As soon as she finished her egg soup, she heard footsteps and lights outside. Zhao Jing looked outside the door.
A man and a woman walked in from the door. The woman looked about the same age as she is now, and the man was very strong. They looked a bit alike, they were brother and sister.
One of these two people is Wang Guihua's eldest son Zhao Huaijun, and the other is her youngest daughter Zhao Xiaozhen.
Zhao Xiaozhen is an adventurous person. When she walked in and saw Zhao Jing waking up, she said with a smile: "Auntie, my mother asked me and my brother to come and see if you are awake."
Zhao Jing nodded. The original owner was quiet and talked little.
Just looking at the girl in front of her who was about the same age as herself and calling herself grandma, Zhao Jingyi felt very complicated.
Zhao Huaijun was more reliable than Zhao Xiaozhen, and he said somewhat honestly: "Auntie, my mother said that she has cooked sweet potato porridge for you in the pot, and told you to eat some to fill your stomach when you are hungry, and she will come over to bring you some food later.
of."
Zhao Jing shook her head and said, "Don't bother me. I'm much better. Thank you for your concern."
She is indeed much better now, and she still knows how valuable food is these days. It is already good to help her cook porridge and give her egg soup. How can she still eat their food?
Zhao Huaijun was stunned. This was the first time he heard his great aunt say so many words. He scratched his hair naively: "You are an elder, this is what you should do. What's more, you are not in good health yet. A little food for ancestors."
Don’t worry, auntie.”
In Zhao Huaijun's opinion, Zhao Jing was too young to eat much, not to mention that their family was still rich in food.
They are relatives, so they don't care about this.
Moreover, he remembered that it was Zhao Jingyi's father, Great Uncle (abbreviation), who used to take good care of their family, and his father's captaincy was given to him by Great Uncle.
Now that the great-uncle is gone, they should take good care of their great-aunt.
Although Zhao Xiaozhen is a bit nervous and her reflexes are a bit far away, in her opinion, what her mother said and what her brother said are both correct: "That's right, that's it, grandma, don't think too much about it, your body is the most important thing."
When Zhao Jing looked at the two brothers and sisters, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she nodded without refusing.
You can just return it to them later. Although the original person is favored, he still has to go to work, but it is relatively light work.
Zhao Xiaozhen smiled when she saw Zhao Jing, and her eyes lit up: "Wow, great aunt, you look so pretty when you smile."
Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment, and the arc she drew recovered, and she felt a little nervous.
The original owner didn't like to laugh much, was very quiet, talked little, and was a bit withdrawn.
She almost revealed her secret.
Zhao Xiaozhen wanted to say something else, but Wang Guihua suddenly appeared at the door carrying a basket.
Seeing her daughter chattering like a bird, she interrupted her: "Your great-aunt is not well yet, Xiaozhen, don't bother your great-aunt, go back."
Zhao Xiaozhen stuck out her tongue, smiled at Zhao Jing, waved her hand and said, "Auntie, I'm going back first. I'll come over to see you tomorrow."
Zhao Jingyi originally wanted to say no, but when she saw the little girl was so happy, she nodded subconsciously.
Zhao Xiaozhen was even happier, with a bigger smile on her face, and she jumped out of the house.
Zhao Huaijun nodded to Zhao Jing and followed his sister out.
After the brother and sister left, Wang Guihua put the contents in the basket on the kang, took out a medium-sized square table from the cabinet on the side, and placed it in front of Zhao Jingyi.
Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment when she saw it. It smelled like meat.
Wang Guihua opened the cloth on the basket and took out three small bowls, one filled with minced fried vegetables, one with two sweet potatoes, and a bowl of rice porridge.
Wang Guihua laid the table and said to Zhao Jingyi: "Auntie, I will bring you some vegetables and porridge from home. You can eat."
Zhao Jingyi was a little embarrassed and imitated the original owner's tone and whispered: "Daughter-in-law of Jianting, I'm fine, don't bother me so much."
