Farm Widow: Pick up a husband to open up wasteland and farm

Chapter 2
Before it was completely dark, Zhang Xiaolan found two thicker tree trunks and handed them to the siblings. The night in early summer was not too cold to avoid stepping on snakes. The two brothers walked forward following her movement of beating the grass with the tree trunk.

"Mother, don't worry, my brother and I will act like mother."Zhang Qincai spoke obediently.

Zhu Zi also said "um", as long as the mother is sober, he and his sister will trust the mother unconditionally.

Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but be satisfied, the two children still have a tacit understanding with her, without her making a lot of gestures, otherwise it would be really tiring to be dumb.

Although the mountain was not safe, Zhang Xiaolan walked towards the vague scene in the mountain with the unique memory of waking up. There was no accident, she and her two children would live in that cave tonight.

Following closely along the way, seeing that a lot of bark in the mountains has been peeled off, it seems that the wild beasts in the mountains will not come over, so it is much safer.

"Mom, where are we going?"Zhu Zi couldn't help but said, the more he walked in, the more scared he became.

Zhang Qincai hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid of Zhuzi, there are mother and sister here."

Zhang Xiaolan turned her head and smiled at Huzi to show him not to be afraid.

Until it got dark, Zhang Xiaolan finally led the two to the entrance of the cave.I couldn't help but excitedly stepped forward to check the appearance in the cave, and it was exactly the same as the scene in my mind.

She took out the earthen pot from the bag with ease, and took the earthen pot to the edge of the stone crevice in the cave to catch water.

The siblings were a little confused, how did mother know there was such a cave?

Without time to get to the bottom of it, Zhang Qincai hurried to the entrance of the cave and picked up a lot of branches of different thicknesses.

Looking at the environment in the cave, Zhang Xiaolan found that although it was not good, it was much more spacious than her original two thatched cottages, and it was not bad to have a shelter from the wind and rain.

Looking up, I saw the two children came back with two bundles of firewood. They picked up the earthen pot filled with water and moved it aside. Then they put the empty pot that was prepared in front of them to refill the water, and then they hugged the full pot firmly. water, found a spacious place to sit down.

Zhang Qincai picked up two small stones in his pocket neatly, rubbed them together and started a fire.

"Woo woo woo".

Seeing his mother's gesticulation, Huzi lifted his sister's burden, took out the only iron pot in the house, and said, "Here it is."

Zhang Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and found a few stones of similar size in the cave, and put them one by one on the edge of the fire, then picked up the iron pot and put it on top of the fire with satisfaction, and poured the water in the pot into the pot.

Through the flames around the iron pot, looking at the rippling and stable water surface in the pot, I was really shocked. Although it was blurry, the face was too ugly, and most of the birthmarks on the face really made me feel uncomfortable. Dare to face it, she couldn't help but wonder how the two children's fathers went down.

Resisting her shock, she took out a few handfuls of wild vegetables that she picked up from the mountain just now in her pocket, and handed them to her daughter. Zhang Qincai happily took them, got up and went to the place where the water was collected just now, cleaning the mud on every leaf.

After seeing his mother take out those handfuls of wild vegetables, Huzi finally felt relieved, and squatted obediently on the ground to watch the fire.

After the few buns that were left were snatched by a few refugees during the day, he was worried that they would starve to death. Fortunately, it was normal for the mother to wake up this time, otherwise he was really afraid that it would be like this. starving.

"Mom, are you cold, I'll put it on for you."Thinking about this, Huzi was worried that his mother would catch the cold, so he hurriedly found a coat from his pack and put it on her.

Zhang Xiaolan was stunned by the behavior of this half-grown child...

"Mom, it's finished washing, I just put it in." Zhang Qincai bent over to put in the wild vegetables, and squatted down.
