Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Han Zhaozhao smiled and said, this girl is very smart and can learn it in no time.

"Niu Xiaoyun, this question is so simple, you just don't like to use your brain. In Han Zhaozhao's words, Yin is still the same Yin, just changed his vest, how come you don't recognize him?"

Han Zhaozhao covered her face and thought, oh, the third child is so naughty, she shouldn’t be so rude, why did she tell them classic jokes of later generations?

"You are the same, aren't you? If you have the ability, get a perfect score and show me.

Zhao Zhao has said it before, there are only those main themes in elementary school, and the rest are just developments based on the main themes. No matter how they change, they all remain essentially the same.

If you had mastered all of them, you would have been the top student in the class. You are only in the top three now, which means you are not good enough. "

Xiao Sanzi was almost choked to death by Niu Xiaoyun, and whispered awkwardly: "You speak so chokingly, who will dare to marry you in the future? The old saying is true, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise'!"

"What are you mumbling about? If you have something to say, just say it openly. Don't talk about me behind my back."

Xiao Sanzi rolled his eyes and Han Zhaozhao laughed. These two, a chatterbox and a fierce girl, loved to argue when they got together, and it was a lot of fun when they started bantering.

"Zhao Zhao, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

Niu Xiaoyun was lying on the octagonal table doing her homework, while Han Zhaozhao wrung out a rag and wiped the furniture again.

"Wait a minute, I'll go cook after I finish cleaning. You can eat at my house tonight. I'll make more. Xiaoyun, you can stay too."

"Don't do it, my sister is at home cooking." Niu Xiaoyun replied without raising her head.

She knew that the supply was becoming less and less, that fine grains had mostly been replaced with coarse grains, that cornmeal was mixed with corncob powder, and that many of her neighbors were starving.

Food was too precious, and Zhaozhao was honest, so if they invited him (her) to dinner, they would definitely cook something good. Her mother said that if she couldn't help Zhaozhao, she should try to rob the Han family as little as possible.

Xiao Sanzi took the rag from Han Zhaozhao's hand and said, "I'm not eating here either. My dad and my second brother are coming home from a business trip today, and my mom is cooking braised pork tonight.

Just give me a piece of potato to fill my stomach. I didn’t have enough for lunch and I’m starving now.”

Han Zhaozhao: "Okay, there's a steamed potato left in the cupboard from this morning. If you don't mind choking, I'll get it for you."

"How can you complain about the food being cold? Let's have braised pork at his house tonight. Just show your appreciation."

Niu Xiaoyun said with a sour tone that she also wanted to eat braised pork. By the way, her family had not bought meat for a long time. Her mother exchanged her meat coupons for the chairman of their factory labor union for a piece of cloth to make a Zhongshan suit for her eldest brother.

Now that I'm grown up, I can't go out without clothes.

Han Zhaozhao went to the kitchen and secretly took out two fist-sized steamed potatoes from the space. She specifically chose the cold ones.

When taking things out of the space, Han Zhaozhao always remembered the details so as not to be too abnormal.

There was half a can of fried noodles at home, so she made three bowls of it and gave one bowl to each of her three friends. She knew that if she didn't drink it, Niu Xiaoyun would definitely feel embarrassed to drink it.

"Niu Xiaoyun, are you hungry? I'd like to share a potato with you." Xiao Sanzi is not the kind of person who eats alone.

"No, you eat it yourself. I'm not hungry. With this bowl of fried noodles, I'm basically full. I can even save half a steamed bun for dinner at home."

Niu Xiaoyun knew that the little brat was eating his father out of money, and the third son's stomach was like an elastic band, so he could still eat two more potatoes.

The boy is never idle, and adding this meal will definitely not prevent him from making braised pork in the evening.

Her eldest brother and second brother are like this. It seems that if you give them all the food for the whole family, their stomachs can be filled and they never feel full.

No matter what time it is, the first thing he asks when he walks in is, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat at home?"

It seems that the only purpose of going home is to eat. In her mother's words, "This house is their restaurant!"

Smelling the rich aroma of fried noodles, Niu Xiaoyun drooled as she finished her homework at an extremely fast speed. The pencil left an afterimage.

After finishing the fried noodles, Han Zhaozhao smiled and watched them lick the bowl.

"Is it that serious? Why are you two acting like dogs? This is too dirty. Can't you just pour some boiling water to rinse the dishes?"

"How is it dirty? I'm not a stranger. You don't understand, how can the water used to wash the bowl be as fragrant as licking the bowl? This is a different kind of pleasure!"

Xiao Sanzi argued confidently, refused to admit the slander, and spoke a lot of fallacies and heresies.

"That's right. You should try it too. It smells delicious when you lick it. The more you lick it, the better it tastes!"

Well, these two are now allies again.

"Zhao Zhao, after the rain, let's go deep into the mountains and look for some land to plant some potatoes or sweet potatoes, right?"

After rushing to wash the dishes, Niu Xiaoyun approached Han Zhaozhao and made a suggestion.

"I've thought about it, it's not cost-effective to go any further. Time is wasted on the road, management can't keep up, and the seeds will be eaten by weeds. If the harvest is not good, it's a waste of effort and seeds.

There are many animals in the deep mountains. If we are not careful, our work will be in vain and we will be working for the animals for nothing."

Niu Xiaoyun remained silent. She understood the logic, but she was just worried when she saw the food supply at home decreasing rapidly.

Don’t think too much about it, she will feel bad if you think too much!

"Zhao Zhao, have you heard that Sister Xue Tao and Sister Xue Xing are no longer going to school, and Sister Xue Tao is looking for a husband."

Gossip king Niu Xiaoyun started the gossip today.

"What? That's impossible. How old is Xue Tao? I remember she's only fifteen or sixteen this year?

Xue Xing is two years younger, only thirteen or fourteen. Why is she not going to school and staying at home? "

Han Zhaozhao was surprised, but after thinking carefully, she realized that she had been busy since the New Year and hadn't seen the two sisters for a long time.

"I met Xue Ying this afternoon, and I really hadn't heard about this."

Influenced by her parents, Niu Xiaoyun couldn't stand the Xue couple.

"It's not surprising. Xue Ying's father doesn't treat girls as human beings. The two older girls were often beaten by his shoes. Only Xue Ying was treacherous, but she had her two sisters in front to protect her. She was beaten less and didn't have to do much work.

My mother said that since Xue Shiqi injured his eye, Xue Ying's father's temper has become even worse. If he is not working, he will not be home for a long time except drinking. He will beat the children to vent his anger when he is not satisfied.

His family was in a lot of debt and had no money to send their two daughters to school. It was said that Xue Tao had been looking for a job everywhere before and after the New Year, but no factory was hiring and she didn't get a job.

Xue Ying's father was anxious, saying that the family didn't want to keep idle people, and spread the word that Xue Tao was looking for a husband. As long as the conditions were right, he would agree to marry his daughter off. "

Han Zhaozhao didn't understand. "That's not right. If they want to marry their daughter, Xue Tao is not old enough. Even if they get engaged, won't the Xue family still support her for a few years?"

She remembered that now the legal age for marriage is 18 years old for women.

Xiao Sanzi chuckled, "This is not a problem, Zhaozhao, if the Xue family wants to marry off their daughter, they can just ask someone to go to the police station to change her age.

Don’t forget, ten years ago, many people got married at the age of twelve or thirteen.”

Han Zhaozhao was speechless.
