There is no shortage of food on the way to escape famine, and Miss Luck is busy farming

Chapter 7 How long has it been since I enjoyed family affection?

When they heard Qiao Erhe said that he wanted to go back to look for Li Cuihua, everyone in the Qiao family looked bad.

They all felt that the woman Li Cuihua was too vicious and they could just leave without risking their lives to find her.

However, for the sake of Lao Er and Xiaonan Xiaoxi, they didn't say anything.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Mrs. Qiao also felt uncomfortable in her heart.

After taking a deep breath, she spoke.

"Second brother, let's rest here tonight. If you are worried about your wife, go back and look for her along the road. Ranran said it was by the official road, so you should look for her in the woods on the roadside. Don't go into the mountains. , it’s dangerous at night. Whether you can find her or not, you have to come back before dawn. Don’t let us worry. I think your wife doesn’t want to live with us anymore. If she doesn’t come to us, don’t worry about her anymore. "

Although Mrs. Qiao doesn't like Li Cuihua, she is her son's mother-in-law and the mother-in-law of her two good grandsons.

The second brother wanted to go back to look for someone, and she couldn't stop her, but she had to remind her that Li Cuihua definitely couldn't bear the hardship and wanted to get some money to leave their Qiao family and live a better life.

When Qiao Erhe heard what his mother said, his nose felt sore.

"Mom, don't worry, I know. I'll go along the official road and look for it. If I find the intersection that Ran Ran mentioned, I'll come back if I still can't find it."

He also knew that his mother-in-law was not a good person. She often cheated on her at home and liked to make trouble. Her mother, brothers and nephews all disliked her.

However, she is also the biological mother of his two children!He couldn't let his two young children live without their mother's care at such a young age!

Qiao Erhe told the two children, then took a woodcutter and went back to look for the person.

Qiao Sanhu and Qiao Sihai were afraid that he would be in danger alone, so they wanted to follow him, but he stopped them.

There would be danger at any time on the way to escape, and he couldn't let his two younger brothers leave, leaving a bunch of old and young without anyone to take care of them.

"Second brother, then be careful! If you can't find anyone, come back. Maybe second sister-in-law will catch up by herself!"

Qiao Sanhu warned his second brother.

"I understand. You have to take good care of your mother and children, especially Ranran. Let her have a good rest and don't let her have another accident."

Qiao Erhe went to find a wife alone, while everyone else gathered around Qiao Ran.

"Sister, your courgette..."

The fourth child, Josie, stared at the courgette in her sister’s hand with bright eyes.

It looks fresh and tender, it must be delicious!
Qiao Ran wanted to hold her forehead, but why hasn't this issue passed yet?

She smiled awkwardly: "Well, maybe I accidentally grabbed a handful on the carriage before I fainted and caught it in my hand. Here, let's eat it for you."

As she spoke, she broke a long cucumber in her hand into six sections, one for each of her two brothers, three cousins ​​and one cousin.

A cucumber divided into six portions would not be much, but the six children, who had not eaten such fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time, were very happy.

Qiao Dong held a small piece of green courgette in his hand, swallowed, and handed the courgette to the eldest sister: "Sister, you are injured, you better eat it!" Several people were about to put the courgette into their mouths. When the little guy next to him saw this, he also swallowed his saliva and handed over the courgette in his hand: "Sister, you eat it!"

Qiao Ran was very moved, but she still shook her head: "You can eat it yourself. You are still young and have to grow up. There is still a long way to go. You must take good care of your body so that you will not be held back."

Qiao Dong felt that he was a grown-up and would not hold back, so he handed his courgette to grandma to eat.

Mrs. Qiao smiled and pushed back: "Your eldest sister gave it to you, so just eat it quickly! Ran Ran is right, you are still young, eat more to grow stronger."

The few little guys had no choice but to eat the courgette themselves in order not to hold back their body length.

Several adults looked at it and were very pleased.

"Third and fourth, while it's still dark, you take Dong'er and Nan'er to look for water and wild vegetables nearby to supplement your food rations. Guizhen, you're pregnant, so you shouldn't be tired. You have to look at a few things here. A child. Hui Niang, I’ll watch over Ran Ran. You go grab a handful of rice and cook a bowl of rice porridge for Ran Ran. She can’t eat wild vegetables now.”

Although the old lady of the Qiao family was in poor health, her mind was very clear. She issued instructions one after another, and everyone in the Qiao family began to execute them without any hesitation.

Qiao Ran looked at Mrs. Qiao in surprise. She didn't expect that at this time of escape, this old lady could still stay calm and arrange things in an orderly manner.

It seems that the days to come will not be too sad. With this capable grandmother here, she can worry a lot less.

"Ran Ran, don't be afraid. As a family, we will overcome any difficulties together."

Perhaps because Qiao Ran's gaze lingered for too long, Mrs. Qiao noticed her and stretched out her thin hand to gently stroke the top of her hair, gently and lovingly.

Qiao Ran's nose felt inexplicably sore, and a long-lost warm feeling enveloped her. Ever since her grandfather, with whom she was dependent, died when she was 18 in her previous life, she had lived alone in the small courtyard for two years.

Open up wasteland and farm by yourself, raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep by yourself, cook and eat by yourself, watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV by yourself...

Even if he got sick, he would give himself injections and take medicine to get through it on his own.

How long has it been since you enjoyed the warmth of family affection?
Qiao Ran thought of Chen Huiniang who used her thin body to protect her, and the loving old lady Qiao, and she felt a warm current welling up in her heart, which almost moved her to tears.

"Thank you grandma!"

Qiao Ran held Mrs. Qiao's hand in hers as if coquettishly, but actually put two fingers on the old lady's pulse, and then moved away calmly, already knowing the answer in her heart.

Mrs. Qiao is not actually very old. Women in this dynasty can get married and have children when they are 15 years old. Therefore, although Mrs. Qiao already has grandchildren, she is actually just over 50 years old.

Just because of years of hard work and no knowledge of maintenance, my face looks as old as six or seventy years old, and my body and bones are relatively weak.

But after checking her pulse, Qiao Ran knew that the old lady's body was just suffering from old diseases and there was nothing serious. As long as she took good medicine and took good care of herself, she could still live to be 90 or [-] years old like the old people in future generations.

The old man of the Qiao family has passed away. Mrs. Qiao is the backbone of the Qiao family and the center of cohesion for more than a dozen members of the Qiao family.

As long as Mrs. Qiao is here, the whole family can respect her and obey all her decisions, instead of becoming a mess due to their own selfishness.

Therefore, Qiao Ran decided to take good care of her grandma's health so that she could live a long life and lead Qiao's family through difficulties and prosper.
