Chapter 62 Back Home
Song Weiwei collapsed to the ground and started to cry: "You brought three mouths to feed, but you didn't bring back any food. We are starving to death."
"Weiwei, the plague has been under control now. If you want to buy vegetables, you can." Xu Miaomiao squatted down and comforted her softly.
"Really?" Song Weiwei looked at Xu Miaomiao with tears in her eyes, then glanced at the sky beside her, tears still welling up in her eyes: "Even if we can go, it's too late now. Wuwuwu, there's nothing to eat tonight."
"Alas." Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Weiwei and Gu Yuanniang, and said, "Don't worry, even if you can't buy it, I have a way."
Hearing this, Song Weiwei stopped crying. Yes, Xu Miaomiao knows how to hunt. With her around, why would she have to worry about food?
"Then go and get some delicious pheasants and rabbits."
Song Weiwei wiped the tears from her face and urged Xuxumiaomiao to go out.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the girl, lowered her head and smiled helplessly, then took the backpack and went up the mountain at her urging.
It wasn't that she was really going hunting. Besides, it was already late at night and she would get nothing even if she went into the mountains. She remembered that there was still a lot of food, vegetables, meat, etc. that she had stored in the space. Even if she didn't go out, it would be enough for her family to eat for several months.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion from others, Xu Miaomiao walked to the front of the mountain, looked around and saw no one around before opening the space.
There were green vegetables growing in the space, and a few pheasants and rabbits were kept nearby. These were what she had stockpiled before the plague came. Besides, the space had a good preservation function, so there was no need to worry about them going bad.
Xu Miaomiao took inventory of the supplies in the space, counted the chickens, ducks, fish and meat, then satisfiedly took out a pheasant, a rabbit and dug out two large vegetables.
"Mother is back."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao entered the house, she was surrounded by two children. Erbao and Xiaobao looked at the things in Xu Miaomiao's backpack and couldn't help but sigh at how great she was. They looked at her with admiration in their eyes.
Xu Miaomiao only felt that her two children were like voice broadcasts, and every time she entered the door, they would run over at the first time and accurately.
"Xu Miaomiao, where did you get this thing?" Song Weiwei widened her eyes in surprise, looking at Xu Miaomiao in disbelief. She knew that this woman was good at hunting, but what she got today was a bit too exaggerated. Besides, where did those two cabbages come from?
"I happened to see an old man selling cabbages when I went up the mountain, so I bought some." Xu Miaomiao explained to Song Weiwei, "I caught this rabbit and pheasant by accident right after I entered the mountain. Maybe I was lucky."
After listening, Song Weiwei nodded blankly. It seemed that she would have to stay with Xu Miaomiao for a while longer in the future. Her luck was too good.
Thinking that Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuan's mother had finally returned home, Song Weiwei went into the kitchen to prepare something.
"Sixth Lady, what are you doing?"
Xu Miaomiao stared at Gu Yuanniang and asked, as soon as she got home she saw her hands moving non-stop.
"As the weather gets colder, I'll make some clothes for Ling'er."
Gu Yuanniang spoke slowly.
"Liu Niang is really skilled." Xu Miaomiao agreed, but she really couldn't learn from her.
"Lan Yin, have you been behaving well lately?"
Xuguo looked at the little girl's head tenderly and couldn't help but touch it.
"Yes, Lan Yin didn't go out to play. She stayed at home with Erbao and Xiaobao every day. Sister Weiwei even taught me embroidery."
As she spoke, Lan Yin took out a crooked little rabbit that she had embroidered and showed it to Xuguo.
The boy had a tender look on his face, and he praised the weird-looking rabbit to bits.
“It’s time to eat!”
Following Song Weiwei's call, everyone stopped what they were doing and came to the dining table in unison.
"Weiwei is an excellent cook." Xu Miaomiao spoke as she looked at the table full of delicious dishes.
Gu Yuanniang also took out the fine wine from her collection and poured it for everyone, even the young Xuguo had a glass.
Xu Miaomiao was the first to pick up the cup and said, "Thank you Weiwei for preparing the delicious food for us, and thank you for taking care of the children."
As he was about to drink it all, Song Weiwei stopped him: "Hey, I did cook the meal, but my brother helps take care of the children."
Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Wushao awkwardly. She hadn't noticed him since she entered the room. Now she carefully observed that the man's cheeks had become thinner, but his cold temperament was still the same. Since she had talked to him, how did she call him? Husband? No, no, that was too intimate. Should she just call him Song Wushao? No, no, she didn't dare to call the big boss by his full name.
Just when Xu Miaomiao was still struggling with how to address Song Wushao, Song Wushao spoke up: "He's my own child, there's no need to worry about it."
Suddenly, Xu Miaomiao felt an awkward atmosphere spreading around her. Gu Yuanniang realized that something was wrong and quickly said, "Come on, eat some food, eat some food."
Everyone then started eating. Xu Miaomiao quickly glanced at Gu Yuanniang with gratitude, but she missed her perfectly.
I packed up my things for the evening and finally made it to the evening.
Xu Miaomiao and Song Wushao squeezed together for a night, and went to the restaurant without stopping the next day.
"Miao Miao, did you not sleep well last night?"
Gu Yuanniang asked curiously.
Xu Miaomiao nodded awkwardly. In order to make room for Xiaobao and Xuguo, Erbao slept in their room last night. Who knew that the little girl would actually try to grab the quilt in the middle of the night. She failed and could only sleep on Song Wushao's bed for the night. That would have been fine, but the worst thing was that she always felt that Song Wushao was staring at her with strange eyes this morning, as if he wanted to eat her.
The ox cart wobbled to the market. Xu Miaomiao jumped off the cart and was stunned by the scene before her.
I saw a lot of vegetables and eggs placed in front of the door, accompanied by flowers. What was going on?
"Doctor Xu is here."
A woman looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke with surprise.
As she called out, the people around her gathered around Xu Miaomiao.
"Doctor Xu, we are all here to thank you."
"Yes, yes." The man next to him echoed: "Thanks to you, we can survive. You are our savior."
As he said this, he was about to kneel down to Xu Miaomiao, but Xu Miaomiao stopped him: "Don't dare."
"Doctor Xu, these are just some gifts from our neighbors. You must accept them." An old lady was holding a basket of eggs and looking at Xu Miaomiao with mist in her eyes.
Xu Miaomiao was somewhat flattered, and said with a fist: "Everyone, I, Xu Miaomiao, also thank you very much."
Gu Yuanniang was also touched watching this scene.
"Madam Gu, this is for you." The woman next to her handed a handkerchief to Gu Yuanniang.
Gu Yuanniang was a little surprised. Both the embroidery and the material of the handkerchief looked very valuable.
