Chapter 12: 20,000 Steps Mission Completed



Li Qubing saw his mother smiling kindly at him, and that smile made him feel extremely comfortable.

How long has it been since mother was this happy?

He himself was happy for no reason. As long as his mother was happy, he was happy!

"Huh? Mom, you seem to have become a little paler."

"real?"

Is it possible that improving physical fitness can also change one's appearance?

Wang Yi hurriedly touched her face, but it was still rough. Although she was 40 years old in her previous life, her skin was still delicate and smooth. The expensive skin care products were not bought in vain.

Much more tender than this face.

She couldn't sense any difference.

Well, it was all for nothing.

Without thinking too much, Wang Yi quickly got up.

After a good sleep, I felt that the pound of lotus root was completely digested.

She pulled Qubing and said, "Come on, dear, let's go eat snake meat!"

The boss's shack was already crowded with people. The snake meat was bubbling in the pot, and the aroma had been completely aroused. Wang Yi was so greedy that his mouth was watering.

This comes from the body's physiological reaction. Wang Yi will never admit that it is his own fault. It must be the fault of his predecessor.

Lotus root was also thrown in and cooked, and a small piece was cut into slices and placed in a small bowl for everyone to eat raw. However, the stewed soft noodles were more suitable for those who had been hungry for a long time.

"Mom is here, big brother, hurry up and serve the meat!"

Qi'er ran in front of Wang Yi, jumping and skipping, feeling extremely anxious.

Wang Yi was very moved by this. No matter how poor this family was, no matter how much they disliked her mother, they still had good manners and never started eating before she arrived.

It can be seen that the previous man was very good at housekeeping, which is why these sons developed good habits.

Thinking of the man she had never met, Wang Yi felt relieved.

I'm afraid this is the extent of a man's role, right?

Especially among modern married couples, it is rare to find one who can even support a family.

Women have to continue working after giving birth to children, so what is the use of men?

It is said that when you get married, you ask for a lot, but what you cannot afford, can you afford it in the future?

A house is a must. Without a house, where will you put your children after you have them?

Wang Yi was lost in thought while she picked up the lotus root in the bowl and ate it.

Soft, delicious, and sweet, without any meaty smell.

It may be because more snake meat was stewed this time, more soup was put in, and there were some soup noodles in it, which greatly diluted the flavor.

When she looked down, she found that except for the half bowl of meat in her bowl, the others only had one piece.

Wang Yi put down the bowl with an unhappy look on his face and looked at the boss: "What's going on? There's so little cooked, who will eat it?"

"Mom, I specially gave you some extra..." Juanhua felt a little aggrieved. Even with so much meat, she had to eat it sparingly. How could she cook it all? Besides, with so much lotus root, if she put it all in the pot at once, wouldn't it be enough?

"As long as I can fill my stomach, that's all. I'll have the rest of the meat dried so we can eat it on the road in three days."

Li Shenggen said while eating.

"On the way in three days? We're leaving? I haven't heard you mention that."

"I went to the village chief's house today. I didn't get any food in exchange, but I got a piece of news. The rebel army is coming, and I'm afraid they'll pass by Yequpo in less than two weeks. The village chief told the whole village to flee the famine together. Since we can't farm here anyway, we should head north to Jingguo."

“…”

Is it still impossible to escape the fate of fleeing famine?

Wang Yi sighed and felt that the food in the bowl was not so delicious anymore.

The hot meal smelled delicious, but only the seventh child and the eldest grandson were truly happy. Everyone was silent at the thought of leaving their childhood home.

"If the whole village moves away, what about those in-laws?"

"Everyone leave. There are no people left in the nearby villages."

Wang Yi was silent for a moment, looking at the giant python that still smelled of blood:

"Then let's ask the wives to go back tomorrow and give each family some of the meat. If they get separated, it will be difficult to see each other again in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, several daughters-in-law looked up in surprise. This was something they had not expected.

Is the mother-in-law willing to share the meat in her home with them and take it back to her own home?

The sons also came to their senses and looked at their mother in surprise.

This is really not her style.

Wang Juanhua's tears as big as beans rolled into the bowl one after another, and she hid her sadness by eating quickly. She had not seen her mother for a long time since she gave birth to her eldest child and became pregnant again. She had heard the news of fleeing famine and had no hope of seeing her family again, but she did not expect that her mother-in-law would ask them to go home and even send back a piece of meat.

How did my mother-in-law become so generous?

However, it's a good thing no matter what. They have never added anything to the family since they got married, and this time it's a farewell forever.

The family backgrounds of several of the in-laws are not very good, otherwise why would they marry their daughters to a family like theirs to suffer? This piece of meat can even save lives.

"Filial piety +9."

Except for the ignorant seventh son, the other sons and daughters-in-law were all grateful for this matter. Even the single fifth and sixth sons felt that their mother did a good job.

Although my mother was a jerk before, everyone has seen the changes she's undergone in the past few days. Putting aside the fact that the meat was brought by my mother-in-law, even if it's about how my mother-in-law divides the meat, no one else dares to make the decision unless she speaks up.

Even the eldest son would take into consideration the large family and limited food supply and save some meat for his family to eat on the road, and the daughters-in-law would not feel resentful about this. In this day and age, it is difficult for one to take care of oneself, so how can one take care of others?

“…”

Wang Yi was a little surprised. Her every move seemed to earn her a lot of filial piety points, but she saw more than just filial piety points.

These people were no longer characters in a novel, but real people standing before her, with emotions, words, and gratitude towards her.
