Author: Yueting A Cup of Wine

The father brought the breakfast that he and his mother had today from Yanzhen Pavilion, which was two spirit beast eggs, two spirit fruits and meat porridge with meat. After heating it in the kitchen and sending the milk can with the breakfast, Lu Yan

Yan suddenly noticed that the working movements of his younger brothers and sisters seemed to have slowed down.

Speaking of which, in Lu Yanyan's memory, there was no designated person to do the work in the yard, because he was not sure whether the designated child would be alive the next day. Every day's work must be assigned to each person under the supervision and assignment of the boss.

Boy, and now it's about his command.

Lu Yanyan moved a stool and sat in the backyard like the boss in his memory. His eyes passed over the houses and he carefully recalled the daily life of the Yi family.

The Yi family is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is the house for the father, mother and eldest son. The main room for eating is also in the front yard. The other children live in the back yard.

There are eight rooms in the backyard. On the right side are the sorting room, kitchen, warehouse and latrine. On the left side are the first-year room, second-year room, woodshed and cattle and sheep shed. There is a row of ceilings on the wall facing the courtyard gate.

There is hay underneath.

Children before the age of two live in one-year or two-year houses. After the age of three, they move out and sleep directly in the yard. Children who are strong enough to survive will sleep in haystacks or grab some.

He slept with hay spread on the ground.

Children after the age of three have to start working and wake up before dawn. At this time, the father, mother and eldest child have not yet gotten up. The children need to keep quiet and draw enough well water to start preparing for the day.

The three of them got up and got ready.

The first thing to do is to wash the courtyard walls and floors. It is said that the adults of Yanzhenting use a certain elixir on the fields outside the valley wall at night. The elixir easily condenses on the courtyard walls and ground with the mist.

The accumulation of elixirs can easily induce human diseases, so they need to be washed away before the mother and father come into contact with each other.

After washing, some people started to heat the wood stove and prepare hot water, while others took out the grass and leaves cut yesterday from the warehouse to feed the cattle and sheep and milk them.

After finishing these days, it was almost dawn, and the three of them got up. After the children brought hot water to wash them, the father went to Yanzhen Pavilion to get breakfast to share with the mother. Unless they wanted to eat meat, their meals for the day were provided by

Yan Zhenting is responsible. At this time, it is necessary to change the mother's room, first-year room, and second-year room with clean hay to avoid the breeding of diseases, and wash the mother's, father's and eldest's toilets.

After finishing these tasks, under the supervision of the eldest child, the children took out the ingredients they would eat today from the warehouse - mostly the stems, leaves, roots and roots of some strange herbs plus a small amount of rice grains - mashed them together and mixed them thoroughly.

After it becomes a paste, take out half of it and add water to cook it into a rice paste. After it becomes warm, put it in a bucket and send it to the first and second year rooms. Pour the rice paste into the pipe trough and let the babies in the room eat it.

.

The other part is mixed with a small amount of water and fresh grass, spread out in a large pot in the kitchen and fried into pancakes, scooped out and cut into square pieces the size of a six-year-old child's hand, and then put back into the jar. One piece is enough for a child.

Lunch.

Next, prepare the boss's lunch, boil half a can of white rice, stir-fry a plate of root vegetables and leaves, and if there is meat, the boss will cut some of it for himself.

Before lunch, the eldest son would pick out a few children who he felt were the most idle in the morning and beat them up, punishing them by depriving them of meals. After the eldest son finished eating, the eldest son would mix the leftover rice with vegetable soup, add water from the water tank, and divide it into portions.

One bowl of soup for each person. At this time, the children finished a small piece of pancake with the soup and immediately went back to their afternoon work.

The afternoon work includes chopping firewood, collecting fresh grass at the foot of the valley wall, drying hay and washing and drying clothes. The father and the eldest brother usually have some fun at this time, so sometimes they have to mop the floor three or five times a day. Wait until the evening when the eldest son Yi starts to work again.

After the meal, the remaining vegetable soup is the children's dinner.

The children still have to work at night. They have to clean the pipes in the first-year and second-year houses, check the conditions of the babies, pick out the children who have died of starvation or freezing, wash the tableware used for the day, and provide food for the mother, father and children.

There was a fire in the eldest son's house. Before the three of them fell asleep, the children supervised each other and were not allowed to sleep, so as not to be unable to respond to the needs of the three in time. They would not fall asleep until about midnight.

It seems like this is just a day in life, but in fact, besides these things, there are many reporting incidents.

Because the amount of physical energy consumed in a day's work is not proportional to the amount of food, in order to get more food to survive, children will choose two ways to get food: either report someone, or kill someone.

If you report someone, no matter how big or small the matter is, your father will give you a big bowl of rice and a large piece of meat as a reward. And those who are killed by your father or the boss will eventually become oily fish in vegetable soup, and you will eat more or less.

In the stomach, it can replenish strength for several days.

Although it is possible to kill someone in a greasy manner, the act cannot be seen by others and reported. The father strictly prohibits children except the father and the eldest child from killing, and anyone with human life on their hands other than the two of them will not be reported.

It’s a dead word. Therefore, most people stare at each other’s mistakes and wait to report them.

In addition to getting food rewards for reporting, you can also have different options, such as getting a new suit of clothes to protect you from the cold, or getting a medicine that can only be used by the mother to cure diseases.

If you don't report it, none of these things will fall into the hands of children. The only consequences for keeping clean and not reporting it are starving to death, freezing to death, dying of illness, being beaten to death, or being killed and eaten for no reason.

If you want to live here until you are ten years old and board the spirit boat, you must learn to sacrifice enough lives under your feet.

Supervising each other and paying attention to everything around them means a decrease in work efficiency. In order to retain more physical strength, many children learn how to be lazy while appearing to work hard. In order to run the entire yard and not let their fathers doubt their abilities, the boss's

Their duty is to beat and scold them to improve efficiency, and sometimes kill those who are reported to show deterrence.

Lu Yanyan stared at the movement in the yard. Now everyone was sitting on the ground and pounding ingredients with stone pestles in their hands. Part of the mashed rice and vegetable paste had been sent to the kitchen for cooking, and the smell was not fragrant but smelled good.

The taste can still arouse appetite.

Several children came out of the kitchen carrying buckets filled with rice cereal and ladles in their hands. They glanced at Lu Yanyan first, then immediately changed from a slow pace to a quick pace and entered the first year's room.

Lu Yanyan, who was sitting astride the supervisor as if he was upright, was actually in a tangle of confusion.

If Lu Yanyan still had some motivation to stop his younger brothers and sisters from playing tricks on each other, but if he wanted him to beat and scold them for trivial matters, he himself would not be able to overcome that hurdle in his heart.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, things in the yard are not that big of a deal. Everyone has been doing it for so long and they are already familiar with it. Even if the efficiency is lower, it doesn't matter. It's better to just sit here and forget it.

Lu Yanyan thought about this and made up his mind. He looked stern while sitting on the stool, but in fact he was wandering around. He spent the morning, afternoon, and evening like this.

At night, when Lu Yanyan went back to his room to sleep, Sanmei and Hua Fu, who were responsible for checking the baby, suddenly called him in a low voice.

"Brother, there seems to be something wrong with the children in the first and second years."
