I have 1 after wearing the chronology

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky is dark, and there are shouts one after another in the village.

--time to eat!

—Hey, here we come!

The children lying on the ground playing marbles collected the colorful glass and scattered like birds and beasts. On the one hand, they were hungry, and on the other hand, they were out of fear of being slapped.

Chen Yongyang's hands were covered in mud, knees, cuffs, and elbows were covered with dust. He climbed onto the table recklessly. Zhou Mei's eyes were sharp: "Chen Yongyang, wash your hands!"

Usually calling her full name means that his mother is already angry, so Chen Yongyang shrank back from the bench.

"Pi Hou, how many times have I told you not to lie down on the ground, and then do the laundry by yourself!" Zhou Mei felt a headache, why her two sons were so disobedient when they were young, and she didn't know who they followed. .

Looking at Chen Lu who was helping to set the dishes, Zhou Mei comforted herself. Fortunately, the two daughters are not like their brothers, they are very well-behaved and sensible.

As usual, it was sweet potato rice, and the radish soup was finished at noon. Zhou Mei cooked half a sweet pumpkin, plus leftover shredded potatoes, and fried lotus white with lard residue.

Chen Wan had a sore throat, Zhou Mei added rice soup to his bowl of rice and cooked it into porridge, which was easier to swallow.

Chen Yongyang asked why his little uncle ate porridge, and when he got the answer that Chen Wan had a cold, the corners of his mouth drooped, looking distressed.

Chen Wan ate the slowest among the people at the table, and Chen Yongyang finished eating before him. Zhou Mei piled up the bowls and prepared to carry them to the kitchen.Chen Yongyang's big eyes glanced back and forth at Chen Wan and Zhou Mei, and he stepped out to escape.

"Come back." Chen Wan stopped him with two words, and then looked at Zhou Mei, "Sister-in-law, Yong Yang and I will wash the dishes tonight."

"No need, how much work does it take for a few bowls, I just wash it." Zhou Mei smiled, not taking his words seriously.

"I remember that Yong Fei was nine years old when he washed the dishes for the first time. Yong Yang can't be worse than his brother, right?" Chen Wan put down her chopsticks and asked Chen Yong Yang to learn from Chen Yong Fei.

"Yes!" Chen Yongyang nodded heavily, and stretched out his hand to Zhou Mei, "Mom, give me the bowl."

Zhou Mei didn't react, Chen Qianjin said: "Yong Yang wants to wash the dishes, let him do it. Didn't you say that you stepped on a bench and cooked on the stove when you were seven years old? Yong Yang is already nine years old , let him exercise."

Chen Qianjin made a final decision, Zhou Mei helped carry the bowl to the kitchen and left it alone, leaving the nephew and uncle to work inside, with Chen Wan looking after it, Chen Yongyang probably wouldn't break the bowl.

She thought so, but actually kept her ears up to listen to the movement in the kitchen.

The dishwashing water was in the pot, and the height of the stove reached Chen Wan's waist, about one meter high, and it was just below Chen Yongyang's shoulders.

"Shall I bring you a small bench?" Seeing him struggling on tiptoe, Chen Wan turned his head and smiled with his fist against his lips.

"No!" It was a matter of dignity, Chen Yongyang gritted his teeth and refused.

Chen Wan rolled up her sleeves, revealing half of her fair forearm, and tested the temperature of the water in the pot. It felt a little hot, so she mixed a ladle of cold water into it.

Chen Yongyang followed his example and rolled up his sleeves. His clothes were loose, and as soon as he rolled them up, his hands slid down, and Chen Wan asked him to raise his hands, rolled them up for him twice, and then pushed them to his elbows.Chen Yongyang shook his arm, and it stopped slipping.

The original body has the experience of washing dishes, how could one who was born in the countryside not do a little work.

