Chapter 20
When Xiaoguang returned home, he was quiet, probably having gone to rest.

Xiao Guang also lightened his steps, and walked back to the room.

Cui Fen leaned on the kang cabinet, squinted her eyes, nodded for a while and dozed off.

Seeing his daughter-in-law so tired, Xiao Guang walked over and patted her gently.

Cuifen suddenly became sober, and when she saw Xiaoguang came back, she hurriedly asked, "Have you agreed with Dad?"

Xiaoguang hummed: "Go to bed early, you have been tired all day, father and elder brother will come over tomorrow, don't worry!"

After speaking, they should lie down and sleep.

In the morning, when the sky was bright, old man Zhang arrived at his son-in-law's house.

The house where the boss lived was relatively close to the gate, and when he heard the voice of his father-in-law, he got up quickly.

At this time, Cuifen heard the movement and wanted to get up.

The boss pressed Cui Fen's hand and said, "Put on your clothes slowly, and I'll open the door."

Xiaoguang hurried out to open the door for his father-in-law. "Father, why are you here so early?"

Old man Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Aren't you afraid that people in your village will go up the mountain early?"

Cui Fen also got up, and originally wanted her father-in-law and the others to sit in his room.

Old man Zhang was unwilling, saying that the child was still young and it would be cooler for us outside, so let's sit in the yard for a while.

Qin Xinyi also heard the voice of her in-laws talking, so she couldn't fall asleep.

He could only sigh and get up helplessly.

Qin Xinyi opened the door and went to the yard. She saw her in-laws sitting there awkwardly, talking with her daughter in a soft voice.

For fear of waking Qin Xinyi up.

Old man Zhang was caught off guard when he heard the door opening.

Qin Xinyi saw old man Zhang's uneasy look, and took the initiative to say hello, "Dear family, you are here."

Although it was a few simple words, old man Zhang's restless heart calmed down a little.

Old man Zhang smiled embarrassingly, "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Old man Zhang's sons hurriedly got up to say hello, "Hello, Aunt Qin."

"Okay, okay, okay, you all sit down, Cui Fen, boil some water, let your father and your elder brother drink some." Qin Xinyi said, looking at Cui Fen, and beckoned her to boil water.

Hearing this, old man Zhang felt his heart pounding, and hurriedly stopped him, "Cui Fen, don't go, I'm not thirsty."

Qin Xinyi knew that old man Zhang didn't want to cause trouble for others, so she comforted her, "Dear family, don't worry, we still have some water, it's too much, and it's not easy to take along on the road."

"Hurry up and boil the water, what are you still doing there?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law really wanted her to boil water for her father, Cui Fen was very moved.

Qin Xinyi asked her in-laws to sit here, and she went to the kitchen to have a look.

In the kitchen, Qin Xinyi took out some wild yams, and ordered Cuifen to roast some while boiling the water, so that everyone would have breakfast in the morning.

Cui Fen saw that her mother-in-law took out a lot, although she felt distressed, but after all, her father came, and there was nothing good at home.

This wild yam is also a good food under the current situation.

After making arrangements, Qin Xinyi went out to chat with her in-laws.

It's okay to see my in-laws sitting like this.

Qin Xinyi also found a bench and sat down, "When are you guys planning to flee the famine?"

Old man Zhang sighed and said, "Our village chief also said that we are going to the south to flee famine, and it's only been a few days. Everyone is preparing?"

Qin Xinyi's eyes flickered, "We're leaving tomorrow, and we're going south. It's just right, we're all going south, and we might meet them on the way, and we have a guide."

Old man Zhang's eyes lit up, thinking that his family and his only daughter would not be separated, and they were going south anyway.

Just like that, they chattered without saying a word, talking about fleeing famine.

After a while, Cui Fen prepared the water and roasted yam.

Xiaoguang quickly took out the table and asked Cuifen to put it away.

