Chapter 7: Palpitations

Chi Xin and Chi Hao had lingering palpitations about the beating yesterday, and looked at the eldest lady without speaking.

Seeing that he couldn't grab it, Qiao grinded his teeth: "You little rabbit cubs who pick the door, wait for me." ”

She turned her head and entered the door, but she actually found Grandma Chi, and mocked in a weird manner: "Mother, this Zhou family is really good at teaching children, look at these little cubs, they have learned to hide their secrets when they get delicious food, I just want to bring some back for you to try, so I protect it like something, and I don't know how much food I ate in our family before." ”

The old lady is much stronger than Qiao's, and when she heard Qiao's say that sugarcane can be eaten, she has to rob it openly: "You can't eat so much, what are you doing?" Bring it to me! ”

Chi Xin took a step back with Chi Hao in her arms, and was about to pull Chi Yue, but saw her suddenly throw the sugarcane to the ground, sit on the sugarcane and hold the old lady's leg and start crying: "Grandma, please let us go!" We have nothing to eat at home, my mother was beaten by you yesterday, and she is a lot sicker, if the sugarcane in this stomach is robbed, how can our family live? ”

Chi Yue howled and made a big deal about it, and after a while, many villagers gathered around, pointing at the old lady, mostly saying that she was ruthless.

The old lady was so angry that she wanted to hit her: "You dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"Sister didn't talk nonsense, you almost beat the second sister to death yesterday!" Chi Hao broke free of Chi Xin, ran to Chi Yue's side, pulled up the sleeves of the two, revealing their scarred arms, and complained to everyone: "They didn't give us food, and they beat us!" And now we have to rob our sugarcane......"

As soon as he squatted down, a lot of mushrooms spilled out of the basket.

Seeing this situation, the sharp-eyed villagers couldn't help but feel pity for their family: "What a pity! The children were so hungry that they had to pick poisonous mushrooms...... Mrs. Chi, you can't eat this wild sugarcane, and your grandson is so pitiful that he picks poisonous mushrooms and wild sugarcane, how can you bear to rob them of their life-saving things? ”

"It's just, it's too ruthless!"

"Orphans and widows, Zhou's is sick again, it's not easy for a few children, just forget if you don't take care of them, why are you still so vicious?"

They are all neighbors, and when they look up and don't look down, the eldest mother and Grandma Chi were squeezed like this, and they suddenly felt embarrassed, glared at the Chi Yue sisters and brothers, turned around and fled.

Chi Yue touched a handful of tears, pulled her younger brother to stand up and gave credit to the villagers: "Thank you for your help, thank you." ”

Some villagers kindly reminded them: "This mushroom is poisonous, and sugar cane cannot be eaten." ”

Chi Yue thought about it, sooner or later, the matter of mushrooms and sugarcane could not be hidden, so it was better to take the lead in telling everyone how to eat these two foods now, and it could also establish a people-friendly image and win everyone's favor.

"Actually, it's edible." Chi Yue patted his younger brother's head, Chi Hao blinked his eyes, bit the sugarcane skin in front of everyone, and began to chew the sugarcane, eating deliciously.

Although Chi Xin didn't understand why her sister wanted to reveal this secret, she had already opened her mouth, and the villagers had just helped them, so she was very grateful, so she took the initiative to tell everyone about the mushroom method.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Chi Yue explained with a smile: "We have already eaten this non-toxic mushroom yesterday, it tastes very good, and it is okay today, you can go back and try it." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, and they all said that they wanted to go back and try it.

Chi Hao sighed in hindsight: "If everyone goes to cut the sugarcane, will it be done soon?" So what will we eat then? ”

Seeing that everyone was scattered, Chi Yue smiled comfortingly, and said to Chi Xin: "Sister, after dinner today, let's harvest more shoes and sugarcane, come back to squeeze juice, and boil sugar...... If you can make brown sugar, you can sell it for money. ”

She looked at Chi Hao and said with a smile: "If you sell the money, you can buy seeds and food, so we won't be afraid of running out of food, right?" ”

Ji Hao thought for a while and nodded: "Money can buy anything, but ...... Sugar cane boiled sugar...... How to sell for money? ”