Chen Wan put the chopsticks into the hot water in the pot, and when he was about to move, Chen Yongyang squeezed him away. The child pretended to be an adult: "Little uncle, just tell me what to do. You can't play with water when you have a cold."

What does washing dishes have to do with playing with water?Chen Wan couldn't laugh or cry, but it was undeniable that he was moved.

All right, he withdrew his hand, stood behind Chen Yongyang and directed: "Pick up the chopsticks and rub them... Use some strength, yes..."

The uncle and nephew washed the dishes for six people in the kitchen for more than 20 minutes. Chen Wan checked and Chen Yongyang washed the dishes for the first time. Although the action was a bit slow, the washing was quite clean.

Chen Wan praised a few words, and Zhou Mei saw that each son was awesome, making Chen Yongyang so beautiful that he almost couldn't find him.

There is also a small pot next to the big pot on the stove. The water in it is hot after a meal, and it is just right to put it out for the family to wash.

Chen Wan had a fever and broke out in a cold sweat. In fact, he wanted to take a quick hot bath, but due to limited conditions, he could only wipe it off with a damp handkerchief.

After tidying up, the sky was completely dark, the light from the flashlight flashed past the courtyard gate, Zhou Mei turned her head: "Who is it?"

"Auntie, I'm Zhang Yi." The courtyard door opened, Zhang Yi turned off the flashlight, and two female educated youths were behind, "Auntie, let's take a look at Chen Wan."

"It's late at night, I'm sorry to trouble you, come in quickly. Have you eaten yet?" Zhou Mei hurriedly ushered people in, "Liu'er, Zhang Yi and the others saw you coming."

Chen Wan had just swallowed the cold medicine, his face was wrinkled with bitterness, he stuffed a slice of orange and bit it in his mouth, when he saw Zhang Yi and the others, he chewed and swallowed it, and then asked them to sit down.

Zhou Mei asked them again if they had eaten. Zhang Yi specially staggered the meal time because he was afraid of being left behind.

The three of them didn't sit for a long time. Seeing that Chen Wan was not as sad as they had imagined, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They comforted him that there would be another chance next time, and they could go to them at any time if they had any questions. They left after leaving a sentence to take a good rest.

Sending the three of them away, Chen Wan closed the courtyard door and turned off the lights in the main room. There was no entertainment at night, and he had no choice but to sleep.

Chen Wan planned to plan his future life, but his mind was full of what happened to Xu Kongshan in the original text. The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he was, and finally he sat up with his arms around the quilt.

Xu Kongshan's breath on the quilt had been shaken away by him, and Chen Wan felt lonely and sleepless.

Occasionally, two dogs barked in the silent mountain village, and Xu Kongshan turned over hungry and got out of bed, full of sweet potatoes, and the little oil in his stomach was scraped clean.Fortunately, he stayed behind, otherwise he would have starved to death with Sun Dahua.

Xu Kongshan skillfully dug out a package of black things from under the bed, and when he opened it, the smell of meat wafted out in the air. It was the pheasant he had hunted on the mountain when he was chopping firewood. return.The firewood at home is Xu Kongshan's job by default, and Sun Dahua and the others will never help, so don't worry about them finding out.

To be precise, 90.00% of the Xu family's work is done by Xu Kongshan. Sun Dahua, Xu Youcai and their later son are notoriously lazy in the village.The only thing Xu Kongshan didn't have to do at home was cooking. Sun Dahua installed a lock on the kitchen door, and the key was only in her hand, to prevent Xu Kongshan from going in and stealing food.

The first time Xu Kongshan entered the kitchen to steal food was when he was seven years old. Sun Dahua had his own baby son, and his attitude towards Xu Kongshan changed drastically.

Half a child eats a poor old man, Xu Kongshan is growing up, and has not had enough food for three days in a row. He was really hungry and was forced to go into the kitchen to eat leftovers during the day.He had never done such a sneaky thing, but when Xu Youcai got up at night and caught him, Sun Dahua slapped him and scolded him for being a reincarnation of a starving ghost. The kitchen door was locked the next day.

