Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

"If we can't find it, forget it. But if we do find it, and there is still water there during the drought, we will undoubtedly have another way to survive."

"These are the plans we discussed today."

The village chief paused and looked at everyone. No one spoke, so he continued, "Does anyone have any questions? If you have any, you can ask me."

"Grandpa Village Chief! I'm turning twelve this year. Can I join the hunting team?"

A child who was only about ten years old was the first to jump up and ask loudly.

The woman next to him stretched out her hand and gave a big punch, and said angrily: "You are just a pseudo-age!"

After teaching the child a lesson, she asked the village chief: "Village chief, in addition to the men, should we women also form a collection team?"

"No one under the age of sixteen is allowed to join the hunting team!" The village chief sternly rejected the boy's request. Looking at the other young men who were eager to join, he added, "Even sixteen years old is not allowed!"

Suddenly, the expressions of several young men, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wilted.

The village chief ignored these enthusiastic young people and continued to explain the follow-up arrangements.

"The gathering team will not be formed separately, but we will select some women who are nimble and strong to join the hunting team and participate in the distribution when the time comes."

“As for the rest of the people, they can form their own team and go up the mountain, even with their children, but for safety reasons, they can only move around in the back of the mountain.”

"Village Chief, then——"

"village head--"

"..."

Next, it was the time for the village chief to answer questions. There were all kinds of questions, nothing they couldn't ask, only things you couldn't imagine. One after another, the village chief never stopped asking.

Ye Yaoyao looked at the village chief who was almost drowned in the crowd and was shocked.

Would you say that this village chief is approachable or trustworthy?

Being surrounded by so many people asking questions is really a happy trouble!

Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao looked at each other and smiled, but neither of them understood the other's eyes.

"Yaoyao, let's go to town tomorrow!"

He had to quickly shed the giant python so that he could come up with money to pay for the well repair costs.

Also, even if it was just for show, he had to buy some food.

You need both coarse grains and fine grains. After all, you need to feed a baby, so you need fine grains.

Babies cannot eat coarse grains, as they will sore their throats.

Of course, the grains from the farm are edible. After being shelled and ground into powder, they are actually very fine, unlike the coarse grains sold in grain shops, which are ground with the shells still on.

"Yeah!" Okay!

Ye Yaoyao hooked the boy's finger and smiled sweetly.

By the time everyone had asked most of their questions, the food-buying team and the hunting team had taken shape.

Today, everyone is here, so division of labor is still very convenient.

Meng Huaishao was also pulled into the "back mountain collection team" by the enthusiastic aunts.

Well, it was a name they insisted on choosing.

Most of the members are children like Meng Huaishao, as well as elderly people and children who need to be carried on someone's back...

There are not many young women, and only those who have no one at home to take care of the children are willing to stay in this "disadvantaged" team.

Seriously speaking, it is not far off to summarize it as “the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.”

Meng Huaishao looked at his team members and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The children were discussing enthusiastically: What time do we leave tomorrow? What do we need to bring? Where do we meet?

Meng Huaishao listened for a while, then raised his hand cautiously: "I want to go to town tomorrow to buy some food."

"Don't you want to ask the grain purchasing team to help you buy it?"

The fat boy next to him asked him puzzledly.

"I heard my parents discussing inviting a grain-buying team to buy grain, so they would go up the mountain and stock up on grain if they worked one more day."

Meng Huaishao shook his head: "The grain purchasing team only buys coarse grains. My daughter Yaoyao is still young and needs to eat fine grains. I can't buy much, so I won't bother the grain purchasing team."

"Besides, when my uncles and aunts go to buy food, they have to hide their identities and buy only some fine food for me, which is inconvenient."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

The little fat boy obviously didn't understand that adding some scattered fine grains is actually very simple.

But he didn't understand, and even felt that what Meng Huaishao said made sense.

"Then go buy it tomorrow and go up the mountain with us the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Meng Huaishao nodded with a smile.

"Yeah!" I want to go too!

The baby waved.

The little fat boy looked over and poked the baby's palm with his finger: "Yaoyao, little baby, come too. Brother will pick some sweet fruits for you!"

Ye Yaoyao: “…” Thank you so much.

The lively atmosphere at the scene diluted some of the worries and fears of the crowd.

-

Early the next morning, Meng Huaishao set off with his baby on his back and a backpack on his back.

He made an appointment with the villagers to meet at the entrance of the village.

Originally, Meng Huaishao was not planning to go with them, but Grandma Niu knew that he was going to the town, and said that there would be an ox cart in the village, so she asked him to take a ride.

Meng Huaishao couldn't refuse and could only agree.

However, in order not to affect the grain-buying team, Meng Huaishao took the initiative to suggest that he would not go with them when he returned.

He is not an ungrateful person. If others are nice to him, he should also consider others.

Early in the morning, there were already quite a few people at the entrance of the village.

All of Murakami's cows and mules were pulled out, and a cart was hung behind them to haul grain.

With so many people coming in such a grand procession, it would attract a lot of attention, so they would go in batches and take different routes to buy food.

Meng Huaishao is with Niu Kangxiao's team.

Niu Kangxiao had to talk to Niu An about something, and also to find the well digger, so although he led a team and set out the earliest, in fact, once they arrived in the town, Niu Kangxiao would leave the team.

"Uncle Kang Xiao!"

As he got closer, Meng Huaishao greeted everyone present one by one, then stood aside holding the baby, waiting together.

Soon, everyone arrived and got on ox carts or donkey carts and headed for the town.

Ye Yaoyao poked her head out from Meng Huaishao's arms and looked at the trees running fast on both sides with great interest.

Although the ancient ox carts are not as good as modern cars, they are still a relatively practical means of transportation. They can be used to work in the fields, carry people and goods, and the meat can be eaten...

Thinking about it, Ye Yaoyao suddenly felt greedy.

Looking at the big yellow ox in front of her working hard, Ye Yaoyao silently despised herself. The ox worked so hard, how could she want to eat it?

Beef hotpot, braised beef, beef skewers...she doesn't want to eat any of these!

Not only was there something floating in her head uncontrollably, but there seemed to be some kind of fragrance rushing to her nostrils, and tears of homesickness flowed from the corners of her mouth...

Meng Huaishao felt the wetness on the back of his hand, calmly took out a handkerchief, and wiped the corners of the baby's mouth.

I don’t know if the baby is drooling because he’s teething or if he’s thinking about something delicious and is craving for food.
