After receiving the porridge and dry food, he found a place to squat down and started eating.

I don’t know whether my father, mother and brother have eaten or not. It is very likely that they haven’t boarded the boat yet. Yes, there are so many people in line, and it takes a long time for the boat to go back and forth, so they should not have arrived yet.

Grandma and the others should be here by now. After all, they managed to get to the first place by some trickery. They should be having some porridge by now.

I wonder how they feel when they see these foods. Will they shed tears and wolf them down? After all, they are better than what they usually eat at home.

"We're here, grab your things and get ready to disembark."

Hearing this sound, the people on the boat were very excited. The old lady felt a little dizzy and had a headache from swaying on the boat, but the uncomfortable feeling was much relieved when she thought about being able to get off the boat and eat something soon.

The eldest and the second oldest began to argue about who should stand in front of the stretcher.

The eldest brother almost sent his mother into the water just now, and he was still frightened. It was difficult to see the road while standing behind the stretcher, so he could only grope forward.

Even if I stood in the front, most of the weight of the stretcher would be on me, so I didn't want to stand in the back.

The second son felt that it was better to have less trouble than more and was unwilling to take on the responsibility.

"Brother, this time it's your turn to carry the lightest things. I'll be in front and you'll be behind."

The eldest brother quickly walked to the front of the stretcher to block the second brother. No matter what he said, he didn't want to stay behind.

"It's okay. I don't feel it's that heavy. I'm just worried that you'll get tired. As your big brother, I feel bad for you."

The second brother couldn't help but turn his face away and rolled his eyes. He didn't even know who the eldest brother was.

He has never thought about others and is as selfish as can be. Saying that he feels sorry for him is just an excuse. He just fell down and now he wants me to go behind him. He has no good intentions.

Although he fell because someone hit his leg, but if you think about it, it's because he couldn't see the road clearly behind him. If he really fell into the water, he couldn't afford the responsibility himself, so his eldest brother had to do it.

The old lady was watching the two men discussing, feeling a little annoyed. The boat had stopped, but they still had no result. Was it so difficult to carry a stretcher? Others were getting off the boat, and they wondered if they would be left with nothing to eat.

Food is so expensive nowadays and it is not easy to have enough to eat. And they are still haggling. Two grown men are not doing anything good and are still arguing over a stretcher-carrying position.

I might as well interrupt their conversation, it will never end until dark.

"Big one, second one."

They both turned their heads to look at their mother at the same time.

The old lady pointed to the top of her head and said, "Boss, come over here."

He pointed at the sole of his feet and said, "The second one should be right there. When we get off the boat, the second one will be the one doing the hard work. Just now it was mainly the eldest one who did the hard work, so this is just right."

My mother asked me to stay behind, and I really couldn't see the road clearly. Forget it, since my mother said so, I will just do as she said. This is what she specified. If anything goes wrong, she can't blame me entirely.

People passed by one by one, and her family was the only ones left on the boat. The old lady was very anxious. She never wanted to be left behind, and this time there was still food to eat, so she couldn't let others get there first. If there wasn't enough food and she didn't get to eat, she would regret it later.

The boss was carrying a stretcher at the back, and it was indeed much more relaxed than when he came here. He moved forward cautiously, not daring to slack off for even a moment.

I was very thankful that after such a delay, only my family was left here. Otherwise, if someone had the utmost carelessness to tear off the cloth around my lower body, I would never be able to hold my head up in this life.

The moment my feet touched the ground, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady was also still in shock. She initially grabbed the sides of the stretcher with her hands, and only slowly let go after it touched the ground.

I tilted my head upwards and looked around. There was no one behind me. I looked forward again and saw those people were jogging for some unknown reason. I could hardly see them anymore.

The old lady murmured, "They must have gone to grab some food."

"Big brother, second brother, hurry up and catch up with them."

The eldest brother didn't quite understand. Even if he couldn't keep up, what could he do? He had to run while carrying such a heavy stretcher.

I am so hungry that my stomach is sticking to my back, but there is no need to be so anxious. I am often hungrier than this. Besides, I am here early. There are still a lot of people behind me who haven't arrived yet. The food will not be gone by the time I get here.

The second son also felt the same way. His mother didn’t know how hard it was to carry a stretcher until she had carried it herself. Her arms were almost pulled off, so how could she move fast? She didn’t have any consideration for others at all.

Since I didn't feel any push, I knew that my brother must have the same idea as me, so I continued to maintain my original pace.

The old lady was so anxious that she sighed and groaned on the stretcher. She could do nothing but stare blankly.

His eyes were about to pop out of his head. Other people were walking further and further away and he could hardly see them anymore. It was as if his two sons didn't understand what he was saying. He asked them to hurry up, but they didn't react at all.

The old lady patted the stretcher and said, "I told you to hurry up. Can't you hear me? Are you deaf?"

The eldest brother was very annoyed by the old lady's behavior. He wanted to put her on the ground and let her be quiet for a while, but in the end he just thought about it.

"Mom, why are you in such a hurry? You don't know how tired we are carrying the stretcher. You are enjoying lying on it, but you asked us to run. You want to kill us."

The old lady was unhappy to hear this. She was young and strong at the time, and when she was their age, she was much more capable than them.

The two young men just complained about being tired. How shameless they were. How heavy could a skinny old lady, plus the weight of a stretcher, be? She was so lazy that she couldn't even keep up with the heat of the shit. Who cared about their lives?

"Okay, then don't run. If you don't have food to eat, don't blame me for being a burden."

When Fugui heard the word "eat", his ears perked up. His stomach was indeed very hungry and he really wanted to have a big meal to fill up his stomach. He hadn't felt that way for a long time.

But it was really embarrassing to ask my father and second uncle to carry the stretcher and run.

I was too embarrassed to say that I would go over and eat first, so I told grandma directly. Although she would agree, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Before, when she was at home, she had to pick up her chopsticks first before others could eat. It didn't make sense for the younger ones to eat first. She sighed silently and decided to endure it a little longer. It wouldn't be long now.

"Mom, I will definitely not say that you are a burden to us. Without you, where would we be, right?"

The boss felt relieved when he thought that he didn't have to run.

After walking for a while, I suddenly smelled the fragrance of food.
