Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Everyone worked in harmony, and soon, a simple but stable bed was set up in a corner of the cabin.

The second uncle stood aside, looking around the house. The simple environment and the several worn quilts that the Zhang family had left for Xiao Youniang were all caught in his eyes. He was angry at the injustice of life.

His face was as hard as steel, with a look of determination between his brows. He strode back to his simple hut with big strides, took down the only relatively thick quilt from the slightly empty wooden frame, along with a few rolls of mats that had a faint grass scent, and hastily tied them up with coarse hemp ropes. He carried them all on his shoulders and walked towards Zhang Laoer's house with heavy but extremely firm steps.

When Zhang Laoer first saw this scene, he was shocked and quickly waved his hands to decline, his words full of embarrassment.

"How can this be, Uncle, what are you doing..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by her second uncle. The old man's voice was full of warmth. "A few days ago, I helped the young master in the town to capture the ferocious tiger and received a generous reward. I have been thinking about how to thank you villagers who help each other every day. This quilt is my gift. Don't refuse it. Your daughter is still young and it is very cold at night. We can't let her suffer the cold."

The second uncle's words were sincere and earnest, and every word struck the hearts of Zhang Laoer and his wife. They looked at each other and finally nodded.

But Xu Liyun was unwilling to accept the favor for nothing, so she hurriedly took out a strong pheasant from home and insisted that her second uncle take it away.

Now it was Second Uncle's turn to feel embarrassed. He shook his head repeatedly to indicate that this was not necessary.

But Xu Liyun was not willing to give in. While saying polite words, she took over her second uncle's old donkey cart parked outside the door without saying a word, carefully placed the pheasant on the cart, and then urged her second uncle to set off for home.

The second uncle couldn't persuade her, so he could only shake his head helplessly and drive away slowly in the donkey cart.

My second uncle's grandmother was originally feeling a little unhappy about the loss of a precious quilt. After all, in those days, a warm quilt was a considerable fortune for a farmer's family. She felt a little bad about giving it away for no reason.

However, when she saw that Xu Liyun not only came to thank her in person, but also brought her a big pheasant, the unhappiness in her heart instantly disappeared, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.

She immediately turned around and walked into the kitchen, grabbed a handful of precious salt, and insisted that Xu Liyun take it with her as a token of gratitude.

Xu Liyun thanked them again and again, her eyes full of sincerity and gratitude, and her liking for her second uncle and his wife increased a little more.

She started her journey home, back to the ramshackle thatched cottage.

I saw that Zhang Siwa had already processed the hunted rabbit neatly and was calling Zhang Laoer to light a fire to prepare for the barbecue.

The salt that Xu Liyun handed over came in handy, adding flavor to this simple but rare dinner.

"Oh, it's such a pity that the rabbit skins we hunted with great difficulty were also taken away by the Zhang family. I was thinking of keeping them and making a pair of warm shoes for my little sister."

Zhang Siwa thought of the rabbit skin that had been cleaned but was no longer in his hands, and his expression showed regret.

Zhang Laoer heard this and gently stroked the two children's heads. "Don't take it personally, kids. We have some money now. Tomorrow we will go to town to buy cloth to make shoes. By the way, we also need to discuss how to start our plan to make medicine."

In a short while, Zhang Siwa managed to roast a delicious wild rabbit using only a handful of salt.

That night, the family of six sat in this leaky little room. Before going to bed, the aroma of roasted rabbit meat lingered in their mouths, and their stomachs were filled with the long-lost meat and warmth.

Even though the wind outside was still blowing through the cracks in the wall, everyone's hearts and dreams became unusually solid.

As soon as the sky turned pale, the little girl opened her big eyes and climbed down quietly from the small bed made of several wooden boards.

The almost empty old clay pot at home reminded her that if she didn't fetch water quickly, the family might face the dilemma of having no water to drink when they woke up.

So, she set off, her thin figure, staggering along the rugged country road, carrying a wooden basin borrowed from a neighbor.

The morning dew wet the corners of her clothes, but it could not stop her firm steps. She walked through the rice fields, bypassed the old willow tree at the entrance of the village, and finally found the famous sweet water well in the center of the village.

By the well, there were already a few villagers who had gotten up early, some were old men with hunched backs, some were women holding children, and they had lined up in a not-too-long queue.

They looked at the little figure carrying the big basin on his back and cast loving glances at him.

When it was the little girl's turn to try to crank the old windlass, she held the handle tightly with her little hands and tried her best. Her cheeks turned red, but the windlass did not move at all. The scene was both funny and heartbreaking.

Just at this moment, the village chief's son Zhang Rui appeared beside the well. Seeing the situation, he stepped forward to help without saying a word.

Zhang Rui was a good person who not only helped fill the basin with water, but also thoughtfully offered to help her deliver the full basin of precious water back home.

Back in the simple hut made of loess and thatch, other family members had already woken up one after another, and the air was filled with a slightly chaotic atmosphere due to getting up early.

Xu Liyun was anxiously preparing to go out to look for her daughter because she had lost sight of her daughter, but unexpectedly at the doorstep she ran into Zhang Rui returning with his little daughter and a basin of water.

Seeing this, Zhang Laoer hurried forward and took the heavy wooden basin from Zhang Rui.

Afterwards, he warmly invited Zhang Rui to sit in his yard and show his hospitality.

Xiao Youniang was not idle either. She hurriedly found a wooden stool among the few pieces of furniture in the house and wiped it clean carefully.

In this way, the enthusiastic guest was not left standing in the yard awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

"Mom, this is the water Uncle Zhang Rui brought back for us. Hurry up and tell my brothers and sisters to come wash their faces and get ready to go into the city!"

As soon as the basin of water landed on the ground, Xiao You's mother couldn't wait to urge her family to hurry up and wash up in the morning.

Seeing this, Xu Liyun rubbed her daughter's head lovingly, then gently pushed the little girl into Zhang Laoer's arms, signaling him to help her tidy up her messy hair.

Today the whole family plans to go into the city, and they will have breakfast outside, so they naturally cannot let their little daughter go out with such messy hair.

The embarrassing thing was that Zhang Laoer had neither a comb nor a suitable hairband. In desperation, he had to temporarily tear off a piece of cloth from his waist and carefully tied a small braid for his daughter. He silently planned to buy some decent hair accessories for his daughter after going to the city.

This scene was like a needle prick in Zhang Rui's eyes.

He knew very well that life in their family seemed to have been stretched to its limit.
