With a Door In Mind

The two of them came to the river, and there were already some half-year-old children playing hogweed here. These children are children who cannot go to work and do not go to school.

"This river is too small." Looking up, the river was at least twenty meters wide, and the dam was seven or eight meters high, but there was only a small part of the water in the river.

Visual inspection, it is estimated that the deep place will reach the child's knee, and the shallow place, the cushion stone can reach the opposite side.

But that's right, according to records, this drought has been showing signs since the end of 1958.

Some people are hunting hogweed by the river, and some people have already done it, playing with water and touching snails by the river.

These days, it is rare to eat meat several times throughout the year, so the snails and fish and shrimp in the river have also become necessities to improve the food.

However, the river is nearly dry, and with repeated fishing, only a few bits and pieces can be found, which is better than nothing.

Looking up, he saw his younger brother staring at the children playing in the river, and eagerly wanted to run over and play together.

You can only quickly stop it.

"Brother, let's fight hogweed first, let's play after a while."

Hearing his brother's words, Jiang Xiaohe could only go to catch up.

It is now in early September, and the autumn harvest is about a month away.

In my memory, it seems to be the dining hall that started after the autumn harvest. However, each place is different, so there may be a gap in time, but it is not the same as how long.

During this time, I have to find a way, but I can't starve myself to death for more than a month. Moreover, he had to take care of his younger brother. If he was gone, his younger brother would not be able to survive the three-year drought period.

Now that I have space, it is impossible to starve myself to death. But thinking of the group of people at home, I have no interest in feeding these white-eyed wolves.

What a pity!

Soon, the two of them had two baskets full of hogweed, and at the urging of their impatient younger brother, the two went down into the creek and began to hunt for treasures.

After groping for a while, there was only a handful of gains. Seeing that the other little friends in the village were far away and would not find anything, he began to activate his abilities.

Many mussels are buried in the sand, which is difficult for others to find, but for him it is easy to find.

After a while, the two caught about a dozen big and fat mussels, and even a few crabs.

Looking at the dozen or so big and fat mussels that the two of them were carrying, he wondered if he could directly put things into that space.

Secretly pulling a mussel in his mind, thinking about putting it in.

"Whoosh..."

The mussel disappeared instantly.

"It actually works." Seeing this situation, Jiang Xiaochuan was fiercely excited. In this way, you don't have to go in, you can directly put things in. It's so convenient.

Taking advantage of my brother's inattentiveness, he collected while digging.

Jiang Xiaohe was playing happily on the side, not paying attention to his brother's little movements.

Looking at the two dozen or so big and fat mussels, they should take it as soon as they are ready. "Xiaohe, okay, it's time to go back. That's enough for a meal at home."

Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaohe said aggrievedly, "Brother, do you have to take these back? We can't eat much."

Seeing his brother's aggrieved expression, he said with a smile, "Hehe, Xiaohe, if you don't put oil or salt on this thing, it will be very hard to eat. And do you have a pot?"

Jiang Xiaohe thought about it for a while, and yes, he didn't have any seasoning or pot either. I can only mumble, "It seems that they can only be cheaper"

"Okay, in a few days, wait for my brother to find a way to get the seasonings and pots, and my brother will secretly open a small stove for you." He rubbed his brother's head and comforted with a smile.

Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaohe asked excitedly. "real?"

"Can I lie to you?" He rubbed his head with a smile.

However, he did plan to secretly change a pot and a little seasoning. Iron pots don't need to be thought about. In these days, the output of iron is small, so the price is very expensive. I just can't afford the mussels and the iron pot. Buy a clay pot at most.

Place the mussels at the bottom of the hogweed basket so they can be covered.

Now that the autumn grains have not yet come down, and when the green and yellow are not available, the grains of each family are almost bottomed out. What's more, these river mussels are a meat dish no matter what. He still understands the truth of guilt.

These mussels may have been better before, but since the rain this year, the mussels have been dug one after another. The rest are either hidden deep, or are small and meatless.

It has been a long time since I dug so many big river mussels.

The two packed up and hurried home.

As soon as they entered the door, the two of them hadn't spoken yet. Grandma Jiang, who was standing on the doorstep, scolded, "Two little brats, does it take so long to fight a pig? What are you doing outside?"

