Chapter 139 I Want to Eat a Bowl of Noodles
The villagers gathered together, talked about the difficulties along the way, and recalled their previous experiences in the village.
I didn’t realize it when I was in the village, but now I realize that the days back then were also very happy.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the four greatest joys in life.
In addition to the difficulties they had to endure along the way, even if they were just ordinary people with whom they had a close relationship before.
After experiencing the dangers of fleeing famine, it is inevitable that one's heart will soften when seeing old friends again.
During the conversation, Zhuzi's wife drank too much porridge and wanted to go to the bathroom.
Because she was not familiar with the inn, she wanted Lu Qingqing to take her to find the toilet.
As soon as she stood up, Dani followed immediately, following closely behind her mother.
Zhuzi's wife originally wanted her to stay in the house, but when she saw her face full of fear, her heart ached, so she let her go.
Lu Qingqing walked in front to lead the way, and Zhuzi's wife and Dani followed behind.
In the past, this child would have come up to Lu Qingqing and talked to her.
At this moment, it was too quiet.
At this time, the waiter came upstairs with a bowl of fragrant noodles, and when he saw a few people, he quickly made way for them.
Dani saw the noodles, tugged at her mother's sleeve, and whispered:
"It's noodles. It's the noodles my sister wants to eat."
When Zhuzi's wife heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red.
She held back her tears, picked up Dani and continued walking forward.
Lu Qingqing could see that she was in a bad mood, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.
After all, Erni was missing when their family came, and they were probably in great danger.
When Zhuzi's wife saw Lu Qingqing looking at her, she forced a bitter smile and said:
"The last thing Erni said before she died was that she wanted to eat a bowl of noodles."
As he spoke, his voice began to tear up:
"Before she passed away, Erni was lying in my arms, looking at me with her eyes wide open. She was so thin that she was just a bag of bones, as small as a kitten. I held her in my hands and watched her die!"
"She's such a good child, how could God be willing to take her away!"
When Zhuzi's wife said this, she burst into tears.
Dani hurriedly tried to wipe the tears from her mother's face, but she couldn't wipe them all away.
Seeing her mother crying, tears began to fall from Dani's eyes.
The child cried without making any sound, but just shed tears silently, which made people feel even more heartbroken.
Zhuzi's wife pulled her clothes to wipe the tears of her child, but she couldn't stop crying on her own face.
She said in a crying voice:
"Don't cry, Mom. My eldest daughter is still by my side, accompanying me on behalf of the second daughter!"
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but wipe away her tears, but she could only silently go forward and hug the two of them.
Zhuzi's wife took a while to recover, wiped away her tears and said:
"Daya, please don't laugh at your sister-in-law. I feel so depressed. I don't know whether my family is alive or dead. I have no one to talk to. I..."
Lu Qingqing also wiped the tears from her face and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's okay, everything will be fine, and we can all live well!"
These words seemed to be spoken to Zhuzi's wife, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.
The three of them returned to the room, and the villagers chatted for a long time before dispersing.
After everyone left, Lu Qingqing also found some daily necessities such as iron pots and clothes from the space and gave them to Zhuzi and his wife.
Most of these were found in the bandits' car at the time, such as iron pots and clothes. The bandits had a lot of them.
Lu Qingqing bought all these daily necessities before fleeing the famine.
They had no use for these, so they gave them to Zhuzi's family.
When Zhuzi's wife saw these things, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
These things are what they lack the most now, and you can tell at a glance that they have been carefully thought out.
Zhuzi, a man, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes at this moment.
The two men were now penniless and had nothing except the bag of food that Lu Tianming had asked them to deliver.
The things sent by Daya and Qin Lang are really a timely help.
Zhuzi and his wife thanked him repeatedly, and they both secretly decided to make money as soon as possible and not take advantage of others like this.
Lu Qingqing asked the two of them to have a good rest and then took Qin Lang back to the house.
In the pillar house.
After Zhuzi's wife coaxed Dani to sleep, the two sat at the table and discussed how to make money.
They had just arrived in An County and were unfamiliar with the place. They wanted to find a job, so the best thing to do was to ask the innkeeper.
The couple discussed for a long time before going to bed.
Early the next morning, Zhuzi and his wife went to ask the shopkeeper about the situation.
The two men then realized that it was not easy to find work. A few days ago, locusts had just passed through the area and all the crops in the fields had been eaten up.
These days, more and more people come to the city to find work.
If there were no entrance fee, more people would enter the city.
The two men begged for a long time and asked for less money.
Because many people from Lujia Village stayed in the inn, the shopkeeper finally introduced a job of laundry and mending to Zhuzi's wife.
He introduced Zhuzi to a nearby shop to do some moving and carrying. Although it was tiring, at least he had an income.
That day, Qin Lang did not go to the city gate, so Lu Qingqing dragged him to the street. She wanted to go to the shop to buy some more clothes and shoes.
When she was sorting out her clothes and shoes yesterday, she found that her previous clothes were a little too small.
When Qin Lang came back, he asked him to try on his previous clothes and shoes.
As a result, not only were the clothes too small, but the shoes were also a bit tight.
The two of them were growing up, so they not only needed more food, but also more clothes.
There was a lot of money in the space, and Lu Qingqing was too lazy to make it herself, so she planned to buy something ready-made.
While it’s still convenient to buy things now, I might as well buy more and buy bigger pieces so I can wear them later.
The two of them carried their backpacks and went straight to the clothing store. The store had a wide variety of clothes, and the materials were better than what they had worn before.
The waiter introduced the clothes enthusiastically, and seeing that Lu Qingqing was a little girl, he called a woman out.
The woman spoke in a gentle tone, and what she said when introducing Lu Qingqing was very pertinent.
As expected, you get what you pay for, and this saying applies everywhere.
The variety of materials and styles dazzled Lu Qingqing.
In ancient times, the materials worn by common people and officials and dignitaries were clearly distinguished.
Only princes, nobles and officials could wear high-end materials such as brocade, silk and satin, while ordinary people could only wear coarse cloth, silk and plain gauze.
This store should be doing business for the common people. Lu Qingqing did not see the kind of clothes with dark patterns that the young master wore in the store.
After listening to the woman's introduction, Lu Qingqing decided to buy a few more sets of inner and outer clothes.
The outer clothes Lu Qingqing chose were all made of inconspicuous and cheap materials, so that she could blend in with the crowd while fleeing from the famine.
Seeing that Qin Lang had a light-colored coat underneath the coat he had chosen, Lu Qingqing didn't stop him. At worst, he could just wear this coat in the space.
Thinking that most refugees on the road wore patched clothes, Lu Qingqing asked the woman if she could sew a few patches on her clothes.
Although the woman was puzzled, she nodded and indicated that she could pick out a few pieces of scraps of cloth to sew together.
After choosing the outer garment, Lu Qingqing picked the most comfortable material when choosing the inner garment.
