Chapter 10 Quail Eggs

Last night, Qin Qing learned that her parents were going to earn work points. After her repeated assurances, Qin Zhilin gave up the idea of ​​sending her to her uncle's house.

Old Mrs. Lu was already in her sixties. After discussing it, her two sons decided not to let her old bones suffer, so they let her stay at home and rest assured.

Qin Qing didn't want to have to look at other people's faces at her uncle's house, so she took the initiative to take care of the chores of cooking at home. Children in rural families have to take charge of the family early, and children who are too young can't earn work points, so they can only do these things at home.

Although Zhu Lihua did not take her daughter's words to heart.

Qin Qing still hid a lot of seasonings like a thief, ready to show off his cooking skills.

"Sister, are you up?" Shi Tou asked, sticking his head out and looking around.

"I'm coming." She hid the things anxiously, quickly put on her clothes and washed up, and then tied two braids with difficulty.

Seeing that his sister had dressed herself very neatly, Shi Tou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he really didn't know how to comb his hair.

There were still two thin sweet potatoes left in the porcelain bowl on the table. She was tired of eating the same thing every day, so she took one just to pretend and stuffed the rest into Shitou's hand.

Shitou couldn't resist his sister, so he happily lowered his head and finished the sweet potato in a few bites. His sister was really adorable.

Unlike Sister Tongtong, who only fights with them for food!

…

Qin Qing didn't know that she was labeled a good sister because of a sweet potato. At this moment, she was looking around. When she was sure that there was no one around, she carefully piled the quail eggs hidden in her pocket on the dry grass.

After a moment's hesitation, he called out in surprise, "Brother!"

Shitou was so frightened by his sister's suddenly raised voice that he almost cut his hand, and he stumbled over in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Qing's peach blossom eyes curved when she smiled, making her look very cute.

"Brother! Look what this is?" Following his sister's finger, Shitou also saw the eggs piled in the weeds.

Shitou's rapid breathing had not yet calmed down, his eyes were wide open, and he rubbed them in disbelief, then quickly and carefully put a few eggs on his clothes.

"Pheasant eggs?" No, they seem a little small. Could they be bird eggs?

Facing my sister's puzzled look, I didn't care. As long as it was edible, it was fine.

Shitou recalled the taste of duck egg soup, saliva kept flowing from the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"How about we have eggs for lunch tomorrow?"

"Okay!" What a coincidence, this was exactly what she had in mind.

…

The winding streams were scattered across the fields, reflecting sparse and bright light under the sunlight. Tang Wan stepped into the soft dark brown soil, slowly squatted down on the river bank, swam on the clear water surface, and then scooped up a bucket of clear water.

Her beautiful eyes and brows could not hide the fatigue on her face.

They had been traveling on this road for seven or eight days before, and the team leader was like a headless fly, and he might have taken the wrong path a long time ago.

The food had long been exhausted, and sadly, her husband Li Jianguo had suddenly developed a high fever and passed away three days ago.

The man hadn't even had a single hot meal when he left, and his stomach was dry and dry from hunger. She was about to cry when she looked at him for even a second.

When the men in the village began to look at her and her daughter with ill intentions, she was so scared that she ran away with her daughter overnight.

All the way south.

I just hope to get out of this desolate place as soon as possible!

I was lucky yesterday and finally met someone.

The little man squatting next to her daughter was dark and thin, and judging from his accent he didn't seem to be a local. He was wearing a green military uniform and was chatting with Tang Wan and her daughter with a smile.

You can tell at first glance that he's a new recruit, and he talks a lot.

"Our leader is leading us on a training march in this remote mountain area, and I've fallen behind..."

"We all eat pig food in our group. If you want, you can help cook..." After saying that, he looked up at Tang Wan.

The woman nodded and lowered her eyes to hide the darkness in them.
