Ye Zhifeng didn't understand what they were doing, and excitedly shouted around Wow Wow, and the scene became lively for a while.

The movement here was not small, and finally alarmed the old lady, she walked quickly and quickly, and suddenly became angry when she saw the situation of the scuffle between Su and Aunt Tao.

grabbed a slender wooden stick casually and beckoned to the two of them: "I can stand up to you, you are all full, right?" ”

Aunt Tao jumped away with sharp eyes, and didn't forget to splash dirty water on her mouth: "Old lady, don't you know, their mother was hiding here and stealing food and was hit by me, and after saying a few words about this little scourge, she started beating people!" ”

"What?"

The old lady made a move, she had been in charge of the family for many years, and the most intolerable thing was that someone was stealing chickens and touching dogs, turning her head and staring at Su Shi viciously, and asked, "You dare to steal food?" ”

Su Shi's hair was messy, and he stood in embarrassment: "We didn't steal anything, it's Taoyun's bloody mouth." ”

"Hmph, I clearly saw Qinqing stuffing something into her mouth, don't you believe it tore open her mouth and see?" Aunt Tao snorted angrily against the red marks on her face that were beaten by the water scoop and complained to the old lady.

"Shut up!" How could the old lady not know Aunt Tao's stinky mouth, she moved her eyes to Ye Jingqing on the side, and couldn't hide her disgust at the pitted face: "You say! ”

The disdainful gaze was like a spike, Ye Jingqing was unhappy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth provoked a sarcastic smile: "The old lady is so unconfident in her means of hiding food? ”

"...... Qinqing" Su frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

"My mother saved her rations for us to eat, and it was also in your way? It's not fun that we didn't starve to death, did it~"

"Don't give me these useless mouths!" The old lady raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Now that the Ye family has not made any money, if it weren't for me, the old woman, you would have starved to death, and there is still a chance to say that I am mean here?" ”

Ye Jingqing moved to Ye Zhifeng and Su Shi's side, and said expressionlessly: "How dare you say that you are mean, we haven't starved to death yet." ”

The old lady didn't eat oil and salt, so she knocked the wooden stick on Ye Jingqing's body casually, and her thin body staggered back and almost fell, she could be regarded as seeing her weakness.

"Since you have so much strength, don't eat at noon," glancing around them warningly, the old lady was wrinkled and smiling: "Don't worry, you won't starve to death if you don't eat a meal or two!" ”

Throwing down this sentence, the old lady left without looking back, and Aunt Tao covered her mouth and snickered: "You deserve it!" ”

Su Shi held Ye Jingqing with one hand, her eyes flashed with tears but they did not fall after all, it was useless to cry aggrieved, she had to work hard to let her children gain a foothold.

I'll go, another meal is gone, Ye Jingqing stood in place with his hands on his waist and stared dryly, not to mention oil and water these days, and he didn't even have a full meal.

The old lady is not only hard-hearted and thick-skinned, but also very eccentric. You say that she has no conscience or anything, it is completely useless, and she has experienced decay for many years, and she is not afraid of outsiders saying that she abuses her grandchildren.

Gotta find a way...... Ye Jingqing saw Su Shi go to the busy figure, found a back basket and a sickle in the yard, and went out to dig wild vegetables.

Tianxin Village is not very large, walking along the path, on both sides are scattered farmhouse courtyards.

It has been more than a year since the Ye family moved here, and the neighbors looked at these outsiders with curious eyes at first, and tried to contact them a few times, but found that these people in the city were very arrogant. I thought they were vulgar and didn't get along at all, and gradually, there were fewer contacts.

Now Ye Jingqing is walking on the road, because of her disfigured face, everyone who sees her takes a detour, and some bold bear children also throw small stones at her, calling her ugly.

finally came to the foot of the mountain, Ye Jingqing was already weak in his hands and feet, and he was so hungry that he couldn't do it.

Holding a small scythe all the way to find wild vegetables, it didn't take long to go deep into the forest and harvest a small handful. The people in the village have vegetable plots and are completely self-sufficient, and only their large family who cannot make ends meet eats this bitter and astringent wild vegetable every day.

Ye Jingqing walked with his head down, thinking about how to get rid of those women and live independently with his mother and brother, filling his stomach was the primary problem......

Suddenly, a rather familiar plant jumped into view, and Ye Jingqing looked fixedly, this is ...... Wild kudzu?

Not very sure of his judgment, Ye Jingqing threw down the basket, found a branch and began to dig, not long after plowing the ground, the thick roots were revealed shyly.

Sure enough, it's kudzu! You can eat it!

Ye Jingqing's hungry eyes turned green, and he burst out with infinite power towards the root of the tree, and he quickly dug it out completely.

Carrying it to the creek, I broke a short section and cleaned it and gnawed it directly.

This thing tastes better when cooked, and it has a lot of benefits for the body, but it's not bad raw, but it lacks flavor.

Today's Ye Jingqing doesn't have time to worry about these, and satisfying his appetite is the most important. Bar chirp gnawed a large piece of the palm, a faint sweet smell soaked her limbs, and the whole person was resurrected with blood.

Spread out on the grass and looking up at the sky, Ye Jingqing thought about how to smuggle the wild kudzu back and let Su Shi and Ye Zhifeng, who were also suffering from hunger, also fill their stomachs.

It's just too difficult to do, the wild vegetables in the basket have to be handed in, and she can't hide anything like a little bean, let alone a big guy like kudzu.

