Chapter 2277: Want food
Chapter 2277: Needing food
Zhang Tu shook his head: "There has been no enemy attack, but General Jiang gave a death order. All the thousands of households must rush to the camp as soon as possible, otherwise they will be beheaded in public. He also specifically told the generals that even adults cannot be exempted."
So if you want to delay leaving, it is impossible.
He asked again: "What are you worried about, sir?"
If you weren't worried about some life-or-death matter, you wouldn't have the intention to disobey military orders.
Qin Sanlang is really worried about one thing. It is not that his brothers at the guard station are asking for medicine or firewood, but that Xu You will come to ask for food!
"You go to eat first, and I will go back to the house. We will set off in half an hour." Qin Sanlang did not answer Zhang Tu's words, but got up and went back to the house.
Before entering the house, I first looked at a few water tanks outside the house... The water tanks placed in the morning were already covered with thick ice, and there were still marks on them from stones.
There were three more water tanks next to it. They should have been put in by Xiaoyu when he went out to see Zhang Tu... After only a few quarters of an hour, a thin layer of ice had already formed on the water. He used his hands to With a bang, it was bitingly cold.
"Are you stupid? You deliberately touched the ice water on a cold day, hoping to get frostbite?" Gu Jinli held an oil-paper umbrella to protect him from the snow, stood in front of the main house gate, looked at him and said, "Hurry home."
After Qin Sanlang heard this, a warmth rose in his heart, dispelling the coldness in his hands... He liked the feeling of Xiaoyu urging him to go home.
"Here we come." Qin Sanlang strode towards her, took the oil-paper umbrella and held it, put his arm around her waist, and said with a smile: "He even came out to pick me up. It seems he is very reluctant to let me go."
He added: "It's cold. Don't go out to pick me up in the wind and snow. Just wait at home for me to come back."
His favorite place to stay is at home with her, so there is no need to rush him, he will come home as soon as he has time.
"Okay." Gu Jinli smiled and went back to the main room with him. Before entering the room, he heard a humming sound.
The second wolf was lying on the fire bed in the outer room, crawling hard. Unfortunately, the cotton-padded jacket was too heavy, and he was pressed down so he couldn't move much. He was getting angry while using his strength, and tried to crawl forward.
The big wolf was cheering for his younger brother: "Uh-huh, uh-huh~"
Qin Sanlang was overjoyed: "Er Wolf can crawl? This boy has really good bones."
Although he was born almost a month prematurely, the second wolf is not like a premature child. Even the big wolf looks small in the first five months of his life. After five months, he is almost the same as a child born at full term. He is adopted. Got to be fat and white.
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "I don't know, anyway, I just wanted to go out and play. After I didn't carry him out, he moved on the kang. After moving for a long time, he climbed half of the kang."
"Ahhhhh!" The two wolves saw them and shouted loudly. Maybe they were angry because they couldn't get off the fire pit after crawling for a long time, and then they cried loudly: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Don’t stay in the house, go out and play.
Qin Sanlang laughed when he saw it. He went over to pick him up and coaxed him: "Don't worry, Erlang. When you grow up in a few months, you can walk and go out to play."
But the two wolves refused to do anything and howled and cried.
Having no other choice, Qin Sanlang could only pull off a swaddling quilt, wrap him up, and carry him to the corridor to let him watch the snow.
“Ouch!” The second wolf was so excited when he saw Xue that he fluttered in his father’s arms. Then he went to look at the big wolf on the kang and shouted at him, wanting his brother to come see Xue together.
Qin Sanlang: "Xiaoyu, take the big wolf out and let him see the snow. It's okay. The wind is light now. Wrap him up and go out to watch for a while. He won't catch the cold."
He added: "I did some exercises to keep out the cold when I was a child, and even slept in the snow. Once I got used to it, I wasn't afraid of the cold anymore."
Wrapped tightly and sleeping in a box, you won’t really get cold, and your body can slowly adapt to the cold.
Gu Jinli knows medical skills and knows that training can indeed enhance the body's ability to withstand cold. "Okay." She responded, wrapped the big wolf tightly, took it out, and let the two brothers watch the snow on the porch.
The two little guys were so happy that they kept squealing.
But after only watching for half a quarter of an hour, he took them back to the house.
But the two little guys were not happy with it and wanted to go out to watch the snow.
“Everything should be done in moderation, don’t be greedy for too much.” After Qin Sanlang taught them, he went out and made two wolf snowmen out of snow, and stood in front of the window for the two little guys to see, which made them very happy.
The two brothers lay on the kang together, holding their little heads high, looking at the wolf and snowman on the window, howling and talking in baby language that adults could not understand.
Gu Jinli smiled and asked Qin Sanlang: "Are you leaving?"
Definitely, otherwise I wouldn’t have done so many things. I feel guilty and want to do more for the children before I leave.
Qin Sanlang nodded: "Yes."
He waved his hand and asked Nanny Yu to go down first with the nannies.
After the servants left, Gu Jinli asked: "What are you worried about? Tell me."
Qin Sanlang: "If the extreme cold falls suddenly, at least half of the food in the field will be lost. Xu You knows about our cassava planting. I'm worried that Xu You will order us to hand over food."
He added: "It was Xiaoyu who first suggested that cassava could be used as food. It was also Xiaoyu who came up with the method of removing toxins from cassava. He even took the risk to try it for two years. Even if we have to pay for the food, we cannot give this credit to the Xu family. "
Food is the most important thing for the people, especially during times of disaster. Food is everyone’s life. It’s okay to use food to save people’s lives, but the credit must be from their side, and Xu You cannot be cheap!
Xu You is powerful and can be called the king of the northwest. If they don't come up with a perfect way to break the situation, even if the big guys know that cassava comes from their family and they get the credit, Xu You will kill them!
What Qin Sanlang wanted was that Guo Lao, Xiaoyu, mother and son were safe and sound.
However, he tried many ways, but couldn't solve the problem perfectly... It's just because when they first planted cassava, Xu You ordered them not to reveal the matter about cassava.
If he hired an outsider to act to break the situation, Xu You would definitely suspect that he had hired someone to do it, and then his family would be in danger, and even the people who helped them play the game would be in danger.
"Is this why you can't go to Duchonggou with confidence?" Gu Jinli smiled: "The soldiers will block the water and cover up the soil. You can go to Duchonggou with confidence. If Xu You sends people to ask for food, I will drag them and send people to call you. Come back, my child and I will be fine anyway, and they won’t dare to take us, mother and son, to Daokougou Camp for food.”
But…
"I'm afraid that the credit for growing cassava will be taken away." Qin Sanlang didn't want Gu Jinli to lose this credit, so he would give her everything she deserved.
Gu Jinli smiled: "The contribution of cassava to food production is indeed great. If the Xu family takes away the contribution, I will really be disgusted. But now that the Xu family is powerful, we can only avoid the edge for the time being. When the Xu family becomes weak, it is time to If it’s ours, his family must return it!”
The Cao family knows about the cassava matter, and Uncle Cao is an extremely smart man. If the Xu family is weak, he will definitely tell the truth and return their credit to them.
Gu Jinli: "Save your life first, and then take credit later. This is the best and wisest way at the moment. Don't bother thinking of ways to break the situation, just do this first."
Life is the most important, save your life first.
