Chapter 262: Learn to Protect Food

Several people looked at each other, can things be understood this way?

It sounds like it makes sense?

As expected of their mother, her ideas are unique.

Bai Yunxi looked at the child who was eagerly waiting to be taught, took a breath, and said seriously,

"We must protect our things and not let others take them away easily. Once you get used to being robbed, anything you have will be easily taken away by others."

"You must remember that our things cannot be taken away by others even if it is a needle. Just like today, your cousin and his wife obviously followed us here. They came here to take advantage. Knowing that they have impure intentions, you still have to give in. They deserve to be bullied."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Li nodded firmly while holding the hoe,

"Mom is right. We cannot let others take away a single grain of our food. Whoever tries to take it will fight to the death."

Bai Yunxi likes people like Li. Although she has a simple personality, she knows how to protect food. This alone is gratifying.

"Mom, we understand." Bai Anyan nodded thoughtfully, holding the hoe and continuing to dig kudzu roots.

In order to spend the winter safely, the family worked hard. When the sun was setting, they finally finished digging the kudzu roots in this area.

Looking at the pile of kudzu roots on the ground, Bai Yunxi was a little worried. How could they transport them back?

With just a few people, they estimated that they would have to run two trips.

Just when she was worried, she saw Bai Anyan was already bundling them.

He tied the big kudzu roots into bundles, just like carrying firewood, and put the small and broken ones into cloth bags.

Then he used the cloth bag to support the bottom, stacked another bundle on it, and then tied them together with ropes to fix them, and then hung them on the shoulder pole.

One shoulder pole was equivalent to hanging four bundles of kudzu roots, and he and Li each carried one.

The rest were put into baskets and let the fourth and fifth children carry them, while she only had to carry the tools.

Bai Yunxi looked at the overloaded poles of the second son and his wife, and was really afraid that they would break.

"Son, is this okay? Will it be too tiring?"

"Mom, no problem, I usually carry firewood like this." Bai Anyan tried it and said with a smile.

"It's not close from here to the foot of the mountain. If it's too tiring, it's better to unload some of it and hide it in a place with dense bushes. Come back and carry it home tomorrow morning."

Bai Anyan listened and shook his head directly,

"Mom, don't be so troublesome. It's not a problem for Li and I to carry one pole each. It's hard to dig it. If it's taken away by someone else, it will be a pity."

Although the uncle and aunt were sent away by the mother, if they reacted, they would definitely come to see the situation again. He didn't want to give away the things he dug with great effort.

Although he was not as smart as his elder brother and brothers, he was not stupid.

Bai Yunxi looked at their persistence and didn't say anything. It was hard work, after all, it was food.

Along the way, I watched the second and Li's shoulder poles being deformed by the pressure, and I sighed in my heart. When I got home, their shoulders were red and swollen.

Fortunately, there was such a pair of strong laborers at home, otherwise they would definitely not be able to get home with four trips each.

When they arrived at the door with their things, the last ray of light in the sky disappeared.

Hearing the movement at the door, Du rushed out of the kitchen, opened the gate, and looked at everyone with a worried face,

"You are finally back, why are you so late today? Is the road difficult to walk or have you entered the mountains again?"
