Chapter 29
It didn't take long for most people in the village to eat hot meals, mainly yams, and the air was filled with the smell of yams.

Looking from a distance, there are bonfires everywhere.

Looking a little farther, about a mile or two ahead of them, there seemed to be a faint light of fire, probably people fleeing famine from other villages.

About a quarter of an hour later, the village chief Yue felt that most of the people in the village had finished their dinner, and struck the gong again.

This is when the village chief agreed that each family should send one person to be on duty.

The village head will ask these people to discuss and see how to arrange it.

Everyone went to the family, and Qin Xinyi's family started from the boss, so that everyone would have no objections, otherwise they would directly arrange the second or third child, and they would not say that there was no boss to take the lead, and they would blame his mother for being partial in their hearts.So it can only come from the biggest.

The boss went to the head of the village with a few people around them, and the head of the village gave them a good order and time to be on duty.

On the first day of duty, the village chief was afraid of complaints from others, so he could only arrange for Xiaoguang, his eldest son, and Zhang Dahan from his own family.

Those who were not scheduled went back to rest, and the boss went back and told his mother that they would be watching the night for a few nights.

Qin Xinyi pulled out the machete hidden in the trolley and asked him to hold it for self-defense.Then he went to find Qin Xiaolin and Zhang Dahan.

Qin Xinyi thought it was good to eat yams, and she wasn't tired of eating them yet, and the younger ones also felt that they were delicious, so they didn't go into their own space to steal them.

Anyway, I can eat enough now, and the nutrition can still keep up. Let's wait for the opportunity to give them extra meals.

Just a good night's sleep and nothing else happened.

When the stars in the sky slowly faded and the first ray of dawn came, the only gong and drum of the village head sounded, telling people to get up and cook.

Breakfast is the most worry-free. They still have a lot of wild yams to eat at night. Qin Xinyi's house was reheated again. She peeled the yam skins and put them in a clay pot with some water and fried noodles. It was done. Thin porridge, also put some salt, which can replenish physical strength.

Qin Xinyi put in a lot, cooked enough for the whole family, a few big ones and a few small ones, and she was satisfied.

Seeing so much food, the boss and his daughter-in-law felt distressed and melancholy, and thought: "Mother, let them eat like this, this food can last for a few days! No, I have to wait for a chance to talk to my mother."

The second child and the others are not reluctant, they are very happy to drink, and feel that although the fleeing famine is tiring from walking, it is still very good to be able to eat enough.

Qin Xinyi watched with wide eyes, Da Zhuang licked the bowl clean, poured some water to rinse the bowl and drank it, it was not a waste at all.

Proudly showing the bowl to Grandma, "Grandma, look, is my bowl clean? This way I won't waste water washing the dishes."

Although Qin Xinyi was slandering in her heart, she said: "Da Zhuang is so good, I'll give you a piece of candy and share it with my sister."

Da Zhuang took the candy happily, "Thank you grandma."

When Da Zhuang and Jia Jia were sharing sugar, at some point, a little chubby came over.

Little Fatty said, "Da Zhuang, you have candy."

Only then did Da Zhuang remember what his grandma said, not to let others know that he has sugar.

She hid her little hand behind her back, "No, no."

"Then what are you hiding in your hand, share it with me." The little fat man looked at him suspiciously.

"I heard it's so sweet! Are you secretly eating candy?"

Da Zhuang stretched out one hand and kept waving it there, while stepping backwards, "No, you heard it wrong."

Looking at Da Zhuang's expression and movements, he knows that there is no silver 300 taels here. He must have something delicious, even if it's not sugar, it's something else, but the possibility of sugar is very high.

At this time, Xiaopangdun's grandma heard it, and came over. Xiaopangdun's grandma, who is still a good person, is Da Kuan's daughter-in-law Liu Shi.

Little Fatty saw his grandma coming, so he ran towards his grandma at full speed, "Grandma, I want candy."

Liu's body was injured during childbirth, causing Feng Dakuan to lose a son.

As the name suggests, the wooden man is relatively dull, not very talkative, and he is late in finding a wife. He is only a small and chubby child.So Mrs. Liu dotes on this grandson more, but he is still a good person.

When Xiaoming broke Er Gouzi's head, he even comforted Qin Xinyi, and he could still talk to Qin Xinyi a few words.But the relationship can only be mediocre, after all, Qin Xinyi used to be a lady from the official family, and she was indifferent to everyone, neither bad nor hot.

Mrs. Liu knew that it had been difficult for the family in the past year, but no matter how difficult it was, there was no shortage of food for Xiaopangdun.

Little Fat Dun really lives up to its name, and it is not easy to be edible in this famine year.

Liu coaxed: "When the next big city comes, I will go to the city to buy it for you. Be good, come and eat yams, don't you love yams the most?"

"Do you think Da Zhuang is also eating yam? He just said that yam is very sweet."

When Da Zhuang heard Grandma Liu's words, he immediately responded, "Fatty, yes, I said that the yam is very sweet."

Little Pangdun was not stupid, he stared blankly at the hand behind him and said: "Then show me your hand, if it is yam, I will believe you."

Da Zhuang really didn't know how to pick it up. After all, he was only a three or four-year-old kid, so he immediately raised his eyes to glance at his grandma.

Qin Xinyi looked helplessly at the bewildered grandson.

Sighing, he could only say: "Sister Liu, Da Zhuang eats candy, and I don't have much."

In fact, Qin Xinyi just thinks that there is no free lunch in the world, and the pie in the sky must be a trap.

She can make people feel that she can give whatever she wants.Besides, who in the village doesn't know that their family is very sad now?

Listen to the sound to know the meaning, this Liu is not a person who does not know the taste, knowing that Qin did not want to give it for nothing, it is difficult now, even if she has a little candy, it is estimated that there is not much.

Mrs. Liu struggled a bit, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Qin, please give us a few yuan, of course I don't want your money for nothing, I'll exchange it with something."

When Qin Xinyi heard that Mrs. Liu was a well-informed person, she didn't say anything else. She took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, which was actually taken out from the space, counted out five yuan, and handed it over.

Seeing Qin Xinyi, Liu shi took out the candy and gave it to her without saying a word, so she choked up all the words she had prepared.

She took the candy resentfully, and said, "Just wait, I will send you some yams later."

She pulled up the fat pier and left, afraid that Qin Xinyi would regret it again. Although her heart was bleeding, she still compromised for the sake of her grandson.

Mrs. Liu knows that sugar and gold are expensive, but food is also very expensive now, okay? Although the yams can only be dug up so much because of Qin Xinyi's favor, but that is what my man and children worked hard to find.

Mrs. Liu felt that she would not be able to pamper her children like before. Now that she was fleeing famine, how could there be so much food for this kid to rush around.

It's still necessary to talk to Fatty well, you can't want everything you see, wait a few days, if there is no food to eat, then the family is over.

From a distance, I heard Mrs. Liu teaching the child, "You child, do you know that for these few pieces of candy, we have to give away some yams. Since you eat candy, then deduct your meal."

Qin Xinyi listened from a distance, and knew that this Liu family was a spoiled child, but she hadn't reached the point of being confused, she still knew how to measure.

After a while, Mrs. Liu brought some yams, and Qin Xinyi didn't keep any more, but kept two to let them know that nothing is for nothing.