Wang Guihua's husband's name is Zhao Jianting, which is how they are usually called in the village, so-and-so's wife.
Wang Guihua knew what she was worried about. She waved her hands and said with concern: "Auntie, we are a family. Don't think too much. Taking good care of yourself is the most important thing."
I can't help but feel sour in my heart, because I am obviously about the same age as my daughter, and I have experienced things in advance that I shouldn't have experienced.
It's really heartbreaking to be so sensible.
When Zhao Jing saw her like this, she nodded and started eating in small bites.
Wang Guihua wanted to comfort Zhao Jingyi, but she didn't know how to speak, and she was afraid that she would make Zhao Jingyi sad and uncomfortable.
For a while, the two of them didn't speak. The only sound in the room was the sound of Zhao Jing eating.
While Zhao Jing was eating, she noticed that Wang Guihua was hesitant to speak. She thought for a moment and roughly guessed what she wanted to say.
But she didn't say anything, and ate quietly. The taste was very bland, and there was no oily smell. There was a small piece of fat and thin meat.
It can be said that it is not very delicious, but Zhao Jingyi ate it with gusto.
There wasn't much food, so Zhao Jingyi finished it quickly, and Wang Guihua quickly put away the bowls and chopsticks.
"Auntie, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'll go back first. I'll come over tomorrow to bring you something to eat."
Zhao Jing shook her head quickly: "No, I'm fine. I can make my own food tomorrow. I'm much better, really."
Food is so expensive these days. It's enough to eat it once, but not twice.
I have to get some food and give it back to them tomorrow. No one is in a tight situation these days.
Wang Guihua wanted to say something else, but seeing Zhao Jingyi's firm attitude, she could only agree, but in her heart she thought she would come over to see her again tomorrow.
After Wang Guihua left, Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, took the kerosene lamp, put on her shoes, opened the door and walked out.
The countryside is very quiet at night and the air is very fresh. Except for the chirping of insects at night, there is basically no sound.
This feeling was quite comfortable. It was her first time spending the night in the countryside and it was still a strange world, so this feeling was not bad.
Zhao Jingyi's home has three rooms, a yard, a kitchen, and a small toilet, which is a bit big for one person to live in.
The yard was fenced, and the gate was not closed yet. Zhao Jing carefully walked to the door, locked it, and then turned to go to the kitchen.
She had a fever, sweated a lot, and was sticky, which made her very uncomfortable, so she had to boil water to take a bath.
What's more, it's the dog days of summer now. Although it's a little cooler at night, it's still very hot.
The north and the south are different. The four seasons in the north are very distinct, while the south feels like there are only two seasons, winter and summer.
When she came to the kitchen, it was small and crude, but well-equipped. Zhao Jing sighed and slowly fumbled around according to the memory of the original owner, lighting a fire and putting water in the pot to boil.
A little unfamiliar, but luckily, it worked. Zhao Jing sat on the small wooden stool and touched her forehead. It was still a little hot. After a moment of hesitation, she found the antipyretic medicine she bought from the bowl of the original owner's father.
I took out a pot of water and a bowl from the cabinet, and poured some water into it.
Take the medicine and put the things back into space.
She was thinking that she was going to go for a walk in the village tomorrow. There were still a few months until the food distribution day. The original father's work points were quite a lot, and the original person also had some. In this way, even if she did less work later, it would still be enough for her.
For one person to eat.
Unfortunately, there was still food in the space, and she couldn't eat much at her age.
Thinking that the water was ready, Zhao Jing lifted a bucket from the side of the kitchen door, scooped water into the bucket with a wooden ladle, brought it to the toilet, filled some cold water in another bucket, brought it to the toilet, and poured it into the toilet.
into a bucket of hot water.
He took out a transparent bottle of unscented shower gel from the space, took a shower, and then took a set of long-sleeved trousers from the space that were similar to those of this era and put them on.
