"Auntie, Auntie, look at it, what do you see we dug up?"

Before he walked into the door, Wen Zheng couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted loudly.

He ran in a smoke, didn't know where to catch Aunt Wang, and ran out all the way.

Aunt Wang was pulled by him and staggered, and shouted again and again: "Slow down, you slow down." ”

Fortunately, Aunt Wang was also born in a poor family and did not bind her feet when she was young, otherwise she would have at least half her life if she ran down this way.

Wen Zheng ran out and hurried to pick up the straw on the pick.

Zhu Chongba hurriedly stepped forward, slapped the top of his brain, pushed Wen Zheng out three or five steps away, and shouted in a low voice: "You loser thing has wealth and doesn't show it, you don't understand this truth, what are you shouting about?" Hurry up and get in! ”

Wen Zheng touched his head and didn't even smile, but he didn't want to, so he turned around and pulled Aunt Wang and ran into the house again.

Aunt Wang was a little dizzy when she pulled her around, and hurriedly opened his hand and said in a loud voice: "What are you guys yelling for, are you picking up money on the road?" ”

Zhu Chongba walked into the house quickly, and said with a low smile: "Sister-in-law, please take a look, and you have picked up money, who is rare to pick up that thing, and now there is no use for this thing if you have money these years." ”

Qi Shan followed behind the two of them and walked home step by step with his hands behind his back, seeing that the three of them were in a mess, he didn't say anything while standing next to him, just smiled faintly.

Since he has replaced the identity of others, he has to do some personnel more or less, and seeing that the three of them are harmonious and happy, Qi Shan feels that his arrangement is not in vain.

Aunt Wang was also curious by what the two said, stepped forward, reached out and lifted the straw on the pick, only glanced inside, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's ...... food"

Before he could say the word, he was covered back by a hand.

The Song and Yuan dynasties experienced more than 1,000 famines, and from the year Wang Damiang was born, her ears were filled with the word grain, and her heart and mind were all about filling her stomach.

Unfamiliarity with other things, the shape and taste of food, all recurring in those dreams.

Aunt Wang was excited, and she gasped for a while before she calmed down.

I went to look at the grain that was picking up the front and back, and then at the bag of voles, although I didn't know what was going on, but my face was already happy.

"Where did this come from?"

Aunt Wang forcibly pressed her excitement and asked tremblingly.

Wen Zheng's chin was about to tilt to the sky, and he wiped his nose arrogantly: "This is all taken by the second uncle to catch us!" ”

Aunt Wang looked up at Qi Shan: "Second uncle? ”

Qi Shan smiled lightly and shook his head: "No matter how you got here, we have food to eat tonight." Sister-in-law, you take the fourth child to put away the grain, wait a while to cook and kill all the voles, today we have a solid meal. ”

"Good!"

Aunt Wang nodded again and again, pulled Wen Zheng and walked back: "Come to Wen Zheng and talk to Auntie." ”

Wen Zheng couldn't help but show off a long time ago, the eldest lady asked, and hurriedly talked about this morning's legendary experience while making a gesture.

Zhu Chongba also had a smile on his face, and his innocent appearance made his ugly face a little rounder.

Qi Shan shook his head and walked around the room.

He also needed to find some tools to give him an excuse for his next move.

No matter what era you want to succeed, it is nothing more than two words, one is money, and the other is power.

Money represents abundant materials, and power represents a large number of people.

This is not a problem for Qi Shan.

All he needed now was an excuse to put those resources out of the way reasonably and legally.

Wandering to the back, Qi Shan suddenly found a wooden steamer, and next to it was a stone mill with a large mouth missing.

He took a closer look, and there were specks of scum on the mill.

"This is soybeans?"

Looking at the pile of tattered wood next to him, Qi Shan thought thoughtfully.

It was Zhu Chongba who walked out slowly, his cheeks bulging and muttering, "Second brother, this thing called sweet potato is really delicious, fragrant and sweet." ”

Qi Shan rolled his eyes: "I know how to eat, come and see where this thing came from?" ”

Zhu Chongba took another bite of the sweet potato in his hand, and said vaguely: "Oh, I went to the house next door to loot it, their family is not extinct, many things have been robbed, and when I went, there were only these broken woods left, so I took them all back, and prepared to keep them for my sister-in-law to use for the fire!" ”

Qi Shan looked at it with strange eyes: "You kid doesn't do good things all day long, I didn't expect to get some good things back, this is a tofu guy's business, but it's a little shabby!"

After a while, you can go out and take a look around to see if there are any carpenters and stonemasons in the village, and rest these things. Maybe it will be useful in the future! ”

Zhu Chongba scratched his head: "The carpenter and stonemason don't know, but Zhou Dexing's kid seems to know both hands." I'll call him in the evening and ask. ”

Qi Shan was a little surprised: "I remember that there are several boys around you who are fighting together, if my idea can be successful, maybe some people will be needed."

