Chapter 3 Xiaoyou receives the goods
After calculating the time, it feels like it’s almost done.

Song Jinyue no longer stayed in the space and retreated. When she came out, she put potatoes and small apples in a basket, dug some wild vegetables, and left the rest in the space.

After she came out, she walked back. Not long after, she saw Song Hailong and Song Haitao. The expressions on their faces were a little bad. It seemed that they had gained nothing today.

"This, it's true. It seems that there is a famine in eight villages around here. There are people everywhere."

Song Haitao had a look of complaint on his face. He had traveled a long way but had not gained much, and no one was happy.

Song Hailong didn't speak, his frown already represented his mood at the moment. Autumn has just begun, and it's already like this. Winter is coming, and I don't know what to do?
He had considered taking his whole family away from here before, but where could he go? Now, in addition to famines in various places, and frequent wars between countries, plus the disability of the old and young in the family, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Thinking that they were about to get home and couldn't let the family get into trouble, the expressions on the two brothers' faces relaxed and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"Girl Yue, it's time to go home for dinner!"

Song Hailong put on a smile and called Song Jinyue gently.

Song Jinyue raised her head and showed a bright smile.

"Second uncle and third uncle, look, this is what I gained all morning!"

With that said, Song Jinyue walked forward quickly carrying the basket.

"Oh, Jinyue, where did all these potatoes come from?" Song Haitao was shocked. These potatoes were so big. Most of the potatoes they found before were the size of a fist.

One of the potatoes Jinyue found was almost as good as two. There were also these small fruits. She had never seen them before, and she didn’t know what kind of plant they were from.

"Well, over there and over there..."

Song Jinyue pointed at several places with her hand, "How about it, am I good?"

"Great!"

Song Haitao's mood improved. It seemed that food could still be found in the wild.

But seeing the dejected looks of the people around him, he was confused again. So many people didn't notice it, how did Jin Yue find it?
"Stop talking, go home first!"

Song Hailong glanced around cautiously, not wanting to cause any sensation. Now every family is hungry, and some people may do anything for food. The Song family can't afford any trouble now.

Song Haitao immediately stopped talking. He also knew how powerful it was. Previously, it was known that a family had stored a lot of grain, but it was robbed within a few days. It is still unknown who did it.

He put the potatoes and fruits in Song Jinyue's basket into three baskets and buried them tightly with wild vegetables and weeds.

A few people rushed home. When they met many people on the road, they couldn't help but glance at each other's baskets during the conversation. They found that they were also full of wild vegetables and weeds, and everyone felt much more balanced.

"Oh my god, you really opened your eyes!"

"It is estimated that one day we will all be chewing tree bark, eating grass roots, and even eating soil."

There were complaints everywhere in the village.

Brother Song Hailong still had a gloomy look on his face along the way. Sometimes he would be comforted by some people he met, probably telling them not to get too angry and that life would get better.

When they got home, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, it's just a few potatoes. As for this!"

Song Haitao felt like he was sweating all over, but he couldn't help but blame those sneaky people for making people uneasy.

"What's the matter?"

Mrs. Song saw several children coming back and stepped forward to ask.

"Mom, Jinyue has made great achievements today. You see, she found all of this."

As Song Haitao spoke, he opened the wild vegetables first, revealing chubby potatoes and six small, round and red apples.

"Oh, this is really..."

Mrs. Song looked at Song Jinyue with surprise, and Song Jinyue also looked very happy. "Yes, grandma, my second uncle didn't let me go out this morning. Now it seems that if I don't let me out, these things will be cheaper for others."

"I have to say, Girl Yue is still the best!" Song Haitao touched these potatoes and praised them sincerely.

"By the way, Nannan, don't talk nonsense when you go out. If a thief comes to the house, the whole family will starve."

"Ok, I know."

Song Jinnan replied cheerfully, the red fruit looked delicious at first glance.

"This fruit won't last long, I'll wash it first, and everyone can eat it!"

Song Jinyue put the little apples into a pottery basin, took some water, washed them carefully, and then brought them into the house.

Song Haishan stepped forward with crutches. He was not in the mood to eat. His eyes were dull and it was impossible to find so much food every day.

How will we live our lives in the future?
Song Jinyue first took one to Old Mrs. Song. This small apple was particularly floury inside and had a moderate sweetness. There was nothing wrong with the elderly eating it. For them, it was a rare good thing.

"Good boy!"

Mrs. Song's wrinkled face showed a hint of warmth, and she took the fruit with a smile, but there were also thousands of thoughts in her heart.

She could see that the eldest brother obviously had no intention of living anymore. He didn't want to drag down his two younger brothers, but there were some things that he couldn't explain. Almost everyone in this family except Hai Long could be said to be a drag, but they couldn't all die!
Sometimes she thought about ending her life, but then she thought that once she did, she might get off to a bad start and the family would be over. But if it really came to that point, she could only resign herself to fate.

"Everyone, let's eat it. The fruit won't taste good tomorrow."

Song Jinyue actually didn't have much patience with these people, but out of her commitment to the original owner, she would definitely do her best to take care of his family.

The world is difficult. If there is no secret realm, she can only protect herself. As for others, there is really nothing she can do.

At noon, we still had wild vegetable porridge, but we added some sweet potatoes that we had saved at home and mashed them into the pot. Each person had a large bowl, which ensured that everyone was full.

After the meal, Song Jinnan squatted on the ground and tinkered with a bunch of gadgets.

Song Jinyue also helped Mrs. Song clean up the dishes. When she passed Song Jinnan, she saw clearly what was in his hands, which were several green, lifelike straw crickets.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and it was amazing. Sure enough, life was full of hope.

Approaching Song Jinnan, Song Jinyue pointed to the straw cricket in his hand and asked cautiously: "Nan Nan, did you make this yourself?"

In fact, she had an impression that Song Jinnan could compile this, but she didn't really pay attention to it.

"Yes!"

Song Jinnan answered honestly that this was what an old man in the village taught him before. However, the old man passed away now, and thinking of this made him sad again.

"The fabrication is really good. Can you give some to my sister?"

Song Jinyue shamelessly asked Song Jinnan for something. This thing was so well made that it could be used to hand in a task.

It was a handicraft shop that specialized in this kind of stuff.

"Of course, sister, if you like it, I can also weave butterflies and dragonflies!"

Song Jinnan finally found the opportunity to talk to Song Jinyue, and she looked very happy.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that after his sister woke up, she didn't seem to like him very much. For this reason, he had been secretly sad. As long as his sister was willing to pay attention to him, he would be willing to even scold him and bully him.

"Nan Nan, thank you!"

Song Jinyue unceremoniously picked the best ones and took them away, only to find an opportunity to submit the task later. This task was in high demand and happened almost every day, so there was no need to worry about being preempted.

After eating for a while, Song Hailong and Song Haitao were about to go out again.

Little did they know that a group of people had already arrived at the door of the Song Family Courtyard.
