She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Just as Wu was about to enter the kitchen, she heard a noise, turned around, and saw Banxia coming out.

After saying all that, Ms. Wu became somewhat uneasy.

She was a little annoyed; she should have come later, or moved more gently.

"No need, Aunt Liu, I just woke up. I wasn't woken up by you. But what should we have for breakfast?" Banxia waved her hand and quickly explained to avoid Aunt Liu misunderstanding.

Banxia knew that ever since she saved her third grandfather's family, they had treated her and her siblings very well. After learning about Lian Chengmo's identity and status in the village, they treated her even better.

Speaking of this, Banxia looked at Wu Shi again. Lian Chengmo had said that he would send someone back to the valley to ask her third grandfather. Later, her eldest uncle directly wrote a letter to confirm her identity, so she hadn't asked about it. But she figured her third grandfather knew about her background.

I wonder if my third grandfather has told the family about this, because Banxia always felt that Wu Shi's attitude towards her was even more respectful this time she came back.

“Oh, there are many children in the family, so we’ll eat something light in the morning. I’m planning to cook some vegetable porridge and steam some egg custard. Banxia, ​​if there’s anything you’d like to eat, you can tell me, and your aunt will make it for you.” Wu Shi quickly explained her plans.

For the past six months or so, she has been taking care of the children from the Qi and Lian families, so she knows their tastes very well.

Moreover, steamed egg custard is a very suitable food for children, and she makes it for them almost every other day.

"That's all then, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Liu." Banxia said directly without mentioning what she wanted to eat.

It would be inappropriate for Banxia to order food when someone kindly came to help make breakfast. Originally, she was already home, and Wu Shi didn't have to come over.

"Okay, then I'll boil some water for you to wash up." Madam Wu immediately nodded with a smile and turned to get busy.

Although it is only early autumn, it is still chilly in the mountains, so it is necessary to wash with warm water in the morning and evening, especially for women.

"No need, Aunt Liu, I'll just get some water and wash up." Banxia quickly stopped her.

“That won’t do. Besides, even if you don’t use Banxia, ​​the children will need it. I can light the fire and cook a pot of it quickly. It won’t take much effort,” Wu said immediately, and then she got to work quickly.

Before Banxia could say anything more, Wu had already poured a bucket of water into the pot and was preparing to light a fire with a flint.

Well, Banxia herself didn't mind, but the children really couldn't use cold water, so she didn't say anything more.

Once the water boiled by Wu had cooled down a bit, Banxia scooped up a ladle of water to wash herself without Wu having to do anything, and then began her daily morning exercise.

Hearing noises from next door, Banxia quickly called out to them, telling them to come over here to wash up, as there was hot water. Then she hurried into the room to check if Xiaoshuang'er had woken up.

Sure enough, the little guy was sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes, looking a bit drowsy and not fully awake yet.

When Xiao Shuang'er opened her eyes and saw clearly, Banxia was already sitting on the edge of the bed with her clothes and dressing her. This action directly prevented a crying fit.

Banxia carried Xiaoshuang'er to the yard and let her sit down. Then she went to check on her younger brothers. Changshan had already gotten up and was helping his brother put on his shoes.

"Sister, sister, I didn't cry today!" Juanbai immediately showed his two little tiger teeth, seeking praise, when he saw Banxia coming over.

"Our Juanbai is really great, he's grown up and is a big kid now. Changshan is also great, he takes good care of his younger brother. He truly deserves to be the eldest son and grandson of our Qi family." Banxia immediately praised him to save face, and at the end, she didn't forget to praise her second brother as well, treating everyone equally.

Sure enough, after Banxia finished speaking, the two brothers smiled, looking proud of themselves.

Banxia found it amusing to see the two brothers like this, so she watched as her second brother put on his shoes, then took each of them by the hand and led them into the yard.

In the courtyard, Lian Chengmo had already brought his younger brother Lian Chengyu over. Banxia asked why her senior brother hadn't come, and Lian Chengmo said that he was still sleeping and that it wouldn't be too late to wake him up when breakfast was ready.

"Senior Brother is really bad at everything and loves to play around. If Master finds out he dared to get so drunk, he'll definitely get a good beating," Banxia said, pouting.

"It's rare for Senior Brother to act like this, so please forgive him this time. Don't tell Master when you get back, or Senior Brother will nag you again," Lian Chengmo said helplessly.

He could actually understand his senior brother quite well. He had witnessed all his relatives die tragically before his eyes. Not only could he not take revenge, but he also had to rely on his uncle to help him evade the pursuit.

Being trapped in the mountains for many years without being able to get out, that kind of depression cannot be relieved by talking about it.

Now that he has avenged his great enemy, Mu Rongyi has become a bit too carefree.

However, while I understand, everyone was happy yesterday, and Lian Chengmo was also there to watch over them. Otherwise, he would definitely have reminded his senior brother not to drink too much, let alone get drunk.

Of course, Mu Rongyi wasn't stupid. That's why he let himself get completely drunk. He knew his junior brothers and sisters wouldn't abandon him.

Isn't the bond between fellow students built little by little through these small things?

"I know, don't worry, I'm not a tattletale," Banxia said, sticking out her tongue.

She was just saying it casually; she wouldn't actually go and complain.

Oh, I almost forgot, this old-fashioned girl is also a butler; whatever she says casually, people will take it seriously.

After the two of them finished taking care of the children and washing up, Wu's breakfast was ready. Lian Chengmo went next door to wake Mu Rongyi up, and everyone ate breakfast together.

Today, a rare opportunity for the family to reunite, the children didn't want to practice martial arts or do their homework, so they pestered their older siblings to take them to play.

Banxia thought for a moment and suggested that they invite the village children to go to the river to play together. She would go hunting and catch some fish to have a barbecue, which would be like taking the children on a spring outing.

“Alright, but I have some things to discuss with the village chief. Senior Brother, you and Banxia take them there first, I'll be right back.” Lian Chengmo nodded and said.

"Alright, you go ahead with your work. Don't worry about Ayu and Shuang'er, leave them to your senior brother." Mu Rongyi patted his chest and assured him.

"Yay, we can go play now!" Upon hearing this, Juanbai immediately grabbed her sister's hand and ran ahead.

The siblings followed closely behind Ayu and Changshan, with Mu Rongyi carrying Xiaoshuang'er and slowly slumping at the very back.

Lian Chengmo watched them head towards the village entrance, calling out to their friends and companions. He shook his head with a smile, then knocked on the door of the village chief's house across the street.

"Young master, what brings you here?" It was Lin Chun, the village chief's wife, who opened the door.

"Is the village chief home? I need to talk to him about something," Lian Chengmo stated his purpose directly.

"Yes, yes, young master, please come in quickly."

"Father, the young master has come to see you and has something to say." Lin Chun hurriedly let the man in, then shouted loudly towards the main hall.

The village chief's family also got up very early. They had just finished eating and the father and son were sitting in the main room, planning to go to work in the fields later.

So Lian Chengmo arrived at just the right time; any later and he would have had to go to the fields to look for him.

"Oh, it's young master. What brings you here so early?" Village Chief Yao immediately came out and asked.

His eldest son, Yao Dahe, followed behind him.

"Father, young master, you two chat, I'm going to the fields." Yao Dahe rolled up his sleeves and prepared to grab his tools and leave, so as not to disturb their conversation.

“No rush, Brother Yao, listen to this too. This matter concerns the entire Yao Li Village,” Lian Chengmo said, pulling Yao Dahe aside.
