Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Looking at the embarrassed figure who looked back every three steps and fell every five steps, everyone on the donkey cart fell silent.

"Second sister! This misunderstanding seems to have gotten bigger!"

Lu Yi frowned and spoke in a conflicted tone.

"How about... don't show your knife next time..."

After hearing Lu Yi's words, everyone who was originally confused and doubtful all showed a look of enlightenment.

That makes sense...

"What should we do with this package, Mr. Huang?" Widow Zhou asked puzzledly, looking at the package at her feet.

"The fat guy himself said he gave it to us, why don't we just divide it up!"

Upon hearing this, Qian immediately came closer and held the bundle in her hand.

"Look at the clothes he's wearing, all made of fine fabrics. There must be a lot of silver in this bag..."

As Qian was speaking, a big hand snatched the package away from her. It was Uncle Li.

"If we take this package, we will be in real trouble!"

"When Boss Huang reports you to the police, they will raid your house and send you to the county jail!"

When Qian heard that she was going to be sent to prison, she stopped talking immediately.

Uncle Li handed the package directly to Lu You.

"You have to make up for the trouble you caused yourself! The car is waiting for you here, go and explain yourself and come back!"

"I'll go explain?" Lu You looked up at Fatty Huang, who was running like crazy, but his speed was almost as fast as a race walk. "He's afraid of me. If I go to deliver the bag to him, he will be scared to death."

"If you don't go, who will go?" Qian snorted coldly.

"Lu Yi goes!"

As he spoke, Lu You reached out and stuffed the package into Lu Yi's hand.

Looking at the bag in his hand, Lu Yi looked up at Lu You.

"Second sister..."

Lu Yi wanted to say something, but he saw Lu You raising the corner of his mouth and looking at him with a "kind face"!

"What's wrong?" Lu You asked with a smile.

"It's okay!" Lu Yi got off the donkey cart holding the package and trotted after Boss Huang.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +5, +5, +5...]

…………

Although he did not take a detour, Lu Yi still had to spend a lot of time explaining the whole story to Boss Huang.

When Lu You and others returned to the village, it was already getting dark.

Because Lu Yi's school basket was filled with a lot of things, Uncle Li sent them to the door.

"Uncle Li, thank you so much for today. Here is ten cents for the ride. Please keep it!"

The two got out of the car, and Lu Ming also heard the noise and came out to greet them.

Facing the three sisters, Uncle Li directly pushed back Lu You's hand holding the copper coin.

"I don't need the taxi fare, but I have something to say!"

Hearing Uncle Li's serious tone, Lu You hurriedly replied.

"You said that the three of us siblings must have taken it to heart!"

In fact, Lu You had already guessed what Uncle Li was going to say, but he didn't intend to point it out.

Looking at the three siblings in front of him, Uncle Li sighed.

"Luyou, we all know that your father's death was a great blow to you, and we have all seen the changes in you."

"But we have to look forward and keep moving forward!"

"You bought so many things today, including meat and shoes, during your trip to the city. Are you not planning to spend the winter?"

"You told me this morning that Lu Ming would no longer chop wood, and that Mr. Qiu had taken back the ten acres of school land."

"Can you three siblings have enough to eat just from the income from copying books?"

"Lu Yi is young, and Lu Ming is too straightforward. You will be the pillar of this family from now on."

"How are you going to get through the day? You have to have a plan!"

At this point, Uncle Li sighed again.

"You three sisters can read and write, you are all smart people!"

"No one can help you get through this life, that's all I can say."

Hearing Uncle Li's words, Lu You hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Uncle Li, Lu You has remembered all your teachings in his heart."

"Please rest assured that the three of us sisters will never be the kind of people who live off our savings and enjoy leisure."

"To be honest, I went to the city today to buy some food and clothing, and also to find a way to make money."

Uncle Li was immediately interested when he heard this: "Did you find it?"

Lu You shook his head slightly.

"After this day, although I haven't made up my mind, I have some ideas in my mind. I plan to go to the city to do some small business!"

Doing business?

Uncle Li was slightly stunned, then sighed and said.

"That's right. Your family doesn't have any fields, and you don't have to work on the farm, so you have plenty of time."

"Yes!" Lu You said with a smile, "When we really start a business, I will have to ride in your car every day."

"So you have to accept the money no matter what. You can't run for nothing, right?"

Seeing Lu You handing over the copper coins again, Uncle Li chuckled.

"You want to do business, I can't help you much, this money is a token of your kindness."

"Knowing that you three sisters have your own plans, I feel relieved!"

As he spoke, Uncle Li whipped the donkey lightly, put it on the donkey's back and walked away.

"Uncle Li, we have a long life ahead of us, you can't just keep giving it up!" Lu You said helplessly.

Uncle Li waved his hand casually and said, "We'll settle the account together when you get rich!"

The three siblings stood at the door and watched Uncle Li's donkey cart go farther and farther away. After it turned a corner and could no longer be seen from behind, they turned around and walked towards the yard.

"Uncle Li sincerely wishes well for us!" Lu Yi said softly.

"Well!" Lu You held the ten copper coins in his hand: "Then let's live well and live like a human being. Don't let him down!"

"Okay!" Lu Yi replied indifferently.

Lu You turned his head to look at Lu Ming, only to see that the other party had picked up the 40-50 kg backpack with one hand and was following him.

"Luming, what about you?"

"Me?" Lu Ming said in confusion, "What's wrong with me?"

Looking at Lu Ming's clear eyes, Lu You asked slowly.

"Uncle Li just said so much, don't you have any thoughts?"

"Have!"

"What do you think?"

"I'm hungry!"

Lu You: “…………”

Lu Yi: “…………”

"Second sister, we have nothing at home." Lu Ming said aggrievedly, "From this morning till now, I haven't eaten a single bite!"

"Go to the main room and kneel down!"

Lu You said helplessly to this silly older brother.

"Oh!"

Although he was puzzled, Lu Ming still did as he was told, put the bamboo basket aside, turned around and walked towards the main house.

"Xiao Yi, take out the shoes from the bamboo basket, and put the rest into the rice jar and cover it tightly to avoid attracting rats."

"it is good!"

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +5, +5, +5...]

Lu Yi agreed, picked up the bamboo basket with difficulty and walked towards the kitchen.

Lu You's attention was attracted by a large upside-down bowl on the table in the middle of the yard.

When he opened the big bowl, he saw four fist-sized boiled potatoes inside.

"Luming! Where did these potatoes come from?"
