After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

I heard that housing prices in that town are cheap.

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Heiwa are not too old yet.

They have no children around them, and they no longer want to work hard on farming.

I just want to find a stable town. I used my savings over the years to buy a small house to live in, and then started a small business, which was enough for two people to make ends meet.

Uncle Liu Er nodded, "This is also a good plan."

Aunt Liu Er asked, "Then what business are you planning to do? Have you thought about it all?"

Aunt Zhou glanced at Uncle Heiwa and said with a smile, "He knows how to hoist barrels. He can go around the streets to repair basins and buckets for others, and he can also make his own wooden basins and barrels to sell."

"I know how to make steamed buns. I can set up a steamed bun stall in front of my house."

Aunt Liu Er was also very happy for Aunt Zhou after hearing this, "If you have skills, you won't be afraid of going hungry."

"You two will definitely get better and better together from now on."

When Jiang Xiaohua came back from feeding Oolong, Aunt Liu Er pulled her to sit down and told her the plans of the two families.

Jiang Xiaohua was sincerely happy for them.

We cannot be tied together forever. As long as everyone finds his or her own way of survival, that will be the best result.

After being happy, Jiang Xiaohua felt a little melancholy again.

The second uncle, the second aunt, Aunt Zhou, and Uncle Heiwa, they are all very good people.

Seeing that their separation was imminent and she still didn't know when they would see each other again, she was still emotionally reluctant to let him go.

Aunt Liu Er seemed to notice Jiang Xiaohua's mood and reached out to rub her back, as if to comfort a child.

"Xiaohua, don't feel bad. This is the path we chose."

"It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. You know where we are going. If you have a chance, bring the dolls here."

Jiang Xiaohua blinked her eyes and suppressed the moisture in her eyes.

She smiled and nodded, "I will definitely bring them to visit you and my uncle in the future. And Aunt Zhou."

Aunt Liu Er smiled, "You haven't tried Auntie's cooking yet. Next time you come home, Auntie will prepare delicious food for you."

Aunt Zhou also smiled and said, "Wait until I get everything settled."

"If you come here in the future, you can stay as long as you want."

Bai, Zou and others also started laughing.

When talking about their imagination for the future, everyone has a hopeful smile on their face.

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and joyful, diluting the sadness of the night.

At dawn the next day, Jiang Xiaohua put out the bonfire.

Li Yuanzhi and the children had loaded everything onto the mule cart.

The three groups of people left separately towards the three forked roads.

The mule cart moved forward on the flat official road.

Four little cubs sat on the carriage board, and Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi sat side by side in front.

Oolong ran beside the mule cart in small steps, and he was quite comfortable with this speed.

Li Yuanzhi didn't urge the mules to walk faster. Even so, it was still much faster than they used to walk.

Liu Guang held a warm roasted sweet potato and closed his eyes in intoxication and said, "It's really easy to ride in the car."

Liu Ming admired the scenery passing by on the roadside, "I am also interested in seeing more of the surrounding scenery."

Liu Yong peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, and while hissing when it was hot, he brought the sweet potato to his little sister's mouth.

"Miaomiao just said she was hungry. Eat quickly."

Xiao Miaomiao came closer and took a bite of the sweet potato. She smiled and pushed the sweet potato to Liu Yong, "It's so sweet, big brother will eat it too!"

Liu Yong took a bite and smiled. It was indeed very sweet.

They roasted the sweet potatoes this morning. They didn't have time to eat them, so they said they would take them with them on the road.

Liu Yong picked two more large sweet potatoes, carefully peeled off the upper half of the skin, and handed them forward to the two adults.

Jiang Xiaohua took it and held it in her hands, feeling much warmer immediately.

She looked back and smiled, "Our eldest son is really considerate. He peeled all the sweet potatoes for my mother."

Liu Yong blushed, "I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to catch the train and eat."

The whole family ate roasted sweet potatoes, which warmed their stomachs and bodies.

Xiao Miaomiao specially set aside three large sweet potatoes.

When everyone is full, the sweet potatoes will no longer be boiled.

Xiao Miaomiao picked up the sweet potato and lay on the edge of the car, "Oolong! Go on!"

She threw a sweet potato, and she jumped slightly and opened her mouth to catch the sweet potato.

Oolong kept walking, trotting forward, chewing three or five times, and the sweet potato was eaten.

Xiao Miaomiao continued to throw.

Oolong can catch it accurately every time, making Xiao Miaomiao laugh heartily.

"Oolong is so smart!"

Wulong understood that he had been praised, and he raised his head and howled happily, and his running posture became even more cheerful.

The wolf and everyone else were very happy, except Daqing who was pulling the cart. His mood was obviously tense.

Li Yuanzhi looked forward at the big green mule, "Why do I feel it's weird?"

Jiang Xiaohua said, "Of course it's strange. Oolong is here. It's a mule. It's normal to be afraid."

Last night they had already deliberately made Daqing and Oolong adapt to each other's presence.

From the moment Daqing first saw Oolong, he was so frightened that his legs became weak. Eventually, the fear gradually eased.

I was able to pull the car smoothly today, which is good enough.

We no longer encounter groups of refugees so frequently along the way.

There are not so many barren mountains and wastelands anymore.

She passes a village almost every day, but these are not the places Jiang Xiaohua wants to stay.

I have finished eating the sweet potatoes I earned from the Sophora japonica.

In winter, there are no edible wild vegetables or fruits on the Central Plains.

Fortunately, Oolong "hunts" every day.

The family's daily staple food is mainly hare.

Jiang Xiaohua knew that it was not an option to continue like this. Human beings always had to eat some carbohydrates to resist the cold.

She decided to focus on the next village.

If you have the chance, be sure to buy some food from the villagers.

Otherwise, we will have to stick to the big towns ahead to purchase supplies.

Liu Yong took out a water bag from his cotton-padded jacket, opened the lid and took a sip.

He quickly covered it and stuffed it back into the cotton-padded jacket on his chest.

Looking at the other three little ones, their chests are also bulging.

Each of them carried a water bag in his arms.

Because this is their precious heating artifact.

After winter, the weather gets colder and colder. In the past, walking could still help you get warm.

But now the whole family is sitting in the car, feeling the cold wind blowing, and they feel chilled from head to toe.

Jiang Xiaohua thought of a way. When she stopped to rest every day, she boiled water and poured it into the water bag.

During the journey, each person stuffed a water bag into a cotton-padded jacket to keep warm.

Because there are two layers of underwear, there will be no burns.

Wait until the water cools down a bit before you can drink it.

But I'm lucky today, it's a sunny day.

Around noon, bathing in the sunshine makes your whole body warm.

The mule cart entered an unknown small village.

Jiang Xiaohua saw the grain spread out to dry on the roadside at a glance.

There is wheat, corn, and beans.

"parking!"

Li Yuanzhi pulled the reins, and Daqing stopped.

There was an old man who was drying grain. When he saw the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest, his eyes became wary.

Jiang Xiaohua got out of the car and tried her best to look kind and harmless.

"Old man, can you sell me some of this food?"
