Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder
Chapter 9 The Little Cannon Fodder in the Escapist Story 9
As for Cheng Feng, the next day after the discussion, he carried water, salt, shoes, a homemade bow and arrow, and some dry food and headed for the deep mountains and forests! ! He needed to find a suitable place to live.
There must be water, flat land, suitable for growing crops, preferably caves, not easy to find, no wild animals, and many other requirements! It feels like the place to be found is a paradise. Thinking of hearing so many requirements when he was about to set off, his face turned green. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh when she thought of this.
Later, Su Xiaoxiao asked her father to bring back pig offal when he came back from outside. Pig offal is not expensive now, only three copper coins per set. After buying it, she taught Grandma Su and Li how to handle it and how to clean it with stove ash. Li even vomited during pregnancy. She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with tears in her eyes!
It really stinks, but after it is processed, it smells really good. After eating it once, you will never vomit again, and it can also help clean it later. After all, it is a meat dish, right? If you can't afford meat, can you afford pig offal?
After that, Father Su and his family basically bought all the pig offal during this period. The butcher saw that they came more often and knew them, so he took the initiative to keep some pig offal for them, and occasionally gave them a few shaved pig bones that could reflect light. When Su Xiaoxiao saw it, her eyes lit up and she said that this was a good thing and it was the best thing to make soup.
In the 21st century, pig bones are more expensive than meat, and pigs that have not eaten feed are more nutritious. So after Su's father bought all the pig offal, he also bought all the pig bones and shanks. Su Xiaoxiao was very happy.
Uncle Cheng was both happy and distressed when he saw her. He was happy that she was thrifty and knew how to live, but he was distressed that her child was lacking meat. He would have to hunt more to get some meat for the child. It was all because of the good education of the Su family. The Cheng family had found a treasure.
After eating the pork offal and pork bone soup once, he stopped talking. Every time he bought the offal and pork bones, he was more anxious than Su's father, for fear that someone else would buy them.
After half a month of hard work, the villagers began to wonder why the Su family members who used to work in the fields disappeared. Father Su and Uncle Cheng went out early and came back late every day. Did they make a lot of money outside?
I didn't chat with them anymore. I just watched them busying around, but I didn't know what they were busy with. Some people even came to the Su family to ask about their interests!
"What do Su Dayong and Cheng the Hunter do outside every day? You never go to the fields! What are you doing at home all day?" Looking at Grandpa Su weaving baskets and Mrs. Su sorting wild vegetables.
The old man sighed and replied, "What can I do? The weather is hot and it doesn't rain every day. Anyway, there is no hope for the fields this year. Seeing it too much will only make me more sad. I might as well do something else at home to distract myself."
Dayong and the others, look outside to see if there is any work to do? Although there is no harvest, we still have to eat, otherwise we will starve to death. Alas, this God really doesn't let people live." Those people who are interested in doing good things were fooled away by Grandpa Su.
In fact, we are very fortunate that their house is not far from the foot of the mountain and far away from the villagers, otherwise they will definitely become suspicious, because they spend most of their time cooking and making food, and the smell of boiling pig offal is quite fragrant.
Later, other villagers also came several times, and they all said that the old man had fooled them away with one excuse or another.
When meeting villagers who had a better relationship with the Su family, Old Man Su would give them a few subtle reminders, such as the weather was abnormal, food prices would definitely rise, they would not be able to pay taxes, and they should stockpile some food at home, otherwise they would starve, etc. It was their business whether they believed it or not and he did not care about it!
There were a few who believed it and were going to buy some food to store at home. In fact, the price of food has already started to rise, with each category rising by two or three cents, and it is estimated that it will rise even more sharply in a while. Su Dayong and Cheng Liehu were both very fortunate and believed more and more in the reality of the dream.
Later, when the villagers saw Cheng the Hunter appearing at the Su family every day, they spread the rumor that they were about to get married. The two families did not deny it, nor did they confirm it, until everyone in the village knew that the two families were going to get married.
On this day, Mrs. Zhang came to the Su family. Mrs. Zhang was the one that Aunt Chen had invited to be the matchmaker between the two families. She came to the Su family today just to ask, "Are they really going to get married?" How come he, the matchmaker, didn't know about it, and it was all over the village.
Grandma Su quickly pulled Mrs. Zhang in and poured her a glass of water. Then she said, "Where did you hear that? If they really wanted to get married, how could they not look for you? Look, Fengzi has gone to the mountains. Isn't Fengzi's father looking for work outside with Dayong? The hunter came back too late and was too lazy to light a fire, so we asked him to build a fire and eat here. Who knew that the news would get out? Look, it's a mess. Besides, it hasn't rained for so many days, and we are about to run out of food. How can we have enough food to hold a wedding? Besides, my little girl Xiao is still young, don't you think?" Grandma Su said in embarrassment.
"That being said, if you really want to get married, you can get married. Don't hunters have carts? When the time comes, just put on red clothes, cover your head with a veil, and push the cart to take you back. As for the banquet, it's even simpler. Give each person two whole grain buns, two candies, and buy two pounds of melon seeds and peanuts to serve to the guests. Then it will be complete and lively."
"Someone held a wedding in the same way a few days ago. Isn't this a special thing to do at a special time? Everyone can understand. What do you think? If you agree, I will discuss it with Hunter Chen tomorrow, and then ask Blind Zhou to calculate a date. Let's get everything done in perfect order." The old woman said anxiously.
"Mrs. Zhang, let's do this. I'll discuss it with the child's parents tonight and give you a reply tomorrow. What do you think?" Grandma Su said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, then I'll go back first and wait for your news." Mrs. Zhang said and left.
Grandma Su returned to the room and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. She asked, "Xiao girl, you heard what Mrs. Zhang and I said, right? It's been more than ten days. What do you think? No matter what, you have to give him an answer. You said it's a pity that Fengzi is not at home, otherwise he would have come to ask you a long time ago."
"We really need to give them an answer. It doesn't matter whether we get married or not. If we get married, we can shut up the villagers and they won't have to avoid suspicion. What Mrs. Zhang said is also a good idea. Anyway, they also said they will consummate the marriage in two years. Xiaoxiao, mother can't bear to part with you and wants to keep you for a few more years. But I'm afraid that if we get married in the deep mountains, there won't be any witnesses except our two families, and no blessings from others. That would be too unfair to you." Li also spoke up.
"Grandma, mother, I don't want to get married now. I can get married in the mountains. At least we don't have to rush. At that time, it will be enough for us to have two families. I don't care about other people's opinions.
The main reason is that I don't want to let the villagers get away with it, even though it's only two coarse flour buns, I can afford it. When we were in trouble, no one spoke up for us.
Although there were only two coarse flour buns, they became extremely precious after two months. We didn’t even have enough to eat! Besides, we are married, and no matter how close our relationship is, we will become a member of the Cheng family. You are still pregnant, so wait until you settle down.
Take your time to get married. By then, your child will be born, so just bear with it for a month or more. It's just gossip, it can't hurt us." Su Xiaoxiao decided.
She doesn't need so many people's blessings, as long as she lives happily. She doesn't live her life for others to see. She still can't get over the time when her family was isolated by the villagers! Although there is only a basket of coarse flour buns, it can save lives at a critical moment. She is so stingy and fussy, so what?
