I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Three days later, the people of Liujia Village, led by Liu Yingxiong, once again embarked on their journey to escape famine.

Why did we set off again three days later?

This story actually started three days ago when Liu Xiaoxiao came back from the mountains injured.

Because the short day was not enough for them to find much food in the mountains, the food they brought with them was almost gone, and they had no time to pick the edible fruits and mushrooms in the mountains.

Therefore, many women united and found Liu Yingxiong, hoping that he would allow them to leave two days later.

In fact, if you leave the things that can be picked but don’t pick them, you might go hungry on the way later. Liu Yingxiong also felt it was a pity.

Just when he was hesitating whether to agree to their request, several more men came to him and said the same thing as the women. They all felt that the resources on this mountain were really rich. After going out hunting today, they encountered a group of wild boars when they were about to return home.

But they were outnumbered at the time, fearing they might be outmatched, so they didn't dare to act. They figured if they could stay a few more days, their patrol would surely be able to hunt down all the wild boars. It was a large herd! There would probably be at least a dozen or twenty! With that much meat, every household would get a good share, making their journey easier.

So, after Liu Yingxiong agreed, they scouted the area for two days and finally succeeded in capturing the wild boars on the morning of the third day. Then they spent another day collecting the pork. Today, everyone was able to happily embark on their journey to escape the famine.

In the past few days, Liu Xiaoxiao was also confined in the camp by Grandma Liu and was not allowed to go into the mountains. She said that it was for her wounds to heal quickly, but going into the mountains would inevitably lead to injuries. She also asked her if she wanted to have scars here and there in the future!

Liu Xiaoxiao knew that her grandmother was doing this for her own good, so she stayed in the camp obediently, waiting for her wounds to heal. However, she still helped her family with some chores. In order to store more food, her aunt took the girls into the mountains early every day, while Liu Xiaoxiao, Grandma Liu, and Grandpa Liu stayed at home to deal with the broken limbs and leaves that they had not had time to sort through in the mountains.

The most common task was processing chestnut shells. I heard they had found a chestnut forest, where everyone in their village had brought back tons of chestnuts. Since they were wild, each nut was very small, but chestnuts can be a staple food, so no one gave up on picking them just because they were small.

"Grandma, these chestnuts are really delicious. Although they are small and a little hard to peel, they are really sticky and soft after being fried. They are really delicious. If you don't believe me, try it." Liu Xiaoxiao said as she handed a handful of chestnuts to Grandma Liu to taste.

Zhang Xiujuan took one with a smile and said, "I'll just take a bite, you can save the rest for when you're hungry."

Liu Xiaoxiao knew that Grandma Liu was reluctant to give them up! Everyone used the chestnuts they picked up as their staple food. They cooked a pot of chestnuts with wild vegetables and leaves for every meal, and that was enough for the whole family.

And Grandma Liu also agreed to fry two pounds of shrimp for fun. Because of this, many old ladies said to Grandma Liu: You spoil your granddaughter too much. This is not acceptable.

Some people even say, "Girls will always marry outside the family. If you spoil her so much, she will forget you completely after she gets married and won't even be able to show her filial piety to you twice a year."

But Grandma Liu didn't care what they said. If someone said something too much, she would reply: "I'm your granddaughter, I can spoil her as much as I want. Is it in your way when you poop or fart? You talk so much, I'm afraid you must have eaten some shit!"

Liu Xiaoxiao had never seen her grandmother scold anyone. She didn't expect that it wasn't that Grandma Liu didn't know how to scold, but that she was too good at scolding, so she usually kept her words to herself!
