When Master Meng heard Fubao's thoughts, he felt very guilty.
They are all adults, how could they make a baby who is only one month old worry so much?
Both brothers Meng Lihou and Meng Liqian felt very guilty.
My aunt is only one month old, but she already looks so old. Is she getting old quickly?
"Fortunately, the water in our house can last at least two days."
Mr. Meng was the first to speak, just to let his little granddaughter hear it.
Chen also said, "There are people living here, so there must be a water source."
"It's better to use it sparingly."
Ji, who was washing vegetables, originally wanted to scoop a large bucket of water, but when he saw that many families did not have enough water, he was reluctant to waste it.
"You still have water, right? Lend me a bucket and I'll return it to you later."
Someone was borrowing water from everywhere, and just when he heard what Mr. Meng and Chen were saying, he came over with a bucket of water.
The whole family looked up together and saw that they didn't know the man at all. How could he have the nerve to ask to borrow a bucket of water?
【How shameless! 】
Although Meng Shuyan was complaining, she saw that the whole family's eyes were on the person fetching water, so she quickly took out half a pound of wild vegetables she had picked and hid them under the wild vegetables washed by the old lady.
It's dark now, and no one will notice the freshness and difference of those wild vegetables.
Thinking about the dryness here, I wanted to avoid having a hard time on the road like I did the past two days.
I simply stuffed two kilograms of wild vegetables into the cloth bag.
Of course, she put them in randomly at some point, and she was so tired that she was sweating.
“That won’t work, we have a big family.
There are only two buckets of water in total, and the other two buckets are empty.
You asked for a bucket, so I'll give it to you. We don't have enough for ourselves tonight.
I'll give you two scoops to cook some rice, but I don't have any more."
[I really like the way Dad always puts the interests of his family first!
Fortunately, my father is not a saint! 】
Meng Shuyan really likes her father's personality more and more.
Before anyone else in the family could say anything, he stood up and objected.
In fact, they had three and a half buckets of water, but there were many people in the family, mainly children and the elderly, who needed to avoid thirst and hunger.
Now, if you do good and give water to others, it will not be so convenient to ask others for more when you don’t have any left.
Meng Shijie, who had just rejected someone, couldn't suppress his joy when he heard his daughter praising him again.
The Wang family member who came to borrow water became annoyed when they saw that the Meng family not only refused to lend it to them but also smiled mockingly.
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Look at your smug look!"
Meng Shijie was not going to accept this. If he didn't provide water to his family, he would be scolded?
"Whether I am a villain or not, I don't know.
Anyway, his status is indeed higher than yours."
"you……"
"Dad, why did you abandon our family?
How will our family live in the future——"
The man surnamed Wang was just about to turn around and have a good talk with Meng Shijie when suddenly a terrifying howl was heard from the village.
The sound was quite sad, and it was followed by a burst of mournful wailing.
Everyone was frightened and trembled.
They all fell silent and looked towards the village.
"You two go and see what's going on. Why haven't they come back yet?"
The chief of the police called two more people and asked them to go into the village to find the two police officers who had entered the village before.
Besides, this matter is related to their servants.
The two officers came out as soon as they entered the village, followed by the two officers who had entered earlier.
"This village originally had a small population, with only a few scattered families. Now there are only two left. The others have fled one after another in the past two years.
The reason these two families did not leave was because there were elderly people with physical disabilities in their families, and they were all relatively filial.
Almost all the villagers have left, leaving only these two families. They have been searching everywhere every day to survive, and they are now just skin and bones.
The officer said he was so thirsty that he went to drink some water, and then another officer took over.
"Another elderly person passed away half a year ago.
I thought I couldn't survive and had to run away in a panic.
But there were only four of us left, and we were worried that the road was unsafe and we didn’t know where to go, so we wanted to wait for another family.
As a result, the old man in this family has been bedridden and just passed away."
After the two officers finished speaking, they heard the sound of mourning over there. The sound became even more miserable and louder, and the people were crying and singing at the same time.
The ones who cry are men, and they are very good at crying.
He cried since he could remember, and while crying he talked about how they had worked so hard to raise him and how they had earned money for him to start a family.
He has his own children, and they help him take care of several children, but they are reluctant to eat and drink. He is unfilial, very unfilial!
Then the old man fell ill and was bedridden for a year and a half.
It was like pouring out the entire life of the deceased.
He cried three times until his voice became hoarse, and only stopped after being persuaded by everyone.
Then the other family helped them with the funeral arrangements.
The elderly people in the large group, especially those in poor health, felt deeply moved when they heard this.
Many people also wiped away tears.
[This person can work as a mourner in the future and maybe even support his family.
I really know how to cry. 】
This was the first time Meng Shuyan had heard such mourning, and she felt heartbroken.
The Meng family members were feeling a little sad...
The views of their little Fubao are always different from those of ordinary people.
But what he said makes sense.
But it’s their own business after all, and these people in the big group should still eat and drink.
"My dear wife, I wonder why your cooking skills are sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Why are the wild vegetables so fresh, tender and delicious today? "
Chen felt that today's stewed meat and wild vegetables was really delicious. Not only was it fragrant, but it also tasted very fresh.
“I also think today’s food is particularly delicious.
But I do this every day, you see it, Mom."
Ji was also puzzled. He cooked the same way every day, but why did the food sometimes taste very delicious and sometimes really taste bad?
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Mr. Meng felt that his wife's words seemed like she was trying to find fault.
But seeing that she didn't mean that, he quickly interrupted her because it would be bad if his daughter-in-law misunderstood.
"Okay, okay, it's so delicious, eat more."
Chen didn't say anything more and personally picked up meat for her two daughters-in-law.
"The eldest daughter-in-law takes care of the family's food and drink every day. She works hard."
Ji was so flattered that she almost knelt down. Seeing that her mother-in-law was praising her sincerely, she was very happy.
“Mom has it harder!
A daughter-in-law should do what she is supposed to do.”
Chen Han was satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law's reaction and put two more pieces of meat into Leng Yingshuang's bowl.
"Today is Fubao's full moon. If it weren't for the sudden change, we should have held a full moon banquet for Fubao.
Yingshuang should eat more too, you have two mouths to feed."
