There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 175

Several other people also suffered from frostbite. Although they all woke up one after another, the time of waking up was short. Basically, they just ate something and drank the soup, and then they fell asleep again.

Lao Tongsheng's group of thirteen people lived in the same courtyard with Ji Hu and others, and they would help look after them on weekdays, but they lived in peace.

When Quan Quan and Jin came to deliver the food, Ji Hu was awake, sitting in front of the stove watching the fire boil the water.

Hearing someone open the door, he glanced sideways.

It was bright outside, but it was a little dark inside, and for a while, I couldn't see who was coming.

On the contrary, Qi Quanjin saw him first, and asked with a smile, "Huzi, how are you feeling?"

"Yes, it's Brother Quan Jin!"

Ji Hu heard the voice, and hurriedly stood up.

However, his body is weak, and he got up too fast, and he was about to throw himself directly on the stove.

Quan Quanjin stepped forward nimbly and grabbed Ji Hu's back collar, which saved him from a difficult situation.

"Slow down, your body is still weak, don't worry about getting up and squatting down."

Quan Quanjin grabbed Ji Hu's arm and helped him to the edge of the kang to sit down.

Ji Hu smiled and scratched his head: "I, I just saw you, and I was so happy, I didn't think of so much at once."

"Haha, just be happy."

Qi Quanjin smiled heartily, and put the two bags in his hand on the table.

Now that there are many places, it is no longer the state where several people crowded into one room.

So there is also an extra table on the ground, which is convenient to put some things on.

Seeing the bag, Ji Hu asked, "Brother Quan Jin, you, are you delivering food again?"

"Well, you can only eat something thin now, but you can't be short of it. Cook porridge when you're hungry. You don't have to watch the time and eat every meal. It's serious to take care of your body early, you know?"

Full gold exhortation.

It's not that he's stupid and generous, but I heard from two doctors that these people only drink some rice soup after a day in order to save food. Although they won't starve to death, they haven't been full either.

The body has been in a deficit, even the soup and medicine that I drank affected the absorption, and in the end the loss was even worse.

So Quan Quanjin came here on purpose to clarify this matter.

After listening to Quan Jin's analysis, Ji Hu's eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Brother Quan Jin, yes, we have dragged you down. Food must be expensive now, I, we... "

"Leave us alone. If you really feel that you are dragging us down, then take good care of your health, eat well, and take medicine well. When you get better later, you can help me do more work and everything will be fine."

Quan Qijin didn't like to see people cry, especially men's tears, which made his skin crawl.

Ji Hu nodded vigorously, and wiped away his tears with his sleeves: "Brother Quan Jin, don't worry, when I get well, I will be your family's cow and horse, and I will repay your kindness for the rest of my life!"

Quanquan Jin waved his hand.

He didn't think too much about being a cow or a horse, or repaying kindness.

The old boy gave birth to those people, there was nothing he could do. If he didn’t take them with him, he would have to watch them freeze to death and starve to death, so he came up with the idea of ​​letting them do long-term work.

In fact, Qi Quanjin still likes to be together as a family. Everything is done as a family, and he doesn't want outsiders to get involved.

Seeing that Ji Hu was still about to cry with excitement, Quan Qijin couldn't stay any longer: "Okay, you take care of it first! If you have anything to do, let Lao Tongsheng send someone to my house to spread the word."

"Uh-huh!"

Ji Hu nodded vigorously.

Old Tong gave birth to those people, old and young, and it was a miracle in Ji Hu's view that they could live to this day.

After these few days of getting along, Ji Hu also knew how they were with the Qi family, so he had no doubts about Qi Quanjin's arrangement.

Quan Quanjin and Qi Ercai put down their things and basically left without saying anything.

Back at home, put the rope in the living room, and then all the kids in the family came to learn how to weave the net together.

There is no real fishing line, so we can only use this kind of thinner rope for weaving. Although it is not professional, it is better to see it directly and learn it quickly.

After working for a long time, the young and old of the Qi family weaved two large nets, which seemed to be much easier to use than the impromptu ones made with hemp rope before.

After a night's rest, the men of the Qi family went out to fish early the next morning.

This time they not only drove the carriage, but also brought a lot of sacks.

The empty sacks were laid flat on the car floor, and the worn bedding was placed on top of it, so it was impossible to see what was underneath.

When he was leaving the city, he met the officer and soldier from the day before yesterday, and Qi Ercai greeted him warmly.

Today's weather is still very good, and there are no clouds in the sky, so there are more people going out of the city to cut firewood.

The five carriages of the Qi family are naturally the most conspicuous of them.

It's just that the speed of the carriage was fast, and it disappeared without a trace after leaving the city for a while.

When the other people behind saw it, they were all envious and jealous.

If there are five in the family, no, even if there is only one carriage, it will be much easier for them to go out to chop wood.

Besides, after selling such a good horse, what kind of firewood does the family have to chop, how good it is to sell the ready-made horse directly!

No matter what they can only think about.

Horses are too expensive, more expensive than cows, mules, and donkeys.

Even if the whole family saves money without eating or drinking, it will take at least ten or eight years to save.

The brothers of the Qi family don't know this.

A lot of people came out today.

In addition to the six brothers, several members of the Qi family also came out.

It is not the child's turn to do things like fishing, but it is okay to chop firewood.

Qi Dalang and his younger brothers got out of the car beside the forest halfway.

This forest was not connected with the green hills in the distance, and there was little chance of wild beasts appearing, so they were asked to chop firewood here, while Quan Jin and the others continued to go fishing.

When the fishing comes back, the firewood cut by the children will be loaded into the car and returned home.

When we arrived at the pond, although there was no snow covering it, the water surface was frozen again.

Fortunately, it was not too thick, and a few people broke the ice in twos and threes, and at the same time cleared the way around the ice surface.

First, it is convenient to catch fish, and second, it can further determine the size of the ice surface.

All the caught fish were thrown in the snow to freeze, and after being frozen solid, they were packed into bags, then moved to the car, and placed in the middle of the car board for storage.

After tossing for more than two hours, all the sacks brought out were used.

The woodcutters of the few men are naturally not as good as their elders, but they can't support the car. The frozen fish is piled up on the carriage as a skeleton. It's no less than the amount of firewood chopped up by adults like Quan Quanjin and the others in a day.

On the way back, Qi Quanjin and Qi Ercai said, "Second brother, we have to think of a way later. We can't always let the officers and soldiers poke things on the carriage. It's okay to poke the fish, but if someone finds something wrong, then it's okay." alright."

"Well, I know, so I asked our mothers to steam more steamed buns at home today, and I will take some steamed stuffed buns to send to the city guards later. It's not surprising that there are so many people."

Qi Ercai responded.
