The next morning, Chen Li defeated a few of her friends as usual. When she returned home, she found that her mother looked at her strangely.
"Mom, is there something on my face?"
Lin Cuicui shook her head. "A-Li, I'm just curious about what you dreamed about last night."
Chen Li: How did mother know that I was dreaming?
"That's why I laughed like that."
Chen Li: ...
Chen Li had a blank expression on her face, but she was going crazy inside.
"Nothing much, I just dreamed of a table full of delicious food and I couldn't control myself."
Chen Li struggled to come up with an excuse to perfunctorily answer Lin Cuicui.
Perhaps noticing that her daughter was a little embarrassed, Lin Cuicui nodded to show that she believed her, then went to the kitchen and got out a few pancakes.
"Ali, eat more. Now is the time for growth."
"good."
How should I tell my mother that my stomach is a little bloated now?
Never mind, I can still stuff a little more in!
After a while, Shen Changshan and his two sons came back. Shen Changshan was not idle after returning. He took a bucket and started drawing water from the well.
"Ali, come over and take a look. Is the water level not as high as yesterday?"
Chen Li leaned over to take a look and saw that the water level was indeed 5 centimeters lower than yesterday.
Shen Yuanzhou also came over to look, and after a while he said innocently: "Dad, you have a really good eye."
Shen Changshan resisted the urge to knock his son on the head. He couldn't knock him, what if he became more stupid the more he knocked?
Is this the point?
The two men stepped back, and the other people in the house leaned over to look, and soon the area around the well was crowded.
"The water level has dropped, so we need to save water."
"Um."
This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Fortunately, the dozen or so water tanks in the house were full, so they were not so panicked.
Their house is close to the foot of the mountain, and the water level dropped so quickly. Did other families in the village who have wells start doing so a few days ago?
Everyone looked at each other in silence for a while, and then those who wanted to fetch water stopped bothering and went back to fetching water, while those who wanted to dry herbs went back to drying them.
Things have come to this point. No matter how much they worry about it, it will be useless and will only add to their troubles.
Chen Li looked at her family members who were doing their jobs and nodded with satisfaction. She had a good understanding and did not feel sorry for herself.
Chen Li went to the basement to check the things at home. There were about 1,200 kilograms of brown rice. Although it was not a large amount, the daily consumption of a family was also huge.
Because of physical exercise, the man in the family and Shen Li can eat eight taels of rice a day, while my mother and sister-in-law can eat five taels.
I need about 5 kilograms of rice a day, and a few dishes for lunch and dinner.
Looking at it this way, this little bit of rice won't last long.
However, there is still some corn, soybeans and coarse flour at home, which add up to 500 kilograms, and there is still a lot of food stored in my own space.
There are more than 100 kilograms of dried meat in the cellar, and nearly 300 kilograms in Shen Li's space.
There are also dozens of dried pheasants and rabbits, but we haven't been making them for a while because there are too many of them and they are too eye-catching.
The rest are some miscellaneous items, such as oilcloth, water bags, salt, sugar and other indispensable items.
By then, one mule cart might not be enough, so we'll see how the situation develops and buy another one.
If her parents were both weak, Chen Li might not be so high-profile, but her father and brother are both very powerful now, and with her uncle and cousin, it doesn't matter if she attracts attention.
I have prepared so much, isn’t it just for the journey of escaping famine?
If I were to walk on foot and cut back on food and clothing like everyone else, would there be any point in coming here so early?
Chen Li had suffered enough since childhood, and later she had to struggle in the apocalypse, which was even more miserable. Her luck was simply terrible.
For a while, no one dared to team up with me, for fear of being infected by my bad luck.
Later they found that this bad luck only affected Shen Li, and no one else was in trouble. Sometimes they would even pick up supplies dropped by Shen Li, so the team came to look for her.
Chen Li: I#＊·＃@＊＊＊Bi……
After all, she, Chen Li, is a rare dual-system psychic. If she is lucky, she will be a hot commodity!
Chen Li looked around again before walking up. The things at home were almost ready. During that time, she would make some dry food and biscuits and carry them with her to have a snack while traveling.
Chen Li went to the backyard and looked at the lotus leaves in the small pond. She reached out and ruthlessly plucked them all off.
Suddenly, there were only some bare lotus stalks and a few lotus buds that had just emerged from the water in the pond.
Shen Qi'an paused. This was so beautiful, but it seemed that the little sister had the potential to be ruthless and beautiful.
"Fourth brother, come quickly and chop these lotus leaves into small pieces and dry them."
Shen Qi'an walked towards the front yard while holding it and asked casually, "What does this do?"
"Oh, it can calm you down."
Shen Qi'an suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he plucked out all the lotus leaves in the pond.
I don’t know how many more times I can pull it out!
Chen Li chopped the lotus leaves into pieces and put them in a winnowing basket to dry. The sun was shining brightly now, so they dried quickly.
There are now countless winnowing baskets of various sizes in the yard, all filled with herbs.
If there were too many and they didn't need any, they would take some to the town's clinic and sell them for money.
But there are not as many herbs as before because they have almost all been picked by them.
Of course, they received instructions from Chen Li not to pick all the herbs, and did not pick any that were too small.
My uncle and his family also saved a lot of money by collecting herbs and going to the town to exchange them for money. Of course, they had to ask Shen Li or Shen Qian'an how to deal with the herbs, otherwise they would not know.
Chen Li was well behaved for a few days. During this time, she suppressed her restless heart and did not go into the mountains to look for Xiaotuanzi.
If she hadn't seen it before, Chen Li would never have thought of it.
But who wouldn’t be tempted by the warm, plump little dumplings that are within reach?
And, most importantly, there is no law here prohibiting private individuals from raising panda babies. This is too harsh!
So, in a bamboo forest in Wuling Mountain, a girl wearing a narrow-sleeved top and a long skirt was sticking her butt out, looking intently into the bamboo forest.
