C2 The Great Plan of Human Livelihoods

The villagers saw that there was nothing left to see, so they each shook their heads and left while laughing.

When there was no one at the edge of the river, Lady Ma held Lee Qiqiao's hand and looked her up and down. After confirming that she was fine, she sighed and praised her. All thanks to you, I used to make you endure and endure. But now, it seems that you still have to resist this shameless old fogey. Oh right, what happened to Chun Wa? This child is the same. The boss was sick three days ago. I really don't know how that little guy got so weak. "Come, let's take a look at my grandson."

The woman led Lee Qiqiao into the house. Arriving at the house, she looked around to make sure that there was no one around, then quickly took out two large tubers from her inside pocket and stealthily put them into Lee Qiqiao's hands, "Daniu, these are the wild stalks that I dug up from the wild today, come and eat them later. Sigh, I have to keep a close eye on the house, if not I can bring you all the loot. "There are so many of them. I'm afraid there might be seven or eight of them. What a pity …"

"Mother …" Lee Qiqiao naturally called out for her mother, feeling her heart warm.

In her previous life, she lost her mother at the age of five. His father even made an excuse to go out to work and never came back. Until he transmigrated, other than the old man who doted on him, there were no other family members at home.

Although living a new life was difficult, but to have a mother was not too bad. Moreover, this mother truly doted on him from the bottom of her heart. Lee Qiqiao was overjoyed as she intimately rubbed against Lady Ma.

Lady Ma didn't expect her daughter to act coquettishly to her when she grew up. She was stunned for a moment. But soon after, he chuckled. "That wrinkled face smiled like a flower." "Girl …" This girl also learned... "You're acting like a spoiled child …" The mother and daughter were laughing foolishly at each other when a man's angry shout came from outside the house.

"Ma Chun Hua, go back and dig the ground for firewood!"

This voice sent chills down Lee Qiqiao's spine when she heard it … He raised his head to look at the source of the sound and met the source with a fierce gaze!

When Lady Ma heard the scream, she panicked a little. Looking at Lee Qiqiao biting her lips and staring at her ice-cold hands, she felt an indescribable ache in her heart. She arduously patted her hand. "Don't blame your father. He … he's not easy either …"

Lee Qiqiao slowly let go of Lady Ma's hand and lowered her head as she whispered, "Mother, I saved it. All these years, it has been hard at home because of me." "Go home, I'll take care of Chun Wa."

Lady Ma looked at the eldest daughter, who was obviously a bit distant. She still wanted to say a few more words, but the man outside roared again, "Ma Chun Hua, if you still don't get out of here, I'll show you what I can do for you."

"It's here, it's here." Lady Ma didn't dare to stay any longer. She patted her body and quickly ran out.

Outside, a man with a walking stick was glaring at Lady Ma. "When she was right in front of him, the man raised his crutch and hit her with it." I told you to be lazy, I told you to come visit that jinx if you had nothing to do! "

"Father, stop hitting me, I'm going to work, I'm going …"

"Damned woman, what's so special about a money-losing deal …"

The noisy noise gradually faded away. Only then did Lee Qiqiao begin to size up everything in the room. How was this a house!

There were several big holes in the roof, and one of the four mud walls. The big hole was temporarily blocked by a pile of firewood, which prevented the wind from leaking into the house. The door was also crooked, but when he mentioned it, he realized that it was not secure at all.

A few wooden shelves were propped up against the wall of the house, covered with some hay. A skinny child was curled up in a ball in the innermost corner of the room. When the child saw Lee Qiqiao, he shyly reached out to hug her with tears streaming down his face. "Mother …" Perhaps it was because she was too thin, but the child's eyes were especially big. Her eyes were covered by tears. That pitiful appearance of Lee Qiqiao's made Lee Qiqiao's heart turn into a cudgel.

Lee Qiqiao no longer had the time to look around the room, she rushed forward to pick up the child, "Chun Wa, Mother Chun Wa …" Tears rolled down his face. She knew that this was the feeling of her previous self.

In her previous life, she had never raised a child, but this body still had an instinctive maternal reaction when it saw the child.

"Mother, eggs …" Gone … "Howl …" As the little fellow spoke, it gently rubbed itself against Lee Qiqiao's chest, wetting it with a stream of hot, sticky liquid.

"Chun Wa, don't cry, don't cry. Mom will think of a way to make you eat an egg." The little fellow sobbed until Lee Qiqiao wanted to cry as well. How poor must be the land, two eggs can make the child's tears.

"Really?" Lee Qiqiao's eyes, which had been washed by tears, were exceptionally bright. Lee Qiqiao's nose was slightly sour when she looked at them, and her waist was flat and straight as she said, "I will, I will. Mother, think of a way to make my dog eat a bowl of eggs, then throw another bowl of eggs. We have eggs, we're willful."

