There was a full half jar of food in it, including soybeans, mung beans, which the ancients often called "shu", and a lot of wheat. A rough estimate is that there must be about 20 to 30 kilograms! Enough for them to eat for several days!
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed, and after digging for a long time, she finally cleared the soil and dragged out half of the water tank. Xiao Yaoer ran out at some point and said in surprise, "Sister! Sister! This is..."
"Hush!" Tang Shiyue put her finger on her lips and shushed softly, then pushed the water jar back into the house, hid in a corner, and whispered to her, "This is the food stored in the mouse hole. No one knows about it. Don't tell anyone, or grandma will definitely come to grab it!"
Xiao Yaoer quickly covered her mouth, nodded repeatedly, spread her fingers, and whispered through her fingers: "I won't tell you! Yaoer won't tell you!"
"Be good!" Tang Shiyue sat down and rested for a while, and then ordered her: "Yao'er, bring me that broken colander."
If this happened in modern times, a child over four years old would still have to be held and coaxed, but here, Xiao Yaoer is already very obedient and can run errands.
She walked with her short legs and picked up the broken colander. Tang Shiyue pulled some thin branches and patched up the big holes hastily. Then she found a small branch and a rope, sprinkled a few grains of wheat, and then she could catch sparrows.
Many country kids have played this game before. They use ropes to tie branches to set up a sieve. When they see a sparrow going in, they pull the rope and the sparrow is caught in. But now it is not winter and there is no snow. Sparrows have places to forage for food and generally do not come.
But as soon as Tang Shiyue set up the colander, the sparrows started to flock under the colander as if they were possessed by a poison. In a short while, more than a dozen sparrows were caught in the net. Xiao Yao'er was so happy that she almost laughed to death.
Looking at these sparrows that came to his door, Tang Shiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
...
This was enough to prove that her incredible luck had also come along... Finding the rat hole could be considered a coincidence, but the sparrow's behavior was definitely not a coincidence.
You have to know that in her previous life, whatever she played was really popular, and whatever she did was successful. She could make it to the hot search list just by raising her hand. Those who wanted to harm her would be unlucky without her having to do anything. Even if they harmed her, she would be able to turn it into a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, she would not have won the Best Actress award three times in a row at such a young age.
Therefore, as long as this incredible luck is still there, being kicked out or something like that, it won't matter! She can turn things around with her family in a minute!
…………
The longer she was busy, the longer Mrs. Wang cried, and the longer Mrs. Sun scolded her. The scolding became more and more foul, and all the old stories were brought up.
Tang Shiyue also completely understood the grudge between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Wang was a maid in a wealthy family. Her stepfather Tang Yongli followed the master to do business and met Wang by chance. He fell in love with her at first sight and begged the master to release her. He doted on her like a spoiled child. Although she was from a poor family, Wang was a woman who never had to do any housework.
But at that time Tang Yongli could make money. He followed others in the cloth business, running around here and there, and after a year of hard work he could always earn dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver. The whole Tang family relied on him to study, marry a wife and raise a son. Of course no one found fault with Wang. Besides, the young couple lived in the town at that time, and Mrs. Sun's hands could not reach that far.
Until later, a few years ago, when Tang Shiyue was only one year old, the caravan encountered bandits, and Tang Yongli was injured and crippled, and could no longer run with them. The host was kind and gave him one hundred taels of silver. After his wounds were healed, he had dozens of taels left.
Tang Yongli took Wang back to Jubao Village. Although he was lame, he still had kung fu skills and could make money by hunting, so he was still the pillar of the family.
Later, when Wang was pregnant with Xiao Yao'er, she suddenly acted coquettishly and asked for wild grapes in the middle of the night. Tang Yongli really went up the mountain to pick them, but fell off the cliff and died. It is said that when he was found, he still had a handful of wild grapes in his arms!
No wonder Mrs. Sun kept saying that her son was killed by her.
In general, Mrs. Wang is too pretentious and Mrs. Sun is too cruel.
Mrs. Sun had been harboring resentment for a long time, which suddenly erupted after her stepfather Tang Yongli died. Moreover, the fact that Wang gave birth to a girl made things even worse. She had wanted to kick them out of the house countless times over the years, and then when the fourth son, Tang Yongming, was about to marry into a wealthy family, she finally made up her mind and put it into action.
Given this situation, Wang still wants to rely on emotional support to get back? How naive.
Tang Shiyue was thinking in her mind while continuing to work with her hands.
She sent Xiao Yaoer to take the two sparrows to exchange for a spoonful of salt from the neighbor, washed the beans, put them in a broken iron pot to cook, and then started taking care of the sparrows.
I removed the head, skin and internal organs. I was not very skilled at first, but I became more and more proficient as I went along. After I had peeled them clean, I divided a few sparrows into several and prepared to pickle them to eat tomorrow. I also skewered the remaining sparrows one by one with bamboo sticks.
Xiao Yaoer watched helplessly beside them. She moved two large stones over, moved some firewood over, and placed the sparrows on the fire. She said to Xiao Yaoer, "Yaoer, go call mother back."
Xiao Yaoer was a little timid, Tang Shiyue said: "Don't be afraid, just go over and tell her quietly that we have sparrows to eat. If she comes back, she can come back. If she doesn't come back, you don't have to say anything."
She was not afraid to go by herself, but she had seen many people like Wang, and the more she coaxed them, the more they would act. Letting Xiao Yaoer go and giving her a way out was already for the sake of her original body and Tang Shirong, and she would not give her any more face.
Xiao Yaoer went there obediently, and then she heard Grandma Sun screaming, "Where's your good daughter? Isn't she stupid? She has been eating my rice for so many years, but she doesn't know how to come to my house and kowtow to me? I have raised her for so many years in vain! It turns out that she is a useless person!"
She raised her voice: "My third son is not a good person, and your daughter is not much better. What kind of daughter would let her mother kneel and cry outside without even showing her face? You are a family of conscienceless and despicable children!"
Tang Shiyue calmly turned the skewer, thinking that this old woman was really amazing. She had been scolding for the whole afternoon but her voice was not hoarse at all!
After waiting for a whole incense stick's worth of time, Wang finally came back crying. She had been kneeling for so long that her legs were limping.
Xiao Yaoer was very smart. As soon as she was helped into the door, she hurried to close the courtyard gate. With her small body, she struggled to carry the wooden door and closed it carefully. She was so well-behaved.
Wang took a breath, walked slowly in front of her, and questioned, "Tang Shiyue! She scolded me like this, and you didn't even show your face! You just listened to her scolding me like this! I really raised you in vain!"
At this time, the sparrows on the fire were already roasted and juicy, and the beans in the pot were also emitting some fragrance. There was not much salt, so Tang Shiyue sprinkled it carefully and said lightly: "I have been scolding for more than two hours, is there still a few more words? Besides, didn't you come here to ask for scolding?"
"You! Rebellious son!" Wang was furious. She raised her hand and overturned the plate. The two roasted sparrows and salt all fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
Tang Shiyue stood up suddenly, his eyes spitting fire with anger!
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she was so angry!
At this moment, she just wanted to hit Wang on the head with a brick!
In modern times, she has the capital, traffic and acting skills, and no one dares to speak loudly to her. But now, she endured the injuries all over her body and worked hard for most of the day. She finally baked these few, but there was only a little salt. When she sprinkled it, she had to hold the plate and was reluctant to use it! Wang is really! Dare!
Tang Shiyue gnashed her teeth in anger.
Wang was not afraid at all. She held her neck high, stood with dignity and elegance, and coldly scolded, "You are a disobedient and unfilial thing!"
Tang Shiyue looked at her and suddenly sneered.
