Yan Yu: "Mom, why are you so serious, praise my father."
"I smell sick..." Li Xuemei said weakly.
"Don't exaggerate, don't exaggerate! Mother, let's stay away quickly." Yan Yu turned over and propped herself up with both hands on the ground.
Pulling her mother away from the ox cart full of horse meat.
Li Xuemei took a deep breath for a long time before she recovered, looked at the sky, and asked, "No movement yet?"
Yan Yu knew she was asking about the platform.
Shaking his head, depressed.
"Father has earned so much meat, if the platform doesn't open, what will happen!"
Li Xuemei nodded and said, "Well, we don't have that much salt anymore."
"Your uncle said he didn't say what time he will be on the road tomorrow?"
Yan Yu replied: "It's 2 o'clock at Yinshi, which is 4:30. If it weren't for the many things today, everyone would be so tired, I'm afraid it will be earlier."
"Mother, here you are, eat when you're hungry." Yan Yu took out two eggs and handed them to Li Xuemei.
Li Xuemei smelled it, and it smelled like medicine.
Yan Yu chuckled and said, "I made the medicinal soup by the way, don't worry, dad cleaned it before putting it in, and kept it safe without chicken feces falling into the medicine."
Li Xuemei: …
Crack the eggshell calmly and peel it off slowly.
"Even if there is someone to drink, it's not me."
Yan Yu: It makes sense.
"What about your uncle?" Li Xuemei asked.
"Uncle took my elder brother to see the wounded. Uncle Song is always scary. Uncle Cui said that if there is no bamboo crossbow to get in the way, he would die with his elbow on his chin. Now it's just that his jaw fell off, which is already a misfortune. Fortunately."
"Grandpa An said that there is no water to get rid of the **** smell on the clothes. Sister Da Ya took the clothes changed by Dad and Uncle to deal with them. She just left not long ago, and it should take a while to come back."
After peeling the eggshell, Li Xuemei ate it in small bites.
Yan Yu waited for her to finish eating, and handed over the small bamboo tube that she carried with her.
Li Xuemei took two sips and stuffed the remaining egg to her daughter.
"I can't eat anymore, you can eat this."
Yan Yu shook her head like a rattle, and then stuffed it back.
"Mom, we ate it on the way, and we didn't call you when we saw you fell asleep. I ate sister fairy's dried snake meat." She lowered her voice.
There are not a few yuan in total, it is her family's bottom of the box, and it is not used easily.
She ate it for this special day today. She was afraid that it would not be 0 o'clock. Looking at the big troops, except for the vigil and the busy ones, they basically fell asleep, snoring loudly.
Everyone is exhausted today.
Li Xuemei said: "Go and sit for a while, I just woke up and I'm not sleepy, I'll wake you up soon."
Yan Yu thought for a while, but didn't force herself.
Even after eating the jerky snake meat, she was still a little sleepy. She had to go on the road so early tomorrow, so she didn't sleep for a while, fearing that her child's body would not be able to bear it.
…
Yan Er is still busy.
Took Sanbao for a walk outside, called grazing, but pulled Yuan to spit some water to wash his hair, face and hands.
It's too much trouble to draw arrows in the daytime...
After cleaning up and returning, everyone else fell into a deep sleep except his wife.
The couple sat not far from the fire, Yan Laoer wiped the iron arrows one by one with grass, and Li Xuemei looked at her daughter's notebook again.
There is their renegotiated roadmap on it.
"Are you sure there is water on this route?" Li Xuemei asked softly.
Yan's second son said in a low voice: "This route is for Old Yan to see. There will be deviations when walking. I have confirmed with Maomao Sanbao. These two places have water sources, which can avoid thieves. Being able to find water kills two birds with one stone.”
Li Xuemei nodded, was silent for a while, and said softly: "My daughter... killed someone today."
The fire light shone on her face, and the flickering light flashed into her eyes, which seemed to be particularly sad.
Yan Lao Er pretended to be relaxed and said: "Our family of three is neat and tidy, and we are all heroes of fighting violence for the people!"
Seeing that Li Xuemei didn't say anything for a while, Yan's second child sighed and said, "You don't know what old Yan said today..."
He told his wife about the difficulties in the world in this book.
Li Xuemei's expression changed following his words.
"...So, we should be thankful that Xiaoyu is not a real child. She is mature and adapts quickly." Yan's second son thinks his daughter is really wonderful.
Li Xuemei said in a daze: "This kind of environment really can't allow children to remain innocent. Now it seems that her playful boy scouts seem to have foreseen...natural disasters and man-made disasters. I didn't expect that we would come to such a world. "
"Daughter-in-law, if you want to open up, it's not a big deal. Let's not talk about it. When does our country not suffer from disasters, floods, typhoons, earthquakes... It's flooded, and it's drought. Before we came here, we wore masks for more than two years. What's the matter, we are united to overcome difficulties!
Difficulties cannot defeat us!
Push it down, step on it hard! "
Yan Lao Er waved his fist, as if there were two vertical characters in front of his eyes—difficult, intending to knock it down with fists and kicks, and then go up and stomp his feet to flatten it!
"Help compatriots who have left the embrace of the motherland, overcome difficulties, and overcome difficulties together..." Li Xuemei murmured: "Yes, that's what I said..."
"Not all countries are Xia countries!" In Li Xuemei's eyes, there are bits and pieces of light gathering and shining.
"We can stay for a few years, and Lao Yan will be a good official." Yan's second son has confidence in his elder brother.
Li Xuemei laughed suddenly, she looked at the much younger man.
I thought: This young look is more suitable for you.
"After the scholar, there is the Juren. Only after passing the Juren examination can he go to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination. If the Jinshi is selected or the same Jinshi will be awarded an official, the grade will not be too high. We must start from the bottom..."
She briefly talked about the general process.
"You also said that Lao Yan is a good official. This court seems to be poor. If you are not greedy as an official, it is difficult to save any family business by relying on salary alone.
Our daughter has been talking about hugging her thighs... lie flat... continue to make salted fish... it's too unrealistic, we just listen to it, don't take it to heart, we still have to work hard to make some money, enough to cope with various situations, with food in hand and heart Don't panic, stock up on more food.
In the past, I was thinking about it. I was worried that buying more and more things from the platform would arouse suspicion from others. However, compared with the unpredictability in the future, it is better to take these risks. "
Yan Laoer kept nodding, and shook his head at the end.
"No, no, no, I really can't buy any more. We can't fit in this car. There are too many things. There is enough food and meat. It is absolutely no problem to go to Guanzhou."
"Not now, I mean, when we stabilize in the future, we will stock up everything that should be on the shelves of the platform."
Li Xuemei seemed to have made up her mind, and said again: "Also...we have so much horse meat in our hands, if we trade it out, no one will notice the shortage except ourselves..."
