Chapter 787 Mr. Qi went into the mountain and hasn't come back yet

Grandma makes dinner by boiling potatoes in a pot.After the potatoes were cooked, another pot of dishless dishes was cooked.Finally, with the vegetable soup, I cooked some noodles.

The three of Tang Shi each shared a bowl of noodles, and the village chief, grandma, and the three children ate potatoes and boiled vegetables.

The noodles were placed in front of the three people, but none of them could hold their chopsticks.

No one who looked at these three children with bright eyes but gnawed potatoes could not eat these three bowls of noodles.

Tang Shi pushed her noodles to the little girl, then took her potatoes and ate them.

She used to eat baked potatoes when she was a child, but it was the first time she ate boiled potatoes.But this stuff doesn't add any salt, so it's tasteless.

Qiao Yi and Chao Xiu also learned from each other, and gave two bowls of noodles to the other two boys, and took the potatoes.

The slightly older boy looked at grandma.After hearing what grandma said, he said to Tang Shi and the others in Mandarin: "Grandma said that there is nothing good at home. My father brought this flour back. Let me try it for you. I hope I won't wrong you."

Qiao hurriedly said, "Don't feel wronged or wronged. Potatoes are delicious."

Tang Shi asked with interest: "Do you speak Mandarin?"

The boy nodded: "Teacher taught."

Tang Shi smiled and asked: "Is the teacher a man and a woman, and the male teacher's surname is Qi?"

The boy's eyes lit up: "Yes, how do you know?"

Tang Shi smiled and said softly: "Because he is also our teacher."

In a word, the relationship between the boy and them was instantly shortened.

Under the persuasion of Tang Shi and the others, the boy and his siblings finished eating the three bowls of noodles, and licked their mouths unsatisfied.

Grandma washed the pot, sat in front of the fire and chatted with Tang Shi and the others.

She said that here is too poor, people here can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

Because they want to survive, the young people in the village basically go out to work and come back every few years.

Many men were unable to marry a daughter-in-law, and those who could marry secretly ran away within a few years after entering the house.Their daughter-in-law ran away secretly two years ago.

Grandma always paused in her speech, the boy was translating beside her, and Tang Shi and the others listened quietly.

Grandma said that they don't blame their daughter-in-law, and no one wants to spend their whole life in this kind of mountains when they are in their prime.It doesn't matter if they are old, but young people still have a long time.

As she spoke, grandma wiped the corners of her eyes.

The boy whispered: "After my mother left, my grandma has been crying. Now I seldom cry, but my eyes can't see anything."

Tang Shi and the others looked at the village chief who couldn't help sighing, and the poor house was silent.

After a long time, when it was completely dark outside, Tang Shirou said softly, "Can you take us to Teacher Qi?"

The boy got up: "Yes, but today Teacher Qi and Zhuzi went to the mountains to collect herbs, and I don't know if they are back now."

Tang Shi glanced at the sky outside, it was dark and gloomy.

The villages in Daqushan have no electricity, and the forests are very primitive.Mrs. Zhuzi's legs are not good, and if she doesn't come back in such a dark day, aren't they afraid of being taken away by wolves?

When she was thinking this way, a wolf howled suddenly from the distant mountains.

It came from the depths of the remote mountain forest, with a cold and bloodthirsty feeling, Qiao Yi couldn't help shivering.

"Do you still have wolves here?"

"Yes!" the boy said as a matter of course, "There is everything in the mountains. When my father and the others come back, they will organize people to go hunting in the mountains. When they are lucky, they can bring back a wild boar. Sometimes, they can even meet Xiong Xiazi. But everyone dare not mess with Xiong Xiazi, so they can only walk around."
