Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

The two sick veterans were unable to come to the meal in person due to poor health. When Second Grandma learned about this, she was filled with concern and compassion. She quickly found a few stones to build a small stove, placed a clay pot on top, and cooked a pot of lean meat, green vegetables, and white rice porridge.

While everyone was eating, the porridge was slowly cooked over a low fire in the stove. When the veterans finished their meal and were ready to go back, the porridge was already cooked.

Second Grandma carefully wiped the black ash on the surface of the earthenware jar with wild grass from the roadside, then tied a straw handle on the mouth of the jar, and asked Wu Dazhui to accompany the old soldiers to deliver it to the veterans' residence.

Two veterans lying on the bunk bed smelled the aroma of meat, opened their eyes with difficulty, and looked at their old brother and an unfamiliar man in front of them with tears of emotion in their eyes.

One of the veterans who was lying on a bunk bed and had lost an eye said in a trembling voice: "Great! Don't waste food for us. Our bodies know our own bodies. Eat more of this precious food so that we can survive longer."

"Jiang Tao, you are not allowed to give up until the last moment, okay? We will have our own village in the future, called Xiangyun Village. These people are very nice and don't mind us for not being all-in. The village chief even invited us to dinner tonight. Let me tell you, that table is full of meat, and the village chief's family even made meat porridge for you and Baogen. I'm sure you two should get up and have some."

Wu Dazhu helped to fetch two bowls, found a spoon and put the porridge into the bowls. Then he helped Zhou Dafa to help the two sit up.

They took the bowl of porridge with trembling hands, stirred it gently with a spoon, blew on it, and then began to eat it in small bites.

This porridge is so delicious, they haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. They kept expressing their sincere gratitude.

"Little brother, please thank the village chief's wife for me! I haven't eaten such delicious food in many years." One of the veterans said with a choked voice.

"Uncle, don't worry. I'll tell our second lady about your thanks. There's still some food in this earthenware jar, which should be enough for you to eat tomorrow morning. I'll put the jar here first, and I'll come back to get it after you finish eating the porridge tomorrow morning. You two should eat more. Keeping your body healthy is the most important thing!" Wu Dazhu responded with a smile.

When Wu Dazhui came back and saw that everyone had finished eating and were cleaning up, he helped to clean up.

After everyone had eaten their fill, there was still a lot of bone soup, braised pork head and offal left in the pot. People like to eat meat with rice, so after the rice was eaten, there were still a lot of steamed buns left.

Everyone packed up their things tacitly. Since the ingredients were all provided by the Yun family, no one took the remaining meat and steamed buns.

So Li Xiuxiu asked Granny Liu and Granny Ding to give each family some meat to eat the next morning. Granny Liu and Granny Ding also sent a pot of bone soup with meat and 30 steamed buns to the old soldier.

Yun Duo did not let her parents live in the adobe house arranged by the village. Instead, she had someone set up a small tent and the family continued to sleep in the tent.

After leaving Yanqi Pass, Yun Duo was afraid that too many people would disturb his father and second brother's studies, so he took out another tent for his father and second brother to live in.

Originally, she wanted to get a separate tent for grandpa, but grandpa liked to be lively and he didn't want their family to be treated specially, so he just lived with second grandfather and his family, so that she could give Yunxiang medical advice at any time.

Yunxiang is a good candidate for medical studies. He is diligent, studious and ambitious. He did not even tremble when he cut open a rabbit for the first time. Yunhai is very optimistic about this grandson, and now he is one of his only two disciples since he came to ancient times.

As for my aunt's family, my uncle's leg has healed, so it is up to them to decide whether to live in a tent or in the adobe house arranged by the village.

Anyway, there are materials for building a tent and enough tarpaulin at home. If you want to live in a tent, you can ask the Earth Shadow Guard to help you build it.

She had helped them enough and couldn't let them get into the habit of relying on her for everything.

