The three of them ate lunch together. They said it was lunch, but it was actually a pot of porridge with clear water and coarse grains. There was more water than rice, and some dried sweet potatoes were added in it. The side dish was a plate of pickled pickled vegetables.
Li Mo couldn't swallow, she could clearly feel the thick stubble scratching her throat, the pickled vegetables were also a bunch of pickles, without any oil, so she could only swallow slowly bit by bit.
Li Mo looked at Song Dashan who was sitting next to him, snoring and eating quickly, as if he was eating delicacies from mountains and seas. Even the little bun on the opposite side was holding a spoon by himself, scooping up the porridge one by one, carefully putting it into his mouth Then chew it, swallow it, eat it very carefully, and it is very fragrant, and it seems to be very satisfying.
It seems that this family is indeed impoverished. In such a situation, Song Dashan can still spend two taels of silver to buy himself. If he left, Song Dashan would suffer a lot.
Li Mo ate a bowl of porridge in a boring way and then stopped. One was that she couldn't eat it, and the other was that she lost her appetite.
Song Dashan saw that she had only eaten a little, and frowned slightly, "You don't want to eat? There is still in the pot."
Xiao Baozi also looked over curiously because of these words.
Li Mo shook her head, "I'm full, you eat."
Song Dashan looked at Li Mo for a moment, nodded, and continued to eat.
Seeing his father continue to eat, Xiao Baozi lowered his head and picked up a small spoon to scoop it up.
Lunch was finished soon, Li Mo thought that she was going to live in this family, she had to integrate into this family, so she stood up and put away the dishes.
Song Dashan stopped her, "You are just fine, go back and lie down and rest for a while, I will clean up."
Li Mo shook her head and continued to clean up, "I'm almost fine now, I don't feel sick anymore, I can do these tasks, let me clean up."
Seeing her determination, Song Dashan didn't stop him anymore, but he was worried and followed Li Mo into the kitchen.
This is the first time Li Mo has seen such a kitchen. The kitchen is not big. There is a large stove built against one wall, and a chimney is erected in the middle, poking out of the roof. There are two large pots on the stove, and a very small pot in the middle, and at the stove mouth, there are a lot of firewood and dry grass, which should be used to light the fire.
Next to the stove was a wooden cabinet that was so black that the original color could not be seen. One of the legs was missing and it was padded with stones. Next to the cabinet is a large water tank filled with water.
Li Mo had a general understanding of the things in the kitchen, put the bowls and chopsticks in the pot, picked up the water ladle made of a gourd on the lid of the vat, scooped water from the vat, put it into the pot, and put it on the pot lid I found a rag on the bed and wiped the bowl.
Although Li Mo didn't do much housework in her previous life, and her aunt did everything, but she still knows how to do basic housework, so it's not like she can't do anything.
Seeing her brushing the dishes, although her movements were not quick, but very serious, Song Dashan felt relieved.
When I bought her before, I heard Ren Yazi roughly say that she is a maid from a wealthy family, a maid from a wealthy family in the city, but she is more handsome than the ladies in the town, and she is well-raised and well-bred. The daughter-in-law in the village is even more different, so he has long been prepared that she will not be able to do any work. Now it seems that she is better than he imagined, at least she is willing to do it.
Seeing that there is no problem with her, Song Dashan picked up the pole and bucket, "I'll go to the village to fetch water, and I'll be back in a while."
Li Mo nodded, but seeing the back of him carrying the buckets away, he felt a little uncertain, his legs were so crippled, could he really walk back with two buckets of water? Will it be unstable and fall
But after thinking about it, he was the one who carried the water for the water tank before, and it was not the first time to dry it, so there should be no problem, so he calmed down and started washing the dishes seriously.
After washing the bowls and chopsticks, Li Mo put the bowls and chopsticks into the upper shelf of the side cabinet. There were only a few scattered plates inside, and there were only three bowls, all of which were chipped, and none of them was complete.
Li Mo sighed, there really isn't a single good thing in this family, if you change it, you have to change it all, it's all money, considering the current economic level of this family, it's a luxury.
Li Mo opened the door at the bottom of the cabinet again. There were only two cloth bags inside. One was filled with half a bag of brown rice, which was mixed with yellow, yellow and black, and I don't know what it was. I don't know if this little food is enough for half a month.
When the kitchen was almost cleaned up, Song Dashan came back carrying two buckets of water. Li Mo saw clearly that Song Dashan was carrying water, his legs were limping, and his body was indeed a little unstable, but he tried his best to keep his upper body steady , so that the buckets do not sway so much, so every time you take a step, there is not much water spilled out. When you arrive in the kitchen, there are more than half of each bucket left, and all of them are poured into the water tank, and the water tank is full.
Song Dashan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, saw that the kitchen had been tidied up, and asked Li Mo to go back to his room to rest, "It's nothing, you're in good shape, you'd better go back to your room to rest."
