C47 Scoop out Bird's Eggs

However, he did not dare tell Madam Chiang his current thoughts, because people like him who had never seen the world would not be able to see the future.

He would only feel that all of this was extravagant and wasteful.

"I say, girl, what do you do? Where did you get this? It's still safe and sound, okay? "

Madam Chiang was a little unhappy as he glanced at Chu Pann'er.

She could only lower her head, shut her mouth, and did not speak anymore. In the evening, Chu Pann'er planned to cook, but when she saw that there were not many dishes left at home, she felt extremely helpless. What were they doing these past few days?

Chu Pann'er did not know how they even ran out of food. In this period of time, although Madam Wang and Chu Ying'er could both sell things, they had only saved Ben during this period of time. Thus, there was naturally no money needed to buy vegetables.

At this time, the youngest Chu Xiang ran over and hugged onto Chu Pann'er's thighs, "Aunt, I want to eat Eggy, I want to eat Eggy!"

In the past, when he had Chu Pann'er, he would always have eggs at home, but in these past few days, his business was not doing well, so he did not have any.

Therefore, Chu Xiang hadn't eaten anything in a few days, so he had always wanted to eat something. Now he came to find Chu Pann'er, because he knew that Chu Pann'er would definitely have eggs.

Looking at his nephew who was only six years old, Chu Pann'er sighed, squatted down and hugged her to his chest, "Okay, okay, if you want, your aunt will give it to you right now."

As she spoke, she went to look at the cupboard, only to realize that there was not even one hundred meters left of them, much less the eggs. They seemed like they were going to return to the days from the past soon, which made Chu Pann'er extremely speechless.

Upon hearing that there was an egg to eat, Chu Xiang's eyes glowed. He, was like a chick pecking rice, hurriedly nodded: "Aunt is the best, Aunt is the best, Eggy is the best!"

Seeing Chu Xiang smiling like this, Chu Pann'er felt extremely helpless. He looked towards the horizon, whether it was better to just make some bird eggs for Chu Xiang, it was cheap and delicious.

Chu Pann'er just nodded at the thought of going up the mountain to chop firewood.

As a result, Chu Pann'er informed her elders and brought Chu Ying'er and Chu Xi up the mountain.

In the evening at Chu Village, one could only hear the sound of the wind blowing and the whistling of birds and beasts. Moreover, one could even see the smoke rising slowly from some of the families.

It was like a painting. The entire village seemed very quiet under the evening clouds.

However, if one ignored the shouts coming from the nearby villages, it would be extremely peaceful.

Her originally weak and delicate body had now carried a large bundle of firewood on her back, and was preparing to bring it back for the night, just like Chu Ying'er and Chu Xi who were also doing the same. The three of them arched their backs and walked slowly down the mountain path.

There were beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their faces were also an element without the slightest hint of danger. They were afraid that if they were careless, they would tumble down the mountain and their hard work would be wasted today.

A cool breeze blew past their foreheads, easing them a bit. However, it was of no use.

Wearing a apron, he held a small branch in his hands and waving it up and down. He looked extremely adorable, but at this time, his eyes were wide opened as he looked at Chu Pann'er without moving, and his face was filled with grievance as he stroked his stomach.

"Aunt, I'm so hungry. I want to eat Eggy!"

Chu Pann'er was extremely speechless with these words, but she was still very patient with them all. "Alright, I'll recite them. We'll be able to eat Eggy in a while!"

Along the way, Chu Pann'er did not pick the herbs with Chu Xi and the others.

Of course, Chu Nian didn't know about these eggs. He drooled as she walked, she put her finger in her mouth and lightly bit on them, her steps wasn't very steady. Chu Pann'er looked very worried, afraid that if she fell in love, she would fall down.

Actually, not only Chu Xiang, even he himself was starving. After all, due to Madam Liu, she did not eat much in the afternoon.

In the past two days, she had also heard from Chu Ying'er. Because of her business, he had been eating porridge and cabbages, just like how it was in the past. Chu Pann'er was feeling helpless, it had only been a few days since he last saw her, why did her life become so difficult?

It seemed that she would have to prepare herself in the future. What if one day he wasn't home and he was sitting there as he was before? He looked deeply at Chu Ying'er who was behind him, and understood in her heart that she must properly teach the girl how to do business, or else everyone would starve in the future.

After walking around a mile, even though Chu Xi was a man, he still couldn't take it anymore, but he had to grit his teeth and persevere on. If not for Chu Xi's carelessness, who knows how long it would take for him to notice it.

Chu Xi looked like he was only 12 years old, but because he was malnourished since young, his body was very thin, his bones were thin like firewood, his eyes were empty, and his hair was withered yellow.

Originally, Chu Pann'er wanted to pick up some firewood to burn, but she did not expect that there would be so much wood on the mountain. Hence, she was moved.

And because Chu Xi understood that he and Chu Ying'er were both girls, he took the initiative to share a large part of the burden.

So seeing Chu Xi's painful look, Chu Pann'er felt helpless, she immediately put the firewood down and went to Chu Xi's side, "I said you, it's true, I already told you not to carry so much."

Chu Xi slightly tilted his body, his eyes full of spirit: "Big sister, I'm a boy, so much firewood doesn't matter, just let me carry you guys, don't worry about me, we must quickly leave, otherwise it'll be difficult to walk on the mountain road when it gets dark."

Hearing that Chu Xi was so sensible, Chu Pann'er sighed. Actually, she had already greeted him when he came out, and was only here to eat bird eggs. He did not expect to carry so much firewood, which made him feel embarrassed.

"Little Brook, I know you're having a hard time right now. Hurry up and give some points to big sister. After all, big sister is older than you!"

If Madam Chiang saw this, she would probably think that he was bullying this child.

Chu Xi stubbornly shook his head, he shook the firewood behind him and said, "Sister, don't worry, I am not that weak. Let's go, it will be dark soon so it will not be easy to leave!"

Seeing that the little stream was so persistent, Chu Pann'er could only let it go. She brought the three of them and walked forward, and when they heard the sound of a bird flapping its wings, Chu Pann'er's eyes lit up, and immediately pointed to a location and said: "Look, there must be bird eggs there. I see the bird nest, let's go!"
