Hard times have room

Chapter 346

For the next hour or so, Pauline recounted her life alone at home. The parents next to her just listened, interrupting from time to time to express her own opinions, until the multigrain porridge in the iron pot was boiled soft. Rotten flowers.

Bao Lin's mouth was almost dry, and the movements of her hands did not stop, and the fire was burning vigorously.

"Okay, that's all, I don't know what to say if you ask me again. Let's eat first!" After Pauline finished speaking, she lifted the sturdy wooden lid, took a deep breath, and smiled. said intentionally.

Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying were able to endure it before. After all, it was the vague taste. Although it was intriguing, they still spared no effort in inquiring about Paulin, and did not want to miss the slightest bit.

Now, as soon as the lid of the pot is lifted, the fragrance of the food comes out to the nostrils, and it is impossible to remain indifferent.

"Okay, listen to you, eat first." Wang Jiandang's throat swallowed unconsciously. When he noticed it, he turned his head and his ears turned red unconsciously.

At this point, he could only try his best to comfort himself in his heart, but they didn't see it.

At this time, his timidity was the biggest mistake, destroying his "perfect" image in front of his wife and daughter.

Bao Lin and Su Hongying looked at each other, and everything was silent.

After the family finished their "breakfast", Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang also, at Baolin's request, talked about what they had experienced in Hutou Ao.

"That tree is really big and there are many. On the first day we went there, we lived in the house specially vacated for us by the villagers in Hutoou Ao at night, and we ate half-dried multi-grain porridge, although it had no taste. You did a good job, but not too bad."

"In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, our task came, first to cut down the trees."

"Paulin, let me tell you, the tree there is quite big, it's not smaller than the big tree in Daqingling, the axe and sickle in his hand are still transferred from the county. It's neat and powerful." When he said this, Wang Jiandang waved his hands, as if he was recalling the feeling of having an axe in his hand at that time.

"Unfortunately, before we came back, the sharp axes, scythes, and sickles were all collected. If we could bring one or two back, we would save a lot of energy after working!"

As soon as Wang Jiandang finished speaking, Su Hongying's reprimands followed.

"You're dreaming. It's this time, and you're still thinking about that stuff. I tell you, I don't want to go to that damn place at all."

"It's almost winter, there are still many bugs, centipedes, scorpions and spiders, people will be scared to death."

"The place where I live is shabby and rotten. When it's cold, when the wind blows, the quilt can't be warmed all night. When it rains, it's wet everywhere, and it leaks all day. , there's not even a place to stay."

Speaking of the Hutou Au that she stayed at before, Su Hongying complained a lot, not because she was picky, but because the environment was so bad, she didn't know how many times worse than Shanghe Village.

When she was free, she went to see it. There were not many fields, and they were all surrounded by mountains, one after another, and they couldn't see the end when they stood on the high ground. It was hard for the car to take them there.

Oh, yes, before they were delivered, they were put down on a sheep-intestine trail. On one side of the trail was an untouched highland, and on the other side was a cliff. People would be scared to death.

That road, before she walked over, her legs were weak. If it wasn't for the Jiandang grabbing her shoulders from behind, it's uncertain whether she would be able to pass!

That's it, when she returns, she has to go again. She doesn't want to go to that ghost place again in her life.

"Ah, are the conditions so bad?" Pauline said with some "surprise".

In fact, I have long known that these are all routine operations. The current countryside is not the countryside of the future. If nothing else, the situation in Shanghe Village is actually not much better than that in that place.

If they want to vacate the house, it must be the worst and the worst. After all, it is a good house, but they want to live there. If it is damaged and dirty, it will be their own distress.

Besides, her parents go there to dig other people's mines and chop down other people's trees. Although they can't refuse the call of the organization above, it is not easy to find something for those people who come here. thing.

Under such circumstances, it is strange to be able to live happily.

"Of course, I haven't finished talking about this yet. Let me tell you, that place is really out of the way. A village with a hundred or so people does not have a village in front of it or a store in the back. It is surrounded by four hills. Going out, that road is difficult to walk!"

"Anyway, I haven't been out since I went in, and the same is true of your father. Fortunately, we brought some food ourselves, and we survived the initial period of time. After that, we became familiar with it and slowly explored the I have wild vegetables and fruits, and I can add something to eat to keep my stomach full.”

"You must know that we go out early and come back late every day. How can we eat just that little porridge and water!"

Speaking of this, Su Hongying's words were not without joy. If they had not prepared in advance and brought a lot of things with them, they would have been so sad in the beginning!
"Oh, by the way, and the things you sent us later, as expected of my daughter, those things of yours are very useful. It was fine before, but after that the porridge became thinner and thinner. Your dad and I depend on it. The dried sweet potatoes you sent are to fill your stomach."

"Hey, Mom, you and Dad are really guilty. Do you want to take a bath? I'll boil water for you first. It won't take long." Noticing that Su Hongying's body was twisting unnaturally, Pauline was very kind. asked understandably.

Speaking of which, Pauline already knew that they lived in the place in general, and it would be good if they returned safely.

In other words, her parents have stayed in the place for so long, and it is very likely that she needs to live with people from the village or even people from other villages.

"Then go quickly. You're used to it before and don't feel anything. Now when you come home, you won't feel comfortable anywhere. It's better to take a shower." While speaking, Su Hongying twisted her back again, feeling her body It seems to be very itchy.

As soon as Paulin left, Wang Jiandang couldn't help turning his head to Su Hongying and asked, "Daughter-in-law, you won't be infected with lice, right?"

Seeing that Su Hongying's hand stretched back hard, but was blocked by thick clothes, Wang Jiandang couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Fart, who has lice, I haven't bathed for a long time, and it's itchy." Su Hongying refused to admit this. If she did, she would not be laughed to death by the father and daughter.
