Wu Cuihua'er also jumped out and scolded, "Those ungrateful things ate our fish last night, and they didn't want to help." ”

Li Laosi glared at her coldly and refused to respond. The third sister-in-law also knows that she is protecting her luggage and his daughter-in-law and children, and this second sister-in-law will come forward when she has benefits, and she will hide in case of trouble.

When Mrs. Li and the others rushed back, when they heard that the food was robbed, their faces were not good, and Wu Cuihuaer jumped up and down, as if she had just done her best to protect the food.

Mrs. Li knocked on the cigarette pouch and pot, "Shut your mouth for me, what virtue you have, no one in the family knows!" If you dare to talk more, don't eat at night. ”

"The food is gone, what are you going to eat!" Wu Cuihuaer dodged the cigarette pouch and muttered, which made the whole family cold-eyed.

Mrs. Li took the swaddling clothes and looked at her little granddaughter's bright eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma's Fu Niu'er, you're not scared, are you? Grandma is back, let's not be afraid. ”

Jiayin replied to her with a bubble of saliva, wanting to comfort the old lady a few words, but the exit was babbling.

This made Mrs. Li even happier, "That's it, if the food is gone, it's gone, and the family is safe." Besides, we still have a little lucky girl in our family, and you can't go hungry if you get a little blessing. ”

Wu Cuihuaer pursed her lips, and wanted to say something to add to the blockage, but was pulled by Li Lao Er, "Go pick up things, I'm going to hurry." ”

Wu Cuihuaer rolled her eyes, she didn't dare to say anything.

Jiayin lay in her mother's arms, and sat on the road again in her father's wheelbarrow, her little brow furrowed, trying to think about how she could be less amazing and really help the family.

It's a pity that her little head melon hasn't fully developed, and she didn't come up with a solution, so she fell asleep first...

When Jiayin woke up again, it was already midday to rest.

At this time, the sun was shining, and Tao Hongying was afraid that her daughter would get the sun, so she asked Jiaxi and Jia'an to pick up a few wooden sticks, tie them with cloth strips, and cover them with a large cloth shirt of Li Laosi, making a simple pergola shade.

Wu Cuihua'er glanced back at Jiayin from time to time, and she didn't know what she was talking about, and it was probably not a good word.

The grain was snatched away, and now there is only half a bag of millet left on the donkey cart, as well as the sweet potatoes that were dug up earlier.

A large family, as well as those half-sized children, this little thing can't last long at all.

Mrs. Li took two puffs of cigarette pouches and pots, and her slightly cloudy eyes were full of sorrow.

"Fourth, the millet and sweet potatoes can be put away, keep them first, you go to the mountains and see if you can find something to eat." Mrs. Li looked back at her granddaughter, her eyes were still closed, and she didn't seem to be awake, and her voice was a little lowered.

Li Laosi responded happily, put the bow and arrow on his back and went up the mountain. A few boys wanted to follow, but were driven back by Li Laosi.

It's not good to hunt when there are too many people, and a few of them are impetuous, even if there is a pheasant or a hare or something, they have to be scared away.

When Jiayin heard Mrs. Li's words, she opened her eyes and looked over, only to see her father's sturdy back, and she was a little worried.

In such a famine year, there is nothing to eat, and those wild meats are still alive?

Without her following, it's no wonder that her father can hunt living creatures!

Jiayin hurriedly stretched out his little hand and grabbed it in the direction of Li Laosi, babbling in his mouth, wanting to call his father back.

Tao Hongying thought that Jiayin was hungry, so she hurriedly hugged her in her arms and fed her.

Jia Yin poured a mouthful of milk coldly, and the baby's nature made her subconsciously start to swallow.

Jiayin sighed silently, alas, it's just that, next time she will follow.

Half an hour later, there was no good news secretly taking things out of the space from the side, and it was conceivable that Li Laosi returned empty-handed.

There are a lot of people in this area, not to mention the game on the mountain, even the bark of the trees has been almost stripped naked, and there is no trace of wild fruits and vegetables.

When everyone saw Li Laosi coming back empty-handed, although they had already made psychological preparations, they were still a little melancholy when they thought of the little food left.

Li Lao Er looked at his younger brother's dark face with faint guilt, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, jokingly.

"Look at it, it's not okay without our Fu Niu'er by your side, right? If you want me to say, you should hug Fu Niu'er before you set off, maybe you can catch a pheasant or hare or something! ”

When he said this, he dispelled the sorrow that had only permeated the Li family for a while, and everyone laughed twice.

Jiayin agreed with Li Laoer's words, grinned, and rubbed the two rows of toothless bald beds up and down, and also babbled in response.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li smiled more and more happily, reached out to tease her granddaughter, and dangled in front of her with the cigarette pouch hanging under the pot of the cigarette pouch.

"......" Jiayin's face is full of black lines, why is this action so much like teasing a puppy.

Thinking so in her heart, she still resigned herself to stretching out her little hand to grab it, which made Mrs. Li and the others laugh again.

"My sister is not only a lucky girl, but also a pistachio!" Jia An laughed so hard that his teeth were about to be exposed, and he clapped his hands and said.

Although nothing good was found in the mountains, and the Li family couldn't go hungry, Mrs. Li grabbed a handful of millet, picked two not too big sweet potatoes, handed them to the third daughter-in-law, and asked her to cook them into a paste.

Zhao Yuru carefully held the sweet potato and millet, put it in the pot, and took it to the river to wash.

Wu Cuihua'er craned her neck to look at the half bag of sweet potatoes, and then looked at the two brothers of Jiaxi Jia'an who were milking Jiayin, their eyes were purring, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

When Zhao Yuru came back with the pot, Wu Cuihuaer lazily started to help.

"Hey, the fourth daughter-in-law has plenty of milk now, right?" Wu Cuihuaer and Zhao Yuru got together and asked her in a low voice.

Zhao Yuru was cutting the sweet potato into small pieces, and when she heard Wu Cuihua'er ask, she made a move in her hand and looked at her suspiciously, "What are you asking for?" ”

Wu Cuihua'er has never cared much about Tao Hongying, and when she suddenly asked if the milk was enough, she felt ill-intentioned.

"I'll just ask." Wu Cuihua'er was a little weak-hearted, raised her hand to wipe her nose, and continued to help Zhao Yuru work.

A handful of millet, two sweet potatoes, and half a pot of water were added, and finally everyone was given a bowl of slippery sweet potato millet paste.

Zhao Yuru's eyes were sharp, and she saw a small cluster of green and yellow wild vegetables by the river, which added more flavor to the paste.

A few big men and half-sized men snorted and drank a bowl of mush, not even half full.

Zhao Yuru drank half a bowl, and poured the rest of her bowl into Li Laosan's bowl with a calm face.

In this famine and troubled world, if their family wants to survive, they still have to count on these old men, she eats less and nothing, she has to let her men eat more.

Li Laosan looked at his daughter-in-law guiltily and distressedly, and raised his head to drink the mush.

Wu Cuihua'er didn't seem to see Zhao Yuru's actions, she drank her paste in a few sips, and glanced at Mrs. Li with a sneaky look, and saw that her face was quite kind, so she had the courage to open her mouth.
