Chapter 27

"Okay, are you ready to crush it?"

"Save half."

"I'll go find you tonight and I'll teach you to splash water on corn kernels."

"Sister, are you going into the mountain today?"

Wang Ailing shook her head, "I won't go anymore, I'll help my mother remove and wash the cotton clothes at home today."

Jiang Xinyu got home and took the guy style and went up the mountain by herself. The main thing was to hug the leaves. She found yesterday that when the fire was about to burn out at night, the leaves in the stove were hotter than the kang two days ago.

Because I wanted to smuggle, I went to the small valley. When I left at night, the leaves on the ground were clean.

After arriving at home, the leaves are released so that you have time to clean up yourself.

The water boiled, and Wang Ailing also arrived. Jiang Xinyu saw her pour half a bag of corn kernels into a large wooden basin, then scoop out two scoops of boiling water, poured it into the basin, then mix it well, and cover the pot.

"When we go to the middle of the night, we just put it in the bag. But when we get the cornmeal back, we have to dry it.

I'm leaving, I'll push the cart tonight."

It was only midnight when Wang Ailing came over and knocked on the door. The two of them worked on the stone mill at the east end of the village.

This mill is also a laborious job. The two of them changed it and it took an hour to finally crush the cornmeal half a bag of corn kernels in one hour.

When I arrived at Jiang's house, "I've pushed the cart back. I'll come here tomorrow morning with a large dustpan to help push the corn skin out." Wang Ailing explained and pushed the cart back.

Jiang Xinyu spread a piece of plastic on the kang table and poured out cornmeal. It was a bit wet, so don’t cover it up. It’s really not easy to make this little cornmeal like a thief.

I drank a bag of milk and ate two boiled eggs before I lay down to sleep.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Ailing came over with a large dustpan. Looking at the girl's dustpan, Jiang Xinyu also tried it, but it didn't work at all.

"You have not mastered your strength well, and the extent is not enough. Forget it, I'll do it, watch you work hard."

"Sister, you can't do this. You think you do everything yourself and you don't like it when you work, so you will be much tired in the future." Jiang Xinyu was instructing this girl to be so strong.

"I know this truth. If it were someone else, I would take care of her."

"Thank you, sister, where did you buy this big dustpan? Why don't I have it at home?"

"This big winnowing basket costs fifteen yuan, but precious items are sold at the big market, but not every time."

"I'll meet you next time at the market, so I'll definitely buy one."

After the corn flour was shaken, Wang Ailing spread the plastic cloth directly on the kang, so that it spread flat and dry quickly.

"Xinyu, there are many people around Shimu today, all of whom have corn, so you have to be more careful."

"Well, this is news, right?"

"Don't take it seriously, what if you know you have food to borrow from you?"

"If someone comes to borrow, do I have to lend it?" Jiang Xinyu said indifferently.

"What you said is easy. Everyone in the village comes to borrow, but you don't. No one will pay attention to you in the village from now on. If you lend it to him or not, it's a contradiction."

"I understand, this is interpersonal relationship, I must pay attention to it.

This thing has to be secretly stolen."

Wang Ailing was too lazy to pay attention to her. Sometimes she felt that Xinyu was really too smart, but just like when she was just now, she thought she was a fool. She couldn't even think of such an obvious thing.

The two of them drank malted milk semen and went to collect firewood.

This rural child is full of life, and no adults need to explain it.

Today, I didn’t hold the leaves, but came back with a bundle of branches on my back. Of course, Wang Ailing’s bundle of two bundles of Jiang Xinyu.

This week was being prepared for a week.

There are not many people in the village who are idle outside now. They all go up the mountain to find food. Why can't these living people be suffocated to death by peeing? What rural people don't feel the least distressed is their strength. As long as they can stutter, they are willing to do so even if they are tired.

The two of them went up the mountain every day, but they did not follow the crowd to go deeper into the mountains. It was not that they didn’t envy the things that the villagers got back, but they shouldn’t be too greedy. They already had food, so they shouldn’t snatch them anymore.

Now there are half of the branches in Jiang Xinyu's yard, so there is no problem burning for a winter. Now my physical strength is much better than when I came here.

I feel like I have grown fat. I won’t feel dizzy after squatting down.

"Xinyu, you have changed a lot."

"Changed? Where has it changed?"

"You have flesh on your face and look a lot more energetic. I think you are getting taller."

Jiang Xinyu touched her face, "Sister, will I be too slap? Everyone is hungry, but I am fat?"

Wang Ailing nodded.

"No. I have to go out and buy some food from outside, so there will be a remark."

"You go buy food. Although it's just like that, you're afraid that you'll come to borrow it with shamelessness, and then it won't be easy for you to do it."

"Mythical kidnapping?"

"What?"

"If someone comes to borrow it, I will offend people if I don't respond, and everyone thinks I have no sympathy."

"Well, that's what it means."

"Then I have to go out, and I have eaten up all the food I have long since. If I don't have food to eat, I can still gain weight. Isn't this an obvious way to tell others that I have food?

Besides, I can’t stop eating just because of other people’s opinions, right?

Sister, please go with me? Do you want to go to the city to have a look?"

"I have to go back and ask my mom, you can wait for my news tomorrow." Wang Ailing is also a fifteen-year-old girl. Although she is sensible, she also has the intention to play.

After hearing what his daughter said, Sun Ermei nodded in agreement, "You both have to be careful, but you should go and drive the certificate first, otherwise you can't get on the bus."

She hurried over to find Jiang Xinyu, but saw her belly lying on the kang without any blood on her face.

"Xinyu, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, I might be coming to that. Do you help me with a month?"

"You haven't?"

"I haven't been here yet." Jiang Xinyu said weakly.

"Okay, I'll make it for you now, but I'll just go and boil water for you first and drink more hot water later."

Jiang Xinyu now has no energy to care about anything else. Her stomach hurts and sweats on her forehead.

After the water boiled, Wang Ailing made a bowl of milk powder for Jiang Xinyu. "Drink it while it's hot."

Jiang Xinyu struggled to sit up, holding the bowl in both hands, drinking in small sips, and watching Wang Ailing sitting on the kang with her legs doing menstruation for herself.

In fact, she has sanitary napkins in her space, but she has to have this for cover. This is something from this era.

"Sister, I don't have much toilet paper."
