Chapter 9

32,

Inside the house.

Night.

Mother was slitting clothes through the dim light, and father sat aside.

Sanpang lay quietly on the kang, closing his eyes and listening to them talking.

The mother sighed softly: "Oh! Her dad, I tell you, don't treat your children like this again in the future, ah!"

Father: "Hmph! Can you blame me for getting angry at her? Ah! She ran out for a day before she came back. I...a little thing I said to her is wrong?"

Mother: "You! The child ran out not to play, but to pick up firewood."

Father: "Then she ran away."

Mother: "Isn't she back?"

Father: "She almost lost it."

Mother: "Well, but you have to think about why the child did this? Ah! She followed the car to the town to pick up the food. In fact, the child is also doing things for our two adults for our family. Look, among the four children we raise, Sanpang is the most sensible child."

Father: "Then she can't let her run outside again."

The mother nodded and responded: "Yes."

Father: "It's getting late, so don't be busy, it's time to go to bed."

"Yeah." The mother responded again and suddenly asked, "Hey, have you paid money from the boss today?"

The father shook his head: "No."

The mother was stunned: "What? Didn't he agree?"

The father replied dullly: "Yes."

Mother: "Why?"

Father: "He said that we would calculate together by the end of the year. We can't do special things alone. If I do this in advance, then others will do the same, and things will be difficult."

The mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh! I didn't pay the money and there was no rice and noodles at home. What should I do if the child's meal?"

My father didn't say anything.

Mother: "I'll borrow it from others, but who will have excess food at this time?"

Father: "Then let Yadan and the others go to the field to dig some wild vegetables."

Mother: "How can this work?"

Father: "Why can't it work?"

Mother: "It's okay to eat wild vegetables at one or two meals. If the children were asked to eat wild vegetables every day, how could they bear it? Besides, if they all go to dig wild vegetables in the field, what if there is still something?"

Father: "What should I do?"

Mother: "What should I do? Find a way! You can't starve the children to death!"

The father remained silent.

"Ouch!" the mother suddenly shouted.

My father was shocked, sat up, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Mother: "This child is so unhonest. He kicked me hard in his stomach."

Father: "He...is he hungry too?"

Mother: "Yes! Our family has no food for several days."

Father: "Oh! I have to find a way for the children in your belly!"

33,

In the yard.

Night.

It's late at night and people are quiet.
