"Oh oh oh~"
The sound of a rooster crowing in the distance was heard. Niu Caohua climbed up lightly and put on the patched coat.
The sleeves of the clothes are a lot too short, and they feel a little stretched when they are worn on them, but there is nothing they can do about it. This is the only coat Niu Caohua wears, and the villagers feel sorry for them, so they take the clothes they don’t want. I had to sew and mend it before I could barely put it on.
I walked into the yard in the dark and saw that my parents were already up. My father was sweeping the floor and my mother was cooking.
My father's name is Niu Dadu. He is skinny and skinny. His short body has been oppressed by life, and his back has become deeply hunched. He is clearly in his early thirties, and his hair is already partially gray.
"The flowers are blooming." Niu Dadu looked at his eldest daughter and laughed innocently, with wrinkles on his face.
"Yes." He scooped up a ladle of water and washed his face directly with his hands. He cooed again, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and that was done.
Don't ask why you don't care about cleanliness so much. If you ask, it means one word: poor.
So poor!
In this unknown dynasty, wars broke out all over the place, and the people were in dire straits. Except for the Satoshi family, no one in the village had enough to eat.
Of course, Niu Caohua's family is also the poorest in the entire Xiaocao Village.
Wiping the water from her eyes with her sleeves, Niu Caohua turned around and entered the house, where her mother Xiao Cuier was cooking breakfast.
In the clay pot, there are rice grains so thin that you can count them clearly, plus some picked wild vegetables, which are boiling hot.
This is their food for the whole morning.
Through the white mist rising from the pottery pot, Xiao Cui'er's face could be seen clearly. There were large blue and purple marks on her forehead where her eyes were connected, making her originally beautiful face look very ugly.
I heard that this was not a birthmark, but that my mother had a high fever when she was a teenager. She had a fever for many days. Just when the doctor said there was no way to save her, the high fever suddenly subsided, and then this mark appeared on her face.
Seeing her daughter staring at her face, Xiao Cuier hurriedly lowered her head, took out a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped the marks on her head, then raised her head and smiled at her daughter.
"Caohua, don't be afraid." She stretched out her hand and gently patted Caohua on the back like she did when she was a child.
Looking at her mother, whose eyes were as clear as a child's, Niu Caohua smiled bitterly inwardly, but she still showed her first smile today.
This mother was disfigured when she was a child, abandoned by her relatives, and suffered countless hardships. Later, her brain was broken, so she was picked up by her father, and they lived together like this.
Also gave birth to a son and a daughter.
The eldest daughter is her, Niu Caohua, who is eight years old this year.
The youngest son, Niu Xiaodi, is five years old this year.
When Niu Caohua traveled through time, the original owner of this body was already dead and poisoned.
She was so hungry that she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms to eat. She ate poisonous mushrooms and her life was lost.
When she first traveled through time, Niu Caohua was unwilling to accept this fact. She looked at this house with four bare walls, at the light-transmitting roof above her head, at her little brother who was dragging his nose with snot and sucked it back, looking at him like a child. My mother, who was also sitting on the ground and crying, looked at my father, who was squatting in the corner with his head in his hands and sobbing, and wanted to die again.
Others started with princesses and princesses, so why did I have a hellish start when I traveled through time?
But after one night, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky and listening to the chirping of insects and birds, she suddenly didn’t want to die anymore. She finally had a chance to do it all over again. It was better to live than to die, and she felt energetic the next day. Got up and had a meal.
It is now the second month of time travel.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Niu Xiaodi came out of the room, rubbing his eyes. He kept his eyes closed all the way until he sat at the feet of his sister Niu Caohua, and then he opened his eyes in a daze.
Seeing Niu Caohua hanging under her nose, trying to get rid of the snot, Niu Caohua's brows furrowed tightly, and her eyes emitted a death ray.
Stare~
Being stared at by her sister like this, even a fool would know why, not to mention that Niu Xiaodi was not stupid in the first place.
He thought of what his sister said and the vague pain in his buttocks. His little body trembled, so he had to get up, pick a leaf, and stand in the yard and blow his nose hard.
After blowing his nose, he was about to dry it with his sleeves when he suddenly felt something cold on his back. When he turned around, he saw that his sister was still staring at him.
After puckering his lips, he had no choice but to scoop out a ladle of water and wash his entire face carefully, leaving water droplets hanging on his face.
"I'll take you to the mountains to pick up some fruits later." Niu Caohua knew the principle of giving a sweet date with a stick, so she pinched her brother's face until it was all skin and bones.
They were a family of four, all the same. There was no flesh on their bodies, their ribs were protruding one by one, and their eyes were so big that they looked like skeletons.
When Niu Xiaodi heard her sister say that she would take him to pick fruits to eat later, Niu Xiaodi immediately forgot about what had just happened, and felt that his sister was the best. He sat happily at her sister's feet, with his head next to her body, rubbing against her. , like a clingy puppy.
"Sister, okay." All the water on her face rubbed onto Niu Caohua's clothes.
For breakfast, I just drank a lot of water, a few wild vegetable leaves and a few grains of brown rice. The water in my stomach was still swaying when I walked, and it disappeared after a while when I peeed.
"Dad, I'm taking my brother out." Niu Caohua carried a basket on her back and held her brother's hand, planning to go to the foot of the mountain to see if she could be lucky enough to pick up some mushrooms and yams.
"Don't go into the mountains." Niu Dadu warned.
"Know it."
She wouldn't go into the mountains. There were mountains on all sides, and there were countless beasts hidden there. You could often hear wolves howling at night. Even experienced hunters only dare to wander around the outside of the mountains and never dare to go deep into the mountains.
There was already a little light in the sky outside, and a few stars hung in the sky, twinkling dimly.
"There are stars in the sky." Niu Caohua taught her brother how to speak while using a stick to push away the weeds on the roadside.
Yes, Niu Xiaodi, who is already five years old, is not very good at talking. He is worse than the two-year-old child in his previous life.
The original Niu Caohua had the kind of character that couldn't be beaten with three sticks. Apart from eating, she spent the rest of the time looking for food outside.
The mother at home has a bad mind and can only watch the baby closely to prevent him from falling or running around. She can't do anything else.
As for dad, he is in charge of the acre of land at home. He wants to spend all day pulling weeds in the field and doesn't care about the family at all.
After all, that acre of land is the only source of income for the family of four.
There are many children in the village, but none of them want to associate with the Niu family's children. When they see them from a distance, they run away, as if to avoid some plague.
Because my parents told me not to play with fools, or they will be infected.
"Stars." Niu Xiaodi held her sister's hand, walked and jumped, and followed her sister's example seriously.
"Twinkle, twinkle, twinkling." The female voice was crisp.
"Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle~" the child's voice was childlike.
In the mountains in the early morning, there is unexpected harmony.
