Chapter 719 Escape 24
A young man said, "Oh, maybe it's true. During those few days of escaping, I had an urgent need to urinate at night. I got up and wanted to find a place to pee. I accidentally... I saw Mr. Du and Mr. Fan secretly talking about something. The little girl from the Fan family was the one who disappeared the night before. "
"Oh my God, it was thundering that day, no wonder Mr. Du. People at home will also be shocked They were all chopped up. The old Du family and the old Fan family had long colluded together to do nothing. Tsk tsk tsk. It’s a good thing that these two beasts were struck to death by lightning. Otherwise, they might have been killed if they came back to the village. How many people are there?”
"Geng Dazhuang and Du Jincui were implicated by them, right?"
"What implicated them for? Du Jincui is also a member of the old Du family, and she deserves to die."
In the morning, the villagers came to the brigade headquarters to collect tools. Everyone was talking about it. Yuanchun made a sad expression and stood in the middle of the team.
Behind her was Mrs. Zhu. She consoled her, "Sister Geng, don't be sad. It's difficult for people to live in this world. It would be a blessing for a strong couple to leave early."
Go this time On the way to escape famine, seven elderly people and 11 children and six women starved to death in Fengling Village. The children who starved to death were all girls. The family favored boys over girls and was reluctant to give food to the girls. The girls were already malnourished. He died within a few days.
The women who died were all beaten to death by their mothers-in-law at home. On the way to escape from famine, their husbands’ family members did not give them food and they starved to death.
Maybe it was because too many people died in the village, and few people in the village sympathized with Yuanchun.
Only the neighbors who were good friends with Yuanchun would care about her and comfort her.
Yuan Chun lamented, "Everyone is dead, and I, a mother, didn't even see him for the last time. I regret it. If I had known that my family would be so short-lived, I shouldn't have gone home first." , I stay in the team, anyway I can see Da Zhuang for the last time."
"Sister Geng, please give me my condolences."
"I'm fine, it's just that my heart is a little clogged. It will be fine in a few days." Chest, eyes a little red.
In today's work, half of the people plowed the ground and the other half planted radishes. Yuanchun, as an old man, got the job of sowing radish seeds.
This is a light job, six work points.
Yuan Chun received a cloth bag a little bigger than a palm, which contained half a bag of radish seeds.
The work of the Geng family was arranged in a piece of land. Geng Dalin plowed the ground to make ditches, Yuanchun sown radish seeds, and Sun Chunfeng gathered the soil. The three of them did most of the work in the morning.
At noon, the three of them left work. Geng Dalin went to the brigade headquarters to hand in farm tools. Yuan Chun and Sun Chunfeng went home to cook first. However, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home, they saw Geng Xiaowu and three little girls. All the meals have been prepared.
A pot of thick rice porridge, a plate of cold fungus, and a small plate of pickles cut into thick strips.
"Xiao Wu, are these the meals you cooked?" Sun Chunfeng asked in surprise.
Sun Chunfeng was very happy that he didn’t have to cook and had food to eat when he got home.
Geng Xiaowu blushed and said sheepishly, "I have boiled the fungus in water, but I don't know how to mix it with vegetables. Xiaoyu mixed the fungus. I have tasted it and it is a bit salty."
"Salty food is okay, porridge and salty food are just right." Yuanchun looked at his five grandchildren and smiled. He praised, "You are all good children, you know how to help adults with work, you are all good, but you must be careful when cutting vegetables with a knife, don't cut your fingers, and be careful when lighting a fire. Be careful not to let sparks escape from the stove pit and cause a fire.”
