Qin Xiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Song He'er to herself, and smoothed her hair for her, "That's good,

Drink some water and take a break. ”

"Auntie, I'm not thirsty."

As soon as the words fell, the man took down the sack and tent from the car, "I have put the things here for you, and you can count them yourself." ”

Zhang Xiu'e stepped forward, looked at the two thick tents, opened the sack and checked the white rice, and then nodded reassuringly, "Thank you." ”

"No need." The man still spoke so coldly, and then turned to leave.

Zhang Xiu'e put all the rice and tent on the cart, this time, there were a little more things with her, and the car became heavy, usually two people can pull the cart, but now you need three people to pull it.

Su Yu's daughter-in-law is timid and has a poor body, and she is always sick along the way, so all the physical work falls on Zhang Xiu'e and Li Qiang's daughter-in-law.

"Fifth girl, can our thirty eggs be exchanged for so many things?" Li Qiang's daughter-in-law suddenly asked.

"Xu saw that I was pitiful, and I was still a small child, so she gave it to me!" Song He'er casually picked up an excuse to prevaricate.

When Sister Nian heard this, she immediately ran forward and said with a smile: "Since they pity the child, then let me go for this kind of thing in the future, I am younger than Sister He'er, wouldn't I be able to exchange for more things?" ”

Zhang Xiu'e dragged her over, "What nonsense are you talking about this little girl, although you are young, but you can't say that you are your fifth sister, don't brag......"

Sister Nian puffed out her mouth, a little indignant, "Mother, after this year, I will be a year old again, and I will grow up one day." ”

"Okay, then let's talk about it when you grow up!"

The crowd smiled and continued on their way.

Before I knew it, it was dark again, and it was getting closer and closer to the desert, and the wind and sand gradually became bigger, whining and blowing, so that people couldn't open their eyes at all.

Li Qiang's daughter-in-law parked the car next to a tree stump and tied it with a rope to prevent the inverted wheel from falling downhill.

"Don't go, it's going to rain, we have to find a shelter from the wind quickly."

Qin Xiaoniang looked around and saw that there was no shelter next to her at all, only a rock pile was located not far away.

Song He'er pointed ahead and said, "It's better to be right next to that rock, and set up two tents against the wind, so that you can also have a place to lean on." ”

Zhang Xiu'e felt that this method was feasible, so she nodded, walked to the car and began to take the tent above.

"Tian Niangzi, come here to help."

"Okay, here!"

Zhang Xiu'e tied the two tents together, put dry straw in them, and spread the leftover materials from making clothes as sheets, so that it was slightly more comfortable to lie down.

In the autumn night, it will inevitably be cold, Chundi set up a pot outside the tent, and cooked white rice porridge inside, which was steaming into the tent, but brought a little warmth.

Song He'er took a bowl and walked to Brother Huan'er's side, and said to Qin Xiaoniang: "Auntie, you go to eat, I'll feed Brother Huan." ”

Qin Xiaoniang hesitated a little, looked down at Brother Huan who was playing, and then looked at Song He'er, "Brother Huan still drink my milk......

Song He'er knew that she just hurt her son, but no matter how painful it was, the milk would always run out one day, and the meals on the road were not nutritious, and the milk produced was getting less and less.

"Auntie, Brother Huan has four teeth, it's okay to eat something, don't always let him drink milk, so your body can't bear it."

Zhang Xiu'e on the side heard the conversation here, put down the spoon, took an egg from the pot and walked in, "You eat this egg, it's nothing for the child to drink some rice porridge, and the children in the countryside haven't grown up drinking this." ”

Qin Xiaoniang sighed, "Hey, it's the children." ”

Zhang Xiu'e stuffed the egg into Qin Xiaoniang's hand, "Since it has reached this point, don't think about anything else, look forward steadily, as long as we are single-minded, we will definitely be able to arrive in Xinzhou safely." ”

Qin Xiaoniang didn't speak, opened the eggshell, and ate the egg little by little.

After Song He'er fed Brother Huan, she began to coax him to sleep.

Su Yu's daughter-in-law and Li Qiang's daughter-in-law took their children to rest in another tent, and Sister Chundi, Zhang Xiu'e and Qin Xiaoniang's mother and daughter, slept in another slightly larger tent.

In the middle of the night, it was pouring rain in the sky, and the tents were swaying in all directions.

Qin Xiaoniang woke up, opened the curtain and looked outside, seeing that the rain outside was about to flow inside without passing the tent......

"Tian Niangzi, don't sleep, look at the strong wind outside, and blow our tent away in a while!"

Zhang Xiu'e rubbed her eyes, got up and poked her head out, and couldn't help complaining, "What the hell is this weather?" There is a drought in front of you, and it doesn't rain at all, and when you get here, the wind is raging, and the four seasons are not divided! ”

"It's so far away from Shangjing, and the weather is abnormal, so we have to go out and tighten this tent a little bit, so as not to get wind in the middle of the night!"

"Good!"

Chundi was also awakened by the sound of rain, put on her clothes, and prepared to go out to help.

Zhang Xiu'e picked up a few branches from a distance, tied the rope under the tent more firmly, stuck the branches into the soil and knocked them with stones dozens of times.

Seeing that the tent was no longer shaking, Zhang Xiu'e breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to go into the tent to sleep, Qin Xiaoniang suddenly thought of something again, "It's broken!" Broken! We still have food on our cars, so we won't let the rain soak it! ”

"There's an old leather on it, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"No, I'll have to go over and have a look!"

With that, Qin Xiaoniang ran to the side of the cart.

The hens and geese in the car have been put into their tents by Li Qiang's daughter-in-law, and all that is left outside is cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and some white rice.

Qin Xiaoniang lifted the leather and saw that the sack containing the rice was not wet, but the wooden planks of the cart were all soaked because of the return of moisture, and if the white rice was also wet, it would inevitably have insects.

"Tian Niangzi, hurry up and call someone to move things, these things will become moldy when they are wet!"

Zhang Xiu'e ran over from behind, and took Li Qiang's daughter-in-law and Chundi with her.

"Quick! Carry the white rice to the tent first, and then take the sweet potatoes and cucumbers. “

A few people moved quickly, ran back and forth twice and then moved all the things to the tent,

Song He'er hugged Brother Huan and leaned on the innermost, Zhang Xiu'e and the others could only sit and sleep, because the tent itself did not have much space, and the rain moved all the food in, and the place must be small.
