Chapter 38 Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Paner got up, and without alarming a few younger siblings, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After taking the water and preparing to put the rice in the pot, Liu Yuanshan had already walked into the kitchen.
"Eldest sister, why do you get up so early." No one said anything, but went straight to the stove and helped light the fire.
"I'll get up early and cook a meal, and you'll go to the pharmacy when you're full...... I didn't think you would get up so early, you should have slept a little longer. Liu Paner felt sorry for him.
"I can't sleep well when I have something in my heart, I woke up and heard the movement, so I got up, I'll help you do it together, and the two of you should hurry up." The two of them are the eldest in the family, and the bottom three are still young, so they can't count on anything, and they will all rely on them to support the family in the future.
"It's fine." Liu Pan'er nodded, put the rice in the pot, then wiped the handle, and opened the cabinet to scoop the flour, only to see that the flour was almost bottoming out, and the expression on her face couldn't help but darken.
The food of the Liu family has always been excellent, white rice and white noodles are often eaten at home, but now that the family situation has changed, I am afraid that these things will not be eaten often in the future.
"Aren't you cooking porridge, why do you have to knead dough again?" Liu Yuanshan asked suspiciously.
"If you want to go out, I'll make two cakes, and you can take them to eat on the way." Liu Pan'er replied, but it was obvious that her mood had been lowered.
The white rice and white flour at home are about to bottom out, and then buy grain, you must not be as lavish as before, you can only buy some coarse grains back to eat, save some to survive more days, if there is no more input, the life of the family is afraid that it will be difficult.
With such a heavy burden pressed, how could she be happy.
"Thank you, sister, but it's not much away, I'll be able to come back soon, and I won't have to do it next time." Having said this, he couldn't help but pause, when he pulled the weeds yesterday, it was called a full of energy, but when it came to the time when he wanted to sell it in the pharmacy, he didn't have a reason to be weak for a while, can this really be sold? So maybe there's no next time that won't be next time.
"When you're growing, you can't stand hunger." Liu Pan'er said a word, then lowered her eyes, and said for a while: "There is not much food at home, I will give you some money in a while, and you can buy some back, but this grain can't be bought like before......"
Speaking of these, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, when her father and mother were there, how could she worry about these family affairs, but now she has to support this family and live a careful life.
After explaining it carefully, she stopped after making sure that Liu Yuanshan remembered everything.
The look on Liu Yuanshan's face was not very good, in order to save money, the eldest sister only bought coarse grains to eat, indicating that the living standard of the family had plummeted, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Sister, why don't I still go into the mountains to hunt, although I can't compare to Daddy's ability, I can always hunt some wild things for silver." Liu Yuanshan said.
"Don't mention this in the future, no one with such a skill as Daddy can ...... You're still young, and I won't agree with you going into the mountains. Liu Paner refused.
"Sister, I'll be careful, we don't have any other ability to make money, so I'm most familiar with it in the mountains......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Paner: "It's not time to eat yet, although your eldest sister has no ability, she can make some embroidery to make money, but she can't let you fight with your life." ”
"That'...... You're not going to let me into the mountains anymore? Liu Yuanshan opened his mouth and asked.
"You still want to go into the mountains...... Then learn the skills that your father taught you, and when you learn the skills, I will allow you to enter the mountain. Liu Pan'er listened to him vigorously carry into the mountain, and was a little angry, but after a little thought, he came up with such an idea.
The mountains are dangerous, she specified that she could not let him go into the mountains again, but this child is also a character who does not admit defeat, she does not let it, and the designation will sneak away, which makes people unguardable.
Liu Yuanshan listened to her relent, and immediately became energetic, Daddy told him before, where to get up if he fell there, they fell in the mountains, he specified that he would find it back, and then he must beat all the wolves in the mountain to avenge Daddy, but Grandma's words are also right, he must learn the skills taught by Daddy well, so as to be foolproof.
"Sister, don't worry, I will practice diligently every day in the future, and I will definitely practice all the skills that Daddy taught me."
"Okay." Liu Pan'er nodded at him, and after retracting her gaze, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Eldest sister, second brother, you get up so early?" Du Danshen rubbed his eyes and walked over.
"Salvia is awake!" Liu Paner washed her hands, then took a handkerchief and wet it, her movements were very neat, she wiped it on Du Danshen's face, and then asked: "Why did you get up so early, I was tired after running all day yesterday, let's sleep a little longer." ”
"I didn't have something on my mind, so I woke up when I heard the movement." Du Danshen washed his face, and the person was also refreshed.
Liu Pan'er couldn't help laughing: "Look at the two of you, how big things are, you are all worried about it." After saying that, thinking of herself, she has not been very worried about them these days, but she also understands them.
"What's the use of worrying about it again, we'll have to go to the pharmacy and try it before we know how." Liu Yuanshan was a little bored, expecting the herbs to sell for money, but in fact, these were very common weeds, and he didn't dare to really expect to make money.
"Second brother, if you take me with you, I promise to keep up with you and never lag behind!" She said, holding up a small hand.
"What are you doing with you, you can't help much, I still have to take care of you not to get lost." Liu Yuanshan didn't want to take her, after all, there were a lot of herbs, and he couldn't carry Du Danshen if he resisted those.
"Why can't it help, these herbs are too common, if people don't accept them, we can ask the pharmacy guys, what kind of medicinal materials they receive, let's take a look at the shop, in this way, don't you know what herbs to sell next time!" When you go to the bookstore, it's better to go directly to the pharmacy and ask directly.
They had really thought about it before.
"Hey, that's a good idea." Liu Yuanshan pinched his chin and nodded vigorously, and then said to her: "Yes, the brain is really flexible, I have written down this matter, and I will ask the pharmacy guy when the time comes, but you, you still can't go with you, I may not be able to take care of you at that time, if I lose you, where will I find someone, so you still stay at home." ”
Du Danshen raised his eyes and glared at him, this is really crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!
