Escape after crossing

Although the twins are still young, they both know what to say and what not to say.

"Hongan, Hongyun, it's not that big brother is unreasonable. If these things were known to others, our family would have to go hungry again. So you can't tell us anything about tonight. You can't tell us even if you are beaten to death. Remember?"

"Well, remember, brother."

"Okay, let's go to sleep!"

Jiang Ziluo didn't know that his elder brother had already warned his younger brothers. Jiang Runzhi and Zhao Qingshu were both lying in bed when they remembered this.

They both said that they would talk to their children the next day and not tell anyone else.

Jiang Ziluo didn't know all this. Early the next morning, Jiang Ziyan and Jiang Ziluo got up first. Jiang Ziluo remembered the two kilograms of oil he bought yesterday and asked Jiang Ziyan to melt the oil in the kitchen.

Jiang Ziluo was stunned when he saw the pigs going into the water. There was already a shortage of water, and now it was even worse. How could he wash them? This thing wasted so much water!

"Zi Luo, what's wrong?" Jiang Ziyan asked while cutting lard.

"Sister, this thing needs to be cleaned, and it consumes a lot of water. What should I do? I forgot about this yesterday, so I brought it back."

"It stinks so much, are you sure you can wash it clean? Can you eat it?" Jiang Ziyan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"I have a way to wash it so that it has no smell and tastes delicious!"

"I'll ask my brother to take you to a place later. There's still some water there, but if you wash, it probably won't be useful anymore."

"Where is it? Is there a lot of water?" Jiang Ziluo was happy when she heard that. She had already made the worst plan. If it really didn't work, she would just throw it away.

"The water isn't much, but it's clean. It's not far from the mountain behind our house. I saw it when I went up the mountain the day before yesterday." Jiang Ziyan saw that Jiang Ziluo was happy when he heard that there was water. She was also happy to see it.

As he said that, Jiang Ziluo went to the noodle jar in the kitchen and scooped out some noodles.

Jiang Ziyan didn't know why she was making noodles, so she asked, "Lolo, why are you making noodles?"

"It will be needed later! I'll go and wake up my brother and take me to the back mountain later." Then he ran out of the kitchen.

Jiang Ziyan smiled but didn't say anything. Jiang Ziluo came out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Runzhi also got up and came out.

"Dad, you're up."

"Well, why are you in such a hurry? What's going on?"

"Dad, I'll go wake up my brother." Jiang Ziluo had forgotten that seven-year-olds were no longer allowed to sit at the same table. He was ready to push open the door to Jiang Hongyu's room.

Jiang Runzhi saw the second daughter's action and hurriedly stopped her, "Ziluo, let me call her, go see what your eldest sister is doing?"

"Dad, I'm here to call my eldest brother. You quickly take some food and send the ox cart to the village chief. It's still early and no one can see it."

"Yes, that's right. Then go and load some food. I'll tell your brother to get up. Go quickly."

Jiang Runzhi thought of sending the ox cart while no one was watching, otherwise he would have to explain again.

"Okay, then how much food should we take? Also, the village chief asked you what we did with the ox cart, what do you say? And what about the food, what do you say?"

Jiang Ziluo asked all possible questions to see how his father would respond.

Jiang Runzhi looked at his second daughter. He knew that he couldn't tell the truth, but he didn't know how to say it.

Jiang Ziluo knew it at a glance, "Dad, if the village chief asks, just say that yesterday in the county, someone wanted to use a bullock cart to transport things, and said they would give food.

I saw that it was nothing heavy, just some cloth or something like that. So I thought about going there and exchanging it for some food for my family.”

"Why cloth?" Jiang Runzhi asked.

"Dad, think about it, how precious is this cow to the village chief? He lent it to me yesterday without asking. I can't say it's a heavy gift. Otherwise, I'll feel sorry for the old cow."

Jiang Runzhi understood Jiang Ziluo's explanation and was happy that his daughter was sensible.

The father and daughter were standing outside the door talking, so there was no need to call the people inside, as they had already been woken up by the two of them.

"Brother, go wash up quickly. I have something to talk to you about later!" Jiang Ziluo said happily when he saw Jiang Hongyu coming out.

"Okay, I'll go right away. You wait a moment." Jiang Hongyu thought that he was asked to go to the village chief's house with his father later.

Jiang Ziluo went into the house to pack some food. It was not that she was reluctant to pack flour and rice, but these were too eye-catching.

After Jiang Ziluo had packed the food, the father and son had also washed up. Jiang Hongyu took the food from Jiang Ziluo and prepared to go to the village chief's house with Jiang Runzhi.

Jiang Ziluo saw something was wrong and called Jiang Hongyu. "Brother, don't go. You have other things to do later."

After hearing this, Jiang Hongyu placed the food on the ox cart and prepared to be dispatched.

"Brother, come here." Jiang Ziluo called Jiang Hongyu to the kitchen and pointed at the pig offal in the wooden basin.
