Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

The meal was ready quickly. After the reading is done, the leading soldiers will distribute it together.

In the end, the women were given a bowl of multigrain porridge, and the children were given half a bowl. The men had to carry armaments and were on duty at night, so they had enough multigrain porridge.

Su Qingnao, Su Qingliu and others looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the multigrain porridge in their bowls, but the children were a little unable to eat it.

When Su Qingyu and her party set out, they brought a lot of fine grains and money with them. Along the way, the children ate fine grains. She also brought dried fruits and vegetables, so the children's food was not bad.

Especially for Lu Xiaobao, after Su Qingyu ran out of milk to feed him, Su's mother tried her best to make him delicious food. Occasionally you can catch prey in the mountains, and you can also eat meat porridge and broth.

Now there was a bowl of something dark and indistinguishable. Lu Xiaobao was holding the edge of the bowl with his hand in anticipation, but when he saw it, he immediately looked away.

Su Qingyu even coaxed and lied, but only allowed him to take two bites and then refused to eat any more.

Seeing Su Qingnao's anxiety, Su's mother hurriedly held Xiaobao in her arms: "He's still young, what can you tell him? We avoid people at night and make some paste for Xiaobao."

Holding Xiaobao and coaxing him. Qingyang Qingxing and others stopped coaxing him and asked them to eat all the multigrain porridge in their bowls with a straight face.

Su Qingnao felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Yaya also eating the grain porridge in small bites.

Their family used to be fine, eating, drinking, and happy. What's going on now?

After dinner, Su's father, Su Dahu, and the other four returned to their place. Because their family members were with the army, except for those on duty, the other men who were not on duty returned to their families.

When Su's father and others came back, they first looked at a few children, teased them a few words, and then the family got together to talk.

There were many people in the team who were accompanying the army with their families. After everyone had a good meal, they each found a place for their family members, not far or near from everyone, and pulled tarpaulins to pitch their tents.

There weren't many families with Su Qingyu's complete equipment. Most of the others lay down on the floor, next to the fire, with their clothes thrown over their heads and fell asleep.

This non-stop walking makes everyone feel as if their legs are filled with lead and cannot be lifted. As soon as they finished eating, most of them fell to the ground.

As soon as Su's father and others came back, Su's mother hurriedly twisted the hot handkerchief and asked them to apply it on their feet. She was secretly glad that all their pots and pans were still there.

In the past, everyone would ride in an ox-cart, and then get off for a walk after feeling numb. The ox-cart moved slowly, and could only cover about eighty miles in a day. Now, I heard that people had to get up before dawn. Like today, the car didn’t stop until sunset. We have to walk sixty miles a day.

Su's mother's eyes were sore and swollen, and Su's father was old and worried that he wouldn't be able to bear it.

Su's father comforted her: "It's okay. We farmers have never endured any hardships. It's just that we have to walk a little longer, so there's nothing we can't bear. We are fine, but you haven't seen anyone in the team who is older than us. There are many who are weaker than us."

Seeing Su's mother squeezing Su's father's calf muscles, Lu Xiaobao also lay down and started stroking and squeezing Su's father. This made Su's father amused, and she held him in her arms and kissed him for a long time.

"Our little baby is awesome. He doesn't cry or fuss. He is really a good grandson of our grandpa."

Su Qingnao glanced at her son who was playing with Su's father and felt puzzled.

This kid seems to be adjusting really well. I have never seen him howl during this journey. That time he howled so loudly that it was just because Su Qingyu had no milk to feed him. But he just howled a few times, and when he saw that there was really no food left, he stopped.

This journey was bumpy, but I didn’t cry or make trouble. Today's meal was not to his liking, so he just turned his face away without crying.

Su Qingyu was concerned, fearing that his howling would annoy the soldiers, so she ordered him to be thrown away.

Now that I see him being obedient, I feel relieved.

Su Dahu took Su Qingyu's handkerchief, pressed it on his sore neck, and whispered: "I asked, our team will go to Fuzhou to join the main force, and then continue south to Fujian. ”

Zhou Dajiang also came over and whispered: "Yes. This is also the case after I inquired about it. There are only a few hundred of us, what can we do? I said from the beginning that there must be a bigger leader leading it."

Uncle Zhou also whispered: "I heard that Huang Shenzhi's family used to be a pig butcher in the countryside. His three brothers were all pig butchers. He is the youngest. He is twenty-two years old this year and has not yet been married. His father, mother and Both my brothers’ families are in the team.”

When the aunt heard this, she hurriedly told the news she had learned: "Huang Shenzhi is handsome, and many people in the team want to marry his old mother. If they can get there, the family will be happy and prosperous." . Didn’t you see that the ox carts the Huang family rides in have carriages, so they don’t have to do any work, and many people are jealous.”

Su Qingyu stretched her neck and looked ahead. She didn't see their family and lowered her head.

He whispered: "There are many old friends of Huang Shenzhi in this team. I heard that the three brothers of Huang Shenzhi defected to his brother. His brother's name is Huang Xu. I heard that he is the descendant of a general named Huang in Langya. . Huang Xuyuan was guarding the border in the northwest. He was embarrassed by the military officials and killed them in a fit of rage. Then he escaped with a team of less than a hundred people and collected some victims one after another along the way, including Huang. People like Shen Zhi came to vote, and I heard that the team now has five thousand people. "

Su Dahu and others all looked at Su Qingyu and admired her very much. Such news was heard by her.

"There is a woman and her man following Huang Xu." Su Qingyu said hurriedly.

oh. So everyone only inquired about some gossip, but you suddenly found out about the core of the team?

"Father, uncle, Dahu and Dajiang, please don't act rashly. Let's wait and see. There are many people in the army, and they probably won't do anything risky. Let's follow them south first and see what they do. Intention, then make plans.”

Father Su nodded repeatedly.

I originally thought that by being cautious, the family could safely go south and avoid the chaos of war. Unexpectedly, I was arrested when I went down the mountain to buy some food. If I had known I would be caught, I might as well have stayed on the mountain and dug wild vegetables to eat. It's spring now, and there are a lot of wild vegetables popping up.

Su's father was so heartbroken that he was planning to escape. Fortunately, I heard that women and children could join the army and the family could still be together. I breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone coaxed a few children to sleep, Su Qingyu and others talked for a while before falling asleep.

Before going to bed, Mother Su secretly made some rice cereal and fed it to Xiaobao. Xiaobao was probably hungry, so he ate the entire bowl of rice cereal with his eyes closed. Mother Su breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, there were many fires lit in the camp, and it didn't feel cold, but the mosquitoes were annoying. Fortunately, their home was better than other homes because it was surrounded by a tarpaulin. In the second half of the night, Su Qingyu hugged Xiaobao tightly in her arms and fell asleep.
