Chapter 956
"I want all of your food. Here is a total of eight taels of silver. Take it and see what Xiao Qi wants and buy some for him. I think this is enough for you to live for three months." Shen Qiqi didn't agree. Knowing the market conditions of folk life, eight taels of silver should allow the two of them to live a good life for two months.

"My lord, there is too much money. It's not three months. At least it will let us live for a year. You don't need to spend so much and don't need to give money. Give us all of them. I'll go up the mountain to pick weeds later. Roots are fine, and my embroidery is pretty good too. I can get dried corn by embroidering a few flowered handkerchiefs and selling them." Sanniang was very simple, and the teacher was unwilling to take Shen Qiqi's money and return Shen Qiqi's silver When she came to Shen Qiqi, Shen Qiqi shook her head, put the silver in Xiao Qi's hand, stroked Xiao Qi's hair and said with a smile.

"Xiao Qi is a good boy. If you have money to spare, send him to a school to study. Let's see if he can pass the exam." Shen Qiqi saw that Xiao Qi looked smart and smart.The rolling eyeballs are really cute. He thought that this child would have a bright future if he studied. As expected, Xiao Qiyi clapped his hands and laughed when he heard that he could go to school.

"I'm going to study, I'm going to study, in the future I'm going to win the exam, I can give you a good life, you don't have to pick wild vegetables anymore, every time you go to pick wild roots, I have to worry about where It's the territory of those people in the quarry." Xiao Qi didn't refuse like Sanniang, after all, he was naive, he held the silver in front of Sanniang, his eyes flashed with desire and concern, Sanniang couldn't help sighing after hearing what Xiaoqi said In one breath, he also lightly touched Xiao Qi's head.

"Only the quarry has a lot of wild vegetable roots. If my mother doesn't go there, how can I step on them? You can't go with your mother when you are too young. Stay at home, and your mother will pick back the wild vegetable roots and won't make you hungry. Come on, be obedient." Sanniang sighed and patted Xiao Qi's head again, asking her to return the money to Shen Qiqi.Xiao Qi felt very sorry for the silver in his hand, and did not dare to disobey Sanniang's order, walked up to Shen Qiqi, took the silver with both hands and returned it to Shen Qiqi.

Looking at his disappointed eyes, Shen Qiqi couldn't bear it.She stretched out her hand to Qi Zhao, and Qi Zhao took out the two taels of silver that she was carrying.Shen Qiqi put another two taels of silver in Xiao Qi's hand, and it was a total of ten taels of silver.

"Take it, I'm fine, as long as you can live a better life, Sanniang, I still have something to ask you." Shen Qiqi walked up to Sanniang with Xiaoqi's hand, Sanniang saw Shen Qi Qi insisted on this, and did not delay any further, after putting away the money, she returned to Shen Qiqi, and Shen Qiqi was not polite.

"Xiao Qi, go outside to play with pigs first, and come in later." Although Sanniang is simple and kind, she can see that Shen Qiqi will ask her next question, and she probably doesn't want Xiao Qi to see it, because Qi Zhao She kept looking at Xiao Qi, she was stingy and obedient to her son, she nodded and ran out.Shen Qiqi looked at Xiao Qi's back and felt that Sanniang had Xiao Qi's comfort, and she had hope in her miserable days.

"Sanniang, what I said is true. I used ten taels of silver to collect all your porridge, wild vegetable roots, and corn. There is nothing left. You have to give it all to me." Shen Qiqi's kind expression confirmed it. Not allowing Sanniang to refuse, Sanniang quickly agreed, and at that time two bottles could buy countless corns.

"Can you take me to the place where you collect the weed roots? I want to know where, and I want to collect the weed roots there." Shen Qiqi directly put forward her request, and Sanniang agreed without hesitation. Compared with the kindness that saved the two of them, this request is simply insignificant.

Originally, Shen Qiqi wanted to go with her, but she wanted Shen Qiqi to stay: "You stay here, I will take Sanniang to go back and forth by myself, and when I know where I am taking you, I will take you That one grass root came back with a little bit, so you don't need to run back and forth." Shen Qiqi knew that what was being said was true, he led Sanniang to perform lightness kung fu alone and walked faster, if she also followed, it would only be a waste of time, she agreed At Qi Zhao's request, stay in Sanniang's room and wait for them to come back.

Shen Qiqi sat bored, Xiao Qi hadn't come back yet, she stood up and went out to have a look, the surroundings were surrounded by houses similar to Sanniang's house, occasionally a few people walked out of the house, they felt like they were walking stooped, stumbling, with two A middle-aged man was still on crutches. Shen Qiqi felt very familiar with their symptoms. She had seen them somewhere, but she couldn't explain clearly for a moment. She walked over while thinking, and everyone approached their respective homes. Shen Qiqi walked to the window of a house, the window sills were covered with yellow mud, Shen Qiqi wanted to walk over, but the voice from inside attracted her.

"Father, don't get up. I've done everything. You're still lying on the bed with your hands and feet weak. I'll bring it to you to eat. Don't come over." It was the voice of a middle-aged man, and Shen Qiqi couldn't help but think that there must be some part of this voice. It was said by a person on crutches. She didn't know why she thought of this. When she glanced in from the corner of the window and saw the crutches in the corner, she was sure that what she thought was right. He didn't move and continued to listen to the words inside. Father and son dialogue.

"I've been lying down for so long, and I also want to get up and take a walk. If I don't leave, I'm afraid my old bones will have to confess. What did you do again? Can you line up to get the food?" Seeing the food on the table, the old man seemed to be much more happy. Shen Qiqi wanted to see clearly what it was, but she was not tall enough, so she could only continue listening to the conversation between the two.

"How can I get in the queue? Those people are all like wolves and tigers. Even if I go to the queue early, I can't get a grain. These are all picked from Baicao Mountain. Today I am lucky to pick them." Some mushrooms, and I went to find a piece of lard, boiled a pot of soup, and simmered the accumulated rice, we haven’t eaten soup and rice for a long time, I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive if you don’t eat any more.” The middle-aged man Bringing the rice and mushroom soup in front of the old man, Shen Qiqi adjusted the angle and saw that the house inside was the same as Sanniang's house, it was completely bare, the clothes of the two father and son inside were all patched, the middle-aged man was careful Bringing the mushroom soup to the mouth of the old man, the old man held himself tremblingly and took a sip from the bowl.

"You're right. We don't know how long we haven't eaten rice. Your mother saved these rice. It's a pity that your mother couldn't bear it and left earlier than me. If she can take a sip of this mushroom soup It would be nice to keep walking. The epidemic is so serious that so many people have no energy to walk and are lying on the bed, not knowing what's going on." The old man looked down at the soup in his hand, thinking that his wife's eyes were red .Shen Qiqi really couldn't look in, couldn't bear to look anymore, she walked around to the door of this family, knocked on the door lightly, the middle-aged man was alert and immediately took down the bowl from the old man's hand, and asked sharply, "Who? "
