Fortunately, they brought a lot of food by themselves, as well as two jars of pickled vegetables given by Song and Xiao Huan.

After a long time, Fu Xiaojian and Xiao Wu came back, Xiao Wu carried a large bundle of branches on his back, Fu Xiaojian dragged a small handful of wild vegetable roots in his hand, and complained to Xing Youliang in his mouth,

"This place is too poor, and there is really nothing to do, and you can't dig up a single wild vegetable, and you can't see a single dry firewood, so the ground is called clean. ”

"That's why you came back with such fresh branches?"

Fu Xiaojian snorted and began to make a fire, because the firewood cut back was too wet, so the whole house was full of smoke, and the smoke spread everywhere and drifted directly to the inner room, the man saw that this was wrong, and hurriedly came to the kitchen.

"What are you doing?"

"Cooking, what do you think you're doing, burning your house?"

"You're too wet to pick up this firewood. ”

The man's misunderstanding made him a little embarrassed, and he took the initiative to help, and he saw this group of people take out a large bag of wheat in front of the stove, and said,

"You shouldn't have brought so much food out, it's dangerous. ”

Xing Youliang was a little puzzled, so he asked,

"Will anyone else come and rob it?"

"In this world, it's not surprising that anyone would do something out of the ordinary for a mouthful of food. ”

Fu Xiaojian, who has always gossiped, knew that there was a story to listen to as soon as he heard him, so he listened to it. It turned out that the family was also a poor person, the son grew up, married a daughter-in-law and moved out, leaving his parents and an old lady, the beginning of the life was barely passed, but since the disaster in the past few years, everyone's life has become sad, I don't know who it is, in the middle of the night into their house, stole all the food, making the family's life unsustainable. The son who went out independently couldn't help because his daughter-in-law was too strict, and the old lady, who was already old and frail, was getting worse and worse, and left without eating a mouthful of food. The old lady can barely get by, but not long ago, the man's daughter-in-law got a cold because the weather became cold, and she has been dragging on and has no money for treatment, and she can't even land on the ground for a few days

"I'm worried she'll be like an old lady. ”

Fu Xiaojian felt uncomfortable when he heard this, patted the man's shoulder and said,

"It's okay, there's nothing that can't be solved by a full meal, there is grain, more wheat, more rice, and a small piece of bacon under the back, all take it out, I'll cook today." ”

Fu Xiaojian rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare for cooking, he broke down a small piece of fatty bacon, fried the fat into oil, cut the thin one into small particles and boiled it in the wheat, and washed the few wild vegetable roots dug up and broke them into sections, and then put two spoonfuls of old pickles made by the Song family into it and mixed it, and a simple meal was ready.

The meal is placed on the table, exuding heat and attractive aroma, bacon wheat porridge is mixed with the fragrance of wheat and the special meat aroma of bacon, which makes people salivate, the wild vegetable root mixed with pickles is just right for rice, wild vegetables not only disperse the salty taste of pickles, but also carry a freshness, a sweetness, a fresh fragrance.

The man looked at the food on the table with some excitement, these days, they had not opened the fire, and what they ate was wild vegetable roots, leaves, and even bark, green seeds. Not to mention a woman, even he can't stand it.

"Brother, come, eat, you're welcome. ”

The man swallowed his saliva, picked up the porridge bowl, and mixed the wild vegetable root with a large chopstick, but did not eat it, but turned around and went into the house, and carried the bowl to the woman.

"Come on, eat it while it's hot. ”

The woman looked at Xing Youyou standing at the door, nodded at her, said thank you, and ate the porridge that the man brought to her mouth in one bite. Xing Youyou couldn't believe the gentleness of blowing and wiping when he watched this rough-looking man feeding his woman, and felt that this scene was contradictory, but it was so harmonious, which made her a little moved.

When the man came out of the room, his bowl was still on the table, and no one moved, but he swallowed the bowl twice, and ate the pickles cleanly.

"Thank you, not only for giving me a meal, but also for making me feel as if there is hope for life again, you are the benefactors of me and my daughter-in-law. ”

After the man finished speaking, he knelt in front of the group and kept kowtowing.

Fu Xiaojian hurriedly helped him up and said,

"It's just a meal, I'm just here to borrow your kitchen, you should take it as a reward, this is also our fate, hahaha. ”

"I don't know the benefactor, what's your name?"

Fu Xiaojian scratched his head embarrassedly and said,

"Don't benefactor, benefactor's name, my name is Fu Xiaojian, these are my nephews and nieces, thank you for borrowing our kitchen, it's time to leave now." ”

"Benefactor, where are you going?"

"Go to Westriver Town. ”

"It's going to take a long time to get to Xihe Town, it's not too early, if you don't dislike it, let's stay one night and leave." ”

Xing Youyou also had this meaning, so he said,

"Uncle, let's stay for one night, otherwise, you will have to carry me all the way, anyway, the eldest brother said that he can't carry it. ”

Thinking that he wanted to carry her all the way, Fu Xiaojian was reluctant, and hurriedly agreed,

"Okay, we'll stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning. ”

In fact, Xing Youyou's sore feet are only one of the reasons why she asked to stay for one night, and another reason is that at least so far she thinks that these two people are not bad, and she wants to observe and observe whether she can really withstand the temptation.

When she saw the closed state-run hotel in Ganning Town before, she had a general idea, thinking that after settling down in Xihe Town, she would start to see if she could open a state-run hotel, she had enough raw materials, and her uncle was a chef in the county, and what was missing was two trustworthy people, if this couple could not think about their big bag of food tonight, they would barely pass the first hurdle.

At night, Xing Youyou and the five of them lived in the rooms of his son and his old lady, Fu Xiaojian and Xiao Wu were in one room, and the three brothers and sisters were in one room, and the food was put in the room where Fu Xiaojian was.

Xing Youyou had no choice, so he found Xiao Wu and whispered to Xiao Wu,

"Little Fifth Brother, you help me watch the food, don't let people steal it. ”

Of course, Xiao Wu knew the importance of food, which was related to their future life in Hexi Town, so he nodded and agreed to Xing Youyou.

The next morning, Xing Youyou got up early in the morning, put on his clothes and shoes, and saw Xing Youliang and Xing Youqian's faces full of disbelief.

"Is it expected that the sun will rise in the west later?"

Xing Youyou didn't care about Xing Youqian's jokes about her, and went directly to Xiao Wu's room, but saw that Xiao Wu's eyes were dark blue, and asked,

"Little Fifth Brother, why do you have dark circles under your eyes, didn't you sleep last night?"

Seeing him nodded, Xing Youyou asked again,

"Haven't slept all the time?"

"Well, you said you wanted me to keep watching. ”

"Little Fifth Brother... ”

In the morning, after breakfast, Xing Youyou took advantage of the time when they were packing up their things, and secretly filled the family's water tank with water in the secret realm, so I believe that it must be good for the woman's body, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution, not only their capital, maybe it will become her capital in the future, so it is also good to take care of it in advance.
