"Wow! Sister, I really found the cantaloupe! He begged, he begged!"
Jiang Jie was so happy that he jumped on his feet and begged to eat melon.
Yuanbao Wei Zhan and Hu Zi were simply stunned.
Unexpectedly, Yingbao said that if you look for cantaloupe, you can find cantaloupe. If it is the same melon as that day, that would be amazing.
"Wow! It's very eggy!" Huzi's eyes lit up.
His house was burned down and the chickens were gone. Grandma said there would be no more eggs to eat. Unexpectedly, Yingbao went into the bamboo forest and found a basket of eggs.
"Haha! He begged for boiled eggs!" Huzi likes to eat boiled eggs the most and also likes to drink egg tea.
But now that there is no honey, the egg tea will definitely not taste good, so it will not taste like boiled eggs.
Yingbao picked a cantaloupe and handed it to Yuanbao, "Try one first."
Yuan Bao took it and pinched a few fingernail marks, cracked it open and distributed it to his brothers.
A few people just walked and ate together, and when they got home, they had already eaten two melons.
Yuan Bao still had more to say, so he took out a courgette from another basket and asked, "What is that?"
Yingbao: "Peg."
"Is it edible?" Yuan Bao put the courgette to his nose and smelled it: "It has a slight fragrance, but it tastes different from cantaloupe."
Yingbao: "It's edible. Youyou have already eaten one."
Not only did she feed it to Youyou, but she also chopped up Kuaishang’s courgettes and fed them to the chickens, which were very satisfying to eat.
The dozen or so chickens seemed to have grown very fat in the cave. Each chicken laid an egg every day and never stopped. In those days, dozens of eggs were picked up, filling two rice baskets.
Yuan Bao took a bite of the courgette and muttered: "It's good, not as sweet as the cantaloupe."
The children gathered around the deer and returned home. Jiang Jie immediately gave Chun Niang a cantaloupe: "Mom! Sister found the cantaloupe again!"
When Chun Niang saw the deer carrying two baskets full of melons and vegetables, she was so shocked that she became numb.
Does my daughter have some incredible luck? She finds melons one after another. That’s incredible.
"It's very eggy! My sister picked up a basket of eggs from the bamboo forest!"
Jiang Jie excitedly jumped around his grandma, "boiled eggs! He begged for boiled eggs!"
Chun Niang said "Oh", took the basket of eggs from the little girl's legs, and carried it to the kitchen.
Dani and Erni came over with surprised expressions on their faces: "Yingbao found the cantaloupe again? In which bamboo forest was he found it? He also begged to go."
Ying Bao silently handed them a cantaloupe: "Take us there after lunch, let's eat the melon first."
Chun Niang took out the courgettes from her basket one by one and asked, "What are they?"
"Peg, he bought some seeds from the seller and planted some over there in the bamboo forest. He forgot about them some time ago. I went to look for them just now and they actually produced a lot of them."
Ying Bao's face didn't turn red and her heart didn't beat. She was already making up lies as calmly as she could.
Chun Niang had no doubt at all and asked: "Is it very true?"
"There are quite a few. He will pick some back in two days." Yingbao helped her take out all the red vegetables and put them on the kitchen floor.
When the banditry incident subsided, she wanted to move out everything from her house one by one, and then pile it up in the bamboo forest to frame it for the banditry.
At that moment, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan pushed back the two large square tables in the bamboo forest, which were the only two pieces of furniture left in their home.
Fortunately, the two large tables were not left at home, otherwise they would have been burned down like other furniture.
With vegetables and eggs, the lunch meal is more substantial.
Yanru picked up a handful of garlic from the ground, mixed it with courgette slices to make a melon salad, and used red cabbage leaves to cook a pot of egg and vegetable soup. The red cabbage stems were also made into cold dishes, with some dogwood added to them, which was salty and spicy.
In addition, a large pot of red rice was cooked. After the red rice was put out, the rice crackers at the bottom of the pot were baked so crispy that each child broke off a piece and made a crunching sound.
