Chapter 5: Gratitude
The first to react was the nearest ouch, reaching out to pull her.
The rest of the women also persuaded us, "The fifth girl can torment us." ”
"The five girls can't help it, it's nothing more than a bite of food, and it shouldn't be a big gift."
"Five Girls......"
Satisfied, but like taking root on the ground, she just didn't get up, and between the tears and her eyes, she seemed to see the scene when she first came to this place.
It's cold, locked in the room, the cold can still come out of the cracks in the ground, all the way into the bones, so cold that she even has a hard heart, not to mention the meal that has not been eaten, if it weren't for the hunger and unbearable, she wouldn't have found a way to come out to find food.
Before finding the abandoned sugar house, no one knew better than her when the radish and vegetable melons grown in the east family's vegetable garden could be eaten, when the loquat in the west family's yard would be ripe, and what the trifolic acid and thorny golden cherry seeds in the field would taste like.
"Come and see this dish, it's time for the ground to turn", "In a few days, this cucumber will be able to eat, bite the Gaba crispy!" These were the words that the villagers would say aloud before they entered the vegetable patch, and at first she thought them amused, but gradually, when she found out the secret, she could no longer laugh.
Where are they accustomed to talking like this, just for fear of scaring her.
"Don't move, this poop is used to worship the place, it's good if we don't go hungry, we have to be grateful to repay the ......" This is the elderly mother-in-law, who broke the grain from her grandson's hand and reverently quietly placed it on the stone behind the house.
I also have to look at it from time to time, and after she takes it away, she silently recites Amitabha.
And these have become the food in the mouth of satisfaction, these things pulled out from between her teeth, let her survive like this, almost all of them are raw and cold, but after swallowing, the satisfied heart warms.
She didn't have much sunrise during the day, for fear of disturbing each other, and the more things she took, the more guilty she felt, and she didn't know what face to use against these simple people.
Yes, for so long, she knew that they were difficult, but she didn't know that it was difficult to be like this.
Her rough hands were torn apart, and her clothes were washed and the color of her clothes was intertwined with the "five cents a day" and "one vegetable for two days...... she heard in the vegetable garden in the morning, blurring her eyes.
Satisfied held back tears and said, "Uncles and aunts, this kindness of life has been recorded with satisfaction, and I dare not forget it at any time." ”
After saying that, she brushed and kowtowed three times.
She didn't say in detail, but as soon as the scene that was broken just now was connected with the rumors in the village before, everyone still didn't understand something, and they burst into tears on the spot.
"This kid, where is this?"
"Evil, if my father and mother are still here, my heart hurts to death."
Hu Bushou was a little uncomfortable, feeling that he was obviously in front of him, but there was a wall that separated him from the outside, this feeling was not good, very bad!
Seeing that everyone was crying, she was a little overwhelmed with satisfaction, and she was even more determined in her heart, there was kindness to repay kindness, and revenge to revenge, even if she was not able to do it in front of her, she also wrote it down.
Until many years later, when I was satisfied with the scene at this moment, I still couldn't help crying, and I was able to grit my teeth and get through the difficult days, and I never thought of giving up, which is a later story.
Satisfaction said in a hoarse voice with a nasal voice, "Look at me, I'm sad, what's this, I'm hungry." ”
As soon as she said that she was hungry, everyone wiped away their tears.
"This rice cake is delicious, with sugar in it, it is very sweet."
"It's better to boil water and scald this dish, mix it with chili peppers, and my kid can eat three bowls of rice!"
"Eat this loquat, a tree, just ripe these few, it can be seen that there is also a blessing, God likes it."
"Eat ......"
Satisfied, he looked at the things piled up in front of him, and swallowed his saliva.
It's hard to refuse, so I thought of a compromise and said softly: "I heard grandpa say that porridge is the most nourishing, and there are soybeans and peanuts here, and you can also put eggs and vegetable leaves, all of which are put in to boil hot and thick, thinking that it is delicious." ”
She didn't think much of it when she said this, and she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten hot food until she went to the abandoned candy house.
