Nan Mengyu stopped Wang Yingying: "Forget it, the basket on my back is full of herbs. Don't crush them. Just put them outside for now."
"Well, put it in when you leave." Wang Yingying said.
The old lady's eyes turned a little red when she looked at the bag of grain: If she had such a bag of rice at home, mixed with sweet potatoes, taro, wild vegetables, etc., she would definitely be able to survive this famine.
However, what is the most precious thing at this time is food. But that belongs to the guests. No matter how much she wants, she cannot take it.
She returned to the kitchen, cut the sweet potatoes into cubes and put them into the pot. She also cut up half a pumpkin and put them into the pot. Finally, she grabbed a small amount of rice with three fingers and put it in.
Wang Yingying shouted toward the inside: "Mom, there are guests here, please cook more."
The old lady was startled for a moment, held back her heartache, grabbed another handful of rice from the rice vat with only five or six kilograms of rice left, and put it into the pot.
But I sighed secretly in my heart. This handful of rice is enough to eat for a day.
Wang Yingying poured tea for the two of them and said with a wry smile: "Oh, we were hit by a disaster this year, so I can only cook some pumpkin and sweet potato porridge to entertain you. I'm sorry."
Leng Xiangning hurriedly said: "Captain, don't say that. When everyone is avoiding our mother and daughter, you can invite us to your house for dinner. I am already very grateful." Then she said to her daughter: "
We can't eat their food in vain, let's save some rice for later."
Nan Mengyu nodded: "This is necessary."
Wang Yingying said quickly: "Why don't you save some rice? If your daughter hadn't told me that I was pregnant, I wouldn't have known when I would have a baby." She glanced at the two children who were doing homework with loving eyes.
.
Nan Mengyu did not take the credit: "You can also discover it yourself, but I will help you discover it first."
Wang Yingying didn't see it that way: "At that time, we were engaging in double robbery. If you hadn't discovered it, I would have continued to engage in double robbery for a few more days. Maybe it would have been lucky that you had discovered it and immediately decided to take leave to raise the baby. Otherwise, the pair would have been in love.
Brother."
"That's your family's blessing." Leng Xiangning said hurriedly.
In the evening, they were arranged to live in a wing room, and Wang Yingying took out a new quilt for them to use.
But in fact, Nan Mengyu and Leng Xiangning took out the hut, placed it only as big as a door, and entered it. They are now practicing in the hut at night. One night outside, there were thirty-five people in the hut.
At night, ah, no, after Nan Mengyu's skill improved, the time formation has been adjusted again, and it is already forty times the speed.
Anyway, both of them have lived long enough, and they are not afraid of getting old as they practice.
After everyone fell asleep, Nan Mengyu left the hut and went to the bed outside. When her consciousness swept out, she heard a sound coming from the main room.
The speakers were Wang Yingying’s father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"The village chief is really nothing, yet he wants to drive these two women away."
"Well, the village chief also thinks about the whole village. He doesn't want two more people to eat. The little food the village has is reserved for life-saving use at critical moments."
"But these two ladies brought so much food with them."
"Yes, there is so much food, it can last until next year. But, I'm afraid they haven't told the village chief."
"Hey, what do you think, let's keep them? Anyway, they have their own food."
"No, people will think that we are keeping them for her food. I tell you, you are not allowed to take advantage of their food."
"I know that their food belongs to them. Although we don't have much rice left, we still have hundreds of kilograms of sweet potatoes and a dozen large pumpkins. There is always a way to prevent us from starving to death.
The higher-ups won’t let it go like this, there will definitely be relief food provided, if you don’t have enough talent, it won’t be too much.”
"No matter what, we can't take advantage of the two of them for food."
