Chapter 23 I'll Pull His Beard
"Really?"

Qi Manman's big eyes were wide open, and his small face was full of joy.

Taibai Jinxing nodded, and took out a black stone the size of a fingernail from his wide sleeve.

Qi Manman looked at the little stone, tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and asked suspiciously: "Is this space?"

"Yes, there is space and a spiritual spring inside."

Taibai Jinxing smiled and looked like a strange old man who wanted to abduct children.

Qi Manman still didn't believe it, and poked the stone with his fleshy fingers: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"How could I lie to you, take it quickly! Go back and give it to your mother, she knows how to do it."

Taibai Jinxing put the small stone into Qi Manman's palm, let her hold it again, and then waved the whisk: "Go back! If it takes too long, your family will worry."

Qi Manman only felt her eyes go blank, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that she was lying in her own house, with sunlight streaming in through the window paper.

There are voices outside, and the voice is my grandma.

"Boss, don't rush around, take your daughter-in-law back to her mother's house quickly, hurry up, and come back before dark."

"Second brother, you too, third child, don't be so busy, hurry up and take your daughter-in-law back."

Qi Cheng urged: "Don't eat at Yue's house, come back as soon as you finish talking, try not to be greedy and hurry, you know?"

Qi Dafu, Qi Ercai and Qi Sangui, who were named, responded one after another.

Qi Quanyin just came back from carrying water. Before he could put down his shoulder pole after entering the yard, he heard his mother urging him: "Old Wu, what are you doing with ink? Hurry up and accompany your wife back to her mother's house!"

There are six sons in the family, and five sons are all married. Now that they are fleeing famine, it is natural to greet each in-law.

Although she doesn't have a daughter in her own family, Qi Cheng is not a black-hearted mother-in-law who doesn't feel sorry for her daughter-in-law.

The daughters-in-law were all red-eyed at the moment, each carrying a small basket, and just followed their man out of the house.

Qi Cheng looked at Yi Meng who was coming out of the kitchen, and said, "Meng Niang, you..."

"Mother, I don't need to move around anymore. I will let Brother Quan and Sixth Brother accompany you back to your mother's house later. I will do the housework, and I will talk about the unfinished work when the sisters-in-law come back."

Yi Meng had a smile on her face, very gentle, not at all unhappy.

She doesn't have a natal family, so even if she wants to move around at this time, she doesn't know where to go.

Qi Cheng's throat was congested, and he came to Yi Meng in a few steps, grabbed her hand and patted it lightly: "Good boy, don't be afraid, this is your home. If the fourth brother dares to treat you badly in the future , I won’t recognize her anymore, you will be my mother’s daughter.”

"Ah."

Yi Meng's heart warmed: "Okay, mother, we will have more chances to talk in the future, so let's hurry up and visit my grandmother's house now!"

Qi Cheng also has her natal family, but there are no parents, only brothers from her natal family. As for the sisters, they have married far away and have not contacted for many years.

Qi Cheng still wanted to say something, but knew that now was not the time to chat, so he urged Quan Jin and Quan Yin to go out with him.

Qi Zheng wanted to follow, but Qi Cheng refused.

There is no one man in the family, only the children of the grandchildren, she is worried.

Standing at the door and watching the family go away, Yi Meng sniffed, turned around and entered the yard, closed the gate, and began to prepare for the next journey.

Qi Zheng didn't go back to Yue's house with his old wife, but he didn't plan to stay at home either, and took his grandchildren to make wooden carts.

A piece of wood, the surface is polished smooth, so as not to have burrs to prick your hands.

Two triangular frames were nailed under the board, and then a round, thicker wooden board was made, a hole was cut in the middle, a wooden stick was inserted, and the wooden stick was inserted into the two triangular frames, and finally the wooden Two pieces of wood are nailed to both ends of the stick, which is more than the stick.

Pushing the wooden cart in this way, the wheels will not be easily scattered.

The front and rear sides of the rectangular plank are treated.

At one end are two handles made of wood, which can be pushed and walked.

At the other end, two holes were made, and the hemp rope was passed through, so that it could be pulled in front.

Such a wooden cart is not as good as a wooden cart made by a carpenter, but it can also be used.

There are a lot of things to take with them on the way to escape from famine, and they don't have animals to pull the cart. It's better to have such a wooden cart than relying on people to carry things on the road.

The grandparents and grandchildren were busy with their work, and even the younger langs followed suit.

"Mother! Mother!"

Qi Manman's voice came from the four houses.

Yi Meng heard it, and hurriedly put down the work in hand, and walked quickly towards the house while wiping her hands on the apron.

"Man Bao'er is awake? Come here, mother will dress you."

As soon as Yi Meng entered the room, she saw her daughter sitting on the kang with chicken coop hair, calling herself at the top of her voice.

When Qi Manman saw Yi Meng, he immediately grinned and smacked his fleshy fingers at Yi Meng: "Mom, come here quickly!"

"What's wrong with this kid?"

Yi Meng was puzzled, but she still walked forward.

Qi Manman also crawled towards his mother, and when he was in front of her, he opened his little hands like presenting a treasure.

There is a black stone the size of a fingernail in the white and tender palm.

Yi Meng looked at it and immediately frowned: "Where did you pick up the stones, kid? I didn't see it when I bathed you yesterday!"

"Mom, this isn't a stone, it's space!"

Qi Manman said in a low voice: "This is the space given by Taibaijinxing! There is also the spiritual spring that mother mentioned!"

"What?"

Yi Meng was dumbfounded: "You child, why are you talking nonsense so early in the morning?"

Saying that, Yi Meng raised her hand to touch her daughter's forehead, thinking that her daughter was sick.

Qi Man shook his head unhappily, dodged his mother's hand, and stuffed the small stone into the other's hand: "Mother, put it away quickly. Taibai Jinxing said, you know how to do this?" Come on. Mother, hurry up and try to see if there is a space spirit spring or something. If not, I will go and remove Taibai Jinxing's beard!"

Seeing the serious look on the little girl's face, Yi Meng's heart softened, and she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, mother, put it away, you must never think about pulling other people's beards, you understand?"

"If he doesn't give me the truth, if he lies to me, I'll pluck his beard!"

Qi Man was so angry that he pinched his waist with both hands: "Anyway, pull it out!"

"My dear baby, this stone, this space mother will keep it, and mother will dress you and comb your hair first."

Yi Meng just pretended to be a little girl and was still thinking about what she said last night, plus she didn't wake up much, so she was talking nonsense.

He was also afraid that twisting this girl would make her angry, and he would have to spend time coaxing her when he turned around, so he just coaxed her right now.

After all, there is still a lot of work to be done at home, and time is tight, so don't delay.
