When the two of them came to the river, some half-aged children were already picking pig grass here. These children were unable to go to work and did not go to school.

"This river is too small." Looking up, the river channel is at least twenty meters wide, and the river dam is seven or eight meters high, but there is only a small part of the water in the river.

If you have a visual observation, it is estimated that the deepest part will reach the child's knees, while the shallow part will reach the opposite side of the stone.

But it is also true. According to records, the drought had already shown signs since the end of 1958.

Some people are fighting pig grass by the river, while others have already finished playing with water by the river and touching snails.

These days, I rarely eat meat a few times a year, so the snails and fish and shrimps in the river have become essentials for improving the food.

However, the river water is almost dry, and repeated fishing can only find scattered things, which is better than nothing.

Looking up, I saw my younger brother staring at the children playing in the river, and excitedly wanted to run over and play together.

I can only stop it quickly.

"Brother, let's fight pig grass first, let's go and play after a while."

Hearing his brother's words, Jiang Xiaohe could only go and fight to the grass.

It is now early September, and the autumn harvest will be around one month left.

In my memory, it seems that I started eating in the canteen after the autumn harvest. However, each place is different, so there may be a gap in time, but it may not be long.

I have to find a way during this period, but I can't starve myself to death in more than a month. And I have to take care of my younger brother. If I am gone, my younger brother will probably not be able to survive for three years of drought.

I have room now, so I can't starve myself to death. However, when I think of the group of people at home, I have no interest in raising these ungrateful wolves.

Oh no!

Soon the two of them made two baskets of pig grass. Under the urging of their brother who was already impatient, they went down the stream and began to hunt for treasure.

After exploring for a while, he only gained a few things. Seeing that other friends in the village were far away and could not find anything, he began to activate his abilities.

Many river clams are buried in the mud, which is difficult for others to discover, but they can only pick them up easily.

After a while, the two of them caught about a dozen big and fat river clams, and even several crabs.

Looking at the dozen big and fat river clams that were being buried in the two, he wondered if he could directly put things into that space.

Secretly pulling a river clam into his mind and putting it in.

"Swoosh..."

The river clam disappeared instantly.

"It's really OK." Seeing this situation, Jiang Xiaochuan was very excited. In this way, he could just put things in without anyone entering. It was really convenient.

While my brother was not paying attention, he dug and collected.

Jiang Xiaohe was playing happily on the side, but did not notice his brother's little movements.

Looking at more than twenty big and fat river clams, I should have collected them when they are ready. "Xiaohe, it's okay, but it's better to go back. There's so much to eat at home."

Jiang Xiaohe heard his words and said aggrievedly, "Brother, do you have to take all these back? We can't eat much."

Looking at his brother's aggrieved expression, he smiled and said, "Hehe, Xiaohe, if you don't add oil or salt, it will be very unpalatable. And do you have a pot?"

Jiang Xiaohe thought for a while, and he had no seasonings or pots. He could only mutter, "It seems that they can only be cheaper."

"Okay, I'll wait a few days later and find a way to get seasonings and pots. I'll secretly open a small kitchen for you." I rubbed my brother's head and comforted with a smile.

Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaohe asked excitedly. "Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?" He laughed and rubbed his head.

However, he was indeed going to secretly change a pot and some seasonings. There was no need to think about the iron pot. In this era, the iron production was small, so the price was very expensive. He only had a little river clam and could not afford an iron pot. At most, he bought a pottery pot.

Place the river clams at the bottom of the pig grass basket so that they can cover them.

Now that the autumn grain has not yet come down, it is time for the green and yellow food to be collected, the food of each family is almost at its bottom. Moreover, these river clams are considered meat dishes no matter what. He still understands the principle of guilt for possessing a treasure.

These river clams may have been a little better before, but since the low rainfall this year, the river clams have been dug up one after another. The rest are either hidden very deeply or are very small and have no meat.

It has been a long time since I dug so many large river clams.

The two of them cleaned up and rushed to the house.

As soon as they entered the door, before the two of them could speak, Grandma Jiang, who was standing on the steps of the door, scolded, "Two little bastards, does it take so long to beat a pig grass? What are you doing outside?"

Hearing Grandma Jiang's scolding, Jiang Xiaochuan frowned and secretly put away the river clams in the basket for a small half. If he hadn't been afraid that his brother would find out, he would have even wanted to leave only two or three.

Knowing that his arm could not twist his thighs, Jiang Xiaochuan could only give in and said with a smile, "Grandma, we are digging river clams by the river, and we have dug more than a dozen."

Hearing his words, Grandma Jiang's face looked a little better. She hurriedly took the baskets of the two of them.