Hu Zi and Jiang Jie were a little frustrated because they didn't get the hard-boiled eggs they longed for, and they could barely cook the rice.
Yingbao whispered: "Eat quickly, let's go pick up eggs again at noon."
The family situation was not very good, and they only ordered a few eggs. My mother-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't bear to cook one for everyone, so they made egg and vegetable soup.
Then she would pick up another basket and bring it back, then boil an egg for each of Huzi Yuanbao and his brother.
"Okay!" Huzi and his two younger brothers said in unison, quickly grabbing the rice.
At that time, there was a sudden noise outside the hospital, and it seemed that many people were coming.
Old Man Jiang was shocked, immediately picked up a sickle and rushed to the gate of the courtyard.
The courtyard door creaked open, and Jiang Sanlang stepped in first.
"Saburo!"
Old man Jiang grabbed his son excitedly and said, "You're back!"
Zaidong looked over: "How did it get like that? Are you injured? Where are Dalang Erlang and the others?"
Yingbao and her two younger brothers jumped up, rushed to their father and hugged his calves: "Dad! Daddy, I'm back!"
"Dad, am I hurt?"
Jiang Sanlang was now in a mess, his clothes were stained with dark red blood, and his hair was messy. He was no different from a refugee who had been fleeing for a long time.
He bent down and patted his children's little heads, and smiled cruelly: "Dad is not injured. Let's go play somewhere else. Daddy's clothes are bloody and very dirty."
Youcuo Chun Niang said: "Many people will come to eat soon. Do you have a lot of rice at home? Cook more rice for them."
Seeing her husband in such a mess, Chun Niang was so distressed that she even pulled her children aside and said, "We have a lot of rice. He will go and cook. I will go east to rest first."
After that, I put a bowl of rice for my husband and asked him to eat first before he left.
Jiang Sanlang had already washed his legs and face at the pond and walked east to pick up a bowl of rice.
He hadn't eaten properly for several days, so he devoured his food.
Zhou and Yanru heard that Dalang Erlang was back, so they ran out of the yard to look for him.
I saw a large group of people walking towards that direction one after another, some with injured people on their backs.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang also supported the two injured people, who looked fine.
Those people quickly entered Jiang Sanlang's yard. Ying Bao counted more than thirty people.
All of them were tired and tired from the journey. Not only were their clothes ragged, some even had no shoes.
Chun Niang and her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law went to wash rice and cook rice, and cooked two big pots.
As for the vegetables, Ying Bao just happened to bring back some red cabbage, so she boiled them in boiling water, added some salt and made them cold. She also sliced courgettes and cooked them cold.
After the rice was cooked, it was put into pottery bowls for more than thirty people. Dani went to pick up some broken bowls from the ruins, washed them and used them to serve the rice. She then folded a handful of branches to replace them with chopsticks.
Everyone didn't mind. They picked up their bowls, picked up the branches, and dug into the rice. They ate up the two large pots of rice in one go.
Not only was all the rice eaten, there was no crispy rice left.
After eating, most of the villagers walked back to the village. The injured people drank the medicine prepared by Yingbao and then returned to the village with the help of others.
Among them, Chen Yin, Wang Ke, Li Dayong, and Li Eryong did not go back.
They learned that their wife and children were on the south slope and went directly to find them.
"Sanlang, why did it take us so long to come back?" Old Man Jiang asked his son. "What did we eat in those days?"
"We were chased for dozens of miles by bandits. Later we hid in the mountains and forests, where we set up an ambush and killed many bandits."
Jiang Sanlang took a bite of the cantaloupe handed over by his wife and said with a proud smile: "Those bandits wanted to escape when they saw that the situation was not good, but we chased them back and killed them. It turned out that they were delayed for a few days."
He pointed to several weapons in the yard: "These were all lost, and he picked up a few of them because they were useful."
Old Man Jiang's face twitched and he looked at Dong's son, "How many bandits have we killed?"
He had never even killed a pig in all his life, but his son dared to kill people, and he killed a lot of people. In the past, this was something only a murderer could do.
