The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!
Chapter 14 Why is it so heartbreaking?
Logically, the daughter and son should be here, so where is Li Jingshu?
She was in the back car, sewing mosquito repellent covers with gauze curtains together with her sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and elder sister-in-law.
Fortunately, they took down all the gauze curtains from their home in the county town and took them with them.
Shen Youyou saw that her grandmother was crying and hiccuping, so she patted her back and advised:
"Grandma, just think about it. Fortunately, we still have time to escape. If our family is conscripted, the only male left is Shen Luming. Wouldn't that be even worse?"
This sentence really made Grandma Hua stop crying. She raised her head and looked straight at Shen Youyou, wondering why she didn't know that her granddaughter's words were so heartbreaking before?
The old lady sobbed and said, "How could I not know that? I just can't accept it. After working so hard for so many years, all the things I have bought are gone, including our brick house and 30 acres of land!"
When Shen Youyou heard this, she realized it was for this reason. That was easy to handle. She took out a gold cake from her bosom and handed it to her grandmother:
"When we get to the new place, we can just build a new house and buy some land. As long as we are alive, these things won't be a big deal."
When Mrs. Hua saw the golden cake, her first reaction was to take a bite.
When Shen Youyou saw her grandmother's actions, she wanted to stop her and say it was unhygienic, but then she remembered what her mother said and shut her mouth.
After the old lady bit it, she found a tooth mark and knew it was real. She pulled her granddaughter mysteriously and asked in a low voice: "Where did this come from?"
Shen Youyou grinned: "My grandfather gave it to me."
Mrs. Hua then remembered why she had to flee from the famine, but her father-in-law did not follow her, so she asked:
"Where's your grandfather? Why didn't he come with you?"
"My grandfather is on a long trip." Shen Luming answered before his sister.
Shen Youyou couldn't laugh anymore. She glanced at her younger brother and whispered in the old lady's ear:
"My grandfather passed away a few days ago. I didn't even know about it. I thought he was away on a business trip."
Old Lady Hua was startled, she lifted the curtain and stuck her head out to ask San'er:
"Why haven't you informed your family yet? No matter how far away this matter is, we should go there."
Her third son sighed and said, "When my father-in-law was not feeling well, I heard that there was an attack from the south.
He told us not to make the family go back and forth, and to take the family north after we were done. We couldn’t stay here any longer.”
Shen Zhiqiu, who was driving the car, felt so sleepy that he was almost dying. He hadn't slept for two days and one night, and he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Old Lady Hua sat in the carriage for a long time, then took out a golden cake that was still warm from her bosom and stuffed it into her granddaughter's hand:
"This is the last thought your grandfather left for you. Keep it well, my dear grandson!"
Her father-in-law is a rich and generous man. He doesn't look down on her third son just because his family is poor. Good people really don't live long!
Such a good person suddenly passed away, and the old lady felt really bad.
Shen Youyou stuffed the golden cake back into the old lady's hand: "Take it, I have more."
Grandma Hua thought that her granddaughter was still young, and it would be bad if she lost the gold, so she decided to keep it for her granddaughter.
He didn't take his granddaughter's words "still" seriously at all.
In the old lady's opinion, she, her old man, and her sons and daughters-in-law had finally saved up more than twenty taels of silver.
The blue brick house and land in the family were all purchased bit by bit over the course of ten years by the third son who opened a private school after he passed the imperial examination.
Even if my in-laws run an escort agency in the city, at best they can save up a few gold cakes. Giving one to my little granddaughter would be really a big deal!
The old lady estimated that what was left was either in the hands of her third son or her third daughter-in-law.
But she guessed wrong. There were five gold cakes. The third son, the third daughter-in-law and Li Quan each had one, and the remaining two were on the little granddaughter, so there really was one in Shen Youyou's arms.
Old Mrs. Hua was a person who could not sit still. She lifted the curtain to pull the corn hanging outside the carriage, then took out a basket and started rubbing the corn kernels.
The corn was not dry yet, so it was very hard to rub it. "Grandma, don't you need to dry the corn before you can thresh it? Do you still want your hands?"
Old Lady Hua looked at her granddaughter helplessly. She was really a city kid who didn't understand anything.
"We are fleeing from famine, so if we go north we will definitely have to pass through a disaster-stricken area, right?
When those refugees see so much corn hanging on our car, they will definitely come up to steal it!
Before we get there, quickly rub them into pellets and put them into sacks. Do you believe that everyone in the car is doing this now? "
In fact, she wanted her granddaughter to help rub it quickly, the more the better.
But when I saw my granddaughter's white and tender little hands, I swallowed the words that were on the tip of my tongue. Then I looked at my grandson and forgot it.
Although the child is a boy, he is too young to even hold the corn.
Alas, she is an old lady born to work, so she should do it herself.
Shen Youyou had no intention of helping her grandmother rub the corn. After all, her grandmother had never let her touch it since she was a child.
But when she saw her grandmother struggling to rub the two corn cobs, she still opened the curtain and shouted, "Brother Erhu, come quickly!"
Erhu heard the shouting and rushed over on horseback, scratching his head stupidly: "Young lady, I am just a servant, I am not worthy of your calling me brother."
Shen Youyou rolled her eyes and said, "We've already fled from famine, and you're still talking about young ladies and young masters. Go to the back of the carriage and find four nails and a hammer.
Then pick out a bamboo pole as thick as your arm from my sack of bamboo poles, and bring it to me, and also bring me a small wooden stool.
She thought of the method her grandmother used in her previous life, which was to tie the Liberation Shoes to a stool, sit on the other end, put the corn on the Liberation Shoes and rub it hard.
The corn kernels will fall down with a rustling sound. It is very efficient and not very labor-intensive.
Although there are no such shoes now, you can get two thick bamboo boards and nail them on a wooden stool, and rub the corn using the same principle of bumps and depressions.
Erhu didn't let Shen Youyou wait too long. After taking the things, he asked his younger brother to sit aside to make room for her.
First cut the bamboo into lengths as wide as the bench, then split the bamboo.
Make several bamboo boards about two centimeters thick, and then nail them to the wooden bench with iron nails.
Place two bamboo boards five centimeters apart and nail the bamboo poles with the surface facing downwards.
Shen Youyou put the small wooden stool threshing artifact on her grandmother's basket and said, "Grandma, come and rub it. Put the corn on it and rub it!"
Old Mrs. Hua had a suspicious look on her face. Her little granddaughter had just given her a lot of trouble and insisted on having two bamboo boards fixed to the wooden stool.
Then your butt will hurt if you sit on it!
She was holding it in her heart, not wanting to scold her granddaughter.
If it was the eldest or second granddaughter, the old lady would have slapped them long ago.
The old lady admitted that she was biased, but there was nothing she could do about it. People are just like that, and the ones she raised are closer to them.
The third daughter-in-law is good in every way, but she is too spoiled. She really can't do anything after giving birth to a child.
But the old lady could understand that the third daughter-in-law was destined to be a young lady and should be served by maids and servants.
But she fell in love with San'er, a poor scholar.
Our family cannot afford that condition, and the third daughter-in-law has no biological mother.
The old lady thought, OK! Let's go to the city to serve!
Once I got there, I couldn't leave because I was worried about my third daughter-in-law's tricks.
It can be said that this little granddaughter was raised by the old lady with great care, from the size of a half brick!
