Xiaohong responded, carrying the bucket and following the person fetching water.
Gu Qinglei finished cooking the stove, and Uncle Ma looked for Gu Fei, "What about the rabbit meat?"
Gu Fei shook his head, "Uncle Ma, I'm afraid I can't eat it today. Look around."
Uncle Ma knew that it was all around him without looking . Disaster victim, he slapped his head, "Look at me, I'm so greedy that I forget everything. I'll eat it another day."
Mrs. Chen directed Lian'er to cook a pot of porridge, put some dried vegetables in it, and distributed steamed buns to everyone.
While eating, Xiaohong's voice came from Qian's side, "Auntie, you forgot to give me the steamed buns."
Qian said with a straight face, "What steamed buns? None!"
"My family is running out of food. I can't afford it ." You, please find another family, I have supported you for so long, I am worthy of you."
When everyone heard this, they understood that Qian was reluctant to take the three hundred coins from the city.
Xiaohong bit her lip and glanced towards Gu Fei's house. Everyone in the Gu family quickly lowered their heads and looked at the sky to avoid accidentally meeting their eyes.
Xiaohong lowered her head, then raised it after a long while, and looked at Qian in pleading, "Auntie, I don't want to eat the steamed buns, so I'll sleep one night before leaving. It's cold at night, and I don't have any bedding."
Qian Seeing the girl begging softly, she softened her heart for a moment, "Okay, you can sleep one night, and don't follow us tomorrow."
After dinner, everyone discussed whether to pay tomorrow.
Gu Zhang didn't say anything. He was thinking about how his family would have lived if Xiao Fei hadn't come home.
The village chief sighed, "Just hand it over, there's nothing we can do about it."
Mr. Zhang's family is quite wealthy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford a carriage. The cheapest horse costs about thirty taels of silver.
He sighed and said nothing. Just hand it over. What else can you do if you don't hand it over?
Although my eldest uncle's house is in the mountains, he and his two sons are good hunters, and he can also make leather tanners. Over the course of a year, he can save at least ten taels of silver.
It's just that his family is used to saving and is reluctant to eat fine grains. He still has a lot of money in hand.
Gu Zhong still had his mother's pension money in his hand, twenty taels a year, and he had saved one or twenty taels over the years.
The only one who really has no money is Gu Rong. He only has a few coins in his hand, which is really not enough.
He grabbed his hair and was about to speak when Gu Zhang touched him and Gu Rong became silent.
Shan Zi's mother didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. There were only two people in her family anyway, so they couldn't afford this little money.
Seeing that no one said they would not go into the city, Uncle Ma said: "Everyone, please rest early. We will go into the city tomorrow and buy everything we need to buy, especially food and water. We must prepare enough food and water. We will meet at the east city gate at noon." Let 's go."
Everyone stopped.
When Gu Fei got up early in the morning and was getting dressed, she suddenly heard Qian's scream, "Where's my millet? Where did most of my bag of millet go?"
Everyone panicked when they heard this and hurriedly checked their own food. Fortunately, everything was there. exist.
Gu Zhong said impatiently: "Look again, you are stuffing that little food here and there all day long. Who knows where you put it."
Qian frantically rummaged through everything in the car and sat down on the ground. , "No, it's really gone."
She suddenly got up, "Who were the vigilantes yesterday? What were you doing on guard, and you didn't see anyone stealing my things?"
The eldest uncle stood up and frowned, "I I stayed with Dalang for the first half of the night and didn't see anyone approaching the car.
"Your man stayed for the second half of the night. Ask him!"
