Chapter 27 Food Is Running Out

As for what her adopted sons would think, it was not within her consideration.

"Grandma, Yaya will help you."

"Good boy, go sit on the bed and play. When you grow up, help grandma with work."

Bai Yunxi rubbed Yaya's head, complaining that she had accepted the title of grandma, and smiled at Yaya more kindly.

Later, she asked Mrs. Du to ask the clan which family had hatched chicks, and the few chicks she brought back to raise them, and laid eggs for Yaya to replenish her body.

On the first day of sleeping in the shack, Bai Yunxi thought she would have insomnia, but she slept until dawn.

Listening to the noise outside, Mrs. Du had already gotten up to prepare the meal.

Bai Yunxi got up and touched her wrapped head. The dizziness from getting up had disappeared. Later, she had to thank Dr. Yang for the herbs she gave her.

The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to sign in. The total points were only four, and the redeemable item store was still gray.

In addition to the sign-in points, she didn't get any transformation points for the bear kids.

After washing his face, Bai Yunxi walked over to Mrs. Du who was busy in the kitchen.

"Mrs. Du, all the food has been used up. You have to eat enough because you are doing physical work. Anchen will earn rice in the evening. It's enough to have another meal."

"Mother, I have prepared it. The dry food for the official is also ready. No matter how bad it is, he is still her husband. If he hurts his body, she will suffer.

Since the death of the old scholar, the family has rarely eaten dry rice.

Two pots of cabbage stewed with lard and a pot of dry rice were eaten up, without a mouthful of soup.

Bai Anchen was reluctant, but under the urging of his mother and the supervision of Bai Anyi, he had to get up and go to the dock.

Watching the eldest and the fourth son set off with dry food, Bai Yunxi waved to his second son,

"Okay, you also prepare farm tools and go to the slope of the back mountain to open up wasteland. Let's get moving. How much food we can get next year depends on how much wasteland we can open up. ”

“Don’t worry, mother. We will try our best.”

Bai Anyan directed his wife, carrying a hoe, a shovel, and a head for digging tree roots. The fifth son, Bai Ansheng, carried water. The three of them set out for the back mountain together.

Du rubbed her hands and looked at Bai Yunxi in embarrassment, “Mother, there is no food at home. What about the second brother’s lunch?”

“I’ll find a way to solve this. Go to the third grandmother’s house and see if her old hen is brooding again? First, bring back five chicks and raise them. When they lay eggs, change them for salt. Remember to call people at the door, don’t go in.”

Although it is not a hard and fast rule not to visit the door during the warm mourning period, many people are taboo about this.

The third grandmother is her aunt. From the time the old scholar fell ill to his death, the third grandmother’s family has been worried about them a lot, and they are also the clan members who show the most kindness to them.

Most of the Bai family are related, and they are not out of the five mournings.

“Hey, mother, I know. I’ll go ask now. "

Mrs. Du took off her apron, went into the house and changed into dark clothes, and carried a bamboo basket into the village.

"Grandma, what are we doing?" Yaya stood beside Bai Yunxi, looking up at her.

"Yaya and grandma are going to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables, otherwise we will be hungry at noon."

Bai Yunxi pinched Yaya's little nose, found a basket, took a sickle and a small shovel, a bundle of hemp rope, led her granddaughter, and set off to the back mountain.

Since she became the wife of a juren, she had never been to the fields or the back mountain, except for going to the town and the county to buy things. Wild vegetables rarely appeared on the dinner table at home.
