Chapter 10 The third uncle is here

Ye Wei didn't want to cause trouble. After all, this was his family's territory, so he quickly pulled his younger siblings away from the land.

"Brother, this is the only rice field here. Where can we catch it?"

Yue'er asked aggrievedly, not to mention agreeing to supply goods, this money is still the family's largest income. If it is lost, what will happen when building a house?

"Go north. I remember there are rice fields over there. Zhen'er, if you can't walk, go back first."

Ye Xing nodded secretly, this big brother is quite reliable. The little guy straightened up and said very righteously,

"If I don't go home, I can do what you can do!"

Looking at their younger brother who ran away first, the three of them all laughed.

"Brother, in fact, these things are not only found in the rice fields, but also on the riverbanks. You just have to distinguish them."

Because there are many toads on the river bank, and they are poisonous.

"There are a lot of aquatic plants on the river bank, but it is very dangerous. Maybe one of your feet will sink into the river. Let's go there again when the rice fields are completely gone."

Under the moonlight, there was a hint of persistence on Ye Wei's young face. He always talked little but worked a lot. Ye Xing liked this brother very much.

The rice field over there is not big, and they only had one bag after catching it all night. Several children were a little frustrated. Only Ye Xing said with a smile,

"It's not that small. This thing is meant to be eaten fresh. I'm going to talk to the shopkeeper today and ask him to increase the price. After all, scarcity is the price."

In fact, as early as the first day she came up with this idea, she put a lot of it into the space rice field. By this time, it was already making a loud noise, so she only needed to get a bag to put it in.

"Brother, I will deliver it myself today,"

In order not to reveal her secret, she planned to go deliver the goods alone, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a madman running towards them from the opposite side. Ye Wei immediately picked up the walking stick and blocked his siblings behind him.

"Weier, it's you, I'm the third uncle, it's the third uncle!"

The madman hugged Ye Wei when he came up and started crying. The children were all shocked. How did the third uncle that the grandmother missed so much become like this?

Behind him, there were several identical beggars. Except for the third aunt, they were all children.

"These are your third aunt's younger siblings. We finally met them. Where is your grandma? Where do you live?"

Ye Xing's heart sank. Although the third aunt's family was poor, her parents were still alive. Now that she was bringing her younger siblings out, the old man might be in bad luck, especially since although they were dressed in ragged clothes, if you looked closely, they all showed filial piety.

.

"Outside the city of Feng County, my uncle, my uncle, and my family were all so anxious that they asked Xiao Zhen to wait at the intersection every day. You are finally here." Ye Wei also woke up from the shock and was very excited.

It was getting late at this time, so Ye Xing pushed the cart to the city alone. She found an alley, and unknowingly took out another bag.

After handing over the goods, she went straight to the cloth shop. She didn't dare to ask for fine cloth, but only asked for a few pieces of coarse cloth. The clothes of the third uncle and the others were really not suitable for them.

After coming out of Guzhuang, she went to the meat stall and bought some meat and bones. These days, she was familiar with the outside of the city. She could buy grain and vegetables from farmers' homes, and the price was much cheaper than in the city.

Returning to the tea house, I saw a few more busy figures in the distance.

"Sister, are you back?"

Ye Zhen greeted him happily. He could push a cart at a young age. When he saw the meat and bones, his eyes became slits when he smiled.

"Hey, why did you buy meat? Didn't you say there was only one bag today?"

The eldest uncle was not in front of the stove today, but was sitting on the table outside because it was still early and there were not many guests.

Does he dislike her for spending money? Ye Xing pursed his lips and said nothing. He carried the meat and went to the back. They fled here and the family was finally reunited today. What's wrong with eating some meat?

"My dear, I'm very interested. I heard that today there is only one bag of frogs. How much money do you still have?"

The daily money is given to the grandmother. The old lady has a keen eye and can tell the approximate amount of money just by looking at the meat. Plus, she still has the same amount as before.

"Hello, shopkeeper Liu, you gave us a raise today,"

The folds on the old lady's face were all smiles, and she knew in her mind that if it weren't for her little granddaughter, how could there be so many good people? She must be sweet-tongued.

"Eat more meat later! Go to bed quickly, I'm tired after a long night."

The uncle and the three brothers are not here. It seems they have gone to do odd jobs together. The third aunt is busy in the kitchen. Her eyes are red, she has been crying.

"Hey, your third aunt is so pitiful. Both parents are gone. Go to bed quickly. Mom has to go out to help. There are so many people here that I can't sleep tonight."

The third aunt has two younger sisters and one younger brother, which means that they have to add three people to the house, which is really too big to fit in. No wonder the eldest uncle has a somber face.

It wasn't until dinner that Ye Xing knew what his third uncle had been through during this period. In a fit of sadness, time returned to that day.

The third uncle and the third aunt returned to Liujiaying. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw their neighbor Xiaowang.

"Sister Yingzi, please go home quickly. My uncle and aunt are both buried." Ms. Liu's head buzzed and she ran forward, but there were broken walls everywhere and there was no road under her feet. Fortunately, her home

It's right at the foot of the mountain, and the general direction is unmistakable.

When they arrived home, they saw that their yard was gone, replaced by half a mountain of dirt.

"Sister, woo woo."

When the children saw them, they burst into tears. It turned out that the old couple woke up early that night and called the children out, but they rushed back again to grab some food. Unexpectedly, the mountain fell.

The entire yard was buried.

Although the Liu family was a wealthy family, they were all on the run at this time. Mrs. Liu looked at her siblings and then her husband, wondering what to do.

"Kowtow to your parents and let's take them away!"

The oldest one is only twelve years old. If you don’t take it with you, you will be dead.

In this way, they had a hard journey and encountered robberies before finally meeting up with them.

The third aunt listened to the third uncle's narration and looked at her mother-in-law nervously. In such a difficult time, how many people can stay with relatives to eat? She has been worried all day, fearing that they will be driven away.

"I have made the decision. The three children of the Liu family will stay here for the time being. In the future, we will return to our hometown and send them back. Your parents are gone, but there are still Liu family members, so there is no reason to stay in the Ye family for a long time."

After hearing these words, everyone's faces became brighter. Ms. Liu was extremely grateful. She took her younger siblings and kowtowed to the old lady. Her family still had more than an acre of land. When the disaster was over, her younger siblings would definitely go back. As long as there is now

Just eat by mouth.

But the problem is, they only have such a big place, where can they sleep at night?

"Clean the tea shed tonight, and the boss will take the men to sleep outside. It's not too cold today, and you are not afraid of people watching."
