Qiubai went down to the cellar and took out the only potato inside, rinsed the soil on it with clean water, cut it into small pieces, and poured it into boiling water with the chopped wild vegetables.

"Sister, I'm so hungry...... When will potatoes be eaten? Qiu Doudou squatted by the stove and asked pitifully.

Qiu Ling took a branch and turned over the firewood in the stove to make the fire burn stronger, "Where is it so fast, I haven't eaten for two days, and you're hungry!" ”

Qiu Doudou was choked by Qiu Ling like this, and he was very aggrieved in his heart, and after rolling his eyes at her, he stopped talking and moved to the side to draw circles.

Qiu Baijing watched the two of them arguing, her brows furrowed tightly, and her face looked constipated.

As soon as Qiu Ling looked up and saw Qiu Bai's expression so ugly, her heart was empty, "I didn't quarrel with her, I just spoke a little louder......"

"Alas~" Qiu Bai ignored Qiu Ling's words, and only sighed faintly.

Qiu Ling glanced at Qiu Bai cautiously, saw that she frowned and pondered, and did not dare to speak, silently lowered her head and added firewood to the stove.

However, after a stick of incense, the potatoes are boiled into a yellow paste, and the black wild vegetables make people lose the slightest appetite.

Qiu Doudou, who was squatting in the corner of the wall and drawing circles, always paid attention to the potatoes in the pot, and when he saw Qiu Bai uncovering the lid of the pot, he roared and roared, "It's boiled, it's cooked!" It smells so good! ”

Qiu Ling also threw down the firewood in his hand and looked into the pot excitedly.

"Well, you can eat it, go and call Xiaobao." Qiu Bai picked up the white porcelain bowl on the stove and said while filling it with potato paste.

"Okay!" Qiu Doudou cheered and ran towards the bedroom.

Qiu Bai and Qiu Ling each took two bowls of potato paste and put them on the small wooden table. Qiu Ling ran to the stove again and took three pairs of chopsticks and a wooden spoon.

"Sister, chopsticks." Qiu Bai took the chopsticks handed by Qiu Ling.

At this time, Qiu Doudou and Qiu Xiaobao walked in, sat down and started eating.

Qiu Ling had already eaten it, and the bowl full of potato paste had already bottomed out, "Huh? Big sister, why don't you eat it? She asked suspiciously, licking the soup from the corner of her mouth.

Qiubai stretched out his thin hand and took a sip of the bowl, but he didn't know if it was astringent or bitter, it was hard to drink anyway, and he couldn't swallow it anymore after taking a sip.

She put down the bowl and pushed it in the middle, "You guys divide it." ”

Qiu Ling's eyes instantly wet when she heard this, and she choked up, "Eldest sister...... We're all full, so eat some too, and you're going to faint from hunger like you did last time...... We...... We ......"

Qiu Doudou's hand that was originally stretched out to the porcelain bowl immediately retracted, and echoed: "Yes, eldest sister...... but her eyes were firmly fixed on the tempting potato paste in the bowl, and her saliva couldn't stop swallowing.

Qiu Xiaobao was less than two years old, and only looked at Qiu Bai and Qiu Ling ignorantly.

When Qiu Bai heard Qiu Doudou say the words "faint from hunger", his face turned dark, and his eyes flashed fiercely.

Qiu Ling is usually afraid and loves Qiu Bai, the reason why she is afraid is because she is always very strict, especially after her mother is gone, the reason why she loves is because she always leaves the best things for them, especially after the locust plague, as soon as there is food, she leaves them with food, and finally faints from hunger.

Seeing that Qiubai's face was not good-looking, she was afraid, but she was even more worried, "Eldest sister, I don't know when my father will come back, and my mother is gone, we don't even have any relatives in this Qingshui Village, if it were you...... What are we going to do......" said with tears in his eyes.

Qiu Bai couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart when he heard this, this Qiu family sister and brother are also unlucky, but ...... Even more unlucky is her!

