Chapter 46
"Mom, give me the knife." Tao Qini squatted on the wall and looked down at Shen and said.
"Oh!" Shen picked up the black knife from the ground, pulled it out, walked under the wall, took the tip of the knife, and handed her the handle.
"Ni'er, be careful, that's so high." Shen said to her, his heart trembling.
High? Most of the walls in rural areas are not high, but most of them are just high for one person, and it becomes impossible for others to see the yard.
"I know!" Tao Qini responded, stood on the wall with a black knife, walked two steps, looking at the big tree that should have been lush and lush, at this time, only branches were left, without a trace of anger.
Tao Qini held the handle of my knife, took a deep breath, and cut off the branches... neatly.
"Enough, enough." Shen said hurriedly as he looked at the mountains of dry firewood under the wall.
"Oh!" Tao Qini stood on the wall and moved, jumping down from the wall.
"Mom, let's burn the fire!" Tao Liuyi picked up the fire and squatted beside her and said.
The dry branches are very easy to burn, and they are just a little bit away, and in a flash, it lights up next to the well.
"There is no water, and fortunately there are still fish fillers. Let's fill your stomach first." Tao Shiwu walked to the wheelbarrow and flipped over, "Hey! Where is the fish fillet?"
Shen bit his lips and watched hesitate as he put everything on the wheelbarrow on the ground.
"Where is the fish fillet?" Tao Shiwu turned around and looked at her with a half-light and half-dark face.
"Put it with the sack." Shen said in confusion as he looked at him.
"Babble?" Tao Shiwu said to her blinkingly, looking back at the neatly stacked sacks on the wheelbarrow and said, "It's obvious that there are no fish fillets!"
"You open the top." Shen looked at him and pointed at the wheel lane.
Tao Qini looked at her eyes and the shriveled sack, no need to guess, this is a family that is not wealthy.
The fish fillets were gone, they were really out of ammunition and food.
Tao Shiwu moved his lips when he heard this, holding the sack of veins bulged up, and he clenched his back teeth and loosened it. He looked up at them and said, "There is firewood, I will grind them into powder now." He said, and carried the millstone on the ground to the well. "To be honest, I haven't eaten these days, I really miss it." He sniffed, "June 1st, go and bring the firewood."
"Dad, we don't have water?" Tao Liuyi said honestly with a bitter face.
Tao Shiwu simply got up and walked to the base of the wall, hugged a bunch of dry branches, sat next to the millstone, broke the branches, and stuffed them into the millstone.
The hands, which were as rough as dead tree bark, were squeaking and shaking the millstone.
Tao Shiwu lowered his head, tightened his chin, and shook the millstone silently and stubbornly.
"Brother, go get the basket and continue." Tao Qini closed her eyes and sighed softly when she saw this.
"Oh!" Tao Liu went to the wheelbarrow together and took a shallow basket, placed it next to the millstone, watching the ground powder falling into the basket.
Tao Qini put the black knife on the straw mat, got up and went to the wheelbarrow, and placed the things she took down on the car.
Looking at the sack, I took the top one unwillingly, opened it and looked at it. My eyes lit up, then it became dim again, reached out and took it out, and I could count the pitiful slap.
Tao Qini took them out, looked at them with a smile and said, "Is there any surprise!" She spread her palms, and the white fish fillets were in the center of her palm, attracting their gaze.
"Go!" Yao Changsheng sneered, "Only these few pieces are not enough to be stuck between the teeth."
"I think it's too little! Don't eat it." Tao Qini said angrily as she glanced at him.
"Why?" Yao Changsheng stretched out his hand, "Give me my portion." It's better than nothing!
I scold myself for being unpromising in my heart, and I have to fight for it. I really get back to life and become more naive as I live.
"I'll count! One, two, three..." Tao Qini counted carefully, "Fifteen pieces, five of us, each of us, was exactly three pieces, no more or less."
"You guys eat it! I'll eat this later." Tao Shiwu pointed to the ground powder.
"I'm the same as your father." Shen said with a calm look at them.
Tao Qini looked at them with a warm look and said in a gentle tone, "Dad, mom! Even if you give us all yours, you won't be full! You don't have to let go at this time." Looking at Tao Liuyi, "Come on, put your parents in their mouths."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it myself." Shen looked at Tao Shiwu, closed his eyes and said softly, "His father, eat it!"
"Yeah!" Tao Shiwu nodded with a strong nasal voice.
Tao Qini gave the fish fillets to the three members of the Tao family and watched them put them in their mouths.
"Come on, this is yours." Tao Qini handed the remaining fish fillets to Yao Changsheng and said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yao Changsheng's eyes, which was a bit inconsistent with her strong personality.
"Why do I do? Take a look!" Tao Qini looked at Yao Changsheng who was staring at her palms, "Why do you think my hands are dirty?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "Then I can't help."
This girl couldn't speak well. Yao Changsheng picked the smallest five fish fillets, put them in his mouth, and moved his mouth slightly, but he didn't feel anything yet? The fish melted, and there was still a minced meat between his teeth, which didn't even have any meat residue.
Yao Changsheng taped the fish fillets left in her palm with his chin, "It's your turn."
Tao Qini happily put the only five remaining slices of fish into her mouth.
"Okay, okay, the powder is ground." Tao Shiwu looked at their faces and said with a smile.
"Can you swallow this dry?" Tao Qini asked curiously as she looked at them.
"It's better to have it than not." Shen said to her.
"You can't eat too much of this thing. If it absorbs water in your stomach, your body will not be able to stand it." Yao Changsheng looked at them and reminded.
"What should I do?" Tao Shiwu looked at him anxiously and said, "According to Mr. Yao's words, this can't even eat the bark."
"Well! I'm afraid yes." Yao Changsheng looked at them and said with a sigh.
Yes! There is nothing to eat now, there is nothing to drink.
They were in no mood to eat this, even though their stomachs were already roaring with hunger.
"Dad, why are you still grinding?" Tao Qini looked at the still-turning mill and said, "That's enough."
"It's also idle, it's good to have something to do." Tao Shiwu continued to push the millstone with his head stuffy, and he wouldn't think about it if he had something to do.
Tao Qini nodded when she heard this, then just do whatever she wanted! She looked up at the sky, and when they were all asleep, they were filling water into the well.
Let’s also see if the water in my storage capsule is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
Tao Qini looked at them all in a deep state. It would not work if this continued. Her eyes fell on Yao Changsheng and said, "Young Master Yao, tell us about history!" She found something for them to avoid random thoughts.