"Huh?" Doggie stared at his mother in confusion. "Don't fall …" The little guy shook his head and swung his legs, looking very anxious, which made Lee Qiqiao happy, "If you don't want to fall, then don't. We'll leave everything for the dogs to eat." The dogs are playing here, and Mother is going to cook. "

"Alright …" After the child answered with a crisp sound, she obediently climbed back onto the bed, sucked on her fingers, and happily watched Lee Qiqiao light a fire to cook.

Fortunately, there was a fire in the pit, and it only took a few dry weeds to ignite the fire.

However, after searching the entire room, he realized that there was nothing else but the two stalks that his original mother had given him. Salt and oil are essential things, no.

In the entire kitchen, other than a spatula that was slightly worn out, a patched iron pot, two missing pottery bowls, and two pairs of randomly folded branches as chopsticks … Beside him, there was nothing. This... Is it really home!?

"This family is really poor." She turned around and looked at the thin and weak child who had buried his head powerlessly to pull the weeds. She understood a little why the second egg was stolen, and why the child would be so sad and cry. He reckoned that even if this old family didn't care about money, they wouldn't be able to get even one egg a year!

"Mother, I'm hungry …"

The two year old child was now able to express his desire to be hungry. Hearing the sound of hunger, Lee Qiqiao accelerated the movement of her hands. He hardened his heart and cooked the two tubers.

This was similar to the summer in his previous life. If there were seasonings or something like that, he would be able to make the food taste better. Unfortunately, the materials were too limited. No matter how skilled she was in cooking, Lee Qiqiao could only do whatever she wanted to cook.

The little guy was small and thin, but he had eaten most of the cooked food. Even though she was full, her big eyes were still fixed on Lee Qiqiao's bowl.

Lee Qiqiao felt her heart ache again. However, he did not give it to the child to eat. It was not because he was stingy, but because if he was given it again, the child would most likely be full. The reason why the little fellow would stare at him even after eating was because it normally did not see any meat and did not have any oil in its stomach.

"Chun Wa, mother will let you eat your fill in the future. Let you have books, clothes, and toys to play with …"

The little guy opened his eyes wide. "Toy? A book? " How could the current him understand these things?

"Yes, there will be. "At this moment, mom is going to the mountain to look for food. Can you play with Xiu'er now?"

Upon hearing Xiu'er, Chun Wa reached out his hand and said, "OK."

Xiu'er, the old woman from Jue Hu who was kicked out next door.

According to the memories of his previous life, Granny Liu had adopted a lost little girl a few years ago. The two of them had always lived outside of this village, relying on each other to survive.

Ever since he moved here, he got along well with Granny Liu. As both families had children, and both families had troubles, their wives were chased away by the family. So it was normal for them to help each other.

When they arrived at Granny Liu's home, the four-year-old Xiu'er came to take Chun Wa's hand with a smile.

Granny Liu looked at Lee Qiqiao and nodded. She did not say much.

Lee Qiqiao knew that although her original body had interacted with Granny Liu because of their child, that was only interacting with her. His original body didn't like to talk, and it was also dull.

"Grandma, I'll go up the mountain and see if there's anything to eat. I'll pick up Chun Wazi at home later."

When Granny Liu heard that she was going up the mountain, she slowed her steps and raised her wrinkled eyes. "No one dares to go up the mountain …"

His tone was bitter. Although this place was located in the Sancha Mountain, it was still a place to rely on the mountains. However, there were many wild beasts in the mountain, so no one dared to go any deeper.

Because of this, the villagers had to go out and gather firewood. It was risky that they could live here, not in the village. This was because the distance from here to the mountain was not too far. Normally, he would be on alert when he slept.

"I know. With Chun Wa, I won't mess around. But there's nothing to eat at home, and the baby is coughing. I have to find something. "

Granny Liu bit her lips and shook her head. "Go on, be careful."

"Yes."

After answering, Lee Qiqiao carried the simple bamboo basket from her home, as well as the scythe that was more than half worn, and set off up the mountain in search of food. Her thoughts were very realistic. If she really couldn't find food, she could just find some dry firewood and go home to heat up.

Spring had just come, and the ground was freezing cold at the moment. However, there were also some places with verdant grass leaves.

Thanks to her family being in the countryside in her previous life, Lee Qiqiao was still able to recognize some wild vegetables and fruits.

Mustard mustard, spring star, Qing Zhu Cai, Yi …

Even though wild vegetables are delicate, they are occasionally eaten in modern times.

However, for those who didn't have oil in their stomachs, eating this kind of wild vegetable only had one function — filling their stomachs. Moreover, there were no oily food to eat, only more hungry, more chatty.

"If only I could hunt. "Ai, if this body can hunt, then what about it?" Still hungry?

Looking at the rabbits in the distance, Lee Qiqiao couldn't help but sigh.

However, with a rabbit in front of him, even if he couldn't hit it, he could still try.

Holding a rock, Lee Qiqiao aimed at the rabbit ten meters away and fired.

As she had expected, the rabbit did not strike. It scared the white rabbit away.

Coincidentally, there were a few wild herbs in front of the rabbit, so Lee Qiqiao walked over to dig them up.

Lee Qiqiao's heart skipped a beat the moment she bent down and saw the stone.
