During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
"Shh!" Guo pulled aside the pile of dry grass, took out a potato and threw it into the fire.
"What are you doing?" Ye Lao Si was startled and subconsciously reached out to pick up the potatoes, but he jumped up because of the burning charcoal. "Hiss, why are you taking potatoes from my house?"
"I'm hungry," Guo said confidently. "It's not worth anything. Just say a rat stole it in the night!"
Ye Laosi wanted to say something else, but when he saw that Guo had already been fiddling with the charcoal to bury the potatoes, he could only swallow his words back.
I thought that after she fell asleep, I would go look around and see if I could dig a few more to fill the gap.
The potatoes were simmering on the charcoal, and soon a slightly burnt aroma was emitted, which drifted away with the night wind.
Guo finally showed some joy on her face and used a branch to pull the roasted potatoes out of the fire.
After eating grass roots, tree bark, and corn kernels along the way, roasted potatoes became a rare delicacy.
After it was no longer so hot, Guo broke the potato in half and handed half to Ye Laosi.
Ye Lao Si didn't want to eat alone without telling his family, so he shook his head and said, "You eat, I'm not hungry."
"Hmph! If you don't want to eat it, forget it." Guo knew what he was thinking. She snorted coldly and started to chew it with big mouthfuls.
After taking two bites, there was a loud bang and a stone flew between them and fell to the ground.
Ye Lao Si reacted very quickly, grabbed the fire tongs, and jumped up to block Guo: "Who is it?"
All I could hear in the darkness were several people talking in a chaotic manner at the same time.
"What's that delicious food at this late hour?"
"Hand over all the delicious food!"
"Hand over the food too!"
When Guo heard that the other party had a large number of people, she was so scared that she immediately left Ye Laosi and ran back.
Ye Laosi was also dumbfounded. Who could have thought that everything was peaceful when the family was eating pheasant, but Guo's secret roasting of potatoes in the middle of the night would lead to such a disaster!
