Hard times have room

Chapter 753 So Sleepy
That is to say, they all went out after eating at home. If they didn't eat, they would not be able to hold on after working for so long.

Of course, even if he held on now, Wang Jiandang still felt that his stomach was empty, and the idea of ​​what he had eaten before seemed to be digested by the physical labor just now.

Su Hongying didn't get much better either. Her movements just now were quick and fast, but she also consumed fast. The speed at which she worked was supported by the food she ate before, and the food she ate an hour or two ago, It has been completely digested by her stomach, and just now her stomach screamed twice at an inopportune time.

"Okay, that's all!" Wang Jiandang sat down beside Paulin a little tired, and like Paulin, started to peel the bamboo shoots.

His two thumbs were deliberately left with fingernails. Although they were not very long, they were very hard, and the middle position was a little sharp, which were all traces left during work.

He is very familiar with peeling bamboo shoots. Since he was four or five years old, he has become more sensible and has some strength. After that, every year, every spring, he will do this thing, and it is not uncommon for him to peel for a whole day.

Su Hongying sat on the other side of Bao Lin and used a hatchet to sharpen one end of the bamboo. She used this small section of bamboo to cut the bamboo shoots open. Then she peeled and tore the bamboo shoots with one hand, and the bamboo shoots were easily removed by her.

The family was busy for more than half an hour before removing half of the bamboo shoots. The remaining half, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang, packed them in bags, tied them with ropes, and finally chopped two bamboos with a hatchet. The two picked the bamboo back.

Paulin was carrying the sack she brought when she came, which contained tender white bamboo shoots that had been stripped of their bamboo shoots. Because the things in the sack were not light, it was very difficult for her to carry them.

"Hum hum hum" carrying the basket back home, Paulin couldn't take a rest, and immediately started cooking.

I used the rice and peanuts soaked before, and boiled half a pot of porridge. After only ten minutes, the rice in the pot bloomed and the peanuts became soft and glutinous.

Pauline used a spoon to fish out the thickest and thickest porridge at the bottom, and the remaining porridge water was used to scald wild vegetables.

Paulin just ate a little casually. She didn't exercise vigorously, but she didn't feel too hungry. Besides, her next job was to peel, scald, and dry the bamboo shoots at home. It wasn't tiring, it just took some time. , so you don't have to eat that much.

Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying ate very quickly. After eating a bowl of hot porridge and a bowl of wild vegetable soup, the original fatigue seemed to disappear with the hot porridge and sink into the stomach. They were busy day by day. Isn't that what you eat?Now that I have eaten, I have food in my stomach, that is called satisfaction.

Their family is not bad, there are few people, even if the food at home is not too much, and even in the bottom of the whole Shanghe Village, the average amount of food distributed to each person is not too small.

Now that spring is coming, there are many things like wild vegetables, mushrooms and bamboo shoots, which are mixed with the food at home, so they can eat four meals a day. Although there is not much food in their stomachs, it is no problem to fill their stomachs with wild vegetables and mushrooms. It is very tiring to work every day. If you don't eat four meals and fill your stomach with something to coax it, it will be too sad.

After drinking the porridge, they directly took a small stool and sat next to the main room against the wall, with their backs leaning against the wall, their eyes closed and their expressions relaxed.

I've been busy all day, and when the bell rings, I'm going to work again, which means I can relax now.

If Pauline wasn't at home, the husband and wife should have been pushing themselves to cook and get food just now. Everything at home needs the husband and wife to manage, even if they are tired from work, there is nothing they can do. So, there are still some advantages to having a daughter at home.

"Mom and dad, you are so tired now, go to bed first, and I'll call you right away when the bell rings." Paulin saw her parents' heads a little bit, she wanted to sleep but was struggling As if he couldn't sleep, he said quickly.

Her parents couldn't be more sleepy, but because they didn't know how long it was until they got to work, they didn't know when the hanging iron piece would be knocked, so they were still here to hold on.

This is the disadvantage of not having a clock at home and not knowing the specific time. Watches are unaffordable. Ordinary domestic watches require tickets, which are not ordinary, and foreign brands require foreign exchange rolls. I can't afford it, but if you are talking about clocks, you may be able to get them back next year.

"That's okay, let's go to bed first, and when the captain knocks on the iron, you must remember to wake us up!" Su Hongying only thought about it for a moment before making a decision. She was really sleepy.

After she finished speaking, she stood up directly, pulled Wang Jiandang up by the way, yawned, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked like a tearful image.

Wang Jiandang also obeyed his daughter-in-law's strength and stood up, but he was also sleepy.

Pauline wasn't sleepy, so she didn't go to bed, but sat on a small bench in the yard peeling bamboo shoots. The spring sun shone on her body, which only made her feel warm. As for the scorching feeling in summer, she Didn't feel it at all.

It should still be early spring, and the act of basking in the sun is a kind of enjoyment. Even when the sun is the strongest and the temperature is the highest in the day, she can safely and properly sit under the unshielded sun, with a small wind blowing, In her mouth, she hummed a minor tune that could not be made into a tune, and hummed it if she wanted to. Sometimes she herself didn't know what she was humming.

When Wang Dongmei came to Baolin's yard, she saw Baolin with her back to the sun, humming and snorting, as she leisurely peeled bamboo shoots.

Pauline now looks like a quiet time, but, looking at the surrounding scenery, you can see that all this is an illusion, mottled walls, low houses, thatched roofs, tattered The rotten small courtyard, all of this shows that this is a family that has not even solved the problem of food and clothing, and can't even fill the stomach.

"Paulin." Wang Dongmei entered the yard through the open bamboo fence, and called out when she was only five or six meters away from Baolin.

She hadn't seen Pauline for a long time. The more and more housework and the more clingy two little guys made her physically and mentally exhausted.

Her life is filled with these trivial things every day. Only at night, before she closes her eyes and goes to bed, can she have time to reminisce about the time she used to play carefree with her friends. People miss, obviously, she is such a person.