Hearing Grandma Jiang's scolding, Jiang Xiaochuan frowned and secretly put away half of the mussels in the basket. If it weren't for the fear of his brother finding out, he would even want to keep only two or three.

Knowing that his arms can't twist his thighs, Jiang Xiaochuan could only be soft at this time, and said with a smile, "Grandma, we are digging mussels by the river, and we have dug a dozen or so."

Hearing his words, Grandma Jiang's face looked a little better. Hastened to take the two baskets.

When she saw the seventeen or eight big river mussels placed at the bottom of the basket, Grandma Jiang's eyes opened with a smile, and she gently said to the two of them, "Yes, they are all good children. Your dad and your brother are so tired from working every day. These can make up for them."

"And your sister spends a lot of time studying, so you should make up for it."

Everyone in the family was repeated, except that his mother was also working, and his brothers had the least food at all.

As if feeling the thoughts in Jiang Xiaochuan's heart, Grandma Jiang said again, "Your mother and you are also working hard, and we have to make up for it."

"Get a few a day, boil some soup, and raise the rest, you can eat them for three or four days."

While muttering, he walked to the kitchen with the basket.

Hearing his words, Jiang Xiaochuan smiled coldly. The seven or eight old hens raised at home laid so many eggs, and he came here for two or three years, and he ate no more than ten eggs in total.

The reason is not that whoever has to do heavy work in the family, or whoever has to study, spends their brains, and needs to make up for it.

Both brothers have forgotten the last time they ate eggs. Almost forgot the taste of eggs.

I don't know because I was afraid that the two would be unlucky and the pig would have diarrhea. Still afraid that there is a reason to eat more meat when slaughtering pigs. Fortunately, the work of cooking pig food was not for the two of them.

Moreover, the two of them are usually not involved in raising pigs and chickens at home.

Of course, every time I eat these things, I naturally don't have two people's share. At most, others eat meat, and two people drink soup.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

He looked at the mussels in the space, worried that they would die of lack of water. Gotta find a way to get a basin and water.

Seeing that my brother had already run back to the house, he wandered around the yard and saw a small cracked water tank in the corner.

Although it is broken, it can still hold a lot of water, and it is no problem to put dozens of mussels.

He glanced around and saw that there was no one nearby, and everyone in the family was busy with their own business, and instantly put the water and tank into the space.

Looking at the removed new soil in the original position, there were a few bugs crawling out of it.

Thinking that if you don't clear the relationship now, the two of your brothers will inevitably be implicated.

He rolled his eyes and shouted to the house, "Grandma, grandma, come here, why is there no water tank here."

"What? Lost the water tank?" Grandma Jiang, who was happily playing with mussels in the house, heard his shout and hurried over.

Looking at the place where the water tank was originally placed, there was nothing there.

Grandma Jiang cursed at Jiang Xiaochuan with an ugly face, "Little bunny, did you lose the water tank?"

He had expected this for a long time, and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, you see that the soil is new, and the bugs are still creeping up, which means that it hasn't been moved away for a long time. We went out to hunt hogweed in the afternoon and just came back."

"Besides, grandma, look at my small body, how can I move the water tank?"

Speaking of which, Grandma Jiang no longer doubted him, but she still said with a cold face, "What do you mean by that, are you saying that our family won't give you food or drink?"

Jiang Xiaochuan choked upon hearing her words. He hurriedly said angrily, "Without grandma, I mean I'm still too young"

"Hmph... It's not too bad. We'll be serving delicious food and drink. I'll go next door to see it." Grandma Jiang snorted coldly, and walked out of the yard after speaking.

Jiang Xiaochuan was enraged when he heard her words. But he couldn't justify it, otherwise the trouble would get bigger.

After a while, scolding came from several houses next door one after another. I don't know if they were scolding the thief who stole things, or they were scolding the neighbors.

"We can't afford to provoke this kind of person, scold, scold, anyway, I'm used to it," Jiang Xiaochuan murmured and walked towards his room.

Back in the room, my brother was holding a pair of little wooden figures and was having a great time playing there.

Sitting on the bed, he felt that his current life was really boring. There was no mobile phone, no TV, and no toys. Nothing at all. I don't even have a book, and I don't know what to use to pass the time.

