These words obviously hurt Huang Silang. Huang Silang blushed: "Then...then I'd better go back!"
Huang Dalang sighed and said: "Stay and eat! If you don't eat, won't the child want to eat? You are just too spoiled by Bai Lulu. If you don't obey, you should be beaten."
After saying that, he glared at Li Mei coldly. Li Mei, who was gnawing on the chicken neck, shrank her head and lowered her head without saying anything.
Huang Silang swallowed his saliva while looking at the dishes on the table and sat down. Mrs. Huang still served him and Guochang a bowl of soup with a piece of chicken in it.
Huang Silang devoured three bowls of rice. Old Mrs. Huang frowned and said, "Are you reincarnated as a starving ghost? Why? How many times have you not eaten?"
Only then did Huang Silang burp, and Huang Guochang next to him also ate a large bowl and drank a large bowl of chicken soup.
Huang Silang said helplessly: "There is no rice at home. I... Guochang and I don't have enough to eat every day."
Old Mrs. Huang frowned and said, "I remember that when we separated, I gave you five bags of whole grains. Have you eaten all of them?"
"She brought all the food back to her parents' house, saying that she would eat there anyway." Huang Silang's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
Bai Lulu did this on purpose. If she brought all the food back to her parents' home, Huang Silang would still have to go back to Mrs. Huang's place to eat. This plan made a crackling sound.
"Okay, you are so clear in your calculations." Mrs. Huang looked at Huang Silang and said, "What a great wife you are!"
At this time, Bai Lulu sat proudly at her parents' dining table and said, "Mom, your skills are really good. That old witch will probably be so angry that she will die!"
Mrs. Bai snorted coldly: "Everyone's family is short of food now. It's just right for them to go back to eat. You guys come back to eat every day."
Sister-in-law Bai Lulu was no longer willing: "Oh! I come here to eat every day, how can I have so much rice at home?"
Mrs. Bai snorted coldly: "My daughter pays five yuan to the house every month and gets nothing to eat. Shut up! You..."
Bai Lulu's sister-in-law could only shut up and stop talking. No wonder her mother-in-law hangs around Bai Lulu every day!
Why do you give so much money every month?
Naturally, the Huang family didn't know these things, but as time went on, every household had less food, and even the Bai family couldn't hold on any longer.
In just one month, all the food in the family was eaten up. The Bai family became anxious. Old Man Bai said: "Lulu! Food is so tight now. Do you think you should go back to the Huang family to eat?"
Bai Lulu looked at her parents and said, "Dad, how can I have the nerve to go back? Besides, that old witch doesn't want to see me at all."
Old Man Bai sighed and said, "I heard that your mother-in-law hid a lot of food. Why don't you go back and get some?"
Bai Lulu shook her head: "Dad, do I give you five yuan a month?"
But now it's not like you can just buy food if you want. There's been a rush for food outside.
Old Mrs. Bai said: "Master, I remember that the brigade was not given food?"
Old Man Bai quickly shook his head and said, "That grain is reserved for planting in the spring. We cannot use government-owned items."
Old Mrs. Bai looked at him and said, "We won't take more, just bring two bags back for use. When spring comes, can't we spend money to make up for it? Didn't we say that after the New Year, maybe there will be food distribution?" ?”
Old man Bai smoked a dry cigarette, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet at the end, and actually entered the village's grain depot and brought out two bags of grain.
Anyway, each village was allocated more than 20 bags of grain for planting. If there were two or three bags missing, it would not be noticeable at all.
Bai Lulu was full of pride, that is to say, because her father was so good, Mrs. Huang probably only had a meager meal every day. She thought about the feeling of eating wild vegetable porridge every day, and her heart was filled with disdain.
Mrs. Huang had a headache when she looked at her five sons and six grandchildren. It snowed in the Northeast for two months at a time, and she couldn't even go out.
The family consumes coarse grains every day, and even if they save a little more, they will eat a few bags of coarse grains. When the food at home is eaten, they have to eat what is hidden in the cave.
What if the food in the cave is eaten up?
Old Mrs. Huang hugged Fu Bao and said, "Tell me, what can we do now?"
After a long time, Huang Wulang said: "I plan to go into the mountains again, otherwise we won't have enough food until spring."
Now my family only eats two meals a day, one in the morning and one at noon.
Even so, it would be good if it can survive three months.
Mrs. Huang said with worry on her face: "Just you and your brother?"
Huang Wulang nodded and said, "I've already asked. Several of their families are unwilling, and I won't force them. We'll just wander around outside and come back in three days at most."
Fu Bao looked at him with bright eyes, so that she would be more able to help Huang Wulang at night.
At first, Mrs. Huang was reluctant, but thinking about the situation at home, she still sighed and said, "I don't know how it will be today! I'll ask the Immortal! If the Immortal lets you go, you can go."
After saying that, Mrs. Huang carried Fu Bao into the house, and there was a pleasant scent of sandalwood lingering inside.
Mrs. Huang put Fu Bao on the mat aside, kowtowed respectfully and said: "Great Immortal! I don't know what it will be like next year? Please show me a clear path! My Wulang and Dalang want to go up the mountain. Can you see it?"
Fu Bao was playing with the wood in his hand when he saw a weasel jumping down from the altar and said, "Little girl, you are quite courageous. You didn't even say hello to me when you came..."
Fu Bao's hands kept shaking, he looked up at her, and gave a smile that was uglier than crying.
Last time she came here, she said that she would not survive until she was six years old. She was really scared!
The weasel said:
"It might be harder next year, but you have to be mentally prepared. You can run out and play now.
But you have to be careful, there are some things that can see you. If I hadn’t helped you, you might have been killed..."
Fu Bao looked at the weasel, but he didn't feel scary anymore, and said silently in his heart: "Great Immortal, save me, I wish you to become an immortal, long live long live long live long live..."
The weasel suddenly smiled evilly and said: "Who did you learn from this dog-legged look? Call me godmother..."
Fu Bao was extremely anxious. It was important to save his life now!
Suddenly she saw the weasel bite her hand directly, and she said "ah" in pain...
The weasel patted her head and said, "This is my mark. If those things see it, they will give you three points. If you want to save your life, you have to do more good deeds."
Fu Bao quickly protected Weasel's thigh and said, "Godmother, how can I do good deeds and accumulate virtue?"
"Don't worry, you are still young, what is supposed to come will come. Store more food, something big is going to happen..." The weasel suddenly disappeared.
Fu Bao frowned and thought, something big happened, what big thing? Since we talk about storing more food, it is related to food.
She was a little anxious and wanted to remind grandma, but grandma seemed to have gotten the hint. She knelt on the ground and murmured: "Save more food, hey! We still have to let your dad and your fifth uncle go up the mountain!"
