Chapter 9: Hungry, Really Hungry
Actually, Shen Sisi was so hungry that she thought of eating everything. Unfortunately. Actually being a foodie is very blissful.
Shen Sisi is really hungry now, so as soon as she entered the door, she rushed in, "Mother, is dinner ready?!"
It's called a meal, but it's actually porridge with black bread and pickles. And because of the difficulties, people in this village only eat two meals a day... Others have gotten used to it, but Shen Sisi sometimes really feels like dying...
For someone who is used to eating three meals a day, you let her eat only two meals every day, it's simply taking her life away. So, she would do everything possible to catch fish and shrimp between the two meals to satisfy her hunger, because she was so hungry that she felt dizzy and saw stars, and wanted to eat anything...
As soon as I entered the house, I was called "mother", and my eyes were fixed on the few chickens in the house, their beaks shining with saliva... When can I finally eat chicken? Authentic firewood chicken, native chicken...
Tears, the chicken can't eat it, even if it's just an egg, but the eggs at home are all counted, they're for trading... Even if she wants to secretly eat one, she'll be found out... It's all tears.
Others who travel through time and space never worry about food or clothing, but she traveled through time and was blinded by hunger... it's too tragic.
He Yaxiu came out of the kitchen and said, "You little girl, where have you run off to again? You're already eight years old, it's time for you to stay at home and learn some domestic skills. Why are you always running around and causing trouble, following those village boys everywhere? What kind of behavior is this?"
After all, she couldn't bear to scold her only daughter, so she glared at her three sons and said: "You three brothers don't take care of your sister..."
Three people were extremely wronged, what's it to her?! Who was in charge of whom after all?! The three didn't dare to make a sound, only saying: "Mother, we're hungry..."
Half-sized children, eating poor father, looking at the frail appearance of three sons and one daughter, He Axiu sighed and said: "When your dad comes back, we'll have dinner, go wash your face and hands first..."
It turns out that He Axiu is also from a good family, she is the daughter of a scholar, although she has fallen on hard times, but since childhood, she has been particular about things, especially before eating, she must wash her hands, this point, coincides with Shen Sisi.
Shen Sisi didn't dare respond to He Axiu's words and quickly pulled the three brothers to the well to wash their hands.
To be honest, she doesn't want to go out every day to find food either. It's just that she's really hungry. As a person who is used to staying at home, if she can keep eating and drinking, it wouldn't be bad for her to stay at home like other women in society. Although there's nothing here, she has creativity, and without entertainment, she can create her own entertainment, so it's not that she dislikes staying at home, but... hunger is a big problem...
History has proven that when people are hungry, all human nature can be put aside...
In Shen Si's case, when hungry, a lazy girl can become a diligent and motivated girl.
Zhong Gensheng entered the door with a hoe on his shoulder, and also carried a basket containing several taro roots and their vines wrapped together in a bundle, which was one of the most common foods for rural people.
He Ahxiu took the frame and put it in the simple kitchen's storage room, then took out the bamboo leaves to the well side and instructed: "Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Tuniang, after dinner, take these out and press them out. If you don't do it now and let the water pass through overnight, they will rot tomorrow. Now, get them out and we'll stir-fry them for breakfast. Not a single one of you is allowed to be lazy..."
