Wang Wei said stiffly: "...Go to sleep."
"oh"
After Xiao Xiao lay down, Wang Wei got up and blew out the lamp.
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the room, and then Wang Wei felt a warm body on his back.
Wang Wei's whole body stiffened immediately, his face turned red, and he stammered, "...you...what are you doing."
Xiao Xiao didn't retreat but advanced, and even put his arms around Wang Wei's waist: "I'm cold, the two of us stick together to keep warm." When he came here suddenly, he hadn't eaten for a whole day, and his energy was long gone, so he closed his mouth after speaking. eyes.
Wang Wei: "..." He didn't dare to move like a dead body. He blushed and opened his eyes for a long time. Maybe it's because it's really warmer when two people are close together. It used to be the feeling of being cold to the bone when sleeping. At this moment, he didn't feel it at all, and he still felt very hot, and he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.
When Wang Wei opened his eyes the next morning, he was horrified to find that he had hugged Xiao Xiao into his arms, and Xiao Xiao was sleeping peacefully against his chest.
Wang Wei used all his life's care to quietly pull his arm out from under Xiao Xiao's head, put on his clothes and went out, heaving a sigh of relief like the rest of his life.
At this time, the Queen Mother had just opened the door and came out to wash her face. Seeing Wang Wei, she asked coldly, "Where is your daughter-in-law, ask her to cook."
At this moment, Wang Wei still felt that his body was full of residual warmth from Xiao Xiao's body, so he answered the Queen Mother casually: "She still has a cold and is still sleeping."
The attitude is very peaceful, neither the usual sarcasm nor the chilling harshness.
The Queen Mother was stunned. Wang Wei always looked like he wanted to kill her when he faced her. Do it and do it."
Wang Wei still felt like he was floating at the moment, so he hummed and went straight into the kitchen.
The Queen Mother was stunned at the door for a long time before entering the room.
Not long after Wang Wei got up, Xiao Xiao woke up. No one was holding her, and the cold wind poured directly into the holed quilt from the crack in the wall, and she woke up from the cold.
Seeing that Wang Wei was not there, Xiao Xiao hurriedly got up and was relieved to see him in the kitchen.
When Wang Wei saw her, his expression was a little unnatural, he stiffly fetched water for her to wash her face, and then finished the meal with a dull face under her gaze.
What was cooked this morning was no longer sorghum stubble, but gnocchi made from fresh flour that was distributed this year. Although it still challenged Xiao Xiao’s five senses, it was at least better than last night’s. I ate it. Eating a meal is no less than torture.
When she was eating, Wang Wei's eyes drifted to her from time to time, seeing that she had finally eaten, Wang Wei himself didn't realize that he was relieved.
Xiao Xiao didn't touch the dirty-looking pickled lumps at all.
If she doesn't touch it, the rest of the Xiao family can eat it very happily. I don't know why the Queen Mother is so willing to eat fresh noodles today. The children hugged their own bowls and ate without looking up, and the others quickly grabbed them. Gobbled up the pickles and lumps.
Everyone else finished eating, but Xiao Xiao was the only one who was still eating slowly with a bowl, trying not to show any strangeness every bite, otherwise she would still look painful after eating the good things in the eyes of others. Thinking about it feels very annoying.
So, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Wang family, she slowly ate pimples in a calm and composed manner.
She is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, and she has received the best education in StarCraft. Even though she herself suffers from eating, the way she eats is indescribably elegant and seductive in the eyes of others.
The members of the Wang family were stunned, Wang Ying curled her lips, she ate all the pimples, and there was still soup in her bowl. With unspeakable envy, she picked up the bowl again and followed Xiao Xiao's example. He looked like eating slowly one bite at a time.
Then I didn't feel like it, so I was short of breath and simply drank the whole soup in one gulp.
Finally finished the bowl of pimples, Xiao Xiao let out a long breath. With this bowl of pimples at the bottom, at least he won't have to worry about being starved to death for a few days.
The bowl after the meal... Naturally, Wang Wei washed it again.
After finishing the work, Wang Wei found out that he seems to be helping Xiao Xiao very smoothly now, not to mention how ugly his face is. He firmly believes that he didn't sleep well last night, so that his mind was in a daze.
After several days in a row, Xiao Xiao finally got a general idea of the situation here. Of course, most of them were obtained by Wang Wei. Earth, but Blue Star.
This country is not called China, but Huaguo, which was founded in 1950. Other events are similar, including Huaguo's current difficult domestic and international environment.
It is now 1972. It stands to reason that the three-year famine has passed so long, even if the food is not good, barely enough food and clothing should not be a problem. But the bad thing is that in Yuncheng County, where Xiaoqian Village belongs, the temperature this year has been much lower than in previous years since the beginning of spring. After summer, it seems to enter winter immediately, causing most of the crops to freeze to death directly. last year.
