Chapter 20
Standing by the stove and cutting lotus roots into pieces, Su Wangyun heard Su Wangjing's voice and looked back at him in surprise.
"What are you doing?" Su Wangyun asked.
Su Wangjing threw the wooden stick aside and smiled, "What are you doing? Sister, don't sleep at night, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
"You go up the mountain with me tomorrow." Su Wangyun said instead without replying to his words.
"Going up the mountain? What are you doing?" Su Wangjing pointed his head and scratched his head. Before Su Wangyun could return to him, he said to himself,
"But now it's October, and many wild fruits on the mountain are ripe. If you want to pick wild fruits, you can let Su Nianqing and Su Niancheng go with you."
Anyway, he won't go.
Su Wangyun ignored his detour and said that he didn't want to follow him, "Go with me, Xiaoqing and Xiaocheng are at home, get up early, go early and go early."
The mountain is dangerous and there are many snakes and insects, so it is not suitable to take two six-year-old children. Last time I entered the mountain, I saw such a big snake on the mountain, and I don’t know if there are any other wild beasts.
She wanted to pick fresh wild vegetables on the mountain and go earlier. After it was ready, if it was still early, she would take them to the town to sell them.
She now cut the lotus root slices tonight, then mix the seasonings, and then prepare other side dishes tomorrow.
"I won't go."
When Su Wangjing heard that he was about to get up early, he immediately expressed that he was not happy.
As he said that, his eyes noticed the basin and bowl placed beside the stove, which contained white porridge and side dishes.
Su Wangjing curled his lips, thinking of the unhappiness before, he moved over reluctantly, holding a bowl of porridge, and only then could he smell the fragrance of the cold dishes when he approached.
I ate a slice of lotus root and it was crispy and spicy, spreading in my taste buds.
Su Wangjing's eyes lit up suddenly, "It's delicious!"
This one is more delicious than the one I made before, and the seasonings are so fragrant.
"There is still hot water in the pot. I will go to bed after washing. Remember to get up early tomorrow."
Su Wangyun cut the lotus root slices, took a basin and covered them, and walked out as he spoke.
Su Wangjing was still immersed in the food. She had been hungry for the afternoon and now she had a good appetite. In the quiet kitchen, only the sound of him snoring porridge was left.
...
At around four o'clock in the morning, the crescent moon was slightly dewed, and the world was quiet.
When the sky turned slightly white, the siblings were ready to go back from the mountain.
Su Wangjing was dragged up by Su Wangyun Zaozaosheng, and before he even opened his eyes, he was pushed out.
When he arrived on the mountain, the cool breeze blew and the wet and cold breath came to his face, which made him feel a little more awake.
But the suppressed emotions can never dissipate.
Su Wangjing walked in front with a basket on his back, while Su Wangyun walked behind with a basket on his back.
The siblings, one in front and one behind, walked backwards in the morning dew.
Su Wangyun estimated the time and thought about what happened next. After a moment of thinking, she suddenly remembered that she spent all the money she had on yesterday, not a single cent left.
Later, she had to go to the town, so she had no money to buy a train ticket, so she could only walk?
From Ronggen Village to Tongxiang Town, it takes about an hour and a half to get around the bus. If you walk...
She remembered that there was a small path, which would be closer and would take two or three hours to go back and forth.
Su Wangyun frowned slightly, a little annoyed.
Yesterday I just thought about spending money, but I never thought about keeping a little. The last five dollars was spent, but this time I couldn’t squeeze out a penny.
"Wangjing, do you still have money?"
Su Wangyun looked up at the boy walking in front of him and asked.
"No, I won't give it to you if I have it." Su Wangjing was silent.
Back to his small thatched hut, after walking in in a few steps, he turned his head and looked at Su Wangyun holding the wild vegetables in the basket, threw the basket on his back hard, and threw it to the ground. The resentment accumulated in the morning finally erupted.
"You drove me up before dawn just to pick this little wild vegetable? This thing is full of mountains, and no one is too cold to grab this thing from you! You are so anxious to go there, but you are not reincarnated. Are you as for it? I am really fed up with you! You are not a lady from the landlord family, and you have such a big face! You ask me for money? Who gave you a face?"
Su Wangjing shouted at Su Wangyun. Because of his anger, the veins on his neck burst out one by one, staring at his blood-filled eyes, with a ferocious expression, ridiculed, questioned, and asked back.
