Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 5 The Little Cannon Fodder in the Escapist Stories 5

After grandparents had finished packing, Su Xiaoxiao's parents came back. They were all worried. "This thief God really doesn't give us a way to live. If it continues to not rain, we will definitely not be able to pay taxes this year. Sigh," said Su's father Su Dayong with a sigh.

"Okay, let's eat first." said Grandma Su Youshi.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, let's eat first. After dinner, I have something to tell you."

"Xiaoxiao, are you okay? Go out in the sun next time. You scared us yesterday, don't get sick again. What's the matter, girl?" Xiaoxiao's mother, Mrs. Li, asked with a smile. The girl had a fever last night, but she is in much better spirits today.

"Mom, I'm fine now. Let's eat first."

After everyone had finished their meal and cleared the tableware, Su Xiaoxiao said to her younger brother, "Huzi, go and close the gate."

Hu Zi looked at the whole family, then at his sister, and left without saying a word.

No neighbors would come to visit at this time of the year on such a hot day, so when we were talking about business, we would just close the courtyard gate and leave the main door open, so we would be the first to know if someone came in.

Su Xiaoxiao's expression gradually became serious.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, what I'm about to say may be a little unbelievable. But it's all true, you have to believe me. I actually had a very long dream when I was sick this time. I dreamed of a severe drought. After two months of being depressed, there would be war, people would flee from famine, soldiers and bandits would capture able-bodied men, and there would be unruly people and bandits..."

Grandpa Su stood up without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to finish speaking, his eyes widened and he said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiao girl, you can't say that." His voice trembled a little.

The others were not much better, all with terrified expressions on their faces. If this was true, it would be fatal.

"Grandpa, there's no need for me to talk nonsense. And my mother, she is pregnant. This is what I dreamed about. I dreamed that the ending of our family and Uncle Cheng would be..." Su Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red before she finished speaking.

Su Xiaoxiao dropped another bomb, and the whole family was stunned for a long time. After a long while, Su Dayong said to his wife, "Huzi, are you pregnant?"

"I, I don't know. There's no response." Li said in confusion.

"If Hu Zi's mother is really pregnant, then what happened in Xiao's dream should be true. Let's confirm it first. By the way, we have to tell the village chief about this. We need to prepare well." Grandpa Su said anxiously.

"Grandpa, don't go to the village chief's house first, they..." Su Xiaoxiao said with red eyes and hatred.

"What's wrong with them? Are you saying that our family had a bad ending because of your grandfather, the village chief?" Grandpa Su asked in disbelief.

In fact, when Grandpa Su saw his granddaughter's red eyes, he guessed that the family would not have a good ending. Moreover, the family was old, young, and there was a pregnant woman. In this chaotic and turbulent year, encountering bandits and fleeing famine, and escaping without food and clothing, the result must be tragic. He didn't even have the courage to ask. He just didn't expect that the tragedy of the whole family was related to the village chief's family.

"I don't know if it was the village chief, but his son and grandson-in-law are not good people. They are the culprits for the fate of our family..." Su Xiaoxiao shed tears with hatred.

"Nonsense! Hasn't their granddaughter found a husband yet? Where does the granddaughter's son-in-law come from?" Grandma Su You said with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Nanny, it's true. He came more than a month later. He's a scholar..."

Grandpa Su also sat down, and the whole family fell silent again.

“Wow, wow, wow, God really doesn’t give us a chance to live. He is forcing our whole family into a dead end…” Grandma Su You cried in despair.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, now is not the time to be sad. We have to cheer up. It's not chaotic yet, and there is still time to prepare. As long as our family is together, we will definitely get through this." Su Xiaoxiao said firmly, word by word, don't panic now. Time waits for no one, we have to plan well.

"Yes, Xiao is right. We are old enough to have experienced everything. We can't panic. It doesn't matter for us old people, but there are also you young ones, and the one in Huzi's mother's belly..." Grandpa Su's words became more and more difficult. Can they protect this child? Can they protect it until it is born safely? He looked at his daughter-in-law's belly. It would be better if the child came two years earlier.

But since they are here, they can't give up. Their family doesn't have many children, so they must protect this child. There is still a chance and time to prepare. Since they were told in advance, they must be prepared, otherwise God would not have given such a warning. Grandpa Su went from panic and despair to slowly calming down and looking determined!

"How is your Uncle Cheng's family? Is it the same as ours..." Grandpa Su turned to Xiaoxiao and said.

The Cheng family is one of the few families with a different surname in the village. They are also the family of Ye Xiaoxiao's future husband. The two families have always been very close. The Cheng family is a hunter family, consisting of Uncle Cheng and his son Cheng Feng. When Uncle Cheng was hunting in the mountains, he encountered a blind bear, which caused his right leg to limp a little, but it did not affect his walking and self-care.

Fortunately, Cheng Feng had been running in the mountains with his father since he was very young, and he learned all the hunting skills from his father, so the whole family was able to get by. Aunt Cheng died of illness when Cheng Feng was 13 years old. Before she died, she arranged a marriage for her son and Su Xiaoxiao, and then she closed her eyes with peace of mind!

"Yes, grandpa. Brother Feng was captured by soldiers and bandits and his whereabouts are unknown. Uncle Cheng died trying to save..." Su Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Zi.

"What about Hu Zi?" Grandpa Su asked hopefully.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just covered her mouth and shook her head.

The whole family was silent for a long time.

"Old woman, please see how much money we have left. Dayong, we need to prepare food and some items for escaping the famine. Huzi, go to your uncle Cheng's house and ask your uncle Chen and brother Feng to come home for lunch. Old woman, you and Xiao girl go and cook two dishes. Huzi's mother, you go find Uncle Ping's aunt, she can check whether a woman is pregnant. Let's plan well for the afternoon, we will probably be busy in the future." Grandpa Su immediately calmed down and gave the order!

The whole family immediately got to work. Grandma Su took Mrs. Li to the kitchen to get busy, and Su Xiaoxiao went to the vegetable garden, picked some cucumbers and loofahs, processed them and sent them to the kitchen.

Soon, Hu Zi came with Uncle Cheng and his son. Cheng Feng was holding a cured pheasant in his hand. Su Dayong didn't bother to be polite with them. He directly took the chicken to the kitchen and asked them to sit down. He asked them for some news about the town, because they often went to the town to buy and sell game and food, and knew the prices. For example, the current prices of coarse and fine grains, the situation in the town...!

The Cheng father and son were confused by the question. They felt something was not right. The Su family usually didn't care about these things. They also felt that the atmosphere in the family was not right. The woman's eyes were red, and the man had a serious face. They had a feeling that something was wrong.

"Lao Su, if you have something to say, just tell me." Father Cheng asked directly

"Old Cheng, to be honest, I need to buy some food supplies. There are also some things that cannot be explained in a few words. Let's talk about it after we finish eating." Grandpa Su said in a deep voice.

But it was the only way, let's finish the meal first. Half an hour later, the dishes were served, and no one spoke. They finished eating. Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Cheng Feng. If nothing unexpected happened, this might be her future husband.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was already over 1.7 meters tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall. He looked quite stable, with attractive features. Well, I don't reject him! That's all. As for the future, we need to wait and see. When she was about to take another look, the other person turned his head and looked over, and Su Xiaoxiao calmly looked away.
