Hard times have room

Chapter 444 The most important thing
As soon as Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang came back, they saw Bao Lin who was holding a small jar inside the pumpkin vine to catch bugs under the scorching sun.

Although the two felt a little strange, they didn't say anything, let alone ask, and just went about their own things.

Wang Jiandang couldn't stop. As soon as he got home, he went directly to the back of the house. The sweet potato field was the family's ration for the second half of the year. rattan.

Su Hongying is almost the same as him, except that she has to walk around the house first. Since moving to this small home belonging to their family of three, she has slowly developed this habit.

Her behavior is like an animal patrolling the territory. After the patrol, she went to the backyard like Wang Jiandang to catch insects, just for the quarter of the sweet potato field. , the family's food this year depends on the quarter of the sweet potato field.

As for the people in the team, it's not that she is pessimistic, and it's not that she's not doing her best, but she can see clearly that they can't keep anything.

Without him, there are too many goals. If you can protect this, you can't protect that. I don't know if I can get all the taxes and grains to be paid this year.

You know, the field is now two-to-one, half the harvest in a normal year, and now the insects in the field are not merciful at all, and now there is nearly a month before the summer harvest, and now is the most important time. Duan, how much food can be saved is still unknown.

After Su Hongying went around the kitchen and went to the backyard, Paulin also clapped her hand and stopped. The remaining bugs will be kept for her next time!
Before walking out of the pumpkin vine, Pauline opened the broken pottery jar in her hand. There was already quite a lot in it, at least the bottom was completely occupied, and a lot of them climbed to the edge, intending to escape at any time. .

The moment Pauline opened the lid, the two prepared ladybugs escaped successfully. Pauline quickly closed the lid, took the jar and walked to the kitchen.

She put the jar in the corner and closed the lid tightly. She originally planned to leave it like this, but after thinking about it, she was not at ease. If someone accidentally kicked the jar over, she would not be busy.

Thinking of this, Pauline took the jar and went to the yard again, looking left and right, there was no suitable place, so she went outside again and stopped in a fairly flat place.

This place is already a hundred meters away from her home, which is not too close.

Pauline first shook the pottery pot in her hand vigorously, trying to shake the bugs inside so that she could move on later.

After shaking it for about ten times, Paulin slammed open the lid and dumped all the bugs inside on the stone. Then, she stretched out her straw sandal foot, stepped on it violently, rolled her foot hard, and then slipped again. , the bugs under her feet have basically been crushed.

The remaining few fell a bit far away, or they struggled to escape by themselves and escaped. No one was stepped on, and Pauline didn't let them go. She crushed her feet several times, and all the insects on the stone became cold.

After finishing this, Pauline nodded in satisfaction, then clapped her hands and went back with the clay pot, only the rubble on the stone was left, don't worry about that, there are so many bugs out there now, if you wake up early tomorrow, there should be no traces. are gone.

Back in the kitchen, Pauline first soaked the mushrooms that had been cleaned before, and then tore them open one by one, as long as they were bigger ones, small ones, don't worry about them, just put them in the pot and boil them later. .

There are still two sweet potatoes at home, and Pauline is not willing to make them. She saves them to eat later. For lunch, it will be mushroom soup.

Pauline put the oil in the pot reluctantly. There is not much oil left in the oil jar at home. It only takes two times for cooking. If you put a little oil in cooking or stewing, it can last for one to three months. Well, it depends on whether the hand is loose or tight.

It took half an hour for Pauline to prepare the lunch. The main reason was that she spent more time cooking the mushrooms. Pauline has always maintained a cautious attitude towards such uncooked and poisonous things. During the period, water was added once, and it was boiled for about ten, twenty, 10 minutes, and it was guaranteed to be thoroughly cooked.

As soon as Paulin made lunch, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang followed the smell and came to the kitchen. The two washed their hands by scooping water beside the kitchen sink. Polite.

The two even almost fought over who would make the soup first, but Su Hongying glanced at him. She had been dominated by hunger before, and Wang Jiandang, who was much more daring, instantly shrank back. Obviously, he couldn't resist.

Pauline wasn't in a hurry at all. When her parents had filled a bowl of mushroom soup, she picked up the spoon in the pot in a hurry.

As soon as Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang made the mushroom soup, they endured the scalding and sucked a mouthful of soup. When they reached the temperature they thought they could bear, they swallowed the mushroom soup in their mouths in one gulp, their throats became hot, and their eyes couldn't help but turn up, but they held back and didn't cry out.

After this lesson, the two of them brought the bowl to the main room honestly. After sitting down, they used the chopsticks in their right hands to pick up a piece of stewed and soft mushrooms and blew it on their mouths. Then, put it in your mouth.

When they actually ate the food into their stomachs, the eyes of the two of them habitually brightened, and then they moved faster to reach the big bowl in front of them.

After a while, the bowl of mushroom soup that had just come out of the pot entered the stomach of the two of them whole, so the two who were not full at all set off with the bowl and went to the kitchen.

When the soup was being served just now, the two of them saw that there was a large iron pot full of mushroom soup, enough for a family of three to eat, so the two of them didn't have to pretend to be polite, let alone take care of Pauline, she herself able to feed themselves.

After eating, Paulin first went back to her room, waddled on her bamboo bed for a while, and then got up with difficulty.

When she didn't lie down before, when she didn't rest, Pauline felt that her state was okay, but as soon as she lay down and rested, the sleepiness and tiredness grabbed her hard and wanted to drag her into the pit. At the juncture, she sat up directly, then got out of bed, went to the kitchen to wash her face with cold water, maybe, she has been dragged into dreamland now, or the kind that sleeps until dark.

After washing her face, Pauline, who was much more awake, walked back to the main room. Here, she stopped for a moment, and she could clearly hear two kinds of snoring from her parents' house, one big and one small. Pauline just smiled. After smiling, she went out with the basket on her back. It was only this afternoon, and she should go to school tomorrow. No matter how tired she was, she had to endure it and go to school tomorrow to sleep.
