A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 13 [013] Fifty catties of bean cakes
Thanks to the auntie who brought the hoe and shovel home when she left, the mother took the younger brother with her left hand, picked up the seat (children's chair) with her right hand, and turned her head to Zhuo Lin.

"Follow behind yourself, watch the way, be careful with jio!"

Mrs. Wang carried a cloth bag on her back, in which were picked Chinese toon and wild vegetables dug in the ground, and walked home with her two children carefully.

As I was walking, I passed by a house, and suddenly there was a cry from the house: "Mother, my son is not filial, mother!"

This sudden voice made Zhuo Lin grab Wang's clothes in fright.

These days, the houses of every household are low, without high courtyard walls, and even the sound is so penetrating.

Mrs. Wang probably guessed something, quickly picked up her younger brother, and shouted to Zhuo Lin: "Quick, follow, let's go home quickly."

It was a little hard for her short legs to keep up, but after all, she returned home. After arriving home, her mother put her and her younger brother into the house, poured her and her younger brother a bowl of cool boiled water, and took them out from the river. The Maoyagener (a kind of sweet hairy grass) that came here, after being washed, they are neatly stacked one by one and placed on a plate, which can be eaten by the siblings as snacks.

"Linlin is good, take my brother to see the house for a while, mother will come and go?"

Wang patted her head, and her younger brother had already grabbed the roots of his teeth and gnawed on them. Zhuo Lin was also attracted by the food, so she nodded to Wang indiscriminately.

The root of the hair tooth is very thin, about as thick as vermicelli, a little watery like sugarcane, sweet, and it turns into dry pieces after biting. I used to spit it out, but now that food is scarce, I basically bite It was broken and swallowed in the stomach.

She was very hungry, so when she saw the snacks her mother brought out, she sat in the room with her younger brother obediently and ate Mao Yagen.

I don't know how long it took, the eldest aunt and mother came back together, and the two shook their heads regretfully, with the sadness of a dead rabbit and a fox in their expressions.

"This is the one who starved herself to death. There is only so much food at home. Her granddaughter-in-law is just full moon. The old lady is doing this to save food. If it weren't for the tree roots and grass roots that couldn't eat anymore, I guess it wouldn't be enough." As for, hey,"

"On my way to the town, there was a man in the next village who ate Guanyin soil and his stomach was bloated to death. Also, when I was queuing up to get the package, I heard that there were people who went to grab food because of hunger and were beaten to death. , if our family didn’t have a lot of people, we ran far away, and there was a big strong outside, guessing, "

The uncle couldn't say what to say next, she sighed, and patted Wang's hand, "Stop talking, I'll get you bean cakes."

The uncle sent back fifty catties of bean cakes, one bean cake was five catties, ten in total, and the uncle brought five of them, impartially.

Mother is embarrassed to take so much, "Sister-in-law, listen to me, just give two to our family, and the rest, you can take it to Zhuo Zhuo's grandpa and grandma's house, they need these more than us, it is not easy for elder brother to get these, your family They are all young men who eat a lot, you say, why do we have the nerve to take so much?"

Now that there is a shortage of food, bean cakes may not be available even if you buy them with money. What's more, my uncle brought back the fifty catties of bean cakes, not to mention how much my uncle spent to buy them. They can't take it for granted with people's heart.
