Chapter 20: Difficult

The Wu family treats them very considerately now, and specially asked Wu Zhijin to bring most of the pot of bacon and soybean soup over to add food to them.

The main reason is that Master Wu is worried that Xiao Youfu will not like him, so he will rob the poor and help the rich.

The rich are, of course, their Wu family.

And Xiao Youfu is too ruthless, walking with them, if he encounters bad people, his own safety is guaranteed.

But if Xiao Youfu hit his own head, he was also worried that his family would be wiped out.

This really worried him, and he felt that he was gambling with the life of his family.

According to Master Wu's observations in the past two days, he also found that Xiao Youfu has a gentle attitude towards his wife and daughter, and he is also kind to his parents and brothers, and he doesn't look like a master who will kill people if he disagrees.

Therefore, he also thought carefully about how to get along with the Xiao family.

After resting, not only did he often chat with the old man Xiao, but also asked his daughter-in-law to talk to the Liu family and the Wu family, and let the children also go to get close to the girls and boys of the Xiao family.

Just like before, I deliberately asked my youngest son to borrow a bow and arrow to hunt, but now I have an excuse to return the bow and arrow, and by the way, I will send the broth over as a thank you gift, so it will not seem that they are too low.

When Wu Zhijin came back, he was less restrained: "Xiao Dalang, they are going to put fish baskets in the river later, and they also gave us three fish baskets, are the eldest sister and second brother going to join in the fun?" ”

He himself was embarrassed to go again, he was already nineteen years old, and there were three girls in the Xiao family, so he had to avoid suspicion.

Wu Zhiqian is only sixteen years old, and he used to go out with his classmates to play, at most fishing, or let the little guys fish, but he really didn't have the opportunity to put the fish basket by himself, so he immediately became interested: "Sister, let's go and have a good time, right?" ”

"I'm tired, don't go." Wu Xiulian lazily refused, she was seventeen years old, and she was also at the age of saying goodbye.

However, their family was originally looking forward to Xu Zhijin's talent in the show, so the candidates for pro-family would be different.

Who would have thought that there would be chaos on Yuzhang's side?

Now that the court is in turmoil, I don't know who will sit on the dragon chair, so I can only go to my aunt first, hoping to settle down.

"Daddy, I'll go over and take a look." Wu Zhiqian was reluctant to have the opportunity to play, so he simply went by himself.

The fish basket is made of willow branches, which is not very beautiful, but everyone still had a good time, and then caught some grasshoppers and roasted them.

Xiao Xiao and the others definitely don't want to eat this, it's just a pastime for Dalang and them to be idle.

The next day, when the morning light was faint, everyone got up.

It's cooler at this time, so breakfast is a big pot of wild vegetable porridge and a dry tortilla per person.

I have to say that bacon is really a must-have good thing when going out, cut a few slices to cook porridge, and you can leave oil and salt.

It's just that the wild vegetables that are not tender enough are bitter to eat, and even the porridge boiled with good rice is not a little tasteful.

The corn in the tortilla is not ground enough finely, and it becomes more and more coarse when eaten, making it difficult to swallow.

There are also six fish baskets they put last night, and there are about three catties of small trash fish together.

Ignoring her mother-in-law's distressed face, Liu extravagantly fried it in oil and then cooked it, and the taste was delicious.

Xiao Saburo didn't even spit out the fish bones of the small miscellaneous fish, and after drinking the last bite of fish soup, he sighed with satisfaction: "It's still the eldest aunt's craftsmanship, the fish soup is not fishy at all, and it is delicious." ”

Xiao Erlang also nodded vigorously and agreed: "I hope I can catch more fish and shrimp next time, it's really delicious." ”

He went to put away the fish basket again: "I can continue to collect fish next time." ”

Xiao Lian sat on the mule cart, took a bite of the corn tortilla, and glanced at Xiao Xiao: "It's all your fault that you were going to eat wild vegetables yesterday, I can think of it, we are afraid that we will eat wild vegetables at every meal all this way." ”

Xiao Wei heard the words and spoke for the little sister: "Grandmother feels sorry for the rice noodles, even if Xiao Xiao doesn't say it, grandmother will think of this stubble." ”

Xiao Xiao also sighed: "We are still not fully prepared, and when we pass by the town, buy a small tandoor and clay pot, and we can get some food in the car." ”

Not to mention that Xiao Lian is not used to eating, she also finds it difficult to swallow.

