"You two take off your clothes, mother will mend them." Erniang said distressedly.

Lu Gong and Lu Min obediently took off their clothes. Lu Bing saw that a piece of cloth as big as his back had been torn, and he didn't feel distressed: "Mother, this dress is too short. You can see that the cuffs are here. My hands are too cold."

The 12-year-old Lu Gong is just growing up. Although the clothes he made three years ago were made in Dali at that time, they couldn't grow faster than children, and the clothes were already short.

"Gong Lu, you need to buy cloth and add some cotton to make clothes. If my mother has no money or tickets, where can I get it for you?"

Erniang felt that she was living a very sad life. She had three children, but she only had a few dollars in savings, which was not enough to make a pair of trousers for one child.

I went to look through my dowry box again, and there was a pile of tatters inside. Fortunately, there were still a few rags, but I could only mend Lu Min's clothes. up.

Grandma Lu kept scolding in the living room, scolding Erlang Erniang, Sanlang Sanniang, and finally Shiro and Xiaomei. Except Dalang and Da Niang, almost everyone was scolded.

Da Niang and Da Lang are really good at playing tricks. Da Niang tidied up the dishes. It was her turn to cook and wash the dishes today. In order to avoid being scolded by Grandma Lu, Da Niang decisively chose to do the dishes immediately.

Da Lang brewed a pot of tea for Grandma Lu. The tea did not know that it was a bad product from that year, but Da Lang took the tea mug to brag to Grandma Lu.

"This is the tea that my mother gave me a few years ago. I am reluctant to eat it, my son. I have kept it until now. Look, how fragrant it is. If your mouth is dry, take a few sips."

Mr. Lu picked up the cigarette pipe and took a deep breath. The family seemed to be falling apart, and he wondered if he could survive until the little girl got married.

Lu Xiaomei moved her bedding and bedding to her parents' house. The nest where she slept belonged to Shiro, but Shiro seldom came home, so Grandma Lu made the decision, and usually the little sister lived in this house alone.

Shiro looked at Xiaomei Lu who was busy running around, and was also thinking about whether to separate the family from his father. If the family were separated, the dowry of the younger sister might not look so good.

After all, after the separation, he doesn't have to hand over his own money, and the third brother who is the most hardworking in the family will only take care of his own small family. As for the eldest brother and second brother, it is faster to dream if they want them to add makeup to the younger sister.

If you don't wait until your work is done, come back and let your father separate the family. At most, he will pay the dowry for the younger sister. For a girl to marry, giving two or thirty yuan is the best.

After Lu Xiaomei packed her bedding, she went into the third-bedroom house. The bread in her pocket couldn't be found by her mother, otherwise it would definitely be confiscated.

But the door of the third room was locked, and Lu Xiaomei didn't dare to knock on the door. She was sneaky in the first place, but she was caught when she knocked, so she could only turn around and go back disappointed.

Silang's eyes were sharp, he saw the little girl pushed the door of Sanlang's room, but she was not pushed open, his brows were slightly frowned, recalling that he didn't see Xiao Ming when the children were fighting just now, Xiao Ming only appeared later.

So where did Xiao Ming go during this time, did he go to find Tiantian? No, in such a short period of time, Xiao Ming had no time to find Tiantian.

Sanfang has tricks, but Shiro didn't want to explore what the tricks were. He felt very tired now, so he went to the kitchen, got some hot water, washed his hands and face, and got ready for bed.

The kerosene lamp in the living room was quickly extinguished, and Xiao Ming stuck behind the door, listening to the movement outside, until he heard the sound of closing the door four times, and turned around happily.

Saburo looked at the short piece of candle on the adobe, and was a little annoyed that he forgot to buy a candle on the black market. The supply and marketing agency needed a candle ticket to buy a candle, and a kerosene ticket to buy kerosene, so there was no oil in the kerosene lamp long ago.

"Eat, the dumplings are already soft." Sanniang took out the rice bowl from the edge of the kang cave. The dumplings became soft, but they also turned into lumps. She took a pair of chopsticks and slowly picked up a sea bowl. The dumplings are all wiped out.

There were forty dumplings, and Sanniang only took out fifteen. After everyone finished eating the dumplings in the bowl, they put in the other twenty-five.

"Eat these tomorrow morning, and go to town after eating the dumplings," Sanniang said.

Daming and the others were very happy. Today everyone eats three, and tomorrow morning they can eat five. When they come back from town, they can still have lunch in time.

"Hey, if you don't dig wild vegetables or pick up firewood tomorrow, you won't have lunch." Daming suddenly thought of this question.

"Don't be afraid, let's go to the state-run restaurant for dinner tomorrow." Lu Sanlang said in a very low voice.

Everyone

Throughout the night, except for Sanlang who was snoring in sleep, the others were pancakes on the kang, tossing and turning, always unable to fall asleep, imagining the scene of going to the state-owned restaurant in the town for dinner tomorrow.

Especially Daming, he was so excited that he wanted to tell his partner the good news. It was so good, but he also knew that if he told it, his elder brother and younger brother would not let him go, and his parents would also scold him. dare not return.

Forget it, don't think about it, sleep, Daming really fell asleep when the sky was getting dark, he felt that he had not slept for a long time, why was he woken up by his mother, could it be that the sky dawned so soon.

There was a familiar smell in his nose, all the drowsiness disappeared, and he crawled up. Sure enough, there was a large bowl of warm dumplings on the adobe.

Daming kept in mind the agreement that each person could eat five dumplings. When he saw a pair of chopsticks on the bowl, he couldn't wait to crawl over, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The dumplings were a little sticky. Daming carefully separated the dumplings. Even if the skin was broken, he swallowed it in one gulp. Five dumplings were eaten in a blink of an eye. Looking at the remaining dumplings in the bowl, Daming struggled to look away.

I have been fighting in my heart. If I don’t want to eat one more, but I can eat one more, my parents and brothers and younger brothers will have to eat one less. I can’t eat it. I can’t be so selfish.

Xiao Ming cleaned himself up a long time ago, and he wanted to buy an eraser today, because he cut half of his eraser for Nizi, and his own eraser was running out.

And if possible, I hope my father can help me buy two more notebooks and pencils. I have to write one page of homework every day, and the notebook is no longer enough.

Seeing that Daming devoured the dumplings, his stomach started to growl. He didn't care to go out to wash his face, so he picked up chopsticks and ate, but his movements were more gentle than Daming's.

Sanniang just wanted to laugh when she saw it. The children she gave birth to were all so good. Of course, Tiantian was the best, but it was a pity that she couldn't protect herself.

Lu Qing and San Lang got up early in the morning to carry water, and today it was their turn to carry water for Sanfang, so in order to prevent Grandma Lu from getting angry and finding fault, the two of them went out to carry water early in the morning with buckets.