Qin Xinyi looked at this simple eating, and slandered in her heart that she was empty and treasured and could not be used!
"Family, don't be disgusted, there's nothing decent to eat at home."

"This is the wild yam that was just dug yesterday, you should try it too."

Old man Liu saw a lot of wild yam brought by Cuifen, "Dear family, this is too much, no one is having a good time now, so I dare not eat like this."

After speaking, he felt that he was pointing fingers, so he could only smile embarrassingly.

Explaining, "Our in-laws asked us to find wild yam, and we are very grateful. How can we eat here. We all eat at home."

Qin Xinyi knew that this was something her in-laws were too embarrassed to eat.

Qin Xinyi shared a section with each of them, "Try it all, so that you know it's edible, and you'll be excited to find it."

Old man Zhang still wanted to back down, Qin Xinyi could only sullen her face, "Dear family, are you looking down on me? If not, then try it quickly."

Old man Zhang knew that his in-laws had good intentions, so he couldn't help her kindness any more.

Qin Xinyi saw that old man Zhang wanted to eat without even peeling the skin.

Just as he was about to stop it, he saw that he had already opened his mouth to go down.

Smacking his lips, he nodded, "It's very good, very soft and has a sweet taste."

Qin Xinyi couldn't see her in-laws anymore, "My in-laws, I have to peel this to eat. There is no water, so I can't wash it, and the outer skin is covered with dirt."

Old man Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly, "People are so hungry that they eat soil now, do they still care about the soil on the skin? The skin is also delicious."

Qin Xinyi heard the old man Zhang's words, and slandered in her heart, this thief, God, what a mess he has made!

She didn't continue to stop her, so she could only let it go.

Zhang Daniu saw that his father had eaten, so he picked it up and ate it.

It's like eating delicious food in the world, and I don't want to finish it all at once. I only want to swallow it when I smash it in my mouth.

After eating, old man Zhang didn't let their sons drink all the water in a bowl.

He knows that water is more precious than food now, so don't drink it, for fear that his in-laws will be angry and he looks down on people.

I can only pick up a bowl, drink a few sips, and then let Da Niu drink, and Da Niu drank a few sips and then gave it to the second cow, the third cow, and the younger brother Dunzi.

Qin Xinyi knew of the kindness of her in-laws, so she didn't say anything else.

Seeing that his in-laws didn't say anything else, old man Zhang felt relieved at last.

Xiaoguang and the others also finished eating, and they were not willing to drink more water. After the whole family finished eating, there were still four or five bowls of water left.

Qin Xinyi silently found out the water bag and filled it, so that it was still hot when the children got up.

As soon as I finished cleaning up, I heard the sound of the village chief beating the gong.

The three Xiaoguang brothers took old man Zhang and the others to the old pagoda tree.

When Xiaoguang and the others reached the old locust tree, there were already many people there.

There were men, women and children, and at this time the village chief saw Xiaoguang bringing his father-in-law's family over.

Although he was a little bit unhappy, but he didn't show it on the face, other people in the village were discussing in a low voice,

"Our village has not yet dug, so we brought outsiders here."

Some people also said, "They found it by themselves, so it would be nice if we could take it with us."

"You are still chattering there, can you not go if you don't want to go?"

"Who knows if it's edible or not? Don't be tired for a whole day without touching anything."

"Then you don't have to go, no one is forcing you to go."

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and there were many things to say.

People in a village are Wuyang Wuyang, and the noisy people have headaches.

The village head saw that almost all the villagers came, and shouted loudly, "I ate the wild yam that I told everyone about yesterday, and it was still very wrong. It is a food that can satisfy hunger."

"It's not easy for others to dig, so we can't take it out and share it with everyone. I guess it's not enough for the whole village to taste it."

"I can assure you of this. It will make you hungry after eating, and it's not poisonous. I ate it last night and it's fine now, so I think I can dig it. If you want to go, let's go now."

Then he said to Xiaoguang, I think everyone is almost there, otherwise we should go up the mountain earlier.
