Return to the era of passion

Liu Huijuan asked again: "Did you carry me into the house and take off my clothes?"

"It's me." Wang Bin didn't want her to say this anymore, and immediately asked: "Sister Huijuan, why did you fall on the snow? If I hadn't gone out, you would have frozen to death."

Liu Huijuan's pretty smiling face suddenly dropped, she covered her face with her hands and cried for a while.

It had been more than a day since I had eaten, and I was in a hurry to get back, so I fainted from hunger.

Many people in the village envied themselves for being able to marry into the county town, but only they knew the pain involved.

In the autumn, the man died in an accident. Although he had a pension, his mother-in-law kept it and said it was reserved for retirement.

Almost all the workers in the flooring factory were male. After negotiation, Liu Huijuan was transferred to the hotel as a waiter.

Although it is still a formal job, you need to start as an apprentice, and the monthly salary is 17 yuan in the first year.

This amount of money is not enough to support four people in the county town, and life is very tight.

Now the food supply at home has been cut off again, and the last bit of food is left for my mother-in-law and children to eat. I get up before dawn in the morning, take the shuttle bus to the commune, and then walk back to my parents' house to borrow food.

But on the way to Wang Bin's house, I suddenly felt dizzy. When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on Wang Bin's bed.

In fact, if Wang Bin hadn't fed her a cup of spiritual spring water, Liu Huijuan might not have been able to wake up.

Liu Huijuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I didn't eat yesterday. I just fainted from hunger."

Then he talked about the difficulties at home.

Everyone is like this now. Even if you have money, you can’t buy food. People are starving to death. What else can’t be said?

"Sister Huijuan, it is so difficult in the county, but have you ever thought that it is even more difficult in our countryside than in the city."

Wang Bin said: "A few days ago, there was an old man who was so hungry that his whole body was swollen and he couldn't bear it."

"Sister Huijuan, as far as I know, your mother's family has no food left."

After hearing this, Liu Huijuan didn't know what to say.

Thinking of the embarrassing situation in front of his family, the tears flowed out again.

"This is how to do ah?"

Although I had already made a guess in my mind, when I heard this, my face was still full of disappointment.

"I really have no choice. There are four people in the family. There is an elder and a younger child. The second child still needs to breastfeed. So... I can only go back and find a solution."

Liu Huijuan opened her mouth to ask Wang Bin if he had any extra food, but she couldn't open her mouth.

My relationship with Wang Bin is just that of neighbors, so why should I give precious food to myself?

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Huijuan's stomach rang, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Wang Bin only fed him half a cup of spiritual spring water just now, because he couldn't feed him food after he fainted.

It's good that Liu Huijuan has the energy to chat with Wang Bin.

Although Wang Bin felt a little pity for Liu Huijuan, he had no interest in raising other people's wives.

Widow Zhao is also pitiful. If she has extra food, she might as well send it to Widow Zhao, where she can stay overnight and have someone warm her bed.

"Sister Huijuan, I think you are in much better spirits now. Why don't you go back to your parents' house as soon as possible."

"Your cotton-padded jacket and pants were all wet just now. I took them off to dry them. Wearing wet clothes will cause you to catch a cold or fever."

Liu Huijuan also knew that Wang Bin was trying to save people just now. After all, she didn't know how long she had spent in the snow nest after she fainted.

Besides, I still had my underwear on and didn't feel any physical discomfort, so I didn't think much about it.

He said gratefully: "I haven't thanked you for rescuing me yet. Sister, thank you for saving my life."

"Sister Huijuan said this out of sight. I can't watch you freezing outside."

Wang Bin said, taking the cotton jacket and trousers, put them on the kang, turned around and went out.

Liu Huijuan thanked her again, then sat up and put on her cotton jacket and trousers.

He came out and said, "I'll go back to my parents' house to see you. Thank you."

"Be polite and do whatever you want."

Wang Bin sighed and shook his head when he saw Liu Huijuan going out in the wind and snow.

There was a drought this summer, there was a locust plague, and the harvest was not enough. At this time, every family is still in difficulty. They don't even have enough to eat. How can there be any extra food for Liu Huijuan.

Besides, Liu Huijuan came empty-handed this time. Her parents might not gossip, but her sister-in-law and younger siblings would definitely dislike her.

Liu Huijuan wanted to borrow food this time, but it was extremely difficult.

Wang Bin traveled through Widow Zhao's bed and picked up Liu Huijuan without entering the house. Only then did he have time to study his own home.

The parents of the original owner died, leaving behind three mud houses, a wing room that was the kitchen, and two east wing rooms, which were the houses where the original owner lived before.

The yard is quite big, with a vegetable garden in the west wing, a pig pen and chicken coop in the backyard, and a livestock shed, but they no longer raise livestock.

Wang Bin took a brief look at the yard and then walked into the kitchen.

Dried chili peppers, garlic heads, and more than ten kinds of vegetable seeds kept in the drawer, then took a few kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes each, cut them into small pieces, and then put them directly into the space.

The area of ​​the space is not large, it seems to be 100 meters in diameter. In the middle is a circle of marble fence, and a spiritual spring is in the center. It spurts out water columns about a foot high, and then falls into the surrounding pools.

Wang Bin received all the memories and now knew how to farm. He dug a hole, threw the seeds, covered it with soil, and poured water on it. It was done.

It's just that potatoes and sweet potatoes are more troublesome. Wang Bin put the cut pieces into a basin, soaked half of them in Lingquan water, and then clapped his hands to make room.

It's a pity that I don't have food seeds at home, so I think I have to find a way to plant some in the space.

Opening the noodle vat, there was half of the stick noodles inside, and more than ten kilograms of white flour in the cloth bag. There were also two dried hares hanging on the beams, plus potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, radishes and pumpkins. Wang Bin was a little surprised. There is still a lot of food.

I chopped up a hare, added a bunch of potatoes, and made an iron pot to stew the hare. Then I put some pancakes on the side and ate a delicious meal. There was still more than half of the pot left.

Just as Wang Bin thought, Liu Huijuan returned to her parents' home empty-handed and was greeted by her sister-in-law and younger siblings with a blank stare and some sarcastic remarks.

What I had for lunch was steamed buns with cornmeal noodles and stir-fried cabbage, which didn’t have much oil or water.

Liu Huijuan's parents couldn't really watch their daughter starve to death. They wanted to steal some food after eating, but the sister-in-law guarded the food at home and did not borrow any food even after a quarrel.

Liu Huijuan didn't want to embarrass her two elders, so she had to turn around and leave home. She was worried to death along the way. Wouldn't she starve to death after returning to the city?

When passing by Wang Bin's yard, Liu Huijuan's heart moved, why don't she come to borrow food?

Other people's families may not have food, but I heard from my mother that although Wang Bin's parents passed away, his second uncle was the accountant in the village, and he was also a warehouse keeper. He always had more work points than others, so there should be extra food at home.

Thinking of this, I looked around and saw that there was not even a shadow of a ghost on the road. I opened the courtyard door and walked in.

Seeing that the kitchen was not locked, I suddenly decided to go into the kitchen to check. If there was enough food, I must borrow it from Wang Bin today.

Liu Huijuan's mouth watered when she saw the corn noodles, flour in the noodle vat in the kitchen, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, etc. in the sacks, especially a dried hare on the beam.
