Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

"Okay, now that I've made the decision, I'll reply to Mrs. Zhang and the Cheng family tomorrow." Grandma Su replied. She felt that what her granddaughter said made sense.

"When Brother Fengzi comes back, we can invite Mrs. Zhang and Uncle Cheng's family to have a meal together and treat it as an engagement party. This way, we can have a matchmaker and an engagement, instead of an unmarried marriage. The only thing missing is a wedding ceremony, and then our two families can discuss and complete it ourselves." Su Xiaoxiao said.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Li also thought it was feasible.

The next day, Grandma Su went out and took care of everything. She said she still wanted to keep her granddaughter for a few years, at least until her daughter-in-law gave birth before she got married!

Grandpa Su quietly did something big. He sold his family's four acres of good farmland to the village chief for two and a half taels. It could have been sold for three taels per acre, but now there is a drought. However, the land deeds are still there, and they are the roots of the common people.

I don't know how Grandpa Su fooled the village head grandfather, but he still felt that he got a great bargain. Grandpa Su came back with ten taels of silver with a heavy face, feeling relieved but also empty.

It was true that the fields were the roots of rural people. He suddenly felt like a rootless duckweed. Thinking of the village chief asking him again and again, he couldn't regret it.

Grandpa Su lowered his head and said nothing, looking very sad. But in his heart he said that since we are all fleeing from the famine, he will not regret it. I hope you don’t regret it!

When I got home, my face turned from gloomy to cheerful. Although I know that I will be tired later, I can't help but feel good now. I don't know why my waist and legs don't hurt anymore.

I feel more and more energetic. Logically speaking, shouldn't I be very tired after being so busy every day? On the contrary, I found that my strength is getting stronger and stronger. I am as energetic as a young man. I can carry things like a young man without feeling tired.

But I didn't think much about it, and attributed it to daily exercise. And the energy is because of hope. I can't help but sigh that people still need exercise and hope. It's not just Grandpa Su who is like this, everyone else is the same, Su's mother Li didn't even have morning sickness! It feels very strange.

Su Xiaoxiao saw all this, but she kept silent, hiding her achievements and fame. What a joke, how could she be in poor health after throwing away so many powerful pills and body-building pills? Did she think her pills were just for show?

Su Xiaoxiao's own strength has also increased a lot. I don't know how much it is. I haven't tried it and I don't dare to try it for fear of scaring others, but I can lift my little brother with one hand like a chicken. My mental strength has also reached level two, and I can cover their thatched house completely. Congratulations.

Time slipped away quietly in the endless stockpiling, and more than half a month passed. When Su Xiaoxiao's apartment was almost full, Cheng Feng came back. When everyone thought he was swallowed by the venomous snakes and beasts in the mountains, he came back with a dead roe deer on his back.

But he looked just like a beggar. Dark and thin, with a scruffy beard, wet hair stuck to his face, and torn clothes. He was simply unbearable to look at. He was sure that if he had just come here, Su Xiaoxiao would definitely not like his appearance.

Cheng Feng returned home, washed his hair, took a shower, tidied himself up, had a meal, and slept soundly for a day and a night before he felt alive again.

In the evening, the Cheng family father and son brought most of the roe deer meat to the Su family! Su Xiaoxiao cooked some, pitiful. It's been so long since I came here, and I finally had a proper meal of meat.

After dinner, Cheng Feng talked about his experiences during this period, saying that he had been searching for more than 20 days and had climbed over several mountains before he finally found a place that was suitable for living. It was behind a rocky mountain.

He accidentally discovered a small crack in the stone mountain. He walked along the crack. After a few miles, there was a small valley. However, there were more than ten acres of flat land in the small valley. Because the mountain was relatively high, there was a pool of spring water dripping down from the bottom, which was clear and you could see the bottom! ! Cheng Feng had tasted it and it was quite sweet.

I also walked around for two days. I didn't find any animal feces or human footprints. It was very secretive. I also said that I encountered wild boars and wolves on the road. The journey from home is about 15 days, and I have marked it.

This is a natural refuge, very secretive. When the time comes, the whole family can go in, and then plant some hidden vegetation in the cracks between the rocks! The two families were very happy to hear this. Cheng Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the lack of a cave, everything else met the requirements. Finally, everyone's task was completed. God knows how much pressure he has been under during this period.

In the past month, Father Su and Uncle Cheng have been running back and forth every day. They have actually stockpiled more than 8000 catties of coarse grain. In addition to the more than 8 catties left by the two families, my younger mother also bought more than catties. If we save a little, we can last for a year or two. By then, we should be able to dig wild vegetables and grow crops. The price of grain has also increased by half. In the past, coarse grains cost five cents per catty, but now it has risen to eight cents.

The two families discussed whether they could buy more. After all, there was no need to worry about not being able to finish the food for so many people. They also bought more seeds, as they would run out of them in less than half a month. Now the river surface was dry and the well water was muddy.

After the two families discussed it, Cheng Feng also joined the last frantic stockpiling of food and goods from the next day. The two families worked together to buy more than 3000 kilograms of grain and more than kilograms of coarse salt in the last half month.

These are just needs, indispensable, so they stopped. At this time, the elderly in the village reacted and secretly started to buy food and stockpile food. However, the price of food has doubled now, and there is a daily purchase limit, with a maximum of 10 kilograms of coarse grains and 1 kilogram of fine grains per person per day. The two families also followed the crowd and bought a few times.

Hu Zi and Su Xiaoxiao were practicing their physical fitness like crazy, and at the same time, they were looking for any fish that had escaped the net and could be eaten. They looked everywhere in the mountains, fields, and soil. They also found pig offal and pig bones that had not been broken, so they bought and sorted them today and put them away after they were done.

In order to save containers, Grandpa Su specially made two large buckets like bathtubs to hold the pig offal and bone soup. He said that people can use it to take a bath after eating. I can’t imagine the scene.

Later, she was very lucky and bought two pig heads, which made Su Xiaoxiao very happy. She cleaned the whole process by herself. Grandma Su, who was watching from the side, was a little impressed by Su Xiaoxiao.

Since having that dream, the granddaughter felt like she had opened her mind. After cleaning up and cooking, she had a meal, which was approved by both families and everyone said was delicious. Uncle Cheng also lamented that there was no wine, and eating pig head with wine was a great feeling! Su Xiaoxiao did have wine, but she didn't take it out.

The day of the engagement party was approaching, and Su Xiaoxiao specially washed her face with facial cleanser in the space and applied some toner before coming out.

As for the dishes, there was a plate of pig ears, a plate of pig offal, a bowl of eggs and leeks, a smashed cucumber, and a fried eggplant. That was the best, three meat dishes. Mrs. Zhang and the Cheng family father and son came early.

She said a lot of nice things, praising the man and woman again and again, saying they were a perfect match, unparalleled in the world, praising them so much that their faces turned red and their heads almost buried under the table. Mrs. Zhang wanted to worship the hall immediately, and then she praised the delicious food today, saying that the coarse flour steamed buns seemed much more delicious. She ate two more and her mouth was watering! Finally, she left with a full stomach.

Su Xiaoxiao finally saw the lethality of matchmakers in this era. She couldn't resist it in her two lifetimes. Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and smiled at each other. In the past half month, their relationship has also warmed up. Occasionally, they touch each other's head and hold hands! They don't dare to do it more often.

The time has come. Tomorrow is the day when the village chief will pick up the scholar. I vaguely remember that he picked him up not far from the village entrance.