Thinking about the mussels in the space, he made an excuse to go to the toilet, came to the back of Chai Dui in the corner of the yard, and dodged into the space.

Few people come here, even if they want to get firewood, they will only get it from the front.

After entering the space, put the mussels all over the ground into the water tank. After a few minutes, he came out again. If you stay in it for a long time, it is easy to reveal the stuffing.

Just stepping into the house, Jiang Xiaohe asked suspiciously, "Brother, why did you come back so soon?"

"What's wrong? I've been out for a few minutes. It's still slow." Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned when he heard his brother's words.

"Nonsense, just come in after you go out," Jiang Xiaohe muttered, then he stopped asking, and lowered his head to play with his little wooden figurine.

Hearing his brother's words, he was startled, and cold sweat broke out from behind him.

I thought to myself that I would go out and pick up dozens of mussels and put them away, wash my hands, and it would take a few minutes anyway. Plus I waited for a few more minutes, how could I go out and come in.

Seeing that his brother didn't ask any more questions, Jiang Xiaochuan was relieved. Then a surprise came to mind.

time

It is estimated that time in space is different from time in the outside world.

But it was a good thing for him.

In this way, I can have time to do more things in the space in the future. But without a watch, I don't know what the specific situation is, and I can only try again later when I have the opportunity.

But today also gave him a wake-up call, so he has to be careful in the future.

Lying on the bed, his body was already weak, he was beaten, and then he went out to hunt hogweed. It is estimated that I didn't sleep for half an hour at noon, and now the sleepiness is sweeping over. He turned his head and fell asleep.

The younger brother next to him saw that his elder brother was asleep and knew that he was very tired today, so he did not disturb him.

This sleep was particularly deadly.

"Xiao Chuan got up, got up to eat."

In a daze, he heard someone calling him, and his body was gently pushed by someone.

Opening his eyes, a middle-aged woman came into view.

Through memory, he knew that the other party was the mother of his original body, Yang Yuemei.

She was only thirty-four or five years old, and she was already old like someone in her forties.

There's no way, every day the wind and the sun, coupled with hard work, can you not get old?

Looking at the woman in front of him reminded him of his mother. He smiled and said, "Mother, come back."

"Well, I'm back, get up quickly, go to eat, do you still hurt? I'll take a look."

It seems that my mother already knew about her being beaten.

"It's not a big deal, it's not the first time anyway," Jiang Xiaochuan said with a wry smile.

Mother Yang Yuemei was stunned when she heard the words, and then she didn't speak again in guilt.

Looking at the other party's expression, Jiang Xiaochuan comforted him, "Mother, it's alright, let's go, let's go eat." After that, he got out of bed.

Walking towards the dining table in the main room. Mother Yang Yuemei followed behind to the main room.

When I came to the dining hall, a group of people had already eaten in the room. The one sitting at the top was an old man who looked to be around forty or fifty years old. This man was his stepfather Jiang Dahai.

As the head of the family, you should sit at the top.

The first person sitting on the right hand is Grandma Jiang, who is holding Lao Qi Jiang Weimin. Sitting next to her is the third sister Jiang Weiying.

As for the left side, the eldest brother and the second brother are naturally sitting

Although the eldest and the second have built a house next to them, they still eat and drink together because there is no separation.

As for Jiang Xiaochuan and Jiang Xiaohe brothers, they could only sit at the bottom.

It only takes a moment to look at a few people. Then he retracted his gaze and shouted to the old man on the main seat, "Dad, milk, I'm here."

"Well, let's eat." Jiang Dahai replied with his expression unchanged, and he didn't care about the bruises on his face.

And Grandma Jiang ignored him and continued to feed her little grandson.

"Mother, give me the child, you eat first," Yang Yuemei said to Grandma Jiang.

Grandma Jiang frowned and said out of breath, "Let's eat your meal."

Seeing this, Yang Yuemei took a loving glance at the youngest son in Grandma Jiang's arms. She knew that the other party didn't want the child to be too close to her.

So he picked up the bowl on the table and started to eat.

In this day and age, the rules are still quite strict, no one eats or sleeps, and before the head of the family, Jiang Dahai, does not dare to chat while eating.

At this time, Jiang Xiaochuan was already sitting beside Jiang Xiaohe who was winking at him.

