The boy's eyes were hot, and he desperately wanted to know where he could dig up wild vegetables, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he lifted his foot.

Now that the food is so expensive, he just asked so rashly, will he be beaten out?

In the house, Fang Youshun entered the house and told Fang Youcheng about the situation all the way over, and Fang Youcheng also talked about the situation here in his hometown.

The drought in my hometown has been going on since the spring of this year, and from the beginning of spring to the present, there has not been a drop of rain for several months, and the well water has fallen badly, which is a natural disaster, and it is not something that can be solved by manpower at all.

Fang Youshun was silent for a long time, and said to him: "If there is anything you can't get by, remember to go to me, although I don't have much ability, but it's okay to take care of the family." ”

The men of the Fang family and his generation are now only their cousins, he doesn't want Fang Youcheng to have something to do, in case Fang succeeds, there is also a case, isn't there only one left?

"Hey." Fang Youcheng agreed repeatedly.

He is not such a spineless person, and he has gone through some messes back then, but now this little thing will not make him mess up.

What's more, today's world is not what it used to be, and the village cadres have been working hard to solve difficulties, otherwise, he would not have been able to persist until now.

"Okay, that's good." Fang Youshun listened to his promise and felt a little relieved.

But just in case, he still told him about some of the places he passed along the way that were better, which was considered to give Fang Youcheng and the children a way out.

After saying that all the places he had passed along the way were better, Fang Youshun still told him with some unease: "If I eat all these things I left, and the situation here has not eased, you can take the children to these places I said to ask for food, if one road doesn't work, change the road, don't be so brainless and only run one road, if those places don't work, you can take the children to find me, you know?" ”

Fang Youcheng kept nodding when he heard this, and now he didn't know what to say except nodding.

Seeing that he agreed, Fang Youshun finally relieved himself, and told him the route to take from here to his son-in-law's village several times, and asked him to repeat it twice before it was finished.

Fang Youcheng listened to Fang Youshun's babbling over and over again, and couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes.

Since the death of his wife and mother in the flood that year, he was a father and a mother who brought up the children, and now at home, he has always been the one who makes decisions, and no one has told him for many years like he is not worried about the child.

Fang Youshun also looked at his old brother with sour eyes, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

Who wouldn't want to be a mother's child? Who doesn't want to be a hands-off shopkeeper and don't worry about anything, but when you have no elders above you, it's useless, and you have to shoulder the responsibility and work hard to give the children a home.

Shen Yusleeve couldn't fully understand the feeling that the two of them were afraid of losing their relatives, but they felt that they were still red-eyed when they looked at the two adults, and they were not afraid of being ashamed.

In fact, when she first got off the tricycle, she was already a little thirsty, but now that everyone in the house was talking, she was embarrassed to open her mouth to ask for water, so she consciously struggled out of Grandma Fang's arms and went to the tricycle to find water.

Grandma Fang didn't know what she was going to do, so she followed her to the door, and saw her neatly climb onto the tricycle, take a water bowl and scoop water from the jug to drink, so she turned back and continued to listen to the two brothers Fang Youshun with confidence.

Shen Yusleeve let out a small 'ah' sound after drinking the water, and quickly covered the water jar and put the water bowl away.

Grandpa can say that if the lid of the jug is not good, the water inside will run out, and then she will have no water to drink, she doesn't want to run out of water to drink.

Carefully doing all this, Shen Yusleeve lifted a cotton cloth in the corner of the car body. There are grass roots dug by my grandfather when he passed by a thatched field the day before yesterday, this thing is very delicious, every time she eats it, she feels that her tongue is full of relish, not so easy to thirst, she likes to eat it very much.

"Gollum ......"

Shen Yusleeve was sitting on the tricycle chewing grass roots, and suddenly heard a grunt, turned his head suspiciously, and saw a child standing by the fence at some point, it was the boy who looked at him when he entered the village just now.

At this moment, the boy was holding his stomach, and when he saw her suddenly, his sallow face suddenly turned red.

He knew that he was embarrassed to be like this now, but his eyes still couldn't help but look at the white grass root in the girl's hand.

He had eaten this thing, and it was very sweet, but unfortunately there was no grass root around the village now, otherwise he would have dug it earlier.

Seeing that he had been staring at the grass root in his hand, Shen Yusleeve raised his hand suspiciously and asked him, "Do you want to eat?" ”

When the boy saw her asking himself, he wanted to shake his head, but his throat swallowed subconsciously, which made him can't help but bow his head weakly.

He felt that his reaction was so embarrassing that he wanted something from a little girl.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Yusleeve bit his lip suspiciously, grabbed a handful of Mao Gen and climbed down the tricycle, pedaled out of the yard, ran to the boy, and generously held his palm to him.

"Here you go."

The boy looked at the grass root she handed to him, and then looked into her eyes, and saw that her eyes were full of sincerity, not like lying to herself, so he carefully picked up a white grass root from her palm, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.

It was a fragrant and sweet taste, and it quickly spread to his mouth and throat with the water he desperately needed in his body.

The boy chewed very slowly, as if he was eating some kind of worldly delicacy, chewing carefully, savoring slowly, until the chew was rotten, and then swallowed.

Shen Yusleeve saw that he actually swallowed Mao Gen, his eyes widened in shock, and he asked anxiously, "Can you still spit it out?" ”

"Huh?" The boy was stunned for a moment, then a little confused.

He thought that the little girl in front of him was regretting that he didn't want to eat it for himself, but the thing was already in his stomach, how could he vomit it?

What's more, he didn't want to vomit out, and now his stomach was an empty temple of five internal organs, and this little thing was like he hadn't eaten at all.

Shen Yusleeve saw that he didn't speak, and explained to him a little embarrassed.

"Grandma said that you can just chew the sweet water, and the grass root can't be swallowed, and you won't be able to pull out the poop." Shen Yusleeve said what her grandmother had warned her, but then waved her hand and said, "But it should be fine, I swallowed it when I just ate, and grandma said that it doesn't matter if you don't swallow it in the future." ”

When the boy heard her explanation, his heart was relieved.

How could he not know that this root could not be swallowed? It's just that the relief food distributed in the village is all from my father, and my father said that my sister is a money-loser, and I want to give my sister to a lame man as a daughter-in-law, so as to save some food for the family, but my mother refuses to live or die, so my father will no longer give my mother and sister food.

He was afraid that his mother and sister would starve to death, so he secretly gave his own food to his mother and sister, and now he was so hungry that he subconsciously swallowed it when he encountered food, so as to cushion his empty stomach, but he forgot that this thing could not be swallowed.

The boy was a little embarrassed and just wanted to explain to Shen Yusleeve, but his stomach suddenly grunted again without warning, which startled him inexplicably, and then lowered his head in embarrassment.

He didn't want to be so embarrassed, but his stomach was not obedient at all.
