Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 79 A Guizhang Goes, Food Is Scarce

Chapter 79

Everyone ate and chatted in a very lively atmosphere, until they were full of wine and food.Seeing that Xu Yaowu was a little drunk, Xu Xiaomi was afraid that he would go back to wrestle alone.I asked my father to send it off.

After Xu Yaowu left, Grandpa asked Xu Xiaomi to read to them the written receipt for buying Linzi.

Xu Xiaomi read it to them as she said, and Zhou Xuewu laughed and said, "You are promising! My granddaughter is promising!
Among the five generations of our Zhou family, only my granddaughter has this ability.Children, what do you do in the future, you must be united! "

Zhou Yuqing smiled and said, "Father, what are you talking about? Xiaomi is just a girl, you..."

"Girl! Don't underestimate my granddaughter. In the future, Zhou and Xu will depend on her to prosper!"

Before Zhou Yuqing finished speaking, Zhou Xuewu interrupted her and retorted that maybe he drank some wine, and he was so excited that he shed tears while talking.

When Xu Xiaomi met with a few juniors, he hurriedly helped the old man to the bed!

At night, it was so quiet. Xu Xiaomi waited for everyone to fall asleep, and sat in the yard alone, waiting for her father to come back. She looked at the twinkling stars in the sky.

Thinking about his past, and Qiu Yongzheng who was far away in Dingzhou, he didn't know what that kid was doing now?Did he think of me?
Xu Xiaomi laughed at herself when she thought of this, and thought: What's wrong with me?Really, if someone finds out, you won’t laugh your ass off?
forget about it!
However, she didn't feel sleepy at all tonight, looking at the distance again, she thought of Xiaobailong and Caiyi, and she didn't know what happened to them?

Xiaobailong took her to Huolongtan privately, and Caiyi said it was a big taboo, so he didn't know what would happen?
Venerable Yulong said that the Jade Emperor had agreed to her, and he would let Xiaobailong and Caiyi return to him in the future, and he didn't know when they would come back?

After thinking about it, Xu Xiaomi fell asleep on her knees!
When Xu Erqiang sent Xu Yaowu back, he saw his daughter lying there, stretched out his hand and pushed her, but she didn't respond, so she must have fallen asleep.

He reached out to pick up his daughter and walked to the place where the female guest slept.Xu Erqiang thought: This child, maybe these few days are really too tired!

On the second day, when the sky was hazy and bright, Xu Xiaomi rolled over from the bed and sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and thinking about it.

Aren't you waiting for your father in the yard?How could you go to bed and sleep?
well!There were too many things going on recently, so I didn't get a good night's sleep. I must have fallen asleep last night, and my father brought me in when he came back, right?
Xu Xiaomi was thinking about it while getting out of bed while feeling for his clothes.

But thinking about these insignificant things for a while, she thought that she would go to the mountains to dig coal today.

Now that the paperwork has been written, and the village has to pay the money every year, if the lime is not burned out, how about the money to pay?

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the materials as soon as possible, burn out the lime, and build the house.Let the ancient people know the benefits of lime.

Only when people understand its use and benefits can she make money.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomi wanted to sing while making breakfast.Not to mention how happy I am!

She had just cooked two pots of porridge when her mother and grandma woke up.The three of them made a lot of noise, waking up the cousins ​​and aunts who were sleeping in the kitchen.

Xu Xiaomi looked at her sister who was sleeping soundly, and hurriedly carried her to her mother's bed and let her continue to sleep.

At this time, the injured Agui got up!
Xu Xiaomi greeted him: "Uncle Agui, you're up! It's still early! You're injured and it's cold outside, so don't get up so early. I'll bring you the food later!"

Agui smiled wryly and said, "Miss Xu, I think it's safe to go back to town today. I've been lying here for eight or nine days, so I should go back."

When Xu Xiaomi heard this, he said anxiously: "How can I do that? You are seriously injured! You have been injured for a hundred days, and you can't lie down after eight or nine days?
Don't worry, I will ask Uncle Yu for your nutrition expenses and nursing expenses here, you just need to live here! "

Hearing Xu Xiaomi's words, Ah Gui was amused by her and said, "Miss Xu is not like that, I miss Master and them too, so..."

Seeing the wrinkles on his old face, Xu Xiaomi couldn't joke anymore.yes!When people get old, they just want to stay by the side of the people they know well. Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomi no longer has any objections.

She said softly, "Alright then! I'll see you off after dinner!"

"It doesn't have to be..."

As soon as Ah Gui said a few unnecessary words, Xu Xiaomi waved his hand to stop him.

Agui stopped talking, Xu Xiaomi turned around and walked out.

After dinner, Xu Xiaomi found a nearby bullock cart and took Agui back to Yu's house in Qinglong Town.

Yu Zhimo was still giving porridge. When they arrived, the porridge had just started, and there were long queues in the four places.

Xu Xiaomi looked at it and was very satisfied. At least in this way, no one would go hungry anymore, and no one would fight for food in order to survive.

