Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo
Chapter 20: Grandma, are you afraid that I will eat you out of money?
Xu Ning now has food but is not worried. He has stored at least hundreds of kilograms of yam in the space. He no longer has to worry about the problem of only taking in but not giving out!
Xu Ning happily rummaged through the treasure chest and took out candies without hesitation.
Xu Dabao was still helping to dig yam with the sound of "Hey ball, hey ball" when he was suddenly fed a piece of rock sugar by Xu Ning who came over.
The same unbelievable face appeared in front of Xu Ning again.
"Brother, is it delicious?" Xu Ning narrowed his eyes, smiled and asked him in a low voice.
Xu Dabao nodded, and Xu Ning smiled even more. "Keep it a secret, we have it at home!"
Xu Dabao nodded again. Xu Ning couldn't help but continue to laugh as he watched. The second baby of the Xu family was really too adorable.
Time slowly passed noon, and Xu Ning fed Erbao food from time to time, but he was not hungry.
Old Mrs. Xu, Xu Da and others were so excited that they forgot they were hungry. It was not until Mrs. Feng came with the child in her arms and Old Man Xu carrying a bamboo tube of water that they remembered they had not had lunch.
The adults were all fine. After all, they were lucky enough to have a full meal while fleeing from famine. How could they dare to think about three meals?
The kids had already eaten their fill, and Old Lady Xu confirmed this by touching Xu Xiaobao's bulging belly.
When the adults were digging yams, they would occasionally look back. They knew that it was Xu Ning feeding the two brothers with food, so they thought it was dried meat and wild fruits and didn't take it seriously.
"Or, let's finish digging." Xu Da suddenly suggested. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Old Lady Xu inquiringly.
When Old Man Xu came over, Old Mrs. Xu put down her work and went over to help Old Man Xu carry water.
"The boss is right, mother, you take a rest first, we will do the digging." There were so many yams, not to mention others, Zhang would feel uncomfortable if she didn't dig them out.
Zhang was born into a poor family. She had to do all kinds of work and suffered all kinds of hardships since she was a child. Later, she was sold to a human trafficker by her parents in exchange for two bags of grain.
So, she knew too well the importance of food.
Not to mention not eating at noon today, even if she doesn’t eat at noon tomorrow, I can let her not eat for two days, as long as she digs out all these yams!
She would feel uneasy if she didn't dig it out.
I always feel like these yams will disappear if I don’t dig them!
She was used to being hungry anyway.
In the past, in order to ensure that her younger brothers and sisters had enough to eat, Zhang often only ate one meal a day, and only until she was half full.
After becoming a maid, Zhang often did not have enough to eat. It was not until she married into the Xu family that she was able to have a full meal.
Zhang cherishes her current home very much and she really wants to do more for it.
In the past, whether Zhang was a maid or married to Xu Da, she almost always listened to others, never expressed her own opinions, and just did things silently.
This was the first time she expressed her opinion since she came to the Xu family.
Old Mrs. Xu was not a bad mother-in-law and had never bullied her daughter-in-law. When she heard what her eldest daughter-in-law said, she just looked at her in surprise and then nodded, "You have to dig. Drink some water first. People are not cows. They have to rest. Besides, cows have to drink water and eat grass!"
"Auntie, you're right!" Li the hunter straightened up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. His clothes were already soaked.
It was also very hot in the woods, but looking at the hundreds of kilograms of yam piled on the ground, Hunter Li felt that it was worth it no matter how hot it was!
Xu Ning squatted down and looked at the yam, thinking that there is strength in numbers. Even if she had the right tools, she couldn't dig as much in a morning as several adults could in an hour!
Moreover, she dug it in strange shapes. It was not until later when Old Lady Xu came that she finally dug out a decent yam.
While drinking water, Old Mrs. Xu saw Xu Ning squatting in front of the dug yams with a box in his arms. She was worried that Xu Ning would put the yams into the box, so she quickly drank a few gulps of water and walked over to Xu Ning to remind her.
"Daya, this is enough to last for a long time." Old Lady Xu's voice sounded above Xu Ning's head. Xu Ning looked up at Old Lady Xu, then grinned and whispered to her, "Grandma, I know, I won't do anything bad."
