The sixteen households had made a lot of money from the village, and they couldn't afford to pay for the children's milk disaster. However, when they saw Old Mrs. Yang in the yard, Widow Xie's heart suddenly rose in her throat.
fell down.
As long as Aunt Yang is here, the children don't dare to mess around.
"You are back," Mrs. Yang said, raising her head and looking at the sky. "Today we are just making cheese. The food is not ready yet. You go back and make things for yourself."
Old Mrs. Yang and the others who stayed in the village these days always prepared meals for them to wait for when they came back. But now, Old Mrs. Yang and the others also had cheese to make. The Yang family's stove was never idle and they couldn't spare any time to cook.
Food.
The situation changed every day, and soon the village was running out of manpower.
This is a good thing.
Widow Xie said: "Don't worry, ma'am, I'll go back and take a look soon. I'll make some more and send them to you."
As she spoke, Widow Xie looked at the children. They had already drank all the contents in the bowl and were licking the bottom of the bowl.
"Mom," Widow Xie said, "What are the babies eating?"
Mrs. Yang said: "The whey pressed out when making cheese, Sister Luo..."
Widow Xie said with a smile: "After you left, Madam, many people came to ask questions, for fear that you would not be able to go tomorrow."
Zhao Yuanrang's face was filled with joy and he immediately held the bow in his arms.
"No need," said Mrs. Yang, "life is difficult now, so we have to support each other like this. If you have money in the future, you may not be willing to eat this."
Everyone was even more grateful and didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Yang said: "Sister Luo knows what she is doing. Besides, when the people in the village are making cheese, I show them how much cheese can be made from one earthen pot, and they are all willing to do it."
Shi Jiu said: "It's good to give you arrows like this, so as not to be discovered by outsiders and bring disaster to the village."
Zhao Yuanbao drank half the bowl in one breath and felt better. However, he couldn't care about anything else and immediately took a second bite.
While the two were talking, everyone walked into the courtyard one after another, and everyone could hear them clearly.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly." Ge Shi poured water and put it to Zhao Yuanbao's mouth.
Zhao Luoyang picked up an arrow and looked at it.
Everyone in the Yang family smelled a different aroma, so they all looked at Ge Shi.
There are seven bows and a wooden box of arrows in total.
Zhao Yuanrang coveted the bow and arrow and couldn't put it down when he held it in his hand. Hearing these words, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Xueli: "Dad, can we keep an extra bow at home?"
In this case, Luo Zhenniang felt at ease.
Ge Shi immediately said: "My mother and Sister Luo have made peace with each other a long time ago. I just helped bake it. When I was making it, I also noticed something was different. I thought it was the frankincense cooked in the big pot next to it."
Shi Jiu was about to praise the people in the village, but he didn't say anything when he heard Cha Shuo's name.
Zhao Luoyang had just returned from delivering pancakes to Mr. Song. When he entered the room, he heard these words and said with a smile: "There is whey in it, so the taste will definitely be different."
The sweet taste immediately spread in his mouth. Zhao Yuanbao was so fragrant that he forgot to chew it and swallowed it with a gulp, then choked and burped.
"By the way, Erhei and Badger Lang drank the most."
Widow Xie said: "You brought this milk back, but you gave it to everyone..."
Zhao Xueli thought for a while and responded: "Keep two at home and take the rest out."
Luo Zhenniang whispered to Zhao Xueli: "I just obey you. At such an old age, I will never lose to anyone."
This is not a favor, and Mrs. Yang is not trying to sell favors, but she has always been saying the same truth, that only by getting together and working together can we survive.
Shi Jiu said in his mind: "The arrow is made of stone, but if the stone is sharpened and the arm is strong enough, it will still be lethal."
After this meal, I felt full and my strength recovered a lot.
Zhao Xueli said: "You can use it to practice, but it's not for you to use."
Sister Xiang licked her lips and threw herself into Widow Xie's arms. She raised her little face and said, "Grandma Yang gave it to us, she didn't even have it herself."
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "We are making cheese, and we didn't say that even the pressed whey has to be returned. Mom, just feel free to eat it."
If he could keep a few at home, he could touch them and practice them.
"This is my first time eating it." Tao also said.
Mrs. Tao blushed and was about to return the cake. Old Mrs. Yang said: "If he gives it to you, you take it. You are a twin, so he has to take care of you all the time."
Mrs. Tao nodded and quickly glanced at Zhao Xuejing. The previous unhappiness from her mother-in-law's family had all dissipated. She knew whoever was nice to her would not believe anything someone from her mother-in-law's family said, so even if she was worried about her mother, she would not follow her.
My mother-in-law's family is leaving.
That seems to make sense.