Li Mo couldn't find anything else to do for a while, so she nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back to my room." After thinking about it, she glanced at Song Dashan, "Then you now"
"I'm going to hoe the weeds in the field now, and I'll be back in the evening."
Li Mo thought of the little bun again, and hurried into the main room, but she didn't see anyone, and asked Song Dashan, "Where's Xiaobao?"
Song Dashan didn't care, "He went out to play, don't worry about it, he will come back when he gets tired from playing, go and rest."
Li Mo was a little worried that such a small little Douding was running outside, but remembered that this was ancient times, and it seemed that the children in the village were like this. Seeing that Song Dashan didn't care, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. into the room.
Li Mo lay on the bed, still unable to fall asleep for a while, blinking her eyes and looking at the thatch above her head, her thoughts drifted away.
She didn't know why such a bizarre thing like crossing happened. She used to think that such a thing only existed in novels, but she didn't expect it to happen to her herself. But anyway, to have another chance to live, she must Cherish it well and live your life well.
This is a feudal and conservative ancient time. It is unrealistic to go out alone. All she can do is to stay here, have a reasonable identity, and then find ways to improve the conditions of this family.
As for Song Dashan, she had to choose a person, and she couldn't choose, but according to the current situation, he is not bad. If he is always good, he can try to cultivate a relationship and become a real couple.
In her previous life, she was devoted to work and had no intention of marriage. When she was in her thirties, she wanted to start a family, but she didn't have a suitable partner. Sometimes she was too tired and wanted someone to lean on, but she couldn't do it. In the end, she didn't even know What are you working so hard for, but life pushes you, so you have to keep rushing forward desperately, and you can't stop. I didn't expect God to stop her in this way in the end.
Maybe, if you change your way of life, there is not so much pressure, you don’t have to fight everything on your shoulders, and there is a man who can protect you from the wind and rain, and there are cute children by your side, it will be a very good life.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so bad to come here.
Hearing a rustling sound at this moment, Li Mo looked towards the door, and saw a small figure hiding half of his body outside, only showing a little nod, seeing Li Mo looking over, he quickly moved The whole body retracted.
Li Mo smiled, knowing that the little man hadn't left outside, so she called softly, "Is it Xiaobao? Come in quickly."
After speaking, there was no movement at the door.
Li Mo waited patiently, and after a while, that small figure sneaked out a little bit again, looking at Li Mo on the bed, with timidity, curiosity, and temptation in his eyes.
Li Mo smiled more gently, and waved to him, "Little treasure, don't be afraid, come over to Aunt Mo, okay?"
People who knew her in her previous life regarded her as a strong woman, but few people know that she actually likes children very much in her heart. Every time she sees a baby in someone else's arms, she would sneak a few glances and even want to kiss her. It's a pity that she has never had a chance to have a baby of her own.
Seeing Xiaobao now, she actually likes it very much. Although she is not her own child, she will be her son in the future. She doesn't mind the question of whether her child is her own child or not. you.
Under Li Mo's patient persuasion, the little bun finally moved out slowly, approached Li Mo slowly step by step, and finally walked to the bed, twisted his little hands, and looked at the bed with his big black and white eyes. Li Mo.
Li Mo was softened by the cute eyes, and asked him softly: "Xiaobao, will Aunt Mo hug you to bed and sleep?"
The little guy looked at Li Mo blankly and didn't speak.
Li Mo asked again, and after a long time, the little guy nodded slightly.
Li Mo hurriedly sat up, and stretched out her hands to hug the little bun beside the bed onto the bed. Although her body was very stiff at the moment of hugging, she didn't struggle and was obediently hugged onto the bed by Li Mo.
Li Mo took off his shoes, took off his outer clothes, then stuffed them under the quilt, and lay down herself, very close to him.
Li Mo could feel that Xiao Baozi wanted to get close to her but didn't dare, so she was not in a hurry, so she started talking to him, "Xiao Bao, how old are you this year?"
Xiaobao was a little nervous. After a while, he stretched out four fingers and said in a childish voice, "Four years old."
Li Mo smiled and praised him, "Xiaobao is so powerful, everyone knows that he is Si, awesome!"
The little guy was so embarrassed by the praise, he forgot his nervousness for a moment, narrowed his eyes, stretched out a small palm to cover his mouth, and secretly smiled under his palm.
Li Mo was almost melted by his small appearance, took his hand, and said softly, "What did Xiaobao play outside just now?"
Xiaobao answered quickly, "Look at the little ants moving things. The little ants are small, and they are moving so big."
"Oh, is that so, the little ants are so powerful." Li Mo responded to his words, while getting closer to him, wrapping a hand around his small body, and gently stroking his back.
Xiaobao is no longer stiff now, and let Li Mo touch his small body relaxedly, happily talking about the process of the ants moving things.
Li Mo watched him speak, and couldn't help sighing secretly, this child is really good.
Under Li Mo's touch, Xiaobao fell asleep while talking.
Li Mo looked at him, carefully hugged him into her arms, and after a while, slowly fell asleep together with the little man.
