Rebirth 70: Ex-wife, don’t even think about cutting off your beard this time!

It was already dark.

It took a lot of effort to prepare the cornmeal batter and serve it, mainly because they were sent to the village down the mountain today, which delayed their search for firewood on the mountain.

It is definitely not convenient to find firewood in the mountains right now. The few firewood left at home are not enough to burn.

There was no time to fetch water. Even if they did, the two of them had to take turns, otherwise one person wouldn't even be able to carry the bucket back.

He carefully brought a bowl of cornmeal batter and placed it on the kang table. There were three bricks under the kang table, otherwise the kang table would be missing a leg.

The two sisters did not bring cornmeal batter to the table. Mother's bowl of cornmeal batter was very thick.

Jiang Dong glanced at the cornmeal paste, then raised his head and looked at the two girls.

"Where's yours?"

"Mom, we'll eat on the stove later. After we finish eating, we're going to go to the door to pull some mugwort to smoke out the mosquitoes. Otherwise, we won't be able to live in this house."

The big doubles covered, and the second doubles also smiled and said,

"Mom, I'm eating here on the stove. There's light here. If I sit there, I can't even see it.

Mom, please leave us alone. "

Jiang Dong sighed, how could she not see the thoughts of the two children?

Even in the poor lighting, she could tell that the bowl of paste was obviously much thicker than usual.

"It's time for you two to grow, so don't fool me. Come here, and each of you can stir up a little bit.

What's the point of just drinking water? "

In order to take care of themselves, the two children tried their best to feed themselves the best food at home.

But the man who killed a thousand swords only gave them half a catty of cornmeal a day, which was not enough for them to eat?

This is the time when the two children started growing vegetables in the open space next to the cave dwelling.

The life they live now is not even as good as the life they had at home.

Although the family was poor at the time, the couple worked together and the children could barely make ends meet.

But now, together with my three children, I only have half a catty of cornmeal a day, which makes me feel sad just thinking about it.

How could I live my life like this?

At first, I understood that Liu Jianli was having a hard time in business, and I always thought about him and said nothing to my brother.

He didn't want Liu Jianli to feel that he was using his natal brother to suppress Liu Jianli, but he couldn't bear to think of this wolfish ambition.

Her tolerance, consideration, and concessions finally made this man cruel.

By the time she wanted to find her brother again, this village had already been established by Liu, and there was no place for them, mother and daughter.

Jiang Dong hated it, hated himself.

"Mom, please leave us alone. We pulled two cucumbers from the ground.

It's okay, you can eat as much as you want, so hurry up and eat your meal.

You are not in good health and you need to take good care of yourself.

Tomorrow when my sister and I go up the mountain to cut firewood, we will see if we can dig out two more bird's nests.

The bird eggs you picked out last time have never been seen again, and the bird eggs you picked out can also replenish your health. "

Dashuang said freely and lit the candle.

Ershuang also nodded,

"Mom, let's dig out the bird's nest tomorrow."

In fact, there is no such good luck. The two sisters wandered around the mountains all year round, trying to make up for the family, but they could only encounter the bird's nest two or three times.

This mountain is so deep. They dare not go deep into the mountain. They heard that there are wolves and blind bears in the deep mountains.

If they could escape from the mountains, they would have escaped long ago, mainly because they didn't have the strength to carry their mother on their backs.

His father's calculation was so good that he trapped them in this place.

How dare they eat the cucumbers in the fields? The cucumbers they harvest are to be used as food for the family.

One side should be kept to make pickles for winter.

Otherwise, they won’t even have vegetables in winter.

The two little girls were worried there, so they could only carry two bowls and pretend to drink water.

But even though he drank hot water, it was just enough to fill him up.

It feels like the front of my heart is pressed against my back, and my whole body is hungry.

Jiang Dong had no choice but to stop drinking after half a bowl of cornmeal paste, and forced his daughter to take the bowl away.

She knew that the two children were reluctant to waste it, and the weather was so hot, so they would definitely drink the remaining cornmeal paste.

The three of them fell asleep.

Although the two children drank half a bowl of cornmeal batter, they were still hungry enough to wake up in the middle of the night.

Dashuang turned over hungry and clenched his stomach with his hands.

Mainly stomachache due to hunger.

Seeing his sister turn over, he immediately knew that her sister was just like him.

Quietly, he turned sideways and glanced at his mother sleeping next to him.

strange!

My mother didn't sleep soundly in the past. Whenever she made any movement, my mother would know why she didn't seem to respond today.

Quietly, he reached out and touched his mother, but felt that her whole body was hot.

He hurriedly sat up and touched his mother's forehead with his hand. Sure enough, it was so hot that it even burned his hand.

Shaking my mother hastily,

"Mom, Mom, how are you?"

Jiang Dong groaned unconsciously, turned over, and closed her eyes again. She was completely confused by the fever.

Ershuang had been awakened by his sister's voice and hurriedly got up.

I touched my mother and said anxiously,

"Sister, what should we do?"

"Go down quickly and scoop out water from the pot. Bring half a basin of water over, and I'll wipe my mother's body.

Then I poured a bowl of water for my mother and put a little salt in it. "

Ershuang quickly jumped down to take a look, and went directly to the stove to touch the pot.

Because in order to save firewood, the fire was put out early, and now the pot is cold.

Opening the door that was held up with a stick inside, he quickly went under the window to get some firewood and came in to light it.

"Sister, you have to wait a while, the fire is out."

Because their voices were trembling in panic, neither of the two sisters mentioned going down the mountain to ask for help.

My mother has been sick numerous times in the past two years, and this is not the first time they have encountered this high fever.

When their mother had a high fever for the first time, they ran to the hospital for help, but no one cared about them.

After experiencing countless disappointments, the two sisters have been able to cope with this situation with ease.

But there were only two sticks of firewood under the window, and the fire went out before it could be lit.

Ershuang rushed to the kang in a hurry.

"Sister, there's not enough firewood."

I didn’t know what to do for a while. I didn’t know what the reaction would be if I used cold water.

He gritted his teeth, put on his shoes, got off the kang, and put on his coat.

"I'm going to chop wood."

Er Shuang was anxious.

He grabbed Da Shuang and said,

"Sister, it's so dark on the mountain that you can't even see the mountain road. There are so many cliffs. If you fall, you'll be doomed."

The two sisters have lived on this mountain for so many years, how could they not know what the situation is like on this mountain?

"Then what should we do? Mom is so burned that she's so burned. If she waits until dawn, she won't be able to burn anything."

"You can't just look at mom..."

The two pairs held down their sister.

"I'll go, I'll chop wood, don't worry about it."

As he said this, he went to get the axe, but was held back by Da Shuang.

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm your sister. I know the mountain roads better than you."

"You stay at home and I go up to the mountain to chop wood."

“No one has to go up the mountain to chop wood!”

A sudden unfamiliar voice startled the two sisters.
