Chapter 19 Going Home (2)
Du's worried look was noticed by Caiwei. She played with the ends of her hair hanging on her chest and sneered: "Mom, they are just clowns. You don't have to be afraid. My daughter has her own way to defeat them." Thoughts. "
While talking, the car had stopped. Caiwei lifted the car curtain and saw the short and dilapidated courtyard of her home, the sparse fence walls, and the tall and straight poplar tree in front of the door.
Under the tree, three thin figures were looking anxiously.
Seeing the people in the car, three small figures ran over happily.
"mother----"
"Elder sister----"
The sweet cry was like a warm wind blowing into the ears, making people feel happy for no reason. Caiwei curled her eyes and opened her arms with a smile.
"Don't run, be careful of the eggs!" Sitting in front of Caiwei, Du Shi called out nervously.
The three little ones stopped and looked at Du Shi in surprise with clear eyes.
"Eggs? Mom bought eggs?"
Wu'er, the youngest, heard the word "egg" and took a sip of saliva. He seemed to see a bowl of hot, yellow and tender chicken cake, with a few oil stars floating on it...
Originally, we raised a few chickens at home, and my mother would occasionally steam a bowl of chicken cakes for them as a toothpaste, but that was more than half a year ago. In order to raise money for Dad's business, all the chickens at home were sold. After all, they had not eaten eggs for more than half a year.
"Not only did I buy eggs, my mother also bought you meat buns and pancakes. Your sister also bought a lot of fat pork, which is all stored in the car. Go and move it quickly..." Du Shi urged with a smile.
When several children heard their mother's words, they cheered and ran to the carriage, scrambling to reach out their hands: "Sister, did you really buy so many things?"
"Sister, I'll move, I'll..."
"Okay, don't squeeze!" Caiwei carried the bag containing rice.
"Wen'er, you and your second sister will carry this bag of rice."
"Wu'er, take the meat buns and cooking cakes into the house..."
The children cheered and jumped, even happier than during the Chinese New Year. The eldest sister and mother brought them a whole bag of white rice and a basket full of eggs...
You know, usually only during the Chinese New Year, my father will buy back two kilograms of white rice, and the whole family can only eat a meal of white rice on New Year's Eve, and each person can only eat one bowl.
As for white noodles, someone has to have a birthday to eat a bowl of noodles. On weekdays, what we eat at home is cornmeal porridge mixed with brown rice crumbs. Even if it’s cornmeal porridge, you can’t fill up every meal…
Luxury goods such as meat buns and candy men are said to cost two or three pennies each. They dare not even think about it. They have only eaten it secretly in their dreams...
When Mayfair saw those pieces of brightly colored pure cotton muslin, she couldn't move her eyes away. She is ten years old and has never worn a single piece of new clothes. Her sister always wore them out and gave them to her. My sister's clothes are not very good. They are all made of earth-colored coarse cloth. Because earth-colored cloth is a natural color that has not been bleached or dyed after being woven, earth-colored fabric is the cheapest. Because it is cheap, the clothes of men, women, old and young in the family are They are all sewn from earth-colored coarse cloth.
God knows, as a girl, how much she wishes she could have a colored shirt without patches, just like this piece of goose-yellow cotton in front of her. How beautiful it would be if it were made into a small coat and worn on her body. !
Things were moved back into the house one by one, and the children sat around the kang, looking excitedly at the fresh things Caiwei had bought, and making exclamations of surprise from time to time. The dim candlelight reflected on their young faces, and those pairs of eyes full of surprise and amazement, were so shocking to the soul.
Caiwei felt that there was no more fulfilling moment in her life than this!
