Chapter 4 Entering the Mountains to Prepare Winter Food
In my impression, this man is useless to the extreme.
If it weren't for his uselessness, the original owner wouldn't have been able to eat a grain of rice for three days.
and not starve.
As for the two younger sisters, they have become big-headed dolls, and let them learn to be patient, why?
"Qiqi, there are some things, my father doesn't know how to explain it to you, but you remember, in this life, you have to honor your grandma, what your grandma said is right, when you have money, whatever your grandma wants to eat, you have to buy it for her!"
Xia Duofu painstakingly instilled in Xia Qiqi the idea of 'respecting the elderly'.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking instilled by Xia Duofu all this time that Xia Qiqi would rather starve to death than dare to embarrass Mrs. Xia.
"Sorry, it can't be done! aren't good to me, and I won't honor her!
Even if I get ahead in the future, my money will only be used to honor what is good to me, even if that person is not related to me at all! ”
Xia Qiqi said it very bluntly.
Xia Duofu was a little angry when he heard this.
originally wanted to say something, but Yu Guixiang pulled his arm.
"Don't say it, my daughter came back from the dead, and she probably still has anger in her heart, you go into the house and rest, I'll cook!"
"The meal is ready!" Xia Qiqi said.
Yu Guixiang's face suddenly had a little more surprised look.
She led the first stove room.
Looking at the bamboo back basket, there was still most of the mustard greens left, and in the pot, the mustard soup that had just been heated up, my eyes were moist all of a sudden!
Xia Qiqi followed into the stove room, and as soon as she came in, she saw Yu Guixiang wiping her tears there.
She didn't feel good at the bottom of her heart.
But she didn't cry!
This family has become like this, if she is not strong, what will she do to fulfill the promise she made to the original owner?
"Mother, tell Hua'er and Duo'er to come in for dinner, and ...... Father! ”
Xia Duofu's temperament, Xia Qiqi doesn't like it very much, but in the end, it is the father of this body.
The original owner has too much attachment to this father.
Even if it is her, she can't exclude Chardofo, otherwise this family will not be complete.
The only way is to slowly adjust and let this mom boy slowly become a man who stands up to the sky and cares about his wife and children!
Yu Guixiang wiped her tears and went out to call her man and two daughters who had been hungry for a long time.
Hearing that there was something to eat, Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo rushed into the stove room.
Seeing the steaming soup in the big iron pot, Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo's saliva flowed out.
Especially Xia Xiaoduo, she is wearing the same thin clothes as Xia Qiqi, and on a late autumn day, she is a pair of bare feet, stepping on the cold ground.
Her face was flushed with cold, and on the right cheek, there was an obvious five-finger print, which was made by Xia Duofu.
Xia Qiqi knew how much it hurt just by looking at it.
"Eldest sister, I'm hungry ......" Xia Xiaoduo opened her mouth and shouted.
As he spoke, he heard a piercing grunt in Xia Xiaoduo's belly, which was a sound that could only be made when she was in a state of severe hunger.
Xia Qiqiqiang held back the bitterness, touched an open-minded bowl in the cupboard, and gave half a bowl of mustard soup to Xia Xiaoduo.
Xia Xiaoduo held the bowl, took a sip, and poured the soup into her stomach, not caring about the soup being hot, let alone anything else, Xia Xiaoduo held the bowl and kept shouting: "Yet, ......"
Xia Xiaohua, who was on the side, saw that her sister had already drunk a bowl of wild vegetable soup, and she couldn't help it for a long time.
Regardless of the matter, she picked up the big spoon for the soup, scooped it violently, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Even if she screamed hot, she swallowed the spoonful of wild vegetable soup stiffly.
Xia Qiqi didn't scold her two younger sisters, because she knew that if she wasn't extremely hungry, people wouldn't be like this.
The four rooms of the Xia family are too bitter......
If it weren't for this pot of wild vegetable soup, probably ...... This family won't survive tonight!
Xia Xiaoduo drank three bowls of wild vegetable soup, her stomach was like a ball, and she refused to stop.
Hungry and afraid, she would rather die than starve.
Xia Qiqi sensed that something was wrong and hugged Xia Xiaoduo.
"Duo'er, I can't eat it, that's enough, the eldest sister will go up the mountain again tomorrow to see if she can catch some prey and come back."
Don't worry, the eldest sister is here, she won't let you go hungry, don't eat! ”
Yu Guixiang also came over to take Xia Xiaoduo's bowl, and with the joint efforts of the two of them, they finally snatched the bowl from Xia Xiaoduo's hands.
On the other hand, Xia Xiaohua's situation is not much better.
The belly of the plug was round, and the vomiting did not stop, and it refused to stop.
Xia Qiqi finally couldn't hold back, hugged his two younger sisters and cried.
Xia Qiqi has never been a fragile person, she dares to walk all kinds of mountains alone, she dares to be alone, facing the flood beasts.
The only thing she can't stand is that the two sisters in front of her, who have been her for less than a day, have become like this because of hunger.
After Xia Qiqi cried, Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo finally returned to normal, or rather, they no longer thought about eating desperately and filling their stomachs.
Instead, he hugged Xia Qiqi and cried together.
Yu Guixiang wiped her tears beside her, but she still didn't hold the child and cry together.
By the time Chardorfo entered the kitchen, several people had stopped crying.
Xia Qiqi took her two younger sisters into the house to sleep.
It was too cold, and in the evening, the cold was even heavier.
Xia Qiqi calculated, and tomorrow, she would go into the mountains again, get more wild vegetables, and if she could hunt hares and pheasants, she would bring them back.
Then find a way for the family to prepare a padded jacket for the winter.
This night, Xia Qiqi slept extremely uneasy, and the next morning, the rooster had just crowed.
Xia Qiqi got up, and there were a lot of things to prepare to enter the mountain.
And she had to fill her belly, only when she smeared into the stove and lit the fire in the stove, ready to cook another pot of wild vegetable soup.
The bamboo basket was empty.
Last night, the remaining small basket of wild vegetables was gone.
It is impossible for wild vegetables to be hidden, there is only one bedroom in the four rooms, and the beds Xia Duofu and Yu Guixiang are asleep.
Xia Qiqi took her two younger sisters and slept on the haystack in the corner.
She didn't see mustard greens in the room.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the stove creaked open.
Yu Guixiang walked in from the house, she saw Xia Qiqi getting up, she was stunned at first, and then said, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
"Mother, wild vegetables?" Xia Qiqi asked.
"Your father thinks the wild vegetables we ate yesterday taste good, so he will give you milk, so that your milk can also taste it!"
Yu Guixiang's words instantly sent Xia Qiqi into the eighteenth layer of hell.
"Why is he touching my things?"
For this cheap father, if he just stayed away from it before, then now, Xia Qiqi has a little more resentment.
Can't he see so many mouths in the house, waiting to eat?
Can't he see that Yu Guixiang is still pregnant with a child in her belly?
Did he want the whole family to die together to be happy?
Seeing that Xia Qiqi was emotional, Yu Guixiang tried to explain for the man: "Your father said that since you can pick so many wild vegetables, you will definitely be able to pick more today, so ......"
