The Reborn Bamboo Horse Wife

Chapter 2

Xia Shiyuan stretched, got off the bed, put on his shoes and walked outside.The weather is now in mid-May, the sun is shining brightly, and everyone is wearing a thin layer!He looked down at his hands, feet and clothes, and the corner of his mouth twitched!I didn't feel it when I just woke up, but now I've realized it, and seeing myself crawling out of ashes is also drunk!Just now I felt that I was ashamed, but now I look at it!The clothes are very dirty, there is snot on the cuffs and so on, although almost all the seven or eight-year-old children in the village are like this, but I can't stand myself now as a tender old man!

The most urgent thing is to take a shower and change clothes!Close the door, it is just right to take a cold bath in such a hot day, and put the big basin between two sycamore trees to cover it a little. Besides, he is now a seven-year-old child, even if he takes a bath in broad daylight. Nothing.

After washing, I also washed the clothes and the sheets I just lay on. Fortunately, I didn't cover the quilt just now, otherwise I would have to remove the quilt cover!

Seeing a small round mirror in the room, I took it over and looked at my current appearance carefully. I feel that I still have eight points like my previous self!

The child's skin is also quite fair, the eyes are not too big, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and the bridge of the nose is not too high but very straight, which can be considered a good look!Although saying this seems to have the meaning of Wang Po selling melons and boasting!

After looking at it and putting the mirror back in place, Xia Shiyuan opened the door and walked out of the yard. It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and everyone was working and going to school, and there was basically no one outside!

He looked around and felt that the scenery here is really good. There are mountains and water. The mountain is called Langgu Mountain. It is said that some people just settled here during the Qing Dynasty. After washing, I saw countless bones in the mountain depression, and there was a wolf howling in the distance. At that time, a group of people were scared to death. Since then, they have never been to the deep mountains, but the name of Wolf Bone Mountain comes from this. !

Looking back, Xia Shiyuan felt that it was not a bad idea to settle on a mountain in this place. It was quiet, but it was all based on conditions. He was a poor man now, so it was too early to think about it, so he had to think about it now. Let the conditions of the family be better, how to make money!The ancients said: If you are honest, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace!Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, there is some truth to it. Now he is thinking about how to make his family live better and have enough food. Let's talk about it later!

Look at the sky, it's almost noon, the family is coming back soon, and it's time to cook!Xia Shiyuan's cooking skills are pretty good. When he was in the orphanage, he always couldn't get enough to eat. At that time, he would sometimes think that he would at least feed his own mouth when he was capable, not to mention anything else!Later, when he was in college, because he had a part-time job, he rented a house outside and cooked by himself. At this time, he not only wanted to eat, but also had to eat well!

Originally, boys digest faster when they grow up, and even if no one else cares about themselves, they have to treat themselves better!He didn't have any pursuit of being rich and powerful, and he didn't have any big requirements for clothes. He only talked about basic necessities of life, food, shelter, and transportation. He didn't have that condition at the time, so he worked hard on food and food!Of course, he didn't have a lot of money to eat big meals at that time, but the general ingredients were still affordable!He attends classes at school, does some part-time jobs, and thinks about how to make delicious food when he has nothing to do, which can be regarded as a great pastime at that time!Later, I went to work, but it became a habit to cook something to eat when I had nothing to do!

He walked into the kitchen, and as expected, there were not many dishes!There are only a few big pickles and a handful of small green vegetables. The vegetables grown by the farmers themselves have not yet grown in this season, and the pickles are almost gone. They are pickled when the weather is getting colder, and it is just right when the weather is hot. After eating, maggots will grow if the pickle jar is not cleaned in hot weather!

A lot of people eat wild vegetables. Of course, most of the children know these wild vegetables. When they don’t have time at noon and after school in the evening, they will come back with a small book on their backs for adults to cool or stir-fry!

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. He saw that there were still some soybeans at home, so he made simple soybean noodles after thinking about it!This meal is very simple. Wash the soybeans and put them in a pot of water. Boil them together until the water boils. Roll out the noodles on the chopping board. The handmade noodles are mainly strong. He has been cooking for so many years, and this is still no problem!The key is that now I am short and have less arm strength, and I have spent a lot of effort!Put some vegetables under the boiling water, this rice is simple and light!However, the aroma of soybeans is accompanied by the fresh air of green vegetables, which makes people look quite appetizing!

In fact, the heat of cooking is very important, and the difference in taste is also very different with different heat!How else to put it, a lot of people cook by one person and it tastes the same!

