Chapter 1023: Concubine's Night Talk
Everyone unanimously discussed the countermeasures, so they all packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and sat in the courtyard with the children, reluctant to return to the room.
Ye Qiuyun was even more unaccustomed.
Since she and Ji Liangqing got married, this is the first time that Ji Liangqing has not been by her side at night.
Even when they fled the famine, they were inseparable.
Not to mention the fact that now that I know what a grim prospect they will face, I can't sleep.
They sat in the courtyard with their children in their arms, and a few boys except Ji Miaomiao remembered it, and they were originally puzzled why their father and uncles were not there during dinner today.
But seeing that the adults were not very interested and had sad faces, they didn't ask.
In the few memories of these boys, the last time the adults looked like this was when they were about to experience a famine.
They were terrified in their hearts, and they had to remain silent.
"The second family, starting tomorrow, add an extra scoop of water when cooking, put less food, and eat some thin food to live."
Mrs. Ji commanded.
In other farmers' homes, porridge is not eaten when the farm is busy, and only when the farm is busy will the slightly thicker dry rice be cooked.
Their family has a relatively good life, and they are always dry, but now the situation is special, and Mrs. Ji has to arrange it like this.
Second sister-in-law Ji also understood this, and nodded in response.
"Miao Yatou's millet porridge is still so much." Undisguised partiality for her granddaughter Mrs. Ji: "She is weak, how can she stand it if she doesn't eat something good?" ”
This is what it means to continue to open a small stove for her.
But the rest of the family didn't have much of an opinion.
"Mother, the brothers in our family are not stupid people, and our news is faster than others, and their brothers have been in the city for so long, maybe they have already got food and carriages."
Su Xiu'er comforted Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji hooked the corners of her lips and nodded at her.
It is true that what Su Xiu'er said has some truth, but she didn't see the food in front of her, and Mrs. Ji couldn't feel at ease no matter what.
Such a big family still has five boys.
You have to eat food when you are in a hurry, how much food do you have to eat to get to a safe place?
Especially the two boys of the old family, they are already seven or eight years old.
She eats no worse than adults, not to mention that she has three other grandchildren.
If the food brought back by the brothers was not enough, wouldn't the grandchildren of the family be hungry?
Although Mrs. Ji usually loves Ji Miaomiao the most verbally, she also loves her grandchildren a lot.
If the grandchildren really can't eat food at that time, she would rather not eat a bite herself, but also save it for her grandchildren to eat.
The big guy returned to the room with a lot of sadness, Ye Qiuyun took the children to toss and turn and couldn't sleep, Ji Shiliang was still young, and he went to bed and fell asleep.
Ji Miaomiao is because the mall is in hand at all, and she sleeps very soundly.
Ye Qiuyun saw that the two little ones were asleep, and he really couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went out with his clothes on.
It was also a coincidence that she was carefully closing the door with her clothes on, and when she turned her head, she saw that her second sister-in-law Wang Xueyan was the same.
The two looked at each other and smiled, walked to the door of the big room and knocked lightly.
Su Xiu'er obviously didn't sleep either, and when she heard the knock on the door, she came to open the door with her clothes on, and when she saw that it was the two of them, she looked a little surprised.
But it only lasted for a few moments, and in the blink of an eye, it became clear.
When the door was opened to let them in, the two children were already asleep.
A few concubines talked about private conversations, and together they broke how much food was left at home, how to eat longer, and how to eat longer, if the men in the family couldn't get food, how could they eat longer.
Su Xiu'er was a little more youthful in the end, and she was reminded of sad things:
"The last time my father and I fled the famine, it was because the family didn't have enough food, so my father went to grab food and was beaten to the heart."
"I also saw some people who didn't have enough food, and who couldn't get it, went to dig up the soil and eat it! But how can the soil be swallowed? ”
Wang Xueyan sighed, "But no, you can't swell to death if you eat soil?" But we won't! I just went to the vegetable cellar yesterday to take a look, we still have so many vegetables in reserve, when the time comes, knead more vegetable buns, vegetable buns can be eaten for ten days and half a month. ”
Most of the vegetables that the Ji family planted on the wasteland before were stored in the vegetable cellars that their brothers had dug temporarily.
Ji's second sister-in-law is in charge of things in the kitchen, and she knows these aspects of food very well.
Hearing this, Su Xiu'er felt a little comforted in her heart, and turned her head and began to worry about another thing:
"I don't know where we're going this time."
"Whatever, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." Wang Xueyan can see this place: "We still have cattle at home now, we will not be too tired, everyone in our family has hands and feet and is diligent, and we can eat anywhere." ”
Su Xiu'er's eyes were full of smiles.
How else can she say that she likes her husband's family?
From these little things, you can see that the character is not self-pity, but some positive thoughts.
I believe that among this group of positive people, the thing she least wants to see will not happen.
Although the usual relationship between the concubines is close enough, they can get together to talk about these big things, and each other's hearts can be closer.
While a few people were talking, Wang Xueyan and Ye Qiuyun simply stopped at the big house.
Anyway, the three of them didn't come back, so the three of them stayed together to talk and pass the time.
Several of them are not stingy, and they all have straightforward personalities. I was still in good spirits until the middle of the night, and I fell asleep in a daze until near dawn.
Who knew that half a moment after falling asleep, he heard a knock on the door.
Wang Xueyan rubbed her eyes, nodded The kerosene lamp got up and opened the door, and saw Brother Ji standing at the door panting.
Under the kerosene lamp, his eyes lit up amazingly.
But maybe he ran back, and he was still gasping for air, obviously tired.
"Big brother, are you back?"
Wang Xueyan asked softly, opened the door to let him into the house, and hurriedly handed him tea and poured water.
At this time, the door opened, and Su Xiu'er and Ye Qiuyun also came out of the room.
Seeing that her husband was back, Su Xiu'er looked at him expectantly.
Brother Ji drank the water in one sip and nodded slightly, his eyes full of smile and ease:
"Ladies and younger siblings, don't worry!"
Rest assured, right?
Su Xiu'er didn't seem to know what these three words meant, and pondered in her head for a long time.
After reacting, my heart was relieved, and my eyes were red.
Ye Qiuyun and Wang Xueyan are no exception.
They spent the night in fear, fearing that the men would not be able to get enough food back.
But the first thing Brother Ji said when he came back reassured them, which made them lift their hearts for a whole day and let them go down a little.
The sourness in his nose couldn't be suppressed.
