Despite all the unpleasant things that happened, the New Year of 1967 passed happily, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of spring, because spring is full of hope, and it can also allow people who have experienced a whole winter famine to eat tender and delicious wild vegetables and fill their stomachs!

It's just that the spring girl in the north is not as diligent as the south, and the south can see the starry green in the first month and is unwilling to drill out lonely, but this side is still white, and the snow under the Chinese New Year's Eve has not yet melted!

Ma Xinghua said that at least we have to wait until March to have wild vegetables picked, when the mountains are full of fresh and tender wild vegetables, picked back steamed, fried, cold dressed, dumplings, made vegetable cakes, how to make delicious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The most important thing is to save a lot of food!"

Shen Jiao felt that what Ma Xinghua wanted to emphasize should be this last sentence, after experiencing a harsh winter, every household has no surplus food, and there are already many people who only eat two meals a day, which is still thin, and after eating, they lie on the kang, and they don't want to go more than one step, for fear of tossing the few little grains in their stomachs.

Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of spring, not looking forward to the spring of spring, only hoping that the spring girl can bring food to their stomachs.

Among the owners of the farm, there are two families who are most looking forward to spring, namely the Hu family and the Zhu family.

"I heard Siya say that the Zhu family has run out of grain, and the whole family still has a bag of sorghum left, even if they count the grains to eat, they can't survive the time to harvest the grain!" Ma Xinghua gloated.

Shen Jiao listened to it and felt quite relieved, these bad people had to starve them to death, but ......

"Isn't that sister Siya even more unfed?" Shen Jiao asked with concern.

Ma Xinghua snorted and said hatefully: "It's not, Siya said that there used to be a bowl of thin vegetable soup to drink, but now there is only soup left, and there is not even a single vegetable leaf, phew, why can't God open his eyes and take them away!" ”

Shen Jiao also scolded a few words, planning to send some food to Zhu Siya for a while, otherwise, Zhu Siya was afraid that she would really starve to death, and the Zhu family would definitely be ruthless and didn't care whether she lived or died.

"The life of the fox spirit is not easy, but it is better than the Zhu family, and the thin drink can last until the time of harvesting potatoes, and Hu Xiangyu is rich, so he can go to the backstreet to buy high-priced grain." Ma Xinghua was quite unwilling.

Shen Jiao looked at Ma Xinghua with a smile, every time this girl talked about Hu Xiangyu, she gritted her teeth like this, she changed the topic and asked, "Are all the things for your family to do happy events ready?" ”

Ma Xinghua's eyebrows suddenly danced: "Okay, my grandmother has gone back to my hometown to do it, Jiaojiao on the sixteenth day, you will go with me to eat and drink, my home is in the village in front of me, not far away." ”

Shen Jiao really wanted to go, but she was delicate, since Zhao Si disappeared, she felt the change in the attitude of the Ma family, Aunt Ma was obviously much colder, although Xinghuaniang's face was as polite as before, but she couldn't detect the alienation in her eyes, and only Ma Xinghua, a silly girl, was still the same as before!

"Of course it's good to eat and drink, but this matter has to be decided by adults, and Sister Xinghua should go back and talk to the eldest mother." Shen Jiao said euphemistically.

The smile on Ma Xinghua's face immediately retracted, since Jiaojiao's fourth uncle had an accident, her grandmother and mother didn't let her associate with Jiaojiao, saying that it would affect the third brother, she couldn't figure it out, what a good person Jiaojiao is, why do you become a bad person?

No need to ask her, she knows that the family will definitely not agree to Jiaojiao to eat and drink, alas, she forgot about it for a while just now, how should she say it to Jiaojiao?

How hurtful!

Shen Jiao knew what the attitude of the Ma family was when she looked at the hesitation on Ma Xinghua's face, although she was mentally prepared, but in the end it was still astringent, she was now a plague, and everyone avoided it.

"Sister Xinghua, don't ask, I'm afraid I can't go to eat and drink, I just remembered that the rules in my hometown are that you can't go out on the sixteenth day of the first month, you have to stay at home for a day, you see, I almost forgot." Shen Jiao pretended to be annoyed and wanted to resolve her friend's embarrassment.

Ma Xinghua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the embarrassment on her face dissipated, and said: "Then I'll come back and bring you something delicious, the master of the big stove in our village has good craftsmanship, and the fried meatballs are fragrant and crispy, but delicious!" ”

"Okay!" Shen Jiao smiled.

Ma Xinghua went back soon, she still took advantage of the time to get firewood in the firewood room and ran out, and her mother would find out after a long time, but when she entered the house, she saw her mother standing at the door with a black face.

"Are you going to find the Shen girl again?" Xinghuaniang asked in a deep voice.

Ma Xinghua didn't want to lie, so she simply lowered her head and said nothing, a picture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, seeing that Xinghua was not angry, she picked up the broom hanging on the wall and wiped it over.

"You are an uncompetitive goods, why do you take my words as a deaf ear? Do you want to kill your third brother before you are willing, ah? ”

Xinghua Niang seems to be really hot, she rarely beats children, she is not light at all, Ma Xinghua's head and body have been wiped several times, it hurts hotly, and her heart hurts even more.

"Why did I hurt the third brother? What's the squeamish? Did she kill or set fire? Her grandfather also saved your life, if it weren't for Mr. Shen's pills, Mom, would you still have the strength to beat me? Ma Xinghua stalked his neck and pushed it back.

Xinghuaniang was embarrassed, she didn't dare to look directly at her daughter's bright eyes, and her hands twitched even more, as if she wanted to hide her weakness.

Ma Xinghua also became angry, crying: "Mom, you always say that you must not be ungrateful and have a conscience, now why do you do things without conscience?" What the hell is wrong with you? ”

Xinghuaniang's face changed greatly, and when she saw the redness and swelling on her daughter's body, she was so distressed that she threw the broom in a hurry, why did she make such a heavy hand?

Hearing her daughter's accusations again, Xinghua Niang was even more sad, her already incomplete body was shaking, and Ma Xinghua was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged her and cried: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, you beat me out! ”

Xinghuaniang sighed, gently stroked the wound on her daughter's face, and said in a mournful voice: "Sannier, when my mother wants to be ungrateful, my mother is afraid of affecting your third brother, your third brother is the pillar of our family, and if our family wants to get ahead, we can all point to your third brother!" ”

"The grandchildren of the Shen family are all good people, but their family background is too innocent, our family can't mix with them, Sannier, mom beg, don't go to the Shen family again, ah!"

Ma Xinghua sobbed and cried, but she refused to let go and promise her mother, so angry that Xinghuaniang's chest hurt so much that her face became whiter, Ma Hongqi, who was watching the battle, hurriedly walked over and twisted Ma Xinghua's body, and said to Xinghuaniang: "Mom, don't worry, the third sister will definitely not go to Shen's house in the future, I will watch her for you!" ”

Xinghua Niang felt comfortable at this time, and let Ma Xinghua carry her to lie on the kang.

Ma Xinghua dragged her brother to the yard, wanting to scold him for having no conscience, Ma Hongqi grinned and said, "Flexible change of notice? Mom won't let us play with Jiaojiao, let's play secretly, don't let Mom find out, why do you have to do it against Mom, don't talk about being beaten, and make Mom angry enough! ”

Ma Xinghua was happy and gave her brother a thumbs up.
