Chapter 12 Borrowing Food from Neighbors
Stepping on the wet mud to come to the two cages of vigorous reeds, Qin Mo found that the reeds, which did not look like a big cage from a distance, approached and found that the leaves grew extraordinarily verdant, the stem of the reeds had fine white hairs, piercing the hands, and the leaves were also extraordinarily tough, thin, and it would be unbearable to cut the palms and backs of the hands with bare hands.
Qin Mo grabbed two handfuls of weeds around him, put them in the palm of his hand with grass, and as soon as he lifted his feet and supported his body, he began to cut.
Grasping the reed rod and scythe, he slashed the root hard, and he heard a 'creaking' sound.
The scythe, which was originally very blunt, was sharpened twice, and the white serrated blade was faintly seen.
But anyway, the knife is still very blunt.
Qin Mo pulled hard, but it was actually very difficult.
Xiangxiang squatted beside her, she was too small, first, she didn't have an extra sickle, but she didn't know how to cut and her strength was not enough, so she could only squat next to her and draw circles on the mud floor, and the purpose of Qin Mo bringing her here was to help carry the grass home, so she didn't hope that she would cut it.
After a while, Qin Mo had already cut about half of the reeds in this big cage.
The hands were blistered, the shoulders were very sore, and the meal I ate in the morning was now on an empty stomach.
It was raining, and his lower body was soaked with water, and his legs were cut by reed leaves in many places.
Xiangxiang, let's take these back for the time being.
To repair the holes in the roof, in fact, although there are many cuts here, but this is still far from enough, at least the two cages of reeds must be cut, and then the big hole in the roof can be filled.
But let's get these back first.
Xiangxiang was very obedient, Qin Mo hugged a big hug and gave a small part to Xiangxiang, but Xiangxiang still had a hard time hugging her.
The small body held a reed pole twice as long as hers.
One step at a time.
Although Qin Mo sometimes looked back in front of him, his nose was sour when he saw Xiangxiang's appearance of working hard but hard.
It's so small, how can this reed prick her hands, she shouldn't have let a two-year-old girl hold such a skin-cutting reed pole.
However, her current body is only a seven-year-old child, her strength is not great, and this body is skinny, if she runs back and forth twice by herself, she can't bear it, so she can only let Xiangxiang work with her.
Don't say she's selfish, after all, this house is for two people to live in, so they can only let each other do something.
It's been raining, the sky in the distance, the fields near it, it's all rainy, the farmers in the fields have finished their work, no one wants to be full of farming outside in such a heavy rain, so Qin Mo and the little girl behind him are still being baptized in the rain.
Finally, the two of them took the cut reed leaves back, because they were too tired, and before they entered the house, the reed pole in Xiangxiang's hand was thrown at the door of the mud house, and after throwing it down, the little adult stood there and clapped his hands.
Pat your hands clean of water and mud.
Qin Mo also knew that Xiangxiang was tired, and after entering the house, he took off his cloak.
Turn around
Xiangxiang, you can rest first, my sister will cook lunch-!
Sympathetic to Xiangxiang, in fact, she is also tired, and she holds a lot more, but she is bigger than Xiangxiang, and her strength is naturally greater.
Xiangxiang's thin yellow face suddenly raised, looking at Qin Mo at this moment, hearing the word lunch, a slight gloom flashed in her big eyes.
It was only for a moment, and Qin Mo still noticed it.
Fragrant. What happened to you.
Seeing this scene, Qin Mo hesitated to walk over, squatted down, grabbed Xiangxiang's left thin arm, and asked softly.
Sister. Do we have anything else to eat except wild vegetables, and Xiangxiang thinks that if you eat it, you won't starve-
After speaking, the little girl consciously lowered her head and felt embarrassed.
In fact, it was not that she didn't know that this thing was hard to find, and they were all starving to death before.
It's not easy to have something to eat now, and she still hates it.
