They finally managed to hunt for food on their own.
Ji Fengshou happily returned to a resting place carrying the rabbit he had been given.
Mrs. Hu was delighted when she saw this: "We have meat to eat tonight!"
"Of course I'm so smart, there's no reason why I shouldn't have what others have!" Ji Fengshou boasted.
He used a lot of clever ideas when digging the trap this time, otherwise how could he have gotten a whole rabbit.
Zhou looked unhappy: "You promised to let me go last time, you lied!"
Ji Fengshou handed the rabbit to Mrs. Hu and took Mrs. Zhou's hand. "When have I ever lied to you? Shouldn't we act together? You said that other families have men go, so how embarrassing it would be if you went with us? Don't worry, I'll remember this. Sooner or later, I will definitely take you hunting! Just the two of us."
Ji Changchuan pulled Ji Changying and whispered, "Dad is lying to Mom again."
Ji Changying lowered her voice: "This is called empty talk."
Ji Changchuan was just about to ask what "painting a pie in the sky" meant when he was blocked by someone in front of him.
Ji Qingyu handed half a chicken to Ji Changying: "Thank you for saving my mother last time and teaching her about things."
Before, their family couldn't even come up with a decent thank you gift, so they never had the courage to come and thank us.
I just got this half chicken today, and Liu urged me to take it over.
"It's just a matter of convenience. No need to thank me specially."
Ji Changying glanced at the half chicken and wanted to eat it.
But they had worked so hard to get some food, so they didn't want to just take it.
"Is this half a chicken my thanks for saving my life?" Ji Mingxue asked with a smile.
Ji Qingyu said solemnly, "Of course not! This little bit is not enough to express our gratitude. It's just that conditions are limited now, so I'm just offering a small token of my gratitude."
"That's it! More debts are better than nothing. We can deal with it later when we have the conditions. Right now, staying healthy and alive is more important than anything else."
Although the expression on Ji Mingxue's face looked a little frivolous, what he said made some sense.
Ji Mingxuan also nodded: "Brother Ji, there is no need to be so anxious. Just take care of the family for now."
Although Ji Minghao didn't say anything, he nodded to express his approval of his brothers.
Ji Qingyu couldn't help but tighten the half chicken in his hand.
"Hurry back and stew it. We have mushrooms today, and chicken stewed with mushrooms is so delicious."
After Ji Changying said that, Ji Qingyu glanced at her and happened to see her swallowing her saliva, which made him laugh.
But he didn't refuse and went back with the chicken.
"Let's check the tasks I assigned yesterday." Ji Mingxuan turned around and smiled at his younger brothers and sisters.
Ji Mingxue's face was filled with pain. "I think, since studying is useless for us now, I think Aying has more room for improvement. Why don't you teach her well, big brother? And supervise Xiaochuan and Minghao at the same time. As for me, isn't it enough for me to just learn to read... don't you agree?"
Ji Mingxuan chuckled: "What do you think?"
Ji Changchuan glanced at Ji Mingxue, and seeing his elder brother's obedient face, he said, "Brother, I will recite to you what you taught us yesterday! There is a fox, swaying on the Qiliang River. My heart is filled with worry, and my son has no clothes..."
Ji Mingxuan listened to Ji Changchuan's recitation with satisfaction, and looked at Ji Mingxue: "It's your turn."
"Brother! Dear brother! We are exhausted during the day, and you want to torture me at night. Can you bear it?"
"Stop talking so much here. Learning is endless and if you don't make progress you will regress. You can't give up on yourself just because of your temporary situation! Even Xiaochuan knows how to work hard, but you're an adult and you're not even as good as a child?" Ji Mingxuan looked at him fiercely.
Ji Mingxue glared at Ji Changchuan with an expression that said 'you're hurting me'.
Ji Changchuan gave him a provocative smile.
Ji Changying grinned and laughed.
Serves you right!
Who asked the second brother to drag her into this, saying that she had a lot of room for improvement? Doesn't this mean that she is uneducated and can't do anything?
A few little ones are competing with each other here, and the aroma of meat is wafting in the air.
Ji Changying had just written a few large characters on the ground under Ji Mingxuan's supervision when Old Huang came running over: "Hey, I'm an old man here to ask for a meal."
"Please sit down, old lady. I'll go ask my mother if everything is ready." Ji Mingxuan greeted her politely and went to ask Mrs. Hu.
Ji Changying was very unhappy: "What's wrong? You have nothing to eat? How dare you eat ours."
It’s not easy to get something, this old man is so kind.
"As long as you are thick-skinned enough, there is nothing you can't eat!" Old Huang was not angry, but stroked his beard with a smile.
Ji Changying curled her lips.
"But I, an old man, have prepared a piece of news to exchange for food with you. How about it? That's quite nice, isn't it?"
"What news?"
"Do you know what these people on the road today are doing?"
Ji Changying remained calm: "What do you do?"
Huang Lao came over mysteriously and said, "The dikes in the upper and middle reaches of the Lijiang River ahead have all burst! I heard that many houses and food supplies were washed away, and these people are all escaping."
"I'm reminding you to quickly prepare more water and food. The water won't be drinkable as we move forward, and there will be more and more people on the road, so you have to be vigilant."
Mr. Huang spoke in a joking tone at first, but when he finished speaking, his expression became much more serious.
He didn't have much food left to buy.
Ji Changying looked at Mr. Huang and felt a little warm in her heart.
Although the two often quarrel with each other, they are still reliable teammates at critical moments.
"Thank you for the reminder." For the first time, Ji Changying looked at Mr. Huang seriously with a sincere smile on his face.
She smiled directly at Mr. Huang, her whole face bathed in the sunlight looking very lively.
Huang Laotu's face darkened. "What are you laughing at? What girl would smile like you, showing her big buck teeth? You have no image at all! Send the meal to me when it's ready. Don't try to fool me when I'm not around!"
Ji Changying looked at his angry back and her face darkened: "You are in menopause! Why are you giving me such a cold face for no reason?"
Without even stopping, Mr. Huang rushed back to the carriage, opened the curtain, grabbed the teapot in the carriage and drank it directly from his mouth.
Xie Siheng put down the book and looked at him with a frown: "What's wrong?"
Mr. Huang's face looked unhappy. He put the teapot heavily on the table beside him and said, "Nothing!"
From the moment he started drinking tea, Xie Siheng's eyebrows never relaxed: "Remember to buy me a new teapot next time."
Mr. Huang was so angry that he jumped up and down: "What do you mean! Do you think I'm dirty? I won't buy it for you. You'll die of thirst!"
Xie Siheng chose to ignore such childish behavior, continued to pick up the book in his hand, and slowly turned a page.
This attitude immediately angered Old Huang: "You really are Bai Yufang's descendant, you're just as heartless as her!"
Xie Siheng paused: "Do you know my grandmother?"
"snort!"
Mr. Huang opened the curtain and got out of the car.
This behavior is almost the default.
Xie Siheng seemed to be lost in thought. Could it be that there was some conflict between the two of them?
But for him, he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
