Chapter 56

Moreover, wheat bran does not require food coupons, and you can buy it in the brigade as long as you pay.

Chen Xiangyang thought for a while and said cheerfully: "Okay, but there are not many wheat brans. I can give you 60 kilograms evenly. I can save some money and eat them for a while. Mushui, you will go to the brigade to get wheat bran tomorrow. Lao Suntou's side should be able to reply to me tomorrow at noon. At that time, I will directly ask someone to pull the wheat bran to Lao Suntou's house, which will save trouble."

Chen Xiangyang thought about Mushui very thoughtfully.

"Okay, then I'll go find you at noon tomorrow." Mu Shui saw that after a while, everything had been arranged in an orderly manner by Mu Xiu, and the big stone in his heart fell down, and he felt relieved.

"Village Party Secretary, thank you. I'll trouble you this time." Mu Xiu was really grateful to Chen Xiangyang.

"It's all from the same village. I haven't helped you to separate the family." Chen Xiangyang said embarrassedly, because this is an internal conflict in the family. From his position, he could only mediate and persuade him to make peace, otherwise Liu Yaomei would not look good on his face.

"You have helped us a lot, and you have your difficulties, and we all understand." Mu Xiu looked sincere.

"Oh... you wait." Chen Xiangyang felt even more uncomfortable after Mu Xiu's words. He turned around and entered a room. After a moment, he took out a cloth bag and handed it to Mu Xiu.

"This is 5 kilograms of noodles. You can take them to eat them first. The harvest in the fields this year is not good, and no one gets much grain. My family has added another person this year, and the food in their hands must be calculated to eat." Chen Xiangyang sighed. Yingwu Village is the poorest village among the ten miles of towns. Even if he is the village party secretary, he lives a little better than ordinary farmers.

After Mu Xiu took the flour and expressed his gratitude to Chen Xiangyang, the father and daughter left.

Looking at the two parents who walked out of the house, Chen Xiangyang shook his head and turned back to the room.

Mu Xiu and Mu Shui returned to their temporary residence. Zhou Shuilian was already asleep in her arms. Fortunately, they had eaten in the old house in the past at night. Although they were not full, they were better than being hungry.

"Xiu, you can sleep with your mother and sister. I'll lie next to you for a while." Mushui still loves his wife and children very much.

"Dad, I'm not tired now. You can sleep for a while. There is a bamboo forest here. I'll see if I can dig some wild vegetables or bamboo shoots, otherwise just 5 kilograms of noodles will not be enough to eat, and we will soon go hungry." Mu Xiu pointed to the bamboo forest not far ahead and said.

"It's dark, it's not safe, I'll go with you." Mu Shui just sat down and heard Mu Xiu's words, he immediately stood up again.

"Just just a few steps away, I'll call you if you hear anything, but you can hear it. You'll stay. Looking at my mother and Xiaohua, I'll be back soon." How could Mu Xiu let Mu Shui follow her? She still had to take out something from the space.

Before Mushui could speak, Mu Xiu took the flashlight, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, which contained a bamboo knife, and then walked towards the bamboo forest.

Mushui watched Mu Xiu walk into the bamboo forest, and he could vaguely see her shaking figure here, so he no longer forced himself to sit down again, just opened his eyes wide and kept paying attention to the movements on Mu Xiu at any time.

When Mu Xiu came to this bamboo forest, she just talked casually to see if there were any wild vegetables and bamboo shoots. She just took out the bamboo shoots in her space, and took out some quail eggs.

But unexpectedly, there are actually a lot of bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest.

Mu Xiu leaned over and started chopping. These bamboo shoots, cooked in water, can also fill their stomachs. Soon, a small slope of bamboo shoots piled up appeared on the ground. These looked enough to eat for a few days. Anyway, the bamboo shoots were here and they couldn't escape. So cut this little today.

Mu Xiu squatted down and began to simply process the bamboo shoots, peeling off the black shells outside until the white and tender hearts of the bamboo shoots inside were exposed before putting them into the bamboo basket.

After doing all this, she took out bread and ham sausage from the space. She didn't eat much at night. After doing these things, her stomach was so hungry that she gushed. Mu Xiu put the food into her mouth and drank another pack of milk. Then she felt that her stomach was full... Mu Xiu took out twenty quail eggs from the space and put them in a bamboo basket.

After walking for two steps, Mu Xiu thought about it, took out a small bag of dried sweet potatoes and put them in the bamboo basket, and then walked towards Mu Shui.

On the way, I saw a pine needle tree, which broke a few small branches and brought them back together.

When Mushui saw her daughter come back, she relaxed.

"Dad, see what I got? We have something good to eat tomorrow morning." Mu Xiu put down the bamboo basket, Mu Shui glanced inside, and showed a surprised expression.

"So many bamboo shoots, and quail eggs? Show, you are so lucky." Mushui counted the quail eggs with a happy face.

"This place is very remote, and people usually don't come, so I'm going to meet you."

"However, people still eat these bamboo shoots when they are tender. These are all old bamboo shoots. Even if they are peeled only, they still have difficulty eating them. They will still be chewed and still have firewood when they are chewed." Mu Shui said while putting down the bamboo shoots. No wonder Mu Xiu could find so many of them. They are all old and can't eat them, and no one wants them.

Of course, Mu Xiu knew that fresh bamboo shoots can be boiled in salt water and mixed into dishes with cold. If you are slightly older, you can make bamboo shoots and duck soup, old hens stew bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots and beef, etc. However, this must be made with meat to taste good...

Now, no one has any meat to eat...so, these old bamboo shoots are usually not touched.

However, these are of great use to Mu Xiu.

"Dad, this time I went to the provincial capital and learned how to make spicy and sour bamboo shoots with an old lady. The taste was very good. I wanted to try to make it. There was no food at home anyway..." Mu Xiu said softly.

"Dried sour and sour bamboo shoots?" Mushui asked in surprise.

"It doesn't cost anyway. If it's done, it can be eaten as a dish. Dad, hurry up and get up to pick up some firewood in the morning." Mu Xiu yawned.

"Okay, let's go to bed first." Mushui was also a little tired.

Mu Xiu lit the pine needles he just picked up. Although it was late autumn, there were still many mosquitoes. The smell of pine needles could deworm. In this way, the family of four spent the night among the broken walls and tiles.

Mu Xiu opened his eyes in the morning and saw Mu Shui walking outside, and Zhou Shuilian was feeding the flowers.

"Xiu, you're awake." Mu Shui heard the movement and turned her head to see Mu Xiu open her eyes.
