Qingtian was sleeping soundly when she was startled by Guo who came running back. She cried out "Wow" and woke up Mrs. Ye who was beside her.
Mrs. Ye noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Something happened! Get up quickly!"
This shout immediately woke up the whole family.
The three brothers jumped up reflexively, picked up their weapons and surrounded the enemy.
Mrs. Ye stuffed Qingtian, who didn't know what had happened, into Old Lady Ye's arms, and together with her two sisters-in-law, stood in front of the flatbed truck.
Seeing that the Ye family was so large and powerful, the visitor seemed a little scared.
But when he saw a pile of potatoes vaguely visible under the dry grass, he still felt a surge of fear and shouted, "Brothers, there's food at his house. Follow me!"
The four brothers of the Ye family also took up their positions and were ready for battle.
I saw several thin and small men rushing out of the darkness, holding stones or branches in their hands, and moving like monkeys coming down the mountain.
Now, not only the four brothers, but also the women and children in the family were speechless.
Don’t you know your own physical condition? Why do you still imitate others and rob people?
One of them was running and tripped over his left foot, falling flat on his face.
The Ye brothers didn't have to put in much effort and quickly drove away the men.
Ye Lao Er chased after him for a long distance, and when he came back, he waved the stick in his hand and said happily: "People still need to eat meat. Eating meat will give you strength!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changnian immediately raised his arms and shouted, "It would be great if we could eat meat every day!"
"You're so beautiful!" Mrs. Ye scratched her son's nose and said, "Go back to sleep!"
Ye Lao Si looked around and didn't see his wife. He immediately became anxious: "Feng Ying? Where is she?
Only then did Guo emerge from the back of the car in a panic, with two pieces of dry grass on her head and a half-eaten potato in her hand.
Third Sister Ye burst out laughing and said sarcastically, "Oh, Fourth Wife, you really need to practice your courage.
"A few weaklings scared you so much, what would you do if you really ran into bandits?"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" said Old Lady Ye, "Don't dwell on these things!"
Mrs. Ye also quickly followed suit and spat three times: "Oh, Bodhisattva, don't blame me, the bad things don't work, but the good things do!"
Old Madam Ye patted the carriage board again and said, "Fourth Brother, come here with your wife!"
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Ye Lao Si came up and honestly admitted his mistake. "I will go out to find food tomorrow morning and make up for the potatoes that Fengying ate."
Guo hurriedly stuffed the remaining potatoes into her mouth, but she choked and stretched her neck to swallow them. Then she came over and opened her mouth to complain, "Mom, I woke up hungry in the middle of the night..."
"Don't try to play tricks on me!" Old Madam Ye glared at her fiercely, "Don't think I don't know that at least half of Old Four's food rations these days have gone into your stomach!
"I can't control how much he loves his wife. He starved himself to death because of his own fault.
"But these potatoes are food for the whole family. Not only did you two steal them in the middle of the night, but you also attracted bad guys.
"Luckily, we're just a few starving refugees. If we had really run into some tough bandits, your two would have implicated our entire family..."
"I tell you two, if you dare to do it again, I'll break one leg each!"
Guo shrank her neck in fear and nodded repeatedly.
Ye Laosi was scolded so badly that he couldn't even raise his head. He wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing that the scolding was almost over, Mrs. Ye hurried over to smooth things over and deliberately said the same words as the old lady had just said.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Mother, don't dwell on this.
"We have had such a smooth journey, we will definitely not encounter any bandits or thugs."
Old Mrs. Ye was stunned by what she said, and then she couldn't help but laugh and spat three times.
She couldn't continue scolding him, so she raised her hand and pointed at Mrs. Ye and scolded her with a smile: "You, just protect them!"
"Who's protecting them? I'm just worried they'll make Mom mad."
Mrs. Ye had been married for more than ten years and had already figured out Old Madam Ye's temper. She could make her happy with just a few words.
"Okay, let's go back to sleep!"
Mrs. Ye returned to the car and saw Qingtian looking at her. She touched her head and asked, "Are you scared?"
Qingtian shook his head and leaned in as much as possible, trying to leave more space for her.
Mrs. Ye felt so relieved that she lay down and held Qingtian in her arms.
"How come our Sunny is so sensible!
"Okay, go to bed quickly. Mom will stew potatoes for you tomorrow."
Qingtian closed his eyes as he was told, and when he woke up it was already dawn.
The aroma of food floated in the air, causing her to swallow frantically.
Occasionally, the refugees passing by would cast greedy glances at them, but after seeing the four tall and strong brothers, they could only put aside their evil thoughts and continue on their way.
The family's breakfast was potatoes stewed in chicken soup, and everyone was eating without even looking up.
Qingtian got up the latest and sat on the flatbed cart, watching Mrs. Ye walking towards him with a towel in one hand and a bowl in the other.
She sat down next to Qingtian, wiped her face and hands carefully, and then began to feed her.
The potatoes are stewed until they are soft and fluffy, and melt in your mouth while they are hot.
It is full of chicken soup and is even more delicious.
“Is it delicious?”
"Yeah!" Qingtian nodded repeatedly, but tried his best to push away Mrs. Ye's hand.
Mrs. Ye didn't understand what was going on, so she simply stopped resisting and saw Qingtian push the spoon directly in front of her.
"For me to eat?" Mrs. Ye asked speculatively.
Qingtian nodded vigorously and said, "Delicious!"
"You're giving it to me because it's delicious?" Seeing her thoughtfulness, Mrs. Ye was even happier than if she had eaten it herself. "Good boy, wait until you're full before I eat."
