Wei Xu arrived at the foot of the mountain in silence. He hesitated for a moment and took out a bunch of keys from his arms.
"Uncle, after I leave, you can bring Aunt and Sister Siyue to live here."
Qin Jianye was as impolite as ever, and put the key in his pocket with a chuckle: "Don't worry, your aunt and I will definitely take good care of your house.
I guarantee no one can take it away!"
Wei Xu nodded. That was indeed what he meant. During his absence, more than one person must have gone in and searched.
I lost some insignificant things, but I didn't want to give those second-rate guys another chance.
Tell the team leader when you are about to leave to avoid any trouble from the villagers.
"When are you leaving?"
"In a moment, the 11 o'clock train!"
Qin Jianye rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Uncle doesn't have anything good to give you, so I just wish you a safe journey!"
Wei Xu didn't care, waved his hand, and climbed over the wall into the house.
Qin Jianye looked at his agile skills and his eyes sparkled with envy.
"Back then, I was also someone people admired!"
After muttering, he walked home.
The Wei family's family wasn't far from the Qin family's, but it wasn't close either. It took at least fifteen minutes to walk there.
He paraded through the streets carrying a mouse, and many people who were so hungry that they were dizzy cast envious glances at him.
A few people almost rushed over to grab it, but Qin Jianye was quick-witted and dodged it.
***
At the Qin family's house, Qin Siyue got up and found that her father was not there, and she panicked for a moment.
It was only after Chen Yunwei comforted him that he calmed down.
The mother and daughter sat on the kang and looked at each other, with the same expression of despair on their faces.
"Gugugugugugu~~~~"
Qin Siyue rubbed her stomach and wanted to cry.
Chen Yunwei was the same. She had never suffered from hunger and felt like she was about to achieve enlightenment.
"How about I go ask my grandma for something to eat? Judging from her expression, she seems to be quite sincere towards me!"
Qin Siyue was not very confident, but still asked tentatively.
Chen Yunwei shook his head: "Forget it, they all ate dirt yesterday.
You know the soil, the Guanyin soil in the documentary, the one that kills people if eaten. They ate a whole basket of it yesterday."
Qin Siyue was shocked: "I thought my grandma was joking, but it turns out she really is eating dirt! Mom, didn't you stop her?"
"Eating is death, not eating is death, it's just a matter of two days earlier or later!"
After Chen Yunwei finished speaking, she lay down on the kang and said, "I, your mother, can't even take care of myself, how can I take care of others? Even if I say something, someone has to listen to me!"
Qin Siyue fell silent and continued to sit on the kang and sigh.
This life is so fucked up.
"Third son's wife, you stinky girl, what are you doing in the house? Fermenting manure? It's already noon and you still haven't gotten off the kang!"
Qin Siyue got off the bed in fear and put on his shoes. Even Chen Yunwei weakly shouted, "I know, Mom. I'll be right out."
But she was slow in her movements and complained to Qin Siyue in a low voice, "What do you think your grandma is thinking? She doesn't go to work and doesn't let me sleep a little longer.
Going out and doing activities doesn't consume energy, right?"
Qin Siyue smiled awkwardly: "Maybe it's because farmers are used to going to bed early and getting up early."
"Yeah, unlike us, we're always on our phones or computers. Occasionally, when we have some free time, we'd like to go to the night market and grab some skewers. Going to bed at 12 o'clock is considered early."
As he said this, he grabbed his hair twice, feeling that there was so much oil in it that it could be used to stir-fry a dish.
He made two disgusted "tsk tsk" sounds, rubbed his hands on the hem of his clothes, then opened the door and walked slowly into the main room.
I saw the whole family sitting obediently on the bench.
Chen Yunwei lazily called out "Mom", nodded to the others, and sat down in the empty seat.
Qin Siyue followed closely behind, greeted several elders, and then sat down in front of Chen Yunwei, glancing at the whole family out of the corner of his eye.
My uncle, Qin Jiandang, looked like an honest farmer, but his face was full of wrinkles and he looked worried.
My aunt Li Qiao has a lot of white hair on her head, her eyes are dull, and she looks very old.
My uncle and aunt have two sons, Qin Zheng and Qin Rong, one is nineteen years old and the other is seventeen years old.
Although the name sounds nice, he only managed to finish elementary school and now works as a farmer at home.
Second uncle Qin Jianjun looks very similar to eldest uncle Qin Jiandang, and he sits on the bench listlessly.
The only difference is probably that his belly is very big and he keeps rubbing it with his hands.
Second aunt Zhao Dandan looked obviously younger than eldest aunt Li Qiao. She was holding a boy and gently coaxing him, calling him "good boy" and "treasure".
Next to him were two girls who were even thinner than Qin Siyue, one was sixteen and the other fourteen, with dry and yellow hair, slender limbs, bulging bellies, thick calluses on their hands, and frostbite that had just scabbed over on their ears.
It is said that this family has an aunt who married a hunter and lives in the mountains. In the past two years, she often brought down rabbits, pheasants and other things from the mountains.
I don’t know what happened this year, he didn’t even come back for the Chinese New Year.
The old lady wanted to go to the mountains, but she didn't have the strength. She asked her two sons to go, but they kept refusing.
"Mom, what could have happened? It's probably because there's a drought in the mountains, and my brother-in-law can't find anything, so he won't come down!"
The old lady was flustered, but she had nothing to refute. It dragged on like this until Qin Siyue and the others came through.
At this moment, Qian Guihua saw that everyone was there. She cursed a few words, then picked up a wooden spoon and distributed food to everyone.
Logically speaking, with three daughters-in-law, it is never the old lady's turn to cook.
But the family was short of food, and the old lady was afraid that one of her daughters-in-law would steal her food and send it back to her parents' home.
Qian Guihua was in a terrible mood. Today's meal could be considered her last. She had been supporting the whole family for two or three years and could no longer hold on.
He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and distributed food to everyone.
