Wu Cuihua'er also jumped out, cursing, "Those ungrateful things even ate our family's fish last night, just now they just refused to help."

Li Laosi gave her a cold look and refused to respond.The third sister-in-law also knew that she was protecting the luggage and his wife and children. The second sister-in-law would stand up when she had something to gain, and hide when things happened. If it wasn't for the second brother, he really wanted to slap her so hard that she would gnaw her teeth all over the place.

When Mrs. Li and others rushed back, she heard that the food was robbed, and she also had a bad face. Wu Cuihua jumped up and down, as if she had just done her best to protect the food.

Mrs. Li knocked on the cigarette pot, "Shut up, no one in the family knows what virtue you have! If you dare to talk too much, don't eat at night."

"The food is gone, what else is there to eat!" Wu Cuihua'er dodged the cigarette pot and muttered something, causing the whole family to look coldly.

Mrs. Li took the swaddling baby, looked at her little granddaughter's bright eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma's Fu Niuer, aren't you scared? Grandma is back, we are not afraid."

Jiayin returned her saliva, trying to comfort the old lady, but babbled.

This actually made Mrs. Li even more happy, "Forget it, if there is no food, it will be gone, as long as the family is safe. Besides, we still have a little girl named Fu in our family. If we get some good luck, we won't be hungry."

Wu Cuihua'er curled her lips, and wanted to say something to make trouble, but Li's second child pulled her away, "Go and pack your things, we have to hurry."

Wu Cuihua'er rolled her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Jiayin lay in her mother's arms, and took her father's unicycle back to the road, her little brows were frowning, trying to think about how to not be so shocking, but also to really help the family.

It's a pity that her little brain is not yet fully developed, and she couldn't figure out a way, so she fell asleep first...

When Jiayin woke up again, it was already time to rest at noon.

The sun was shining now, Tao Hongying was afraid that her daughter would be exposed to the sun, so she asked Jiaxi and Jiaan to pick up a few sticks, tied them with strips of cloth, covered them with a big cloth shirt of Li Laosi, and made it A simple pergola for shade.

Wu Cuihua turned her head to glance at Jiayin from time to time, and she was muttering about something, probably not a good thing.

The food was taken away, and now there is only half a bag of millet left on the donkey cart, as well as the sweet potatoes dug up before.

A big family, and those half-sized children, this little thing can't last long at all.

Mrs. Li took two puffs of her cigarette pipe and pot, and her slightly cloudy eyes were full of worry.

"Fourth, the millet and sweet potatoes are safe, keep them for now, you can go to the mountain to see if you can find something to eat." Mrs. Li turned her head to see that her granddaughter's eyes were still closed, and she lowered her voice a little.

Li Laosi readily agreed, and went up the mountain with his bow and arrows on his back.Several boys wanted to follow, but were driven back by Li Laosi.

There are many people, but it is not easy to hunt. They are impetuous, and even if there is a pheasant and hare, they have to be scared away by them.

Jiayin heard Mrs. Li's words, opened her eyes and looked over, only seeing her father's strong back, a little worried.

In such a famine year, even people have nothing to eat, how can those wild game survive?

Without her following her, it would be no wonder her father could hunt live animals!

Jiayin hurriedly stretched out her small hand and grabbed in the direction of Li Laosi, babbling, trying to call her father back.

Tao Hongying thought that Jiayin was hungry, so she hugged her and nursed her.

Jiayin took a mouthful of milk abruptly, and the baby's nature made her swallow subconsciously. With such an interruption, Li Lao Si went away completely.

Jiayin sighed silently, alas, that's all, let her follow her next time.

Half an hour later, there was no Jiayin secretly taking things out of the space, so it was conceivable that Li Laosi returned empty-handed.

There are a lot of people around here, not to mention the game on the mountain, even the bark of the trees is almost stripped, and there is no shadow of wild fruits and vegetables.

When everyone saw Li Laosi coming back empty-handed, although they had already made psychological preparations, they still felt a little sad when they thought of the little food left.

Li Laoer looked at his younger brother's dark face with guilt, raised his hand and patted his shoulder lightly, jokingly said.

"Look, you can't do without Fu Niuer by your side, right? Let me tell you, you should hug Fu Niuer before you leave, maybe you can catch a pheasant hare or something!"

When he joked like this, it dispelled a little bit of the sorrow that had just filled the surroundings of the Li family, and everyone laughed twice.

Jiayin quite agrees with what Li Laoer said, she grins her small mouth, rubs up and down on the two rows of toothless bald gums, and babbles in response.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li smiled more and more happily, stretched out her hand to tease her granddaughter, and dangled in front of her with the cigarette pouch hanging under the pot.

"..." Jiayin's face was full of black lines, why did this action look so like teasing a puppy.

Thinking so in her heart, she still stretched out her little hand resignedly to grab it, which made Mrs. Li and the others laugh again.

"My younger sister is not only a lucky girl, but also a pistachio!" Jia An laughed until her teeth were showing, clapping her hands and said.

Although they didn't find anything good on the mountain, the Li family couldn't go hungry. Mrs. Li grabbed a handful of millet and two sweet potatoes, which were not too big, and gave them to the third daughter-in-law to cook them into a paste.

Zhao Yuru carefully held the sweet potatoes and millet, put them in the pot, and took them to the river to wash them.

Wu Cuihua'er stretched her neck to look at the half bag of sweet potatoes, and then at the two brothers Jiaxi and Jia'an who were milking the goats for Jiayin. Her eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

It wasn't until Zhao Yuru came back with the pot that Wu Cuihua'er lazily started to help.

"Hey, does the fourth daughter-in-law have enough milk now?" Wu Cuihua'er and Zhao Yuru got together and asked her in a low voice.

Zhao Yuru was cutting sweet potatoes into small pieces, when she heard Wu Cuihua'er asking this, she paused and looked at her suspiciously, "What are you asking?"

Wu Cuihua'er never cared much about Tao Hongying, but now she suddenly asked if she had enough milk, and she felt that she had no good intentions.

"I'll just ask." Wu Cuihua'er was a little guilty, raised her hand to wipe her nose, and continued to help Zhao Yuru with her work.

A handful of millet, two sweet potatoes, and half a pot of water were added, and finally everyone was given a bowl of thick sweet potato and millet paste.

Zhao Yuru's eyes were sharp, and she saw a small clump of green and yellow wild vegetables by the river, and adding them to the paste added some flavor.

A few big men and half-grown kids snorted and drank a bowl of mush, not even half full.

Zhao Yuru drank half of the bowl, and poured the rest of his bowl into Li Laosan's bowl with a calm expression.

In this world of famine and chaos, if their family wants to survive, they still have to rely on these gentlemen. It's okay for her to eat less, but she has to let her men eat more.

Li Laosan looked at his wife with guilt and distress, and finally raised his head and drank the paste.

But Wu Cuihua'er didn't seem to notice Zhao Yuru's actions, she finished her drink in a few sips, and cast a sneaky glance at Old Madam Li, seeing that her expression was still kind, she dared to speak.
