The night is getting darker, and there are almost no lights in Yushu Village.

On a snowy winter day, with the biting cold wind, everyone in the village was already in bed, not to mention that burning kerosene lamps wastes kerosene, and no one is willing to waste it like this.

Yun Xiaotang was lying on the bed, huddled in her sister's warm arms. To be honest, Zhao Xueer's whole body was full of bones and a bit shaky because she had not had enough to eat for a long time, but she didn't care. On the contrary, she felt that it was very warm.

On her other side was her brother Zhao Tian'er, who was sleeping soundly.

Because the weather was too cold, my sister Zhao Xueer was worried about Zhao Tianer sleeping alone in another room, so she let her sleep in the middle, while her sister and brother slept on both sides.

Anyway, they are still young.

After thinking about it, Yun Xiaotang fell asleep.

…

At dawn, a ray of winter sunshine shines into the house through the window.

Suddenly there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door, waking up the sleeping person.

Zhao Xueer woke up from her dream, let go of the hand holding her sister, got out of bed, put on her clothes and went to open the door.

At this time, the snow had stopped, and the snow in the yard was a few centimeters thicker. Zhao Xueer walked by, leaving a series of footprints.

When I opened the door, it was Captain Li from the production team knocking on the door, holding a brochure in his hand.

"Girl Zhao, are your brothers and sisters okay?" Captain Li asked as soon as he saw Zhao Xueer.

This famine combined with the severe blizzard weather makes it easier for people to get sick or even die. But he heard that in other production teams, in Tonghua Village across the river, many children died in infancy, and the elderly and orphans froze to death. It was so pitiful.

.

No, as soon as it dawned, he saw that the snow had stopped, so he immediately went out to count people from house to house, hoping that everyone would be well and get through this winter.

As soon as Zhao Xueer heard this, she understood what Captain Li meant, "Captain Li, my brothers and sisters are fine. They are still sleeping now."

Upon hearing this, Captain Li took a pen and ticked the name of Zhao Xueer's family on the booklet. He nodded, told her to watch her younger brothers and sisters and stop running around, then turned around and left, going to the next family.

Watching Captain Li leave, Zhao Xueer gathered her clothes, shuddered, quickly closed the courtyard door and returned to the house.

In the previous life, Captain Li was a decent and upright captain. When something happened to her parents, someone from her grandmother’s family wanted to take away the house they were living in. It was thanks to Captain Li that he upheld justice and allowed her grandmother to live in peace.

, uncle and the others left in disgrace.

Otherwise, not only might she be homeless in her previous life, but she might also be sold by her uncle and the others for food.

Yun Xiaotang, who was in the room, had woken up the moment Zhao Xueer got up. She leaned up and listened to the movement outside with her ears raised. There was no wind outside at this moment, and the sound of conversations could be heard clearly.

She felt something was wrong. I'm afraid she hadn't traveled to a poor mountainous area, but to the past. She just didn't know what year it was now?

Famine... years...

So it’s about sixty years now, right?

Thousands of thoughts kept surging in Yun Xiaotang's heart. Before she could think about it, Zhao Xueer returned to the house and she immediately lay down obediently.

Zhao Xueer, who returned to the house, met her sister's big, watery eyes like grapes as soon as she entered the door. As soon as she looked over, her sister smiled so cutely that she felt her heart melting.

In her previous life, if her and Tong Rongguang's child had not been aborted, that child would have been five or six years old when she was reborn.

They are about the same age as my current brothers and sisters...

"Chun'er is awake. It's still early now. If you sleep a little longer, my sister will cook noodles for you and Tian'er to eat."

While speaking softly, he gently patted Yun Xiaotang's back with his hand.

Yun Xiaotang looked at the girl in front of her, who was obviously still a child, and felt slightly sad. She only hoped that she would get well soon and be able to help her family.

Especially when she guessed that it might be the 1960s when supplies were extremely scarce, she understood even more how difficult it was for her sister and the family.

Fortunately, although she traveled through time and became a child, her soul is that of an adult from the 21st century. She can always do something for this family.

After thinking about it, she fell asleep again amid Zhao Xueer's gentle coaxing.

Seeing that her sister was asleep, Zhao Xueer covered her and her brother with quilts, got dressed, and walked out of the room softly.

Then she entered the room on the other side of the hall, moved the bed board, and took out a small bag of semolina, which was the half bag of flour that her parents had hidden when they were there.

Think about it, half a year ago, both parents were still alive. Now, only their three children are left.

Not having much time to sigh, Zhao Xueer hid the small bag of flour in her arms, covered the bed and went to the kitchen.

Taking out a large bowl, Zhao Xueer scooped a spoonful of flour into it, added some water, and kneaded the flour into dough balls with her hands. Then she lit the firewood, added two ladles of water to the pot, and prepared to cook the dough soup after the water boiled.

have eaten.

While waiting for the water to boil, she took the remaining flour back to the previous room and hid it before she breathed a sigh of relief.

In these days, even semolina is extremely expensive, and a bowl of gnocchi soup is rare.

I don’t know how many families don’t even have anything to eat.

Even if she knew that her family lived at the end of the village in the west and there were no neighbors nearby, she was still afraid of being discovered and remembered.

The water in the pot was bubbling. When she saw the water boiling, she immediately poured the dough into the boiling water. The transparent water immediately turned milky white.

A pot of gnocchi soup is ready.

She packed it in a big basin and carried it back to the room.

In the room, Zhao Tian'er had woken up and got out of bed. Yun Xiaotang was still lying on the bed, but she was completely awake.

"Sister, I'm going to get the bowl and kuaizi."

Seeing his sister bringing in a basin of noodle soup, Zhao Tianer happily went to the kitchen to get a bowl and Kuaizi.

When he came back and put down the bowl, Yun Xiaotang had already put on her clothes and sat up. She originally wanted to get out of bed, but Zhao Xueer refused, saying that she was still sick and was lying on the bed to keep warm.

"Sister, I can eat from the bowl by myself. You don't need to feed me, so you can eat quickly." Seeing that Zhao Xueer wanted to feed her pimple soup first, Yun Xiaotang said quickly.

In fact, she is much better now, and her fever has gone away, but she doesn't have much strength. But she can always carry a bowl. She really can't bear to let a little girl take care of herself like this.

Seeing that her sister was so sensible, Zhao Xueer did not insist and carefully handed the bowl to her sister.

The three of them were holding steaming bowls of pimple soup and sipping the noodle soup in small sips. Their bodies felt a lot warmer.

Yun Xiaotang felt that she and her body were no longer so weak.

After finishing the noodle soup, Zhao Xueer put away the bowl and went back to the kitchen to wash it clean.

Because of the cold weather, the well water in the village was frozen. There were only two buckets of water in the kitchen for drinking water. For the rest, whether washing pots or heating hot water, she used snow from the yard.

This snow is also a natural water resource.

After clearing away the bowl, she asked Tian'er not to run around and stay at home with her sister.
