Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 30
Ma Qifeng panted heavily, "What nonsense are you talking about..." After speaking, he pulled his little daughter and walked forward.

"Ma Laoliu, you've been wandering around outside all day, do you think you've set up a separate family?"

Ma Qifeng turned his head and stared, "I don't wander around outside, who will support my child?"

"Hee hee... an old man looks like a woman, tsk tsk... how pathetic..." Ma Qiguang laughed and walked towards Jingtai Lane.

Alas, Ma Min'er sighed secretly, fortunately she was thrown into 'father''s house, if she was thrown into this person's house, she would have starved to death and ascended to heaven.

Until now, Ma Min'er's family has been outside the Ma family. On the one hand, the Ma family deliberately squeezed them out, and they refused to share the food and water they bribed. On the other hand, father also clearly understood that he could not rely on them. , relying on himself to pull the four children all the way from the capital to Yunshui. Although they were too hungry to be human, they finally reached the destination alive.

Since she could survive thousands of miles, Ma Min'er didn't believe that she could starve to death in Yunshui Town.

When they arrived in front of the thatched cottage bought by Aunt Guo, although the little official said that the house had no roof and was ventilated everywhere, they were still shocked by the dilapidated level before them.

Ma Min'er couldn't believe what she saw. It was really a thatched cottage with four winds leaking from the sky and stars shining on it. Although it wasn't too big, there was a small gap between the five rooms, as if two The house foundations are very close. It is estimated that they used to be the houses of the two brothers. Otherwise, it would not be possible to be so close, like two house foundations. Great, it seems that they are specially prepared for the two of them.

"It's better than sleeping in the dew." Seeing the astonishment of the Ma family, Guo Li shook her head helplessly, thinking that she was indeed from Beijing. There were many houses like this in her previous village. She wasn't surprised at all.

"That's true!" Ma Min'er woke up first, being soaked in dew is easy to get sick, but I don't know how much I have been soaked all the way, is it... It's better not to think about it, it's good to be alive.

"Then... shall we start cleaning up then?" Guo Li asked politely.

Ma Qifeng nodded, "Sister Guo, what do you want to do?"

Guo Lishi said: "We used to use wet mud and orange sticks to plaster the walls, but now the bottom of the river is dry and there is no wet mud, so we can only use dead branches and weeds to make walls."

"Then sister-in-law of the Guo family, you can set an example, and Dalang and I will follow your example."

"Okay!"

The Ma and Guo families have walked along the way, and the bond of sharing weal and woe has been deeply forged. The two families built a wall together. Since there is no mud, it is not easy to build a wall, so they can only rely on branches to kill weeds.

The neighbors gathered around curiously, the peasants were simple, and they started to help while chatting, but Ma Qifeng's family couldn't intervene, and they stood aside in embarrassment.

Ma Min'er thought to herself, if there was water, she could still treat her, but now... She hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and waved at Guo Daping.

"Er...Er Niang!" For some reason, whether it was the little lady who caught her eye accidentally or was looking for Guo Daping for something, he would blush unconsciously and hurried over shyly.

Ma Min'er lowered her voice, "Go and buy a bamboo tube of water and two cakes."

"This……"

"Everyone is here to help, so you have to think about it."

Two copper coins and a bamboo tube of water, Guo Daping didn't dare to make decisions, looked at his mother, just took a step, Ma Min'er reached out and quietly stuffed four copper coins into his hand, the little lady's touch scared him so much that he almost let go copper.

"Brother Daping, don't let anyone find out, hurry up and buy water and cakes!"

"Oh!" Guo Daping flinched in fright from the little lady's solemn voice, and after a pause, he turned and walked towards the town.
