Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

For Yu Xiu and the three children, having a meal of meat is more important than knowing how the wild boar moves.

Lan Qiyan thought so too. Eating meat was more important than anything else.

After hearing Yu Xiu's vivid description of their experience of scaring the enemy, Old Lady Yu, Yu Ze and the others were all frightened.

"Yanyan, you are not allowed to go to the mountains anymore, do you understand?

What if something happens to one of you, how can I live?

If we can afford it, we will eat it. If we can’t afford it, we won’t eat it, and we can’t take risks.”

"Then with our abilities, we can only eat coarse food all our lives." Yu Xiu whispered.

Old Lady Yu's face darkened and she slapped him directly, "You little bastard, were you the one who instigated your mother to catch pheasants?

I think you will get into trouble with your mouth sooner or later because you love eating too much."

Yu Xiu also felt very aggrieved, "Grandma, food is the first necessity of the people, what does this mean? It means that the sky is big and the earth is big, but eating is the most important thing.

If you don't eat and I don't eat, what will happen if we all starve to death?"

Old Lady Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look how good you are at talking. When someone says one sentence, you have ten or eight sentences waiting for them.

Yanyan, raising a child is like pruning a young tree, and this second child has too many messy branches.

If you have nothing to do, just fix it. As long as you can't kill him, then beat him to death.

A good son is born under the stick, so we should not do something as dangerous as today."

Lan Qiyan smiled and said, "I understand, mother. When are we going to stew the chicken?" The old lady had risen up and Yu Xiu could no longer wear the hat of a vicious person.

"Yanyan wants to eat, mom will cook it now, you take a rest, I will let the children call you when I'm ready."

Lan Qiyan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will really take a break for a while." Her lungs were about to explode from running just now, and she was afraid that she would die suddenly if she didn't take a rest.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Do you want a child to talk to you and cheer you up?"

"No, let the children play by themselves."

Lan Qiyan put down the backpack, washed his hands and face, and went into the room.

She promised to take Yu Ze to the town to find a teacher tomorrow, and to sell the Southern Star for money.

But how can I get this done under Yu Ze’s nose tomorrow?

She doesn't have any fixed pharmacy to exchange herbs for silver.

Lan Qiyan was so worried that a lot of his hair had fallen out. What should he do?

Otherwise, she would take him to see the teacher first, and then use the excuse that he would go to class with the teacher while she went to the pharmacy.

This is a good reason. Lan Qiyan is very satisfied. Is she quite smart?

Before she knew it, she smelled the aroma of chicken while she was half asleep. Fortunately, her home was far away from the village center, otherwise everyone would be jealous of them to death.

At the dinner table, Yu Xiu ate a bite of chicken and a bite of corn tortilla, which was truly a delicacy.

Lan Qiyan suddenly felt that if sweet potato starch that had absorbed the soup was added to the stewed chicken, it would be another delicious dish.

It's a pity that the sweet potatoes in this dynasty were called "fanshu". The land was barren, the sweet potatoes were small and low in starch, and people didn't know the technology to make vermicelli, so people only used them to cook porridge, roast them, or steam them.

Once her two acres of land is improved, she will definitely make sweet potato flour.

But now you can also use sweet potatoes to make a delicious dish - candied sweet potato.

He did what he said. That evening, Lan Qiyan finally made two plates of candied sweet potatoes using twenty or thirty sweet potatoes and half a bag of sugar.

Old Lady Yu was crying while eating. Firstly, she was crying because it was such a waste of sugar, and secondly, she was crying because the food was so delicious.

Lan Qiyan originally planned to set up a stall with peeled sweet potatoes, but Yuze helped her calculate the cost and decided to just focus on farming!

However, the candied sweet potato is delicious but expensive, so the children only ate one plate and saved the other.

At night, Lan Qiyan fell into a deep sleep, unaware that one of her good sons next door had been stolen.

In the Jade Village at midnight, the moonlight was mottled and an agile figure rushed out.

But just after leaving the village, I found a masked man standing in the middle of the road.

"who?"

"The person who killed you."

"Haha, kill me? Do you know who I am?"

"It's just a dog. Do I need to know too much about it?"

"How dare you?"

“It’s better for you to just go into the farmers’ houses and steal the children, and you won’t feel ashamed.

If I were you, I would just bury myself in the toilet and sulk."

"I'm warning you, I'm Princess Chang'an's man, you'd better think before you act."

"Haha, what a thing is the daughter of a man who was given a title by betraying his own brothers."

"Bold..." Before he could finish his words, the head fell to the ground.

The masked man caught Wu Zhen in time, "Heh, the weak die because of talking too much."

Then he took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket with an expressionless face.

Wherever the white powder touched, blood would flow. "Alas, as the secret guard of the Princess Chang'an, it is your duty to die."

Unfortunately, the only answer he got was the whistling sound of the wind.

Then the figure disappeared, and when it reappeared it was in a simple room.

Although the room was small, there were three beds in it, making it very crowded.

He put Yuzhen down on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and looked at the children one by one. They had all grown up.

He often feels conflicted. It has been six years since the incident happened, and he has been planning for these six years.

Sometimes I would think about not taking revenge and just letting these six children live a peaceful life in the village.

But today he strengthened his mind. If they lived here, they would always be bullied by others. Only by standing on that high place could they succeed.

Otherwise, like what happened today, they would just use poison to knock out a few children, and then steal the children without anyone noticing.

He stayed with the children and talked for a while before leaving. Although they had fallen into a deep sleep, he had been there.

I went to the next room by the way. Some people were sleeping more soundly than pigs.

The next day, when it was still dark, Yu Zhen woke up first, feeling uncomfortable all over.

He seemed to have a dream in which someone took him away, and then for some unknown reason took him back.

The person holding him seemed to be his father, but it was not certain.

Just as I shook my head, I heard a noise, "Brother, why are you up?"

"Today I am going to town with my mother to find a teacher and sell herbs. Do you want to go?"

Yu Zhen shook her neck and said, "I didn't sleep well, so I want to rest at home. Thank you and mother for your hard work."

"Are you sick? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Yu Ze walked over and touched his head.

Yu Zhen smiled, "Brother, I'm really fine."

"I'm glad you're okay, I thought you were feeling unwell.

Have a good rest."

Yu Zhen lay down obediently, "Big Brother, you have worked hard."

"Go to sleep."

After Yuze washed up, Lan Qiyan came out with a messy head, "Good morning, Yuze."

Yuze twitched his lips. His mother's sleep quality was really good. "If you dawdle for a while longer, that street will be closed."
