Self-clothing and adequate food and clothing through crossing

Feeling the thick and close-fitting fur clothes on her body, wearing comfortable and clean new shoes and socks on her feet, she clenched her hands tightly together, carefully took off the gloves, first carefully smoothed and folded them, and then put them into her close-fitting pockets.A few children stood in a row, their dark eyes wide open, their lips were asleep and they just watched without speaking. After a while, water appeared in their eyes, and they whispered, "Thank you."

"No thanks, we are members of a tribe, we should take care of each other, eat, eat more." Qiudong touched the child's head distressedly, and said with a gentle smile.

"Let's eat, everyone is so lively together, everyone is eating." Jin Xia and Shang Chen picked up chopsticks and bowls to pick up vegetables for a few children. They were tons of fragrant meat and lotus root, which tasted very good .

Six adults and three children gathered together and did a lot.The children were eating a delicious broth that was different from their own. They almost thought it was a dream. The usual broth at home was not so delicious.Because I was reluctant to put so much meat and bones, most of them were wild vegetables, and there were only a few pieces of meat or bones at most. Just now, my brothers filled a big bowl for themselves, all of which were stewed soft meat, and there were few lotus roots. , steaming, fragrant.

Even if the children don't say anything, Shang Chen and the others know that their family is usually willing to eat such extravagant stewed meat, at most a little bit of meat with lotus root or mushrooms, put a lot of water, put it on the fire and simmer for a while, it will be fine. It's already an extra meal.Just now this summer they wanted to add more meat and less lotus root, but Shang Chen stopped them both.Because people who eat meals with little oil and water for a long time, once the oil and water suddenly increase sharply, their stomachs cannot accept it after eating, and it is very likely to cause them to have diarrhea in the end.So they had to recuperate slowly, and Shang Chen also felt distressed, and suggested that they could share the remaining meat and bones with them and take them back to stew slowly.

"Ah? Can we still have this? It's a good thing you said it, otherwise we would have done something bad, no wonder you want to add a little more lotus root, hey, this lotus root is also delicious when stewed together, especially when stewed with bacon and bones It tastes even better when it comes out." Qiudong picked up a piece of lotus root and put it in his mouth to bite, um, it's pink, not bad, and the lotus root is full.

"The lotus root is good. Every family has a lot of it. Let's dig a little more next year. Oh, do you want to plant this lotus root? We dug a lot this year, will it disappear next year?" Leng, asked worriedly.

"Oh, we really didn't think about this. Other foods have to be planted. There is no reason why we don't need to plant lotus roots?" This summer's words attracted the attention of several orcs. Lotus roots are a good thing. Don't eat them up because you forgot to plant them. Well, that would be bad.

"Lotus roots grow very well, and lotus seeds can reproduce even if they fall into the water. Under normal circumstances, there is no need for additional planting. But if we dig lotus roots in such a large area and density for several years, the number of lotus roots will gradually decrease. , but it is not easy to become extinct. As long as we pay attention to keeping some lotus root for planting every year, there will be no problems. Moreover, planting lotus root is also simple. Just find a paddy field with deep silt and bury the whole branch of lotus root in the silt. It's ok." In the previous life, many people had planted lotus seeds for sale, and Shang Chen's family also planted two mu of lotus seeds.Not this kind of wild lotus seeds.It is a lotus seed with a large lotus pod, so I know the cultivation of lotus root.

"Well, that's good. You have to dig a lot of lotus roots to get home. Let's find some good land next year and use them to grow lotus roots. You don't have to be cautious if you like to eat them. Oh, can you make stewed lotus roots? The stewed lotus root from last time is a good choice, it’s easy to make and extremely convenient to store, and it won’t go bad if you put it in the basement.” Qiu Hao, Tuo Lei, and Long Che all like to eat lotus root, and even caught up with the pair Meat preferences, you must know that orcs are carnivorous animals, not vegetarians for men.In the past wild vegetables, orcs basically rarely moved their mouths. Now with Shang Chen's cooking skills and the increase of condiments, they began to like vegetables, but their love for meat is still unabated. Now they are so partial to lotus root , it's a bit surprising.

"It's a good idea. It's just a few paddy fields. You can eat whatever you want. There are so many people in the tribe. Every family will dig more in the future. Maybe there will be less one day. We can feel at ease planting a few pieces of land ourselves." .”

"It's okay, you can still dig in rivers or lakes at ordinary times, and there are still a lot of wild lotus roots, but we have to remind the patriarch to explain the matter of saving seeds." Long Che and the others discussed the matter while eating. , the movements in his mouth are not slow at all, he picks up a piece of meat or lotus root and puts it in his partner's bowl from time to time. He is also very careful in taking care of the children. Most of the things he picks up are meat, and occasionally there are slices of lotus root. Torre is also careful. Ask them what they like to eat, and pick it up yourself. You are welcome, there is still in the pot.

