After Mrs. Shen and her party returned home, they were so angry that they didn't even eat dinner, and just sat in the room and sulked.

They didn't catch anything this time, not to mention, they were stung by bees like this, it was a shame to throw them home.

Shen Yaocai went home to change his clothes after falling into the ditch before, and then went to the edge of the mountain forest to look for goats and hens for a long time.

It's a pity that he still can't find it, and he still wants others to help him find it, but no one wants to go into the mountain with him on such a cold day.

Caught cold in the ditch, coupled with the cold wind blowing in the mountains for a long time, he still felt cold after wearing a padded jacket for several years, and kept sneezing and runny nose.

"Mother, this time we miscalculated. Ahh Now, next time you wait, I'm going to get our rightful thing back!" ”

Mrs. Shen wanted to touch her face to see how it was, but she accidentally touched the wound and gasped in pain.

"Hey~ What about next time, next time you're not afraid of being stung by bees? Their family is very evil, and Russia doesn't dare to go again. What's more, now that the second child has severed relations with us, we can't find a reason even if we want to come to the door. ”

"Ahh Shen Yaocai sniffed and said disapprovingly, "Mother, you are stupid, we can wait until the dead of night to go." I don't believe it, they don't sleep at night. ”

"Don't they still have a sheep in their house? When the time came, I stole the sheep back and sold it in the city before dawn, and no one could find out before it was dawn. ”

"Huh? It's a good idea! Mrs. Shen stroked her palms and shouted, "Wu'er is really smart, and he deserves to be a good son of Russia." ”

"Grandmother." At this moment, Shen Qiangsheng and Shen Qiangwu walked over.

The two of them touched their stomachs and said bitterly, "Grandmother, we are hungry. ”

Mrs. Shen has the power to cook at home, and the food is also placed in her house.

Every time she cooks, she has the final say on how much rice she puts in.

As long as she doesn't agree to cook, there will be no food to cook.

When Qian came to ask her if she was going to cook, she angrily said that she wouldn't eat at night.

But adults can still endure it, but half-grown children who are still growing their bodies can't bear it.

Mrs. Shen was in a much better mood because of Shen Yaocai's words, and when she saw that her two good grandsons came to shout that they were hungry, she suddenly felt that she was also a little hungry.

So she immediately called for someone to cook, but no one came.

"Where's Qingqing? Where's that dead girl? Why don't you come when you shout to cook? ”

Shen Qiangsheng and Shen Qiangwu also have a younger sister named Shen Qingqing, who is only eleven years old this year.

But in this patriarchal family, she can do housework very early, and she usually cooks at home.

"I'll call her!" Shen Qiangsheng volunteered to find Shen Qingqing.

He went out into a small shack in the courtyard, and there was only a small bed in the shed, on which a little girl was lying weakly.

"Hey!" Shen Qiangsheng kicked the head of the bed, "I know to sleep all day long, get up and cook quickly!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Qingqing, who was asleep, was taken aback and didn't dare to show it, but only responded resignedly, "Oh, it's ......"

Shen Qiangsheng heard the satisfactory answer and turned to leave.

Shen Qingqing propped herself up and got up, but she almost fell.

Yesterday's snowy weather suddenly cooled, her shack was not cold-tolerant, coupled with the thin quilt, she was so cold that she didn't sleep all night, and she was also infected with the wind cold.

Even so, she must do the housework that should be done at home, otherwise she will not be able to eat, not to mention, and will be scolded in exchange for a meal.

Shen Qingqing dragged her weak body to the kitchen to get a bowl, and walked into Mrs. Shen's room to ask for rice.

"It's only coming now, it's really a useless money-loser!" Mrs. Shen scolded dissatisfiedly, took the bowl and groped her way to the rice bowl in the bed.

She opened the lid of the rice bowl and reached into the rice bowl to scoop the rice, but it was empty.

"Huh? How can this rice be eaten so quickly? ”

Mrs. Shen muttered, and stretched her hand down again, but she still scooped it up.

She was in a hurry, and suddenly stretched the bowl to the bottom of the rice jar, and found that there was still no rice.

"What's going on? There is so much rice, where did it go? Mrs. Shen scolded angrily, "Did any of you steal the rice and sell it?" ”

"Mother, you, ahhh What are you talking nonsense? Shen Yaocai sneezed and said with some dissatisfaction, "We went out with you and came back together, who has time to steal rice to sell, could it be that you are mistaken?" Maybe the rice was eaten by us. ”

Although he did steal rice and sell it for money before, he really didn't do it this time.

"I can't be mistaken!" Mrs. Shen said firmly, "Our family can eat a pot of rice for a month, and I am full of rice at the beginning of the tenth year, how can I eat it in sixteen." ”

Shen Yaocai pouted, "Then what else can this be, it's impossible for someone else to come to our house to steal rice, right?" ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Mrs. Shen sighed in her heart when she heard his words.

Oh no, it's possible that it was stolen!

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more panicked she became, if it hadn't been stolen, where else could this rice go, could she have run away with her long feet?

When she was cooking at noon today, she remembered that there was still a lot of rice in this tank.

In the afternoon, they all went to Shen Er's house, and it was impossible for their own family to steal it.

Although there is also a Shen Qingqing at home, no one believes that a little girl who is as timid as a mouse all day long dares to steal the family's food.

What's more, they weren't at home all afternoon, and Shen Qingqing was sick, if a thief really sneaked in, they wouldn't be able to find out.

"Quick! Go and see if the food we have hidden is still there! ”

Mrs. Shen was so frightened that she stammered a little when she spoke, so much food, if it was stolen, it would really kill him.

Shen Yaocai didn't take it seriously, but it can be seen that the old lady looked panicked and had some bad premonitions in her heart.

He panicked and picked up the key to the room where the food was kept, and before he could enter, he saw that the door was wide open and the lock on the door had been picked.

When I walked in, I saw that the hay in the room that was used to store food had been turned over.

The food hidden inside had long been emptied, and only a few messy footsteps remained on the ground.

Shen Yaocai only glanced at it, and he almost fainted.

This is the food for their family!

There are still eight or nine months left until the autumn harvest next year, and how will they survive during this time?

At the beginning, the Shen family bought a lot of fertile land with Shen's father's pension, and saved a lot of food after driving away Shen Zhengwen and his family, so even if it was a famine year, they didn't worry about eating and drinking.

The family had accumulated a lot of food and lived their own life in secret.

But Shen Yaocai didn't expect Shen Zhengwen to leak the news that their family had food, so their family didn't dare to go out casually during this time, and stayed at home all day to guard the food, for fear that someone would come and steal the food when they heard the news.

But I didn't expect that I still didn't keep the food, and after going to Shen Er's house for so long, all the food in the family was stolen.

Shen Yaocai crawled back to Mrs. Shen's room, crying and shouting, "Mother! Food, food is all gone, how can we live now......?"

"What?" Mrs. Shen was so angry that she withstood a day's blows, and this time she finally fainted completely......

When Shen Qingqing saw her grandmother fainting, she screamed in fright and shrank into the corner.

Her eyes seemed to unintentionally sweep towards Mrs. Shen who was fainting on the ground, but the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up an arc under the cover of her hair.
