Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

At this time, Su Yousheng gently tugged at the corner of her clothes and reminded her with some concern: "Mom, if everyone in the village follows us, we have to pick some people to lead the way. Otherwise, with so many people and so much luggage, especially the elderly and children, how can we move?"

What he said made a lot of sense, and Sun Wan nodded.

Then, Sun Wan turned to look at Su Shunde and said to him, "Father-in-law, I'll leave this matter to you. Select a few strong men to take turns to lead the way."

Su Shunde nodded in agreement. He knew that this matter was very important and must be arranged properly.

Walking at the front of the team was Sun Wan's family. Zhang Yu Niang was riding on a large blue mule covered with a thick mattress, holding the reins tightly and appearing to be extremely cautious.

Su Yaozong followed closely behind, ready to protect her at any time.

Su Yousheng's two sons were arranged to sit in a basket on their family's big gray donkey, one on each side.

This simple arrangement is actually full of parents' thoughts, which are to ensure the safety of the children and prevent the donkey from feeling uncomfortable due to excessive burden.

Sun Wan's family also had a black donkey, which was given to Li Guangyang to ride. Li Xishui, who had recovered a lot, walked on his own with the help of a stick. Even Li Erhan, who had been seriously injured before, had completely recovered.

Such a situation is undoubtedly a comforting thing for a family, and everyone's physical condition is improving.

Therefore, no one in the family needed to ride a donkey, so Miaomiao was carried onto the back of the black donkey.

Little Miaomiao looked particularly adorable on the tall donkey's back. She held Li Guangyang's clothes tightly and looked around with curiosity and a little fear.

The road was overgrown with weeds and trees, and the heavy rain in the past few days made the road muddy. I slipped every three steps and my speed was very slow.

This stretch of road was extremely difficult to walk on, and everyone had to be very careful with every step they took, for fear of falling accidentally.

Even so, when people see edible wild vegetables and branches on the roadside, they will stop to pick them or cut them with sickles and put them in baskets to eat on the road.

This is not only a good way to save food, but also allows everyone to replenish their energy along the way while enjoying the simple delicacies provided by nature.

Zhang Kun was leading the donkey carrying the Su Baishu and Su Bailin trees. Seeing Sun Wan struggling forward with a large bag on her back and a small basket in her hands, the two little grandsons immediately shouted, "Grandma, let us carry your bag!"

Such scenes warm people's hearts. Although the child is not very strong, his desire to help his family is extremely precious.

Sun Wan looked at them lovingly and waved her hands to refuse, "It's okay, grandma can still carry me. Just sit down and listen to uncle."

Although she said this, she felt warm in her heart because she knew that her children were sensible and filial.

As she walked along the road, she noticed that there were thick trees on both sides.

These trees not only give people a visual shock, but also provide a certain degree of psychological comfort for passers-by, as if suggesting that there is hope and opportunity waiting for everyone ahead.

She thought that this single-plank bridge was indeed difficult to cross, and it would need to be made of at least three trees tied together to be solid.

So I decided to enter the space market to find ropes to solve this problem.

This is a very practical idea. When faced with difficulties, we always need to find ways to solve the problems in order to move forward.

After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable rope for sale. In desperation, he posted a purchase notice, expressing his willingness to exchange food for rope.

This is the most reasonable option at the moment, as it can both solve the problem and utilize existing resources at home.

After all, the only thing she has available for trade now is food.

After sending the message, she continued to move forward, but her feet were still slippery and difficult to walk. Su Yaozong handed his mother a wooden stick as thick as a child's arm, "Mom, it will make you walk more steadily if you hold on to this. The ground is very slippery, so you must be careful."

His words were full of care, making people feel the deep love of family.

Sun Wan actually loves her sons very much. They are all obedient, hardworking and yes, they are all good guys.

This evaluation comes from a mother's deep and unspoken feelings, and is also the best recognition of all the hard work they have put in during their growth process.

The further we went into the mountains, the lighter the rain became.

Maybe it’s because the trees here are dense and block a lot of rain.

The wild vegetables and herbs on the mountain gradually began to grow, and occasionally you could see a few pheasants and rabbits running and jumping among the woods.

Every time they saw this, the people in Sujia Village would get in a commotion and rush to chase the wild animals.

Sun Wan didn't care about that anymore. Since they were going to spend the night at the mountain stream, it would take several hours to cut down the trees.

The tools in her hands were not very convenient to use, so she could only chop hard with the hatchet, and sweat kept sliding down her cheeks.

She actually had two axes hidden in her space, but she didn't want to use them unless it was absolutely necessary.

At that time, we can find a way to make Jin Fulai’s young master take the blame.

While I was thinking about these things, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my forehead. I looked down and found that it was a small brown ball with thorns that fell on the ground. I looked up and saw dozens of tall chestnut trees here. Because they received sufficient sunlight, they were all ripe, and the chestnut shells on the trees were cracked, revealing the fresh chestnuts inside.

Of course we can’t let go of such good things, we have to pick them all up quickly.

Although she had originally planned to do it alone, considering that the villagers had nothing to fill their stomachs, she still called out, "Zhang Kun, Zhang Kun, wait a minute! There are a lot of edible things here. Let's rest for a while."

When the person behind heard the words "you can eat", his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately ran over.

Sun Wan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she saw these fellow villagers with muddy faces and skinny bodies.

She pointed to the chestnut trees and said comfortingly, "Look, these are chestnuts covered with thorns. Once you peel them open, the berries inside are incredibly delicious. It's definitely better than chewing on those dry tree roots."

Hong Su Yousheng gently pulled his mother's arm and said worriedly, "Mom, how do you know these things are edible? If something goes wrong after eating them, you'll be blamed again."

Sun Wan smiled slightly and replied gently, "I've seen roasted chestnuts at the young master of Jin Fulai before. He even showed me how to eat this wild variety."

Everyone finally understood and thought to themselves that this was a great opportunity. Not only could they meet the young master, but they could also learn new knowledge. This was undoubtedly a precious gain for them.

After listening to her detailed explanation, someone in the group couldn't wait to ask, "Auntie, can we start picking now?"
