Chapter 32
Zhou Yancheng tried his best to speak to her in the gentlest voice, and finally said: "We won't be able to leave here for a while, so we can only stay here. Don't think wildly, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Shi Qingxiao heard others talking about this when she went out today. She turned to look at the youngest child in the family, "Tangtang, are you afraid?"

Zhou Shitang shook his head and said with a look on his face, "Don't be afraid. You don't have to worry about me. I am someone who can go up the mountain alone."

Shi Qingxiao smiled and looked at Zhou Shimu and Zhou Shiruo, "Where are Mu Mu and Ruoruo?"

Zhou Shimu and Zhou Shiruo shook their heads at the same time, "Not afraid."

"Just don't be afraid." Zhou Yancheng put a chopstick of celery into Shi Qingxiao's bowl, and then said slowly, "When we go out in the future, some people may know that we live here and may be biased against us. Don't let it go. In your mind, don’t think too much and just do whatever you have to do.”

"I won't think too much about it." Zhou Shiruo chewed the crumbled pork carefully for a few times, and really tasted the meat. His eyebrows were slightly curved, "They are willing to be friends with us, and I will not refuse."

"If they don't want to talk to us, then we shouldn't talk to them either. Anyway, we can support ourselves."

It was just that many people had died in one house, so she was not afraid at all.

She can't change other people's opinions of them, and she doesn't care about other people's opinions. Others can think whatever they want, and it has nothing to do with her.

Shi Qingxiao thought of the old hens she saw when she came back, and her stomach was aroused. "I saw a family raising several old hens. They were white and fat, and they were clucking and clucking. stop."

"It looks delicious at first sight. I heard that old hens can also lay eggs, and the eggs are also delicious."

Everyone else was hungry and had even less appetite for the food on the table.

Zhou Yan gave his wife a resentful look.

Shi Qingxiao pretended not to see it.

Zhou Shiruo was surprised, "Mom, do you still know the old hen?"

Shi Qingxiao nodded, "I heard people passing by say they were old hens, so I wrote down their appearance."

"We may have eaten many things but never seen them in their true form, but it doesn't matter. We just need to write them down when we encounter them. Experience is accumulated slowly."

Zhou Shitang also thought of the people she met, "When I went to fetch water, I met a super enthusiastic lady. Seeing that I was fair and tender, she thought our family was rich and asked me to buy her eggs."

Although she was very excited, she really had no money.

"Oh, by the way, she said there are two trees in front of her house, which are easy to find." Zhou Shitang added.

Shi Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, "There seemed to be two trees in front of the house I saw."

Zhou Shitang blinked, "It's not like we met the same company."

Shi Qingxiao nodded, "It's possible."

other people:"……"

Either chicken or eggs, so hungry.

Zhou Yancheng urged: "In the future, when we have money, we will buy chickens and eggs. Let's eat first. It will get cold after a while, and it will not taste good when it is cold."

He picked up a piece of rice and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious."

Others hurriedly picked up the food, as they would not be able to eat it if it was too late.

After Zhou Shitang was full, he remembered that there was another bird. He turned to look at Shi Qingxiao, "Mom, there is another bird in our house. Have you seen it?"

"I saw it." Shi Qingxiao nodded, "I marinated the bird too. I thought it would be nice to have pork to eat, and save the bird meat to eat later."

No matter what you eat or use, you have to save money. You can't eat all the meat in one meal just to satisfy your appetite.

Zhou Shitang asked: "Where are the bird feathers? Mom, where did you put the bird feathers?"

Shi Qingxiao pointed to the kitchen, "I'm still in the kitchen. I plan to take it out to bask in the sun tomorrow. After drying, it can be burned as firewood. It is also considered a waste." "What a waste of natural resources." Zhou Shitang stopped hurriedly, "We You can collect feathers from all animals. The feathers are relatively warm and can be made into quilts or stuffed into clothes, so you won’t be afraid of the cold in winter.”

Shi Qingxiao suddenly realized, "Tangtang is right, so I'd better not burn it, just dry the bird feathers and put them away."

Zhou Shimu said: "I once read in a book that the winter in Lingnan is not as long as in the north, nor is it as cold."

"I've also read such a book, and it's true." Zhou Shitang nodded, "But it's still terrible to be cold, especially when we don't eat well, we need to keep warm."

Shi Qingxiao thought for a while: "Then we must collect feathers consciously from now on. No matter what we see, we must think about whether it can be used or eaten."

Zhou Shiruo: "Listen to me."

All the food was eaten. Shi Qingxiao cooked the food according to the family's appetite, so it was just enough to eat without causing any waste.

Shi Qingxiao: "There is no water at home. Let's save these bowls for washing tomorrow. There is no need to take a shower tonight. Let's pack up and go to bed. We have to get up early to work tomorrow."

Everyone started to clear up the table, stools, dishes and chopsticks together, and walked into their respective rooms.

The sun has gone down.

Night slowly fell.

Without candles or other lighting things, the house was dark.

There were two simple beds in the room, one was larger and the other was smaller.

Shi Qingxiao slept alone.

Zhou Shiruo and Zhou Shitang slept on the big bed together.

Shi Qingxiao gradually adapted to the darkness, "I saw that other people's homes have grown vegetables. We will also plant some in the future, so we don't have to worry about running out of vegetables."

Zhou Shiruo was confused, "But where are we going to get vegetables to grow? And how are we growing vegetables?"

She had learned many things before, but she had never learned how to grow vegetables.

Shi Qingxiao didn't understand, but it was okay, "I'll ask the ladies tomorrow."

"Mom, I know how to grow vegetables, there's no need to ask those aunties." Zhou Shitang spoke out.

Shi Qingxiao was surprised, "Tangtang, when did you know so much?"

Zhou Shitang explained, "I wrote down everything I read in books. I used to read everything at home. After reading a lot, I understand a little bit about everything. Now it comes in handy."

Shi Qingxiao remembered.

The little girl used to often read at home, and would only go out when there were festivals or when she needed to attend banquets. At other times, she would stay in her small yard and read.

She also made some fun with the book.

Zhou Shitang asked: "Mom, you probably haven't finished eating the celery. I remember we dug a lot and brought back enough to eat for several days."

Shi Qingxiao: "I haven't finished eating yet. The rest is in the kitchen. Do you want to grow this vegetable? How to grow it specifically?"

"Yes, we will plant this vegetable tomorrow." Zhou Shitang said with a smile: "Create a vegetable garden in front of the house. We can take part of it and plant it in front of the house. After it blooms and bears fruit, we will collect the seeds and keep them for planting next year."

　I checked Baidu and found that cress generally reproduces asexually. Conducted from late August to mid-September.

　　I am not so serious about my time here.