When Grandma Jiang saw seventeen or eighteen large river clams at the bottom of the basket, her eyes burst into laughter and said to the two gently, "Yes, they are all good kids. Your father and your brother are so tired of working every day. You can make up for these."

"Your sister also needs to study hard, so she should make up for it."

Everyone in the family was chanted, but they didn't mention that their mother was working, and their brothers had the least food.

As if feeling what Jiang Xiaochuan thought, Grandma Jiang said again, "Thank you both to you, you have to make up for it."

"Make a few pieces every day, make some soup, and keep the rest, and you can eat them for three or four days."

While muttering, he walked towards the kitchen with a basket.

Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaochuan smiled coldly. The seven or eight old hens raised at home laid so many eggs. He had been here for two or three years, and he had eaten more than ten in total.

The reason is either who wants to do heavy work at home or who wants to study. It takes brains to make up for it.

Both of them have forgotten when the last time they ate eggs. They almost forgot the taste of eggs.

I don’t know if I am afraid that the two of them will have bad luck and the pig will have diarrhea. Or I am afraid that there is reason to eat more meat when slaughtering pigs. Fortunately, the two of them did not let the pig cook work.

Moreover, they usually don’t need to interfere in the work of raising pigs and chickens at home.

Of course, every time I eat these things, I naturally don’t have two people’s portions. At most, others eat meat and two people drink soup.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Looking at the river clams in the space, worried that they would die of water shortage. They had to find a way to get a basin and water.

Seeing that my brother had already run back to the house, he wandered around the yard and saw a small cracked water tank in the corner at a glance.

Although it is broken, it can still hold a lot of water, and it is still no problem to put dozens of river clams.

After a glance, I saw that there was no one nearby, and everyone at home was busy with their own affairs, and instantly I put the water and the tank into the space.

Looking at the new soil removed from the original position, there were a few bugs crawling out from it.

Thinking that if we don’t separate our relationship now, our brothers will definitely be implicated.

His eyes rolled and he shouted into the room, "Grandma, grandma, come quickly, why is the water tank here gone?"

"What? The water tank was lost?" Grandma Jiang, who was happily fiddling with river clams in the room, heard his shouts and hurried over.

Looking at the original location of the water tank, there was nothing there.

Grandma Jiang scolded Jiang Xiaochuan with an ugly face and said, "Little bastard, did you lose the water tank?"

He had expected this a long time ago and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, you see, the soil is new, and the insects are still afraid of it, which means it hasn't been moved away. We went out to fight pig grass in the afternoon and just came back."

"Besides, grandma, look at my small body, how could I move the water tank?"

When he said this, Grandma Jiang no longer doubted him, but she still said with a cold face, "What do you mean? Are you saying that our family will not give you food or drink?"

Jiang Xiaochuan choked when she heard her words. He hurriedly said in disappointment, "No grandma, I mean I'm too young."

"Hmph...this is almost the same. We are so lucky that we serve you with delicious food and drinks. I'll go to the next door to see." Grandma Jiang snorted coldly, and after that, she walked out of the yard.

Jiang Xiaochuan was so angry when he heard her words. But he couldn't defend himself, otherwise the more he was making trouble.

After a while, there were many cursing voices coming from the next door. I don’t know if it was scolding the thief who was stealing things or yelling at the neighbors.

"We can't afford to provoke such people, just scold them, scold them, I'm used to them anyway." Jiang Xiaochuan muttered and walked towards his house.

When I returned to the room, my younger brother was holding a pair of little wooden men and having fun there.

Sitting on the bed, he felt that life is really boring now, without a cell phone, a TV, a toy, and nothing. He didn't even have books, and he didn't know what to use to pass the time.

Thinking of the river clams in the space, I found an excuse to go to the toilet, came to the back of the firewood in the corner of the yard, and flashed into the space.

Few people come here, and even if they pick up firewood, they will only take it from the front.

After entering the space, put the river clams all over the ground into the water tank. After staying for a few minutes, it came out again. If you stay in it for a long time, it will easily reveal the filling.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Jiang Xiaohe asked in confusion, "Brother, why are you back so soon?"

"What's wrong? I've been out for a few minutes. It's still slow." Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment when he heard his younger brother's words.

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll come in when you go out, okay," Jiang Xiaohe muttered, then stopped asking, lowered his head and played with his little wooden man.

Hearing his younger brother's words, he was shocked and sweated from behind him.

I thought to myself that I would pick up dozens of river clams and put them in, wash my hands, and it would take a few minutes. In addition, I waited for a few minutes, how could I go out and come in?

Seeing that his younger brother did not ask further, Jiang Xiaochuan felt relieved. Then he thought of something surprised.

time

It is estimated that the time in the space is different from the time outside.
