Jiang Zhenwu is the only son of the second wife of the Jiang family. He is only eight years old now and is very strong.
Some of the hot porridge spilled out, and Jiang Yuzhu felt really distressed. Some of it poured onto Jiang Yuzhu's hand, and Jiang Yuzhu licked it clean without any hesitation.
Jiang Zhenwu smelled the aroma of rice porridge and almost drooled with greed. He looked at the bowl in Jiang Yuzhu's hand.
Jiang Yuzhu wanted to teach him a lesson, but thought of the two cents given by her second aunt, so she held back.
Mrs. Li has already returned to the house. There is no sign of her in the yard. The yard looks empty except for the humming of pigs and the proud "clucking" of chickens after laying eggs.
Jiang Yuzhu put the bowl into the house without closing the door, and then like a thief, she took out the eggs that the hen had just laid from the hen's nest.
The egg was still warm, Jiang Yuzhu held it in her hand and hurried back to the house.
As expected, I heard Mrs. Li yelling and cursing when she went out.
The door was kicked hard, and Jiang Xinyu was afraid that the dilapidated wooden door would fall apart.
Mrs. Li scolded her harshly, to the effect that Jiang Xinyu, a loser in the family, was not worthy of eating her eggs.
These days, eggs are very expensive. You can sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative for money, or you can exchange them for needles, thread, brains, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. If someone has a happy event, bringing three eggs to their door is a good gift.
The chickens raised by every household are not for eating. No one is willing to eat them before the Chinese New Year. They are used to exchange money and things. It can be said that eggs are an important source of income for the family.
When Jiang Yuzhu went out to argue with Mrs. Li, and later went to Li Fugui's house to serve porridge, a large amount of memories of the original Jiang Xinyu flooded into Jiang Xinyu's mind.
Jiang Xinyu still has a headache after combing her hair, but she can recognize Jiang Yuzhu in front of her.
This is Jiang Yuzhu, the second sister of the original owner.
Jiang Yuzhu was wearing gray and patched clothes. She was very thin, and her face was thinned into a melon-shaped face.
Old Mrs. Li was at the door and kicked the door with curses and words that were offensive to the ears. Jiang Xinyu had lived for twenty-three years and had never seen a more aggressive old lady than Old Mrs. Li.
Those who didn't know better thought that Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu dug up her family's ancestral graves instead of just taking a mere egg.
Jiang Yuzhu directly broke the eggs into the rice porridge and stirred it with chopsticks. Soon, the eggs turned into yellow egg drops.
The bowl of rice porridge was still open and didn't look very clean. When it was brought to Jiang Xinyu, the fishy smell of eggs hit her nostrils.
"Little sister, eat it while it's hot. If you feel sweaty after drinking it, just cover it and it'll be fine."
Looking at Jiang Yuzhu's eager red eyes, Jiang Xinyu was deeply moved.
The original owner, Jiang Xinyu, jumped into the river last night and must have burned out before she came.
She was extremely hungry, her stomach growled, and her whole body felt hot and tired. She sat up and leaned against the wall. Jiang Xinyu drank half of the rice soup with rice oil in her hand, leaving half of the thick rice soup for Jiang Yuzhu.
"Sister, you drink too."
Jiang Xinyu thought it would be difficult for her to call a stranger "sister", but she didn't expect that it would be easy to do so.
She could feel Jiang Yuzhu's love and care for Jiang Xinyu.
She didn't know how she got here, whether she was dreaming or something. Judging from the way the truck hit her, there was a high chance that neither she nor Chen Yi would survive.
Now she has become Jiang Xinyu from the Wuli Village Brigade of the Red Star Commune in 1976. So where is Chen Yi?
Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to take the bowl. Others had a fever and their faces became redder and redder. But the girl was pale. She had lost a lot of flesh because of her self-blame these days. Her face was thin and her chin was pointed, making her eyes look bigger.
"I feel like vomiting after drinking too much. You can eat it. It would be a waste not to eat it."
Jiang Yuzhu still refused to eat, "I'll heat it up for you in the evening, add some water and boil it again. This rice supports people, and you just need to replenish it."
There are a total of seventeen people living in Jiang's courtyard. They can't eat rice twice throughout the year. During the Chinese New Year, a white-flour steamed bun without other noodles will be delicious.
Jiang Xinyu felt so complicated.
Before the car accident, she had no worries about food and drink. She even bought expensive dog food, meat and various snacks for her dog. But look at now, a small bowl of rice soup has become extremely expensive.
s things.
"Sister, you eat!" Jiang Xinyu emphasized her tone. The Jiang Yuzhu in front of her looked clearly malnourished, and her hair was withered and yellow. She was not the original owner, and she couldn't just lie down and eat the fine grains that Jiang Yuzhu didn't know how.
.
Jiang Yuzhu licked her dry lips, but Jiang Xinyu couldn't resist it. She was really hungry and a little bit greedy, so she had to drink all the thick rice soup without leaving a grain of rice.
After finishing the drink, Jiang Xinyu drank two more pills with hot water and started to sweat.
Jiang Yuzhu brought her parents' quilts and quilted them for her.
The quilt has been covered for many years, and the cotton inside has long become clumps. It feels damp and heavy when it is covered, and it is not fluffy or soft at all.
Jiang Yuzhu covered her with only one head exposed, patted the quilt and said: "Little sister, dad's death has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame me, it's my fault. Don't do stupid things out of your mind again.
"
"Our mother should be back soon. When she comes back, someone will make the decision for us. Sister, I didn't tell her about you jumping into the river. After giving birth, she has to take care of the child and work. These three things
It’s not a problem to run back every day.”
Jiang Yuzhu was chattering, and Jiang Xinyu drank the medicine, and from time to time she heard the medicine's strength coming up. She fell into a drowsy state, and finally closed her eyes.
Jiang Xinyu thought to herself, how wonderful it would be to wake up again and see just a dream in front of her.
Seeing that she was asleep, Jiang Yuzhu got up and went to Li Fugui's house.
When her father passed away and her mother went home to visit relatives, the Jiang family refused to help the two sisters. Uncle Li and Aunt Cui were not related to them but were willing to help them. Jiang Yuzhu was naturally extremely grateful.
Jiang Yuzhu went to Li Fugui's house, cleaned his yard, and then went to pick up firewood from the forest belt and carried it back.
It was also a coincidence that she also picked up a nest of seven wild eggs, which was just in time to thank Aunt Cui.
Uncle Li and Aunt Cui helped her, and they didn't think of asking her to repay anything in return. If they wanted to repay her, that was a matter for Chen Xiuyun. But they couldn't stand it. Jiang Yuzhu was really sensible and helped her. What she did was really embarrassing.
.
Jiang Xinyu was lying on the bed in a daze, and her dreams were all about the original owner's experiences in the countryside in the past seventeen years, and the village became lively.
"Widow Wang, Widow Wang, your Chen Yi fell while learning to drive a tractor at the farm airport. He was sent to the hospital. You should go and have a look."
The loud shouting was heard by half of the people in the village, and they all came out to watch the fun.
Widow Wang, who was cleaning the pigsty, felt her legs weak when she heard the words.
The commune members outside were all chattering.
"How can I still have problems learning to drive a tractor?"
"When the captain recommended Chen Yi to learn to drive a tractor, you were still making irresponsible remarks. Now it's fine, right? You didn't expect something would happen, right?"
"I don't know where the injury is. Is it okay?"
…
After Widow Wang recovered, she rushed out of the pigsty in the courtyard, not even bothering to close the courtyard door, and went to the commune's health center.
