After she had walked more than ten miles and made sure she could no longer see the people behind her, Old Mrs. Han called on everyone to walk slower and take a rest.
Seeing no one around, she explained in a low voice.
"Do you know why I have to leave?"
"Because it's going to rain!"
An Xing answered excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Han received another moderate slap on the back of his head.
An Xing pouted, feeling aggrieved and wanting to cry, "Grandma, why did you hit me again?!"
Obviously yesterday grandma said he was a precious grandson, but why has it changed today?
Mrs. Han laughed and scolded: "Why is it raining under such a strong sun? If it rained, why would we run so far to escape?"
An Xing scratched his head and thought for a while, it seemed to be the same.
But when Mrs. Han said this, he became even more curious.
"Grandma, why is that?"
Boss Han and the others also looked over curiously.
Mrs. Han didn't show off either.
"At that time, Ru Yatou and Lao Si said they were going to look for food in the forest, but I didn't think much about it."
"Who would have thought that two children would actually find sweet potatoes and potatoes!"
Mrs. Han glanced at the things in the basket from time to time, her eyes full of joy and satisfaction.
Everyone almost jumped in shock when they heard this.
Anjun Anxing's eyes shone, "Grandma, can we eat roasted sweet potatoes then?!"
"What?! Can we still find sweet potatoes and potatoes at this time?" Zhao Shuangtao couldn't help but be surprised.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yueru and Han Yanqing.
Lin Yueru didn't need to explain at all, Han Yanqing carried the three treasures to protect her in front of her.
"There is! My wife and I found it in the woods. If you don't believe me, open it and take a look!"
Zhao Shuangtao was also a tiger man. He stepped forward and untied the clothes in the basket, revealing the large sweet potatoes and potatoes inside, as well as the half bag of millet!
Zhao Shuangtao was so shocked that he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"It's true! Look, Mom, she's not that small!"
Mrs. Han had seen it a long time ago and nodded with a smile.
Even though everyone thought it was strange to find these things in the woods, they didn't have the time to think about it any more.
As long as there is a stutter, it doesn’t matter where it comes from!
Maybe, the fourth child and Ru Yatou are just blessed!
Boss Han couldn't help but lamented sadly, "If our food could grow so well somewhere, we wouldn't have to come here."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Zhao Shuangtao smiled and joked: "Hey, if we didn't come here, how would we be able to eat these sweet potatoes and potatoes? Let me tell you, our family is lucky!"
Liu Qiumei smiled so hard that her dimples were revealed.
"My fourth child and my fourth brother and sister are so lucky. What can it do to you?"
Zhao Shuangtao snorted deliberately, "You and I have to call me sister-in-law. Isn't it enough to get some luck?"
She took two quick steps and came to Lin Yueru's side, rubbed against her, then took Si Bao's hand and touched the young couple.
"Come on, girl, let's take advantage of your uncle and aunt's blessings, and wish your father to come back soon!"
She still had a smile on her face when she said this, which made people feel even more distressed for no reason.
Lin Yueru comforted and said: "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, third brother can't leave you and the child, and will definitely come back soon."
Zhao Shuangtao loved hearing these words the most, and she really beamed, "The fourth brother and sister are better!"
"I used to be the coolest looking person, but now I have a better mind and my words are more enjoyable to listen to!"
Mrs. Han smiled and said hello: "Hurry up and go, find a place to stay at night while it's dawn, and you can still have a hot meal!"
With more food, everyone in the old Han family breathed a sigh of relief and continued on their way faster.
The journey was smooth, and we found a cave in the evening.
There are many large and small caves in this area, many of which are already crowded with people fleeing with their families.
Mrs. Han looked around and finally chose the one next to her.
There is a small slope next to the cave, which is also convenient for pushing carts and wheelbarrows up.
It was quite spacious inside, so everyone picked up some hay here and there to lay a layer of it, and then put the bedding on it.
The place is not big, and there is no difference between men and women.
A man can sleep well if he is next to his woman, separated by a child.
As for the cars, food and belongings, they were absolutely not dared to be left outside. Boss Han pushed them inside and placed them beside him to guard them.
After settling down, Mrs. Han and Liu Qiumei started making porridge again.
Before she could drink the soup she made at noon, it was already cold now. Liu Qiumei peeled a sweet potato and put it in to warm it up before making a sweet sweet potato soup to drink.
There were a lot of people in the cave right now, and they didn't dare to be too blatant, so Mrs. Han secretly put two sweet potatoes at the bottom of the pot.
After the soup was cooked, I took out two roasted sweet potatoes and divided each person into a small piece.
There were so many people but so little food. Before I had even eaten two bites, only the skin was left on the sweet potato.
But even the skins were reluctant to throw away. Everyone picked up the clean ones and stuffed them into their stomachs.
Because it was Han Yanqing and Lin Yueru who found the thing, their share is naturally larger than that of others.
In this way, Han Yanqing would give another half of his own to Lin Yueru.
"Daughter-in-law, you are young, please eat more!"
An Jun and An Xing drooled greedily on the side, but they couldn't help but snicker, "The fourth uncle is so kind to my little aunt!"
Lin Yueru blushed and stuffed the sweet potato back into his hand, "Don't worry about me, just eat your fill first."
Han Yanqing curled his lips and wanted to say more.
Lin Yueru threatened him, "If you don't eat it, someone will come and rob it later!"
He was so frightened that he quickly divided the sweet potato into two halves, put half into his mouth, and the other half firmly into Lin Yueru's mouth!
Lin Yueru was unprepared and almost choked.
When she came to her senses, the thing was already in her mouth, so she had no choice but to glare at Han Yanqing.
This fool is really kind to people with all his heart and soul, and sooner or later he will be deceived until he loses his pants!
Han Yanqing scratched his head and giggled.
An Jun and An Xing were filled with envy. In the future, they would also marry a beautiful daughter-in-law like their little aunt and treat her so well!
Everyone finished eating a small piece of sweet potato, and everyone carefully licked the aftertaste on their hands. They didn't eat enough, but they were very satisfied.
By the time people from nearby caves smelled the fragrance and came to take a peek, the Han family had already started drinking rice soup.
The old woman didn't give up and got into the cave to get close to her, "Sister-in-law, where did you come from?"
"We all come from the north, a small village, I guess you haven't heard of it!"
Old Mrs. Han was wary, but her face looked very kind.
The old woman sighed and sat down on her own.
"I wonder what the situation is like where you are? Anyway, we are suffering from drought and no harvest! The whole family is so hungry that they have no choice but to send their children out to buy food!"
"It's all like this, it's all like this, we drink water every time, and we have to save even a grain of rice."
Old Mrs. Han also sighed and suffered miserably.
Seeing that pretending to be pitiful didn't work, the old woman's expression changed subtly.
She was really impatient, so she simply asked: "Sister-in-law, my house is in the cave next to yours. I just smelled the fragrant smell of roasted sweet potatoes. Do you still have sweet potatoes at home..."
