four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 240 The whole family goes to the mountain to dig yams (2)

Miao picked up the cooked yams, put them into a bowl and set them aside to cool. Then she took the cooked rice to the main room and invited the family members to come over and eat.

During the famine years, the Jin family couldn't be too high-profile, so they cooked rice porridge mixed with old rice and new rice. However, even so, because the family had a large population, they still had to eat four or five kilograms of food for one meal.

The yam brought back by Yuanbao was only half in length. Miao cut it into half a finger length. She divided the slender yam into 21 sections. Everyone could get a little bit to try it out. As for the Yuanbao piece, it was in the middle. Duan'er is the thickest. This can be regarded as a little preference and reward for Miao's granddaughter for doing her best.

Jin Laibao finished eating a section of yam and felt warm in his stomach. He said with greedy eyes, "Is there any more milk? I still want to eat..."

"Eat whatever you want, just a little bit for each person, and eat the porridge quickly." Miao scolded in a fit of laughter and tears. He also carefully peeled off the skin of the yam, and put the warm yam into his mouth to taste.

Also a little ticklish.

But after chewing and chewing, she didn't feel any itching in her mouth at all. She felt relieved and began to carefully savor the dense and sweet taste of yam. If she could eat it every day, she would be willing to lose two years of her life.

"After just one short session, I felt a little full. Mom and Dad, this yam is really a good food to keep you full!"

Zheng was frail and had a small appetite. After finishing a section of yam, she ate a third of the porridge in her bowl.

I really couldn't eat the rest, so I gave the remaining rice to Jin Wu, asking him to eat more and use more strength to go up the mountain tonight.

The moment Jin Zhong ate the yam, he burst into tears and began to lament the famine decades ago.

"Why, why didn't we have this food more than 30 years ago? If we had this yam, my eldest and second sister would not have starved to death, and my fourth sister and my younger brother would not have been sold to Ren Yazi. God, you are simply kidding with human lives. !”

Jin Zhong burst into tears, and Miao also thought of the tragic situation back then, and the couple hugged each other and cried.

Hua Weiwei silently put the cooked yam into Yuanbao's bowl and sighed repeatedly.

Yams are not precious, but there are too few people who grow them, so they can only make yam tablets and supply them to folk medical clinics and medical hospitals.

If it is really put on the table as food, only high-ranking officials and powerful people will use it for dietary supplements. How can ordinary people come into contact with yam?
Not to mention using it to satisfy his hunger. If Yuan Bao hadn't been lucky and found the yam by mistake, he wouldn't have been able to remember it.

Yuan Bao gave his father yam to eat so that he would have strength to work at night, then ran over and hugged Jin Zhong's thigh.

The milky voice comforted: "Grandpa, don't cry. As long as I'm here, no one in our family will starve to death!"

"Good! She is such a good granddaughter of grandpa, and a lucky star of our Jin family!" Jin Zhong was frothing at the mouth, bursting into tears, and hugged Yuan Bao tightly without letting go.

It was as if a drowning person had grasped a life-saving straw. Although it was a bit exaggerated to say this, the family's emotions became heavy because of the old man's crying and missing.

"Okay, you brothers are coming back late. Eat your food quickly. We will go up the mountain to dig food tonight!" Miao said while controlling her emotions.

After dinner, Xu Liudi and Zheng took wooden sticks and closed the door tightly to prevent night time thieves from stealing food. Except for the younger brothers Lao Liu Jin Ju Bao and Lao Qi Jin Fu Bao, the other brothers all carried small bamboo baskets on their backs and went up the mountain with their elders. .
