Chapter 12 Finding food in the vegetable field

"What is Ma Bao Nan?" Qiu Mo was originally very anxious, for fear that Zhang Xiaohua would be angry, but suddenly he was stuck.

What is Ma Bao Nan?

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "Ma Bao Nan just listens to your mother for everything... That is, your mother's, your mother will always be right. Got it? ”

"Oh!" Qiu Mo nodded as if he didn't understand, "It turns out that I'm Ma Bao Nan!" ”

Zhang Xiaohua: "......"

"No, no, I'm not a mother, although I listen to my mother, but I don't think what my mother said and did was right. And I'm not towards my mother, I'm towards Xiaohua. Qiu Mo said suddenly.

"You're just a fool, Bai Chang is so big that he was pinched to death by your mother, and you have to look at her face even when you eat. I really doubt you're biological. Zhang Xiaohua said hatefully.

Then he touched his hungry belly and said, "I'm so hungry!" Let's go find something to eat! ”

"But my mother locked the kitchen door, and we couldn't get in." Qiu Mo said distressedly.

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "The peanuts have been pulled, is there anything else to eat in your field?" ”

Zhang Xiaohua originally wanted to go to the field to steal something to eat, but thinking about it, this kind of stealing is too depleting of character. So she thought, if there is still food in the Qiu family's field, then she can just go to the field to find food.

Owning one's own land is not considered stealing.

"Nothing but the vegetables in the vegetable patch." Qiu Mo thought for a while and said.

"Vegetable patch? Let's go, let's see. Zhang Xiaohua said, and took Qiu Mo to the vegetable field.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiaohua walked around the kitchen window.

The work in the Qiu family's field is basically done by Qiu Mo alone, so he couldn't be clearer about how much land the Qiu family has and how many things have been planted.

Qiu Mo took Zhang Xiaohua to the vegetable field familiarly, and then said worriedly: "Xiaohua, there are only radishes here to pad your stomach, you hurry up and finish eating, we should go back, if my mother knows that we are not at home and run to the field to eat radishes, she will definitely be angry." ”

"Are you so afraid that she'll be angry? What's wrong with her anger? She still dares to beat you, anyway, she can't beat you, I'm not afraid of her. Zhang Xiaohua said disappreciatively.

"It's... This... But......! ”

"Okay, don't do this, pull out the turnips and cabbage, and take them to the river to wash. Hey, what is it? As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly saw a strange vegetable growing on the edge of the vegetable patch. So he asked, "What kind of dish is this?" The leaves are a bit like lotus leaves, can you eat them? ”

Qiu Mo looked at the area that Zhang Xiaohua said and said, "Those are taro, you can't eat them raw." ”

"Taro? So taro looks like this? Pluck, pluck a few more, I like to eat taro. Zhang Xiaohua said.

"Xiaohua, taro can't be eaten raw, let's just eat radish!" Qiu Mo said disapprovingly.

"Who said I was going to eat it raw? Ah! Just listen to me! ”

"But... But......! ”

"Huh...? Mommy ......"

Hearing that Zhang Xiaohua was about to call him a mother-in-law again, Qiu Mo hurriedly covered his mouth and compromised: "Okay! ”

"That's pretty much it. I'll get my stuff to the river later, and I'll get some dry firewood. Zhang Xiaohua said that she was about to leave, but was stopped by Qiu Mo.

"Xiaohua, it's getting late now, so don't run around alone. I'll be well soon, and I'll look for firewood when I'm well. ”

Zhang Xiaohua paused, and looked into the deep mountains, which were dark and oppressive, as if they were a dark abyss. She thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay then! Hurry up, I'm really hungry. ”

"Oh, okay."

Hearing Zhang Xiaohua shouting that he was hungry again, Qiu Mo hurriedly sped up his speed, and at the same time dug a few more taro.

Although he knew that if Hu Qiuxia knew what they did today, he would definitely punish them viciously, but there was no way to do it. He can bear to be hungry, but he can't let Zhang Xiaohua go hungry with him.

Qiu Mo plucked the radish and took it to the river to put it away, and he was about to go into the mountains to find firewood. Zhang Xiaohua didn't worry about him alone, and finally went into the mountains with him.

Today is half a moon, and you can still see the road in the moonlight outside, but in the mountains it is much darker.

Eventually, though, they found a lot of dry firewood.

Zhang Xiaohua washed the radishes, taro and vegetable leaves and put them on the stones. Then he found a large, flat stone and erected it on the bank of the river, and set a fire under the stone.

They don't have pots, all she can think of is barbecue.

"Xiaohua, what are you doing again?" Qiu Mo squatted next to him and asked.

After the fire was lit, the surroundings became much brighter, and the firelight was imprinted on Qiu Mo's face, making his face look red.

I saw him looking at Zhang Xiaohua innocently, like an ignorant child, with a persistent enthusiasm for all new things.

"I'm making a barbecue! You just have to wait and eat. As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohua took out a clay pot the size of an ordinary bowl from her sleeve.

Seeing this, Qiu Mo was shocked again and was ready to ask.

But this time, without waiting for Qiu Mo to speak, Zhang Xiaohua said directly: "That's right, this clay pot is your salt pot, but the salt in it is almost used up, so I took it out along with the jar." ”

"This... You, you, ......! Qiu Mo was so frightened that he was incoherent.

They came out to steal vegetables to eat, as long as they were not discovered, they might still be confused, but now Zhang Xiaohua even took out the salt shaker at home, which is worth it!

"Xiaohua, if my mother knows that we will definitely punish us for stealing the salt shaker, let's hurry up and return it!"

"What are you afraid of, not only did I take salt, I also took oil! You see. Saying that, Zhang Xiaohua opened the salt tank, but she didn't expect that the salt tank was still filled with oil.

This frightened Qiu Mo. I thought I would just have to return the salt shaker. But now it seems that even if the salt shaker is put back, it will definitely be discovered.

Looking at Qiu Mo, who was scared stupidly, Zhang Xiaohua didn't care, and said, "Can you not be so afraid of your mother!" Even you are so afraid of your mother, so how can you protect me! I'm counting on you to be my bodyguard! ”

"I... I'll protect you. Qiu Mo hurriedly said, his attitude was surprisingly serious, like making a promise to Zhang Xiaohua.

"You can't even deal with your mother, how can you protect me! Really. "I can't even guarantee the most basic three meals a day, is this life a human life?

While talking to Qiu Mo, Zhang Xiaohua had already put the clay pot filled with salt and oil on the stone surface and heated it.

After the salt melted, it was completely fused with the oil, and Zhang Xiaohua took out two more vegetable leaves and rolled them together as a brush. Then I brushed a layer of oil on the stone surface and began to test the taro and vegetable leaves.

"My mother is an elder, I should be obedient, and I can't be disrespectful to her." After a long time, Qiu Mo seemed to have just found a response to Zhang Xiaohua's words, and said helplessly.
