Yangtian Qianqian Yang Baozi

Chapter 459 Difficult Days (3)
There are not many oil lamps left at home, and there are patients to take care of. Fortunately, there are two men carrying them. If there is only one, the two mothers will definitely not take it in.

"There is no problem with this. Meimei, you can cut some meat and go to the small shop in the village to exchange some flour. Go to the village and help me find the doctor. As for the two of you, call me cousin from today. If it is true Change what you said as soon as possible. If you call Meimei, call your cousin! After a while, the doctor will come. One of you will fetch water and the other will chop firewood. Do you understand? By the way, by the way, let the two men in the house , Dress up. Don't let them show their wealth, and I will say that they are my relatives from afar, and their family suffered a disaster, so they came to look for me."

When Wang Shiwei and Song Shiwei heard this, they couldn't help but nodded.As long as this aunt is willing to cooperate, it will be easy.

"Ma'am, should I go fetch water now? And where is the nearest mountain? Our two brothers don't have any money with us, and we need money everywhere. I think it's better to hunt some prey as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Meimei to tell you where the well is in this village. Besides, there's not much firewood left at home, so remember to split some."

Jia Shi quickly entered the role, someone was at his beck and call, why not?Every time in order to chop some firewood, the mother and wife have to work hard for half a day.

"Okay, just follow my cousin's orders!" Song Shiwei immediately entered the role.

At this time, Ding Meimei had already separated a piece of meat weighing about ten catties and put it in the basket.The basket was covered with a piece of cloth, and it was ready to go out: "Mother, I cut off about two catties of meat, and I cut a good piece of meat and put it on the table. I will pay the doctor for medical treatment in a while!"

Jia Shi nodded, but luckily the roe deer was big enough.According to visual estimation, it weighs about seventy or eighty catties, except that I used more than ten catties last night, and I removed more than ten catties of internal organs.There are forty or fifty catties left. Now that so much is cut off, and the doctor will give another five catties, the rest is not very good, probably enough to last for a day.

However, the more than ten catties of meat should be exchanged for some flour, lamp oil and salt.The family now has roe deer meat from last night, and the fried oil is not needed for the time being.

"Okay, by the way, take Erzhu to see where the well is. There are men in the family now, and let them chop wood and carry water." Jia felt that since they were relatives in name, they should do it a little bit. Can't be overemphasized.

Of course, if they are capable enough to bring back more prey and exchange for some silver, then when the time comes, they will buy them quilts and rough cloth, then make clothes, wash clothes, and sew quilts, that is their women's business up.

But if you want to take care of the two masters, you may have to come both of them.If they went hunting during the day, it would not be too much for the two of them to take care of them.But it's better for them two men to take care of them.

She even thought to herself, let these two young people get along with her daughter more, if one of them can take a fancy to her daughter, that would be the best.

It doesn't matter whether these two young people are servants or free agents.After all, my daughter has a home to rely on for the rest of her life.

The daughter's family doesn't expect anything in this life, as long as there is a lover.These two young people looked good to her, and they were not very old, but she didn't know if they had wives at home.

If not, it's good if you can talk to your daughter.Marry such a man, don't have to worry about food and drink.At least they have a craft and can hunt.Even if it is for the current people, if the master and son-in-law are saved in this way, the master will not treat them too kindly.

"Okay mother, second cousin come with me!" Ding Meimei glanced at guard Song frankly, tightened her clothes, and walked out the door with a basket on her back.

Guard Song held two wooden barrels in his hand, saw Ding Meimei walking ahead, and hurriedly followed.People here are not familiar with the place, so he walked while observing the surroundings.

Wang Shiwei saw that Song Shiwei was gone, so he said to Jia: "Cousin, where is the firewood, I'll chop it!"

Jia Shi was a little embarrassed, she and her daughter were weak people, so naturally they didn't cut down the big tree and drag it back to dry it for firewood.What they pick up are dead branches, which are easy to burn and not resistant to burning.The firewood piled up in the firewood room is all such firewood.

"Well, there is no need to chop firewood at home. It's just that there are not many firewood at home, and those firewoods are not resistant to burning. I want you to cut some trees and bring them back after drying them. Those are relatively more resistant to burning, and when they arrive The charcoal fire left over from time to time can also burn for a long time."

Hearing this, Wang Shiwei nodded and said: "Well, then I will take a look at the surrounding environment first, and when my second brother and I come back from hunting, we will cut down a tree by ourselves, and we will still be in the yard by then. Let it dry."

Although he didn't think in his heart how dry it could be in this kind of weather.

"Then I will trouble you." Jia Shi smiled gratifiedly, she was a little afraid that this young man would be angry just now.

Ding Meimei took more than ten catties of meat to the canteen early in the morning to exchange for meat.The proprietress of the canteen was surprised to see that the well-known poor households in the village brought so much meat.

"I said Meimei, isn't your family hungry? Why do you have so much meat all of a sudden, and you still use this meat to exchange food?"

Ding Meimei looked at Ling's curious face, even though she felt disdain for Ling's big mouth, she still showed a gentle smile on her face: Sister-in-law, this is the prey my cousin called.My cousin's hometown suffered a disaster, his mother died early, and his father was unconscious again.Before my mother died, she asked her two cousins ​​to come to my house with her comatose father.

But on the way, I ran into my sister's brother-in-law's family. At that time, my sister couldn't stand it anymore and passed away.My cousin is really poor, she passed away at a young age.Now I am left with my cousin-in-law who was unconscious due to stimulation, and my uncle who is also unconscious.

Fortunately, after coming here, my two cousins ​​learned how to hunt on the road.No, this is the prey they hunted yesterday, but it's a pity that our family has no food at all, and we can't just eat meat, my mother thought, my cousin's health is not good, he is still in a coma, and there is nothing at home , They all still play the ground floor and live in the woodshed.

Let me bring these meats here today, and exchange some flour with your sister-in-law for food.Hey, the life of the people is really not as good as the year after year, and there are disasters and famines everywhere.After Ding Meimei finished speaking, she deliberately sighed.

Originally, Ling wanted to talk about her cousin's family, but when she heard about the famine, she stopped thinking about Ding Meimei.That's right, the life of these people is becoming more and more difficult, just look at their Dingjia Village.The life of the villagers is getting more and more bitter.
