Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 2
Enduring the pain, Zhang Xiaocao picked up the basin thrown on the ground, stood up slowly, glanced at her lightly, walked around her directly into the main room without saying anything.

It's just that the pain in her heart can't be calmed down. This sister doesn't have the slightest sisterly affection for her. When she first came, she tried to get close to this sister in order to live better, but this sister didn't give her a chance at all.

But Zhang Baozhu's heart skipped a beat when she saw this indifferent gaze, like a basin of cold water pouring from her head to her toes in the winter, when she came back to her senses, that figure had long since disappeared, stomping her feet bitterly, cursing at the hall After a few swear words, he turned around angrily and went into his room.

Zhang Xiaocao made the rough noodles quickly, and used a rolling pin to roll them into noodle cakes the size of an adult's palm. After finishing these, he washed the celery given by Grandma Zhang, and scooped out a small bowl of sauce from the miso jar. , and started cooking.

There are two large pots on the stove, and the one next to the stove is used for cooking pancakes, and the one inside is for cooking porridge.

Zhang Xiaocao poured half a pot of water, put the brown rice into the pot, covered the pot, and started frying the pancakes. When all the pancakes were fried, he cut up the celery and fried it.

The meal was ready, and she was not idle. She went to the yard and released the chickens, and blasted them all outside to let them find food by themselves. She picked up a big broom from the corner of the wall, which was longer than her, and swept the chickens in the yard. After sweeping it clean, I took the knife for chopping pigweed, chopped the pigweed that was cut yesterday into pieces, added rice bran and water, mixed it evenly, and poured it into the pig trough. The two were already hungry The big pig ate very happily.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaocao smiled, turned around and went to the stove to wash her hands, and accidentally touched the wound, and there was another sharp pain, but she ignored it, there was no ointment to rub at home, and no one would give her money , asked her to go to Dr. Li in the village to get medicine. After coming here for half a year, she was not uninjured, nor was she infected or infected.

As soon as she got out of the stove house, she heard the soft shouts of children coming from the room. Zhang Xiaocao glanced at Zhang Baozhu's room opposite, and saw that the door was not open, so she had to go in by herself and pushed open the door. .

"Little aunt!"

An immature child's voice sounded timidly.

Zhang Xiaocao looked at the small figure on the kang, her heart softened slightly, and she showed a faint smile.

"Zhuang Zhuang woke up? Come, little aunt will dress you!"

Seeing his little aunt smiling at him, Xiao Zhuangzhuang also showed a shy smile, which made his originally pale face suddenly become lively.

Xiao Zhuangzhuang is the only son of Zhang Baojin, the eldest son of Zhang. He was born prematurely and the family did not have the conditions to take care of him. He has always been weak and sick. He went to his younger uncle Zhang Xiaobao who was the same age as him.

Zhang Xiaocao quickly dressed him, carefully carried him out, took a small chair, let him sit down, and washed his face with clean water.

Xiao Zhuang Zhuang, who was more energetic, looked shyly at his little aunt who was wiping his hands carefully, and said sensiblely, "Thank you, little aunt!"

Zhang Xiaocao patted his head and smiled at him.

Before she could pour out the dirty water, she heard shouts and curses from the main house.

"Zhang Xiaocao, where did you die, why don't you come in and dress me!"

The owner of the voice is Zhang Xiaocao's younger brother, Zhang Xiaobao who is also six years old.

Zhang Xiaocao threw the handkerchief into the basin, told Xiao Zhuang Zhuang a few words, and went to the main house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw something flying towards his head. On the door, it was a pillow.

"Still standing there waiting to die!"

Zhang Xiaobao glared at her angrily, and threw his clothes over.

Zhang Xiaocao took it nonchalantly, and had no intention of talking nonsense with him at all, and just dressed him silently.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to let her wear it honestly, and was about to move around, but was so lightly swept away by a pair of black eyes, his heart suddenly turned cold, and he didn't dare to move around again.

He didn't forget that he deliberately tormented this dead girl before, she just glanced at him lightly like this, and was almost strangled to death by her in the end!
Zhang Xiaocao didn't say anything, put his shoes on with lowered eyes, stood up and went straight out the door...

Zhang Xiaocao was rubbing clothes in the yard, when she heard familiar voices coming from outside the yard, she quickly got up and fetched a basin of clean water and put it on the stones in the yard, so that people who came back from the field could wash it.

The gate of the courtyard was opened, and the first person who entered was a middle-aged woman of about forty years old, with a slightly fat figure, wearing a coarse old clothes and a coarse skirt, her complexion was slightly dark, and she was carrying a basket full of corn on her back. Bangzi, this person is Zhang Xiaocao's mother, Mrs. Zhao.

Then came in a man of about twenty years old, not tall, not muscular, with a fair complexion, but his eyes were moving around restlessly, giving the feeling of sluggishness. He also carried corn cobs on his body. But there is only half a frame. This person is Zhang Baoyin, the second son of the Zhang family.

Zhang Dashan, the head of the Zhang family, came in one by one, a man in his 40s, Zhang Baojin, Zhang's eldest son, in his 20s, and his daughter-in-law, Liu Shi, who followed him.

Several people put down the corn cobs in the big box and dumped them on the ground to dry, and came over to wash their hands and faces.

Zhang Baoyin rushed over first, quickly wiped his face, threw the handkerchief into the basin, drove Xiao Zhuangzhuang off the chair, sat on his own buttocks, and said to his mother Zhao while yelling: " Mother, breaking the corn all morning is really exhausting, I will lie down after eating and go in the afternoon!"

While wiping her face, Mrs. Zhao looked at her precious son with a smile and scolded: "You are just lazy. Now take advantage of the good weather and take back the corn earlier, otherwise it will be difficult when it rains. Wait until the corn is back. You can play however you want!"

Zhang Baoyin wanted to sharpen it again, when he saw Zhang Xiaocao was carrying food from the stove into the main room, and the smell of the dishes wafted, and he immediately regained his energy, ignoring other things, and rushed into the main room quickly, grabbing the food with one hand. Cake, holding chopsticks in one hand and quickly stuffing vegetables into his mouth, as if he hasn't eaten for three days and three nights.

At this time, Zhang Baozhu came out of the room, looked at the ugly second brother, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, look at your eating like a starved ghost reincarnated, who can eat it!"

Zhang Baozhu and this second elder brother are usually at odds. This second elder brother is not as good as the elder brother in studying, and not as good as the elder brother in farming. He is like a baby bump, and he often gives him money to fool around outside. It's better to give her the money and buy more good cloth to make clothes than throw him in the water.
