Transmigrated into the original heroine of the period novel who was cannon fodder

Chapter 356: Milk, why have you lost weight?

Just as Gu Si thought, or rather, just as everyone expected, Second Aunt Pei's life was indeed not easy.

At that time, after being "scared" away by Uncle Pei, Aunt Pei and her family were too scared to go back to the Pei family, so she stayed at her family's home and began to work like a slave without any regrets.

She had no intention of staying there permanently when she first returned to her parents' home. The snacks, cigarettes, alcohol and food she brought back were all for honoring her parents' family, but she had not prepared any change of clothes or food for herself. Now that she remembered to eat at her parents' home, her mother even found her some change of clothes...

She was deeply touched and became more willing to work hard.

She was busy preparing three meals a day, but when she finished cleaning up and went to eat, she found the table a mess and there was nothing to eat.

But the door of the grain room was locked, and my mother, who had the key, had already fallen asleep on the bed.

Second Aunt Pei wanted to call her mother but didn't dare to. She was a little hesitant, then she saw her brother and sister-in-law wearing the thin jacket that Lingxi had made for her after the temperature returned after the Chinese New Year, and they were carrying a pile of clothes that was taller than her and coming to the well.

"Fourth sister, mother said you can wash these clothes if you have nothing to do."

Aunt Pei looked down blankly at the patched coat her mother had found for her to change into, and then she remembered that she was still hungry.

"not me……"

"Fourth sister, mom said that even if you get married, you are still our aunt. You used to do these chores at home. This time, we won't be polite to you. We are all family, so you should wash these too!"

This is because my mother’s family doesn’t consider me an outsider!
Logically, she should be moved, but why did Aunt Pei still feel that something was wrong? !

She nodded, forgetting that she had not eaten yet, and wanted to boil some hot water, but was stopped by her sister-in-law.

"Fourth sister, we use cold water to wash clothes. The water from the well is warm and won't freeze us..." As she said this, she wiped away another tear.

"This whole family has not recovered from being struck by lightning last time. How can we collect firewood? There is only so much firewood at home. How can we afford to waste it?"

Aunt Pei looked embarrassed for a moment, then nodded and drew some well water. The water looked freezing, and she shivered when she put her hand in the icy water.

She hasn't washed clothes in cold water for years when her hands were frozen...

She didn't know how long it took her to finish washing. She was cold and hungry. Thinking that there was no firewood at home, she looked at her father and brother who were weaving baskets, and then at her nephews and nieces who were reading seriously. She found an axe and went out with a backpack.

However, she didn't know that as soon as she left, everyone in the house who was doing their own things put down what they were doing, quietly bolted the door, and went back to knead the dough, cut the noodles, and stir-fry the meat, and started cooking.

By the time Aunt Pei came back with a basket of firewood, it was almost dark, and her mother hurriedly brought a bowl of vegetable porridge.

"Fourth sister, I thought you were going home! You went to chop wood!

You said this...

They have all finished eating, and I am the only one who eats late. I will give you half of the porridge, so you can eat it to fill your stomach."

Aunt Pei drank a bowl of bran, wild vegetables, radish tops and some other miscellaneous stuff. She felt so sick that she almost vomited. But she was so hungry that she thought this was her mother's food, so she suppressed her hunger and left half a bowl.

I was so moved that my eyes were filled with tears.

The old lady also comforted her.

"It's okay. You are my daughter. Shouldn't I give you something to eat if I leave it for you? Okay, eat your fill and go to sleep!"

Just that half bowl...

Where can I get enough to eat?
Aunt Pei felt upset and annoyed. She thought to herself that she would have to find a way to get some good food back for her mother tomorrow, so she went back to the kitchen.

Aunt Pei built a wooden bed in the kitchen and slept there at night. However, she didn't know that when she went to sleep, the old lady came directly into the house with the remaining half bowl of porridge. She also fed two chickens in the room. That porridge was for chickens.

And - the next day, such a life was waiting for Aunt Pei.

She prepared breakfast in the morning, and she had a bowl of porridge for breakfast. Then she cleaned the house and the yard, and continued to wash clothes...

A few days later, the family heard that the steel plant had started construction and could no longer sit still, so Second Aunt Pei mustered up the courage to go back to the Pei family.

But this time, her family did not follow.

That morning, Lingxi and Gu Si took the three little ones Minghui to play in the mud, oh no, they were tidying up the vegetable garden.

The vegetable garden in the yard was still empty. Lingxi and the others discussed opening up the area to the east of the well and planting some fruits and vegetables.

This time, they only moved some of their commonly used and personal items, but the living room, study, and kitchen were not emptied. On the one hand, Pei Yanning had to run back and forth, and there was no telling when the living room and study would be used. On the other hand, Pei Yu was still in the machinery factory, and he couldn't just turn the yard over there into an empty shell.

Moreover, the yard was built on their own residential land, so they never knew when they would go to the county and would not have time to come back, so they could stay there.

So, there is really nothing to clean up.

Home is a place they are all very familiar with. There is nothing to adapt to, and there are even more things to do. The three little ones are visibly happier.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Gu Si's mental power extended directly over, and the next moment, Lingxi saw a slightly surprised expression on his face.

Lingxi blinked, moved closer and leaned against him, her soul crawled over and she saw that the person she had mentioned two days ago had returned.

"She..." Why is she back now?
Lingxi was a little surprised. She brushed the dirt off her hands and went to open the door.

"Second aunt."

At this moment, I hadn't seen Aunt Pei for a little over a week. She looked like she had aged ten years and had lost a lot of weight.

Minghui heard the noise and came over, not knowing what was going on.

"Grandma, why are you so thin?"

When Aunt Pei heard this, her eyes instantly turned red. She grabbed Lingxi's hand and patted the back of her hand with her other hand, "Lingxi, Aunt Pei has suffered a lot these days. Don't you know how hard your uncle and his family have lived..."

Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then she heard her talk about how difficult life was over there and how much suffering she had gone through these days.

Lingxi: “…”

What should she say?
She couldn't just go along with her wishes and help her parents' family!

She looked shocked and wondered how they could treat you like that. She looked at Aunt Pei.

"Aunt, you've been wronged!"

Lingxi agreed first, but seeing her expectant expression, she suddenly changed the subject.

"Why don't they feel sorry for you?"

Aunt Pei was stunned for a moment.

Lingxi made a start, and the rest is easy.

"Second aunt, we girls are honored guests at our parents' home.

In our family, my elder and second brothers would not let me work hard for them from dawn to dusk. Even Minghui, who is so young, knows that Hanhan is a girl and needs to be taken good care of..."
