Chapter 141: Survival in the Drought Year (31)

After the family members and Old Uncle Yu also found a bench and sat down, grandma automatically said: "They came back four days ago, carrying the pillars and pumpkins, covered in blood, and the pillars are half stretched, and the pumpkins are better." Son, only one leg was lost... The pillar was out of breath long ago, and the pumpkin was still hanging, and it closed its eyes after calling mother. I heard that it happened when they encountered a tiger."

Grandma wiped her tears, "Ms. Chunhua and I were terrified that night, and I was afraid that something would happen to you too... Fortunately, fortunately, you finally came back safely!"

The old lady was also in tears, and looked at the father aggrievedly, and the father touched his head, looking puzzled, "Mother, motherfucker, don't cry, we are doing well, we and Chen Erhu are together again It's different, we follow Old Uncle Yu, so we don't go hunting tigers, what danger can we have?"

At the end, she still looked puzzled, and the angry grandma slapped her on the back, and then shrank her shoulders honestly and remained silent.

Grandpa sighed, "Let's go to Shuanzi's house later."

Zhuzi is Shuanzi's elder brother. Although he is the eldest brother, their parents have a good relationship and are as close as a family. They have not separated so far.

"You should go and see. Zhuzi's mother is crying every day these days, and her eyes are not good. Zhuzi's daughter-in-law is already very sick, and she probably won't survive for a few days. There are only two children, so young..." The grandma shook Head, no tears on the face, with a look of pity.

The old man nodded along, thinking of something, sadness appeared in his eyes.

Although he was a little ignorant, the adult's atmosphere still affected Goudan. He pursed his mouth, and his little black hands tightly grabbed the old lady's sleeves.

Suning also lowered his head, and only sighed in his heart, hoping that they will have a good pregnancy in their next life.

Most of them, but she would not say that this is their own choice, and naturally they have to bear the price of the choice.

Su Ning speculated that something happened to the original father and grandfather in the previous life, and it was probably the same as the situation at this time. Chen Erhu and others were too greedy, and something happened after all.

The only thing that was better was that Uncle Zhuzi and Uncle Pumpkin were brought back with their bodies, while the Li family, the only family in the village with no relatives, brought back two pieces of clothes.

Thinking of next year's severe drought, the two young children left behind by Uncle Zhuzi, Suning can only say that these two children are much luckier than Yuanchen Chunhua and Goudan, at least they have two grandpas Guarded by an uncle.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Cheng Yongxu's indifferent and cold face, subconsciously put away the emotion on his face, and wanted to ask the egg quietly, is this noodle manager indifferent because he has seen too much life and death, or is he cold-blooded and ruthless?

But thinking of his powerful spiritual power, he couldn't even hide his spiritual power from him, so he gave up.

……

"Okay, Mrs. Chunhua, you are about to give birth, so don't go, it's cold outside, take the two children and Xiao Cheng in, your mother, Dali, and Lao Yu will go and have a look."

After eating something, grandpa smoked a bag of cigarettes, discussed with Old Uncle Yu and brought a roe deer, two chickens and a rabbit, and they went to Uncle Shuanzi's house.

After the old lady and others left, she went to close the door, and then supported her waist, took the hands of Chunhua and Goudan, and beckoned Cheng Yongxu to enter the house.

There is nothing to entertain at home, the stove has already been burned in the house, and there is a kettle sitting on the stove. Suning followed his memory to find the brown sugar at home, and made a bowl of warm, not sweet sugar water to drink.

Children are very forgetful, Goudan has long forgotten the oppressive atmosphere before, pestering Suning about what he saw and heard on the mountain these days.

Su Ning thought about it and had nothing to say, so he simply baked sweet potatoes with Gou Dan while telling him the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

The old woman was sitting on a half-height stool, with a wooden basin in front of the stool, and she was rubbing a corn cob in her hand.

With an idea, Suning went to the cabinet to get a bowl, filled it with half a bowl of corn kernels, and asked his old lady to help lift the kettle down and replace it with a smaller clay pot.

The earthenware pot was heated up, and the water vapor inside was dried, and then the washed corn kernels were poured in, stir-fried until dry, and two brown sugar cubes the size of a fingernail were crushed and sprinkled in, and mixed evenly.

Only then did the lid of the earthenware pot be put on, and a large piece of tree branches was filled into the stove. The fire rose rapidly, and people in the room were sweating very quickly.

"Chunhua, what are you doing?" the old woman asked.

"Mom, I'm cooking something delicious, and I'll give you a taste of the first one later." As soon as Suning finished speaking, Goudan hugged his sister's arm and asked impatiently, "Sister, what about me, what about me? "

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Suning always feels that Goudan seems to be closer to her when he comes back this time.

"The second one is you!"

Only then did Goudan smile with satisfaction.

At this time, there was a crackling sound in the clay pot, which attracted the attention of several people. Goudan hid behind the old lady in fright, and the old lady sat a little away worried, "Chunhua, you don't put water in this clay pot. Is it burnt?"

"Mother, don't be afraid, it's not the sound of a jar cracking." Suning didn't explain, otherwise it would be nothing new.

Cheng Yongxu glanced back and looked away, not sure if he had read it with mental power.

As the crackling sound became more and more intense, a sweet smell filled the room.

Goudan sniffed his nose, drooling almost came out, "Sister, it smells so good, when can I eat it?"

Su Ning said: "Just wait until the sound stops."

As the most violent crackling sound subsided, Suning took out the firewood and poured water in the basin. When the smoke from the firewood dissipated, the clay pot returned to calm.

Under the expectation of Goudan and the old lady, Suning said yes.

The old woman put a cloth on it and took it down, opened the lid, there was a puff of white smoke, and after it cleared, a clay pot full of white and yellow fragrant things was revealed.

The old lady was really surprised, "What is this?"

Suning knocked off Goudan's dirty hand, pinched one and stuffed it into the old lady's mouth, "Is it delicious?"

"I want it too!" Goudan said eagerly.

Su Ning also squeezed two and stuffed them into his mouth, "If you want to eat, go and wash your hands, look at your dirty hands, eat mud in your stomach, you can't sleep because of the pain."

Goudan didn't want to go, but was glared at by the old lady, "Listen to your sister, there is hot water in the pot, go wash it quickly."

Goudan dawdled, and the old lady simply took it with her.

Suning found a wooden plate in the cabinet, poured some popcorn out of the clay pot, and brought it to Cheng Yongxu, "Try it, it's not too sweet, um, it tastes better when it's cold, it's burnt and crunchy."

Cheng Yongxu didn't want to eat it at first, but the little girl in front of him seemed to be able to talk with a pair of expectant eyes, one of which encouraged him, and at some point she stretched out her hand, pinched one and put it into her mouth.

Only then did he realize that the taste was actually very good.

When I came back to my senses, there were only a few scattered ones left on the wooden plate.
