Chapter 4

This time, Gu Ge didn't resist, nor did he hide in fright, his big eyes were full of confusion.

Qiao Lianlian felt affection for her, so he simply hugged her and said softly, "Xiao Wu is hungry?"

Gu Ge looked at her ignorantly, and subconsciously nodded.

The brothers and sisters at the side were all sweating in their palms.

This is also one of the common tricks used by the original owner. Every time she asks the children if they are hungry in a soft voice, when someone nods and says they are hungry, she will lose her temper hysterically. How hard it is.

However, this time, the expected storm did not appear, Qiao Lianlian just nodded, "That's fine, you wait here, I'll cook right away."

She put Gu Ge back on the bed, went to the courtyard to pick up the dilapidated kettle, and went into the even dilapidated kitchen.

There was still no water in the house, but Qiao Lianlian didn't panic anymore. She stretched out her hands and said "pure water" silently in her heart. Suddenly, a whole bucket of unopened pure water placed in the laboratory appeared. her palm.

Boy, really heavy.

With great difficulty, Qiao put the bucket on the stove, unwrapped the plastic seal, and poured the water into the broken kettle.

I don't know how long these kettles haven't been washed. They are dirty inside. As a cleanliness patient, Qiao repeatedly washed them three times before he dared to pour in the water.

At this time, a new problem came, how to burn firewood?

Accustomed to using natural gas and induction cookers, Joe struggled with firewood for 10 minutes but couldn't get it done.

Finally she gave up, poured the pure water into the bucket, and shouted to the main house, "Bring a boiler."

There is no meeting, Gu Que is here.

Under the tyranny of the original owner, Gu Que is good at burning firewood and cooking, and the bottom of the pot is lit up with raging fireworks.

Qiao Lianlian first boiled a pot of water, poured it into a bowl for the children to drink first, then turned over a bowl of brown rice in the rice tank, added two scoops of water, and boiled a pot of thick brown rice.

She also wanted to cook a dish, but unfortunately the family was really poor, and it was a severe cold season, and there was no grass, so she had to give up.

But that's it, it's great.

You know, the original owner usually cooks porridge, and puts only a handful of rice in two scoops of water.

She drank the thickest bowl by herself, and the children could only eat a grain of rice.

It's not like now, each person has a bowl of thick rice, and the few children who drink it don't even care about the heat, they gulp down their mouths, and when they finish drinking, they have to lick the bowl wall with their tongues before giving up.

After the meal, Gu Que took the initiative to stand up, folded the bowls into a pile and brushed them.

After everything was packed, Qiao Lianlian announced with great grief, "Our family has the last handful of rice left, and we will soon run out of food."

The flushed cheeks of the children who were eating just now turned pale in an instant.

Gu Cheng's lips trembled several times before he asked in a low voice, "Are you going to sell us out after giving us a full meal?"

Qiao was startled again and again, only then did he understand why Gu Cheng was so preoccupied just now that he couldn't even taste the taste of brown rice.

It turned out that I was thinking too much!

"You child, why do you like to think about things?" Qiao gave him an angry look, "Since you call me mother, you are my own children, how can you sell you?"

But in this way, how does a family of six eat?

Qiao Lianlian had already thought about it.

When she went to look for Gu Que and others before, she found that Gu's village was backed by mountains, and people in the village often hunted for a living. Although it was winter, there were many animals that did not hibernate. As long as they were careful, they could always catch some game.

"I'm going to the mountains to find something to eat. You stay at home and take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and don't go out and walk around indiscriminately." Qiao repeatedly told the two older children.

Both Gu Cheng and Gu Que stared at her in a daze, their eyes filled with disbelief.

This stepmother was the most timid in the past. Gu Cheng told her several times that she could go hunting, but she refused to go, and instead scolded Gu Cheng, thinking that he was hoping for her to die in the back mountain.

Now, the stepmother has changed, she has become so strange, she has become chilling to the bone, for fear that she will hold back even worse tricks.

Qiao Lianlian didn't care what these children thought, she had to eat and make money if she wanted to survive, not only for raising the children, but also for herself.

After closing the broken wooden door, Qiao Lianlian strode towards the back hill.

It will be in the afternoon, and every family will take a lunch break after eating, and the whole back mountain is quiet, which is a bit frightening, but it is more to Qiao Lianlian's liking.

When she came to a remote place, she lowered her head and said "A7" silently, and a small and exquisite short-barreled weapon appeared in her palm.

This is Qiao Lianyi's most personal treasure when she was overcoming obstacles in the Qiao family. It was given to her by the previous head of the Qiao family. It has been with her for 20 years, throughout her entire green years, and it is also the most convenient weapon for her to use.

Putting A7 into her arms, she cleverly climbed up a branch of an old tree and waited quietly on it.

About ten minutes later, there was movement behind the withered grass in the northeast corner. Qiao repeatedly loaded the A7, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

"Boom" sound.

A black sheep fell to the ground with blood splattered.

At the same time, a child also fell and rolled out.

Gu Cheng was a little flustered, he just wanted to see what bad idea his stepmother had, so he followed her.

As a result, out of nowhere, he heard a loud noise, his feet slipped in shock, and he fell under the big tree.

Then, when she looked up, she happened to see the stepmother's half-smile face.

For the first time in Gu Cheng's nine years of life, his hair stood on end.

Qiao Lian slid down from the tree, walked up to Gu Cheng, thought for a moment, and stretched out a hand to him.

Gu Cheng stared blankly at her, and after a long while, he raised his arm tentatively.

The next moment, Qiao repeatedly pulled him up and patted the grass off his body.

Just like all mothers do to their sons, they complained slightly, "What are you doing here, you are still hiding behind..."

But when he saw the big black sheep, Qiao Lianlian changed his voice again, "Since they are all here, let's carry the sheep away together."

This sheep is quite big, and she may not be able to resist because of her weak body. Now a laborer is delivered to the door, and it is not in vain.

The couple tied the hooves of the sheep with straw ropes, then passed a thick wooden stick through them, one in front and the other behind, and carried the sheep home like this.

It was inevitable to meet people from the same village on the way. Qiao Lianlian explained with a smile, saying that she happened to pick up the sheep when she saw the sheep fell to its death.

In the winter, you can still pick up a sheep that fell to death.

The envious eyes of the villagers were all red, but there was nothing they could do, who made this their prey.

However, there are always some people who are uneasy and well-intentioned.

When the news that "Gu Lao San's family picked up a sheep on the mountain" reached the Zhang family, the shrewd Aunt Zhang's eyes flickered for a long time, and finally glanced at her second son, and the mother and daughter went straight to the mountain.
