After eating, stuffing two cakes with residual warmth into his arms, Liu Yuanshan casually bundled those herbs into a large haystack, and then carried them on his shoulders, turned his head and said to a few people: "You guys stay at home, I'll leave." ”

"Be careful on the road, and rest when you're tired." Liu Paner explained uneasily.

Liu Yuanshan didn't look back, and strode away.

"It's good to have a lot of strength, and you can walk fast with such a big bundle of haystacks on your shoulders." Liu Pan'er smiled and sighed, and then turned her head to greet her brothers and sisters: "Go back to the house to eat, I only went out for a day yesterday, and I will rest at home today." "Go out with Liu Yuanshan, pack it up and let him eat it first, and the rest are still on an empty stomach.

"I still want to follow my second brother, but unfortunately he won't wait for me." Liu Qing'er lowered her head and sighed, turned around and went back to the house to eat.

Liu Yuanzhi also wanted to follow, but he was two years older and more sensible, so he regretted not being able to follow, but he didn't have a face.

Liu Qing'er climbed onto the table, looked at the porridge in front of her, and frowned: "Sister, why is it so thin, drink it in a bowl, or you will be hungry in a short time." "When I got up early in the morning, I was already a little unenergetic, and I hadn't been able to go out with it, which made people feel depressed.

Liu Pan'er paused and said, "There isn't much food at home, I've already asked your second brother to buy some back today." ”

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time, will the second brother buy meat back?" Liu Qing'er licked her lips and asked.

"Cough, Qing'er, let's ...... now" Liu Pan'er looked embarrassed and made a start, but she didn't know how to continue, her parents were not there, the family had changed a lot, and she couldn't stand it herself, let alone a few small ones.

"Sister Qing'er, didn't we say okay, let's save some food, and like before, I may not have the next meal after eating." Du Danshen said softly.

Liu Qing'er also came back to her senses, and immediately lowered her head and shut up.

Only the careful Liu Paner looked over, and saw her tears rolling in her eyes, and she couldn't fall, which made people feel at a glance that she had unspeakable grievances in her heart, and she didn't dare to look at it anymore after just one glance, for fear that she would not be able to bear it.

After crying a few times, she never cried again, and kept telling herself that she should be brave and strong, support the family, and take care of her younger siblings to grow up.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, when we make money in the future, we will buy meat to eat, buy white noodles to make steamed buns to eat......" Liu Paner coaxed lightly.

Several people didn't speak, and obediently took chopsticks and ate.

A bowl of porridge for one person, already cold, holding the bowl of cooing, a few sips to drink clean, such a bowl with soup and water, soon to be full, but everyone has water, just a full water, or an hour, you will be hungry.

"I do needlework at home, you ......" Liu Paner didn't know how to arrange them.

"When I came back yesterday, Aunt Li asked me to go to her to get some vegetables and come back to eat." Du Danshen looked at Liu Pan'er.

Yesterday was a little late, and they were in a hurry to come back to pull out the herbs, so they didn't go, but they were free today, but they could go, there was no food at home, and naturally there was no food.

In the past, the vegetables were exchanged with people in the village with prey, and a large basket was exchanged for enough to eat for several days, all of which were grown by their own families, and no one would be reluctant to change them, after all, there was not much time to eat meat, and everyone was very happy.

It's just that now they have no prey in their house, and the vegetables at home have been cut off for a while, and the ones who eat the most are only the wild vegetables that are dug up, and the taste of wild vegetables is a little sour and astringent, and they are not as sweet as the vegetables that grow in the ground, but they are also stuttering, for people who have no food to eat, it is also stuttering, but for a few people who have been raised quite well since childhood, it is really not delicious.

Even Du Danshen is disgusted from the bottom of his heart, if the wild vegetables are cooked properly, the taste is naturally not the same, but there is more oil and water, more seasonings to cook, just put some salt and boil it with water, the original taste, it is really unappetizing.

"There is nothing in our family to exchange with others, you have to ask clearly, whether to ask you to go to her house to change, or give it to you for nothing." Liu Paner sighed lightly.

"Aunt Li is very good, knowing the current situation of our family, she must not let me take things to exchange, of course, it is impossible to take too much, maybe give us a few vegetables to eat." The warmth and coldness of the people can be understood very well.

In the past, when their family went to the village, many people greeted them warmly, hoping to exchange the prey for their dishes, the dishes were not valuable, but the meat was a rare good thing, and now when they go to the village, everyone avoids them, and they are afraid that they will open their mouths to ask for this and that, and also make them embarrassed.

"In that case, you can go and thank the people." Liu Pan'er admonished, and then turned her head to look at the other two: "You may not have been to the village for a long time to play, come with salvia!" ”

"Then we don't have to dig up wild vegetables?" Liu Qing'er asked.

When it comes to wild vegetables, Liu Paner also has a bitter face, she doesn't like the taste of wild vegetables, if there is really no food, she can only rely on wild vegetables to satisfy her stomach.

"You don't have to dig today, let's go play for a day, and dig again tomorrow."

Liu Qing'er's face flashed with joy, she is not very old, she didn't do any work before, she went out for a day yesterday, and a few days ago, she also dug some wild vegetables home every day, although the three of them did it together, but they were all not very old, and digging wild vegetables was also laborious, and it would be annoying to work for a few days.

"So we're really going to play?"

"Go ahead!"

"Eldest sister, I'd better stay at home and help you work!" Liu Yuanzhi looked entangled, he wanted to go to the village to play, and he wanted to help the family do something.

"I've done everything that should be done at home, and now I'm in a hurry to do some embroidery, you can't help, go with them, you are the elder brother, watch them, don't fall, don't let people bully." Liu Pan'er looked at him and smiled gently.

"I'll watch them and make sure they don't get bullied." Liu Yuanzhi said with his head held high.

"Well, let's go play!" Liu Pan'er waved at them and sent them out of the door.

When the three of them rarely walked well, they almost trotted all the way to the direction of the village, and after the accident at home, they didn't go out much, nor did they go to the village, it was rare to run out, and the three of them were in a very good mood.

Liu Yuanzhi still remembered Liu Paner's explanation, and shouted vigorously behind the two: "You two run slowly, the road is uneven and you fall carefully." ”

"How many times have we walked this road, we can walk with our eyes closed, how can we fall, third brother, you should run faster."

Among the three, Du Danshen ran the fastest, far ahead.
