Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Chapter 161: The Nanny in Troubled Times 27

Mrs. Ye Liu looked at her granddaughter who opened the door: "Ye Yuan, I'm your grandmother. Is your mother home?"

Ye Yuan stared wide-eyed for several seconds before confirming that the person in the middle of the group of people standing outside the door was indeed her grandmother. She immediately opened the door and let her in, along with a group of strangers following behind her.

She didn't know these people, but she knew that the people her grandmother brought back were no problem. She had only been back to the countryside once, and she was very happy to see her grandmother again. She led the way excitedly to tell Ye Zhiqiu the good news.

Ye Zhiqiu was also surprised that Ye Liushi suddenly appeared, but since there were outsiders present, she did not ask much. It was time for dinner, so she decided to eat first and talk about anything after she was full.

Ye Liushi looked at the meat stewing in the pot and quickly winked at her, asking her to put the meat away and just eat whatever she wanted. How could such good things that could only be eaten during the New Year and other festivals be given to outsiders for free?

Ye Zhiqiu didn't mean to be a sucker, but she just happened to run into them and everyone smelled the meat, so she couldn't eat alone. It's not that she was short of meat or money, but it would attract the attention of others if it was too big, so it was better to be stingy.

"You won't save it for tomorrow." Ye Liushi said as she hit him. It seemed that she was really angry. In the countryside, everyone can eat meat every year or festival, but this little girl is so greedy after just a few days of good life in the city.

Ye Zhiqiu had no way to explain the various risks and disadvantages of eating leftovers. Not to mention that Mrs. Ye Liu didn't understand, even in a few decades many young people wouldn't understand either. She could only find other reasons.

"I will get diarrhea if I eat leftovers." This excuse can be used in the future. I probably won't have to eat leftovers in this life.

Ye Liushi was stunned for a second before she realized that the landlord's master had never suffered from such a rich disease. But she quickly realized, "You can't eat it, and neither can the two children? They also have diarrhea, so I'll eat it."

How could Ye Zhiqiu let Ye Liushi eat leftovers? There was nothing he could do in his hometown where he couldn't control her, but in her family, eating leftovers was absolutely not allowed. If they couldn't finish them, they would rather throw them away.

The mother and daughter were arguing in the kitchen, and the others naturally didn't know. What they saw was that Ye Zhiqiu was generous, and he didn't mind when several people suddenly came to his house, and he even gave them food.

When everyone saw the meat in the bowl, they stood up in shock and were too embarrassed to eat it. It was embarrassing to come to the door empty-handed and eat white rice, and there was no reason to eat meat when asking for help. It was embarrassing to eat white rice.

Ye Zhiqiu winked at Ye Liushi, and she would deal with the people she brought. Although Ye Liushi kept scolding Ye Zhiqiu in the kitchen, she was very generous in front of outsiders: "Don't be polite, you can work better after you are full. It's just that the rice is too late to steam, but there are noodles. If it's not enough, you can eat noodles. As much as you want."

Several people were really polite at first, but they couldn't control their hands after picking up their chopsticks. They couldn't help but want to eat a second bite. If there was not enough rice, noodles mixed with broth were also a good thing. By the end, the shaved noodles were also delicious.

Ye Liushi's heart was bleeding, but she still smiled and advised everyone to eat more. If they were not full, there was more in the kitchen, so they could have another bowl. She did this not just for face. She came to Haicheng to buy food this time. If they were not full, they would not be able to take the food back.

After eating, they also need to arrange a place to sleep. There are not enough rooms in the house, so there is definitely not enough space for so many people to sleep. She also doesn't want several grown men to sleep in the room of two children. If it's a boy, it's fine, but the girl's room should not be allowed to be entered by outsiders.

She usually paid attention to the privacy of her children, so she asked Michelle Yeh to take them to a hotel outside and she would pay for it. That is to say, they can still stay there now, but in a few years, they will need a letter of introduction to stay in a hotel.

Ye Liushi grabbed the money and said, "Why stay in a hotel? Just find an empty space and sleep on the floor. It's not winter yet. We can just endure it for one night."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care. They were not her guests, and she probably wouldn't have any dealings with these people in the future. She would just let Ye Liushi make all the arrangements.

Ye Liushi would not let her go and needed her help in buying grain. She had no other acquaintances in this huge Haicheng and she would not be able to get around without her.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect that Ye Liushi brought people to buy grain. These people who bought grain were neither from Jinshui Village nor relatives of the Ye family, but relatives from Ye Liushi's natal family.

The village where Ye Liushi's mother's family lived had little land and many people. Every household had insufficient food. This year, the situation was particularly difficult. Last year's old grain had been eaten up, and this year's early rice harvest was poor. In desperation, they could only ask for help from their married daughters.

Ye Liushi didn't want to intervene at first, but her brother, sister-in-law and nephew begged her to take them to Haicheng to buy grain, so she would have to borrow grain. She did say that there was no grain at home, but the problem was that in the past two years, thanks to Ye Zhiqiu, the family had enough food three times a day, and they looked better than others. When she said that there was famine at home, no one believed her.

She was forced into a corner and said that there was no food at home and all the food was bought from Haicheng. She thought this would persuade her mother's family to give up. Unexpectedly, her brother and sister-in-law went back and discussed with the villagers and proposed that the whole village buy food together. However, they didn't have anyone they knew in Haicheng, so they asked the Ye family to arrange someone to lead the way.

The other members of the Ye family all looked at Ye Liushi. No one in the family knew Ye Zhiqiu's address in Haicheng. Every time, she contacted her family unilaterally. If someone wanted to go to Haicheng to find her, only Ye Liushi could do it.

Ye Liushi blamed herself for being too talkative, but she also agreed to take the strong young man from her natal village to Haicheng. She only had an address given by Ye Zhiqiu, and had never been to Haicheng, so she had to ask for directions to find the place.

After listening to the difficult journey that Ye Liushi had gone through, Ye Zhiqiu sighed with the system: "The mobile phone era is still good. Just follow the navigation."

The system said proudly: "Humph, navigation in the interstellar era is even more powerful, it's a pity you haven't seen it."

Ye Zhiqiu chuckled. So what if he had seen it before? He would still end up like her and could only muddle through in this age where there was nothing.

Since they were going to buy food, Ye Zhiqiu advised Ye Liushi to buy some back as well, so that she could make up for the lack of money. Old food was not tasty, but it was better than being hungry. In the future, buying food would not be like now, as long as you had money.

Mrs. Ye Liu rolled her eyes: "Of course I have to buy some. Since I'm here now, I can make a wasted trip. I brought all the money in the house, I can buy as much as I can." She didn't even think about asking Ye Zhiqiu for a subsidy. It was her daughter's business whether she had money, and she didn't ask how she made the money. As long as she didn't do anything bad, it was fine.

Ye Zhiqiu had never told the Ye family about her trip to Haicheng, and she didn't plan to tell them in the future. It was enough for them to know that she had found her two children and was living a good life. There was no point in saying anything else. If they accidentally told others, it would only bring trouble to the Zhang family.

It was precisely because Ye Liushi knew this that she never asked. She was also worried about Ye Zhiqiu's life in the city. Knowing that she had a class to go to, and it was a public factory, she felt relieved.
