Chapter 891: Famine, Natural Disasters 48

After breakfast, the patriarch saw the opportunity to walk to Cheng Dazhu's house.

Cheng Yuanxi took the two children to join him, "Patriarch, you and Yiyi and their brothers and sisters have been there together, we have to pick wild vegetables at home to dry and take them to eat on the road; The family has a large population and a lot of food, so I won't go with you. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy, just have a clear etiquette and a clear ceremony."

After the patriarch finished speaking, Cheng Mingyi came over with three brothers, "Third uncle, patriarch, let's go with our cousins and cousins." ”

Cheng Yuanxi looked at the patriarch and saw that the patriarch had no opinion, so he nodded.

"Then you help the third uncle watch more of his younger brothers and sisters, the two of them love to run around."

"Okay, third uncle."

The four men agreed in unison, and the patriarch looked envious; He has only one child, and he has three grandchildren, but the eldest of the three grandchildren is only in his early tens, and the youngest is four years old.

Cheng Dazhu's family has a large population, eats a lot, and works a lot; His family eats more, works less, and uses less as labor.

The two Mingli brothers and sisters took four cousins and a patriarch out of the valley together.

When they arrived outside the valley, Mingyi and Mingli led the way in front, and they knew it; There was still a road on the right hand side of the valley, but it was blocked for a while, and no one was noticed.

"Turns out there's another way here."

The biggest reason why this road is blocked is that the surrounding trees are depleted, and the road is covered with yellow leaves; People who see this scene subconsciously think that there is no other way here, and there is no gain from walking there.

It's not things that blind the eyes, it's cognition.

A person's perception blocks the way of choice.

"It's almost there." Mingyi pointed to the path ahead.

The patriarch looked at it, only to see that the winding mountain road was paved with dead branches and rotten leaves.

"Mingyi, how did you and Mingli find out about this?"

As soon as the patriarch asked, Cheng Mingyi and the others also looked at it curiously.

Mingyi looked up at her little face and said innocently: "When my brother and I were playing here, I found a hare and chased it all the way. ”

"That's it!" The patriarch could only say that they were lucky, "You are blessed." ”

When you play outside, you can see hares, which are meat; Not only did they see it, but they could also find a treasure land by chasing a rabbit, so much so that they repeatedly caught game meat to take home.

"Here we are."

After passing through the detours of the trails, you will be greeted by a vast meadow, which is not particularly verdant, but it is also very lush.

"So many wild plants." Cheng Mingxin ran into the grass and grabbed the tender picking.

Cheng Mingyi shook his head secretly, cousin Xin is a little embarrassed!

"Patriarch, the place has been brought, and my brother and I will go first." Mingyi didn't plan to stay in this place.

Cheng Mingli said: "Four cousins, my sister and I plan to go to the mountains to have a look, do you want to go together, or dig wild vegetables here?" ”

"What are you doing in the mountains?" Cheng Mingyi's face changed, "The deep mountains are very dangerous, you can help dig wild vegetables here." ”

The patriarch also said the same, "Your father and mother didn't come, so you can't go in and take risks." ”

Mingyi spread her hands and turned her head to look at her brother.

Cheng Mingli said slowly: "Patriarch, don't worry, cousins, we won't go too far; Just go around the forest in front, don't worry about us, we have already told my father and mother when we came out, and my father and mother agreed. ”

"Is that so?" Looking at the other four men of the Cheng family, the patriarch's eyes were full of inquiry.

Cheng Mingyi: "."

Cheng Mingming: "."

Cheng Minglian: "."

Cheng Mingxin: "."

No, we don't know.

They shook their heads.

The patriarch shook his head in unison in the face of the four of them, and looked down at the two little ones.

Mingyi: "."

In order to act alone, she fought.

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask my father."

"Yes." Only then did the patriarch look away, "You guys are digging wild vegetables here." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Cheng Mingyi and the four looked at the Mingli brothers and sisters, "You follow us, don't walk around; Regardless of whether the third uncle and the third aunt agree to you or not, the third uncle and the premise that they have not told us, we can't let you go into the mountains. ”

Mingyi supports the forehead.

Cheng Mingli smiled slightly, "That's okay, you should know when the patriarch comes back." ”

Cheng Mingyi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't have to go into the mountains.

"Then come and dig wild vegetables." Cheng Minglian will supervise the implementation to the end and prevent them from having a chance to slip away.

Cheng Mingli pulled his sister and took her to follow Cheng Minglian.

was pulled by his brother to restrict his movements, and Mingyi couldn't be willful even if he wanted to.

After obediently digging wild vegetables for half an hour, the patriarch and others finally brought people over; A group of people entering the meadow is like crazy, digging wild vegetables when they see them, regardless of whether they are tender or not, whether they can eat them or not.

"Oh my God! There are so many wild vegetables here, dig quickly, dig quickly. ”

"Cheng Dazhu's family is too unkind, they can't dig up so many wild vegetables here, and they don't know how to talk to the clan."

"If they had said earlier, we would have dug up a lot of wild vegetables to dry; Okay now, I'm going to leave tomorrow, how many wild vegetables can I dig up in a day today? ”

"We don't have much food, and we can eat wild vegetables; They should have told us earlier, and they didn't know how to tell us if they didn't dig up so many wild vegetables, and they were too unconscionable. ”

"Alright, you don't have to say a word; Uncle Dazhu's family doesn't say, can you come here? One by one, I don't know how good I am. As for your behavior, if it were me, I wouldn't want to tell you. ”

"That's it, how many benefits did Uncle Dazhu's family share with us along the way, and you don't have any points in your hearts? Why is the mouth so cheap; I can't stop your mouth if it's good, and I won't tell you when I meet you long-tongued women. ”

"Accumulate some virtue for your family, get the good of others, don't say two good words about others, and don't say too ugly behind your back."

“.”

The crowd chattered and did not delay digging wild vegetables, which were edible and could be eaten; When there is really no food, wild vegetables are also a rare good thing, which is better than tree bark.

The patriarch's family helped to say a few words, so that everyone's resentment calmed down.

Especially when I feel that the cheapness is less than those few companies, how can Cheng Dazhu not be authentic; Just a few words over and over again, but I don't know how to say a word of gratitude, and it's annoying to listen to too much.

Mingyi looked at the patriarch, then at a few cousins, and pulled his brother and Nunu's mouth.

Cheng Mingli stopped pulling wild vegetables, looked at the patriarch and smiled helplessly; Turning his gaze to a few cousins, "Cousins, the patriarch is back, we should be able to go around the woods, right?" ”

"Can't you two be honest?" Cheng Ming said.

Cheng Mingyi couldn't stop digging wild vegetables, "I'm leaving tomorrow, don't think about going to the mountains, hurry up and dig wild vegetables." ”

"Cousins just dig it, let's go to the woods and look for game." Cheng Mingli is not used to it, when they are willing to be obedient, they will naturally listen; But they also have their own plans, and they can't always listen to someone.

Give others the concept that they have to be obedient, and disobedience is ignorance?

That's not going to work.
