Chapter 9 What to Eat for Noon
After crossing the small bridge and walking a few hundred meters, I came to a lonely and dilapidated farmyard at the foot of the mountain.
There is a small yard surrounded by thin bamboos of different lengths, a bamboo forest behind, two loess-built houses covered with a thick layer of thatch in the middle, and a shed built by several bamboos next to it. The simple hearth on the mound should be the kitchen at home.
Qi Qingxi looked around, and there were no other people around except that yard.
"You guys live here?"
"Ah."
Qi Yunming stepped forward and opened the gate of the bamboo fence courtyard to signal them to enter.
"It's already noon, are you all hungry? I'll cook for you."
After speaking, she walked to the kitchen built by a few bamboos, and looked around, but there was nothing but a stove.
That's right, in such a kitchen with air leaks everywhere, just put the food like this, not to mention the thieves, even the wild things in the mountains can be wiped out for you.
Probably put it in the house, she looked at Qi Yunming.
Qi Yunming looked embarrassed by her. Since his father passed away, the family had no source of income. Later, his mother was seriously ill and sold the original farm and house in order to treat her illness. She moved here, and all the things that the family could pawn were all gone The pawn went out, but A Niang still couldn't survive in the end.
After that, the brothers and sisters could only go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables and game, cut some firewood and sold them for food.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, snakes, rats, rats and ants are active on the mountain. They don't dare to go too deep, and the things they find are only enough to feed their stomachs, so they haven't changed food for a long time, and there is nothing to eat at home now.
Qi Qingxi didn't understand anything after seeing it.
"Then is there any place to buy vegetables near here?" Qi Qingxi looked at Qi Yunhui.
"Yes, there is..." That is, they have no money.
Yes.
Qi Qingxi took out two coins: "Both of you, go and buy some meat and vegetables, and some rice, just enough for these few days."
The two brothers stood there motionless.
"what's wrong?"
"We can't take this money."
"That's right, big brother said that the poor don't get what they get."
Qi Qingxi thought it was funny, the little boy had a bit of backbone, but did he use the wrong words?
"You know what this sentence means, so just say it. I am your sister, so how can I give you money for nothing? Besides, I want to eat too."
"You really want to stay with us?"
"of course."
Qi Yunhui had an unbelievable expression on his face. The dilapidated house that Qi Ruyu wanted to leave by all means, would this lady in silk and satin in front of him be willing to stay?
Qi Qingxi looked at him with a smile and said, "Not only do I want to stay, but I also want to raise the three of you well."
Qi Yunming tightly clenched her hands hidden under her sleeves, she said she wanted to raise the three of them well?
Qi Qingxi handed the money to Qi Yunming, and pushed the two brothers out: "Hurry up, you are not hungry, Ah Nuanke and I are so hungry that our chests stick to our backs."
Qi Yunming was thinking about Qi Qingxi's words all the way.
This girl who looks like his aunt has gentle eyebrows and eyes when she smiles, and she is even more like his aunt.
For some reason, he felt that the girl he met for the first time was very kind, not only because she looked like A Niang, maybe this was the natural intimacy between flesh and blood that his father had said.
He had never had this kind of emotion towards Qi Qingqing.
So he selfishly wanted her to stay, even if she and Qi Qingqing only knew to lie at home all day and sleep after eating like before, he was still willing to search for something edible to support this elder sister.
Speaking of Qi Qingqing.
He always felt that the current Qi Qingqing was very different from the past. In the past, he was just playing tricks, but during this time he could always find that Qi Qingqing always looked at others with sinister eyes.
Not only that, the rogue who molested Qi Qingqing in the village a few days ago broke his leg the next day. He still remembered Qi Qingqing's sneer when he heard Yunhui talk about it. She is related.
Suddenly one day Qi Qingqing told them that she was not their sister, but their sister was Qi Qingxi, and within a few days she was picked up by a carriage.
It doesn't matter if you leave, Qi Qingqing has always been a heartless person.
Parents have always been guilty of what she accidentally lost when she was a child, so she depends on her for everything she wants, and eats fish and meat every year with new clothes and jewelry, and the lady of the landlord's house is not as comfortable as her.
Later, my father went to see my mother's illness, and asked her to temporarily use some jewelry to buy medicine for my mother, and then replenish her when he grew up and made money, but she was not willing.
He also called him a little bastard, and if he dared to tease her, he would be kicked out and let him beg for food.
Their days can hardly keep up with others begging for food.
He always thought that Qi Qingqing was just looking for an excuse to leave home, but he didn't expect that he really saw Qi Qingxi today.
And she unexpectedly saved the abducted Ah Nuan by such a coincidence.
Maybe it's my father and mother who are alive in the sky and are protecting their brothers and sisters.
It's a pity that he is only 12 years old now, and Yun Hui is only ten years old, and he doesn't know what to do if he goes to work, but now he has an older sister to support, no matter how hard it is, he has to work.
Qi Yunming glanced at the silly brother next to him, who was carrying the vegetables that Qi Qingxi just told him to buy.
"Vegetables, eggplants, tofu, and pork should be fat or lean, as well as rice and sugar..."
"There should be no sugar sellers in the village."
"Oh, and what pepper?"
"chili."
"Yes, brother, what is chili?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
"What should I do?"
"Some bought first."
"Oh."
After walking two steps, Qi Yunhui asked again: "Brother, with so much money, can we really buy all the food?"
He hasn't seen so much money for a long time, and he hasn't had a full meal for a long time.
"of course."
What a silly brother.
The two were talking, and they came to a small courtyard and knocked on the courtyard door.
"Grandma Liu, are you home?"
Grandma Liu's son used to be a student in Father's private school. Although he only studied for less than a year, Qi Yunming remembered that he respected Father every time he saw him.
Later, when the family encountered difficulties, Granny Liu and her daughter-in-law often sent some seasonal vegetables and fruits to their family. Their family was one of the few kind-hearted people in the village who were willing to take care of their parents after their death.
"Hey, I'm at home."
An old woman in her sixties came out of the house and opened the door.
"It's the Yunming brothers. Have you eaten yet? I happened to be cooking. Why didn't Ah Nuan come together?"
"Ah Nuan is at home, grandma, the two of us came to your house specially to buy some vegetables and cook for dinner."
Granny Liu immediately turned around and walked into the kitchen when she heard the words. When she came out again, she was holding a big basket full of vegetables.
"Is this enough to eat? If not enough, I'll get some more. Grandma's house doesn't have enough food."
Grandma Liu's son is a vegetable farmer. Except for the two acres of grain left in the family's field, all the other vegetables and fruits are grown, and the vegetables will be sold in the city every once in a while.
Qi Yunming knew that Grandma was going to give it to them for free again, but now that they have money in their hands, how can they take it for nothing.
"Thank you grandma, this time it was my sister who asked us to go out to buy vegetables, and told us that we must pay."
"Hey, Qingqing is back? I knew she couldn't be so unconscionable and leave her siblings alone to run away."
There is a small yard surrounded by thin bamboos of different lengths, a bamboo forest behind, two loess-built houses covered with a thick layer of thatch in the middle, and a shed built by several bamboos next to it. The simple hearth on the mound should be the kitchen at home.