Look at it and say hello and prepare in advance. ”

Zhu Chongba didn't ask anything, and nodded directly: "That's okay, I know." ”

After speaking, he said with a hippie smile: "Second brother, why don't we go to the mountains tomorrow to catch voles, this thing is too fat!" ”

"I still need to say it!" Qi Shan kicked him angrily. "Don't steal food there, give me a hand, pick out these useful tools, brush them clean, maybe you will use them in two days!"

"Okay! Second brother, don't move, I'm here! ”

Saying that, Zhu Chongba stuffed the remaining sweet potato into his mouth, his mouth bulged like a toad, stepped forward and grabbed the stone grinder, carried it on his shoulders twice, and strode towards the river.

Qi Shan was so cool in his heart, he didn't dare to reply when he saw Lao Tzu kicking the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Shan didn't watch the excitement from the side, and took a few wooden tools to follow.

The two of them walked to the creek, and after simply washing these things, the meal on Aunt Wang's side was ready.

The family of four sat around a small square table behind closed doors, the smell of the smell reaching into their nostrils.

Everyone can put red sorghum rice in a black pottery bowl, the size of a human head.

In the casserole in the middle, vole meat is rotten and exuding charming temptation.

Zhu Chongba couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks and was slapped on the hand by Aunt Wang.

"Tell the second uncle to eat first!"

Zhu Chongba is the fourth, the eldest brother is more than ten years apart from him, and he is said to be a brother, but in fact, he is half a mother and sister-in-law.

It's not too much to say that he was brought up from a young age.

Qi Shan didn't care about this, and raised his chopsticks and put a vole leg in the bowl.

"Eat, everybody! Let's have a full meal tonight! ”

The three nodded vigorously.

Qi Shan picked up the bowl to make it look like he was chopping rice, but he didn't actually put the sorghum rice into his mouth.

Instead, it was stored in a container in the carry-on space.

Although this is already a rare delicacy, it is still an unpalatable existence for Qi Shan.

He's better to be patient for the time being, and go back to eating.

After eating the bark grass roots for several months, the oil and water in the stomach have long been scraped clean.

Even Wen Zheng, a little bit, is gobbling it up.

Seeing a pot of sorghum rice falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, Qi Shan smiled and dialed the rice in his bowl to him from time to time.

Then pretended to eat a few bites, turned his head and dialed some more to Zhu Chongba.

Aunt Wang saw it in her eyes, and her heart was full of relief.

When the family encountered a catastrophe, I thought that there was no way out, but I didn't expect that the peaks and loops would turn around, and the family would have a pillar again.

She had already made up her mind before, she wanted to take Wen Zheng back to her parents' house, even if she had no face and suffered cold eyes every day, in order to survive, he endured it.

Two nights ago, I secretly cried for this, but who knew that today there is sorghum rice to eat at home.

The second child has mastered the technique of catching voles, and maybe he will survive this famine year.

The family of four had a full meal, and everyone let out a sigh of relief and collapsed in front of the table.

Zhu Chongba touched his stomach and burped, smelled the aroma of rice, and clicked his lips.

The few tableware in front of me are already oily and smooth, and they are clean enough to be used as mirrors.

This kind of protective happiness flowed in the hearts of the three of them, making them reminisce for a long time and be full of reluctance.

Aunt Wang has begun to recall, when was the last time she ate so full?

Several people did not speak, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

After a long while, Qi Shan said: "Sister-in-law, hide the grain well, don't be seen by outsiders." After a while, you look for any worn clothes in the house, and they are torn open and made into pockets. It doesn't take too much, three or five are enough. ”

Aunt Wang nodded heavily: "Second uncle, don't worry, there are no other worn-out clothes in the house, there are still some, I'll go!" ”

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the back room, and brought down several large bowls with his hands.

Wen Zheng stood up and opened the doors and windows, letting in the wind outside, blowing away the aroma of sorghum rice.

Qi Shan instructed: "Wenzheng, you go out to find it in a while, where is the dry straw, report more, and when you come back, you can't get more tomorrow." ”

Wen Zheng nodded vigorously.

He can be regarded as an eye-opener today, this second uncle can't see it quietly on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be so capable.

He couldn't help but fantasize that if he could learn the craft of his second uncle, he could take a bag around the mountains every day with a bag, and casually light a bunch of smoke to harvest a bag of voles.

If you can live a life of eating meat every day, then you will be happy to heaven.

"Fourth, you go to Zhou Dexing in a while, let him come over and see how those tools are repaired, and by the way, tell him about going up the mountain tomorrow!"

Zhu Chongba was surprised: "Second brother really wants to take him?" ”

"It's such a big place in the village, and the rice that is high every day in our house will be known to others sooner or later.

Instead of facing the whole village to grab voles with us at that time, we will pull a group of people to occupy the mountain now. You tell me? ”

Qi Shan looked at Zhu Chongba meaningfully.
