Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Widow Wei is used to living a frugal life. She tries to be economical in everything she does, so it's inevitable that she'll complain a lot!

"It's okay, we're all doing heavy work, just do as I say!

The chickens in my house have been laying quite a lot of eggs these days, and we don’t have to eat them every day, so it’s enough for us to eat!”

The Ma family also stopped Widow Wei who was about to speak and said, "Just listen to Miss Xia. Let's get started! Don't delay everyone's lunch."

Widow Wei saw that Mr. Ma winked at her and realized that she talked too much, so she shut up and said no more.

"Oh, by the way, I may have to go out again in a while to buy some food for future use, and I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law and sister Liuzhi to help boil some water.

Here are some mint leaves, you can soak them in water and give them to everyone to drink to relieve fatigue! "

Mint leaves are usually collected in July and August.

So Xia Shengsheng bought these mint leaves in the supermarket in the shopping mall.

Mint leaves are not expensive, a large bag costs only a dozen yuan, enough for drinking for a long time.

"There are so many mint leaves here. My family picked some last year, but we drank them all a long time ago. I didn't expect you to save so many." said Ma Da.

"If you want to drink, sister-in-law, you can bring some back. I have more here!"

Xia Shengsheng was also willing to give some cheap things as favors.

"I'm here to work, why should I take your things for free? Then what kind of person is your sister-in-law?

Aren't you busy? Go now, don't worry, I and Liuzhi will take care of the rest of the work, nothing will go wrong, if there is anything else, just let me know."

Mr. Ma is also a very presentable person, and he has a very high emotional intelligence when he speaks.

“It’s just a few mint leaves, not worth much. If sister-in-law and sister Liuzhi want to drink it, they can take it. It’s not a big deal!

I'll leave the rest of the work to you two. I'm confident that Sister-in-law and Sister Liuzhi can do the work."

Xia Shengsheng handed over the kitchen matters to others, and then went to the Ma and Li families to borrow some bowls and chopsticks, as they did not need tables, chairs, and benches for the time being.

People in rural areas are not so particular. They can just sit or squat anywhere with their bowls and chopsticks and eat.

When you go to town to buy things, you can buy some bowls and chopsticks and return the bowls and chopsticks from the other two families.

Yiyi and Ercheng both found things to do and became great little helpers.

But the three little ones who have been chasing after Xia Shengsheng are quite worrying.

The boy followed Xia Shengsheng closely step by step without saying anything.

Shanshan and Sicheng rushed ahead of the boy, as if to assert their sovereignty.

"I'm going to the capital to order some furniture, and when I come back I have to bring some food back from the town, what about you?

Do you want to follow?"

The boy nodded expressionlessly at first. He didn't know why, he just wanted to stay with Xia Shengsheng and didn't care what he did.

When Shanshan and Sicheng saw that the boy was going, they hurriedly answered.

"Go!"

"You must follow!"

Xia Shengsheng had no choice but to tell his family to hand over the work to Dayi and Ma Laoer first, and ask them to wait for craftsman Chen to come back before helping unload the goods.

The two children also gave a few instructions before driving the donkey cart and setting off with the three children.

Along the way, Shanshan and Sicheng cheered and chatted happily with each other while sitting on the donkey cart.

Only the boy sat there quietly, not looking at the scenery around him, staring at Xia Shengsheng, as if he was afraid that Xia Shengsheng would run away.

"Hey, kid? Do you remember your name? I can't always call you "Hey, kid!"

Every time Xia Shengsheng wanted to say a few words to the boy, she didn't know how to start. It was quite troublesome when she didn't even know his name.

Shanshan and Sicheng also stopped their conversation and waited for the boy's answer.

The boy Zuo Si thought for a long time, looking confused.

"Mother, don't you know my name? But I don't know it either!"

Xia Shengsheng felt a little headache. How come she suddenly had another son?

"Mom, why does he always call you mom? You are our mom, not his mom!"

"Don't yell, mom belongs to the four of us!"

The two children spoke to the boy with hostility.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the boy's aggrieved eyes and suddenly softened her heart.

He called Shanshan and Sicheng to his side and spoke in a low voice.

“Mom will always be your mom, but look at him, the moment before I met him, he seemed to have lost his loved ones.

Now I have lost my memory, how pitiful it is to be all alone!

Can you lend me to him until he recovers his memory?

Although I lent my mother to him, I still love you the same way and nothing will change.

As far as our abilities allow, we should be tolerant and tolerant of those who are weaker than us, don’t you agree?”

The boy also heard what Xia Shengsheng said. He did have memory disorder and could not remember what happened before.

But he was not stupid. He knew from everyone's discussion that he was not the child of this family.

But he didn't know who he was or where he was.

It felt like from the moment he opened his eyes, he was only familiar with Xia Shengsheng. That familiar feeling made him feel that Xia Shengsheng was his mother.

That's why he has always been following Xia Shengsheng.

He was also afraid that Xia Shengsheng would abandon him.

Shanshan and Sicheng suddenly felt that what Xia Shengsheng said made sense, and from the very beginning, they did feel that the boy was pitiful and sympathized with him.

But later, they selfishly felt that they didn't want to share their mother with others.

That's why they are more hostile towards boys.

Now their mother said that even if she would become someone else's mother, her love for them would never change.

They suddenly felt that it wouldn't be that difficult to share a part of their mother with this poor boy.

"Okay! Then I'll lend my mother to you temporarily!"

"I agree!"

The two people resolved their misunderstandings and no longer had any hostility towards the boy.

Instead, he helped Xia Shengsheng to come up with ideas and help to name the boy.

"Hitting him is Wang Cheng. All boys in our family have the character Cheng in their names. Doesn't he forget everything? So he can be called Wang Cheng?"

Sicheng suddenly felt that he was so cultured! The names he came up with were so nice.

It seems that all the boys in the village are calling "Goudan" and "Gousheng".

The name he gave is much more profound.

"It sounds so ugly! It feels like the name Wangcai of Maodan's family also has the word "Wang" in it!" Shanshan retorted.

"It's not the same character. I'm talking about the word 'wang' which means 'forget'. It's not the same character 'wang' as 'wangcai'."

"Then how do you write these two characters wang?"

Shanshan's words really stumped Sicheng.

In fact, everyone had only learned to write about twenty characters in these days, and Sicheng ate them all with his meals. He couldn't write a single character except his own name.

Asking him to write would be harder than climbing to the sky.

"Then Shanshan, pick one!"

Xia Shengsheng is not good at naming, so she can only put her hopes on her two children.

If I had known this, we would have discussed it at home.

The more people there are, the better our collective wisdom can be.

Shanshan thought for a long time before she said, "Call me Wucheng."

The second brother is Ercheng, the fourth brother is Sicheng, if we rank them again, it should be Wucheng. "

Sicheng thought his sister would choose a different name, but it turned out to be not much better.

"I see he's older than me. If I call him Wucheng, wouldn't he be my younger brother? And you're laughing at me as if the name you gave me is great..."
