After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 24 Hiding Food

Fang Nanzhi was small, but her father ate a lot. He was tired after a day and a night, and he ate four large bowls of rice porridge and pickled vegetables.

After eating, he took a nap for a while. It was already dark outside. He stood up, took the knife and put it on his body, and then carried two large bags of food, which weighed about 100 kilograms in total.

Qian Fengping was a little worried: "It's completely dark outside now. Can you go up the mountain alone? Let's go together."

"We have to go hide in the mountains before dark." Fang Tong comforted her: "Don't worry, I've walked this mountain road many times, it will be fine. If you go, I will still take care of you, you just stay home and look after the children."

Qian Fengping knew very well that these were all words to comfort her.

She took out a simple sachet and tied it to his clothes. The sachet had no pattern and was made of pure cloth. It was bulging inside and looked quite big.

"There are some herbs in here that can repel insects, as well as realgar powder and hemostatic medicine. I'll feel more at ease if you take them with you."

In recent years, Qin Yan went into the mountains to hunt, and Qian Fengping was worried, so she figured out how to prepare some medicine kits herself.

There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain, which is fine, but if you encounter a ferocious beast...

Fang Tong felt warm in his heart: "Thank you, Mother Qian."

Qin Yan reminded him, "Uncle San, there might be other people on the mountain tonight, so we can't take the original route. However, if we really encounter any danger, call for help."

Fang Tong thought so too. Everyone was starving. They knew there were yams on the mountain during the day, so someone must have gone out in the dark to look for them despite the danger.

After all, if you find something privately, you don’t have to share it with the whole village. If you find it, you’ll make a profit.

Fang Tong nodded: "Small problem, I'll just try another route."

The cave Qin Yan mentioned is almost at the top of the mountain.

Villagers usually dig wild vegetables and chop firewood, and few people go to the top of the mountain.

But Fang Tong was an exception. He was idle on weekdays and would run to the mountains when he had nothing to do. He knew several ways to the top of the mountain.

Qian Fengping was still worried, so she took out a sickle and put it on his waist.

If something really happens, there will be a tool to deal with it. If there were not only two children at home, both of whom are powerless, she would have gone with him today no matter what.

Fang Tong left.

The house feels strangely empty.

Qian Fengping looked at Fang Nanzhi and coaxed her gently, "Zhizhi, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

In the past, Fang Nanzhi always slept with her father. After all, she was young, and the houses in the countryside were not big, so it was normal for fathers and daughters to sleep in the same room.

There is no adult accompanying her today, and I don’t know if the little girl will be scared.

Fang Nanzhi shook her head, "No, I want to sleep alone!"

Qian Fengping felt sorry, but respected her, "Okay."

She also wants to experience coaxing her daughter to sleep.

That night.

The room was pitch black, and Fang Nanzhi was the only one in the room. The little girl was lying on the bed, the quilt was warm, she was looking at the dark mud roof, she was very excited.

Fang Nanzhi is studying the system.

In front of you is the reward interface displayed by the system.

There are all kinds of delicious food in it.

Flavorful and fragrant pig's trotters, snail noodles, lobster, rice cakes, pork floss and egg yolk dumplings, golden garlic shrimp, crab meat and lion's head, eight-treasure duck, garlic spare ribs, mutton soup with steamed buns, Dongpo pork, squirrel fish, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, sweet and sour pork...

It was all golden, and Fang Nanzhi was drooling at the sight.

"This looks delicious, soft, sticky, rich but not greasy, and has a savory and salty flavor."

"Dad said that shrimp are fresh and salty with a slightly sweet taste."

Fang Nanzhi's gluttony was aroused.

[Brother System, when can you reward me with that soft and sticky pork elbow?]

System: [It’s hard to say, the rewards are all random.]

The light in Fang Nanzhi's eyes disappeared.

But perhaps fearing she'd lose heart, the system didn't forget to offer her a big promise: [Maybe next time it'll be what you want to eat? No one can say for sure.]

The light in Fang Nanzhi's eyes returned.

【I must complete more tasks! 】

System: Children are so easy to fool.

Fang Nanzhi kept looking at the delicious food until late at night.

I don’t know when I fell asleep.

I vaguely heard very light footsteps coming from outside the yard.

Fang Nanzhi suddenly sat up from the kang.

The door creaked and Fang Tong came back.

Fang Nanzhi yawned: "Daddy! You're finally back!"

"You don't know, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night."

Fang Tong looked at the sleep marks on his daughter's face, hmm... there was also a piece of eye mucus. He kept silent without exposing her, "Hmm."

The man was too tired to talk, so he just lay down on the kang, closed his eyes and gasped for breath.

He needs to take a good rest.

Fang Nanzhi took out the things he had prepared earlier: "Dad, you must be tired, I'll give you some milk!"

Fang Tong opened his eyes suspiciously, and happened to see a rectangular bag of something in unknown packaging, which felt soft to the touch.

He lowered his voice, "Given by the gods? How do you drink it?"

Fang Nanzhi also took out a bag: "Dad, look at me, this is how I drink it."

As he said this, he bit open the package, but because he bit too hard, two drops of milk leaked out, and he quickly used his mouth to catch it.

This is good stuff, don't waste it!

Fang Tong imitated him and bit open the package. The sweet, fragrant and mellow milk entered his mouth. The rich aroma on the tip of his tongue was something he had never experienced in his life.

At that moment, the man's eyes lit up.

He had heard of milk.

Apart from the young masters and young ladies from wealthy families, how could ordinary people have the right to drink it?

Rich people eat so well.

Fang Nanzhi felt the same way.

If only one day she could drink milk as water.

Why can’t what flows out of the well be milk?

Reluctant to drink it all in one breath, the father and daughter took small sips every now and then, savoring it slowly.

Fang Tong smacked his lips. "How many of these are left?"

Fang Nanzhi asked the system: "There are still twenty-two bags."

"That's quite a lot." Fang Tong pondered. "My dear, we can't drink this good stuff just by ourselves. Your Aunt Qin and brother are very good to us. We can't be the ones who are ungrateful, right?"

Fang Nanzhi nodded, "But how do we tell my aunt and brother?"

This is a question worth thinking about.

The father and daughter sat facing each other quietly for a while, but they couldn't figure it out, and they finished drinking the milk.

Fang Tong lay back and said, "Forget it, now that things have come to this, let's go to sleep first."

Think about it slowly before falling asleep.

Fang Tong slept until noon.

Qian Fengping didn't call him and went up the mountain early in the morning. But before leaving, she specially left four large bowls of porridge and pickled vegetables for Fang Tong.

In the mountains.

"Oh, isn't this Widow Qin?" Aunt Liu laughed. "You've only been married for a few days, and you're already out digging yams on your own?"

There was a hint of ridicule and sarcasm in these words.

In secret, she had remarried, and calling her a widow was like cursing someone.

Qian Fengping didn't say anything, but someone next to her took over.

"Isn't it, Sister Qian? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's useless for a man to be good-looking. Being responsible is what's most important."
