I couldn't wait to ask later, so I called my mother to the West House after dinner, closed the door, and went to the back room.

"Mother, will you be ......?" Fu asked in a low voice.

Fu Wen was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he heard his daughter say, "Mother, in case someone ...... That, you should be bitten by a dog, don't think it's bad for yourself, special treatment in special circumstances, just save your life. Just don't say it to anyone, don't think about it yourself, look forward, forget about the bad ones, don't keep them in your heart. ”

Fu Wenshi patted his daughter and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" My mother has always lived in the same room with Yuanhe, and my mother is cooking there, and it is someone else who delivers food. ”

"Then I see that my mother's appearance is not good, and my father also looks like he has something on his mind, and I think it ......"

"What are you wondering about? Mother is the only man in your life, and she hasn't done anything to be sorry for your father. ”

Fu Xi shut up, and he was embarrassed to say something to his mother.

"What's going on then?"

"What will your father do when he is worried? There is not enough food to eat for half a month, and there is nothing to sell outside, so what should the two families do? ”

Fu Xi pulled up his mother again, "Then go back to the main house, maybe they are talking about this, go and listen." ”

When I entered the main house, I heard Grandma Bao talking.

"The situation outside is almost the same, every family doesn't have much food in stock, and most of it has been robbed, I have seen that there are more people who go out to flee for refugees in a short time, and if they don't go out and wait for starvation, they may have a little way to live when they go out."

No one made a sound, the Dou family and the Fu family also had to face this situation, how many days could they be saved by relying on relatives to save them? The problem is that relatives don't have enough food to spare.

Everyone was silent, the triplets nestled in the arms of the adults looked at this and that, and Da Tie said, "Go, go." “

He meant to go out.

Xiao'er just wants to go out to play, these days it's not in the pit under the bed or in the cave, it's long been suffocated, and now when I see familiar people, I want to go to the yard outside.

"Okara, you two take them to the courtyard to play."

Fu Xi hugged Yanhua, and the bean dregs held one in one hand and went to the courtyard.

The wooden bed was broken, crooked, and the dregs said, "Look, I'll fix it." "I barely repaired it, and stuffed a bench under the bed, for fear that the bed board would fall off.

Only then did he put the triplets on the bed.

After a while, Grandma Bao and Fu Erdong went out and were about to leave, when suddenly someone knocked on the door, and bean dregs hurriedly went to the front to open the door, and then led the two in.

When Grandma Bao saw someone coming, she blurted out, "What are you doing here?" ”

Everyone saw that her face changed, and looked over, a middle-aged man in his early forties, who had never seen it, and a young man in his twenties next to him, had seen Tao Zhewei, the eldest grandson of Aunt Tao of Tao's shop.

Grandma Bao regained her expression and introduced to everyone, "This is your third cousin." After speaking, he said to him, "At this juncture, there is chaos outside, how did you run out?" Where's your mother? ”

Aunt Tao's third son is called Tao Fuyun, he saluted first, and called out to Douzhu Doubao, "Cousin, cousin-in-law." ”

To Fu Erdong, he called him the same as his wife, "cousin and brother and sister." ”

Greeting each other, the bean dregs and their wives came over to salute with their triplets.

After that, Tao Fuyun replied to Grandma Bao's words just now: "My mother is at home, I heard that the rebels are coming here, my mother is not at ease, let me bring my eldest nephew over to have a look." After coming, the rebels had already entered the city, so we had to hide in the house of an acquaintance in Xiashui Village. However, people from nearby villages ran away, and those who didn't run also hid, and I met someone in Xiashui Village and went to his house. Last night the rebels passed by Xiashui Village and stayed there, and when they were gone, we hurried over. ”

Douzhu let the Tao family's uncle and nephew into the house, and the group returned to the main house.

Fu used to let the dregs watch the child, and she stood by the door so that she could hear the people in the house.

Douzhu first thanked his aunt's family, and then briefly talked about the situation in the past few days.

Tao Fuyun said, "My mother said, I saw my aunt and my family, let me take it back to Tao's shop, my family has land, there was grain in previous years, everyone boiled together, and next year will be relieved." ”

They are all counting on the imperial court to provide disaster relief next year, but now the situation is difficult.

