Oh, where is there a corpse, mother, your scolding words are so ugly-!

When Aunt Li felt that the time had been delayed for half a quarter and wanted to scold again, she saw Liying coming out with her hair unkempt and a wrinkled face, wearing a patched cotton coat, and her hair was braided into a long braided hair at the back of her head.

Aunt Li may have seen her appearance and only felt more and more angry, daughter's family, you said that you were born with a water spirit and a water spirit that looks cute, and you liked it a little in your heart, and you can also find a good mother-in-law in the future and pull and pull your mother's family, but just look at the appearance of her own daughter, old-fashioned, dirty and dirty, no matter how you look at it, there is no sense of joy at all.

Damn, you're still sleeping in a daze-I saw that she wasn't in good spirits, and I don't know if I was sleeping where I was sleeping just now, Aunt Liu just looked uncomfortable and scolded her, and pulled Liying's body over, Liying's body is much thicker than Qin Mo's, and it can even be said that she is fat, and she still raises children to be fat in such a barren environment, which shows that the Liu family has a solid background.

Ask why the famine can still have a solid family.

Here in Chishui Village, even if there is a famine every year, I haven't seen how many people with big surnames can really starve to death.

The people surnamed Li and Liu should be more down-to-earth.

It's like Qin Mo's family can't eat the poor wild vegetables, and now there is a nest of cornmeal and rice bran mixed in the family.

One is that these families generally have labor at home, and the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and there are no rice grains and some shells, and other miscellaneous grains, and these women are shrewd and calculating, and they always have to save some, where can they really starve to death.

The disaster relief food from the imperial court, Qin Mo didn't see it anyway, they all said that the porridge tent at the entrance of the village had alms, and everyone had a share, it was just a surface, white rice was never seen, it was all some rotten sweet potato soup, like Xiangxiang, to drink half a bowl of rotten sweet potato soup, you must also see whether you are pleasing to the eye or not.

In the famine year, every household could not afford to eat white flour and cook rice porridge, but the difference is that after some people come down with disaster relief food, they have beans, wheat bran, rice bran and even white rice mixed with wild vegetables to cook and survive, while a household like Qin Mo really can't get anything.

Let's talk about it, people still say that you have a small population, so two handfuls of rice bran will be sent away...

Isn't there still half a tank of water in the water tank, why do you have to fetch water again?

This Aunt Li's voice was indeed loud, and Li Ying yawned lazily.

You are a lazy seedling, half a tank of water can withstand a few uses, and the family has to buy piglets to come back to raise, since Qin Mo is also here, you will go with you if you are asked to go, put the bamboo basket on your back, go to the halfway up the mountain and carry a few buckets of water out, the water tank is not satisfied with noon today, you are not allowed to eat.

Aunt Li scolded unconvinced when she saw Liying's lazy appearance.

Seeing that Aunt Li had already squatted down and continued to hammer her clothes on the slate, Liying's mouth suddenly pursed higher, and she squinted at her mother's back for a while, grimacing, and chanting words in her mouth for a while before leaving.

Li Ying came out of the house with a basket on her back, her yellow and red face still had the air of getting up, and the torch was in her hand.

Walking with her head bored, she walked in front, Qin Mo walked behind, and walked halfway up the mountain together.

After the rain, some wild vegetables grew on the hillside again, and people came to dig them every day, depending on their luck.

Li Ying is a master of digging wild vegetables, and while taking Qin Mo in front, she silently saw edible wild vegetables on both sides of the road and dug them.

Qin Mo, what are you eating at home now, last time the village chief came to our house and gave out beans, locust beans, do you have it?

Li Ying paused.

It is also the disaster relief food that the imperial court called to divide it, and it is said that it is calculated according to the portion, and my mother grinds it into flour, and stirs it with fine rice and fine bran every day, and it is served with radish pickles, which is not delicious, and it is dry-!

Belch. Qin Mo listened to her tone, and responded softly in the back, no, our family doesn't have it!

The village chief never walked in front of their house, let alone sent locust beans to eat.

Oh. Li Ying suddenly realized, turned her head and said to Qin Mo, probably because you have few family members!

Li Ying turned around and climbed the mountain road again, as if she also realized that she should not continue on this topic.

Large households enjoy better treatment, especially those with laborers and middle-aged men at home, because these people dare not be provoked, and the village chief generally has to please these big households in order to be able to follow the next village head.

Dispensable personnel and households like Qin Mo will naturally not be taken into account in village affairs.

In fact, in the end, she was annoyed by what Li Ying just said, Qin Mo knew the reason, and she didn't care about it at all, and those two catties of locust beans were not indispensable to her.

So what do you eat every day now?

It seemed that she couldn't bear it, and it was also to find a topic, so Liying turned her head and asked while climbing the mountain.

Qin Mo looked around casually, holding his hand, in order to avoid Li Ying's gaze looking at him, he replied lightly and seemingly distractedly

Just eat those!

Liying's expression froze for a moment, then she turned around and didn't ask any more.

Finally, I almost climbed halfway up the mountain, but I don't know if there were a few wolf howls from the other side of the mountain, or the sounds of other animals.

Qin Mo's feet stopped on the stone and paused

Liying turned her head and left, it's okay, didn't you taste and hear it before, you're used to it.

When Qin Mo heard this, he was relieved.

The place in this village where water is fetched up the hill is a pond.

There were a few streams of water that came down from the mountains and flowed into the pond, and the water was so clear that the dead leaves at the bottom of the pond could be seen.

People who often come to fetch water have placed a few stepping stones here.

Li Ying grabbed the wooden bucket and lifted a full bucket of water from the pond, and then put it into the back basket with great difficulty.

And Qin Mo also learned to do it. Because of the lack of strength, the water in the barrel was not full.

You carry the basket for me, and then I'll give you-!

Because it was flat ground, it was not easy for two people to carry the heavy basket on their backs.

Okay!

Qin Mo responded.

Help Liying carry the basket first, and then lift it for herself after Liying carries it.

In the end, both men carried a wooden bucket of water and walked down the mountain.