Independence is really urgent, Ye Jingqing sighed, got up and put the remaining kudzu in the basket, and began to go home.

Back in the dilapidated courtyard, it was close to lunchtime, and it was bustling inside, the eldest wife Du Shi, her two sons Ye Zhihe and Ye Zhige were all there, as well as Aunt Tao and Ye Furong.

The former eldest and second masters, as the only two sturdy men in the family, seem to be working in the town, and they have not seen it in the past few days.

"Why are you only coming back now?" Du Shi saw Ye Jingqing who had just entered the door, stood up and ordered, "Bring the basket over." ”

Ye Jingqing walked over silently and handed her his harvest, Du Shi looked down at most of the basket of wild vegetables, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Picked so many today?" ”

As soon as he poured the wild vegetables to the ground, the roots of the tree gurgled and rolled out.

Du Shi was stunned for a moment, and casually patted Ye Jingqing's head: "You are not honest at a young age, and you have learned to fill up the numbers indiscriminately." ”

Aunt Tao on the side also looked at this scene, and immediately sneered and took over the conversation: "The mouse's daughter will make holes, and the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked~"

"It's better than you just say it and don't do it, you don't work hard and don't distinguish between the five grains~" Ye Jingjing slammed back expressionlessly.

"I'm too raw to burn this thing as firewood!" Disgusted to kick the roots, Du Shi glanced at her, picked up the wild vegetables and went into the kitchen.

Aren't you a peasant family who don't know wild kudzu? Ye Jingqing wished that they didn't know the goods, so he quickly picked up the roots and left.

At lunchtime, while everyone was eating in the hall, Ye Jingqing brought his wild kudzu to the kitchen. As expected, there was nothing to eat in it, and the old lady controlled the food storage, as if it were a thief.

Ye Jingqing brought a small pot and began to process the hard-won food. Boiled wild kudzu in white water, simple and rude, without even salt.

While waiting, she was not idle, and staggered to the hall and approached the table where they were eating.

These people are really at ease, the rough and heavy work in the fields is all done by the Su family, and they can't find an excuse to prevent her from eating.

"Get out of here! The old lady said you weren't allowed to eat at noon! Ye Furong muttered when she saw her.

"I made a bun today~~" Ye Jingqing glanced at the dining table and copied it coldly.

Picking up the plate and turning back with flexible movements, they didn't expect this hand, and before they could react, the three buns were snatched.

'Smack! The old lady threw her chopsticks and said coldly, "Put it down!" ”

Aunt Tao and Du Shi both covered their mouths in surprise: "Look at this starving ghost reincarnated, actually snatching food in front of the old lady!" ”

"A gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes to him, let alone robbery," the scholar Ye Zhihe said with a condescending expression: "Being so shameless really makes the Ye family lose face, don't put it down quickly!" ”

Ye Jingqing smiled: "The gentleman also pays attention to self-reliance, my mother and I have no food to eat after working all morning, but it is the peace of mind enjoyed by the people who move their mouths, and I don't know who is shameless." ”

Ye Zhihe, who thinks highly of himself, looked disdainful of arguing, shook his sleeves and hummed softly: "As the saying goes, everything is inferior, only if you read well, how can you get out of trouble without my Ye family?" ”

"Oh? When are you going to help us out of this situation? ”

Ye Zhihe was choked by these words, his face was slightly red with anger, and he stood up and said, "Ignorance! Stupidity! I don't know what to do! ”

When the old lady saw that her precious grandson was unhappy, she immediately comforted: "Zhihe don't pay attention to this vulgar girl, what does she know, she is destined to be an ugly girl that no one wants in this life." ”

"Hahaha, ugly!" Ye Furong grimaced at her and stuck out her tongue, pulled Aunt Tao's sleeve, and pouted, "Mother, I haven't eaten the buns yet." ”

"Weird! Pocket! Three-year-old Ye Zhige parroted and writhed in Du's arms.

Ye Jingqing protected the bun in his hand and said bluntly to the old lady: "I am going to order this bun today." If the old lady is reluctant to eat a meal next time, don't tell us to work, there is no free lunch in the world, and there is nothing to do in vain! ”

These words undoubtedly angered them, and the old lady wanted to rush over and beat people: "It's really the opposite!" You little scourge dare to negotiate terms with me! ”

"This is not a condition," Ye Jingqing smiled: "This is the rule, people who don't do things will have nothing to eat, what does the old lady think?" ”

The old lady was stunned when she heard this, this was undoubtedly in line with her thoughts, the Ye family was used to being pampered, and if they didn't work, they would have starved to death.

couldn't help but move her eyes to Ye Furong, who was about the same age as Ye Jingqing, Aunt Tao knew her thoughts at a glance, and immediately protected her daughter and said: "Old lady, Furong can't do those rough jobs, like a rough maid, how to find a good in-law in the future!" ”

Ye Furong was pulled by her mother, and she echoed very well-behaved: "Furong must be filial to the old lady in the future!" ”

"Draw less pies for me, learn more embroidery to subsidize the family, and the Ye family doesn't raise idlers!" The old lady was reluctant to work with her cute little granddaughter, so she let her go for the time being, turned her head to Ye Jingqing and said, "Hurry up, there is more work for you to do in the afternoon!" ”

sat down to eat again, and those three buns were extraordinarily gracious to Ye Jingqing to take them away.
