She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

"Hey, Lian Chengmo, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Banxia flicked the little rabbit and gently tapped him again.

Lian Chengmo silently lowered his head and saw several small claw marks on his body, his face darkening even more.

However, he took a deep breath and his words were no longer difficult.

"I was wrong. Banxia, ​​you're no less than a man; this weight probably won't be a problem for you."

"But this basket is really heavy. Even though you're strong, doing such heavy work all the time will hurt your health. What if you stunt your growth or get sick from being weighed down?"

"Banxia, ​​you can pack less when you go out in the future. If it's really necessary, Ayu and Changshan are both grown up. Taking them along will help share the burden." Lian Chengmo reflected earnestly and offered a solution.

He didn't mention asking others to help carry it. Firstly, Banxia didn't like to trouble people. Secondly, if she wanted to carry something and then pay someone, wouldn't that go against the little girl's original intention of finding food? It would be putting the cart before the horse.

Although Lian Chengmo didn't quite understand why Banxia was so keen on hoarding food, since they already had plenty to eat and drink.

However, seeing that none of the children in Yaoli Village were idle, and those who could help with chores were out looking for food, he figured that this was probably the case for all the children in the village, so he didn't interfere.

But carrying so much stuff back like today is absolutely not an option. The little girl is only nine years old; it's not worth it if she gets sick over such a small amount of food.

Banxia hadn't expected Lian Chengmo to say so much in a row, but every word he said was indeed for her sake, which immediately calmed her down.

However, the old-fashioned girl always interfered in everything, and although it was for her own good, she really couldn't explain it to her.

The reason she didn't take her younger brothers out was obviously because her supernatural abilities couldn't be used as human beings. The reason she brought back so many things was because the plants she had nurtured were very precious, so of course she had to bring them back.

"Banxia, ​​I'm not trying to scold you. I just... never mind, let's go back first. I've made dinner. You've been out working for so long, you must be hungry." Lian Chengmo looked at the girl who was bowing her head and not speaking, wanting to explain, but not knowing where to begin.

I had no choice but to take the little girl back to rest under the pretext of having a meal. She looked travel-worn and must be very tired.

A person who has never been in a relationship is unaware that the emotion filling his heart right now is a feeling called heartache.

Sure enough, Banxia's emotions finally calmed down when she heard that she could eat as soon as she got back. She looked up and asked with a smile.

"Lian Chengmo, you're amazing! Everyone else is still setting up camp and you've already cooked. What did you cook? I haven't had your cooking in ages."

In just a few minutes, Banxia returned to her previous self, as if the two of them had never argued.

"I stewed a pheasant with the taro and yam you found. Ayu said you also saved some eggs, so you can fry some eggs when you get back. But I'm not very good at making steamed eggs. If you want some, I'll steam one for you later."

Lian Chengmo looked at the little girl's smiling face and couldn't help but smile as well.

The two walked side by side past their temporary residence. People passing by greeted them with smiles, and some even craned their necks to look at Lian Chengmo's basket full of wild vegetables.

Those families who had eaten Banxia's wild vegetables for several days, for some reason, always felt that the wild vegetables dug by Banxia were tastier than those dug by their own families.

Even if it's the same kind of wild vegetable, the one that Banxia found is the tastiest. However, not every family has the time to find wild vegetables. In the end, everyone can only attribute it to Banxia, ​​who spent a lot of time, so that she could dig up the freshest and most tender wild vegetables.

After returning, Lian Chengmo put down his basket, and Ayu and Changshan took the initiative to help clean the wild vegetables, dividing them into small portions.

Lian Chengmo was initially pleased with his two younger brothers' actions, but then he felt something was amiss, so he asked a question.

The two younger brothers didn't answer directly when asked, but looked at Banxia instead. Banxia was always in charge of the food at home, so they didn't know what to say when their older brother Mo suddenly asked.

“I asked them to share some with the villagers, after all, they helped us make mud bricks. Although you gave us grain as payment, I also wanted to do my part.”

"This wild vegetable has the effect of replenishing qi and blood. Everyone has already suffered from physical exhaustion due to the long journey, and now they are doing heavy work every day, so it is good to replenish their bodies."

Banxia explained as she cracked the eggs.

Lian Chengmo nodded after listening. No wonder he saw the little girl digging up the same kind of wild vegetables. Such a big basket full of the same kind of vegetables. She must be tired of eating them.

So that's how it works! The young lady's thinking is very good; it's time for everyone to nourish their bodies.

Thinking this through, Lian Chengmo wondered if he should bring Doctor Li and his family over first, since everyone here was doing heavy work and if something happened to them, they would be in trouble without a doctor.

As for the Murong master and his apprentice, well, Lian Chengmo felt that it was already quite good that they were able to stay under the other party's protection, and they should not disturb them again unless absolutely necessary.

As for the camp there, everyone just waited for the raft to come back and pick them up every day. When they had free time, they would dig up some wild vegetables to dry or catch some fish to dry and store.

The hunting party had long since disbanded, and no one was hunting anymore, so naturally no one would get injured. They were just waiting patiently by the river every day, so they probably didn't need a doctor anymore.

Having made a silent decision, Lian Chengmo focused on stewing the chicken. While the rice was cooking, Banxia served the rice, steamed an egg custard, and then stir-fried some wild vegetables with eggs.

The children had given away the wild vegetables, and the pheasant was stewed until tender. The six children gathered together again for a meal.

Listening to the children say that the feast was delicious, Lian Chengmo smiled but said nothing, only feeling that the little girl's innovative word was indeed appropriate to describe the current situation.

These days, we can't eat meat every day. With so many delicious dishes laid out together, isn't that a feast?

However, after lunch, Banxia was in a dilemma because Lian Chengmo didn't go to Yao Daniu to discuss matters, but instead wanted to go with her to dig for wild vegetables.

Has this guy discovered something's wrong?

"Don't you need to discuss the land reclamation and house building with Brother Da Niu?" Banxia tried to find an excuse.

"Things were already arranged; they just need to follow the plan," Lian Chengmo replied earnestly, unaware of the other party's thoughts.

"Oh, okay? Then why don't we bring your younger siblings along? You've finally come back, and they haven't had a proper chance to spend time with you in a long time."

"Anyway, I've already dug up a lot of wild vegetables today, so let's just treat it as a trip," Banxia reluctantly suggested.

The old-fashioned girl was the hardest to fool. Since she couldn't refuse directly, she had to resort to delaying tactics.

I've used up all my superpowers and only recovered a little, enough to plant a few scattered plants at most. I'll find a way to get him away, plant a few plants for him to dig up, and make sure he doesn't get suspicious because he can't find any wild vegetables.
