Chapter 78 Unwelcome

Unlike the mess before, the house is now clean and refreshing, and it doesn't look like it was a house where sheep were raised.

There weren't many things on the cart, just some quilts and clothes. The two of them worked together to move the barrels to the ground and arranged them quickly.

This house was not originally intended for people to live in. There was no cooker or stove, let alone a bed. After thinking for a while, the two of them had no choice but to spread the mat that had been placed on the cart on the ground.

In addition, Jiang Zhimiao also spread the wolf skins and old clothes he bought earlier on the ground, and after laying two quilts on them, this was their bed.

The conditions were limited, so we had to make do with what we had. Fortunately, we had bought a lot of quilts before. After two beds, there was still one bed left. Jiang Zhimiao looked at the rather messy bed and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that it was getting late, she stopped what she was doing and said to Xu Yourong: "Mom, I want to go to the village to buy some food later. There are no hard pancakes now. If I don't buy some food, I will be hungry for two days today. Just wait until you hit the streets tomorrow before you can eat anything."

Xu Yourong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put down what he was holding, and said anxiously: "Yes, yes, yes, I have to go to the village to buy some food and come back. Look at my memory. I remembered it before, but I forgot all about it when I got busy. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Jiang Zhimiao reached out and patted her shoulder, "It's not a big deal. Isn't it just that dinner will be served later? I'm very hungry now, but I'm not that hungry anymore."

Seeing that she hadn't recovered yet, Jiang Zhimiao comforted her a few more words and continued: "Mom, you can pick up some firewood around here later. I have fast feet and will be back soon. It won't take long." Yes, you clean up first, I’ll go to the village right away.”

Xu Yourong nodded in agreement, and after watching her off, he continued what he was doing. The village was still some distance away, and it wouldn't be too late to collect firewood after finishing the work in the house.

When he went out and saw Wen's mother playing happily with the three little ones, Jiang Zhimiao said hello and said with a smile: "Aunt Wen, I'm going to the village to buy some food. Do you have anything to bring?"

Mother Wen waved her hand, turned around and shouted into the house: "Qing Zhu, Miaomiao is going to the village to buy some food. You should go and buy some too."

Hearing this, Wen Zhuqing quickly took out a handkerchief from his lapel and wiped his hands. He walked out and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Seeing that Jiang Zhimiao had a cloth bag in his hand, Wen Zhuqing also pulled out a cloth bag from the cart. After a hurried goodbye, the two walked together towards the village.

There are many people who want to go to the village to find food. From a distance, Jiang Zhimiao saw many people going to the village. But think about it, there are wastelands all around. If you want to fill your stomach, going to the village is the only way. way.

Previously, the team was full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, so walking was naturally unpleasant. Now Jiang Zhimiao and the two of them had no burden and arrived at Tianshui Village in less than a quarter of an hour.

As the smoke in the village dissipated, the sound of clinking dishes was heard in his ears. Jiang Zhimiao paused and led Wen Zhuqing towards the nearest room.

Looking at the old wooden door, Jiang Zhimiao bent her fingers, controlled her strength, and knocked twice carefully.

Seeing no one answered, I knocked twice more, and suddenly the wooden door was opened, and I saw a middle-aged man in a dark winter coat looking at them with his head tilted up and asking impatiently: "Who are you?"

Jiang Zhimiao tugged at the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Hello, uncle, we want to ask you to buy some food. Is it possible for you to do it conveniently?" The man frowned, and immediately smiled when he heard that he wanted to give money. , turned sideways to welcome them in, "Hey, you have found the right person. This year's harvest is good, and there is a lot of surplus food at home."

When Jiang Zhimiao entered the door, he rubbed his hands, his eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile: "My family is all about coarse grains. The grain stores in the city sell them for four cents a pound. In this case, I will also pay four cents a pound." I sold it for pennies, and I have about a hundred kilograms at home, I wonder how many kilograms you want."

A few people were chatting happily, and a woman wearing an indigo winter coat and a dark green scarf wrapped her head impatiently walked towards them from the inner room.

"Who is this? Why did you bring someone into the yard? Ge San, you dare to bring someone you don't know into your home. If something is taken away, I won't show you how powerful you are." "

Jiang Zhimiao raised his head slightly and met the woman's inverted triangular eyes. Seeing a woman coming into the yard, the woman was so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed Ge San's ears.

I saw her talking up and down, and cursed angrily: "Okay, you, I just said it? Why didn't you go back to the house for so long? Why did you see the young girl?"

After she finished speaking, she exerted some force on her hands and sneered, "You are doing your old habit again. You can't walk when you see a woman, right? I tell you to look, look, and see enough!"

Ge San covered his ears, stomped his feet in pain, and shouted that he was wronged, "It's wrong, it's wrong, I don't have a conscience, we are talking about business."

The woman looked at him suspiciously, then looked at Jiang Zhimiao and Jiang Zhimiao, relaxed the strength on her hands, and asked: "Let's talk about business? Are you bluffing me? You are the only one who has business. You're just doing nothing all day long, how can you talk about anything serious?"

Seeing that she had reduced her strength, Ge San tilted his head suddenly and broke free from her grasp. He rubbed his ears and cried out in pain: "Huhuhu, wife, your hand is really heavy, look. Look at my ears, if I pull them again, I won’t be able to save my ears, huh huh, it hurts me to death.”

The woman glanced at him and rolled her eyes, "Just be brave, you can't be that exaggerated. You think I don't know that you cry and scream at the slightest pain, huh."

Seeing her gentle expression, Ge San put down his hand and said to her with a playful smile: "Hey, hey, I know my wife loves me and is reluctant to hold me."

Seeing his glib expression, the woman yelled angrily: "Okay! Stop being poor! What's the serious matter? If you can't explain why, see if I don't teach you a lesson today!"

Ge San was shocked by these words and shuddered. He hurriedly ran to Wen Zhuqing, pointed at the two of them and said, "Daughter-in-law, this is really business. They knocked on the door just now to ask me to buy food."

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes followed his fingers and wandered to the faces of Jiang Zhimiao and Jiang Zhimiao. She looked at them for a while, and when they saw each other, she asked doubtfully: "You are not from our Tianshui Village, what do you think?" Get up and ask us to buy food."

Jiang Zhimiao smiled back and said: "Auntie, you have good eyesight. The two of us are indeed not from Tianshui Village. We are prisoners who were placed in Tianshui Village. The purpose of this harassment is to buy some food."

Before she could finish speaking, the woman's expression changed and she was about to push them out of the door, "Let's go, let's go, you are not welcome here, all of you, get out of here!"
