Early the next morning, everyone in the Xiao family got up and started working.
Su Qingning helped Zhang Qinxue and her eldest sister-in-law pack up their belongings, while Liu Qing took her second sister-in-law to borrow a pot from the official and cooked breakfast for everyone.
Seeing the inexplicable extra game and various vegetables and fruits, my grandmother and my second sister-in-law said nothing and calmly prepared the ingredients. They cooked a pot of fragrant vegetable and meat porridge for everyone.
The food they cook here is so delicious that Zhao Jinhai and Li Yangshi often come here to eat.
Since these two people always brought a lot of food to give to the Xiao family every time they came, no one said anything and silently made room for them.
Everyone held the delicious meat porridge in their hands and sipped it, feeling happy in their hearts.
Li Yang drank two big bowls of it, licking his mouth with a look of enjoyment. He felt that it was not enough, so he took a bite of a juicy peach.
After this, my eyebrows flew up with pleasure.
"Oh my god! I've never tasted peaches so delicious! Madam, where did you get these peaches?!"
Su Qingning wondered, could the food raised in the dark soil and spiritual spring water in the space be delicious?
After handing one to Xiao Huaishuo, he also picked up a big one and started chewing it. He lied without any guilt:
"I picked it from the mountains."
Li Yang's eyes widened as he looked at the juicy and beautiful apricots, loquats and plums in front of him, and asked with certainty:
"These...are these picked from the mountains?"
Yes, are he and the young lady visiting the same mountain?
He also went to the mountains yesterday, but how come he only picked some sour wild fruits? !
"Nonsense!"
Su Qingning gave him a look that looked like he was a fool.
Li Yang looked aggrieved and had no choice but to hide in the corner and eat peaches.
Forget it, I asked. I can't compare with a god like the young lady.
Although he is a nobody, he also has the wisdom of a nobody. He knows that if he follows Sister Su, he can have meat to eat!
The days ahead will be much more promising than being a miserable official!
The faces of the Xiao family members nearby were also filled with satisfied smiles. Everyone ate the sumptuous breakfast quietly, silently thanking Su Qingning for coming.
They were all worldly-wise people, and they could tell that the meats, vegetables, fruits, and other daily necessities that Su Qingning brought out were of extraordinary quality.
Even better than the things they have in the palace!
Who could have imagined that the food they ate in exile was better than what they enjoyed when they were royal nobles in the capital? !
If the dog emperor knew what kind of life they are leading now, he would be so angry that he would die on the spot!
The Su family members, who were separated by a small forest, now all looked disheveled and dirty.
Before they were exiled, they were looted by Su Qingning, and now they are all penniless.
Aunt Shen also realized that the Su family was a bunch of ungrateful people, and now she only wanted to keep the remaining money and spend it slowly with her two children in the future. She no longer had the intention to subsidize others.
The Su family sat together, all of them starving, but they could only eat the free black flour steamed buns to fill their stomachs.
The steamed bun was extremely unpalatable to begin with, and it required a great deal of willpower to chew it up and swallow it.
The smell of the meat porridge from the Xiao family was still filling the Su family's noses like a treasure.
The Su family swallowed their steamed buns with tears in their eyes, feeling grief-stricken in their hearts.
But he dared not to openly pick on the Xiao family again. He could only quietly curse the Xiao family who knew how to share.
Soon the Xiao family and the officials finished their meal. The prisoners had no choice but to continue to follow the team.
Everyone in the Xiao family soaked in the medicinal pool water yesterday, and now they all feel much more relaxed, and they all walk around refreshed.
In addition, Su Qingning had awakened her water ability last night. Now, there was only a cool breeze and a light mist around the Xiao family.
The family walked in the wilderness, and even with the scorching hot summer sun overhead, they did not feel any discomfort at all.
Su Qingning in particular, held the leaf umbrella made for her by Xiao Huaishuo. She walked with her grandmother, then walked side by side with her mother, sharing the "sun umbrella" with the other women in the Xiao family.
The family was chatting and laughing. If there was a group of dejected exiles behind them as a background, they would have thought they were on vacation!
Because the officials had to go to Qinghe Town to replenish supplies today, after marching for half a day, they arrived at the post station in Qinghe Town to rest.
Su Qingning was about to ask for a shop for ten people as usual, but was stopped by Xiao Huaishuo.
"You'll be treating my wounds later, and it'll disturb my grandmother and the others. Let's get a double room so we can live alone."
The women of the Xiao family felt as if they had been hit in the face by someone's abacus beads, and they looked at each other with auntie smiles on their faces.
Su Qingning didn't notice the expressions of the crowd. She thought, I always pay attention, right? When have you ever seen my grandmother and the others being disturbed by me?!
On second thought, a quiet environment would really help the patient recover, so he asked for an extra double room.
Xiao Huaijin was not yet an adult, so letting him and his mother sleep in the same bunk bed could also protect the safety of the female family members at night.
The court is now corrupt and the people are living in poverty. Zhao Jinhai and Li Yang are now determined to follow the Xiao family to fight for a better future. Yesterday, they wrote a letter to their family members asking them to pack up their things and move to Lingnan.
Now they would try their best to satisfy Su Qingning's wishes, not to mention booking another room.
On the exile team side, the Li and Wang families, who were on good terms with the Xiao family and were relatively well-off, also asked for a few large shop units.
The Su family was in a worse situation, with one or two of them penniless. Even if some of them still had money hidden at this time, they wanted to take it out to support their families, but they were all driven into the pigsty of the station.
The officials wanted to go into the city to buy things, but the exiles could not enter the city. They could only bribe the officials to bring some things back for them.
When he heard that he could buy something, Su Chengzhi, who was so hungry that his eyes were shining, sat down on the spot and started to throw tantrums in front of Aunt Shen.
"Mother! Ask the official to buy me some delicious food! I want to eat bird's nest, shark's fin, and abalone! Hurry up and pay for it!"
"Zhi'er...you have also seen our current situation..."
"I don't care! I want it! Why can that little bastard Su Qingning eat meat, but I can only eat black-faced steamed bread? You said you would catch a pheasant for me yesterday! But I didn't even see a feather! I want to eat delicious food now!"
Su Chengzhi, a 220-pound giant, saw Sa Li rolling around and started punching and kicking Shen. Shen's increasingly serious pig-head face was instantly covered with several horrible lumps.
She loved her eldest son dearly, and couldn't bear to see him become thin and hungry, so she had to secretly give a few taels of silver to a nearby official, asking him to buy some meat buns for her, so that she could at least offer a feast to her son and daughter.
Su Qingyin, who was sitting nearby with a pig-like face, had eyes that had long lost focus from fatigue. But when she heard her mother wanted to buy something, she perked up a little.
He immediately stood up, twisting his waist and gave Su Qingning a very provocative look.
"Mom, please ask the officials to buy more. I want everything that Su Qingning has!"
After saying this, he even blinked his squinting eyes that were squeezed into a slit by the pus, and glanced meaningfully at Xiao Huaishuo who was sitting next to Su Qingning.
