The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

What the eldest brother said was right, the third brother is an ungrateful person.

My wife and I had been so nice to him before, but now he was relying on his money and didn't listen to me.

No, he has to find a way to keep the third brother's money in his own hands!

Seeing that his father was silent, Boss Lu thought that he was still on the side of the third brother, so he had to keep quiet, feeling secretly resentful.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Next to him, Da Zhuang spread out his bedding and sat in a ventilated spot at the door, listening to the conversation inside.

He didn't quite understand. When there was nothing to eat at home, the three of them depended on each other and had a very close relationship.

How come now that we have enough food and drink, the relationship between Dad and Grandpa is not as close as before?

After a while, Old Man Lu calmed down and took out his bag to distribute the food.

These bundles contained the cakes that had been saved from working on the boat.

In addition to what Dazhuang brought back, he and the eldest brother would save one pancake every night.

Old Man Lu picked and chose from his bag, intending to take out some of the less fresh ones.

After choosing for a long time, the one that was brought out was still the vegetable pancake that the third brother had just given him.

Old Man Lu silently scolded his third son again before taking out the vegetable pancake.

He and Boss Lu each got one, and Dazhuang got half.

Da Zhuang sat on the doorstep, catching the fallen crumbs with one hand and carefully chewing the half vegetable pancake that was given to him.

To be honest, I have eaten the meat buns and white flour buns given by my elder sister.

This bitter vegetable pancake really doesn't taste good when eaten again.

But when he almost starved to death, he swore a vow to God.

If I can survive, I will never waste any food again.

Da Zhuang carefully finished half of the vegetable pancake, and then carefully ate the crumbs in his hand.

I drank some water and then I felt less hungry.

At this time, the old village chief's wife came out of the kitchen with food and was about to go back to the house.

Seeing him sitting alone on the door frame, looking a little pitiful, he handed him a two-grain pancake.

Da Zhuang knew that food was precious and wanted to refuse, but Boss Lu quickly came out and took it.

The old village chief's wife looked at Boss Lu like this, then looked at Dazhuang, sighed and left.

Old Man Lu also felt that it was a bit shameful for the boss to do this, but after experiencing the experience of almost starving to death before, he was no longer as concerned about his reputation as before.

At this moment, after Boss Lu got the pancake, he was afraid that Old Man Lu would put the pancake away as well.

He quickly broke off half and gave it to Old Man Lu, then broke the remaining half into two pieces and handed one to Da Zhuang.

"Da Zhuang, this two-grain pancake smells delicious, come and eat it!"

As he said this, he took a bite of half of the pancake in his hand.

He chewed the food with big mouthfuls while educating Dazhuang.

"Silly son, have you forgotten the time when we almost starved to death?

In the future, if someone offers you food, just take it.

You have to be able to survive starving before you can even think about face, you know!"

Da Zhuang looked at the pancake in his father's hand, which was almost as big as himself, and nodded.

Even though his father had many faults, he still loved him.

Thinking of this, he broke off another half of the two-grain pancake in his hand and handed it to Boss Lu.

Boss Lu waved his hand: "Dad has some here, you can eat it yourself, you look so thin!"

When Boss Lu said this, he looked at Da Zhuang's face and said in surprise:

"We didn't eat much on the boat, but you look a little fatter than before."

Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang felt a little flustered and put the pancake back in his hand.

When his eldest sister fed him, she reminded him not to let his father and grandfather know.

He always kept this in mind, for fear of causing trouble for his elder sister.

Although he felt conflicted and uncomfortable about the fact that he had been eating alone.

But thinking about what his elder sister said, he didn't show any sign of wrongdoing.

At this moment, seeing that his father was getting suspicious, he felt very panicked.

Fortunately, Boss Lu only expressed his doubts and put his attention back on the pancakes.

Da Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and decided to be more careful next time.

......

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang walked around the street and came back. After putting the things back in the room, they secretly called Dazhuang out.

In addition to the delicious food he bought, he also handed him the candy man.

Da Zhuang was very happy when he saw the sugar man.

He had seen the kids in the team eating before and was extremely envious.

But he knew his family's situation. The copper coins in his grandfather's hand had to be saved to buy food and would not be wasted on sugar men.

He just told himself silently that food was life-saving and it didn't matter if the sugar man didn't eat it.

But when he saw his elder sister bought it for him, he couldn't suppress his excitement. After taking the candy man, he happily jumped into his elder sister's arms.

After a while of being affectionate, her little face turned red.

Holding the sugar man, he ate it in small bites.

Seeing that Qin Lang was still staring at the candy figure in Dazhuang's hand, Lu Qingqing handed him the candy figure she had not finished eating.

Two boys, one big and one small, were eating the candy in a competition, taking turns to eat, and comparing the size of the candy figures in their hands from time to time.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

After checking into the inn, Lu Tianming arranged for people to guard the dock, for fear of missing a passing ship.

Except for the people on duty, the rest of the people went to the shop to start buying.

This time, each family bought little food.

Only a small portion of the food purchased in Yangfeng City has been consumed so far.

If you buy too much, the carriage won’t be able to carry it all.

Therefore, most families replenished the food they had consumed previously.

In addition, some salt, needles and thread and other supplies were purchased.

In the entire team, only Lu Laosan bought the most food.

There was no way, his father, elder brother and nephew all followed him.

We don’t know what the road ahead will be like, so it’s always a good idea to store as much food as possible within the capacity of the carriage.

When Sun Cui saw this, she became sullen again.

The team stayed in the inn for three days.

At this time, each family had already purchased supplies, but the team was still reluctant to set off.

Lu Tianming led people to the dock to check every day, but he was a little anxious as no big ship arrived.

He set a deadline for himself and decided to wait for two more days. If they still didn't see the big ship, they would just drive away.

Everyone in the team also knew his plan, so they took advantage of this time to prepare delicious food in various ways to nourish their families.

That evening, when Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang came back from buying snacks, they saw Aunt Zhang running towards them in a hurry.

When Aunt Zhang saw her, she hurriedly pulled her to a corner.

"Daya, something big happened!

Prince Jing's army is about to reach Lutian County, and the Sun family is busy packing up their belongings and escaping!

Go back quickly and tell your people to pack up their things and go to the north gate around 11:00 PM.

At that time, the city gate will open.

The Sun family and the wealthy families in the city would go to the dock together and take a boat to escape south.

Your team should follow us out and we will meet at the dock!"
