Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 14 Want to Swap
"Da Lang, Er Niang, and You Niang, come and eat!" Xu Da greeted the children, not wanting to talk to Wang Shi.

Different ways do not conspire with each other, as long as his life is not threatened, why should he worry so much?

It's really as if he was so idle, he didn't eat all morning, and he had a group fight just now, his chest was stuck to his back from the hunger.

"Oh~" Xu Da couldn't help but sighed, when will this hard time end!
Mrs. Wang took out the remaining rice bran balls in the back basket, one for each person, and with the porridge that Xu Da snatched so thin that the grains of rice could be counted, the whole family of five was full.

After filling his stomach and recovering his strength, Wang picked up the homemade bow and arrow and looked at the dense woods around him, ready to go for a walk in the woods.

"You stay and take care of the children. There are a lot of grass stalks beside you. Think about it and make a few pairs of straw sandals to replace."

Wang naturally assigned tasks to the cheap husband, full of dislike.

Xu Da stared, pointed at Tong and the others who were nursing the child not far away, and growled:
"Mr. Wang, don't go too far. Who do you see old men staying to watch their children make straw sandals?"

Wang said "Oh" and glanced at him, "Do you know how to hunt?"

"I..." Xu Da choked, he knew how to kill spirit beasts, and could even count out the characteristics and weaknesses of each spirit beast.

But he had never seen any of these mortal animals!
But if you think about it, they are all beasts, so they should be similar.

Xu Dazheng was about to say that I can do it too, but Mrs. Wang had already walked out. From a distance, there was a teasing voice:
"You are so small that even a pheasant can't move you. You should save your strength to make straw sandals for me. With my old lady around, I won't be able to starve you."

Look at what he said, as if he was pointing at her to beg for food, could it be that he didn't find the pot of porridge just now?

Xu Da's chest heaved violently, he didn't know whether it was from shame or anger, his face was flushed red, a redness that could still be seen through his dark skin.

Especially when he felt the strange gaze cast by Wang Dayou and others, Xu Da wished he could catch up and hack Wang to death.

The tall image he had built up among the villagers through hard work was gone!
However, after the battle with the victims of other villages just now, everyone in Dawang Village knew that Mr. Xu was a tough guy, so they couldn't help laughing even if they wanted to.

It's just that sympathetic eyes always take special care of Xu Da.

Xu Yue took the last sip of porridge and put the bowl into the earthenware pot. She didn't dare to offend the cheap father who was emitting air-conditioning, so she silently called her sister, and the two sisters took the pot and bowl to the pond to wash it clean.

Xu Dalang followed closely behind, protecting his sister's safety.

When the people of Dawang Village saw Mrs. Wang entering the mountain, they followed them one after another, probably because they wanted to find some food to fill their stomachs in the forest.

Even if you can't catch prey, it's good to have a few handfuls of young leaves and a handful of wild fruits.

For a while, only women and children were left in the open space. Tong led her daughter and carried her son on her back, searching for something in the grass, probably to find some wild duck eggs and the like for the children to eat.

Her son, who is less than one year old, only drank half a bowl of gruel just now, and he was not full yet, so hungry that he cried.

The sound was like a kitten meowing, softly but without stopping.

Tong felt distressed, so she had to untie him from his back, lift up his clothes and feed him.

As for Laoshizi's morality and defense, these desperadoes who can't afford to eat can't afford to pay attention to it.

The little guy had something in his mouth, so he stopped crying immediately and sucked in big mouthfuls.

It's just long-term malnutrition, Tong's milk has long been gone, the little guy can't suck milk, and soon started crying softly.

The crying of this family caused a chain reaction, and the child in Qiu's arms also cried.

It's all because of hunger.

Adults can bear it, but children don't know how to bear it, let alone a baby who can't even speak, and can only express his needs by crying.

Xu Da's head got dizzy when he heard it, and suddenly he felt that the three children in his family were very cute.

However, just as he was holding the sickle and was about to look for usable grass stalks according to the residual memory of the original body, when he turned around, he saw a little girl standing behind him.

Maybe he didn't expect him to turn around suddenly, and the little girl was frightened and took a half step back.

This girl, Xu Da knew, was the eldest daughter of Wang Dayou's family, a very sensible doll, who followed the adults all the way and never saw her cry.

The little man has a big head and a small body. He is barefoot and is covered with an old adult clothes that don't fit well. His two big eyes just stare at him. There is a basket of food hidden at his feet.

The three Xu Yue brothers and sisters came back after washing the pots and bowls, and saw their father staring at a little girl.

Xu Dayi saw Xu Yue three, as if he had seen a savior, he was not good at dealing with children, so he quickly gave Xu Yue a wink, decisively picked up the sickle and skipped Mrs. Wang's family, and went to mow the grass.

Xu Erniang bumped Xu Yue's shoulder with her elbow, and motioned for her to go over and ask what the little girl was doing.

Xu Yue put down the pots and bowls, comforted the "bodyguard" Xu Dalang first, and then walked towards Aunt Wang's family.

Maybe because they were all children, Mrs. Wang was much more courageous and took two steps forward.

Before Xu Yue could ask, she stretched her hand into the skirt of her clothes.

You won't draw your gun, will you?

Xu Yue couldn't help but convince herself of the thoughts that flew through her mind. After watching too many police and gangster movies, the sequelae were a bit serious.

In Daqing's backward ancient times, it is impossible to have a gun. What the little girl took out was a white stone.

The size of a baby's fist, it is oily and shiny, and it can be seen that its owner has been holding it for a long time.

Xu Yue thought it was a piece of jade at first, but then she remembered that Dawang Village was about the same level as her own village, and it was impossible for anyone to afford jade.

Taking two steps forward, seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't object, Xu Yue took the stone into her hands and looked at it against the light.

It is an ordinary white stone, precisely called white flint, which contains silicon and can produce sparks under high-speed collisions, so it is also called flint.

But it is not the same species as the ancient flint and steel.

Because the color is beautiful, with crystals in the white, Xu Yue remembers that when she was a child at her grandma's house in the countryside, she and the children in the village often picked up such stones to play with them.

But obviously, Mrs. Wang regarded it as a treasure.

She whispered: "My brother is crying from hunger, can I exchange it for food with you? This is my only treasure."

It could be seen that she was very reluctant to take out her baby, but thinking of her brother who was crying from hunger, she decided to give it away.

Xu Yue felt that the girl in front of her, who was thinner than herself, was different from the numb-eyed children around her. Her eyes were bright.

Most importantly, she already knew the concept of equivalent exchange, so she chose to exchange her baby for food.

It's just about the food, Xu Yue can't control it, she still has to point to A Niang to eat.
