Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

When Lu Qingqing came to Ruiniang's yard, she saw that although the yard was simple but neat, she knew that Ruiniang was also a diligent girl.

"Sister, have you always lived on your own?"

Biyun looked at everything in front of him, his eyes turned slightly red, and he asked softly.

Ruiniang smiled bitterly and said that her mother-in-law fell ill and died, and she has been living by herself since then.

It’s just that grandma and aunt often come to enjoy the autumn breeze.

After hearing this, Biyun clasped her hands tightly, with a trace of resentment in her eyes. She slowly walked forward, took her sister's hand and said:

"My sister will never leave you alone in the future. Are you willing to go with her?"

Ruiniang looked at Biyun with a hint of expectation in her eyes and nodded suddenly.

Biyun then walked up to Lu Qingqing and knelt down.

"Biyun begs the master to allow the slave to take his sister with him."

Lu Qingqing smiled helplessly and reached out to support her, saying softly that she had no objection to this matter and that Biyun could make the decision on her own regarding how to arrange Ruiniang.

Biyun looked at Ruiniang's red lips and asked her seriously: "Sister Ruiniang will serve the master for the rest of her life. You..."

Ruiniang didn't know what her sister meant at this time. She smiled at her and then knelt down in front of Lu Qingqing.

"Please take me in, princess. I am willing to serve the princess with my sister. If I don't know how, I will learn from my sister."

Ruiniang said nervously, as if she was afraid that Lu Qingqing would not agree.

Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen looked at each other, then looked at Biyun aside, and said in a deep voice: "Biyun, since Ruiniang is willing to be the master, I will agree to come down. This will save you sisters from the pain of being separated since childhood. Others I’ll leave the matter to you until we get back to Dayuan.”

"Yes, slave, thank you, master, for making it possible."

Biyun leaned forward to salute and looked happily at her sister beside her. Immediately he called Ruiniang to welcome the master into the house.

"Sister, please accompany the master first, and I will boil the water."

As he spoke, the thin figure ran towards the kitchen on the west side of the courtyard.

Biyun accompanied the master to the house. At this time, it was a simple two-thatched house with a Tukang in the house. It was clean. There was a simple table and chair, but the legs were missing. Ruiniang had taken care of it. It was clean, and a straw mat had been polished.

The two dusty and patched quilts at the edge of the kang seemed to be all the family's possessions.

Lu Anping had already arrived at Mr. Lu's carriage and was discussing with him about staying overnight in the village.

"Grandpa, we can only stay in the village ahead today, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wild."

Mr. Lu nodded and said with a serious face that it was indeed inappropriate for this car of old and weak people to sleep in the wild. Since he was going to stay in the village to stay overnight, he told his grandson not to forget to give some money to the people.

"Grandpa, don't worry. My grandson knows. And coincidentally, the girl Qingqing saved in the village is Biyun's biological sister."

Mrs. Lu was surprised by what a coincidence. That Biyun girl turned out to be from Qingyun.

Lu Anping told his grandparents what he knew. After hearing this, the two elders sighed. They didn't expect the child's life to be so rough.

"Qingqing did the right thing, she has the courage of me, Lu Chengtian."

Mrs. Lu glanced at him angrily, and Mr. Lu immediately changed his words and said, "Ahem... Qingqing will follow Peilan in this discussion."

At this time, Lu Anping outside heard the conversation between his grandparents and his grandparents and couldn't help but chuckle.

He and Cheng Yu rode towards the front of the team.

Soon the motorcade arrived in the village. Lu Anping asked the children playing in the village, gave him a tael of silver, and asked him to lead the way to Rui's mother's house.

Not to mention how envious the children around him were, he had a couple of silver coins on the side of the road.

At this moment, Village Chief Wu also noticed the motorcade arriving in the village. He was standing in the yard observing the situation outside. The woman in the house ran out and asked him.

"The boss Ma Ke has been caught. That horse should be worth a lot of money. By then, we will even have enough money for the second boy's wedding."

She was so focused on talking there that she didn't notice her man's dark expression at all.

When he got excited, he stepped forward and tugged on the man's sleeve.

"And we need to quickly let that little bitch Ruiniang in to celebrate our son."

"Fuck you, don't mention this matter again. That Mrs. Wang almost killed me."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kang and sat down.

The woman didn't know what happened today, but she was still mumbling. Finally, she got tired of the man's nagging and threw the earthen porcelain bowl on the table.

The woman was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah...why are you crazy?"

Only then did Village Chief Wu tell the woman everything that happened today.

Seeing the same frightened expression on the woman's face, Village Chief Wu snorted coldly and stopped talking. He had finally escaped a disaster today. If the princess really pursues the case, his life will be at stake.

At this time, Lu Anping was led to Ruiniang's house by the little boy. Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen heard the neighing of the horses outside and walked out of the house one after another.

"Brother, you are here."

Several carriages stopped, and Biyun happened to bring Ruiniang to greet the masters.

The two of them had just tidied up the yard of Aunt Qi's house, and just now several of the masters had arrived.

Mr. Lu, his wife and Princess Changning got out of the car one after another, and Sister Biyun stepped forward and bowed.

"Mom and grandmother, I'm staying at Aunt Xu's house today."

With that said, he led Princess Changning and her party to Aunt Xu's three thatched houses.

After arriving at the house, Aunt Xu and her family were busy boiling water and cooking food for everyone.

Biyun Ziyao and Ruiniang also started to help cook.

At this moment, the three wet nurses had already started feeding the children. Lu Qingqing looked at the three children with glowing faces and felt much relieved, thinking about bringing the children and the wet nurses into the space later.

"Mother, I will ask Biyun and the others to prepare hot water first, let Biyun help you freshen up, and send you and the children to the space to rest later."

Chang Ning smiled slightly and held Nanny Li's hand to sit by the earthen kang. She was still very curious about everything in ordinary people's homes. Looking at the simple but neat house in front of her, she also lamented the people's hard-working lives despite their poverty.

"Okay, mother, you don't have to worry. Go and see your grandmother and the others. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the long journey."

Lu Qingqing felt blessed, smiled and looked at Chu Haochen beside her, and the two exited the room.

Finally, he ordered Ziyao to send some fruits into the princess's room.

Lu Qingqing walked towards the house of her grandmother and mother at this time, and saw her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting on the earthen bed chatting about life in the countryside.

Mrs. Liu lamented that she had not slept on this earthen kang for a long time. She touched the kang mat on it and told Mrs. Lu about the events in Shili Village.

"Grandma, you must be tired from traveling all the way. I will ask Ziyao to bring some hot water later."