"You couldn't support us at that time, so you shouldn't have moved out of my nanny's house. You think about yourself, you selfish woman! Now you ask me for money, and you know that you are in trouble? If you really have that intention, go back and coax my nanny and the second uncle. Maybe my nanny is no longer angry, so let us move back. Anyway, I don't care about you anymore. Whoever loves to do these things in the future will do it! Anyway, I don't do it anymore!"
"Bang!"
The rebellious boy vented his sister and angrily kicked the basket on the ground.
The basket was slumped on the ground and rolled around. The wild vegetables, fungus, chickens, mushrooms and mushrooms inside rolled all over the floor, and was covered with a lot of sand and soil.
The boy who had vented enough turned his head back to the house, and Su Wangyun, who was still there, rubbed his swelling and painful forehead.
Bad boy!
After a while, Su Wangyun, who was in a bad mood, also looked darker. With a cold face, he bypassed the wild vegetables all over the floor and carried the vegetable basket into the kitchen.
She is busy and the process of making cold side dishes is simple and easy. But it is not enough to make it simple. If she wants to sell it, she also needs to match some tools.
For example, when selling the basins of side dishes, they need to be packed in bags or boxes, and customers cannot hold them back with their hands.
But the current conditions at home do not allow it, and even the capital is gone, let alone the delivery bags and boxes.
However, she was going to go to the next yard and borrow a pot or basin with a lid.
The next door is Uncle and Aunt Li's family.
It was said to be next door, but in fact there was a one-meter-high wild grass field in the middle, and the wasteland was covered with thorns and weeds.
Su Wangyun bypassed the weeds and saw the earthen house surrounded by a small fence after his vision was widened.
The yard was filled with miscellaneous things, and bamboo baskets were placed in scattered.
Uncle Li is a craftsman. After the production team was disbanded, he could not make centimeters. Uncle Li regained his old business and used bamboo to weave baskets and buy them for the families in the village.
Su Wangyun walked over from afar, and Aunt Li, who was sitting in the yard feeding her grandson and saw it with sharp eyes. It was not until she was sure that Su Wangyun was heading towards her house that Aunt Li got up and walked over and opened the door.
"Wangyun, why did you come here early in the morning?"
Su Wangyun asked politely and politely for a few words before he got to the topic, "Aunt, I'm actually here to borrow something from you."
Aunt Li paused and nodded in a clear way.
Wangyun and his four brothers moved out of the Old Su family. It was really difficult for them to support their younger siblings as they were a half-aged girl...
"Wangyun, my aunt decorate you some flour. Take it back and make some cakes to fill your younger brothers' stomachs. If it really doesn't work, or move it back to your breasts' house. Your younger brothers and sisters will be bigger..."
Aunt Li thought about it and soon misunderstood Su Wangyun's meaning, thinking that she could not survive with her younger brother and sister, so she came to borrow food.
At this time, it is not easy for every family. When there is a commune, everyone can eat big pots of rice, and no matter how hard they say they can tighten their belts and eat enough.
It’s different now. After the dispersion, everyone is on their own. If there is any good, they must be close to their own family. It’s not easy to make a living by force.
"Aunt, you misunderstood. I'm not here to pick up the grain. I want to borrow a larger pot, preferably a lid."
After Su Wangyun explained, he compared the size of the basin with his hand.
Aunt Li laughed, "Borrow a basin, okay, I'll go find it. I remember there is one of these basin..."
Aunt Li walked away with a murmur.
Sitting at the wooden table, a little boy about the same age as Wangqing and Wangcheng, holding a big cake in his hand, biting it bit by bit, turning his head to look at Su Wangyun while gnawing, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
After a while, Aunt Li walked out with an aluminum box and an iron basin in her hand, with a kind smile on her face, "Wangyun, is this kind of thing done? The lid on the top was made by your Uncle Li himself."
Su Wangyun took over and weighed it with satisfaction, "Sure, thank you aunt."
"You're welcome, just use it." Aunt Li was very enthusiastic.
"Cough cough cough... wuwu vomit... cough cough cough... utter milk..."
The little boy sitting behind and eating noodles was very delicious. Suddenly, he seemed to be choking. The noodles fell to the ground with a painful expression, covering his neck, coughing and vomiting.
The throat seemed to be blocked, and my face turned red at first. After a while, my anger was blocked and my face began to turn blue.
He shouted helplessly, "Cough cough cough... milk... cough cough vomit..."
