Chen Miao went over and pulled Chen Jiang up, "Hurry up and eat. This is the peach cake your brother-in-law bought. Let's have a piece of it each."
Chen Jiang had already smelled the sweet smell.
"Hurry up and sit down and eat porridge."
"Third sister, what will you eat in the future?"
"In the future, I will eat less, and wild vegetables will come out soon. This bag of cornmeal and a bag of sorghum rice are enough for me. Don't worry about that. I'll eat a bowl of porridge and the remaining three.
The bowl is all yours."
After all, Chen Jiang was a child, and he was really hungry, so he made porridge with dried Japanese melon in the morning. It was very thin and he couldn't eat enough.
"Eat the peach cake, it's so delicious."
Chen Miao ignored it and ate one piece in two bites. Chen Jiang ate it in small bites and watched the third sister eat it all, breaking off half of it and giving it to her.
"I don't want it. You've eaten it all. Don't take it out and cause trouble for me. It's just two pieces."
Chen Miao ate quickly and asked Chen Jiang again to eat all three bowls of porridge while she went to feed the little donkey.
Chen Jiang couldn't care about anything else now. He ate the peach cake and all three bowls of porridge. He hadn't felt so full for a long time.
Chen Miao has already packed up and has no time to rest. She still has to get hay for the little donkey.
"Third sister, what are you doing in a car?"
"The little donkey has no fodder yet, and it's too cold at night. I'm going to get more hay. Do you know where there is more hay?"
"I know, I'll take you there. I'll go home and get the rake."
"Don't go. You'll save yourself from being scolded later. I have a sickle at home."
Commander Chen Jiang went to the south. "There is a lot of hay in the ditch bordering Zhangzhuang, which is very good." He wandered around the area all day long and knew a lot of things.
Arriving next to the river ditch that Chen Jiang mentioned, Chen Miao smiled. The entire ditch was several kilometers long and was filled with hay.
The little donkey was tied to a tree, and the two siblings went down to cut the grass.
Chen Jiang was really capable and quickly filled up a cart. "Third sister, please drive over and cut two more carts today."
In this way, the two siblings spent the entire afternoon mowing back three carts of hay, and agreed to mow another day in a few days. Not only could they feed the little donkey, but they could also light the fire.
In fact, people who live well do not hesitate to burn hay, and the fodder for their livestock is corn stalks chopped with a guillotine, which the livestock love to eat.
Chen Miao had nothing but to make do, as the woodshed was almost full.
"Third sister, are you going to go up the mountain tomorrow? I'll go with you."
"Mom, are you willing to come with me?"
"It's okay now. I wasn't at home all day, and she didn't know."
"That's okay. Just watch the donkey cart at the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid someone will take it away."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning."
When Chen Jiang went home, Chen Miao started to clean up. She was too tired from the day, so she took a shower and went to bed.
I ate a boiled egg and drank a bag of milk before going to bed. I finally had a chance to live, and of course I will cherish it even more.
Because I was too tired, it was a dreamless night.
Shen Jianfeng, who was on the train, was quite worried about his wife. It had just been a day since they got married and she had left. She didn't know when she would come back. She didn't know what would happen if she was alone at home.
Considering that she is so afraid of him, she must be looking forward to leaving, right? Can she survive alone at home?
Shen Jianfeng knew that it was useless to worry about anything. When are these damn beasts going to get out? He can only go home if he blows them away, right? Then he doesn't know what year or month it is.
"Where do you miss your wife?" Shuangxi asked with a smile.
"Yeah, I don't know how she can live alone. In fact, I don't want to get married. But I dream about my grandpa every day. The two of us were married when my grandpa was here."
"That's good, your wife is still young, isn't your mother-in-law from the same village?"
Shen Jianfeng didn't say anything. It had already been discussed, but when they discussed getting a wife, they asked for an extra three yuan. He made it very clear that there was no need to be filial to them in the future. Even if they die, they can go if they want to, and if they don't want to, they can go.
arrive.
When Chen Jiang returned home, his mother's stick came up and he "ran away like crazy."
Chen Jiang was used to it, so he avoided it and stayed aside. Otherwise, he would still be wandering in front of his mother, and he would be beaten soon.
The next day, Chen Miao got up. It was still dark outside and she hurriedly got up to cook. She made pancakes and had some for lunch. Today she must get more firewood. Spring planting is coming. Living in the countryside is inseparable from firewood. Besides, spring
I don’t necessarily have time to chop wood.
When the pancake was cooked, she secretly drank a bag of milk and ate an egg. Then she started to make food for the donkey.
It was already dawn, but Chen Jiang hadn't come yet, so she didn't wait any longer and started driving the donkey cart with the pancakes.
It was still early, but I still met a few people, and they all knew that she didn't like to talk, and no one paid attention to her.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, we tied up the donkey and went up the mountain quickly.
There are quite a few other trees, and this is it today.
Chen Jiang was anxious. But the work at home was about to be finished, so he urged his younger siblings to hurry up.
Chen Miao bent over and worked continuously for two hours, but there were not many tree bark left here. Worried about the little donkey, he collected all the tree bark and ran down the mountain.
All the squid are placed in the car and it is already full. Let's take it back. We can go back again today.
I walked back and saw my brother running towards me.
"Third sister, today my mother asked me to finish grinding the corn before I can come out."
"It's okay, it's okay. Get in the car."
When the two sisters returned home, Chen Jiang helped carry them, and Chen Miao went in to boil water. People wanted to drink, and the little donkey also wanted to drink.
I felt lucky again. Fortunately, there was a well in the yard. Otherwise, I would have to go so far to fetch water. My shoulders hurt just thinking about it.
He asked Chen Jiang to eat two pancakes and drove the donkey cart to the foot of the mountain again.
"This girl Chen Miao is quiet. According to this idea, a person can live a good life alone."
A mean-looking woman curled her lips, "But you can't die even if you get up. Isn't that what you have to do to live?"
"Daliang's wife, you are so mouthy."
Many people in the village were talking about Chen Miao, and her mother also heard the news. But there was no expression on her face, and she didn't take it seriously. They were already married, and after all, they still gave her money, and they had nothing to do with her in the future.
.
He also knew that it was their brother and sister's business if Chen Jiang went to work. As long as the boy did the work at home, he could do it for his sister if he was willing.
Chen Miao asked Chen Jiang to stay and watch the donkey cart. "Third sister, I'd better go up the mountain. You rest here for a while."
Chen Miao didn't refuse. She walked around the area. This was the sunny side and there were already wild vegetables popping up. Let's pick some to eat.
After waiting for about an hour, she went up the mountain. She knew that there were so many tree barks that Chen Jiang could not carry them down by himself.
