There are mines in the hands of the age of rebirth

Chapter 18

"Oh, is the roasted bird ready?" Jiu Bao exclaimed excitedly while sniffing his little nose.

"What roasted bird is cooked?" Xiao Mu asked.

"Let's go out." Jiu Bao smiled and got off the kang, put on his shoes and rushed to the outer room.

Xiaomu also hurried out.

I saw Goushengzi move a three-legged brazier out of nowhere, with a grill on it, and two fist-sized birds on the grill. There is really not much meat. It looks pitiful, but it tastes delicious. Extremely.

Maodan next to him was sitting on a small bench, with two big watery eyes staring right at the two little birds that his brother kept turning over.

"Xiao Mu, come here quickly." After Jiu Bao finished speaking, he skillfully took out two small benches from under the cupboard, one for himself to sit on and the other for Xiao Mu.

Xiaomu really doesn't understand: These few pieces of goods are more familiar with his own house than himself.

"Xiaomu, come and sit down, and eat bird meat later." Mao Dan said, "I haven't eaten bird meat for a long time, it's so delicious!"

Gou Shengzi didn't speak, just bowed his head to roast the meat, the smell was bursting.

"Xiao Mu, when we went out to get the brazier just now, we saw that your pig was gone, and there was only one chicken left, which was the big rooster. Did you not pen the chicken last night? Your big cock lost all its feathers. It must be Lao Huang who has come, and I have never beaten your big cock, otherwise your big cock will be taken away by Lao Huang, that would be a pity, it is so meaty!" Mao Dan held the tongs in his small hand while fiddling with the charcoal fire , Said in a childish voice like a little adult.

Xiaomu felt guilty for a while, she wasn't here at all last night, okay?

"What? You said there are only roosters left, and the hens are gone? The pigs are gone?" Jiu Bao asked.

"The only living thing in the backyard is a big rooster. Why are you so fierce? I didn't take it away." Maodan said a little bit wronged, looking at Jiubao eagerly with big eyes.

"Your mother is too ruthless, what is it called, what is it? What did the teacher say: don't leave a blade of grass?" Jiu Bao shouted.

"Just now I wanted to get some broken rice to pick up a few more birds. When I opened the tank, there was only a little sorghum rice and corn hawthorn seeds left. There was no grain of white rice, and even the jar of meat oil was gone." Mao Dan As expected of tomorrow's gossip star, Xiaomu has a clear picture of her family's situation.

Xiaomu clicked his tongue. The three pieces of goods were very clear about his family's situation. It seemed that they were also regular customers and old drivers.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Xiaomu, is your mother a stepmother? You were picked up by your father." Jiu Bao said.

Xiaomu tightened his ripped padded jacket tightly, speechless.

"God leftover, do you have to wait for a while?" Jiu Bao asked.

"You can't eat raw ones, can you?" Gou Shengzi gave Jiu Bao a blank look and said.

"Xiaomu, let's take a closer look. What did your mother leave for you? Is there something we haven't seen? Don't wrong her." After finishing speaking, Jiu Bao took Xiaomu to check the whole house again. The inspection was very careful, and finally, the two disappointed little guys summed it up: the food was only a dozen catties in total, a set of salutes, and the two hunting weapons commonly used by Guan Dahu, a rooster, and nothing else , clean up.

Jiubao looked at Xiaomu with a sad look; Maodan looked at Xiaomu with sympathy; Goushengzi roasted the little bird seriously.The room was instantly quiet.

"Do we still have a teacher? Are you going to school? Is there a school here? Do I go to school too?" Xiaomu asked carefully.

"Also forget that?" Jiu Bao looked at Xiao Mu sadly, "We go to school together, we still have Mao Shengzi, and there are several nasty poor children in the village, we are all in school this year, the first grade of primary school .”

"Oh, I'm still a primary school student? Then why don't I go to school now?" Xiaomu asked again.

"It's winter vacation when it snows heavily." Jiu Bao said.

"Oh!" Xiaomu...

"Xiaomu, your family has no food. What does the chicken eat? It's hungry." Mao Dan reminded.

"Oh!" Xiaomu stood up, "Modan, why don't you ask me what to eat, what do you only think about the chicken?" Xiaomu teased.

"I...I..., why don't we kill the chicken, there's a lot of meat, and there's meat to eat." Mao Dan suddenly said with bright eyes.

"Oh!" Xiaomu was speechless for a moment.

"Could you not want to eat? You are a foodie." Gou Shengzi said.

"That's right, stinky egg, do you order anything else besides eating?" Jiu Bao scolded.

"No." Maodan said decisively.

"Xiao Mu, what do you think you should do now? The pretty flowered padded jacket is gone, and the food is gone. Look at what you're wearing now. It's the ragged padded jacket Brother Big Hu wore when he was working, and the shoes are also ripped. " Sitting there, Jiu Bao wrinkled his worried face, and pulled Xiaomu's ragged cotton jacket in disgust.

Xiaomu was speechless again: Broken shoes?who?

"Her mother won't be so ruthless, she will leave some for her anyway. I haven't gone to the cellar yet, I'll go and have a look later, maybe I put the grain in the cellar to prevent Lao Guan's family from robbing." Zizi said with a blank expression while looking at his little bird meat.

"I don't think there are many. The old lady said: Old Mrs. Zhao has a dark heart. She comes here to get things, and your uncle and uncle have come here several times, all behind their backs. " Mao Dan said.

"You know, you know, why didn't you say it earlier?" Gou Shengzi said.

"The old lady just said it, and I just heard it too." Mao Dan said.

"Why did your grandma say this in front of you? What else did she say?" Jiu Bao asked.

"My grandma was talking to my great-grandpa, and I was playing next to him, so I listened to it. The grandma also said: Be careful of Lao Guan's family, Xiao Mu will be sold by Lao Guan's family. Poor Xiao Mu!" Maodan said loudly, "However, Xiao Mu, don't be afraid, I will protect you!" After speaking, the little hand made a firm gesture, but his eyes looked straight at the bird.

"You foodie, protect yourself, don't let the kidnappers take you away!" After finishing speaking, Mao Shengzi rubbed Maodan's head vigorously.

"The meat is ready, let's eat the meat first." Gou Shengzi finally roasted the meat. The bird meat is really extraordinary, or there is a saying: I would rather eat a bite of a bird than half a catty of a beast.

Gou Shengzi skillfully chopped the meat into four pieces on the cutting board, and then shared one piece with each of them, and the three of them ate it up.

Xiaomu looked at the blackened meat charcoal in her hand, and couldn't put it down. Even in the most difficult time of the last days, she had never eaten such a scary thing. Although the taste was good, the appearance was really miserable.
