In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Wang Miaomiao looked at her brother Wang Qingliu's wide eyes.

He was well aware that he lacked prestige among them.

Squinting his eyes, he once again pinched Wang Qingliu's soft spot and asked:

"Brother, don't you want to take the entrance exam or high school entrance exam?"

Hearing Wang Miaomiao's low voice, Wang Qingliu sighed in his heart.

This isn't an inquiry, it's clearly a threat!

However, due to the circumstances, if he wanted to take part in the college entrance examination, he had to submit to one side.

Thinking of this, Wang Qingliu picked up the bowl and started eating the corn rice.

Seeing Wang Qingliu's decision to join the team, Wang Miaomiao still felt a little unhappy.

But as a scholar, I can understand that my brother has some pride.

As long as the other four brothers loyally fall to his side, it will be enough!

Except for the boss Wang Qingliu who had some worries in his heart, everyone enjoyed the meal very much!

Including the young and ignorant Xiaoqi, her small stomach could not eat two large bowls of corn rice, but she still stuffed as much as possible into her mouth.

The happy little face is round and plump.

Wang Miaomiao was secretly happy: her family had eaten dry rice with fried lotus root early in the morning, while that vicious woman was still hungry...

......

In town, because today is the last day that the mutton soup restaurant is open.

When Shen Qian arrived, not only were there fewer tables for people to eat outside the mutton soup restaurant, but the door was also half-open.

The store owner seemed to have anticipated Shen Qian's return. As soon as she sat down, she drank a large bowl of mutton offal soup that was about to overflow!

One bowl has enough ingredients for two bowls!

The buns are steamed with thin skin and large fillings.

When five big buns were placed in front of Shen Qian, she was stunned.

"Eat!" The owner of the mutton soup shop said to Shen Qian with a smile:

"Today's sincere offer to our regular customers, no price increase for extra quantity!"

Shen Qian was amused by the shop owner.

If everything about him didn't meet the standards of today's people, Shen Qian would really suspect that he had seen the "advertisement".

After eating the mutton soup, Shen Qian wrapped the remaining three buns in oil paper, put them in the package, took out one penny of silver and handed it to the store owner.

In the past, these things were worth no more than a dozen cents.

But at the moment, not even a penny of silver may be enough.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, but just took the silver coin from Shen Qian's hand and said goodbye with a smile:

"When food prices stabilize, we hope you will come often!"

What this means is that this store will remain open in the future to establish a good relationship!

Although Shen Qian knew about the invasion that would happen later, she absolutely could not tell anyone about it at this moment.

Just smiled and said goodbye.

After sitting on Wang Daniu's ox cart again, Wang Daniu looked puzzled and said jokingly:

"Ms. Wang Shen, you've been quite open-minded in the past half month."

"I go to town every day to drink mutton soup and eat meat buns."

Shen Qian glanced at Wang Daniu and saw that no one around was looking at them.

Then he sighed:

"The drought is so severe that even in Daliang, food prices have skyrocketed. People are starving and resorting to eating meat from the mountains."

"Then wouldn't the grasslands further north be completely barren?"

"So... the barbarians went south to plunder, but they couldn't find any food or supplies near my northern border."

"He's Uncle Niu, what do you think?"

"What will those barbarians do?"

After hearing Shen Qian's question, he kept chewing over Shen Qian's previous words.

A horrifying thought came into his mind.

He slowly opened his mouth and asked cautiously and tentatively:

"Are you...going further into the North?"

After saying this, he even swallowed nervously.

Shen Qian looked at the nervous Wang Daniu and clapped her hands:

"As expected of his uncle, he understood everything immediately!"

"We are only one county away from the border."

"If I don't eat more, and something unexpected happens, I'll die on the way."

The words fell.

Shen Qian simply closed her eyes, leaned against the edge of the ox cart, and dozed off.

Wang Daniu also knew that many things here could not be said, otherwise it would definitely cause panic!

After being questioned by the county magistrate, you may very likely be beaten with a stick!

And it was at this moment that he had a deeper understanding of Wang Shen: a true wise man with a long-term vision that could see through the actions of the barbarians!

"rock!"

Shen Qian had just closed her eyes and dozed off when the ox cart suddenly shook. She opened her eyes and looked.

I found that Wang Daniu was driving a ox cart towards the outside of the town.

After having a premonition of what Wang Daniu was going to do, Shen Qian reminded him:

"Don't buy too much food, save more silver."

Hearing Shen Qian's reminder, Wang Daniu's body shook violently.

He just drove the livestock, but Wang Shen knew his inner thoughts.

Wang Daniu asked in a trembling voice:

"Then your family, Wang Shen..."

"It was sold half a month ago." Wang Shenshi took over the conversation without waiting for Wang Daniu to continue.

The conversation between the two was overheard by people passing by.

I will just feel confused.

Wang Daniu lowered his head and drove the ox cart back to the village, his face full of worry.

When Shen Qian got off the car at the village entrance, she still reminded him:

"Don't tell anyone. Only your wife knows about the land sale."

"I understand, sister-in-law." Wang Daniu responded, changing the way he addressed her.

He was actually six years older than Wang Shen, but Wang Shen's late husband was only three days older than Wang Daniu.

Because of this, he had not even wanted to call Wang Shen's late husband "brother" in the past three days, but today when he called Wang Shen "sister-in-law", it came from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Qian's face was filled with smiles when she heard the name.

This move was right again!

Making friends with Wang Daniu can increase your safety several times on the road of fleeing famine!

In his family, all four children are strong and young, and three of them have inherited his stubbornness, and they can easily fight three people in the village.

Much better than those children in my family.

When she thought of the seven ungrateful people in her family, the smile on Wang Shen's face disappeared instantly.

Instead, there was a long sigh.

Just as Wang Shen was approaching the gate of her house, a familiar voice came to her ears.

When she turned around, it was Aunt Li Hua who lived next door to her!

"Mrs. Wang Shen, the food in your house is really too good."

"Early in the morning, I have to cook rice and then stir-fry vegetables."

"I'm so envious! My kids are refusing to go to the fields today unless they have a bowl of porridge."

Shen Qian was stunned at first!

Eating or cooking? With the character of the fourth daughter-in-law, she would never go into the kitchen and touch the utensils.

So this must have been done by the second child in the family.

Moreover, Shen Qian immediately heard the blame in Aunt Li Hua's words.

Laughing and interrupting:

"Hey! It's my own child, so just drink an extra bowl of rice porridge."

"I'm really tired from carrying water these days."

When Aunt Li Hua heard Wang Shen's explanation, the depression in her heart instantly dissipated.

That's true if you think about it carefully.

There is no cow at home, so the children have to fetch water to irrigate the fields every day. It is indeed necessary to eat an extra bowl of rice porridge. After all, there is also food stored in the family that Shen Qian reminded her to buy in advance.

It would be unreasonable for her to blame Wang Shen for this matter at this moment.

When she returned home, Shen Qian found that everyone was there.

Except for Xiaoqi who was not at home, the five sons and one daughter were all sitting in the yard.

There were six bowls of tea on the table.

In the middle of the tea, there was a wooden box that Shen Qian was very familiar with!

There is just a lock on the outside of the wooden box!
