"Okay, okay, Mom, tell us when you go out next time, so we don't have to worry." Lin Zijun tried to reconcile.
Yu Lanhua looked at her family members, each of whom had lost a little weight but still looked healthy. She then recalled how her family had become emaciated, and felt incredibly uncomfortable. Her tone of voice was tinged with anger as she responded, "Even if I poop, I have to tell you. I have to tell you clearly whether it's dry, loose, or not!"
After saying this, without waiting for any reaction from his family, he went back to his own place and decided to ignore anyone at home, not even looking at his two little grandsons Dunzi and Douzi.
Lin Zijun stopped his father from going to argue with his mother and said helplessly, "Dad, forget it. Mom cares so much about my uncle's family, and we can't help. It's normal for her to feel this way. It will be fine after a while."
Lin Zikun and Lin Zizheng were also annoyed by their mother's meddling, but after all, she was their mother, so how could they beat or scold her? They could only persuade their father together: "Yes, Dad, big brother is right. When we go further, maybe Mom will forget about this."
Lin Changfa looked at his three sons and had to give up trying to persuade him. He was secretly annoyed that this woman was becoming more and more ungrateful.
The Lin family members lived very close to each other, so they could respond together immediately in case of any attack or unexpected situation. Naturally, the movement here did not escape the eyes of the other three families. However, since it was Lin Changfa's family affair, they could not say much. They had no choice but to listen attentively.
Zhao Qing gently touched Lin Rui, who was holding Qingqing, with her arm. Feng Zhenniang made all the milk powder Lin Rui gave her and gave it to Lin Zao Zao to drink. Every time when children like Niu Niu and Mutou Dunzi looked at her eagerly, she was cruelly ignored. There was no way. This thing was so rare that her son was reluctant to drink it without seeing her, and left it for his second sister to nourish her body and produce milk to feed Qingqing.
They drank milk for three days straight, until on the fourth day, when only a thin layer of milk powder remained in the bamboo jar. Lin Zao Zao asked his mother to make some milk for Niuniu and Mu Tou. It was just a small spoonful of milk powder mixed with a bowl of water, and the milk was diluted to the point of having only a hint of milky flavor. Mu Tou and Niuniu drank it with gusto.
Thanks to Feng Zhenniang's special care and Lin Rui's provision of milk powder, Lin Zaozao finally had milk on the fourth day and could continue to breastfeed Qingqing.
The little girl in his arms now is not only chubby and cute like a lotus root, but also has tender flesh on her face and body, and looks pretty good. She is much better than those dark, thin or swollen children on the road of fleeing famine. That's why Lei Da, Zheng Si and others are paying attention to her.
Qingqing was one and a half months old, which was the time when babies suffer from intestinal gas. She cried heartbreakingly every evening and night. Lin Zaozao and Feng Zhenniang took turns holding her and humming "The sky and the earth are in a panic, there is a crying child in my house at night", but it was no use. It was only when Lin Rui used his few modern parenting knowledge and held Qingqing in his arms in the airplane hold that the little girl finally calmed down.
Only the people in this camp could sleep well. There was no other way. Although Qingqing's crying was soft, the tone was very sharp. When she cried, it was like a devil's sound, making it impossible for people around her to fall asleep.
Qingqing was now sleeping soundly in the arms of her uncle Lin Rui. Zhao Qing finally found an opportunity to talk to Lin Rui: "I see that my aunt is still angry with the family. I hope she can come to her senses. It's a critical moment, why is she still so soft-hearted?"
Lin Rui smiled and glanced at Zhao Qing: "Brother-in-law is quite good, he even knows how to use his tenderness."
Zhao Qing smiled and rubbed the back of his head. "I went to a private school for a few days when I was little. Later, my family was in financial difficulty, and with the locust plague, I had to go out begging. I didn't expect that I would have to experience two more such famines in my lifetime. Compared to the time when I was little, this time was like a paradise. Where could I get food back then? I ate the same things as them: tree bark, groundnuts, horseradish, and 'Niangniang' root... "
Fleeing famine and locust plagues used to be far away from Lin Rui, but now he was in an environment of fleeing famine. Even though his mansion provided him with enough food and drink, the non-stop journey was really life-threatening. The blisters on his feet broke and healed again and again. He repeated the past and knew the hardships of fleeing famine, but he was still like this, not to mention the victims along the way. Sometimes it was normal for them to walk seventy or eighty miles a day.
At this moment, someone patted Lin Rui's shoulder gently. He turned around and saw that it was his second sister.
Lin Zao Zao smiled at him, pointed at Qingqing, and motioned him to give Qingqing to her so that she could sleep with her. Lin Rui was finally relieved and carefully transferred the little thing in his arms to her.
Lin carried Qingqing back to bed early. Lin Rui shook his aching shoulders and said, "Brother-in-law, let's get some rest soon. No matter how much trouble our aunt-in-law makes, we can control her. We are all born by our parents, so it's normal for her to have this idea. But even if she gave the food to her mother, she would definitely not eat it. She would leave it for the children and grandchildren at home. In other words, before her mother can eat enough, she has to feed her family first. Is that possible?"
Zhao Qing smacked his lips and said, "Of course not. Even if I were to feed my family, their last two bags of food wouldn't last until then."
"Don't worry, aunt-in-law won't do anything weird!" Lin Rui yawned, patted his brother-in-law's shoulder and walked to the open space next to Sanliang and fell asleep. To be honest, everyone would like to sleep next to Sanliang at night. He has high fighting power and is alert, and he feels safe. However, his protection position on one side is always Lin Rui's. Even Lin Changxi likes to sleep on the other side of Sanliang, which makes Sanliang feel like he is surrounded by people on both sides.
However, what Lin Rui said tonight was quickly slapped in the face. What did he mean by Lin Changfa and Lin Zijun were there to watch Yu Lanhua and prevent her from causing any trouble? When the camp became quiet and only Lin Ziming was on guard, Yu Lanhua, who was lying on the ground and had gotten enough sleep during the day, opened her eyes.
He glanced at his sleeping family members and saw that they were all sleeping soundly with their eyes closed. Especially Lin Changfa, who was snoring loudly, obviously he was very tired during the day.
She carefully glanced at Lin Ziming, who was sitting in the middle on guard duty, and slowly stood up, walked around to the edge of her own cart, and carefully searched for food at home.
In order to prevent the grain from being stolen, Niu Qin and Zhu Ying put the grain at the bottom of a large vat. If someone tried to take it away, it would definitely make a lot of noise, and if that caused a commotion at home, not only would they not be able to deliver the grain to their mother and brothers, they might even get scolded by Chief Lin.
Yu Lanhua was so anxious that she was sweating all over, but she could only patiently move the water tank bit by bit. The ox cart was outside the light of torches and fire, and her movements were light and small, so Lin Ziming didn't see it.
With gentle movements, she finally moved the debris off the cart and saw the food underneath. Her eyes finally burst into joy.
