cross the little daughter-in-law

Chapter 30
"You will?" He questioned, mainly because she was too young, maybe only five or six years old now.

"Hmm!" Gu Mai nodded. "I saw my dad cleaned up the chickens, so I know what needs to be washed."

He Beichen said. "Okay, then you pack it up, I'm going to find firewood."

Gu Maimai searched around, and found another broken iron basin and a stubbled casserole. "Let's make some more rice!"

Gu Maimai grabbed a few handfuls of rice and put them in the casserole and handed them to him. "Brother, by the way, wash the rice and bring it back!"

He Beichen frowned. "You only have this little food. If you eat it until your father comes back, it won't be enough."

"But I'm hungry, let's eat now." Gu Maimai said pitifully.

In fact, she was really hungry. She hadn't had a full meal for a long time, and looking at the snow-white chicken, she was already salivating just looking at the raw meat. When the meat was cooked, she would not be hungrier.

Thinking of rice in chicken soup, the aroma of chicken soup permeates every grain of plump rice, and Gu Mai's saliva starts to flood.

He Beichen grabbed the rice back and ordered it, leaving only a little grain of rice. "These are enough for you alone, brother is not hungry, so don't eat."

Gu Mai pouted. "How can my brother not be hungry... Anyway, I don't care, I want my brother to eat with me." She grabbed some rice and put it in the casserole.

He Beichen was particularly worried about her. "Little sister, food is really not eaten like this. You must be hungry when the time comes."

Gu Mai smiled. "No, I weighed it before and said it was four catties of fine grains, and I can exchange it for 16 catties of coarse grains. Now we eat a little bit, and it is estimated that it only uses four or two meters, so I still have three catties and six taels of rice left. , At that time, I can still exchange fourteen catties for four taels of coarse grains, and these coarse grains will definitely be enough for me to eat until my father comes back."

He Beichen touched Gu Maimai's head, his eyes looked like looking at a little fool.

Gu Mai was a little unconvinced. "Brother, did I make a mistake in my calculation? I don't think I made a mistake in my calculation."

"You're not wrong. But you have to know that now everyone doesn't have enough to eat coarse grains, and no one will trade coarse grains with you." He Beichen said a practical problem.

Uh... Gu Maimai just thought of this. She was really too busy remembering the exchange of prices now, forgetting that people at this time would rather eat a basket of rotten apricots than a good peach.

"That's okay, anyway, we'll just eat this meal, and I'll just eat it more carefully in the future, and I can get some coarse grains in exchange. And if my father comes back early..."

Seeing that He Beichen still did not agree, Gu Maimai continued. "If I really don't have enough to eat, my little brother will come and help me find a way to continue catching pheasants for me to eat, okay!"

He Beichen nodded. "Okay, a hare will come out in a few days. I'll catch a hare for you. The meat of the hare is fatter and more fragrant."

"Okay...then let's eat rice and chicken properly today." Gu Xiaomai's mouth was drooling just hearing the word 'hare'.

She forced herself to calm down, the pheasant hasn't eaten yet, so it's better to get rid of the pheasant first.

……

He Beichen went to the river to wash the rice, then filled the water again, and sat the casserole on another fire.

Gu Maimai has also cleaned up the pheasant, washed it, and then used a knife to remove a few pieces of the pheasant and put it in a pot to stew.
