The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

"Then you and Mu Dong will move the things away tomorrow morning. I'll go to the shop to help Mu Qiu and buy some pots and food to send to the farm." Song Yuntang said as he started to wash the pot and cook. "Second brother, help me boil the second pot of medicine. I'll cook first."

"it is good."

Song Jinsheng had been busy all morning, all doing physical work, and was really hungry now.

When he came here, he asked the people in the village to go home for dinner, and then return to the village to work after dinner.

He poured the herbs that Song Yuntang had picked out into the pot. Seeing that there was not much water left in the tank, he went out to Mu Dong's house and borrowed a bucket of water to fetch.

The first two buckets of water were poured directly into the big pot. The stove under the pot was set up to boil the water, and then two more buckets of water were picked up and poured into the water tank.

"Second brother, eat first."

Considering that Song Jinsheng had consumed a lot of physical energy today, I cooked a pot of white rice for him at noon, made two poached eggs with lard, and fried a bowl of bean sprouts.

The egg soup soaked with the burnt brown rice crust is fragrant.

Song Jinsheng washed his hands and came into the house. He looked at the two poached eggs in the bowl, and then looked at the only poached egg in Song Yuntang's bowl.

"Tang'er, your chickens and ducks have laid eggs with great difficulty. Don't give them all to me. Eat more for yourself." As he said this, he picked up one of the eggs and wanted to put it into Song Yuntang's bowl.

Seeing this, Song Yuntang hurriedly covered his bowl with his hands.

"One is enough for me."

Song Jinsheng couldn't persuade her, so he said, "I'll finish most of the things here for you after dinner. I have to go to the farm. I just got there, so I have to keep an eye on it. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Song Yuntang listened and looked at him.

"Brother, come to my place to rest tonight. I'll prepare bedding and clothes for you when I'm free in the afternoon, so you don't have to run around so early in the morning and even lose some sleep."

Song Jinsheng hurriedly shook his head. "I can come to your place to rest, but you don't need to prepare bedding and clothes. My expenses have been high recently, so save the money you have for expenses first."

Knowing that Song Jinsheng was saving money for her, Song Yuntang didn't say anything else.

Just go buy it after you finish your work in the afternoon. Since he is helping here, you can't be sure if he will stay overnight, so you must prepare some spare clothes and quilts.

It was the convenience of their brother-sister relationship. If it were someone else, she would definitely not dare to stay at home overnight.

After dinner, Song Jinsheng took a short break and then went to fetch another load of water with a bucket.

The medicine in the pot has been boiled. After the brother and sister scooped out the medicine juice, they continued to boil the next pot.

Song Jinsheng cleaned all the bamboo jars, picked up two loads of water, and returned the buckets to Mu Dong's house and went to the farm. There was still a pot of shampoo water left to fill the bamboo jars. There was not much work to do, and Song Yuntang could do it alone.

It was already the beginning of the You hour when she finished her work.

The white rice I had at noon was relatively filling. Although I had been busy all afternoon, I didn't feel particularly hungry. I took advantage of the sunset to go to the town and bought some bedding. Thinking that Song Jinsheng's clothes were often patched, I bought him two sets of comfortable fine cotton clothes and a pair of shoes.

The total cost was two hundred and sixty coins.

When he returned home, the sun had already set and Song Jinsheng was already waiting at the door. Seeing Song Yuntang coming with a bunch of things, he hurriedly rubbed his hands on the clothes on his back and stepped forward to take them.

"Tang'er, didn't I tell you not to buy bedding?"

"I can't ask you to sleep on a hard door every day. I also bought you two sets of clothes and a pair of shoes. After you wash up, try them on and see if they fit you. The clothes you're wearing are unwearable. You can throw them away later."

Song Yuntang said as he opened the gate with the key.

Song Jinsheng turned his head and looked at his sleeves which were covered with patches.

From childhood to adulthood, the clothes he wore were all the ones left over from his eldest brother's outgrown clothes. The only new set of clothes his mother made for him when his eldest brother got married to make him look good. But after he wore it once, his mother took it back, saying that his current clothes were enough and she would give him new ones when the old ones were worn out.

After a lot of twists and turns, the clothes appeared on my eldest brother during the Chinese New Year.

My mother said that my eldest brother was accompanying my eldest sister-in-law to visit her parents, and it was the New Year, so it was not appropriate to ask him to wear old clothes. Anyway, he had been used to picking up his eldest brother's old clothes for so many years, so he acquiesced to the family's practice.

Before, because Zhaozhao was a girl, her mother would occasionally make her a new set of clothes. Her two younger brothers were much older than her, so she had never picked up his old clothes. However, after his eldest brother and he wore them, the clothes were really unwearable. Her mother thought about the two of them having to study, so in order to prevent them from being looked down upon by their classmates, she made new clothes for them.

Although his family's financial situation was limited, he never had any bad thoughts about his parents when it came to food and clothing.

But when he saw the two new sets of clothes that Song Yuntang bought for him, he still felt a little aggrieved.

He never expected that the first new clothes he could truly own in his life were bought for him by his sister.

"Thank you, Tang'er."

Song Yuntang paused when he heard his voice, as if sensing his emotions. To avoid embarrassing him, he didn't look in his direction, but pretended to be unaware and said, "Second brother, go to the house and put your things away first. I'll go cook."

After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen, washed the rice and cooked a pot of porridge. He picked out two duck eggs from the basket with only five eggs left, made an omelet, and fried a plate of bean sprouts.

After Song Jinsheng put the clothes and bedding in Song Yuntang's room, he calmed himself down, went to the kitchen to scoop the shampoo water that she had hung in the big pot into a small vat and moved it under the eaves. He then took the bamboo pots and began to fill them one by one and covered them with lids.

About halfway through, Song Yuntang's meal was ready.

"Brother, let's eat first. After dinner, we'll drink together."

"it is good."

Song Jinsheng covered the bamboo pots in his hands and piled them together, then stood up, washed his hands, and went to the room to eat.

After the meal, the two of them drank the remaining medicine. Song Yuntang filled a basin of water and placed it in the toilet, then pushed Song Jinsheng towards the toilet.

"Hurry, hurry, put on your new clothes after washing them and let me see them."

Song Jinsheng smiled helplessly, followed her instructions, washed his hair carefully with shampoo, cleaned his body, and changed into a new set of clothes.

The new clothes are breathable, comfortable and cool. After taking a shower, I just feel relaxed.

Song Yuntang walked around him. The light gray jacket and dark blue trousers looked clean and neat, and fit him perfectly.

"Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Second brother looks really smart and handsome in this outfit."

Song Jinsheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Mom always says that I am not as good-looking as my eldest brother. No matter what I wear, it's the same. Only you say it looks good."
