At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

In the evening, when Zhao Xiuer and her two children returned from Nantoujin's grandmother's house, the food was just on the table. Zhou Qiaoping shook off her apron and called out, "Big brother's wife, come out quickly when the food is ready."

Then, Zhang Ercui's loud voice came from the kitchen: "Hey, mom, she's here."

Yisheng said: "Ah, it smells so good."

Yi Qiu's saliva was already flowing.

Zhou Qiaoping looked at the two well-behaved grandchildren and quickly called them, "Come to grandma, I'll give you something delicious." Then she picked up a piece of meat from the plate and stuffed one into the mouths of the two little kids. The two of them squinted their eyes and swallowed it reluctantly, their eyes glancing at the meat again.

Zhou Qiaoping: "Wash your hands, we'll have dinner soon."

Zhao Xiuer: "Mom, this is..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Qiaoping winked at her to keep quiet and whispered, "I gave you the money. It's okay. Eat."

The meat is still fresh, but the weather is not stable. Today the sun is shining brightly, and tomorrow the wind is cold. If you don't eat it, it won't last for a few days. You might as well take it out and give it to your family as a treat. What's the point of keeping it in storage?

Cen Shu was held by his father, and when he saw that his grandmother finally stopped being reluctant to eat, he happily shook his hands. The pork was frozen, so he really had to eat it quickly.

Then he thought that the little piglets that were growing up slowly in the space could be released sometime.

Turning his eyes, Cen Shu saw the two goats. Although they didn't look skinny, they were much worse than when they first came out.

The family has tried their best to cut grass to feed it, and Chongming goes out to cut grass before dawn every day, but the previous drought has dried up the weeds, so there is really nothing they can do. Fubao is too young to pull grass in the space every day. Occasionally, he will conjure up a basket of grass, and he will always sleep for half a day. But he will be weaned soon, and this sheep may be able to be taken back to the space.

Thinking about this, she gave up the idea of ​​raising piglets. Instead of doing that, it would be better to raise them in the space and eat their meat directly when they grow up.

When she came to her senses, Zhao Xiuer's steamed bun crumbs with a little bit of broth were already close to her mouth. Cen Shu's eyebrows curved, and she smiled and swallowed it in one gulp. Grandma was so generous today that she even made the steamed buns with a mixture of corn flour and white flour.

The boys ate the meat and steamed buns with great relish, mouthful after mouthful. Of the only plate of vegetables, only Zhao Xiuer and Zhou Qiaoping took a few bites.

"Grandma, can I eat it every day from now on..." Yi Qiu's little face was stuffed with rice, bulging like a porcelain doll, white and cute.

Zhou Qiaoping cleared her throat and said, "You must not tell anyone else about the food your uncle sent you, or you might not be able to eat a single meal."

Cen Shu's parents and Li Huaiqing knew what was going on, but they still responded, "I know, I know."

The children nodded hurriedly and said, "Uncle is so nice. We will never tell anyone."

That night, while her grandmother was changing her clothes, Cen Shu grabbed her dusty sleeves and started to exert force.

A large bag of rice fell to the ground with a thud, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Cen Shu sat steadily on the kang, watching Zhou Qiaoping's eyes slowly turn red. She quickly crawled over and touched the old woman's wrinkled face.

She knew that the situation in the village could not survive the winter. Once winter came, people would either starve to death or freeze to death. There was almost no harvest this year, and even drinking water was only available recently. It was only because everyone was poor, hungry, and had no food that they could maintain the surface peace. It seemed that everything was peaceful, but in fact, it was already riddled with holes.

Her mother had taken her to Grandma Jin's home. The blind embroiderer had been stranded in this remote and poor place. Even if she had been very capable in the past, her stomach was now filled with cotton from an old mattress.

Her mother had received her kindness in the past, and couldn't bear to see her starving, so she secretly gave her some sorghum flour.

Granny Jin always said, "You are a kind-hearted girl, and you will enjoy a happy life in the future."

Cen Shu knew that what she said was not a lie, because she would make her mother happy and have no worries about food and clothing.

No one has starved to death in the village yet, but many elderly people have seldom gone out, perhaps sensing that their days are numbered.

The next morning, Cen Shu had just opened her eyes dazedly when her mother picked her up, dressed her neatly and went out. She recognized that this was the way to Grandma Jin's house.

Cen Shu looked at the tattered door curtain and quietly put three eggs into the chicken coop next to him. Too many eggs would arouse suspicion.

Soon an old woman with a cane slowly came out: "Xiu'er, come in quickly."

Cen Shu looked at the cornmeal and the leftover meat slices from yesterday, and understood. Granny Jin was half a mother to her mother. In this situation, who else would care about her life or death except her mother?

Granny Jin was obviously blind, but she seemed to be able to see her and said with a smile: "Fubao is peeking at me again? Little guy, Granny will give you a treasure."

As she spoke, she fumbled out a black box from under the table. When she opened it, the emerald green jade bracelet was dazzling.

Zhao Xiuer refused again and again: "What are you doing? How can you give her such a valuable thing? Put it away quickly, we can't use it."

Cen Shu didn't have such an obsession with gold, silver and treasures before, but now, a few taels of silver can make a medicinal field in her space. I dare to think that if this bracelet is put in, there will probably be an extra mountain!

Granny Jin stuffed the bracelet into the small backpack that my mother carried on her back. Then she waved her hand and said, "It's useless to me, and it's not for you. It's been blessed, so Fu Bao should wear it to ward off disasters."

Zhao Xiuer couldn't resist and let her go.

Cen Shu took advantage of his mother's inattention and put the bracelet into the space. But strangely, there was no change at all, and the bracelet stayed quietly in the same place.

Cen Shu: Does it require money?

Thinking of this, she put the bracelet back in its place.

At noon, Zhao Xiuer quickly cooked a meal and watched Grandma Jin finish her meal before leaving with her pretty little daughter.

Cen Shu babbled and wanted to ask why she was brought here today.

Zhao Xiuer seemed to be able to hear her words, and she said to herself: "Why did Taoist Qingyang insist that I bring you to see grandma today?"

Cen Shu's eyes widened. This name... looked familiar. Taoist Qingyang. Wasn't this the Taoist my grandmother met in her previous life when she was seeking a talisman at Jiupu Temple?

Before he could think about it, something happened at Liu Er's house next door. Cen Shu was held in his arms, watching Liu Er's wife crying and cursing: "Who the hell stole my Rong Er! You will die a miserable death!"

Cen Shu's eyebrows jumped. Liu Er's little daughter was about the same age as her. They were born one after the other. I didn't expect that someone would steal a child! If Rong'er wasn't there, or if she didn't go to see her mother-in-law with her mother, would she be the one stolen?
