Through the small days of farming

A good night's dream, when Bai Niannian woke up in the morning, he still had a smile on his face, but he couldn't remember what he dreamed about.

Picking up one side of the cotton coat and putting it on, the two cubs sleeping inside were still sleeping, the kang was still warm, and the temperature inside the room had dropped a lot, Bai Niannian got up lightly, and gave the two cubs a rest. The little guy pressed the corner of the quilt before going out to make breakfast.

The habit here is to eat two meals a day, one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening, and only eat three meals a day when the farming season is busy.

Bai Niannian didn't plan to follow the diet of two meals a day, the two cubs looked malnourished, even if he didn't eat, he couldn't treat his cubs badly.

He grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he is not uncomfortable with the life here, but it is very poor here.

Before the two cubs got up, Bai Niannian checked his own space, and found that except for people not being able to enter, everything else hadn't changed, and there was not much food left and the things he had collected.

Although his space is not static, he cannot plant or breed in the space.

Other living beings cannot enter, but he himself can enter. When he encounters danger, entering the space to hide is simply another life for him. When he gets to the back, he is the only one left. Avenging them by himself, and living alone for many years, it is best that he dies if he doesn't want to live.

Although there is not much food in the space, it is still possible to let them live a happy new year. Aunt Chen's family has helped so much, Bai Niannian plans to take out two catties of rice from the space as a thank you gift.

In this poor mountain village, visiting relatives to bring two catties of rice as a gift is a very face-saving thing to say. rice to eat.

First add a spoonful of water to the rice in the pot, pull out some charcoal from the kang stove, cook slowly on a low fire, Bai Niannian looked at the sky, the wind outside was blowing straight, the sky was a bit dark, he also Can't tell what time it is.

But it doesn't matter, he got up according to the biological clock of the original author, and Aunt Chen's family should also get up. To save the dust, Bai Niannian gave up the idea of ​​putting rice in this bag, put it in a big bowl, and went out.

The door in the courtyard was locked again after Bai Niannian went out. There was only one brother and two cubs in the house. If they were not so careful, they would have been eaten to nothing.

The wind outside was blowing straight, and the air-conditioning was pouring directly into the collar. I don't know if there is a scarf here?If there is, the weather is so cold that you will be frozen when you go out.

"Aunt Chen! Aunt Chen!!" Bai Niannian came to the gate of his house, shouted loudly, and accidentally drank a cold wind, which made him chop his feet.

"Squeak--" a sound.

Aunt Chen opened the door and stretched her head out, "Brother Chen, why are you here? Hurry up, come in first." He enthusiastically took Bai Niannian's hand, and chattered as he walked, "Your illness is getting better. Well? It didn’t take long for you to come out to have a shower, how can you do it, you don’t want to think about yourself, but also think about the two children at home!”

Facing Aunt Chen's enthusiasm, Bai Niannian couldn't take it anymore, he was really not used to dealing with such enthusiastic people... Fortunately, the original owner was also a quiet person, so Bai Niannian followed behind him, listening to his concern , just respond from time to time to show that you are listening.

As soon as he entered the room, a gust of hot air rushed to his face, and his body quickly warmed up.

"Brother, why are you here?" There was no one in the living room, only Aunt Chen's two daughter-in-laws and grandson Chen Mingxue were in the living room. Aunt Chen had a pig at home, and his two daughter-in-laws were busy feeding the pig. Niannian smiled and nodded as a greeting.

"Oh," Bai Niannian put the basket on the table and picked him up, "Ming Xue has grown a little taller."

"Really? (﹡o﹡)" Ming Xue asked with a happy face. In his memory, this little guy likes to hear others praise him for growing taller, and it really is the same as in his memory.

Aunt Chen poured two cups of hot water out of the kitchen, and all she saw was her little grandson leaning on him and smiling.

"Drink some hot water to warm up your body first. Your brother's body hasn't healed yet, if you don't come down, see if I can spank your ass." Aunt Chen threatened him.

"Brother, are you sick? If you are sick, you have to rest in bed." Chen Mingxue looked at him eagerly, "Is Mingde unable to come and play with me?"

"The weather is so cold now, Mingxue doesn't like to go out, right? Mingde is not in good health, so he can't come out to have a breeze. When the weather clears up, I'll bring Mingli and Mingde over to play with you, okay?" Bai Niannian patiently He explained that for the cubs in his family, he had to maintain their relationship.

"Well, it's okay, brother, you can't lie."

"Mingxue, go to the room first to see if your grandfather is up?" Aunt Chen knew that Bai Niannian must have something to do when she came to see him, so she dismissed Chen Mingxue after seeing the two of them finished talking.

