Chapter 923: Famine, Natural Disasters 80
Cheng Mingli's brother and sister are seriously looking for food, Cheng Minglian is watching from the side, and if they don't know each other, they will see if their brothers and sisters are looking for the same seafood; If you see them looking for the same, you will ask, and if you don't see them, you won't ask.
Occasionally talk to them, make small talk, or take care of things they can't mention; Mingyi and the others are looking for a lot of small fish and shrimp, and they wear several ropes, they are short, and it is inconvenient to move with more ropes, but it is indeed much easier to have Cheng Minglian's help.
"Third cousin, thank you."
On the way back, Cheng Mingli thanked him with a smile.
Cheng Minglian smiled heartily: "What's polite, I'm my brother, I should take care of my younger brother; You and Mingyi often run out these days, and when you go out three times, you can always bring some food back, and I also get a lot of your light, and I can eat a bite of meat when others eat bran vegetables, thanks to the two of you. ”
Because the unhappiness brought by Cheng Mingyue has dissipated a little, I have to say that once people want to befriend someone, they will bring it out in their attitude.
I've eaten so much meat before, and I haven't said a word of thanks once.
Cheng Mingli said calmly: "My sister and I also ate the wild vegetables you were looking for." ”
"It's all a family, don't say polite words." Cheng Minglian laughed, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at several other brothers in the same company, "Big brother, second cousin, fourth cousin, do you say?" ”
"Well, that's how it should be." Cheng Mingyi nodded.
Cheng Mingli couldn't say anything in his heart, he just felt that their one-room contribution seemed to be regarded as it should be.
This is the case, but they can't help it.
Cheng Mingming and Cheng Mingxin glanced at each other, but neither spoke; The people in the big house seem to be a little self-righteous, and it is estimated that they enjoy the special things that the eldest son and eldest grandson should have.
"Little cousin, little cousin, you will go to the beach and call us in the future; We also want to find some small fish and shrimp to fry and store, and we can't count on you every time we don't eat them. "You are very spiritual here.
The food that Mingyi and Mingli find will be divided in many cases; They have nothing to eat, Cheng Yuanxi can't turn a blind eye, and they really starve to death.
There is no meat like small fish and shrimp, and no one will have an opinion regardless of it; The two children in their third room did find a lot of food to eat, and if they hadn't been able to find food, their family would not have been able to maintain their good mental state now.
Cheng Mingli looked up at them seriously, and then looked at his sister.
Mingyi nodded, "The two cousins can come if they want, in addition to the seafood that my grandfather told me, there are other seafoods; It's just that we didn't find out, and the people in the county must know, but unfortunately we can't enter the county here. ”
"Yes! If we can go to the county and ask the locals what seafood is edible, we can find more to eat; However, since we came here, no one has come out of the county, and we have not seen the surrounding villages. ”
They suspect that there are no villages around, only this remote county town.
Mingyi smiled slightly, she knew a lot of edible seafood, but she wouldn't say it rashly.
Returning to the station, I want to have a lot of gains from the people in the three rooms, among which Mingyi and Mingli have gained the most; They have quick hands and feet, have kung fu and internal force, and sometimes in the puddle with a shock of internal force, many fish and shrimp will emerge, therefore, most of the fish and shrimp they find back are dead.
Chen Daya saw the things they were carrying by the firelight, and happily greeted them and took the straw rope from her daughter's hand.
"Yiyi is tired, go to your father's side to rest, and the rest of the mother will do it." Chen Daya hugged her daughter, and then went to see her son, "Mingli, you come over to help my mother wash fish and shrimp." ”
Near the sea, and there is no shortage of water outside the county, Chen Daya has become exquisite; On the way to escape from the wilderness, you can't pay attention to it, it's good to have a bite to eat to fill your stomach, and if the conditions don't allow, you don't pay attention to it.
Now that we have a sophisticated environment, we naturally have to pick up our previous habits.
The things in the entrance should be clean, so Chen Daya is very careful when cleaning, so it will naturally be slower; There's nothing wrong with calling my son for help.
Mingyi smiled: "Mother, I'll help you." ”
"No need for you, look at your trouser legs are wet, and you've been soaking in the water for a long time; Go find a clean dress to change into, the girl must protect herself, and the clothes that have been stained with water can no longer be worn. Chen Daya told carefully.
Cheng Mingli looked at the wet clothes on his body, and then at the wet trouser legs; So, did he pick it up from his mother?
"Mother, I'm wet too."
"Change when you're wet, and it's not like you don't have clothes."
After speaking, Chen Daya took the fish and shrimp that belonged to a pair of children and rushed to a large pond on the side of the forest to clean.
Cheng Mingli:
Sure enough, he picked it up, right?
Seeing her brother's stiff face, Mingyi chuckled, "Brother, change your clothes, go and help your mother wash them together; It's getting late, pack up early and go to bed early, tomorrow I don't know if there will be high tide, if there is another high tide we can go to the beach and find some food. ”
"Okay."
At the same time, Cheng Mingli's heart was congested, and in the face of the unstoppable warmth in his sister's heart, it was okay to be a mother who loved his sister, didn't he also love his sister.
Sister deserves it.
Very good, after self-PUA, Cheng Mingli ran to find his clean clothes; Seeing that Mingyi also found clothes, the brother and sister went to the forest to change clothes separately.
It was dark at night, and it was even darker in the forest, and Mingyi and Mingli separated the elder for a long distance; Their night vision is good, and ordinary people may not be able to see, but they can see their surroundings clearly with a little light.
After changing their clothes, the brother and sister took their dirty clothes and returned to the wheelbarrow to put them down; Then I went to help Chen Daya clean up the fish and shrimp together, and it was troublesome to clean up the small fish and shrimp, but as long as you were patient, it would be fine.
In the case of a bonfire, for Chen Daya, only a shadow can be barely seen on the edge of the pond.
groped to clean up the fish and shrimp, carried the washed fish and shrimp back to the stove set up by their house, and poured the fish and shrimp into the pot to fry and dry; Finally, add salt and stir-fry for a while, and the simple fried fish and shrimp will come out.
Can't do fine, the simplest can always do.
The fried fish and shrimp were put into oily paper bags, and the two of them went out twice to get two large bags of dried fish and shrimp; Under the clothes of the wheelbarrow pushed by Chen Daya in the process of Yuanxi.
It is a good way to hide the smell and hide the fact that you are eating.
Chen Daya cleaned up the stove and returned to Cheng Yuanxi to see that her daughter was already asleep; There was a thick layer of weeds on the ground, Cheng Yuanxi sat next to him braiding straw ropes, and several braided ropes were placed at his feet.
"Xianggong, it's time to sleep."
"Let's go to sleep at the end, you go to the car to sleep with Yiyi first, the ground is damp."
"Okay." In response, Chen Daya bent down to pick up her sleeping daughter.
Mingyi was woken up by shaking in her sleep, squinted and saw that it was her mother, and fell asleep again.
Chen Daya carried her to the wheelbarrow and put it next to Cheng Mingli; A layer of mattress was laid on the wheelbarrow, and Cheng Mingli covered a quilt, occupying a small half of the position, and the rest was reserved for Mingyi.