Picking up the rice bowl, he looked at the rice in the bowl, and then he glanced at everyone's bowls.

Dinner was corn and sweet potato porridge, but there was only a small piece of sweet potato in the bowl of myself and my brother. The cornmeal is only a shallow layer at the bottom of the bowl.

My mother's bowl is better than my own, but it's not much better.

As for the others, the head of the family, Jiang Dahai, naturally has a bowl full of thick dry goods, and the others are at least half a bowl.

Jiang Xiaochuan wrote about his fist, but he didn't care. Even my mother who worked all day. How can the body eat it.

Looking at the already thin and weak mother, he once doubted how she did such a heavy farm work.

But there is no way. I don't have the ability to solve this problem now, unless I separate, but it's easier said than done.

Not to mention that there is no way for me to split up the family now, even if I get to the age where I can split up, few people will not allow it. After all, how could they let go of free labor.

In this era when the kindness of life and support is greater than that of the sky, if there is no valid reason, people will be stabbed in the spine if you go out.

I can only wait a few more days to find a way to make up for a few people.

The thin bowl of porridge fell into the stomach in three or two strokes, and the others also finished their meals.

At this time, Grandma Jiang brought out a milky white soup in a clay pot.

He knew that this should be the mussel soup he caught today.

Sure enough, Grandma Jiang said, "This is the mussel that Xiaochuan caught in the river today. I'll make it up for you."

After speaking, the soup was distributed to several people in order.

According to their family status, each person will be more or less given a bowl of soup and a few pieces of mussel meat.

Maybe today's river mussels are the reason why he got them. Grandma Jiang rarely beat him a few more pieces of river mussels. Although not as many as others.

But when it was the turn of mother and brother, there was only half a bowl of soup, and there was not even a piece of mussel meat.

Mother seems to be used to this. The younger brother looked at himself aggrieved, and he secretly squeezed his younger brother's hand. Signal him not to worry.

After the mother and younger brother finished drinking the soup, he just took a few sips and poured the soup into the bowls of his younger brother and mother.

Jiang Dahai and Grandma Jiang did not speak when they saw this scene.

But some people couldn't help it.

The second brother Jiang Weijun sneered and said, "Jiang Xiaochuan, if you don't like grandma's cooking, you can give it to your second brother. You can see that the second brother has worked for a day. You can't do it without some nutrition."

The third sister, Jiang Weiying, also followed behind, "Yeah, Xiaohe doesn't have to work, so why would he eat so well? If you can't, just give it to me. You see, I read books all day long, it's very mind-blowing."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan secretly smiled contemptuously~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then said with a smile, "Second brother, Xiaohe is growing, and he won't grow taller if he doesn't eat. He doesn't have the strength to do farm work. Next time, next time. If I don't drink it, give it to the second brother."

Hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's soft words, the second oldest Jiang Weijun frowned. How does this make him answer? "Okay, that's what you said, grandma, you heard me."

When Grandma Jiang heard this, she immediately responded with a smile. "My dear grandson, I heard that, Xiaochuan, next time you can't finish drinking, remember to give it to your second brother in advance. This is what you promised."

Jiang Xiaochuan stopped his mother who was about to speak with his eyes, and then said with a smile, "Okay, I will give it to my second brother if I can't finish it." As for whether to drink or not, it is not up to you to decide.

As if she knew what he was thinking, Grandma Jiang sneered, thinking in her heart, it's not up to me how much to call you.

The old third Jiang Weiying next to him muttered, "I think you don't want to give us a drink."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan didn't say anything, he just ignored him anyway.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Weiying said coquettishly to Grandma Jiang, "Grandma, look at him and ignore me. It's not polite at all."

Before Grandma Jiang could reply, Jiang Dahai on the main table said impatiently, "Okay. Go back to bed after dinner."

Jiang Weiying stopped talking when she heard this.

Well, looking at this expression, the beam is formed again. Jiang Xiaochuan murmured in his heart.

As for the eldest Jiang Weiguo, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. As the eldest son, he has always had a high status, and he doesn't need to lower his face to fight for something. Even the daughter-in-law and son are given preferential treatment.

The second daughter-in-law didn't dare to say anything because she was just getting started.

A meal just broke up like this, leaving a mess all over the place. Naturally, it was the mother Yang Yuemei who cleaned it up.