This is also the reason why everyone lives so frugally. They are really scared by the previous famine. As long as they can barely hold their breath, they have to save food, and they don’t panic when they have food in their hands.
Xiao Xiao sat on the pile of straw under the quilt, analyzed the current situation, and found that he could only take one step at a time. After all, the educated youth’s going to the mountains and the countryside has not yet ended, and the country has not yet begun to open up. To open an environment for introducing letters, even though she is a genius from Interstellar, her skin is thin and her flesh is fragile, so she can only adapt to the general environment. After thinking it over clearly, he was inevitably a little discouraged, and looked at Wang Wei playing straw sandals with empty eyes.
"What's the use of you doing this? It's freezing cold now, who wears these shoes?" In such a cold weather, there is no difference between wearing these and not wearing them.
Wang Wei knit his head flexibly in his hands and said without raising his head: "It's impossible for the weather to be like this all the time. Spring will begin soon. When the weather gets hot, these straw sandals can be worn." He wanted to earn more centimeters, He used to be alone, although he didn't have enough to eat, but at least he didn't have to worry about it. Now it's no longer possible. He married a daughter-in-law who was very delicate. Others didn't know it, but he could see it. Even if it was fresh white noodles, this girl would eat it all. strenuous.
Thinking that from now on, he will take on the important task of supporting his family with such a delicate girl, Wang Wei's movements became even faster.
Xiao Xiao always felt that after she asked, Wang Wei's movements of weaving straw sandals carried a tragic meaning.
But she noticed something else: "Spring is coming soon? Does that mean that the snow will melt and all the plants will grow back?"
Wang Wei sighed after hearing this. He saw that Xiao Xiao had a fever. He didn't think there was anything more in his head, but he was just stupid. Isn't this obvious? He nodded calmly: "Yeah."
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up in a blink of an eye. She didn't understand this kind of natural weather. Now the earth is covered with white snow, but as long as the snow melts, plants will grow again, and animals will come out to move around. The nutrient solution can't be produced due to the equipment, but she can make the culture solution. It is not uncommon to cultivate night materials, and the refining process is not complicated. It should be available here.
The things grown directly with the culture solution are more nutritious and taste more delicious. With the food grown in the culture solution, she will not have to endure torture for eating in the future. Looking at Wang Wei who was weaving straw sandals on the side, he smiled. With the cultivation solution, at least this little husband can fill his stomach...
This was really the first good news he heard after coming here, Xiao Xiao cheered up, eagerly waiting for the spring to begin.
In Xiao Xiao's ardent desire, the spring did not come, and the New Year came first. In the age of extreme poverty, there is not much difference between the New Year and the usual. It is nothing more than being able to eat a decent meal. Pull a piece of cloth to make a new dress.
Only Wang Ying and a few children in the Wang family have this special treatment.
Wang Ying's indigo cloth was said to have been bought by Wang Li, the eldest daughter of the Wang family who married into the county, and brought back by a trustee at the only department store in the county. , with his head raised high, his chest puffed out as if looking at people with nostrils.
Especially walking in front of Xiao Xiao, Wang Ying snorted, then looked Xiao Xiao's whole body over, clicked his tongue twice, and curled his lips in disgust.
Xiao Xiao really didn't think her new clothes were amazing, both in terms of style and quality, they were too rough.
She didn't know why Wang Ying deliberately showed off in front of her, but she just thought this girl was quite interesting.
She thought it was funny, but Wang Wei's face turned black, and he took Xiao Xiao's way of looking at Wang Ying as envy. Pulling Xiao Xiao back to their small dark room, he spoke to Xiao Xiao in a very serious tone for the first time: "Don't envy other people's, I will buy it for you in the future." Although he hated getting married at first, he couldn't imagine There is a person who will eat and sleep with him and form a husband and wife. But marrying a wife and having children and living a normal life are grandpa's last wishes, and he doesn't want to go against his grandpa's wishes.
But who would have thought that the daughter-in-law he married would be like this: Although she is coquettish, tricky, difficult to support, likes to act like a baby, she can't do anything, let him wipe her butt. But she is also small, her words are soft and sweet like sugar, her eyes are bent into a pair of crescent moons when she smiles, she trusts him very much, she is so timid, but she still dares to choke for him and the Queen Mother.
Wang Wei felt that if it was such a daughter-in-law, he would actually not dislike her at all.
Xiao Xiao said, "I didn't..." Envy, before she could say anything, Zhao Yan, Wang's sister-in-law, shouted outside the door: "Fourth daughter-in-law, come out quickly, mother asked us to cook New Year's Eve dinner together."
Xiao Xiao replied distressedly, and looked back at Wang Wei eagerly.
Wang Wei: "... let's go, you follow behind me."
The author has something to say:
Today's Wang Wei didn't expect that it would be nothing to cook New Year's Eve dinner for his wife: because he will take care of all the housework in the future.
