The courtyard is quiet and peaceful at night.
Mingyi left the small courtyard while everyone was sleeping, and first searched the house where she lived. She found two granaries in the house, but there was no food in them, and they were all taken away.
Since there wasn't one here, she went to the next rich household's granary to look for it. After searching seven or eight rich households in a row, she found a granary where a batch of old grain was kept; the grain bags weighed one hundred catties, and there were twenty-three grain bags in total, that is, Two thousand three hundred kilograms of grain.
She only made a cursory inspection and found that there were thousands of kilograms of rice and only two hundred kilograms of white flour; the rest were coarse grains, such as millet and brown rice, which accounted for the vast majority.
Mingyi, who had closed the door to others, also went in and walked around, collecting gold, silver, jewelry, cotton, silk and other unused fabrics into the space one by one.
As for the quilts, thick clothes, candles, and oil lamps that can be used, I will also collect them when I see the kitchen utensils.
After walking around the houses in the town, she returned to the small courtyard just before dawn. She opened the door and lay down to sleep, which was a dark sleep.
Cheng Yuanxi, Chen Daya, and Cheng Mingli didn't see Mingyi when they got up. They went to Mingyi's room and took a look. Seeing that she was sleeping deeply, they let her sleep.
After walking out of the room and closing the door, Chen Daya said distressedly: "Yiyi is too tired."
"Let her sleep. It's good for a child's health to sleep more. It'll be fine." Cheng Yuanxi was not worried. It was not obvious along the way, but a daughter is a girl after all, and a girl's body is more delicate than a boy's.
She persevered on the road to escape, but she was exhausted.
Cheng Mingli felt guilty secretly. He didn't realize that his sister would be so tired, "Mom and Dad, I didn't take good care of my sister."
"I don't blame you." Chen Daya also felt sorry for her son. "You followed us on the road, working, and looking for food. You are also very tired. Yiyi is too strong, and her parents didn't notice that she was so tired."
"Mom and Dad, my sister's health is not as good as mine. I'm afraid my sister's health won't be able to bear it if I keep traveling like this. Let's go look for anything in the town that can help make my sister feel more relaxed."
Thinking of his sister's neat hunting skills, he felt guilty and heartbroken; even though his sister was so tired, Cheng Mingyue still made sarcastic remarks every day when nothing happened. She was so weird and disgusting.
Cheng Yuanxi hesitated for a moment, then Chen Daya said: "Your grandparents will not agree."
"Mom, dad, I'll go look for you." Cheng Mingli walked out of the courtyard first.
If the grandfather doesn't agree, he won't agree. Just because the grandfather doesn't agree, he can't stop taking care of his sister; how can the delicate and soft sister be able to endure the upcoming escape? It would be better to have someone to take her place.
Cheng Yuanxi did not hold his son, and was reluctant to hold him, so he acquiesced.
Chen Daya shook her head and sighed, "We are sorry for Yiyi, making her so tired at such a young age."
"Let Mingli go. As a brother, I feel sorry for my sister. That's right. I hope I can find something to move around, even a stroller. I have the strength to do it. When my daughter is tired, she can sit in the car and I push her for a while."
That's how the misunderstanding arose.
Mingyi, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know this.
Cheng Mingli ran out of the yard where he lived, and first looked for an unlocked house. He didn't find any livestock, but found two pushable wheelbarrows. With difficulty, he lifted one wheelbarrow and pushed it to the other, and slowly pushed it towards the place where he lived.
I haven't eaten breakfast, I'm hungry now, and I'm still half a kid. I feel a little weak when I walk.
Pushing a wheelbarrow into the house, the three members of the Cheng family gathered together to collect wild vegetables, and separated some fine grains for each person to carry. Cheng Mingli brought the cart back and attracted the attention of Cheng Dazhu and others.
"Pushcart! That's great!" Cheng Mingyue ran over happily and pushed Cheng Mingli away. "Mom and dad, there is a stroller. Can I take the stroller?"
Cheng Mingli frowned deeply, "I found this for my sister, not you."
"Ming Li, did you go to someone else's house again?" Cheng Dazhu asked sharply.
Cheng Mingyue flinched and immediately became happy again when she saw that her grandfather was not targeting her. She proudly raised her chin towards Cheng Mingli and ran to find her parents happily.
Cheng Yuanxi stood up, "Dad, I asked Mingli to go. Yiyi has been too tired during this period. He hasn't woken up yet. There is no doctor on the way. I wonder if there is something wrong with Yiyi's body. In order for Yiyi not to be so tired. , then I asked Mingli to find a means of transportation."
"You guys." Cheng Dazhu was deeply dissatisfied.
Cheng Yuanxi was not afraid and said bluntly, "Dad, Yiyi is sensible, well-behaved, filial and courteous. She did what she was supposed to do along the way, and she did what she wasn't supposed to do. She never complained about hardship or tiredness."
"That's because she feels sorry for me and her mother. You can't ignore Yiyi's feelings because of this; she is very tired, no matter how tired she is, she is either looking for food outside or hunting game. You know how dangerous it is in the mountains. .”
"However, she never flinched. Yiyi took Mingli and ran in the mountains. For this reason, her mother was always worried that she would be damaged by the sun and would not be able to raise her when she got there."
"She slept so deeply this time because she was too tired, too tired. I feel sorry for my daughter and want her to relax, even if it means abandoning the reserve that a scholar should have."
It was the first time that Cheng Dazhu's youngest son stood up to confront him so resolutely, so resolute that he knew his determination without saying a word.
Chen Daya mustered up the courage to step forward and stood side by side with Cheng Yuanxi, "Father, mother, please forgive my daughter-in-law for saying something unfilial today; people say that children who can cry will get milk, but my Yiyi is the one who can't Crying child.”
With Cheng Mingyue as a comparison, Luo Cuihua's face heated up. She did pay more attention to Cheng Mingyue; she knew every emotion about her. Her biggest impression of Mingyi was that she was sensible, polite, filial and generous, but she forgot that a What do children want to be sensible, courteous and generous?
Cheng Yuandong glanced at his daughter who was smiling heartlessly, wanting to beat her hard again.
"My family Yiyi will not cry, in order to help our incompetent parents share the burden of finding food outside; therefore, we love our children, and please turn a blind eye to our family's extraordinary behavior. .”
Cheng Dazhu felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain, and turned his head to glare at Luo Cuihua. It turned out that before he noticed, his youngest son had already had such a big opinion against Cheng Mingyue.
Yes, she is obviously the granddaughter of the Cheng family. There are only two granddaughters in total; one is idle and lazy, but she can live a good life. A sensible person knows how to go out to find food, and they take it for granted.
This time, the little granddaughter collapsed from exhaustion, causing the third son and his wife to completely explode.
And Luo Cuihua's unconscious partiality was probably noticed by the couple; they would only feel more sorry for Mingyi, so it is understandable for the third son and his family to do this.
"Third brother, third younger brother and sister." Li Lianhua came out and wanted to excuse her daughter, but Chen Daya raised her hand to stop her, "Sister-in-law, I didn't talk about anyone else, I just asked my parents to feel sorry for Yiyi; let us use push The car allows me and her father to push Yiyi for a short distance when she feels tired, so that she will not be so tired."
