Sure enough, it took only a quarter of an hour for You Jin to return to the west wing with Xiao Jiu, and the person who was sent by the old Chen to ask her to work came. Yue Youting stood outside the door of the west wing and shouted, "Yue Youjin! Grandma called you!" Regardless of whether the people in the room heard it or not, she turned around and left.
With a sigh, You Jin comforted Su Shi again: "Xiao Jiu's fever has gradually subsided, my mother still takes care of the little brother in her stomach, don't be sad." Then she took You Yin to the main room.
Looking coldly at the two annoying granddaughters, the old Chen said coldly, "Why are you still standing here stupidly? Do you want to starve this family to death if you don't cook?" Because the three houses live in the county all the year round, the pigs and other work are done in turn by the two houses, and each household takes turns on 15 days. Today is the last day of the second house.
Although Young Jin resents in her heart, her years of forbearance have made her accustomed to the partiality and viciousness of the old Chen family. Now she is not strong enough to fight against it, so she can only suppress her inner emotions and say nothing. Taking Young Yin to the kitchen.
The Yue family has not yet been separated. There are 21 people in the three-bedroom family. Apart from brothers Yue Wentao and Yue Wenli who are studying in the county, and the three-bedroom family living in the county town, there are 15 people in the family. To eat, so cooking is also a difficult project.
Yueyoujin is only eleven years old this year, and Yueyouyin is only nine years old, but the two sisters have been helping behind Su Shi since they were five or six years old, and the work in their hands is done very fast: Yueyouyin Squatting in front of the stove and burning the fire, Yue Youjin cut the eggplant "dong dong dong", then fried a large pot of eggplant with beans and cabbage, and then the dinner was ready.
Divide the dishes into two parts in duplicate, and place the extra part on the table where the Yue family man sits, and only one third of the food goes to the table headed by the old Chen family.
The Yue family's meals are counted every day, and it is not the old Chen family who cooks, but the power to overcook the dishes is always firmly in her hands. Old Chen first filled a bowl for himself, and Yue Youting, who was a little more favored, filled a bowl, and then it was Xiao Chen's turn, leaving the few brown rice mixed with a lot of sorghum. It was the turn of the seven daughters in the second room, and each of them was only half a bowl.
In fact, the Yue family's family background in Cuifeng Village is already considered a wealthy family, but because of the grandson who supports two grandsons studying in the county academy, and the old Chen family has always been stingy, the food is really not good.
Young Yin had been busy for a day today, and her stomach was growling with hunger. She held up her chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of eggplant. Before she left the vegetable bowl, Mrs. Chen quickly knocked the vegetable in her hand back into the bowl with chopsticks: "You know how to eat and eat all day long. Eating less can starve you to death, right? It's really a money-loser for a starving ghost!"
Young Yin didn't do anything and was scolded by the grandmother like this, her eyes turned red in an instant, but she didn't dare to cry, she lowered her head and sobbed silently. The family can eat meat twice a month, and children are greedy, but how can Young Yin dare to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the meat? But she herself didn't see a piece of meat wrapped in the eggplant.
Young Jin hurriedly stopped Old Chen's next move with a smile, and hurriedly put the piece of meat that Young Yin had mistakenly clipped into Old Chen's bowl: "Grandma has worked hard for a day today, just eat more."
The old Chen glared at her angrily: "Don't think that I don't know what you have in mind, one or two are idiots and losers!"
You Jin was scolded by her for eleven years, and naturally she was immune to her abuse. Quan Dang didn't hear what she said, and put a chopstick in the bowl of Young Yin, which of course had no meat.
The old Chen still wanted to have a seizure, but was interrupted by Yue Dafu at the next table: "Okay, it's been noisy for a day, why don't you let people eat in peace?"
Seeing what Yue Dafu said, the old Chen glared at Sister Young Jin and Young Yin fiercely, and then sat back down heavily. However, Youjin turned a blind eye and put two chopsticks and eggplants for sisters Youzhu and Youbao. Although there is no meat, they are still a little meaty. These sisters of my own are too thin, so I can eat more. Just need to eat more.
After the young Jin sisters finished eating, they brought a small half bowl of rice and a few pieces of cabbage and eggplant to Mrs. Su, who was lying on the kang. Holding a thick porcelain bowl with a small hole in her hand, Mrs Su looked at the six daughters who were standing in line by the kang, and Xiao Jiu who was lying beside her with red eyes: "It's hard work. How many sisters do you have. It's all because of your mother's unsatisfactory performance!"
Although Young Jin didn't see what happened today, he probably heard Young Yin talk about the process. Su's pregnancy was unstable, and today she was pushed by the old lady of Old Chen's and moved. Fetal qi could only go back to bed and lie down, and no one gave her even the medicine.
Knowing that the Su family is a pitiful person, Young Jin comforted her: "I can't blame my mother for today's affairs, now that Xiao Jiu has taken the medicine, she will be healed in a few days, and my mother has to take care of her little brother in her stomach. "Although Youjin is a person in the 21st century, he doesn't think there is any difference between daughters and sons. After all, the state promotes that boys and girls are the same. But it has been eleven years since she came to this inexplicable time and space. She naturally knows how important a son is to these pedantic ancients. Otherwise, the Su family cannot give birth one by one. In eleven years, she gave birth to six and seven children. !
