Cheng Mingli took his sister and left, but the patriarch did not stop them when he saw them leaving. The four Cheng Mingyi brothers were annoyed for a moment. When they saw that the patriarch did not speak, they knew that it was indeed what they said, and the third uncle and three aunts agreed.
So, they don't care anymore.
No one cared about them, Cheng Mingli and Mingyi were even happier, and walked hand in hand into the forest; they didn't look for game specifically, they just walked and walked, using Qinggong, they walked much farther than before.
After climbing over two mountains, the view is still endless and yellow, with no other color.
The trees are dry and cracked, and there are cracks in the ground, showing the extent of the drought.
"This is what happened in the mountains." The road to escape in the future should not be much better.
Cheng Mingli didn't hear what she said next, and only said: "The drought is too serious. It's not sure whether we can have supplies in the next town."
Seeing this, he thought of his grandparents' original plan; to buy food, salt and other daily necessities in the town. However, with the mountains and forests now like this, how could it be better outside? It will only get worse.
When the drought is serious, people will flee like them, where can they find supplies?
"Brother, we'll talk about it when we get to the next town. It's too early to talk about this now."
"Yeah." Cheng Mingli nodded slowly, but couldn't calm down inside.
After wandering around the mountains, I couldn't find any game; I did find five ginseng plants that had been dried in the sun. These ginsengs lost their medicinal effect in the soil and were of little use, so they couldn't be sold.
"Let's go, brother, it's almost noon and we should go back; take the dried ginseng back to stew meat and eat it. It is ginseng after all." Even if it loses its medicinal properties and has no curative effect, nourishing the body is better than nothing.
"Go back." With a sigh, Cheng Mingli led his sister back using Qinggong.
After more than half an hour's journey, we returned to the grassland; the tribesmen were still digging wild vegetables, and Cheng Mingyi and others were also there. They had piles of wild vegetables around them, which looked like a mountain. It looked like they were dried in the sun, but not much.
Mingyi did not get in front of her cousins, but took her brother to an area on the edge of the grass where no one gathered.
After gathering a handful of wild vegetables and weeds, Cheng Mingli handed five ginseng plants to Mingyi. He took off his clothes and put the wild vegetables in. When the clothes could no longer fit, he took his sister with him to find his cousin.
Cheng Mingyi glanced at them, then looked at Cheng Mingli's well-wrapped clothes, "Did you catch game?"
"No, my cousin, my sister and I are going back first; you should go back early when you're done. The family should have cooked dinner." Cheng Mingli smiled slightly, his attitude was calm, but there was also a slight change that was not obvious.
Cheng Mingyi said nothing, only watched the brothers and sisters walk out of the grassland. He squatted down and continued to dig wild vegetables.
Cheng Minglian came over holding the dug wild vegetables, "Brother, what's going on with my little cousin and little cousin? It's okay if they don't move with us these days. If they meet us, they will go alone; this was not like this before." "
"Don't worry about them." Cheng Mingyi shook his head, lowered his head and continued to dig wild vegetables, "With three uncles and three aunts, it's not our turn to care about anything they do."
Cheng Minglian couldn't ask anything useful, so he could only continue working.
Cheng Mingzhi and Cheng Mingxin smiled and raised their voices and said to Cheng Minglian: "Mingli is still young and Mingyi is even younger. It's normal to be playful. They will also look for food after they have played enough. I see they have some food on their hands." A package of stuff, I guess it’s wild vegetables.”
"Yes, Yiyi and Mingli are young, so it's normal for them to like to play a little." Cheng Mingxin said with a smile, "But why didn't Yueyue come?"
Cheng Mingyi carefully thought about what his two cousins said and found that they were right; when they were children, they also loved to play and were playful! I don’t want to be controlled by adults.
"Yueyue follows my mother. She doesn't like to run out; my mother takes her to look for food in the valley." Cheng Mingyi said, feeling helpless at his sister's alienation.
Cheng Minglian had a big heart and said with a smile: "She has reached a beautiful age, and she is afraid of being exposed in the sun."
"How old is she? Yiyi is not afraid of her, so what is she afraid of?" Cheng Mingxin rolled his eyes, "They are all girls, she is afraid of being exposed to the sun, isn't Yiyi afraid?"
Cheng Minglian scratched his head, how should he answer this.
Cheng Mingyi sighed, "Don't worry about her, she will work like my mother, as long as she is not lazy."
Brothers Cheng Mingxin and Cheng Mingzhi both wanted to fight back, as if following their aunt would stop them from being lazy; who would believe it? When they think they are stupid, Cheng Mingyue is the most lazy when she is with her aunt. After all, she is the flesh that fell off her body. If she doesn't care for her, who will care for her?
"Yueyue's temper, please tell me more about your eldest cousin and your third cousin. Don't always find faults." He didn't do much work, he ate a lot, he just had nothing to do; he always likes to find trouble. , these cousins were also picked on, and they were treated strangely.
"How could she listen to us?" Cheng Mingyi said with helplessness written on his face.
Cheng Minglian said sarcastically: "Sister, it's true that I'm a little bit arrogant, but my parents are already teaching me. I've changed my mind now that I think about it, and I won't be so talkative in the future."
Cheng Mingzhi listened silently but didn't take it seriously.
Cheng Mingxin obviously didn't believe it, "Can her virtue be changed? Is it because she was afraid of being beaten by the eldest aunt, so she restrained herself a little."
"Okay, cousin Yueyue is also young, so she can change over time." Cheng Mingzhi spoke up in time to avoid embarrassing the two cousins.
Aren't they embarrassed that their biological sister from the same mother is not involved in other people's affairs?
Awkward!
But, so what, the parents can hit, but the brothers can't do it; everyone does it, and it doesn't sound good for an older, married brother to hit his sister.
"If you don't say it, don't say it. If she makes trouble again, my cousin won't tolerate it anymore." Cheng Ming felt confident, got up and walked away to find another place to dig wild vegetables.
The embarrassment on the faces of Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Minglian almost fell off. They both complained a lot about their sister.
For example, Cheng Mingyi is married, but Cheng Mingyue doesn't want to have a good relationship with his sister-in-law; instead, he is often irritated with her sister-in-law. As the sister-in-law, what can Wang Fengya say? You can't fight your sister-in-law because of one or two words in your husband's family, right?
Can my mother-in-law be happy if she talks badly?
I have no choice but to endure it.
Wang Fengya couldn't bear it, but she was not stupid. She turned around and confided her unhappiness to Cheng Mingyi, her husband.
Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a science; if there is a sister-in-law interfering in the middle, most daughters-in-law will be angry with the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law will also be angry with the daughter-in-law. Is it good to express anger in both directions?
Cheng Mingyi is the sandwich biscuit in the middle.
It’s strange that there are no complaints!
Cheng Minglian is relatively better off, there is no wife around, no one is blowing pillows; when getting along with Cheng Mingyue, it is rare to be criticized or looked down upon.
None of the brothers ran away, they were all passed over by Cheng Mingyue.
