Chapter 882: Famine, Natural Disasters 39
"What about your two children? Why didn't I come back with you. ”
Cheng Yuanxi walked to his own territory and put down the pot and kitchen knife, and glanced at the questioner lightly, "They went looking for wild vegetables." ”
As for the rest, he didn't say a word.
However, there are also people who have crooked their brains, thinking of quietly following Cheng Mingli when he goes out again.
"When did the third brother go out when he came back?" Cheng Yuandong got up and saw Cheng Yuanxi talking to someone, and stepped forward to ask.
"I didn't go out until dawn, and the child loved to be clean, saying that he was uncomfortable; Instead of letting his brother and I accompany her to boil water and take a bath, I happened to take a bath too. Cheng Yuanxi automatically hid what they were doing outside.
Cheng Yuandong saw that his face was clean and his hair was clean, and he didn't suspect anything else.
"It's time to wash, we all stink, don't blame Yiyi for wanting to take a bath." Cheng Yuandong smiled and nodded, "What about them?" ”
Cheng Yuanxi said: "They are looking for wild vegetables outside, let them go, they are young and fast; It's better to drill around in the mountains than we adults will look for food, and it's better to run out to play than to make trouble around. ”
"Where's that? Don't you know how dangerous the mountains are? Cheng Yuanxi was not in a hurry, but Cheng Yuandong was in a hurry.
"What's the big brother in a hurry, it's okay if they don't drill in the mountains these days, I think there are no big beasts in the mountains; When the drought comes, they can't stay in the dry mountains if they want to survive, they have to migrate. ”
Cheng Yuandong just thought for a moment, and felt that he was right, "That being said, who knows if there are any beasts that haven't migrated." ”
I'm so hungry that I don't hesitate to eat people.
"I told them, it's okay, big brother will go wash up first." Cheng Yuanxi walked to his wooden shed with a smile.
Cheng Yuandong shook his head slightly and sighed lightly, the third brother is really unreliable; Seeing that his wife also came out, he turned his head and complained to his wife that the third brother didn't look like a father.
Li Lianhua looked at him helplessly, "That's someone's father, can you still not hurt the child?" Since the third brother said so, it means that there are really no big beasts in the mountains; It's okay to let them run around, and they've added a lot of meat to the family these days. ”
After speaking, he ignored him anymore, leaving Cheng Yuandong alone to mutter, that his wife was as unreliable as the third brother.
Cheng Dazhu and his wife didn't see Cheng Mingli's brothers and sisters when they got up, they just thought they were out; When they came out and found that none of Cheng Mingli's brothers and sisters were there, they learned from others that they went out early in the morning and have not come back.
Luo Cuihua frowned, "Why are these two children getting bolder and bolder." ”
"Ask the third child." Cheng Dazhu took the washing things to the edge of the pool, and after washing, he didn't see his third son coming; Only the eldest and second came to wash.
"What about the boss, the second, and the third?" Cheng Dazhu asked.
Cheng Yuandong pointed to the wooden shed where Cheng Yuanxi was, "It's in the shed." ”
"Mingyi and Mingli haven't come back now, he's not going to look for it?" Cheng Dazhu opened his mouth unhappily, wiped his face with a towel, wrung out the water and asked Luo Cuihua to ask.
The wooden shed where the two of them slept didn't come out, and he was embarrassed to be a father.
As a mother-in-law, Luo Cuihua is understandable to ask.
Cheng Yuandong said: "Dad, don't go, the third child will take the two children out to take a bath before dawn in the morning; The old man came back after three days of dawn, saying that the two children had gone to dig wild vegetables, and they estimated that they should come back later. ”
"Went digging wild vegetables? Say it early! ”
Cheng Dazhu is just that.
Cheng Yuannan squatted on the side and said happily, "The two children are really capable." ”
"It's capable, the third child is starting to be unreliable, where can I let the two children be alone outside." Cheng Yuandong still disagrees with Cheng Yuanxi's attitude of not caring about his children.
"What do you want to do so much, the third child is a measured person, how tightly I watched the child before! If you dare to let them out, there is not much of a problem; I think I can let the children go out and find more food to come back. ”
Cheng Yuandong didn't continue to speak, I don't know if he was thinking too much; I always feel that the third child has something to hide from them, and after thinking about it, the two children are young, what can they hide?
Cheng Yuannan shook his head, and after washing, he took his daughter-in-law to help cook; He took the children of the family to look for wild vegetables and the food they ate the day before yesterday, such as mushrooms.
Tea tree mushrooms have been found a lot, but there are few other mushrooms; After all, it didn't rain, and the sun was shining every day, so it was strange that mushrooms could grow.
I was busy cooking and looking for food here, and Cheng Mingli hadn't seen my sister come back for a long time, so I could only be in a hurry for a while.
The more he waited, the more anxious he became, Cheng Mingli felt that his hands were itchy and wanted to beat his sister.
"Brother, I'm back." Approaching noon, Mingyi came back.
Cheng Mingli breathed a solid sigh of relief, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”
"Brother, look." Mingyi showed him the two ginseng strains he was holding in his hand, "The medicinal effect of the knowledge should still be there, and it is still fresh." ”
"How do you know it's ginseng?" He hadn't seen it.
Mingyi was speechless for a while, but quickly reacted and said, "I saw it in the pharmacy in the town, and some people took it to sell, and it looked like this." ”
"Have you really seen it?" Cheng Mingli was suspicious, it stands to reason that they all went to the town together, why hadn't he seen ginseng.
Could it be that ginseng still picks people to see?
"I've really seen it, my brother didn't believe it, so he brought the ginseng back to my father for identification."
Cheng Mingli nodded, "I really should show my father." ”
Mingyi stuffed the ginseng into him, glanced at the jerky, and smiled in his eyes; I went to the pool to wash my hands, and half of the water in the pool that overflowed again was collected into the space.
Come back and pick up the jerky and nibble on it.
Cheng Mingli didn't stop it, why should he stop it if there was food at home; Now that I need to eat more food to practice martial arts, my sister has been running for a long time, and she should indeed be hungry.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back for lunch, we haven't gone back for breakfast, grandparents are definitely going to ask us."
"Let's go." He took a large piece of jerky and put it in his mouth, and stuffed him with a piece by the way; Mingyi picked it up in front of him, and the stones were placed around the jerky at will.
Cheng Mingli didn't see the problem, just thought she was playing.
The stone was put away, and the maze was formed, and Mingyi followed Cheng Mingli to walk back while gnawing on the jerky; When they arrived at the mouth of the valley, they had finished eating the jerky, and their hands were not stained with oil, so they found weeds and rubbed their hands, and then took two handfuls of slightly moist soil on the ground.
So you can't see it.
At the entrance of the valley, I found some wild vegetables and went back to the errand.
Back at the temporary station, in the face of the questioning of their grandfather and grandmother, the brother and sister spoke in unison, and forgot the time to find wild vegetables.
Cheng Dazhu and others just thought they were playful, and they didn't pay attention to the time to come back, but they also said the past; The fact that their siblings didn't pick many wild vegetables proves that they are playful.
A large family sat around the wooden table built, and opposite Mingyi was Cheng Mingyue.
