinary girls who do farm work.

Cheng Dashan wanted to marry the Sun family before his old mother died, so he asked Aunt Li and helped the Li family harvest wheat for three days.Aunt Li was so entangled by him that she had no choice but to check on Mrs. Sun, but Mrs. Sun didn't refuse on the spot, she only said that her father would only count if he saw it.In the end, her father was very satisfied with Cheng Dashan who came to see him after cleaning up. Mrs. Sun recognized this man as a gangster who often wandered in front of the pork stall, and hesitated for a while. Later, Cheng Dashan helped kill pigs all winter Only then did she agree.

After Sun's marriage, she didn't change her pungent style. She quarreled several times with the gangsters who always asked Cheng Dashan to gamble, and almost stabbed people with knives. They were so scared that these people didn't dare to come again.Cheng's mother knew about this and even praised this daughter-in-law for a good marriage, but Cheng Dashan smirked and didn't say anything when she heard about it.Seeing that the two of them were living happily, Aunt Li felt relieved.

It's a pity that the age is not good. After Sun was pregnant with the third child, the court raised taxes again, and they had to draw strong men.At this time, Cheng's mother had passed away. Cheng Dashan looked at the whole family and said arrogantly that he would go out to earn a lot of money, and then never came back. Sun didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the child had to be raised However, she couldn't bear to think about him impatiently, and she still had to find a way for the rations for next spring.

When the weather warmed up, Zhuhua, who was two years old but actually less than six months old, found that the person watching her was Ah Yin, who was four years old, and Sun Shi and Ah Jin were not at home all day.Because they always left when she was asleep and came back when she was asleep, and she didn't know what they were doing.It wasn't until one day that they came back with pheasants and hares that Ah Zhu knew that the mother and daughter had gone hunting boldly up the mountain.

Damn, you are too good, Ah Zhu thought, smiling and clapping her hands.

"Wow, meat..." Ah Yin happily ran to the yard, and the child ignored them and circled around the two of them.

"What are you yelling, I see you are having fun." Mrs. Sun taught with a smile.

The prey on the mountain is not easy to catch. Sun is not a hunter. He just followed Cheng Dashan a few times when he was hunting in the past and tried to shoot an arrow once. At that time, he failed.But she is quite interested in hunting. She dare not go to the deep mountains, so she can only take her daughter for a stroll in the nearby mountains.Fortunately, when she went up the mountain to hide from the bandits, she was familiar with the roads on the mountain, and probably guessed which side might be the prey and which side was more dangerous.Even so, she only managed to catch a pheasant and a hare after wandering in the mountains for so many days. The pheasant looks very thin, so I guess it can’t be sold for a price, so I can keep it for myself. The hare is quite fat, so I can sell it in the town tomorrow. some money.

In the evening, the family cooked a pot of chicken soup and shared a bowl for Ah Jin to send to Aunt Li's house. Ah Zhu also drank some of the fragrant broth that had been removed from the oil and added water.No way, who made her too young to eat greasy things.Even if it was just a small sip of clear water and broth, she was so moved that she wanted to cry, she was finally able to lose weight but she was just a baby, when would she grow teeth and eat meat?

However, eating meat is also risky. One day when Sun and Jinhua came back, their faces were pale, and there were still scars on their faces from the fall.Yinhua, who had been waiting for them to come back, was on the verge of tears when she saw that they were injured, she stopped talking and squatted beside them quietly watching them.

"There is no meat to eat today." Mrs. Sun rubbed her head and said.

"I don't like meat." As if she was afraid that Mrs. Sun would not believe it, she poohed a few times, "Meat doesn't taste good."

Sun hugged her silently, Zhuhua could tell from her trembling shoulders that she was crying, and Jinhua also cried silently for a while.Soon Mrs. Sun raised her head again, seeing that Jin Hua was also crying, she reached out and wiped her tears, "Okay, let's go cook."

The three mothers smiled and went into the kitchen to cook, forgetting about Zhuhua lying on the bed, they all thought she was asleep, Zhuhua rolled her eyes around, closed them wisely, and really fell asleep.As a child, if you sleep more, you will grow faster. She wants to grow up and help the family.

In spring, other families are busy with field work.The Cheng family only has half an acre of land, which is usually used to grow vegetables, but Sun's sprinkled the seeds and left it alone.She didn't do much farming at home before, but she was not allowed to go hunting in the mountains in spring. She went there a few times for emergencies, but now that she can live on, she won't go there any more. Anyway, there are many wild vegetables in spring, and she won't starve to death. .

When the weather warmed up, Azhu was also tied on the back by Mrs. Sun and led out of the house. Sometimes the family went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and sometimes they went to the market.The wild vegetables dug up will be mixed with brown rice to make porridge. Although Ah Jin and Ah Yin can drink it up, they don't like it very much.Wild vegetables have a bitter taste, and only adults like this taste, and Azhu doesn't like it either, but she still obediently drank the wild vegetable soup that was fed to her.When going to the market, everyone also went to watch the excitement. Sometimes Sun would watch outside the blacksmith shop for a while, and then bowed his head and went home sadly.

In order to collect tax money, Sun’s knife for slaughtering pigs was pawned last year. In the first half of the year, there were no pigs slaughtered in the four miles and eight towns. She had to save the money for buying knives in half a year. our bank.In order to make money, after a few days, the family had a litter of little rabbits, a litter of pheasants, a group of domestic chickens, and two piglets.In order to prevent someone from stealing, the fence wall of the house was repaired again, and Sun also planted a few thorny vines beside the wall, firstly to prevent rabbits and chickens from running out, and secondly to prevent outsiders from coming in to steal things.

She also told the little ones several times to be careful of the thorns on the wall. Jinhua is a sensible person, and she has been avoiding the wall since then, but Yinhua seems to have found new fun, and she has to act like being stabbed by a thorn from time to time. Playing the game of pretending to be in pain, I especially like playing with Zhuhua, making Zhuhua want to roll her eyes.
