Chapter 12 Drink until you have enough water policy
Ke'er couldn't lift ten pounds of water at all, and Xia Qiyue helped carry it, but after listening to her mother's words, she didn't dare at all.
He looked at her with blinking eyes, but refused to move over to drink water.
Xia Qiyue was helpless. She was worried about the lack of water. A mouthful of water was worth a lot of money and she had to drink it several times. She was so cold-hearted and let her drink casually. Who would dare?
Similarly, the other three were in the same situation, and they all looked at Xia Qiyue with confused eyes.
"Although there are many of us, we are all vulnerable groups. We are either young or weak. Today, we got these ten kilograms of water in front of everyone. If you feel sorry for yourself and don't drink it, you may not know who will get an advantage when the time comes.
It is better to drink enough at once to regain some strength. It is impossible to cook porridge at noon. There is not enough time. After we drink enough, the remaining water can be used to stew rice porridge at night. "
What she said was not just fabricated. Not to mention other people, even the people in Lao An's family would all be thinking about their water.
Ten kilograms is more than all the belongings of Lao An's family. How could Liu Mei and Ge Mingyu not care about it? Then the troubles will continue.
After drinking and eating all ten kilograms of water, they will only have less than two kilograms of water in total, making it easy to protect them.
As for the five kilograms of fine grains, she had already put them into the space under the cover of the backpack.
After hearing Xia Qiyue's analysis that the two little ones were nothing, Xia Qiyue and Xia Xinghe came to their senses. They really didn't have the ability to keep the water. It would be better to drink it now that the water was available.
So, with the unanimous approval of the three elders, An Qingke was the first to drink.
There was not much food in her stomach, but Xia Qiyue did not dare to let her drink too much after being thirsty for so long and only having a little water every day.
As a result, everyone drank until they were satisfied and no longer felt thirsty, and then only drank one-third of the water.
But those who drank enough water had happy smiles on their faces.
His face was visibly rosy.
Next, Xia Qiyue asked the four people to sit down and started his family meeting.
She has a golden finger and doesn’t want to hide in front of her family. It’s also because she has the memory of the original owner and knows that her younger siblings are good, and they are also good to her. When the three siblings are at home, they stick together and don’t care about each other.
secret person.
Therefore, she had to vaguely tell them about her magical power and let them keep it a secret for her without having to ask questions. This would save her a lot of worries on the way to escape.
"As the head of the family, I will hold a meeting for you today!" Xia Qiyue said seriously.
Let's get off first. Although we haven't eaten the rations yet, we feel very refreshed after drinking enough water. The four people who were in high spirits all nodded solemnly.
"The first one is to absolutely obey the instructions of the parents. You can't ask questions. Just do whatever I tell you! Can you do it?"
Xia Qiyue had a serious look on her face, which made Ke'er and Xuan'er feel frightened. They were a little afraid of such a mother, but when Xia Qiyue looked over, she nodded heavily.
"Mother, Ke'er will listen to mother and be good!"
The little guy's words led several others to follow suit.
Xia Qiyue then got to the point, and took out three large white steamed buns bought in the morning directly from the basket. When everyone looked at them blankly, he divided half of them into each person's hands and put them in everyone's hands.
The steamed buns produced in this space are extremely large, half as big as the steamed buns commonly sold in this time and space.
So she didn't worry about whether they would have enough to eat. Even she herself was only able to have enough to eat.
"Sister...this..." Xia Jiuyue still couldn't believe that the slightly warm white steamed bun in her hand actually existed.
She stuttered and wanted to ask something, but when she saw her sister's face, she suddenly remembered the family rules her sister had just mentioned. She was absolutely obedient and couldn't ask questions. She shut up uneasily, but she still didn't dare to eat.
"Remember, no matter what I bring out for you in the future, you just have to eat it quickly! Don't ask and don't tell anyone! This is the only family rule in our family! Eat it quickly! If someone comes later and sees it,
Oh no!"
Xia Qiyue emphasized the family rules again, and then took the lead and took a bite of the steamed bun.
Each of the three steamed buns had half and half left, but Xia Qiyue didn't take it back, just held it, "Let's eat and drink enough today, whoever is not full can eat the remaining half of the steamed buns in my hand!"
Now it's better. The person who was already so hungry had no expectations anymore. Xia Xinghe was the first to finish the big steamed buns with rich wheat flavor. As the saying goes, a half-grown man will be poor if he eats it.
.
Seeing that he was not full, Xia Qiyue gave him the remaining half.
In the somewhat cool and dark cave, the five people had their first full meal in the past two years.
The steamed buns were not greasy, so it didn't matter if they were full. In addition, Xia Qiyue gave everyone a full drink of water after eating, so their stomachs felt full.
Originally it was all morbid weakness caused by hunger, but now I feel energetic after eating a full meal. Except for the fact that my face still has the unhealthy look and sallow skin, my strength has been restored.
However, out of ten kilograms of water, only four kilograms were left.
Although she had a full meal, her complexion was not easy to recover, so under Li Zheng's call, Xia Qiyue took her younger brother, sister and a pair of children out to go on the road. What Aunt Wang saw was still the same as before, with a sallow complexion, thin skin and a weak body.
.
But my lips are not dry anymore.
She knew immediately that with ten pounds of water, the children must be able to drink enough at once.
The afternoon sun was still dazzling and scorching, making the already thirsty people's mouths chapped.
Xia Qiyue still carried two children on her back, but after bowing, her younger siblings were separated.
On the way, Mrs. An looked back from time to time, looking at Xia Jiuyue and Xia Xinghe with calculating eyes, and her face became even more ugly.
If it hadn't been for that cheap hoof's bad deeds, Xia Qiyue might have gotten all the fine grain in his hands.
This made her so angry that she didn't even share the rations with Liu Mei at noon, which caused quite a fuss.
Also furious was Liu Mei herself. She was angry with Xia Qiyue, angry with her for not separating out the finer grains, angry with her for not taking her seriously, angry with her for embarrassing her in front of so many people and not having a meal at noon.
Originally, she had to eat only one meal to survive, but now that she had missed one meal, she would be unable to walk, and she had to carry so much luggage.
But she couldn't make a fuss. If she made a fuss at noon, she would miss a meal. If she made a fuss again, Lao An's family might leave her behind.
Her parents' family is not in the village, and even if they are there, she can't go back. Her parents are so patriarchal, so she won't be able to get any benefits if she goes back, and she might even end up starving to death.
Now I can only walk as fast as I can so that I can have something to eat in the evening.
She only remembered complaining, without even looking at how much her daughter walking next to her was carrying.
In Lao An's family, it is a traditional virtue to favor sons over daughters.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy for a girl to survive for a breath, not to mention that her mother also favors boys over girls. God knows how An Qingyan survived under Liu Mei.