She sent Agui in, and only said hello to Yu Zhimo before returning to Xujiacun.

Another few days of busy life.Xu Xiaomi organized people to dig coal vigorously, and now she is not afraid of putting it in the mountains. She bought the forest.

Moreover, no one except her knows what this thing is for?Even everyone who is building a lime kiln by the river now, I don't know why Xu Xiaomi has to let people bring back so many black bumps every day?

The courtyard, which is not spacious at all, is getting smaller and smaller.

On the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Xu Xiaomi asked Xu Hao to take out the manual to check the amount of coal recorded on it. Xu Hao told her that there were more than 300 baskets.

Xu Xiaomi felt that the coal was almost enough to burn a kiln of lime.However, I don't know how the kiln is built?

She ran to the river alone, and saw the lime kiln standing on the highest point of the embankment from a distance.

She took a closer look, ho!so high!It is a full three feet high, and when you walk into the kiln, the inside is so well built that it can hold four or five tons of stones.

It's just that the yellow mud touched on it is still wet, and the work can only be started after the yellow mud inside is a little dry.

So, she came back and asked everyone to continue digging coal today.Grandpa and uncles are resting today, they can go to the trap in the mountain to see if there is any prey.

In the past few days, Xu Xiaomi has seen that the trees are starting to sprout. The weather is not cold anymore, and there should be more small animals in the mountains.

Now, this forest belongs to her family, and more traps can be dug in it.

She told the uncles that if they feel bored in the afternoon, they can dig traps in the woods!

Everyone was overjoyed to hear that!
Xu Hao hurriedly ran to her side, and whispered to her, "Sister! I also want to dig traps with my uncles."

Xu Xiaomi thought about it, everyone was really tired these four or five days, aunts and cousins ​​are all relatives, not workers, why don't everyone take a rest today.

So she stood up and said loudly: "We all rest today, those of you who are willing to catch prey should catch prey, and those who are willing to dig traps should dig traps.

However, the trap has to be dug on our own territory, you know?
At noon, I'll cook something delicious for you, and I'll be back by then!Don't wait until the time passes, we'll eat all the delicious food by then, so don't cry! "

"Hahahaha! Good! Rest today! I'm going to dig traps with my uncles."

Xu Hao was very happy to hear that everyone was resting!
Xu Xiaoting heard that everyone can go to the mountains to catch prey, and she ran to her grandfather to dig traps.

He hugged Grandpa's leg and said, "Grandpa! I'm going to the mountains too, so take me there!"

Xu Xiaomi walked over and patted her head and said, "Grandpa has been tired for so long, and finally rested today, so he won't go to the mountains! If you want to go, go with your brothers and sisters!"

Xu Xiaoting looked at her innocently and said, "Can I? My sister doesn't object?"

Xu Xiaomi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this, and gently squeezed her baby-fat face with her hands, saying, "You girl, we usually go to the mountains to work, and no one will take care of you when you go, but today we go to play, and everyone can take care of you." you!
You little heartless one, my sister loves you so much, I'm afraid no one will see you bumped into me!You still hold a grudge? "

"Giggle cluck..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xu Xiaoting giggled embarrassedly after hearing Xu Xiaomi's words!
The adults all laughed when they heard this!

Xu Xiaomi won't say any more, let everyone bring the tools they need to go, and remember to come back for lunch!
It doesn't matter how many prey are caught and how many traps are dug by those who go to the mountains.Xu Xiaomi went to look at the meat at home.There are not a few yuan left, so I have to find a way to buy a pig back, or I will have nothing to eat.

However, just after the new year, there were refugees and robbers, and it was probably difficult to buy pigs, which was very worrying for Xu Xiaomi.

This is how to do ah?As the saying goes: "Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first!"

This has not started to officially repair the house, how can there be no meat to eat?

She walked over listlessly and sat down beside Zhou Yuqing who was holding the soles of her shoes.Seeing that grandma was fighting for the cloth she wanted to bring back when she bought cloth.

She sighed long, causing both grandma and mother to look at her suspiciously.

Zhou Yuqing looked at her daughter so abnormally, and asked, "What's the matter? This is it? Why are you sighing?"

Xu Xiaomi said weakly: "Oh! Mom, grandma, do you know which one sells pigs? We are building a house and we need to buy a pig to kill for meat!"

The grandma looked at this very thoughtful granddaughter and said, "Your child, in this famine year, where are there pigs? There were a few days ago, and now they have been ruined by those robbers!"

Mother Zhou Yuqing continued: "Maybe, the place near Qinglong Town was robbed. We haven't heard much about it yet!"

Xu Xiaomi replied not very optimistic: "I hope! But, how many of us here can afford to feed pigs?"

Grandma said: "Yes! At the beginning, our family raised three pigs. On the night of the third day of the junior high school, that gang of robbers came and injured four of your uncles because of the three pigs. Your grandfather almost died.

At that time, I thought ah!As long as there are people around, why not feed a few pigs?Just dragged the fourth uncle who wanted to chase out and snatch the pig back, and let those beasts drive the pig away! "
