Traveling through 1942 with space

"Wow! So many wild vegetables, so crispy and tender, they look delicious." Second Aunt looked at the half-filled basket of wild vegetables, and the joy on her face was already overflowing.

Seeing the food, Second Aunt stopped turning over the clothes to dry and squatted in front of the bamboo basket to pick up wild vegetables. From time to time, she put a few tender leaves in her mouth and chewed them with satisfaction.

"Heiwa, don't go out alone in the future. At least take your two cousins with you." The aunt walked up to Hou Xiaoge, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Hou Xiaoge's forehead and face, and instructed with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay, aunt. I have weapons borrowed from Brother Erhuan." Faced with his aunt's concern, Hou Xiaoge felt warm in his heart, and waved the shiny sickle in his hand pretending to be indifferent.

"You, kid, are only nine years old, but you act like a little adult. It's all your uncle and I's fault for not being capable enough to feed such a child every day." The aunt touched Hou Xiaoge's sweat-soaked head and said with a guilty look on her face.

"Oh! What's the big deal? We are all family. Hehe! Aunt, I'm not bragging. I'm very lucky now. As long as I go out, I can find these delicious things to eat with my eyes closed." Hou Xiaoge said pretending to brag.

"Hehe! Boy, you really think you are God's illegitimate child and can find food with your eyes closed." The aunt was amused and gave Hou Xiaoge a slap on the head in annoyance.

"Ouch! It hurts."

"Heiwa, what's in this bamboo tube? Did you fill it with water from the river?" Second Aunt at the side took out two bamboo tubes from the weeds and was about to open them.

"Second Aunt, don't, don't open it in a hurry. There are good things inside." Hou Xiaoge rushed to Second Aunt, looked around, and said in a low voice.

"Oh? What good stuff?" Second Aunt and Younger Sister-in-law were also curious when they saw Hou Xiaoge's mysterious look on his face.

"Let's go and look behind our wheelbarrow. There's a quilt blocking the view over there, and it's far from other houses."

Hou Xiaoge glanced at a few tribesmen who were hanging clothes to dry not far away and winked at the two of them.

"Wow! Heiwa, this, this, this is fish soup." After opening the bamboo tube, the second aunt was immediately attracted by the smell of the fish soup.

"Hehe! There was a heavy rain yesterday, and the fish were knocked unconscious. I used a branch to catch three fish weighing more than two kilograms. I was afraid that bringing them back would attract attention, so I just boiled them into fish soup and brought them back." Hou Xiaoge said with a proud smile.

"Three big fish weighing more than two kilograms, is this bamboo tube also fish soup?

My dear mother, her aunt, do you think our Heiwa is really registered with the old man? This is too good luck. "The second aunt laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared.

The young girl was also shocked at this time. The fish in this river are not so easy to catch. She caught three big fish weighing more than two kilograms in a row. It was like God was chasing her and feeding her.

"Heiwa, you may really be God's illegitimate child." The young aunt held a bamboo tube tightly in both hands and said in disbelief.

"Cough cough!"

"Aunt, this is just my luck, don't be superstitious." Hou Xiaoge said in a serious tone.

"Little brat, even if you have a name in God's eyes, you are still my, Hou Cuihua's nephew. You little bastard, you're still pretending to be so great in front of your aunt," the aunt rolled her eyes at Hou Xiaoge in annoyance.

"Heiwa, there are several kilograms of fish meat in this fish soup. Why don't we go to the market to exchange it for food." After joking, the aunt suggested exchanging the fish soup in the bamboo tube for food.

Although the second aunt on the side was a little reluctant, she nodded in agreement.

"Aunt, I've mashed the fish into a paste. It doesn't look good. We can't get much food in the market. Let's keep it for ourselves!

Look at Hei Niu and Xiao Lan, their bodies have not yet fully recovered and it rained yesterday, so they need to take good care of themselves to prevent getting sick.

We don’t know when this famine will end, so we must be in good health when we escape to Qin Province.