As soon as the pot was cooked, I heard the door open!When he went out, he saw Dad Xia just put down the hoe, and saw him coming out of the kitchen, and Mom Xia said, "Son, you don't feel bad anymore, what are you doing at the stove? You are hungry! Mom will do it right away, today It's a bit late to come back, so I can't catch up with your brother and the others to come back for dinner!"

Xia Shiyuan: "Mom, I'm all well. I'm just hungry to see if I can make something to eat. It's not..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia's mother cut him off: "What will you do if you get into the stove fire? Don't waste the food, you are hungry and sorry to say it!"

Father Xia: "You're so shy! Haha"

Xia Shiyuan: "..." His shy and introverted image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Xia's mother walked into the kitchen after washing her hands, opened the lid of the pot to add water, but saw the ready-made noodles, she was a little startled, and then shouted out: "His father, this Xiaoyuan seems to be really cooking, come and have a look! "

Father Xia walked in to have a look at the pot, and then walked out and shouted, "Xiao Yuan, you really cook? You really did it? Who did you learn from?"

Xia Shiyuan had already thought up his speech: "I usually follow my mother, when she cooks and when she chats with my aunts and aunts outside, I watch, listen and write down Alright, I’m hungry today, so I thought about trying and made it.”

Mother Xia: "Are you particularly talented in cooking? Why didn't you have a sound before?"

Father Xia: "Could it be that you were forced to come out because you were very hungry?"

Xia Shiyuan: "..." What can he say now?Silence is gold.

Father Xia: "Now that we've made it, let's try to see if we can eat it. It's funny if we can't eat it, haha"

Xia Shiyuan: "..."

Mother Xia scooped up three bowls of rice before she had time to eat, when she heard the sound of footsteps, and she knew that it was Xia Shijie and the others who had returned, so she hurriedly scooped up their rice as well.

The three of them put down their schoolbags, and Xia Shinuo said, "Xia Xiaoyuan, why are you willing to give up the house? Don't you feel bad?"

Xia Shiyuan: "It's okay, I'll go to school with you in the afternoon!"

Hearing this, Xia Shinuo yelled strangely: "You are bewitched today, why did you answer my words! It's so fast!"

Xia Shiyuan's mouth twitched when he heard this, do you have a tendency to be abused?

In fact, it's not surprising that Xia Shinuo had such a big reaction, after all, it's not easy for Xia Shiyuan to answer one sentence after three questions.

Xia Shiqiang shouted, "Where are you talking so much, hurry up and eat!"

But Xia Shijie said at this time: "Mom, your meal seems to be different from usual. The noodles are not so soft, and the soup is delicious."

Xia Shiqiang nodded in agreement, Xia's father just ate and worked all morning, oh, it's broken!

Xia's mother said proudly: "It's delicious! This is made by Xiaoyuan, and I think it's more delicious than mine!"

Hearing this, Xia Shijie and Xia Shiqiang looked at each other in disbelief, then turned to Father Xia and asked in unison, "Is it true?"

Father Xia hummed, and said, "There's no need to lie to you! When we came back, the meal had just been cooked."

Xia Shinuo: "Could it be because of yesterday's fright that you suddenly became enlightened? Oh, no, Xia Xiaoyuan, why are you dressed so neatly and cleanly today? You look different from usual!"

Hearing what he said, the others all looked at Xia Shiyuan and thought, not to mention that they haven't noticed yet, but the feeling is different!The face was completely white and clean, the nails were no longer dark, and the clothes were newly changed, which was very different from before!

Xia Shiyuan smiled and said: "When I went to school, no one would play with me. The teacher also said that I was too quiet, and the teacher also said that I have to be clean or I will get sick easily. I have to do my own things. Learn to be independent, I think the teacher's words are quite reasonable! Don't you think so?"

Father Xia: "Your teacher is right, but we haven't seen you listen to what we said so many times, you are quite listening to what your teacher said!"

Mother Xia didn't doubt it, after all, in the rural areas of this era, the teacher's prestige is quite good!Everyone thinks that the profession of teachers is also quite sacred, and many parents still want their children to grow up to be teachers and eat public meals!

Xia Shijie and Xia Shiqiang smiled after hearing this, and continued to eat after laughing!It's good that my little brother has this change, anyway, it's not a bad thing!

Xia Shinuo said with a strange smile: "You are really an obedient and good student!"

Xia Shiyuan smiled lightly, he also felt that his excuse was a bit far-fetched, but he definitely couldn't pretend to be the original kid, and he couldn't pretend either!Most importantly, he still wants to help his family live a better life. Whether he can do it is still unknown, but the character of the original owner can't do many things!

And many parents are still able to accept the teacher's advice now, which is much better than later generations!Many children will have a change after going to school, so it should not be a big problem to subtly let the family get used to the new him!