A few children sat on the stools and buried their heads in eating meat or lotus root. The soup in the bowl did not fall, but the dishes in the hot pot did not eat much. Eat what you like, it's okay.The most important thing is that these children know that their brothers' family is not short of meat, and they are sincerely kind to themselves, so they can't help but want to stay so unscrupulously in front of them, they always feel that they are very close, even Long Che Brother is not afraid.

Therefore, it shouldn’t matter if you eat it once by yourself, just eat this meal, and you will definitely not eat it every day. This stewed lotus root with bacon is really delicious. I can’t help it. It’s a bit embarrassing. If it’s someone else, then I will never be so casual, this is the common thought of the three children.

The six adults saw all of this, feeling sad for a while, what a good child, but the tribe can't feed them and clothe them warmly, and they are so strong and sensible when they are facing the threat of death at such a young age.

"When you go back, you must remember to boil some water to drink. You can't drink cold water, otherwise you will have a stomachache. After eating, my brother will send you back. Don't blow cold wind, you must remember." Shang Chen was worried. I told the children to drink boiled water after returning home. If they were weak children who ate too much greasy food, if they drank cold water immediately, they would most likely have stomach problems. Although the meat had been reduced, the smoked There is still a lot of fat on the meat, and it is all very good meat, it must be greasy, tell them to be prepared.

"Well, remember, brother, don't worry, we won't drink cold water." The children obediently assured that what brother Shang Chen said was good for his body, and he couldn't forget it at all.

At the end of the meal, the dishes in the hot pot were also wiped out, and there were not many dishes left. They were placed in three pots, and each pot had a shallow pot, which was probably enough for these children to eat.The three children carried the basin, and Long Che and the others held the remaining meat and bones, as well as clothes, shoes and socks, hugged the children, and sent them back.

When they got home, the vegetables in the basin were still hot. As soon as Baokang and the others landed on the ground, they couldn’t wait to carry the vegetables in the basin and rush towards their father or father. Their dark eyes were full of joy and anticipation, telling They said, "Daddy, my brother and the others asked me to bring it back. Eat it while it's hot. Not only that, Brother Torre also sent me uncooked meat and bones back."

Torre walked to Baokang's father's bed, put the meat and bones in his hand on the table beside him, bent down and asked gently: "Uncle, are you in better health this year than in previous years? Is the bed cold?"

"Thank you Torre, my health has improved a little this year compared to previous years. You have replaced the wooden boards for this bed with straw and wheat straw for the bottom, and later sent several leather sheets to spread on it. Now it's a little It’s not cold anymore, and sleeping on it is much more comfortable, but it’s not comparable to a stone bed.” Baokang’s father saw Torre coming, and immediately wanted to sit up on his back, although his face was still sallow, emaciated, and his body was flawless. A little work, but definitely better than usual this time of year.

"Uncle, you'll be fine if you fall asleep, it's cold, oops, look at me, I forgot, you have to eat the dish that Baokang brought back while it's hot, I'll help you sit on the bed and eat it ” Torre came closer, and stretched out his hand to help Baokang’s father to sit on the head of the bed, leaning against the wall, and Baokang specially brought a thick straw mound and placed it behind his father.

"Hey, you have a heart. Every time I go home, my Baokang chatters non-stop. Although I have never gone out, your care and love for Baokang will always be in my heart. I thank Baokang's father. You guys, he can rest in peace after seeing all this." Baokang's father always wanted to thank these kind-hearted clansmen who took care of his children, but he never had the chance, and his body couldn't travel far.In fine weather, I can go outside and do some small work, but not for too long. I always have to take a break before continuing to work. This has been a change that has gradually improved this year, and it turned out to be worse.

I am ashamed of this child, ashamed of my partner, I am too cowardly and incompetent, and I am ashamed of the entire Flying Tiger Clan. I don’t know why that time, it seemed like I was crazy, and I unconsciously wanted to die.I don't know what I'm doing at all. If the people who passed by didn't save my life, poor Baokang would be a lonely child.Although living like this can't really help Baokang, and may even harm the child in some way, Baokang refuses to accept the adoption of his tribe anyway because of his own reasons.No matter who adopts Baokang, Baokang's life is better now than it is now, but on the other hand, if he really dies, Baokang will lose his only relative, which is very difficult for a child who is only three years old. What a cruel and sad thing.

Therefore, I have to live desperately, desperately want to take good care of my body, try my best to help Baokang, watch him grow up, watch him find a partner who loves me, and live in peace.At that time, I will have the face to meet my partner. I have let my partner down, and I have no right to ask for his forgiveness.He loved Baokang so much when he was alive, he held Baokang in his palm and cared for him, but after his death, he let his baby fall into such a desperate situation, and he didn't fulfill his wish.

When Daddy said these words, Baokang held onto Daddy's hand tightly, not letting go at all, and looked at Daddy without blinking, as if he was afraid that Daddy would disappear.
