Chapter Ninety-Six: Don't Come Again

It was night, and today was another day of exhaustion, and when they came home after the porridge at the city gate, the four of them fell on the sofa in the living room, and no one had the strength to get up and go to the bath and cook.

Liu Dong rested for a while before he recovered, and after getting along with Cheng Yangyang for the past few days, they could be regarded as having difficulties together, so he was not polite to her.

"Boss Cheng, shall we go again tomorrow?" asked Liu Dong with his eyes closed.

"I don't know", Cheng Yangyang has no food in her hands, and she has the half of the tank left in the kitchen, so she has to keep it to raise the few at home.

They have been eating porridge with those refugees at the city gate for several days, she just grew some meat a year ago, and now she is skinny again, and Liu Dong and they have never even gained weight.

But what to do? The city gates were not opened for a long time, and the people of the yamen did not even look at them, let alone reopen the warehouse to release grain.

"It's really not good, let's kill all the ducks tomorrow!" Cheng Yangyang looked at the ceiling sluggishly and said lightly.

"No way!"

The other three spoke in unison and resolutely disagreed, "Boss Cheng, that's our last hope!"

Of course, Cheng Yangyang knows that the rice warehouse is empty, the fish pond is empty, and there is only one light rod left in the rapeseed, and now all she can take out is the duck eggs every day.

But the temperature has plummeted in the past two days, there will be a light snow at night, and the ducks lay eggs less frequently, which is not enough for the thousands of people outside the city to eat.

"I'll go out, you guys go to sleep first", Cheng Yangyang got up with difficulty, didn't even light the lamp, and went out directly in the dark.

The night was dark and windy, she kept wandering at the gate of Wang Xiaoshan's courtyard, not daring to go in, she didn't know how to talk to him.

This matter has nothing to do with him from beginning to end, at a time when everyone is in danger, no one is willing to take out the food, besides, with her current situation, it is impossible for her to repay the borrowed food in a short time.

In the final analysis, if she stepped into this courtyard now, it would harm Wang Xiaoshan, which was the biggest reason why Cheng Yangyang didn't dare to go in.

In the end, she didn't set foot in the courtyard either.

On the eleventh day of soup kitchen, the ox cart in Liujia Village was empty for the first time.

"Sister Cheng family, you have done your best, they won't blame you, go back!"

Today, there are only two small baskets of duck eggs, which are not enough to eat anyway, so the people from Liujiacun persuaded her to give up, but Cheng Yangyang still insisted on going.

"It's okay, it's a big deal, let's cook an egg drop soup today!"

"Alas, you, just don't listen to persuasion!" This stubbornness in her body sometimes really gives them a headache, and they don't listen to anything.

When the refugees outside the city saw Cheng Yangyang coming again today, they all sighed, and some even came directly to stop her from cooking on the fire, "Miss Cheng, don't come, we won't eat, it's okay!"

But at the same time, they felt very sorry for her, a teenage girl, who had endured too much!

"I don't care if you eat it or not, it's my business to do it or not!" Cheng Yangyang said willfully, "Eat egg drop soup today, no porridge, do you like to eat it or not!"

They are deliberately stimulating each other, and the words they say are very bad, just to make each other feel less guilty.

"You girl, why are you disobedient! We all said we wouldn't eat, don't you understand!" An old man was so angry that he hit the ground with a cane, he wanted to hit Cheng Yangyang and wake her up, but he was reluctant.

But Cheng Yangyang didn't pay attention to him at all, and just buried himself in the soup.

"Look at the soup in your pot with little water, can you eat enough!" The old man looked at the soup in the pot with disgust, "You let us eat this, we might as well go directly to the river to drink water, and use you to make it for us."

"It seems that you have the ability, don't you? If you really have the ability, you can come with some big fish and meat, and if you can't do it, you can go home and get married!"

The old man scolded, and he didn't dare to look at her when he scolded, for fear that he would soften his heart when he saw her.

Such a scene can be seen in the past two days, Liujia Village is used to it, and the refugees are also used to it, they are all silently watching the excitement on the sidelines, letting Cheng Yangyang and the old man quarrel alone.

"Old Dutou, you feel uncomfortable if you don't preach for a day, don't you, what does it matter to you whether I marry or not!"

Cheng Yangyang heard him mention the matter of marriage again, she couldn't be silent anymore, from the day after her soup kitchen, these refugees began to inquire about her marital status, knowing that she was not married yet, so they set up a bridge for her.

They naturally had no qualifications to talk about family affairs with her when they fell to this, so they set their sights on the people of Liujia Village and Liu Dong, and matched her one by one, even the yacha on the city gate.

made her embarrassed when she faced Liu Xiqing and them.

"You are a big girl's family, and if you don't marry when you are old, you won't let people say anything!" The old man, who was called an old man by Cheng Yangyang, continued to argue with her.

"You always say that I don't marry, so what about you, you're not the only one!" Cheng Yangyang is also ruthless, who wouldn't stab each other's hearts!

"What do you compare to me, I'm buried in half of the loess, besides, I'm not like you, I'm married!"

"Yes, yes, you have been married, you are amazing, okay!" The egg drop soup is cooked quickly, and it takes a few sentences to argue, Cheng Yangyang hit a bowl and handed it to the old man, "Eat quickly, you don't have the strength to quarrel with me if you don't eat."

"I won't eat!" he won't eat today, "If you don't leave, I'll starve myself to death!"

Not again......

Cheng Yangyang asked Liu Dong to take the soup and share it with others, and he left to coax this strong old man, "If I don't leave, you will starve to death, and if I leave, you will starve to death, so if I don't leave, you will starve to death, so why should I go!"

"You!" she looked like a scoundrel, so angry that the old man choked enough.

"What are you, eat!" Cheng Yangyang said domineeringly, coaxing this old man every day is really tiring.

"I don't want to eat food cooked by someone who can't get married!" the old man glanced at the soup in her hand, turned his head and said childishly.

"Who can't get married!" Cheng Yangyang defended himself loudly, "I haven't met anyone I want to marry, if I do, I'll marry you in minutes!"

The older and the younger they were, the more fierce they became, and everyone automatically avoided them, praying that they would never be caught, and if they were caught, it would become their punching bag.

"This grandfather and grandson still have the strength to quarrel, it seems that this year's refugees are having a good time!"

"Miss Cheng, you see that everyone cares so much about your family affairs, you can choose a young man to marry, haha", the officials also shouted at Cheng Yangyang, these days they have always watched the excitement and not think it was a big deal!

These yachas, when they asked when they would open the city gate, they kept silent, and as soon as they talked about gossip, they were as if they were like something, Cheng Yangyang had long been used to it.