My second grandfather's family chose a room with two large bunk beds. Except for the lack of doors and windows, the rest of the room was in good condition. My second grandmother found some cloth to block the doors and windows, and put a curtain in the middle of the bunk bed. In this way, the men and women were separated and the room was quite spacious. My aunt's family also lived with my second grandfather and his family, so that they could take care of each other.

The village arranged a room for Grandma Ding and her two daughters, Fangcao, and them. The room had two large bunk beds and was big enough for them all to stay in.

Yunteng and Jinsheng and their friends set up two simple tents next to the Yunduo tent so that they could take turns to rest.

The shadow guards and the dark guards disappeared after entering the village, and they must have hidden themselves. Yun Duo found two mothers-in-law to take charge of their meals, and even arranged a room as their special kitchen, so that they could take turns to come out to eat.

Li Xiuxiu was spreading out the bedding in the tent, preparing to call Yun Xiaosi, who had gone out to play, back to sleep, when she heard Zhou's voice, "Xiuxiu, have you packed up?"

"Second Aunt is here? Everything is ready. Please come in and sit down. Granny Ding and the others have already helped to clean up the rest."

Zhou slowly walked closer and stopped, her eyes fell on the entrance of the tent. She saw that there were clean beddings inside, but she did not step in.

Zhou stood at the door of the tent and called softly, "Xiu Xiu... come here for a moment, Second Aunt has something to tell you." Although the voice was soft, it was still clearly transmitted to Xiu Xiu's ears in this quiet atmosphere.

Li Xiuxiu put on her shoes and walked out of the tent. Seeing Zhou, she asked, "Aunt, is there anything wrong?"

Zhou hesitated for a moment and then slowly spoke: "Xiu Xiu, I have discussed with your second uncle, we have settled down, and all the food and drinks we have eaten along the way are provided by Duo'er, that girl. Now that it is settled, we can't take advantage of it like this anymore. There are many people working in your family now, so you don't need our help. Let's eat on our own starting tomorrow!"

Li Xiuxiu smiled: "Second Aunt, I saw you hesitating outside and thought you had something serious. Second Aunt, my husband and I have already discussed it. After we build the house and buy everything, we will eat separately. Although there are many people working in my family now, there are also many people eating. We still need the help of Second Aunt and my two younger brothers and sisters. Second Aunt, don't you want to help us?"

Zhou knew that Li Xiuxiu wanted to help them, and in fact her family had no shortage of people to work.

"You kid, you know that's not what Second Aunt meant," Zhou said angrily.

Li Xiuxiu hugged Zhou's arm and said affectionately: "Second Aunt, you have treated me like your own daughter for so many years. I know that if you hadn't used up the family savings to treat my illness, I'm afraid I would..."

Zhou said jokingly: "Then it is because my scholar nephew can't bear to part with you that I am willing to give you the money."

Li Xiuxiu blushed: "Second Aunt, how could that be! I was covered in wounds at that time, he felt sorry for me, Second Aunt, Second Uncle and Dad also felt sorry for me. Second Aunt, I heard everything you said to my mother-in-law back then. Although you were unconscious at that time, you were still conscious. If it weren't for my father's pressure in the first few years of marriage, and you had persuaded my mother-in-law behind her back, I'm afraid there would be several concubines in the family."

Zhou sighed: "Ah! If you ask me, your mother-in-law is confused. She doesn't think that although she has a son who is a scholar, we are just farmers in the countryside. She always wants to learn the ways of the rich families.

Back then, I wanted to find Qingsong a lady from a wealthy family, and asked a matchmaker to introduce a few girls who were either concubines of minor officials or had some minor health problems. She didn't even think about the fact that among us country girls, no legitimate daughter of a famous family would marry into the family.

My nephew is lucky that the woman he picked up is a real lady from a noble family."

When Li Xiuxiu reminded Zhou, she remembered the past when Xiuxiu was rescued by Yun Qingsong. It had been almost twenty years and she had forgotten it.
