Ye Shiyan pretended to be embarrassed and turned around to continue emptying the basket. After a while, he whispered, "I bought it with the money my mother gave me."

For a moment, Yu Xiuying didn't know whether to blame Ye Shian or thank her for her thoughtful consideration.

Seeing the dry firewood that Ye Shian took out of the backpack, Yu Xiuying was shocked again. It was raining so hard, where could there be dry firewood?

This dry firewood was not the most difficult thing for Ye Shian. The most difficult thing was the fire starter. She fiddled with it in the space for a long time before she replicated a similar fire starter.

Hearing Ziyuan's crying, Ye Shian quickened his movements, and soon a small smoking fire was lit.

Looking at the smoking fire, Yu Xiuying finally came to her senses: "You, you were out for so long just to make these?"

"Well, I thought it would be hard to get through the night without fire, so I traded eggs for a fire starter."

Yu Xiuying lowered her head in shame: "It's my mother's incompetence that makes you worry about it."

"Just don't blame me for acting on my own."

"How could I blame you? I just feel sorry for you. It's me who got you into trouble."

Ye Shian chuckled: "Mom, what are you talking about? You are my mother, how could you implicate me?"

Ye Shian took out five eggs from the basket and said, "Let's roast all these eggs now."

This was not the end yet, Ye Shian took out another cloth bag from the backpack.

Yu Xiuying was puzzled: "What is this?"

"Mother..." Ye Shian looked pitiful. "I thought that after this flood, the house was almost destroyed. I thought that our next days would be very difficult, so I took the initiative to exchange 30 cents for 3 catties of mixed grain fried noodles."

"Thirty cents!" Yu Xiuying couldn't help but raise her voice. Realizing that she was too excited, she quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. Others bully you because you are young and don't know the market price. It's not your fault."

Seeing Yu Xiuying feeling sorry for the money but trying to comfort herself, Ye Shian held back his laughter and said, "Mom, this is what I thought. The price that lady asked was indeed high, but the country is at war right now and we are experiencing floods. If we don't buy it now, I'm afraid it will be even more expensive later. So I gritted my teeth and bought three kilograms."

Yu Xiuying heard this and said, "My Shi'an has thought of everything. Since we've bought it, let's just buy it. But we don't even have a pot, how can we cook..."

Ye Shian chuckled, reached into his backpack and took out an iron pot. The pot was not big, just enough for two people to eat.

"I fished this out of the water." Ye Shian felt that he had mastered lying to perfection.

Looking at the brand new iron pot, Yu Xiuying couldn't help but sigh: "This iron pot looks really good."

Ye Shian smiled and said, "Yes, this iron pot is really good."

This pot costs about one thousand yuan. Although she was considered a rich second-generation before she died, she had lived a poor life and did not have the habit of spending lavishly. For her, she knew how to spend when she should and save when she should.

Yu Xiuying immediately reacted: "You, you went down the mountain again? You are so brave, the dam upstream may burst at any time, you...you are not allowed to do this again in the future."

Yu Xiuying loves her daughter and understands her.

"I know, mom. I won't dare to do it again."

Ye Shian responded with his hands moving quickly.

She put the pot on the fire and poured some water into it from the gourd.

"The person who exchanged the fried noodles with me said that the fried noodles can be eaten directly with boiling water."

"Can this still happen?"

Ye Shian nodded: "Well, the water will boil soon, let's try it and see how it tastes."

This fried noodles is actually yam rice paste, which contains corn, oatmeal, yam, pumpkin, etc. She can't remember what else is in it, but she thinks it tastes good.

Put rice paste in a bowl and pour in boiling water, the fragrance will immediately spread.

Yu Xiuying had eaten an egg in the morning, but she was already extremely hungry. She stretched her neck to look into the bowl.

"Why does this look so much like rice porridge?"

"It's just rice porridge, but it's fried in advance, so you don't need to boil it over the fire. This is convenient and saves trouble."

Ye Shian handed one of the bowls to Yu Xiuying, who took a sip from the edge of the bowl. It was hot, but very fragrant and sweet.

"It tastes good."

The hot food entered her mouth and she felt comfortable all of a sudden. Yu Xiuying's facial features all relaxed.

"It tastes really good, better than rice porridge."

In fact, she hasn't had rice porridge for a long time.

The bowl was quickly finished. Seeing this, Ye Shian wanted to make another bowl for her, but Yu Xiuying refused no matter what.

"It's just a small amount of fried noodles, how can you eat it like this? Save it. Oh, and next time, don't make it so thick. It will be the same if you add more water and make it thinner."

What could Ye Shian say? He could only respond with "hmm" and "ah".

Ziyuan finished the last sip of milk in the bottle, spit out the nipple contentedly, burped, and fell into a deep sleep with her little head tilted.

Yu Xiuying looked at Ziyuan in her arms and couldn't help but start to worry again.

"How are we three going to live in the future?"

Ye Shian was thinking about how to find a suitable opportunity to tell Yu Xiuying about the space. She was really annoyed by him always making up lies and excuses like this.

Just then there was a noise outside. Ye Shian stretched her head out of curiosity to listen. After listening for a while she got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

There was only one cave on the mountain. People from the three villages wanted to go in, but no one wanted to give way to anyone else, so they ended up fighting.

People were injured in the melee. The headmen of the other two villages were there, except for that of Huaishu Village. Without the headman, there was no backbone, and without a backbone, the village would be bullied by others.

The result was that the people of Huaishu Village rolled out of the cave, and the people of the other two villages shared the cave.

Ye Shian couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. The cave was so small that there were at least a hundred people in a village, so it was simply not enough to accommodate them all.

Instead of fighting for the cave, it would be better to organize the villagers to build a hiding place.

But there was one thing that made her happy, and that was that Old Lady Ye and her family had nowhere to hide from the rain.

If you ask her how she knew that, it's because Old Lady Ye and her beloved second son and his family were heading this way not far away.

If there is anywhere else on this mountain to hide from the rain besides the cave, this valley is undoubtedly the first choice. Ye Shian also knew that they would not be able to go to the cave, so he suggested that Yu Xiuying come here.

At this moment, most of the good places here have been taken. Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, Old Lady Ye and her family are getting anxious.

Ye Shian peeled out the cooked eggs and put the things he had just taken out to show off to Yu Xiuying into the backpack, but actually threw them into the space.

Then pull the branches prepared in advance to block the exit. In this way, unless someone outside pulls away the branches, it will be difficult to know who is inside.

Yu Xiuying saw what Ye Shian did and couldn't help but laugh: "Why did you block the exit, kid?"