It's been a hard day.

"Bear with me!" Liu handed them the gourd filled with cold boiled water, and said softly: "Eat a mouthful of bread, drink a mouthful of water, and you can swallow it." ”

He also said to them: "Now our life is not too difficult, your grandfather and grandmother encountered natural disasters and wars when they were children, and when they fled, they could only eat Guanyin soil." ”

"Later, some people brought corn, sweet potatoes, and potato seeds from overseas, which had a high yield and were good to feed, and after that, even in a disaster year, fewer of our people who relied on the sky for food died of starvation."

"Now that we're all out of the house, we don't know where to stay, so it's no wonder that your grandmother wants to save some food?"

Xiao Xiao also admired his predecessors in his heart, they came to let the people fill their stomachs.

As for myself, what can't I do?

She wasn't a picky eater anymore, chewed the tortillas, took another sip of tea, and swallowed it.

"I'll go down for a run and move my muscles." After speaking, he also put a bow and arrow on his back, and said to Xiao Youfu, who was dozing off on the wheel: "Dad, you stop the car for a while, and I'll go down for a while." ”

The speed of the mule cart is not very fast, and it can be caught up by sprinting.

When Xiao Xiao saw the birds flying by, she would shoot arrows with a bow, of course, with her current archery skills, it was impossible to hit.

She didn't want to be able to shoot either, just to get used to the bow and arrow.

Then there was the night before yesterday, although there were blisters on the soles of my feet and my muscles were sore.

Now endure the pain and walk more, and your body will be stronger.

Now that the future is uncertain, it is still important to have a good body.

Xiao Lian sat on the mule cart, watching her sister running like sweat, and couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You little fool, you won't enjoy it." ”

Xiao Xiao wiped his sweat with his hand: "I am exercising, and at the same time, I can learn archery, and I can also reduce the burden of mules, which is a lot of work." ”

Even if Xiao Lian sometimes doesn't speak well, she hasn't forgotten that when she woke up, it was the medicine she brought to herself, and she kept boiling wormwood water, so that she and Liu Shi could scrub with hot water at any time.

Moreover, she also wanted to ride herself in a mule cart.

Xiao Youfu heard the conversation between the two daughters, and although he felt sorry for the younger daughter, he still affirmed Xiao Xiao's approach: "You guys also come down and walk around, as long as you are not too tired, it is good to sweat a little." ”

It's not that he feels sorry for the mule, but he's afraid that he won't meet any villains in the future.

Although now they are also considered to have knives and cars, ordinary people dare not do anything to them.

I'm afraid that someone will look at their mule cart, it must be a small life, and if you can't beat it, you can run.

If the daughters can't run fast, it's miserable.

Liu also understood what he meant, so he and his daughters got out of the car and walked quickly for half an hour before returning to the mule cart.

When it was almost noon, they saw the station again.

The post station in front was almost wiped out, and this time everyone was very cautious, only to find out that there were no more errands inside, but there were three other families who walked together to rest inside.

Mrs. Xiao immediately instructed her daughters-in-law to help make lunch, let the grandchildren go to find firewood, and let the granddaughters go to find wild vegetables.

Xiao Youfu asked his nephews to go to the well to fetch water, and he went over to find out the news with those people.

Lunch was a rare sumptuous meal, with braised rabbit meat, bacon stewed soybeans, and a large pot of white rice.

Xiao Xiao felt in his heart that his grandmother was afraid that the rabbit meat would be spoiled if it was put down, so she made it for everyone to eat.

In addition, they don't have any fresh vegetables and vegetables, bacon, soybeans and rice, most of which are sponsored by the Wu family, and some are scavenged from the previous post station.
