Chapter 83 Peeling Peanuts

The food was all on the table, and Xia Qiyue didn't forget to put out a small plate of the cabbage and pickles she had pickled.

The white polished rice is paired with the soft and fragrant braised pork, and a mouthful of fried cabbage is delicious and moderate. It feels like it is delicious.

The two little guys said it was delicious, and they couldn't even hold the chopsticks well.

Xia Xinghe still ate the most. In the end, he mixed vegetable soup and braised broth with rice and ate it up.

Xia Qiyue changed back into her clothes, washed off her makeup, put away the space that should be stored, locked the door, and walked out of town.

She has been tossing and tossing for so long, but she is satisfied. Not only did she earn money, but she also ate two delicious meals, and there were apples to eat after the meal.

"Sister..."

But Xia Qiyue was happily reminiscing about the braised pork with her two children on her back, Xia Jiuyue pulled her sleeve and stopped.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Xia Qiyue turned around in doubt, because she didn't find anything unusual, and the front was quite normal.

However, Xia Jiuyue pointed to the two beggars leaning against the wall in front of her left, and said emotionally, "It's grandpa and grandma!"

When Xia Xinghe heard what the second sister said, he quickly turned his head to look over, and Xia Qiyue followed his sister's hand.

She was a little afraid to recognize people, if it wasn't for Xia Jiuyue's sharp eyes, she wouldn't have recognized the two people in front of her at all.

Thin and sloppy, her face was already thin and sunken, and her eye sockets were also sunken. How long has it been? The two people Xia Qiyue met when she first fled famine were also weak and thin, but they were not so exaggerated.

"Eldest sister..." Xia Jiuyue called out again when she saw that her sister was just watching and didn't respond.

She didn't know whether she should tell her eldest sister, but when she accidentally recognized the beggars in front of her as her grandparents, she couldn't hold back.

Xia Xinghe was only stunned for a moment, Xia Jiuyue had already recovered her expression when she spoke, and said coldly, "Let's go, big sister! We can't take care of it! If we take care of it, it will be troublesome!"

If the two beggars were not the original owner's real grandparents, if the grandparents treated the original owner in every possible way, if the two old people showed any kindness to the two siblings when the original owner's parents died, she Xia Qiyue It was impossible to watch two old men suffer like this.

They were the ones who brought all the hardships to Dafang's family, even the death of the original owner was a part of their contribution. If it wasn't because they sold the original owner, the original owner would not have met a sister-in-law like Liu Mei and was eventually beaten died.

"Let's go!" After listening to her younger brother's words, Xia Qiyue walked forward without hesitation, thinking of the indelible grievances in the memory of the original owner.

Xia Xinghe walked past his grandparents expressionlessly, without any nostalgia.

As long as he can remember, he has never been treated equally. Even though he is a boy, the good things at home will never fall on him.

I have to do the most tiring work with my parents, and I have to listen to my grandma scolding my mother and sisters when I come back. Didn’t my parents die because of my grandparents’ partiality?

If it wasn't for the grandparents who stopped a few uncles and aunts from helping, how could the parents be beaten to death?

Xia Xinghe and Xia Qiyue were able to pass by without changing their expressions, but Xia Jiuyue's eyes were red. Although she hated her in her heart, she still wanted to help her grandparents who were reduced to beggars like this.

Xia Qiyue saw it but didn't make a sound. She knew that her sister was timid, and she wouldn't dare to do anything without her speaking.

Sure enough, Xia Jiuyue didn't dare to recognize anyone after passing two people, and the three siblings walked past Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia without recognizing that they were their grandsons and granddaughters.

After returning to the place where the Zhuangzi lived in Shanbei, Mrs. An began to ask questions.

"If you don't come back again, my aunt will be searched for. It's almost dark. Where have you been? Are you really late?"

Xia Qiyue had a good explanation, and An Wang's complexion improved a bit, and he asked worriedly, "Have you eaten yet? The guard's daughter did serve porridge in the morning! But you have to go to get it yourself, and you all missed it." !"

"We've had dinner, auntie, don't worry about us! By the way, does the guardian daughter give porridge every day? I just saw that there are more and more victims here!" Xia Qiyue asked her discovery come out.

If this situation continues, will the guardian Qianjin not be able to do anything?
At that time, I still have to escape from the famine. Should I go to Anyang Mansion or go to the capital?
"Yeah, a lot of refugees came today, there is not enough at the porridge shed, and I have re-cooked a few pots, I don't know how many days I can last, oh... you guys don't waste money if you have money, what is ahead? I don’t know what it looks like yet! In case something happens, having silver in hand is also a life-saving tool!”

An Wangshi really regarded them as juniors, so she educated them earnestly and earnestly. Xia Qiyue also knew it, so she quickly nodded her thanks.

"Auntie who knows, we ate in the town today, why don't we take the food back here? Our side is not very safe..."

In fact, I want to say that it is troublesome to move around. The 200 catties of grain have passed through the Ming Road. Everyone knows that Xia Qiyue is not easy to store in the space, and the more than [-] big pancakes are just in the way. of.

"Okay, let's put it here! Go back and rest! It's cold at night, don't let the two children catch a cold!"

Before leaving, I didn't forget to ask them to sleep more alertly at night. Although it's not far from their home, they still have to be careful not to sleep too deeply!

Xia Qiyue responded one by one, and walked to her shed. It took less than half a day to build a simple shed. If it rains, it can't even cover the rain, but it is always a temporary place to stay.

I also forgot to bring back some quilts today, if only I could live in a rented house in the town, I am afraid that too many jealous people will cause trouble for myself.

They cannot be separated from the ethnic group, so they can only do their best to protect themselves.

It was still dark, and after Xia Qiyue and the others returned to the shed, looking at the peanuts carried in the basket, Xia Qiyue suddenly remembered a sentence that the lady who sold apples said when she was selling tea eggs during the day.

What was she talking about? She said that the lady of the Tang family, a big family in the town, likes to eat sweets, which reminded her of the kind of peanut brittle candies that grandma made for her when the new year came.

And it just so happens that she does too.

"You guys help me peel the peanuts, I'll use them tomorrow!" Xia Qiyue did it as soon as she thought of it, and it didn't take too much trouble. It happened that there were more than 140 catties of white sugar in the space, and she couldn't finish it even if she didn't use it. She sold them as crisp candies.

As soon as the two little ones heard that their mother would use it tomorrow, they rushed over quickly. Although Xia Jiuyue looked preoccupied, she still quickly started to peel the peanuts.

Xia Qiyue went to think about the crispy candy, and Xia Jiuyue took the other three to peel peanuts.

Five catties of peanuts are not too much, and they are not too much. They peeled them until dark, and they just finished peeling them.

But the fingers hurt badly, but the two little ones were called to eat apples by Xia Qiyue before peeling a few.

The three siblings shook their sore hands, Xia Qiyue swaggered the peanuts into the space in front of her siblings, when there was a noise outside.
