After being scolded like this, Liu Mei was so frightened that she was speechless and retreated.
Seeing this situation, Xia Qiyue didn't stay long. After taking a look at the dark-faced Lao An family behind them, he took his younger brother and younger sister and hurried past the crowd to where the patriarch's wife, Aunt Wang, was.
Liu Mei actually saw Xia Qiyue leaving, but she didn't care about Xia Qiyue and the things in her hands at all. She could only flee back to where Lao An's family was in disgrace.
Aunt Wang had been sitting under the shade of a tree with her two children. When Xia Qiyue arrived with her two younger brothers and sisters, An Qingke and An Qingxuan were looking at her anxiously.
Aunt Wang wouldn't let them go far, so they could only sit in the shade of the tree and worry.
Next to them is the patriarch’s family.
The patriarch has four sons, but only the eldest is married. The eldest son An Youcai’s wife is still six months pregnant. The other three sons are not married yet.
"mother……"
"mother……"
When the two little guys saw their mother approaching, they immediately stood up. It was impossible to run over. They didn't have much strength. Although they had been feeding the two children with wild vegetables, steamed buns and water, it was of no use at all.
, the two of them were still weak.
Xia Qiyue took a few steps forward and knelt down. Each of them touched one head and smiled, pointing at Xia Yueyue and Xia Xinghe and introducing them to the two children. "Be good, call me aunt and uncle!"
"From Zichen's family, are you taking over your younger brothers and sisters? Are you... can you take care of this?"
Before the two children could call for help, Aunt Wang asked with some worry. She also had a direct character who couldn't hide things in her heart.
The younger brother and sister, who were already a little frightened by being watched along the way, became even more frightened when they heard these words.
If the eldest sister doesn't want them anymore, what will they do? Although Xia Jiuyue is fifteen years old and Xia Xinghe is ten years old, they have never been out and have never been to the town.
If the villagers fled the famine, they would surely be blinded.
Xia Qiyue glanced at the expressions of her younger siblings calmly, and then waved her hand, "Hi... my grandparents over there separated from my parents, and they didn't take in the two children. As the eldest sister, I can only
Bring it back first, otherwise what will happen? Thank you Aunt Wang for helping me take care of the child."
After saying that, he waved to his brothers and sisters who looked worried and frightened, "Come here and see you two little nieces and nephews!"
The relaxed expression on his face was also intended to give his younger siblings peace of mind.
Xia Jiuyue had met the two children, not once or twice, but she had never spoken to the two little guys face-to-face. Hearing the eldest sister's relaxed tone, she hurriedly came forward carrying the package, although her face was still a little embarrassed,
But I still smiled and went to say hello to the two children.
Xia Xinghe's personality was more introverted. He didn't know how to greet the two children at all, so he just stood next to his sister and looked at the two children with a naive smile.
An Qing is a sweet-tongued little loli. Even though she now looks like she has no flesh on her body, her cheeks are sunken, and her eye sockets are sunken and a bit dry, she is still very cute when she laughs.
"Auntie, hello uncle!" The little guy looked at the two of them obediently and greeted them.
The voice was not loud and weak, but it was not impolite.
As an elder brother, An Qingxuan was not rude and said hello immediately.
"Okay, let's rest for a while and be on the road soon. We're so tired!" Xia Qiyue waved her hand and looked at Aunt Wang and said hello, "Aunt Wang, let's go to the small cave over there to rest for a while and let the two of us rest for a while."
Let the children sleep, and they are tossing so much that they can’t stand it anymore!”
Although no one is rich now, and they don't have much when they are running away from home, Aunt Wang still looks down upon her husband. She glances at her man. After their eyes met, they both nodded, and Aunt Wang spoke.
"It's July. Although my aunt has too much time to take care of herself, I can still afford a meal for you. You can take the children to have a meal with us at noon! Give the children something decent to eat too!"
When she said this, her daughter-in-law Liu Jiajia looked a little strange, but only Xia Qiyue noticed.
She knew that Aunt Wang had good intentions, and she also knew that the decent lunch that Aunt Wang mentioned was just a meal of wild vegetables, but it was already decent, because there was a lack of water now, so a rich family could make a meal of wild vegetables.
Already.
The patriarch's family also enjoys a comfortable life because they have several eldest sons.
Xia Qiyue waved her hand, "No, aunt, I'd be very grateful if you could help me take care of the baby for a while. We still have food. Besides, my sister-in-law is pregnant, so I need to give her more supplements! Let's go there first."
, it will be too late in a while.”
At this time, a mouthful of food could mean a life. How could she take five members of her family to eat here?
As he said that, he picked up his son with one hand and put it into the backpack beside him. Just as he was about to pick up his daughter, his sister Xia Jiuyue spoke.
"Sister, let me carry one."
Xia Qiyue shook her head. She couldn't carry it now. They were too weak. She was afraid of throwing Ke'er. She really didn't know how they got here in the past few years.
It is estimated that the money used to sell her was taken away by the original owner's grandparents, and it did not fall into the hands of her parents at all.
She put Ke'er into the basket and called to her siblings, "Let's go!"
Then he took the lead and led the way towards the cave.
The people in Lao An's family were busy scolding Liu Mei at this time, and had no time or excuse to come over to ask for food and water.
After all, the seven aunts and eight aunts are all on the line. They are all busy making lunch, but they still keep their eyes on Lao An's house.
Anyone who dares to go and look for Xia Qiyue will definitely have a hard time and be drowned in saliva.
Xia Qiyue was enjoying her leisure time, but Liu Mei, the brainless scolder, was so offended this time that even Mrs. An didn't dare to come over and ask for something from her.
When we arrived at the cave, it was quite cool and comfortable. After Xia Qiyue put down her two children, she just turned around and saw Xia Yuiu opening the package he had been carrying and taking out the contents.
"Sister, our rations are distributed by grandma, so we don't have much food with us, but we still have some water. This is the water that dad secretly hid. Now I leave it to you to distribute it! And the fine grain and water we got today
, it’s all up to you.”
The fifteen-year-old child is already very mature. She knows that now, if their siblings want to follow the eldest sister, then the eldest sister is the head of the family, and they must obey the eldest sister's arrangements unconditionally.
Xia Qiyue did not show any pretense to them and took the water. It would be safer to leave it here.
"You four, go and sit down over there, let's have lunch now!"
Everyone gives the first order.
I saw everyone, including the two little ones, go over and sit down obediently.
Xia Qiyue looked at the entrance of the cave and saw that no one was paying attention. She quickly took out the ten kilograms of water she got from the Lin family, then opened the stopper and handed it to her daughter who was closest to her.
"Drink, drink as hard as you can, until you are full, drink enough, drink enough!"