I have picked out all the fish bones from this fish soup, so it will be safe for us to drink it directly from the bamboo tube." Hou Xiaoge looked at his two brothers and sisters sleeping under the wheelbarrow, and pretended to swallow his saliva.

Hou Xiaoge knew the weaknesses of her second aunt and younger sister-in-law, so before every discussion, she would bring up her younger brothers and sisters first.

Sure enough, when they heard Hou Xiaoge mention her younger brothers and sisters, Second Aunt and Sister-in-law both looked worried.

"Second aunt, little aunt, just relax! As long as we keep up with the food, Hei Niu and Xiao Lan will get better soon.

You should have noticed that with the good life these days, the two little ones look much better and have become more lively.

I'll bring more delicious food later, let's help Hei Niu and Xiao Lan recover sooner." Hou Xiaoge smiled and began to pua the two elders in a friendly manner.

"Okay, this fish is caught by you. Since you don't agree to sell it, let's keep it for ourselves and also give it to everyone to nourish their bodies." Second Aunt nodded with a smile.

"Second aunt, aunt-in-law, I'm going to bed first. I didn't sleep much last night, and I ran around all morning. I'm really sleepy." Hou Xiaoge yawned, crawled under a wheelbarrow and lay down.

"Heiwa is a very sensible kid! He found some firewood this morning, and not only did we boil water, but many of the villagers around us also benefited from it.

Now we have to find wild vegetables and fish soup. He is only nine years old, it is really hard for him." The aunt looked at Hou Xiaoge who fell asleep on the ground with a distressed look on her face.

"His aunt, here, cover Heiwa with this. Be careful not to catch a cold." Second Aunt took a dried jacket and handed it to the aunt.

Hou Xiaoge has never had a dream since he came to this age. He falls asleep every day when he is tired.

After falling asleep at noon today, Hou Xiaoge dreamed that his family successfully escaped to Qin Province; then he dreamed that a little bastard with a small tuft of mustache under his nose was chasing him everywhere with a gun; then he dreamed that he was sitting high on a golden palace, with billions of wealth at his fingertips with a wave of his hand.

…………

"Brother Heiwa, wake up, it's time to eat."

Hou Xiaoge was dreaming when he was suddenly awakened by the shaking.

When he opened his eyes, he saw his cousin Xiao Hei Niu lying on his chest and playing.

"So it was you who was suppressing me, causing me to have nightmares all the time."

Hou Xiaoge, who was being chased by thousands of Japanese soldiers in his dream, woke up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a deep breath. He pulled the little guy over unhappily and slapped him twice on the butt.

"Brother Heiwa, my mother asked me to call you for dinner, but I called you many times but you didn't wake up." Little Hei Niu said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go eat." Hou Xiaoge climbed out from under the wheelbarrow and pulled the little guy over to the crowd.

"Heiwa, it's just you and Heiniu left. Here, drink quickly." The uncle smiled and handed a bamboo tube to Hou Xiaoge.

"middle!"

Hou Xiaoge did not refuse, nor did he look down on others for having drunk it, nor did he give in to his little cousin. He just took the bamboo tube and took a few big gulps.

"That's enough. Give the rest to Hei Niu!" Hou Xiaoge shook it, and there was still a small bowl left. She handed it to Second Aunt with a smile.

"Heiwa, you have to eat well. This fish porridge was made by you. Our family is benefiting from you today." The uncle asked with a smile.

"Yes, Heiwa, just eat a little if it's not enough. Your aunt gave some to Hei Niu just now." Erda also responded.

"That's enough, Erda. I drank several big bowls of fish soup at noon, and now I'm eating so much. It's enough." Hou Xiaoge touched his stomach and explained with a smile.

"Well, Hei Niu is really benefiting from you." Second Aunt said with a happy face.

"Second Aunt, we are all family, this is too eccentric." Hou Xiaoge understood what Second Aunt meant and shook his head with a smile.

After feeding the little cousin, Second Aunt rinsed the bamboo tube with water and made a lot of fish soup, which she shared between her two sons.
