The old lady was so angry that she didn't care about being tired and scolded her.
At this moment, An Qingyan, the eldest daughter of the An family, screamed, "Mother, what's wrong with you, mother?"
The sound was so loud that An Zicheng, who was anxiously looking for ways to defuse the fire, heard it.
At this time, they occupied a quite large yard and prepared to cook a meal of wild vegetables.
Obviously, when they separated, they told Xia Qiyue that there were only ten kilograms of water in the house, which was a lie to her.
"What's wrong?" An Zicheng dropped the firewood in his hand and ran back.
At this time, when fleeing from famine, there was no need to worry about men traveling far away to cook. Everyone had to work, otherwise they would not be able to eat quickly.
Old Mrs. An also heard it, but she said disapprovingly, "Come on, make a fuss! Are you fainting from hunger? I see how you can still make a fuss! You have ruined the fine food, so I think you will die!"
"
An Zicheng's expression was a little bad. After all, she was the mother of his child. If Liu Mei died, he would become a reckless man.
"Mom, give the stuttering person some saliva and save him!"
As soon as An Zicheng finished speaking, Mrs. An was at a loss for words. After all, An Zicheng was the eldest son in her heart, the son who allowed her to gain a foothold in Lao An's family. She had always been partial to this son, and she also
I love my eldest son's children, but I don't include my daughter-in-law An Qingyan, and certainly not my daughter-in-law Liu Mei.
The old man had been sitting by the side of the salute, and the old woman had no expression on his face for the whole time. Now when he heard what the eldest son said, he couldn't sit still.
"Give him water and steamed buns!"
Although Mrs. An wouldn't look down at her son, she wanted to feed her daughter-in-law, and Liu Mei was angry with her again today, so she was a little reluctant to give Anzi half a wild vegetable steamed bun and two or three mouthfuls of water.
city.
…
Xia Qiyue, on the other hand, followed the flow of people for a while and turned into a small alley at a corner.
It felt like no one was entering this alley, and the people in front of her were all running into the village, so in order to save trouble, she took her younger siblings and her children on their backs and entered the alley that no one was entering.
After walking for a while, there were still sounds of people boiling in the distance, but the small alley became quiet.
"Sister, it's so scary here..." Xia Yueyue was the first to speak out, a little scared, and her voice was trembling.
Why wasn't Xia Qiyue afraid? But faced with the fear of being compared with the gang of robbers from Lao An's family, she still chose this small alley.
"It's okay. There's nothing here. What are you afraid of? Let's find a house quickly and cook rice porridge!"
Xia Qiyue pretended to be calm to embolden them.
Xia Xinghe was not afraid. He walked at the front to clear the way, turning back from time to time and saying, "Watch your step."
Not long after walking, the first house in the alley was approaching. Xia Qiyue did not go in, but walked past several more houses before stopping in front of a courtyard gate.
Because the courtyard door is open, you can't see what's going on inside at all. Fortunately, this is the middle courtyard, and there are several houses on both sides of the alley, so it takes a lot of effort to find them. In addition, the courtyard door looks good, so close it.
Can I block some things later?
Everyone was gone, so the door was left open and unlocked, so they could easily get into the house.
But soon I heard the noise outside. Apparently, someone was already here.
"Sister, someone is coming next door!" After listening for a while, Xia Xinghe recognized that it was their neighbor and spoke.
"What are you afraid of? We have locked the door!" Xia Qiyue put down her backpack, turned around, and saw Xia Qiyue tinkering with the package for a while, then found an oil lamp and lit it.
Suddenly a dim yellow light illuminated the entire room, and what came into view was that there was only a bed and a small wooden table. There was not even a wardrobe in the room, and there were no bedding on the bed. It had obviously been taken away by the owner.
"Sister, there is nothing here..." Xia Jiuyue was stunned. She thought that there would at least be something.
"Don't we have it ourselves? In September, you and your two children are making beds in the house, and I will go out to see if there is a pot or something in the kitchen to cook rice porridge!"
Xia Qiyue arranged the work and was about to go out, but Ke'er held on to the corner of her clothes and looked at her pitifully.
"Hey, be good, rest with your aunt in the house, and mom will prepare something delicious for you!"
Xia Qiyue coaxed, but Ke'er didn't understand and still looked pitiful, "Mom..."
The hesitation to speak made Xia Qiyue somewhat confused about the child's thoughts. She patiently knelt down, looked at the little guy and asked her what was wrong.
The little guy hesitated for a while before saying, "Mom, Ke'er is scared, can you follow mom?"
Xia Qiyue couldn't laugh or cry, "Ke'er, be good, stay in the house with your aunt and rest on the bed for a while. My mother went out to cook. It's pitch dark outside. Isn't Ke'er more scared?"
The girl who had always been stronger than her brother was now becoming more coquettish and clinging to her mother.
Fortunately, Xuan'er, who was standing on the side, quickly came over and grabbed her sister. "Sister, be good. Come and wait with your brother. Mother is going to prepare delicious food for us!"
The two little ones usually have a very good relationship. When their brother said this, they immediately nodded obediently and followed him.
When Xia Qiyue went out, Xia Xinghe immediately followed her. Because the eldest sister didn't arrange anything for him, he just followed her and helped her if he needed anything.
Xia Qiyue was not polite to him and asked him to go find firewood.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw only a small pottery pot with a corner missing, and not even a bowl. Fortunately, there was a stove.
Before Xia Xinghe came over, Xia Qiyue quickly entered the space, harvested a crop of wheat, then planted another crop, and sold the remaining 48 kilograms of wheat to the system. She already had 132 kilograms in hand.
gold coins, plus the 144 gold coins just sold, for a total of 276 gold coins.
With a huge amount of money in hand, she generously bought four large white steamed buns and two eggs.
Originally there were three eggs in the space, and with this one now, there is one for each person.
The two little guys couldn't eat one steamed bun, so half was just right for each of them. The three siblings had one for each of them. They had been tired for so long, and although there was no big fish or meat, they could still eat a meal of rice porridge with steamed buns. Compared with others, it was already a big meal.
What a heavenly life.
She knew that everyone else was also exhausted, so they must take a rest first and eat dinner before they would be strong again. The same was true for Lao An's family, so she had to eat quickly, then lock the door and go to sleep. Try not to let Lao An's family find out.
You can do it yourself.
I took the steamed buns and eggs, and about three taels of rice to make room.
She doesn't have enough space to grow rice, so she plans to save the rice.
Refined grains are good for people's health. Not only the two children, but also the three siblings must take good care of their bodies, so I will keep this rice and cook rice porridge when I have the chance.
All the water in the space added up to only six kilograms, and she didn't dare to destroy it all. If it still smelled bad and she couldn't get ten kilograms of water tonight, it would be difficult for her, so she left two kilograms in the space.
Take four kilograms and cook porridge
The pottery pot was definitely not clean. There was a lot of dust in it. She just wiped off all the dust first, washed the pot with a little water, and then started cooking the porridge.
