The best survival in troubled times

The old lady turned around and entered the room to see the old man sitting on the kang, his legs could move slightly.

"This kid keeps running around every day. I don't know what to say if I want Pearl to read some books. I'm afraid it will put too much pressure on Pearl."

The old man took his own pipe and took two puffs.

"Our Pearl is a successful businessman, so you don't have to worry."

The old lady sat on the kang and sighed, then picked up her sewing basket.

"We don't have to worry. One day, we two immortals will be gone. What will happen if we are no longer here?"

The boss and the others look honest, but they have their own children, and who doesn't feel sorry for their children.

Don't even count on the fourth child. Look, the fourth child's wife hasn't come back this time, and even the children haven't come back. If he doesn't tell us, don't we both understand? "

The old man blew out a puff of smoke and sighed. He originally thought he could point to the fourth child, but it looked like he couldn't.

"I didn't expect that he would look down on us when he went to the city."

"Pull him down if you don't like him. From now on, don't beg me to ask me to break his legs. Look, his wife is still showing off her power.

If you don't come back this time, won't you be embarrassing me? If she doesn't come back, she will be pulled down. When she comes back, there will be no other place. "

"I can't do anything wrong if I'm angry with him. He's not the only son we have. Besides, our girl is not much better than that fourth child. I believe in our Pearl."

The old lady also nodded. Whenever she mentioned Pearl, she felt that Pearl was the smartest child in the world.

"That's not good. Pearl has been smart since she was a child. If others don't speak, Pearl will know how to keep others away. Pearl will know how to keep others from grabbing things."

"We need to have some confidence in Pearl, you know? If nothing happens, just let your child study. The child will study when she wants to. Since she has exams these days, let her relax."

When Pearl followed a few children to the river bank, it was already densely packed with people.

Pearl looked a little dizzy and didn't know what these people could get. Some got a few loaches, and some got two river mussels.

Everyone saw Pearl coming and greeted her with a smile. After all, Pearl led everyone to pick up so many chestnuts.

The pearl was picked up quietly by the army, and it was quickly withdrawn from it.

When I came out, I saw my uncle also coming out of the crowd.

"Zhuzhu, why don't you go and see your grandpa and your grandma? Your grandpa and grandma miss you."

Pearl looked at her aunt and smiled, thinking that the old lady would be very anxious if she left.

I'm not going this time, but you actually said that I have breasts, thinking that I am a very interesting uncle.

"I miss my breasts too, I'm going to take a look now."

After Pearl finished speaking, she ran away.

The village chief's wife shouted several times from behind without stopping. She stamped her feet twice, thinking that this old thief is a thief as well as this young one.

When the village chief's wife came back, she looked at Pearl sitting on the kang with a bowl of sugar water on the table, and raised her eyebrows fiercely.

This is the candy that his son brought back. He didn't expect it to reach Pearl's mouth so quickly.

Why don’t you have a door to your mouth? He told her to come, but luckily he didn't get anything. Instead, she ate her own candy.

Pearl saw the village chief's daughter-in-law entering the house and standing on the ground floor to greet her very warmly.

"Madam, please sit down on the kang. I just told my grandma that you went to catch the loaches and said you were going to make soup for me. You also told me to stay here for dinner and prepare something delicious for me."

"You are a sensible person, you know that pearls are so annoying."

The village chief's wife glared at Pearl fiercely, thinking that she was just a bastard.

"Then you just sit down and I'll catch some more. We'll have enough for a meal, otherwise it would be so little that no one can even get a piece."

"Mom, this water is so sweet. Take a sip."

"If I don't drink, you can drink, but you should also drink less. It's not good for children to eat too much sugar."

"I'm willing to eat sweets if it doesn't matter."

The village chief's wife raised her eyebrows several times, turned around and went out.

I don't want to talk in the room anymore, because if I talk anymore I'm afraid my heart will be blocked.

Why did he invite this bastard, eat his candy, and have dinner at his house at noon?

"Mother-in-law, what are we doing at noon?"

When the village chief's wife heard this, her eyebrows jumped faster and she stood in the yard.

"Eat whatever you want. Go to work quickly. Besides, if you don't have any work to do, go dig for loaches. I don't know who dug so many loaches at night. Everyone will know."

Pearl knew that the uncle's words were meant for her, and Pearl shook her head in a funny way.

"Milk, my dad's leg is about to heal. Last night we went to the small river to dig mud, and then we dug out river mussels and made soup for my dad. He drank a big bowl."

The old lady nodded and smiled.

"That's a good thing. If it doesn't work, go to the county and have a look. This leg can't be delayed. How will we farmers work if we don't have legs?"

"Don't worry, Nanny, my dad's leg will heal soon."

The old lady nodded and tremblingly took out a small bag from her cabinet.

"Take this thing back and eat it. Don't eat it here. If you eat it, your aunt will lose face again."

"Miscellaneous, let's not separate our families, okay? My auntie gets angry sometimes."

The old lady smiled mysteriously.

"Your eldest uncle doesn't even dare to separate the family. Believe it or not, if your father wants to separate the family now, your eldest uncle will be the first one to get anxious."

Pearl understood as soon as she thought about it. Her aunt's son was working as an errand in Fucheng, and it seemed that it would not be possible if the family was separated.

"I'm afraid it won't rain today. What will happen if we have to flee?"

"You little girl, why are you worrying about this? Don't worry, God will starve you to death. You can survive anything."

"Go home quickly, don't stay here, your aunt will have something to say later.

If he likes to talk, you can listen if you want to hear it. If you don’t want to listen, just go home, you know? "

"I understand. Please take good care of yourself. I'll go back first."

Pearl walked to the yard, said hello to her uncle, and ran out.

While walking on the road, Pearl was still thinking about the difference between family separation and family separation.

After returning home, the old lady ran away after seeing the pearls next to each other for several days.

"I can't run away anymore. I have to study hard at home, you know? Look at your nieces and nephews, they are all good at what you taught them. I think you have almost forgotten them."

Pearl felt that she should study hard, after all, there was an exam coming up.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't go out from today on, I will stay at home and study hard."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

Pearl returned to her small room, thinking that there would be nothing outside, there was not even a sparrow on the bare mountain.

Not to mention ginseng, everyone rummaged through the place to pick up a few small fish and clam shells.