The yam in the space is a bit ugly, but the yam egg is complete. Besides, no matter how ugly it is, as long as it is edible!
She wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal her true identity in front of Li the Hunter!
"Daya, this yam is great, you really found a treasure!" Old Man Xu also walked to the pile of yams, picked up a yam stick and looked at it left and right without letting it go.
Xu Ning immediately thought of the benefits of yam mentioned in the encyclopedia, and the smile on his face slowly turned awkward, "Master, then you should eat more tonight!"
"Daya, eat more too. Let your milk stew in the broth. It will taste delicious!"
"Master, have you ever eaten yam stewed with tiger meat?"
"How can that be possible! I eat chicken stewed with yam! You little girl, how can I have the ability to eat tiger meat!"
"Master? Have you forgotten? Didn't you eat it this morning?" Xu Ning tried to hold back his laughter.
Old Man Xu was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, his tall and thin body swaying with laughter, and Xu Ning quickly supported him.
"Daya, I am so lucky to have eaten tiger meat. Now I will be proud of my ancestors!"
"Master, you can be even more blessed! You will definitely be able to live the life of an old master in the future, with eight dishes and one soup every day, and servants serving you!"
"Hey, Daya, am I dreaming?"
"How could it be possible, sir? How could I have such a realistic dream? Just wait and see, the footsteps of good days are already striding towards you!"
"Hahaha, Daya, I am so lucky to have a granddaughter like you!"
"That's right!" Xu Ning was never modest when it came to compliments about himself. He felt even more confident when he thought about the food he had exchanged for his points, as well as the hundreds of kilograms of yam.
"Alright, alright, stop joking. Hurry up and help your grandfather sit under the tree. It's too hot in this scorching sun!"
"I got it, grandma! Hehe, you will be a very blessed old lady in the future!" Old Mrs. Xu glared at Xu Ning, but she was very pleased in her heart. Isn't she blessed?
During this year of famine, the family was together, they found food, and the children were sensible. Although her eldest granddaughter caused her constant worries, she felt at ease.
Xu Da and Zhang smiled at each other. Li the Hunter and Feng were also equally happy.
But while I am happy, I am also worried about how long this kind of life can last.
Everyone who was resting under the tree couldn't help but cast their eyes on Xu's second child. While the adults were resting, the two brothers had already picked up several baskets of yam.
"Dayong, Xiaoli, you two carry the yams to the cave. Mei Niang, come here and continue digging with me!"
"Hey! Mother!" Zhang's shout was so loud that it almost scared Old Lady Xu. "Why are you shouting so loudly?!"
"Mom, I'm happy!" Zhang was happy that Old Lady Xu called her by her nickname instead of her eldest daughter's name!
Zhang felt full of energy, especially since the grains she dug were all from her own family. She was even happier and the excitement lasted until bedtime.
Xu Ning was also excited. In the evening, everyone returned to the cave that Li the hunter had found in the morning and had a delicious meal of tiger stewed with yam.
Everyone had smiles on their faces. Xu Ning was in a very good mood and ate bowl after bowl until Old Lady Xu gave her a strange look.
Xu Ning gulped down the milky white and fragrant soup in the bowl, and while gnawing on the bone he asked Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, are you afraid that I will eat you out of money?"
"I think you have worms." Old Mrs. Xu said seriously.
"Worms? Ascaris?" Xu Ning froze. She suddenly remembered the experience of having worms when she was a child, and she suddenly felt unwell.
It is possible to have worms! This is ancient times!
Xu Ning looked down at the remaining yam and tiger meat in the bowl and swallowed. She still wanted to eat more and felt not full!
She couldn't help but think about how many bowls she had eaten, but she couldn't remember, "Sister, you ate a hand, half a hand and an extra hand, that's a lot!"
Xu Xiaobao considerately stretched out eight fingers to show her. Xu Ning's mouth twitched and she touched her stomach, which was still flat.
The bamboo bowl is not small, she really has no idea where the food went.
"Grandma, what should we do if there are worms?" Xu Ning asked Grandma Xu tentatively, wondering if there was a better way to kill the worms. She didn't really want to see some shocking scene.
"What can we do? Kill the bugs!"
