The real daughter has a good way to support her husband, and the small peasant girl has caused a sen

After a while, the riverbed returned to normal and fish began to swim over.

Su Xiaoxiao aimed at a fish, held the branch tightly, and stabbed it hard.

Pfft!

A fat fish was pierced by a branch and kept twisting its body in pain.

A touch of bright red flowed out from the fat fish's body, giving color back to a small area of ​​river water.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly pulled the branch out of the water and took out the fat fish on it.

Use the prepared dogtail grass to pass through the fish's gills and out of the fish's mouth, tie it around your waist, and continue to catch the next fish.

Soon, the second fish was caught.

Satisfied, she took the two fish, put on her worn straw sandals, and prepared to go home with the washbasin.

Thinking of the delicious fish she was about to eat, she couldn't help but slurp.

According to the original owner's memory, Su Xiaoxiao headed towards a lonely, dilapidated thatched house at the east end of the village.

There were three thatched houses, low and dilapidated.

The half-man-high fence was crooked.

Push open the wooden door with a missing corner.

The wooden door creaked harshly.

The sound caught the attention of Su Chengen, who was squatting in the corner of the yard and playing with his fingers.

He looked up at the door vigilantly, and when he saw it was Su Xiaoxiao, he felt relieved.

The sallow little face instantly turned up, and he stood up with a big smile on his face and ran over to greet him.

"Sister is back?"

His cheeks were sunken and his big dark eyes looked a little scary.

Due to long-term malnutrition, his physical development was delayed and he looked only seven or eight years old at the age of ten.

He was not born stupid, but had a high fever at the age of four that damaged his brain and he did not receive timely treatment.

My IQ has remained at the level of a four or five-year-old.

This child is so pitiful!

Su Xiaoxiao touched Su Chengen's little head sympathetically and asked softly.

"How's Mom?"

"Mom was sleeping the whole time. I didn't disturb her. Am I a good girl?" Su Chengen's face was full of "seeking praise".

"Cheng'en is naturally the best behaved one!" Su Xiaoxiao rewarded him generously.

Gululu...

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chengen's stomach growled.

He lowered his head and touched his shriveled belly with a confused look on his face.

"Oh, I just drank a big bowl of water, why is my stomach still growling?"

Su Xiaoxiao felt sad when she heard this.

This child doesn't cry or make a fuss when he is hungry, but drinks water to fill his stomach. It would be great if such a sensible child were normal!

She swore in her heart that as long as she was there, she would never let her family go hungry again.

She squatted down, her eyes level with Su Chengen's.

"Cheng'en, you have to eat when you're hungry. I just caught some fish, so I'll cook it for you now, okay?"

Su Chengen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"We have fish? Wow, that's great!"

Su Chengen, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, jumped up happily and danced.

Su Xiaoxiao's mouth corners slightly raised, her eyes full of doting.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake up mother."

Su Chengen immediately covered his mouth with his hands and nodded rapidly.

Mom is not in good health and needs more rest. He should be obedient and not disturb her.

It was almost time for lunch, so Su Xiaoxiao didn't waste any more time. She took Su Chengen's hand and went to the kitchen.

There is only a simple earthen stove in the kitchen.

Next to the earthen stove, on a shelf made of a few wooden boards, there were the few remaining coarse grains and a little bit of salt and other seasonings.

There were still some wild vegetables picked by the original owner in the broken basket.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shake her head.

If you want to cook fish well, it is best to add some soybean paste and cooking wine.

There was no cooking wine in this era, so rice wine could be used instead to remove the fishy smell of the fish.

But now I don’t have these two things at home, where can I get them?

This little problem didn't bother her at all.

In the end times, what she was best at was finding supplies.

She searched the original owner's memory and asked Su Chengen to wait at home while she went out to look for him.

She walked into the village with her thin body and after about five minutes, she arrived at the door of Aunt Lin's house.

The gate was open, and you could clearly see what was happening in the yard.

Aunt Lin was wearing a patched grey coarse cloth short coat and was working in the yard.

Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door gently.

"Auntie Lin..."

Aunt Lin stopped what she was doing, looked up at the door, and when she saw it was Su Xiaoxiao, she quickly put down her work and strode over.

"Xiao Xiao? How's your head?"

When she heard that the Su family forced Su Xiaoxiao into a ghost marriage, her eyes were filled with heartache.

I wanted to wait until she was done with her work before going to see Su Xiaoxiao, but unexpectedly Su Xiaoxiao arrived first.

"It still hurts a little, but it's okay, it will be fine after some rest!" Su Xiaoxiao didn't care, with a smile on her face.

"You kid, you're injured so badly, yet you still say you're fine. Why are you so stubborn?" Aunt Lin felt a lump in her throat and her eyes turned red.

If it were another child, after experiencing such a terrible thing, he would probably have burst into tears and hidden in his parents' arms for comfort.

Only Su Xiaoxiao, who was loved by no one, could still laugh.

She really wanted to take Su Xiaoxiao to see a doctor, but her family was not well off and she was unable to afford it.

When Su Yong was alive, he helped her family a lot, but now she can't help Su Xiaoxiao, and she feels a little guilty.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about all this and directly stated the purpose of her trip.

"Auntie Lin, to be honest, I came here to borrow something from you. Is that okay?"

Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he wanted to borrow money?

She is short of money and really can't help.

But since the child had already spoken, she couldn't refuse.

she asked tentatively.

"What to borrow?"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke a little embarrassedly.

"I caught a fish and want to cook it for my mother and brother, but I don't have enough seasoning at home. Can you lend me some soybean paste and rice wine?"

Due to the shortage of food in rural areas, villagers like to make some soybean paste.

Doenjang is easy to store, salty enough, goes well with rice, saves on ingredients, and is inexpensive.

Aunt Lin makes soybean paste every year.

Hearing this, she finally let go of the worry in her heart.

"Yes, yes, wait, I'll get it for you!"

She went straight to the kitchen, opened the jar of soy sauce, filled a bowl with soy sauce, and took out a few whole grain steamed buns.

She looked up at the small bottle of rice wine hanging on the beam, which her husband was reluctant to drink. She felt a little distressed, so she found a stool, stepped on it, and took it down.

She looked at the red peppers drying under the eaves, picked two and gave them to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Take this chili pepper too. Add some to the fish when cooking to remove the fishy smell. Remember to use less. Your mother is weak and can't eat anything too spicy, okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, "I know Aunt Lin."

When her eyes fell on those coarse-grain steamed buns, her nose felt a little sour.

Aunt Lin's family was not having a good time either, but they didn't expect that Aunt Lin would be willing to give her their food rations.

It really is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed!

In such an emergency, she had no choice but to accept it.

After accepting everything, she bowed in thanks.

"Thank you, Auntie Lin. I'll remember your kindness and will repay you in the future!"

"I didn't help much, this little thing is nothing, no need to return it, just go home!"
