Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

She laughed so hard that she was out of breath. She pointed at Xiao Sanzi and said, "Look at you. You are dressed in rags and your face is covered with dust and dirt. You look just like a little beggar!"

After hearing this, Xiao Sanzi shook his head and said with a smile: "What do you know? Grandpa Guan said that the most important thing about a person is his temperament. I am as gentle as jade. Even if I put on a sack, it can't hide my extraordinary temperament!"

He puffed out his chest proudly, as if there really was an aura of nobility emanating from him.

Han Zhaozhao looked at his conceited look and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

He teased, "Oh, you really think you are a nobleman? I think you are just a narcissist who indulges himself all day long.

But you're quite funny like this. You've been my source of laughter for the whole year! Remember, keep it up!"

She winked at him mischievously, with a cunning gleam in her eyes, filled with worry and blessing, hoping that his liveliness and innocence would continue.

He spread a sorghum straw basket and poured the remaining walnuts under the porch to dry and ventilate. Han Zhaozhao went to the backyard to use the toilet, picked up the eggs, washed his hands and face, and took the dishes and chopsticks to the cafeteria.

The food quality had dropped drastically, and she really didn't want to go. But she didn't show up at noon, and if she didn't go at night, people would think her family had hidden food.

What's more, her friends have invited her to the cafeteria one by one. Maybe they have already reserved a seat for her. Wouldn't it dampen their enthusiasm if she doesn't go?

"Zhao Zhao, here, here!" As expected, Niu Xiaoyun arrived earlier than her. Niu Xiaolian was also there, but Niu Xiaomin and Xiao Sanzi were not there.

This girl is very eager to eat. Well, they didn't have a proper meal at noon. They just cracked a few walnuts to fill their stomachs. They were hungry a long time ago.

"Zhao Zhao, Xiao Yun and I went up the mountain today. How much firewood did we collect? Is there no more nearby?"

"Hey, now even old men are out collecting firewood. It's normal that it's hard to collect firewood."

There were quite a lot of people in the cafeteria at this time, and the old neighbors saw her and talked to her in a friendly manner.

"Zhao Zhao, where did you pick these sour dates? They are half sour and half sweet, and they taste really good!

Next time you go, bring more home. My child only got two or three, and they were gone before he could even taste them. "

A woman in her twenties told Han Zhaozhao that she was holding a breastfeeding baby in her arms and was fiddling with the baby's ears while feeding him.

Han Zhaozhao was stunned. Who is this person? She didn't know him. She only knew that he was from the same alley. He looked familiar, but she couldn't tell which courtyard he was from.

Oh! He is also a greedy guy!

Listen to Yin'er, she is taking food from the child, and she is not ashamed to make demands on her. She doesn't even think about the fact that she and she are not familiar with each other, so who owes her anything?

Hehe, she clearly gave each of her children six sour dates, but it seems that her child is also a smart guy who knew to keep a few for himself. Are they scared by their own mother?

Give him a thumbs up! Such a child has his own ideas, and she supports him!

"How can I have the time to pick sour jujubes for you? I picked these today when I was collecting firewood. I saw them and picked them for my brothers and sisters to satisfy their cravings.

There is a task to deliver firewood every day. Failure to complete it will hinder the steelmaking in the street.

How about you help me collect firewood and I'll help you pick hawthorns, and we can swap jobs? This way we both won't be delayed!"

"How can I have the time? I have to take care of the kids and do the laundry and cleaning at home.

If it weren’t for the big canteen, I wouldn’t even have time to cook for myself.”

The woman exclaimed, she had no job, and she did her housework perfunctorily under the guise of taking care of her baby, but she went up the mountain to pick hawthorns? How could it be possible!

"Qing's daughter-in-law, what are you thinking? You are so lazy at home that you order other people's children to pick sour dates for you to eat?

Are you still asleep? Don't you feel guilty for saying this at such a young age?

Nowadays even a child knows that they should work to contribute to communism. If you don’t want to do it, don’t hold others back and just stay at home!

Humph! What kind of person is this? He has no awareness at all. The old Qing family has poor taste. What kind of daughter-in-law did they marry? "

"That's right, what kind of person is he, fighting with a child for food, lazy and greedy, you can tell at a glance that he is not a serious person."

"The Qing family is an honest family, but they never expected to marry such a troublemaker. She's always messing around with her child, and she doesn't even bother to help when someone falls down. She's really unlucky for the rest of her life!"

"Hehe, who can blame me for being so capable? I gave birth to two children in three years and I never leave my children alone. I have a legitimate reason to be lazy.

The old couple of the Qing family dared not complain about the coldness while holding ice cubes in their mouths. Their daughter-in-law was so pretty and attractive, and the young man of the Qing family treated her like a treasure! Hehehehe!"

A widower in the alley spoke up, and his words got to the heart of the matter.

The men present had different expressions, some were jealous, some were envious, some agreed, and some understood what the baby meant. They stole a glance at the big white bun that the baby was sucking on, with obscene and intoxicated smiles on their faces.

Everyone echoed, and the women glared at the men next to them. Silence is better than words, just let them understand!

The Qing family's daughter-in-law's face turned red and she muttered a few words, "What does it have to do with you? You are just worrying about it. You must have nothing better to do!" She then left with the child.

Han Zhaozhao and Niu Xiaoyun smiled at each other and prepared to finish their meal and go home. The cafeteria was becoming more and more noisy, and she didn't want to stay any longer.

Alas, dinner was again vegetable soup with half a steamed corn bread, except that the cabbage soup was replaced with radish soup.

Han Zhaozhao held the steamed bread tightly in his hand, gulped down the carrot soup, and when no one was paying attention, he flipped his hand and sneaked into the space.

Hehehe! This way I won't poison my friends. I stole a glance at Niu Xiaoyun, the silly kid buried his face in the big bowl, drinking soup in big gulps!

I have to say that the radishes of this era are rich in flavor and have a fresh fragrance, and are still very delicious.

It would taste better if you put some chopped green onion and ginger in a pot, sprinkle some pepper on it, and mix it with some thin batter!

Hearing Han Zhaozhao muttering in a low voice, Niu Xiaoyun curled her lips and said, "Don't dream of getting married - you're just dreaming! I heard that the food hasn't come down this month. I'm afraid the good days before are gone forever!"

Han Zhaozhao: Niu Xiaoyun is an expert at cooling down. It is unlikely that you will get heatstroke if you play with her in the summer.

"Eat your meal well, even steamed bread can't stop your mouth!"

Niu Xiaolian secretly glanced at the people eating at the same table around her. Fortunately, none of them were troublemakers, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know how to use words? Would it be a good thing for me to have a wife? Niu Xiaoyun, don't forget, I am a girl!"

Hearing that Niu Xiaoyun's topic was sensitive, Han Zhaozhao decisively interrupted.

"Oh, that's right! Look at my mouth and brain splitting apart again. I'm used to scolding little bastards. Hehe, the words are good, but I used them on the wrong person! Hehehe!"

"Hey, what's hey? You two are so unruly, a pair of bickering lovers! Hurry up and eat. The house hasn't been cleaned in a few days. The dust on the table is almost a finger thick. I have to go home and clean up while it's still early."

She had a lot of work to do at home and didn't have the time to chat in the cafeteria.