But I didn't know that when I heard these words in people's ears, I turned my back to wipe my tears, and the poor child, if he hadn't been starved, how could he have said a bowl of porridge, and he would have been hungry like this.
Qiu Niang's eyes were also red, and she twitched her nose a few times and held back, "Since the fifth girl wants to drink porridge, we will follow her wishes, so let's do it, Cuixin, you take two people to get pots and bowls, ouch yo take a few people to wash the vegetables and come back to boil, I will lead them to clean up the house for the five girls......"
After a few words, it was quickly arranged.
After Qiu Niang said this, no one looked at Hu Bushou.
He didn't pay much attention to these people, so he simply stepped aside and went out, not very relieved, so he called someone to come and watch.
These people can't even eat enough, so they can't make a fuss, Hu Bushou thought.
It's a loss of face today, and that Zhao Laohan really has to clean up, he thought again.
The corner of the courtyard paved with green bricks soon became lively, and Cuixin quickly brought people over, holding pots and pans, and they also washed things with their hands and feet.
Qiu Niang helped her up with satisfaction, pinched her arms and legs, "Fifth girl, is there anything uncomfortable about you?" ”
Satisfied smiled and shook his head, very grateful to Zhao Lao Han and Qiu Niang, seeing her looking at herself worriedly, her eyes rolled smartly, approached her and said: "Auntie just let me be satisfied, I didn't suffer, it was Aunt Gao who moved the stone and hit her own feet,"
Seeing that she was talking like a naughty child, and she didn't look like she was having something, Qiu Niang's heart was relieved, and she laughed, "That's good, that old thing is not a good thing!" ”
Then he said: "Although this is already spring, there are still some things on the bed, don't dislike the straw laid down here, it is all white and clean, combed and tied with small bundles, and a list is laid on it, this bedding is my marriage when I get married, first of all, taking advantage of today's situation, I will let Lao Han bring you a small red clay stove, put some dry firewood and charcoal, and it is also convenient for you to cook something on the fire in the future, by the way, this place to take a hot bath ......"
Being nagged by her like this, the tears of satisfaction are about to come down again, those fears and indifference here, and when she was tortured by Aunt Gao, she didn't cry, and now that someone is planning for herself like this, she is at a loss.
Just do it, a big wooden basin moved into a satisfactory room, ouch yo also brought in some clothes, "This is what I brought from Aunt Gao, she gave the five girls' things to her daughter to wear, hum!" Fifth girl, when you take a bath, you can just eat fragrant porridge! ”
After saying this, I had to help Satisfaction pick up his clothes, Satisfaction quickly dodged, waved his hand again and again and said no, and then let everyone go out, Ouch Yo Yo was still talking at the door, "Fifth girl, don't be afraid, I'll guard it for you......"
Satisfied with the clothes on her body slowly took off, stretched out her feet into the hot tub, the warm touch made her a little uncomfortable, slowly, sat in, hugged her legs, and cried happily.
After taking a bath and drinking hot porridge, the rest of the things were moved into the satisfactory room, and the small red clay stove was also brought over, which made the originally empty room a little cramped.
After repeated explanations, Qiu Niang and the others dispersed uneasily.
If it weren't for the fact that these things were still here, she felt that it was not very real, she touched it like this, touched it like that, and finally smiled and hugged Jump, "Jump, let's live a good life!" ”
Jumping seemed to feel her mood, jumping around and scratching on the bed.
After a full hiccup, he looked at the dark sky outside the house with satisfaction, "It must be so comfortable to lie on such a soft bed, but we can't sleep yet." ”
The words that Aunt Gao said are still in her ears, since she has already started, how could she miss such an opportunity to inquire about the whole story today.
So he took a deep breath of satisfaction, listened intently for a while, and then rolled out of the window again, as usual.