Seeing that the eldest daughter is so sensible, Su Shi sighed: "Mother knows that your sisters are well-behaved and obedient, so don't blame your grandma, she's just a bit more powerful..."
Where is the mouth powerful? Has the evil-hearted old lady done bad things over the years? When Su Shi gave birth to twin daughters, she wanted to drown them. If she hadn't sneaked behind and fished the twins out of the bucket full of water, Xiao Wu Xiao Liu would have been gone! You Jin sneered a few times in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the face, only said: "My daughter knows, mother eat the food soon."
The mother and daughter were talking in the west wing, and the Su family wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a scolding voice: "Where are all the dead people? Lao Tzu worked hard outside to earn some money, It's good for you guys to lose money, you can eat when you open your mouth all day long, haven't you seen your father come back?" It turned out that it was Yue Changlu, the second child of the Yue family and the father of the Seven Young Jin sisters.
Hearing Yue Changlu scolding and calling outside the room, Mrs Su in the room was busy trying to remember to go out to serve him, but was stopped by Young Jin: "Mom, eat quickly, I'll serve Dad." Said After he signaled to You Yin to stop Su Shi, he turned around and lifted up the tattered door curtain and went out to face another annoying person from the Yue family.
Seeing Young Jin come out with a cold face, Yue Changlu directly picked up the shoes with several patches stitched in his hands and smashed them over: "You lose money, I won't come out after shouting here for a long time, are you deaf or dumb? already?"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Youjin's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal. She is only eleven years old now, and she is not the opponent of these beasts. Next to the other shoe: "I'm going to fetch water and come back to wash my father's feet." Then, without looking at Yue Changlu, who was still scolding behind him, he went out of the west wing to the kitchen to fetch the hot water that was still sitting on the stove.
After finally serving Wanyue Changlu, the uncle who is said to be making money outside but obviously smells of inferior women's fat powder, Youngjin's eyes became a little colder, and she also heard some rumors about Yue Changlu's troubles. However, looking at Su's stomach, she never dared to tell Su's, but looking at Su's look so weak that a three-year-old child who bullied her would not fight back, just let her know that Yue Changlu was messing around outside. I'm afraid it's useless, right
Dumped out the dirty water that Yue Changlu had used, and brought back a basin of hot water for himself and his six sisters to wash their feet and wipe their bodies, before You Jin and a few sisters lay side by side on the long kang outside. fall asleep. Covered with a ragged black and hard quilt, sitting up sideways and looking at the sleeping faces of the six younger sisters, You Jin couldn't help sighing deeply, what should she do!
How can I take my little sisters out of the Yue family's fire pit that eats people and doesn't spit out bones? If it was only herself, it would be very easy to escape the Yue family, but if she left, what would the six sisters do? You Jin was an orphan with no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters in her previous life. She has these six sisters in this life. She has watched them grow up since she was a child. The sisters are all very well-behaved, but she is very reluctant to have this otherworldly affection.
However, thinking of the inferior fat and powder fragrance on Yue Changlu's body, and thinking about the life of a few younger sisters in Yue's house, Young Jin also began to think about it, and he must come up with a good way.
Every day when people are not paying attention, he secretly takes a broken earthenware pot and boils medicine for Xiao Jiu. After five or six days, Xiao Jiu's fever has completely subsided. Got to lose another three points.
You Jin couldn't help sighing: "Tomorrow, my sister will go up the mountain to hunt for hogweed and see if I can find a bird's nest or something. It's better to find some bird eggs for you to come back and make up for it." Since the year before last, Young Jin has been going up the mountain almost every day. Going to hunt hogweed, from time to time I can always get some bird eggs back to feed a few younger sisters, and occasionally I secretly roast a pheasant on the mountain, tear it up and bring it back to give them some meaty food, otherwise I will rely on the food that the old Chen gave them. Yes, I am afraid that several sisters have already starved to death, how can they still live so well
Xiao Jiu also knew that she felt sorry for her sister, so she obediently drank the bitter medicine and hurriedly chewed a few sour leaves to get rid of the bitter taste in her mouth, before she said in a milky voice, "Xiao Jiu doesn't want to eat birds. Eggs." Although he said so, the desire for food was written in his eyes that were too large because of his thinness.
Seeing her being so sensible, Youjin smiled and hugged her in his arms, rubbing her yellow and rough hair like withered grass: "What do you want to eat, Xiaojiu? My sister will go and come back and give you something to eat, okay? OK?"
Xiaojiu remembered the fragrant meat smell that she smelled when she passed by the eldest's house last time, and the roasted pheasant legs that the eldest sister secretly brought back last time, and swallowed hard: "Xiaojiu wants to eat... . . . "Hearing her voice became more and more whispered, the smile on the corner of Youjin's mouth remained the same, and she put her arms around Xiaojiu and looked at the sisters sitting beside her: "Sister will definitely let you all eat meat in the future, I believe my sister. ."
The six little girls with big eyes all looked at You Jin earnestly, and then nodded vigorously: "We believe in elder sister!"
Looking at the clear eyes of the six younger sisters, Young Jin's heart also strengthened a bit of faith: I will definitely protect you and give you a prosperous life!