Bai Niannian put it in his pocket, but actually counted 150 copper coins in the space and took them out, "Aunt Chen, count them, this is the money owed to your family before, and the one in the basket is thank you Thank you for taking care of Mingli and Mingde before."

There are not so many exquisite things here. When she heard that it was for herself, Aunt Chen looked directly at what was in the basket and was surprised.

"Brother Chen..."

Bai Niannian interrupted him, "This is left to us by my husband, the life at home is getting more and more difficult, this winter is colder than previous years, and the cotton coats at home are not warm anymore, I would like to invite you Help me buy some cotton, our family has no money, but we still have a little rice left, about [-] to [-] catties, I don’t know if it’s enough to exchange for cotton?”

"That's enough." Aunt Chen looked at the rice in the basket cherishingly. The rice is so expensive now. These are the best polished rice. Is there enough food at home?"

"Enough to eat." Bai Niannian answered happily after solving the problem of keeping warm.

Aunt Chen looked at his smiling face, and swallowed back the words she wanted to say. When the time comes, life will be difficult, and he is not a person who wants to save face and suffer.In the end, I just said, 'If you have anything to do, come to my aunt. '

From the name of the cub Mingxue, we can know that the two families are very close. Otherwise, Aunt Chen would not have lent Mingli and Mingde 150 copper coins. In this world with low productivity, 150 copper coins is not enough. Less money.

"Haven't you had breakfast yet? Now that you're here, eat breakfast at Auntie's before going back."

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Bai Niannian didn't want to stay any longer, so he refused: "The fire in the house is still burning, I have to go back to see if I lost my breakfast? I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, he drank the hot water in the wooden cup in one gulp, and walked outside without waiting for Aunt Chen to continue to keep him.

Back home, Bai Niannian immediately added some firewood to the stove, and then went to the room to see if the two cubs were awake?

When he came out, he didn't close the door tightly. He opened it a little and saw that the two cubs were still sleeping soundly on the bed. He was relieved to see that the two cubs didn't wake up so soon.

Wash the pot, stir-fry some wild vegetables left over from last night, and then spoon the hot water into the wooden basin at home to adjust the water temperature. The wooden basin is about the same size as the plastic basin in the end of the world. It should be used to wash your face. He After searching, there is a toothbrush in the space, but it can't be used, so I can only rinse my mouth with water.

At this time, the porridge was almost ready, so he went to wake up the two cubs. The two cubs didn't make any trouble when they were woken up.

The complexion of the two cubs looked much better than yesterday, with some blood on their faces, but they were still thin and small, as if they should be skeletons, and their bodies were so thin that only a layer of skin remained, just like the original owner.

They are all poor and troubled. They have not had enough food and clothing for many years. These days, it is not bad to be able to survive.

Every year, people in the village will starve to death or freeze to death.

There was a lot of leftover rice last night, and when it was cooked into porridge, it seemed even more. This time, Bai Niannian didn't dare to give a bowl to one person, but just shared half a bowl for each person. If he suddenly ate too much, his stomach would hurt. unbearable.

The three of them were full after eating half a bowl of thick porridge, but most of the wild vegetables were gone, and the rest of the vegetables were put away, and the first and second children washed the dishes with hot water.

He planned to go out to find out the tattered clothes in the house, "Brother, I will go out later, Mingli and Mingde will take care of the house at home, okay? Brother, you won't come back so soon, you stay in the house obediently." Play inside, don't go outside, brother will be back soon."

"Brother, where are you going?" His stomach was no longer uncomfortable, Ming De was a little more lively than he remembered, leaning on his brother's arms, looking at him curiously.

"Brother, go dig up the sweet potatoes on the mountain, we will have enough food for this winter." Bai Niannian pretended to touch his pocket, but actually took out three candies from the space.

"Well, brother, let's go, I will take good care of my brother." Ming Li said.

"So good." Bai Niannian rubbed the hair of the two cubs, showed the big white rabbit toffee in his palm, and directly opened the package, one of them held one in his mouth.

Feeling the sweet taste in their mouths, the two cubs smiled happily, feeling as if they were in a dream.

They don't have to go hungry and even eat sugar.

Before walking out of the door, Bai Niannian turned back and said: "The porridge in the pot is all for you to eat. My buddies have already figured out a way to make money. The food at home is enough for us to eat this winter. It was useless before, bros. You don’t have enough to eat and don’t wear warm clothes. Now the gods have told me how to make money, so eat more and grow up to help me.
