Chapter 5

Her brother Zhang Xiaoquan smiles at Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu helped her mother to bring the vegetables to the table, and a big pot was filled with the staple food - porridge made of corn flour mixed with wild vegetables.

Porridge is a bit exaggerated. To be exact, it should be wild vegetable soup - a large pot of soup made of corn flour mixed with wild vegetables.

In a big bowl, there are four adult fist sized, steamed sweet potatoes.

There is also a dish of fried radish. In fact, it should be boiled in water, because there is no oil or salt in it.

Why not? It's because of poverty. As for salt, we may not believe it. It's a stone. It's fried with vegetables in a pot. When the stone is picked up, it's salt.

Although the days are hard, we still have a good time.

However, Xiaoyu thinks that since she is here and everyone is so kind to her, she must find a way to lead her family to a well-off life and have a good life. At least she must have enough food and clothing.

She plans to see if there are any business opportunities first. After making money, she can change to a house with a toilet. It's better to have one for each person. Because the house is small, it's still rented. How can it work.

After dinner, Zhang Daniu and Zhang Xiaoquan went down to the ground. Zhang Xiaoyu helped to clean up the dishes, brush and clean the house.

Zhao Qun is sitting on a stool to embroider. Xiaoyu has seen it. It's wonderful. Her mother embroiders these purses and purses, but she wants to change money in the town.

It's a pity that she didn't have that cell and couldn't take the embroidery needle. Her mother wouldn't embarrass her, and she wouldn't embarrass herself. Let's find another way.

After Zhang Xiaoyu cleaned up his home, he was ready to go out for a walk. These days, she is in deep water, lying in bed, Zhao Qun does not let her out of bed, like a confinement“ Mother, I'll send some water to my father. I'll come back later. "

Come a month, because of illness, sick every day, at most to go outside the hospital to see, dare not go far, the body does not have the strength, go far afraid to walk back.

"OK, you go. If you are tired, take a rest and come back early." Zhao Qun raised his head and told Xiaoyu.

"Oh, I know, mother!" With a kettle in her hand, Xiaoyu walked out of Zhao Qun's sight in a flash.

……

Zhao Qun is a kind and gentle woman in Jiangnan. Be careful and arrange things in order. And people do not conflict, but others deceive the door, will also face directly, will not bear to swallow, is a smart and capable woman.

Zhang Daniu is not a smart man, but he is honest and honest. You give him a good point, he can double back to you. If you pit him, he doesn't blame you, even if he doesn't know you well any more.

Zhang Koizumi is a big boy with pure mind. He inherits Zhang Daniu's simple and honest, and Zhao Qun's careful, considerate and sensible.

……

This is Zhang Xiaoyu's first time to go out after crossing. He looks at the land that is divided into pieces in the distance. There are crops growing on it, green and people working in it.

This small mountain village is surrounded by mountains. Everyone lives in the plain at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Xiaoyu walked slowly along the path. It was all muddy. Fortunately, it was not a rainy day, or it would be full of mud.

"Xiaoyu, are you well? I haven't seen you out for a long time! " This is Aunt Li in the village. Her husband is dead. There is also a 13-year-old son in the family, who was brought up by herself.