She was originally sitting on the side of the road and happily eating barbecue with the male god she had been secretly in love with for many years, but she was hit by a truck, and when she woke up, she was at Qiu's house, and her handsome male god didn't know what it was like.

Originally, she was twenty-five years old, but she actually wore it on a twelve-year-old girl, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Qiu's father is the only carpenter in Qingshui Village, because of his good craftsmanship, the villagers in the neighboring villages will also come to him to make furniture, so the Qiu family saved a little money, and the life is quite nourishing.

It's a pity that Qiu's father was forcibly conscripted into the army when Qiu's mother was five months pregnant, and the family has no financial resources since then.

However, the money that Qiu's father saved before was enough for the Qiu family to live for five or six years, plus Qiu's mother did some farm work or something, but she could get by.

But when people are unlucky, they really stuff their teeth with saliva.

Qiu's mother fell ill when she gave birth to Qiu Xiaobao, and the family's savings were almost used in just half a year, but her body was not good, but she was even weaker.

Seeing this, Qiu's mother no longer took medicine, but in half a month, Qiu's mother died.

At that time, Qiu Xiaobao was less than a year old, Qiu Ling was just eight years old, and Qiu Doudou was just five years old.

As the eldest sister, Qiu Bai took on the burden of supporting the family, and went out to work every day, and the young Qiu Xiaobao was handed over to Qiu Ling and Qiu Doudou to take care of.

As the so-called house leak, there must be overnight rain.

Just four months ago, the already painful crops suffered by drought were eaten clean by a sudden wave of locusts, leaving no grass behind.

Fortunately, every household has a cellar, and the cellar is stocked with some food, which can last a few days.

A month ago, a heavy rainstorm suddenly fell, and it took three days at a time, and after the rain stopped, the green slowly spread out and some wild grass and wild vegetables grew.

Qinghe Village said that it was not big, but it was not small, and every household had no grain in stock, and those wild grasses and wild vegetables were pinched clean by the villagers just after they appeared.

Qiubai is young and weak, so he can't rob those adults, and every time he goes out for a day, he can only bring back a few wild vegetables, and boil half a pot of water into wild vegetable soup, and he is reluctant to drink it all left to his sister and younger brother, and he is really hungry and panicked, so he goes to gnaw on the bark and eat mud.

A day ago, Qiubai went out to look for food before dawn, she dug and dug around, and found a fist-sized potato, she didn't look for any wild vegetables, and ran home with potatoes.

Maybe the body was too weak, and the emotions at that time were too excited, and as soon as I got home, I took out the potatoes and fell to the ground.

Qiu Ling and Qiu Doudou hurriedly got her to the bed, probed her snort and breath, and only thought she had fainted.

However, they will never know that their selfless and great sister has already entered the Netherworld......

Qiu Bai sighed with great emotion, took back the porcelain bowl and drank up the potato paste.

Qiu Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, "Eldest sister, you rest at home today, and I'll go out to find something to eat." ”

Qiu Doudou nodded absentmindedly, "Mm-hmm." ”

Qiu Bai looked at the thin Qiu Ling, and a trace of pity crossed his heart, "...... Stay at home and I'll go out. ”

Qiu Ling wanted to say more, Qiu Bai had already gotten up and walked out of the kitchen, and Qiu Ling hurriedly followed.

Qiu Doudou thief glanced out of the door awkwardly, and saw Qiu Ling talking to Qiu Bai with a back basket, so he retracted his gaze with confidence, and quickly took Qiu Bai's bowl and licked the potato residue soup inside.

When she put down the bowl with satisfaction, she saw Qiu Xiaobao looking at herself, and she was embarrassed for a moment and immediately put on a Shura face, "Look at what!" Remember, don't tell your sisters, or you'll ......."

Qiu Xiaobao is young, and he doesn't understand Qiu Doudou's evil words and threats very well, so he only blinks and looks at Qiu Doudou with big eyes.

Qiu Doudou was deflated, "Good Xiaobao, you can't tell your sisters about my sister licking the bowl just now, as long as you are good, can my sister buy you a sugar gourd?" ”
