After speaking, Li Yao nodded to the visitor, and then comforted Han Shi, who had a black face and held back his anger: "Mother, don't be angry. This walks down every day, where is there still the strength to be angry with people. There are some things that you worry about with others, but you are angry with yourself and lose your style and identity. ”

Knowing that his daughter was comforting herself, Han Shiqiang cheered up and smiled. She took her daughter's hand and said, "Mother is not angry, good daughter." ”

"What do you mother and daughter say, that's it? Everyone is here at this time, and the two of you will naturally not admit what you just did. "The Wu family did not give up, and insisted on pressing the selfish crime on the Han mother and daughter.

At this time, Gu Shi and the others were dumbfounded when they heard that there was only this bucket of water. Gu's concubine Fang asked with a sad face, "How is this good?!" ”

Concubine Wu's words, Han ignored them, she looked at Gu and said: "Sister-in-law Gu probably also knows, the post house is mostly made of wood, in order to prevent water from going away, the post station must prepare more water in the water tank." Who knew that the post station here was barely such a bucket of water. ”

At this point, Han paused and continued to explain: "There is more than half a bucket of water boiling in this pot, and my father-in-law and sister-in-law Gu also saw it, and the situation is not good. I'll be cheeky enough to bring some hot water to my father-in-law first, and the rest of you will watch and divide it. ”

Just like my daughter said, go to bed early, you still have to stay up every day, where is the strength to worry about Wu.

Although the Gu family has not been exiled, they have also dealt with a lot of general affairs. Today's official troubles, she also sees it in her eyes. The rations were not enough for one liter, and two catties were not enough, and she knew it in her heart. Now that there is not enough water, she knows that someone has specially instructed the officials to be stricter with them. Suddenly, her tired and unusually tired complexion faded and turned even paler.

Seeing that Gu Shi was stunned and looked bad, Li Yao knew that she was a little bit clear. The water in the cauldron boiled, and she said no more, but took the basin and scooped up the small half-basin of water that could be used to drown her feet.

Looking at his daughter holding the wooden basin, Han said distressedly: "I'll serve it, A-Yao." ”

"Mother, hurry up and take the water bowl and leave, don't fight with me anymore. It's not that my daughter hasn't worked before, and this little water can still be moved. Li Yao squeezed Han away, endured the pain in his feet, and took the water and left. In fact, the pain in her feet endured and she became numb and unconscious, and she felt that she could still hold it up at this time.

Seeing that the Gu family was able to call the shots, she kindly reminded her: "Uncle Gu, you should use water quickly, it's not good to drink the water when it's cold, it's going to cause a stomachache." Leave the two of them to boil the rest of the water in the bucket, and the rest of the people will wait for the water in the pot to go forward. ”

Now they are all in trouble and run out of water, and Wu is afraid that he will not be able to use water, so he is already scooping water at this time. The wooden basin is one in Li Yao's hand, and she has one here.

looked at Han and then at Li Yao, and then Gu said in embarrassment: "Miss Li San,...... It's not that we can't wait for anyone to burn the fire, it's just that we can't wait for the fire. ”

When Han heard this, she looked at her daughter. Her daughter is now more sensible, and she can't help but rely on her daughter's will in everything.

"Gu Boniang, just call me A-Yao. Or you'll have to wait a minute. You come back with me with the water, and I'll come back later to help light the fire." It's not difficult to make a fire, you learn it, and you can boil water yourself in the future. She said this, and before she could reply, she was already walking forward. If you delay any longer, what time will you go to bed tonight?!

Seeing that his daughter simply made a decision, Han followed her daughter without saying a word.

The Wu family scooped up a large basin of water, and the adults of the Gu family couldn't wipe their face and open their mouths, but Fu Jinglin was angry, and she opened her mouth to express her dissatisfaction: "Aunt Wu, just this water, you scooped up most of the basin, what can you do with other people?" ”

"Just now, A-Yao scooped up most of the basin of water, and I didn't see you say anything, is it because people will burn fires and bully the soft and fear the hard?" Wu struggled to pick up the water, and then prepared to go outside.

The princess Fu Jingqi was very tired and tired, she raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, and said directly with an impatient expression: "Aunt Wu, I am looking at the water of others, where are people like you, scooping so much!" If everyone still wants to drink water, you have scooped it all up and freshened up, and everyone still drinks water? ”

After Fu Jingqi said this, Wu remembered the water she hadn't drunk yet.

In the end, Gu Shi couldn't see it, and after discussing it with her, she agreed to give half of the water to the Fu family.

At this time, Wang Changchun, who was the first to arrive at the post station, was sitting in a large bathtub bathing. The same is true for other errand servants. This also blames Li Yao for running out of water.

It turned out that this was Wang Changchun's backhand when he came to the post station early.

When going to the back kitchen, Li Yao thought about what her mother Han had told her: "If the situation goes on like this, obviously everyone will not be able to get through it." It seems that your uncle has carefully inquired about the background of this official errand. ”

Anyway, the backyard of the ancient post station is not a stone slab, so there are weeds growing. Remembering that it was not completely dark before, when he first entered the post station to go to the toilet in the backyard, he saw the new green at the base of the wall in the yard, and Li Yao came up with the idea of wild vegetables.

Now that foreign aid has not come, I can only fight the idea of these wild vegetables if I hope to have enough to eat. At this time, Artemisia is out of season and it is the time to eat camellia, although each family will also pick wild vegetables, but there will inevitably be omissions on the official road. Nowadays, there are no car exhaust emissions, and the air pollution is not like in later generations, and the wild vegetables on the roadside can be washed and eaten.

Li Yao taught the Fu sisters how to light the fire, helped to light the fire, and she picked the water in the yard of the post station by the light of the oil lamp in the kitchen.

Looking at the elm tree by the wall of the post yard, she sighed a few times with pity - now that the elm sprouts are new, it is not the time to eat.

She exchanged the shepherd's cabbage for a little boiling water, put some coarse salt in the water, scalded the little shepherd's cabbage she picked, and then broke up the sorghum noodles that were given to her today and put them into the boiling water.

"Is this possible?" Seeing her like this, Fu Jinglin couldn't help but ask uncertainly. They really hadn't eaten anything so shabby, but it was also true that they were squeezing. Such...... It looks like it's edible.

Glancing at this little girl who was one year younger than her and familiar with herself, Li Yao sighed and responded helplessly: "There's no way, so I still have a hot meal to eat." I remember that shepherd's cabbage has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, and stopping bleeding, but people with a weak spleen and stomach still have to eat less. My grandfather looked feverish, but his spleen and stomach were better and he was fine. ”

Seeing the pickled cabbage rice brought in, Mrs. Li couldn't help but say that Li Yao was wasting the grain.

Li Yao was so tired that she didn't want to speak, but she still defended herself: "It's good that my grandfather can eat some food." Grandfather can't swallow it anymore. As long as it's a meal, it can always replenish your strength. ”

Looking at this granddaughter, who had changed a lot for a while, Mrs. Li took a while before she continued the bowl and carefully fed her husband. This granddaughter has changed, she felt it a few days ago, but now she looks at it and it hasn't changed a little bit!

Han is persuading a few small ones to eat up the nest in their hands, otherwise they will have no physical strength the next day.

The water is so little, and it has to be used with people, Li Yao had washed her hands before, so at this time she didn't plan to share a basin with people - she would rather be dirty.

She thought that if she met Uncle Han in a few days, she should be better. If you really can't do it, you can only make do with people, you can't keep it dirty, right? If only it could rain, if only it could rain, you can use a wooden barrel to catch the rainwater and heat it for washing.