Xu Kongshan was beaten at night, and when he got up in the morning, there were five fingerprints on the left side of his face, which shows how hard Sun Dahua slapped him.

Sun Dahua was still angry after being beaten, and she didn't give anyone breakfast, so she threw the basket and sickle at the foot of Xu Kongshan, telling him not to go home until the basket was full of pigweed.

The Xu family used to raise pigs, so there was no way, Xu Kongshan was too young to support a family.Later, when the big pot was eaten, the Xu family's pigsty became vacant and became a woodshed.

Now the Chen family still lives next door, and Xu Kongshan was just catching up with Zhou Mei to make breakfast when he went out. He smelled the smell and looked at the hall of the Chen family, his eyes full of desire for food.

Zhou Mei heard Sun Dahua yelling next door, and saw the slap marks on Xu Kongshan's face, it's not easy to swear in front of a child, so she didn't say anything.Old Mrs. Chen sighed, oh what a crime, patted Xu Kongshan's hair and went into the kitchen to serve him a bowl of rice.

Afterwards, the Chen family often helped Xu Kongshan secretly, until the famine broke out in the village, and they ran out of food.

During the two years of famine, the situation of Xu's family was worse than that of Chen's family. Sun Dahua's consumption of Xu Kongshan's food was outrageous.

Xu Kongshan was hungry, he couldn't run into the mountains alone to find food, and then he learned to hide food.Fortunately, he has the ability, otherwise, not to mention growing so big, it might even be a problem to survive.

Xu Kongshan gnawed on the pheasant in the dark, the cold meat was too cold to chew, but he didn't dislike it, as long as it was meat.Xu Kongshan chewed the bone until it made a sound. Sun Dahua and the others slept in the back room, so they couldn't hear the movement here. Even if they heard it, they would probably think it was a rat.

After eating half of a chicken, Xu Kongshan was no longer hungry, so he rewrapped it and put it back in its original place. The temperature is low in winter and the meat is put away, and he will eat the rest tomorrow night.

The night finally completely quieted down. Chen Wan thought for a long time, came up with a rough plan, and closed her heavy eyelids with confidence.

"Giggle!"

The crowing of the rooster pierced the dawn, and Ping An Village, which had been silent all night, became lively. Wisps of green smoke floated out of the chimney and melted into the morning mist.

Zhou Mei cooked breakfast and went in to wake up the third sibling. Chen Wan was still asleep, so she didn't bother her.

"Take the eggs and eat them on the road, and study hard at school." Zhou Mei fixed Chen Yongyang's messy collar, and helped Chen Lu smooth his hair. "Come back early after school in the afternoon. Mom will cook meat for you."

meat!

Chen Yongyang was drooling with greed, and smiled so much that he showed his missing teeth.Hey, how much he thought it was night now.

After breakfast, Zhou Mei warmed Chen Wan's share in a small pot, and the big pot started to cook the pig food. The two fat pigs howled with hunger in the pen.

When Chen Wan woke up, the sky was bright, her throat was no longer sore, and her cold symptoms turned into a stuffy left nose.

"Liu'er is up, is your cold better?" Zhou Mei brought out her breakfast and poured two scoops of hot water into the enamel basin Chen Wan was holding.

"It's much better, my throat doesn't hurt anymore." Chen Wan's tone was full of joy, "Did brother go to the field?"

"Well, it's time for wheat to be fertilized these two days." Chen Wan didn't understand the work in the field, so Zhou Mei told him to wash his face and have breakfast.

After breakfast, Chen Wan's left nose was unblocked, and his right nose was blocked again, and the two sides took turns to work.

...he never wants to catch a cold again!

Chen Wan put the boiled eggs into the pocket of the padded jacket, walked around the yard and found that there was nothing to do, said something to Zhou Mei, then stepped into the path leading to the old house.