What are the good things? They can't eat eggs every day, which makes Jiao Da and his wife very worried. Now that they heard that the Yang family left extra food for their son, Jiao Da's eyes turned red.
Erhei is Shi Ping's younger brother. He was born before he was full term. When he was born, his body was black, his hair was sparse, and he was still small. He was given a nickname so that he could make a living easily. However, Erhei has not grown at all over the years, and he is still small.
Hei was thin and thin. Shi Ping saved all his own rations to feed Er Hei, so he didn't throw him on the road.
Mrs. Yang was just about to say that Sister Luo said it was a good thing. When the words came to her mouth, the strings in her mind fluctuated and she immediately stopped. Sister Luo told outsiders that she was the one who knew how to make cheese.
You can't say anything wrong at this time.
"Sister Luo said to give it to the babies to drink," Mrs. Yang continued, "This stuff is really good. It comes from cow's milk. Drinking it will make you strong."
Jiao Daodao: "How about we give you some money?" How can this always happen?
"I can't go anywhere," Old Mrs. Yang said, "I have to press the cheese many nights today, so that I can collect new ones tomorrow. I will bring more people there tomorrow, and I won't have to ask the people in the village to help.
Send it back."
Zhao Xueli said: "Sister Luo asked me to ask about bows and arrows. I told Cha Shuo and he sent these and taught me how to use them."
Luo Zhenniang looked at Zhao Luoyang and said, "Can we eat the milk from the village like this?" She knew that this idea must have come from Sister Luo.
Zhao Luoyang responded: "There must be iron arrow clusters in the village, but the court does not allow them to be used in the private sector, so they will not take them out openly."
The hot wild vegetable pancakes were served.
Everyone is fine and there is no trouble in the village. Isn't that much better than asking for money?
The sixteen families thanked each other again, and then the children took the bowls and followed their adults back home. Thanks to the widow, she didn't leave in a hurry to see if there was anything she could do to help.
Badger Lang was Jiao Da's son. He fell ill while on the road and was unable to take care of himself. It seemed that he was suffering from the disease. He would wake up in the middle of the night. Mr. Song checked his pulse and told him to eat more and eat more slowly.
Make it up.
After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Zhao Xueli, Zhao Xuejing, and Zhao Xueyi took out the things they got from the village and showed them to everyone.
Mrs. Yang waved her hand: "No need to talk about that. Now keep the baby close to you. In the future, we will make more cheese and give it to the older ones. Maybe one day all of us will be able to drink it."
Zhao Yuanbao had been greedy for a long time, but he never reached out. He only waited until his mother had divided the cakes among everyone, then picked up his own piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Zhao Xuejing took a bite, broke off most of it and put it into Tao's bowl, and then went to get the leftover wild vegetable cake from yesterday.
Widow Xie nodded and helped Old Mrs. Yang get firewood.
The Yang family's meals were all prepared, but Old Mrs. Yang was still in the kitchen and refused to come out. It was not until the milk was cooked that Old Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Mrs. Yang said: "My family has many hands and I don't need you. Go back and take care of Sister Xiang!"
Old Mrs. Yang said: "I'm not in a hurry to grow. What does it matter if I drink a few times?"
Zhao Yuanrang smiled and said, "I know."
Seeing Luo Zhenniang and Ge Shi both coming, Widow Xie had no choice but to agree.
Zhao Xueli said: "Now these few bows are enough for the people on patrol. My fourth brother made some wooden arrows according to the arrows given by the village, so that everyone can practice them on weekdays. These stone arrows are still kept in our house on weekdays. If anything happens,
Take it out when the time comes."
Zhao Luoyang's eyes lit up when he saw this, and Shi Jiu didn't expect to get these things so quickly.
It is not difficult to use a bow and arrow, but if you want to have a certain degree of accuracy, you need to practice regularly. The Zhao brothers also carried hunting bows before, but the ones they made themselves were incomparable to those given by the village.
Sixteen households called their children to their side, and the children kept talking: "It's sweet and delicious. Grandma Yang said that everyone should share the same amount."
The men of the Zhao family tasted the cakes baked with whey, and then left them with my mother, wife and children.
Looking at Zhao Yuanrang's smiling face, Zhao Luoyang didn't think of anything else. Shi Jiu secretly regretted that he should have asked Huaiguang to send some bows and arrows.
Zhao Xueli took a deep breath: "With this thing, I feel much more at ease in my heart. I have to let my fourth brother see if we can do it ourselves in the future. I think every household must have at least one, so what happens in the future?
, we won’t have the power to fight back.”
Those bandits they met on the road had only these. Zhao Xueli thought about Gao Lizheng's malicious eyes, didn't he think they were easy to bully?
When they get the right opportunity, they have to show what the Sixteen Households are capable of.