Grandma Bao had thought about this problem before, that is, there were more than a dozen people in the two families, and they went to embarrass the sister, but she didn't expect the sister to come to pick them up in advance.

My heart was sour, and I looked at my third nephew, unable to open my mouth to speak.

Douzhu and Fu Erdong were grateful, but no one could agree. This is not a matter of giving a few bags of rice grain, more than a dozen people, eat until the New Year, and also eat for four months, who has a lot of rice and grain and has no place to put so many people to eat?

Tao Fuyun saw that no one spoke, and said, "My mother said that you don't have to think about anything, you are also helping the Tao family when you go, and no one dares to worry about the crowd, otherwise there will be enough food for others to rob." Now there are too many people who go out to ask for food, and they can't sell their sons and daughters. ”

Grandma Bao slapped the table and said, "Okay, pack up and let's go, stay and wait to starve to death?" ”

He said to Douzhu again, "Son-in-law, I know you are embarrassed, now your aunt is a lifesaver, life is worth more than face, and you will honor your aunt well in the future, and treat your cousin and cousin well." ”

Douzhu stood up and gave Tao Fu a look, and said, "I'm ashamed, I have Cousin Lao." ”

This matter was settled, and Grandma Bao took someone back to Bao's house.

Fu used to tell the bean dregs in the past, and the bean dregs said, "People say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but my aunt and grandmother think back to my grandmother, and know that my grandmother is not worried about my mother, and she has helped a lot before, so I ...... if I think about it." In the future, I will make a good money so that I can honor my grandmother and aunt. ”

"That's right! Let them also honor their aunt and grandmother. That is the most capable third cousin you said just now? It can be seen that if you speak clearly, you will have to learn more from your third cousin in the future, and get along with people who are better than you in order to grow. ”

The bean dregs didn't have the heart to listen to this, and said, "Then we have to pack up and pack up our sons' things." ”

"yes, I'll sort it out."

When she sorted out a few large bags and put them on the wooden bed in the courtyard, Douzhu came out and said, "I'm going to go." ”

Past......

It is estimated that I will walk for two days to go to Taojiapu, who will carry these things?

Moved back to the house.

For lunch, I made rice in the past, fried dried vegetables, and now I can't save food, so I let them eat one by one, and the triplets are soaked rice.

In the middle of the afternoon, Grandma Bao came over again to discuss things with her son-in-law.

"If we can't take the grain, we just give it to the bean dregs and a few sisters' families, they have their own in-laws, and we can't help them if we want to. My rice grain was given to the four children's family for two bags and one bag for the pimple family, but fortunately he came to report the news cleverly. Yours give a bag to the Wang family next door, don't look at the usual noisy and noisy, when it was critical, people didn't spoil our family affairs, and they didn't tell the rebels that the triplets were still alive. You don't know if you don't go out, people say that you don't create this sin. You have a good person to give three or five pounds. ”

Douzhu listened to his mother-in-law, and only brought valuable clothes with him, not clothes or anything.

After leaving after two days, the Fu family didn't have anything to clean up, so they separated the money they earned and hid it with a few people, and Fu Yuanhe was responsible for carrying the steamed steamed buns.

In the past, I asked the bean dregs to go to Bao's house to get eggs, boiled tea eggs with Daddy Bean's tea leaves, boiled half of the salted eggs, and boiled for a while to break the egg shell and put salt to continue cooking.

Then she cooks the balls, adds some dried vegetables to them, and makes some food that she can take with her and eat without cooking.

I found that there was a small bag of mung beans in the kitchen, which was useless at first, which would make the bean dregs quickly grind and make mung bean cakes.

Fu Wen's family also made the food that could be taken away at home, and Fu Xiyun returned home after the rebels left, and followed his mother to do things.

Tao Fuyun wanted to go to the street to transfer Bao Grandma and didn't let him, saying that he wouldn't let outsiders know that they were leaving, in case someone wanted to follow all the way to Tao's shop, he couldn't refuse.
