four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 16 Bought food

When Jin Laibao heard that Yuanbao would be rewarded for catching a fish, he hurried forward to catch it.

"Nai, what about us? Do we have any rewards? I want a small wooden sword. I can buy it after my family has enough food!"

Jin Laibao's watery eyes also looked at Miao.

But the brat was not as lovable as the fragrant little girl Yuanbao, so Miao pushed Jin Laibao away without saying a word.

As a result, several other grandsons also gathered around.

"I want a small windmill"

"I want to buy two flowers." Jin Duobao from the third bedroom said shyly.

Mrs. Miao looked at Jin Duobao, her fourth grandson: "You are a little man, what do you want to do with your hair?"

Jin Duobao glanced at Yuanbao shyly and said, "Give it to my sister."

"Okay, grandma agrees to your wish. When the famine years are over and our family's situation eases, grandma will buy you two flowers and let you give them to your sister. Hahahaha..."

Miao laughed so hard that she could hardly breathe.

Although the family situation is not good, the good news is that the eight grandchildren are well-behaved, sensible, and healthy.

It is truly a blessing to have children, grandchildren, and all the furniture in your house.

Jin Laibao grasped the trick of begging for gifts and hurriedly asked: "Grandma, where is my little wooden sword? I want the little wooden sword to practice martial arts and protect my sister!"

"You're already a skinny monkey, and you still practice martial arts? It's good if you don't cause trouble. Don't make trouble. If you make trouble again, grandma will spank you!"

Miao raised his hand and feinted a shot to scare Jin Laibao.

But as soon as she raised her hand, she heard Zou's voice: "Mom, did Lai Bao make you angry again? Don't be angry, I'll beat him."

Zou is the second daughter-in-law and the mother of Jin Laibao.

Seeing Mrs. Zou, Mrs. Miao looked at the basket in her hand again, opened it and saw that the food inside was still good.

Immediately, Mrs. Miao's joy in teasing her grandson disappeared, and she frowned and asked with her eyebrows that were about to fall out. "Second daughter-in-law, why haven't you eaten this meal? Didn't you see your father? What happened to them?"

It’s no wonder that Miao’s tone was full of tears as she spoke. It was really a year of famine that left no one with a way to survive.

All the food in the fields is gone. Not only the food merchants are taking advantage of the situation, but also the gangsters and scoundrels are coming out to start looting.

It is not uncommon for people to be robbed of their money by beggars or gangsters while queuing up to buy food. It is not uncommon for people and money to be lost.

Every time her wife and sons went to the town to queue up to buy food, Miao was always worried, fearing she would be in bad luck.

Zou's mind was filled with thoughts of Jin Laibao making Miao angry and having to beat him up, and completely forgot about the real thing.

After being reminded by Miao, he quickly put down his hand, let go of Jin Laibao, and helped Miao sit down.

"Mom, please rest assured that dad and eldest brother are fine," Zou said.

Mrs. Miao pointed to the food basket, "Then why are you not eating this meal? Saving food won't mean saving so much."

Zou explained: "Mom, you misunderstood. Dad and the others didn't have time to eat, so he sent me to bring the food back and tell you the good news."

"good news?"

What good news is there in this famine year? Good people are the greatest good news.

Seeing Zou's smile, Mrs. Miao slowly let go of the big stone in her heart.

After waving to Jin Laibao and the others to take Yuanbao to play, he took Zou to ask a few questions in detail.

The smile on Mrs. Zou's face: "Mom, dad and eldest brother have bought food! Do you think this is good news for our family?"

The Jin family's rice vat has reached its bottom, and the food in it can only make rice soup for three more days at most.

At this juncture, the men bought rice outside, which made the whole family's five-viscera temple easier to endure.
