Chapter 172 The Old Lady of the Waste (3)
After dinner, Jiang Yunzhu went to wash dishes, while the others sat on the steps under the eaves, stretched their hands back, and sighed happily, "I ate so much today."
Yes, the portion was burned in full today.
But after sighing happily, they began to feel melancholy again. The eldest brother Jiang Yunsheng said, "The second sister said the flour is gone. It seems that the hare cannot be left for us to eat. The third brother goes to the town with me tomorrow, and we sell the hare to buy flour."
"Okay, brother."
Wang inside heard the chat content of the three little ones outside and silently. It seemed that she had to go to the mountain tomorrow.
Although she can't hunt in her memory, she feels that she should be able to do it.
"Mom, can I sleep with you?" Jiang Yunzhu, who came back from the kitchen, went directly to Wang to explain her purpose.
Facing Jiang Yunzhu's expectant and nervous eyes, it is not difficult to see her thoughts. She is afraid that her awakening will be a flash in the pan. She wants to seize the waking time she has been with her and want to verify what she said today, so she comes.
Wang did not refuse, "Okay, you go and wash first."
"Okay, mom." Jiang Yunzhu went out happily.
In ancient times, people emphasized "working at sunrise and resting at sunset". In the homes of ordinary people, except for those who have scholars at home, no one is willing to use more oil lamps and candles at home. They all took advantage of the daylight to make everything they should be busy with. When the sky was completely dark, they would lie on the kang to rest without any accident.
The Wang family is no exception.
The mother and daughter were lying on the kang, and Jiang Yunzhu wanted to speak but stopped.
There was someone lying next to him, and Wang was also a little uncomfortable.
"Zhuzhu, tell me how you brothers came here over the years?" I was so crazy in my memory that I didn't have a comprehensive memory of the children, so she wanted to take the opportunity to learn more.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yunzhu couldn't stop talking, and when she talked about the sadness, she couldn't help crying.
Wang could only turn around and touch Jiang Yunzhu's head to show comfort, "It's because my mother is too cowardly. You have suffered all these years."
Jiang Yunzhu sat up from the kang and hugged Wang's waist, "Mom, as long as she is still here, we will not suffer."
"Good boy." Wang looked at the dark roof, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
The next day, there was a movement in the wing room. Jiang Yunsheng pushed Jiang Yunyang down and whispered, "Santher, wake up, it's time to get up. We are going to town today, so we have to go out early."
Jiang Yunyang rubbed his eyes and stood up halfway, "Okay, brother."
When the two of them got up, Jiang Yunzhu was still missing, and Jiang Yunyang was a little confused, "Have you got up yet?"
Jiang Yunsheng thought that Jiang Yunzhu might have been sleeping with Wang last night, but she was afraid that she hadn't gotten up yet, so she said, "I remember there are still a few cakes in the kitchen. We will take them with us and eat them on the way when we are hungry."
"All right."
After the two of them took the hare out, the house was quiet.
When Wang woke up, it was already a while later. Perhaps Jiang Yunzhu was venting her emotions a little hard yesterday. She was sleeping properly now. Wang woke up quietly, hoping to let Jiang Yunzhu sleep for a while longer.
After leaving the main hall, I happened to see the fourth brother Jiang Yunming and the fifth brother Jiang Yunxu coming out of the wing room.
"Mom." Seeing that Wang's eyes were still clear, the two brothers ran forward in surprise.
Wang smiled softly, "The fourth brother, the fifth brother, got up." He looked around again, "Where is the eldest brother and the third brother?"
"Brother and third brother went out early in the morning. They said yesterday that they were going to the town today." This is what Jiang Yunming said.
When he was still sleeping in a daze, he saw his elder brother and third brother get up.
"My mother knows, you wash up first, mom goes to make food for you." In my memory, ordinary people here eat twice a day, but Wang feels that this meal after getting up must be missing. With her, she will not be wronged in food.
"Mom, would you waste food too much?" Jiang Yunming asked a question. They had little food in the countryside, and the village basically ate two meals a day. Although they were indeed a little hungry when they woke up in the morning, they got used to it after all these years. After all, everyone is like this.
"It's easy to work after eating." Wang didn't explain much, after all, he was made by poverty.
"Where is the second sister?" Jiang Yunxu couldn't help asking if he didn't see Jiang Yunzhu.
"Your second sister is still sleeping. When you prepare food, you will ask your second sister to get up." Wang said.
The two of them went to wash up obediently, and Wang also went into the kitchen. The breakfast she had to make was very simple, including white porridge and wild vegetable buns.
Jiang Yunzhu woke up and didn’t see Wang’s person on the kang. Her heart became nervous. Where did her mother go?
He was in a hurry to put on his clothes and quickly left the main hall. Seeing the two people in the yard, he hurried over, grabbed the collar of the fourth brother Jiang Yunming and asked, "Second, where is the mother? Have you seen her?"
He looked at the old fifth man Jiang Yunxu again.
Jiang Yunming was caught by Jiang Yunzhu, but he didn't react for a while, "Sister, sister, sister, let go first."
He was almost breathless.
It was still the fifth brother Jiang Yunxu who went to pull Jiang Yunzhu's arm, "Sister, calm down, mom cooks food in the kitchen."
"Hmm? What did you say?" Jiang Yunzhu let go of Jiang Yunming's collar and stared at Jiang Yunxu.
It seems to be confirming something.
Jiang Yunxu spoke again, "Mom is in the kitchen."
Wang also heard the movement and looked at the three of them and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Wang's hands were still covered with flour.
"Mom?" Jiang Yunzhu looked at Wang calmly, confirming whether she was awake now. After that, she cried with joy.
My mother didn't lie to her.
I went over and hugged Wang.
Wang held up his flour-stained hand and let Jiang Yunzhu hold her waist helplessly, comforting her, "Mom is here, I won't lose it."
"Well, my daughter believes in my mother." This time, Jiang Yunzhu calmed down quickly and complained with a coquettish tone, "I don't call my daughter when I get up."
"Mom also wants Zhuzhu to sleep for a while." Looking at the two brothers who looked confused, Wang changed the subject and said, "Okay, brothers, you have to read my sister's joke."
"Dare they?" Jiang Yunzhu came out of Wang's arms and threatened the two brothers behind her with her fists.
Jiang Yunming and Jiang Yunxu stopped doing it and complained to Wang, "Mom, look at the second sister, you know how to bully us."
Wang smiled and said, "Okay, since Zhuzhu is awake, then come in and help her make food together."
"Yeah, yeah." Jiang Yunzhu smiled and nodded, and raised her chins to the two brothers behind her, saying that she would dare to sue her second sister, and she would not look at her second sister's status at home.
The two brothers who went to the town had only walked halfway. Although they encountered the ox cart in the village halfway and asked them if they wanted to ride the ox cart, they refused.
It costs two cents to ride a ox cart, but they have to pay four cents, and they are not willing to.