In fact, as soon as Xiangxiang's words fell, Qin Mo's eyes were red, in fact, it wasn't that she was picky about Xiangxiang, in fact, she knew that Xiangxiang, a sensible child, was not a person who loved to ask for something, if it weren't for the fact that this dish really couldn't fill her stomach, she shouldn't have said these words.
The fungus in that place does have a weak taste, no oil and no salt, so it can't be eaten, and there is not much nutrition in nutrition, because he is afraid that there will be no food if he eats it, Qin Mo does not dare to cook a lot of food every meal, and he always has to save some life, so he cooks two large bowls of clear soup every day and floats a few pieces of wild vegetables on it, which is indeed nothing to eat.
said that she could only hang her life, and she still had to work every day.
But what can be done?
She's just entered this environment now, and there's nothing here.
After thinking about it, Qin Mo made up his mind and sighed in his heart, it was indeed her who couldn't do it as a sister.
In this way, having made up his mind, Qin Mo also pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and squeezed Xiangxiang's arms tightly.
You go to Aunt Li next to you to see if Jinqing and Aunt Li are at home, and you say that it was my sister who asked them to borrow some cornmeal and fine rice bran, and borrowed them temporarily, and I will return them in a few days, and ask them to borrow a little!
Regardless of Qin Mo's painful arms that he pinched, Xiangxiang, who heard this, nodded obediently.
And after Xiangxiang nodded, Qin Mo's hand loosened, his body tilted, he exhaled, and sat on the ground.
It seems that we have to find some money to use, otherwise, this will borrow something else, and what will be paid back when the time comes.
She Qin Mo, her character in this life is fine, she borrowed something from others, since she borrowed it, she must pay it back.
It's just that in this way, the pressure can't be avoided.
Fragrant. Why don't you go yet.
Qin Mo, who had spit out in one breath, looked up, thinking that Xiangxiang had turned around.
found that the little girl was still standing in place.
When he looked up, he asked in surprise.
Sister. Sister. I'm not greedy. I'm not a picky eater. It's full. We just eat wild vegetables, and we just eat wild vegetables.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed head-on, but I saw Xiangxiang pounce all of a sudden.
What's wrong.!
Qin Mo hugged the crying Xiangxiang, stroked the big original head with his hand, and asked softly.
Hearing Qin Mo's question, Xiangxiang took her head out of Qin Mo's arms, and when she looked up at Qin Mo, her round face was full of tears and acne.
The mouth is elongated, deflated, and crying.
It's Xiangxiang who is not sensible, Xiangxiang who is not sensible, and my sister is so hard. It's not easy to get some wild vegetables. Xiangxiang still wants to eat cornmeal wowotou-
Qin Mo's nose was sour when he heard this, and at that moment, tears almost fell out.
After all, there is only a two-year-old child, and this nest of rice bran is such a good thing, but he can't even eat it.
Qin Moxin is really sour, she has never broken chicken, duck and fish meat since she was a child, when she was a child, her family could let her eat well, and her grandmother cooked in different ways.
However, this is not a plane after all.
Well, Xiangxiang doesn't cry. hugged Xiangxiang into his arms in distress, Qin Mo secretly wiped his tears, and then lowered his head and wiped Xiangxiang's tears indiscriminately.
This ragged clothes, and this dirty, knotted hair, may not have been washed since birth, and probably has not been bathed.
So even if it's a child, there is a strange smell on it.
There are no modern shampoos and shower gels, and I don't know what kind of shampoo people use to wash their hair and showers.
But don't think about that now.
Xiangxiang is fine, my sister also thinks that the clear soup is not enough, and she has to work in the afternoon, so you go to Aunt Li to borrow some, their family must still have this little food - this is summer, and it is not the green and yellow in February and March, you just say that it is my sister who said, and when my sister has food in her hands, I will definitely return it to them, you must remember, just say that my sister will definitely pay it back, and ask them to borrow some - !
Qin Mo asked Xiangxiang to stand up and instructed him kindly. And emphasized that she had to say the words 'will definitely be repaid', for fear that this Aunt Li was afraid that her family would be poor and she would not be able to repay it, so she would not borrow.
------Off topic------
