Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

The sun is scorching.

The ground was made hot by the sun.

Cui Chengliang, Silang and Lidong became more and more enthusiastic as they worked.

"What will Third Uncle do next?"

Cui Chengliang collected the remaining gum and separated the pottery and placed them in the middle of the yard.

"Then we just wait for it to dry."

Shiro couldn't believe it: "That's it?"

"What do you think?"

"I thought it was going to be fired, like a brick kiln."

Cui Chengliang looked at him like a fool: "It costs at least ten taels of silver to build a brick kiln. We have broken pots and bowls that we can't even afford to build a brick kiln if we sell them for a year."

Shi Lang's heart suddenly started beating faster. "Then let's shape the gum into a bowl. Wouldn't that save us even ten cents?"

The last time he looked, the scraps were all from the burning process. Since gum doesn't need to be burned, there's not even any scrap!

He seemed to have discovered a new way to make money.

Cui Chengliang hesitated to speak, and touched his little head: "You can try."

He didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm. As for the result, let the experiment tell him.

Shi Lang was full of confidence: "It will definitely work. I will go to the mountain to collect gum later."

"it is good."

Old man Cui got up from his lunch break, looked at all the repaired pottery in the yard one by one, and called Cui Chengliang to go to the fields.

This time, the third brother finally knew what he should do.

In the evening.

Relatives of four of the people from Willow Village came to deliver bedding. Seeing the thick ropes tied around their feet, they cried out of heartache.

Liushu Village finally had water, and every family was busy farming, but they were detained in Xiahe Village and worked as laborers to reclaim wasteland in Xiahe Village.

In the past, they would have come to cause trouble long ago, but this time Zhu Lizheng issued a stern warning that anyone who came to cause trouble would be expelled from the village.

Now that they have water, life has become more hopeful and no one wants to be driven out of the village.

After delivering the bedding, he returned to Liushu Village in shame under the mocking gazes of the people in Xiahe Village.

I hope they won’t cause trouble again and will be released safely.

The night is getting dark.

The village head arranged for several men to take them back, gave each of them a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, tied their hands and feet after drinking it, and locked them in the house.

Hearing the people outside walking away, several people struggled to stand up.

"These bastards, we worked for a day and they gave us a bowl of porridge. I saw that they only ate dry rice."

The other three also cursed under their breath.

Erzhu had a sullen face and said nothing. He twisted his body into a strange angle and took something out of his pocket.

The other four people had relatives come to give them gifts, but he had nothing.

Someone noticed his movements.

"Brother Erzhu, what are you doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense and help me."

Soon the contents of his pocket were taken out, and the four of them stared in shock.

"Brother...you actually hid a knife!"

"Hurry up and help me untie the rope first."

The knife was covered with a sheath made of thin branches. When the knife was pulled out, the sharp blade flashed coldly in the moonlight.

The rope was easily untied.

Erzhu turned his wrist and helped the other four people untie the ropes.

"Comfortable!"

Letting go of their hands and feet, several people excitedly performed punches and kicks in the house.

I almost died of frustration that day.

"Shitou, have you seen where that fat woman lives?"

"I saw it clearly. She lived in the third house from the east. I saw her go in with my own eyes."

"Come on, I'll take you guys to have a good meal."

The five of them tiptoed out the door.

Erzhu held the knife tightly. The people who came to Xiahe Village to steal food were caught because they didn't bring any suitable weapons.

It's just a broken dog. This time we'll see which is faster, the dog or his knife.

It just so happens that I haven't eaten meat for a long time.

By the light of the fire in the stove.

Feng carefully peeled the last egg.

"Five eggs are not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

I no longer had the energy to swallow eggs during the day, and I put them into my mouth in small bites. But an egg is only this big, and when I took the last bite, I could see reluctance in my eyes.

"I don't know where these kids got the eggs from, but they smell amazing." Feng regretted not looking through them carefully during the day. "I'll go back when I get a chance. They must have hidden some goodies."

After finishing the eggs, there was no more food to eat in the house, so he reluctantly got on the kang.

A sweet pillow.

Lin blew out the oil lamp.

The children in the west room had no money to buy lamp oil, so they would go to bed on the kang after dark.

From time to time, the sound of children laughing and playing on the kang could be heard through the wall.

After all, they are young. They quarreled fiercely during the day but made up at night.

Xiaoqi's giggle passed through the house and floated into the air.

The village was quiet.

The house where they were imprisoned was on the edge of the village, only a hundred meters away from where they were going.

Erzhu didn't encounter any dogs along the way, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance.

"Brother Erzhu, this is it."

Erzhu looked up at the wall and said, "Lengzi, climb over it."

They were used to doing this. A man with long arms and legs stood up, jumped and grabbed the top of the wall, slid into the yard like a loach, landed silently, and then opened the gate from the inside.

The door was not locked, and the snoring from the inner room was deafening. The five people swallowed their saliva and ran straight to the cupboard.

"That's impossible. There's nothing here."

The five people didn't believe it and searched carefully again, but they couldn't find any eggs, not even a mouse.

"Shitou, did you see it wrong?"

"Yes, that's the house. The gate of this fat woman's yard is wider than others."

Erzhu looked towards the inner room with a cold look and said, "Go in and search."

Feng was eating meat in her dream and had no idea that someone had entered the room.

"Brother, there's only a pair of shoes under the kang, and the fat woman lives alone."

"walk into."

It looked like a small mountain was lying on the kang. There was no other person with this figure in the whole Xiahe Village. They had not found the wrong place.

Erzhu pulled out a wire from his head and skillfully opened the cabinet. As soon as the cabinet door opened, a sour and stinky smell almost made them faint.

"This shit stinks worse than my dad's feet. How can you eat eggs if you put them here? Won't they become rotten?"

Erlang's face darkened: "Don't talk and turn it over quickly."

The five men pinched their noses and rummaged through the cupboard, pulling out a pile of wrinkled and dirty clothes, but not a single bite of food.

In the dream, the fragrant pork elbow suddenly gave off a foul odor, which woke Feng up immediately.

There were several shadowy figures on the ground. Feng's eyes widened suddenly and she counted them carefully. There were exactly five of them.

"I just took five eggs, and you came to my room in the middle of the night to make trouble. You're so mean."

Xiaoshan suddenly jumped up from the kang and fell heavily to the ground.

Feng cursed and swore, saying that those brats had grown so powerful that they dared to come back and disgust her.

Shitou was so scared that he turned around and ran away. The remaining three also ran out in a hurry. Erzhu held the knife in his hand and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ran out of the house.

The fat woman was so poor that she wasn't worth killing.

Several people panicked and ran up the mountain.

Feng followed closely behind, her pig-slaughtering roar reaching the sky.

"You black-hearted, rotten fellow, are trying to bully me. Erlang, Silang, stop right there!"

Xiaoqi opened his eyes drowsily.

"Why do we hear mother calling us?"
