I had just given birth to my daughter and hadn't had time to put on weight yet, and this happened to me.

It seems that my daughter is right. You really can’t eat bacon in a hurry now that you’re craving it. Gaining weight doesn’t happen in a day or two.

Carefully, he turned around and took his daughter back to the kitchen. He immediately noticed that Ah Jiu's hands were trembling, and his eyes were a little panicked, like a helpless little wild cat.

My heart ached: "Good boy, my mother is here. If your father dares to leave our mother behind, I will break my legs for him..."

Ah Jiu looked at her mother longingly, still feeling uneasy. She still didn't know how powerful the Li family was.

Not long after, Meng Shaode rushed into the kitchen in a panic, not knowing what to say for a long time:

"Lihua, let's, let's pack our things and run away. I heard there's going to be a war."

"Didn't your mother tell you not to take us two with you? More people mean more mouths."

Cai Lihua was saying mean things, but they had already started to pack up. You only need to bring three pairs of dishes and chopsticks. You must bring a kitchen knife, and you should consider using it for self-defense even if it is not used for cooking.

Ah Jiu was so scared that she lowered her head to help her mother pack her things.

"What are you talking about out of anger? Why don't we leave? We can go together. After all, we are also a family."

Meng Shaode was no longer in an upset mood. He sat down on the ground feeling upset, threw his neck and muttered:

"Old man, we have an ox cart, but we have nothing. Can't we walk? At worst, I will carry you on my back, and you will carry Ah Jiu. I am so strong that I can't run as fast as the ox."

Ah Jiu took another look at his father, and he had never felt that his father was so responsible.

But why is the picture created by Dad’s words so evil?

No matter what, if you leave Xinghua Village overnight, you might be able to avoid the Li family's clutches.

Ah Jiu put away her thoughts and hurriedly gathered her thoughts. The most lacking thing on the drought-ridden road now was actually water.

I have a water bag made of cow bladder at home, which can also hold some water.

There is only one bed sheet at home, which has been patched several times, but it can be used as a baggage.

I only have a few pieces of clothing, and sometimes it’s cloudy and I don’t even have a change of clothes, so it’s easy to pack.

After everything was packed, the baggage was still flat. As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw my father carrying a pole with two buckets of water hanging on it.

The setting sun on the horizon was completely swallowed up by the night, and the sounds of cars and people could be heard scattered outside the courtyard.

"Ajiu, let's go. Dad has made up his mind to go to your grandma's house and let's go together."

Meng Shaode's words about Yuehua brought him back to reality.

Ah Jiu thought that they were acting alone as a family, which was not what they agreed to do just now.

"Our family is poor and we don't have an oxcart. Otherwise, carrying these two buckets of water and escaping south would not be enough for the officers and soldiers."

Yes, Ah Jiu remembered that his eldest uncle Meng Shaokang was moving goods for people in Ma Tou, Liuhe, outside the city, and he had saved money to buy a bullock cart a long time ago.

Their family couldn't even afford to raise a chicken. Three years ago, they raised a cow and borrowed money to buy the farmland. Then there was a severe drought. Dad yelled that it was useless to keep the cow and asked his father to sell it.

I exchanged money for drinks, and only this water bag was left.

"Okay." Ah Jiu pursed her lips and nodded. She was about to see Grandma again, and she didn't know what her old man's reaction would be when she found out that Dad hadn't given up on them.

"Let's go, if you have something to do, dad will take care of it." Meng Shaode rubbed Ah Jiu's head, then picked up the pole again and carried the sack.

Ah Jiu stood at the door and looked back. It seemed like she had no feelings for this family in her previous life, so she could just leave as quickly as she wanted.

As soon as we exited the alley, we met the old Chen's family next door, who was loading things into a handlebar cart with a mule tied in front.

Meng Shaode shook his head and walked a lot faster, as if he was too embarrassed to see anyone.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. De? Where's that cow from your early years? Didn't I teach you to drink it?"

Li's words made Meng Shaode blush, and he wanted to imitate a duck and stuff it into his armpit:

"Lihua, ignore him and leave quickly."

"You know how to be shy." Cai Lihua hit the nail on the head and made the fierce-looking man so embarrassed that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Ah Jiu covered her mouth and almost laughed out loud.

As soon as he arrived at the Wang family's ancestral courtyard at the east end of Xinghua Village, Ah Jiu couldn't stop laughing.

Several of the Meng family's uncles and their families were all here.

This family of three stood inside the door, like aliens, and instantly attracted a few sharp glances.
