Chapter 114 Parents' Heart
Wu Zhang returned to his wife and daughter, and they ran over nervously, "Are you okay? I heard..."
"It's okay." Wu Zhang quickly interrupted his wife, then revealed the crab in his clothes, "Look, what is this!"
"Yeah, it's a crab!"
When the little girl saw the crab, she clapped her hands excitedly, "Daddy is amazing!"
"Of course!" Wu Zhang was naturally proud after hearing his daughter's words, "If the weather hadn't been too cold, daddy would have shot a few rabbits for you to eat."
"Rabbits are so cute, why do you want to eat them?" The little girl was a little confused.
"Okay, don't bring out the greedy girl." Mrs. Wu interrupted them, "We don't have a pot, how can we cook crabs."
"Light it up and roast it!"
After Wu Zhang finished speaking, he looked at his wife and daughter's thin clothes and said, "I'll go find the yamen servant to change some clothes."
"Are they willing?" Mrs. Wu was a little worried. "Don't let them get hurt by then and turn their backs on us."
"So, let's eat first and let the girl be full before we talk." Wu Zhang was also a little worried. Although he knew Xu Tian's character, other government officials may not be as easy to talk to as Xu Tian.
The family of three walked to a place with few people, but not far from the government officials, so that others would not grab it.
Wu Zhang skewered the crabs into balls on sticks and grilled them over the fire. He was not idle after that.
Because he only had a few crabs, it was impossible to get clothes from the government servants, so he wanted to do some handiwork.
However, without a knife, he couldn't weave bamboo products, so he got some vines and made a rattan chair or a rattan bag.
The main thing is to make something practical that other people can use, otherwise the government officials will not accept it at all.
"Daddy, the crab is red, it's red!"
The little girl squatted by the fire, her little face was red from the roasting. She stared at the crab and clapped her hands happily when she saw it turn red.
Wu Zhang made a small bowl with vines, then made chopsticks, put the cooked crabs in the bowl, broke the shells into pieces, and took out the meat inside.
Mrs. Wu was also standing by, taking out all the meat from the crabs and pouring them into the little girl's bowl.
"Father, mother, you eat too!"
The little girl handed over the bowl and asked her parents to eat too, but Wu Zhang shook the crab shell in his hand.
"Daddy has already eaten again, you should eat quickly too!"
Mrs. Wu said the same thing, "Mom is here too. Girl, please eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
The little girl looked at the crab shell in her parents' hands suspiciously. Seeing this, Wu Zhang felt like grabbing the crab shell and sucking it.
Seeing her father eating with such relish, the little girl no longer had any doubts, but she still picked up another piece of meat and handed it over.
"Daddy, the meat is delicious!"
"Dad doesn't like meat, so you can eat it!"
The little girl handed the meat to her mother again, "Mom, you eat meat too..."
Wu also wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Wu Zhang, "Take a bite, as a daughter's filial piety."
Wu then opened her mouth and ate the piece of meat, which was about the same size as mouse droppings.
"have you eaten!"
Seeing his daughter finish eating, Wu Zhang asked, but the little girl nodded, "I'm full."
"Grumble!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl's stomach rumbled, obviously she wasn't full.
"Children can't lie!" Wu Zhang said seriously.
The little girl nodded, but hugged her father's legs nervously, "Dad, the water is cold, no crabs, I'm not hungry."
Obviously, the little girl is very smart and considerate. She knew that her father caught crabs from the river and it was so cold that she was afraid they would freeze, so she lied.
Wu Zhang was deeply moved, but he smiled and said, "It's okay, dad is an adult and is not afraid of the cold."
Although he said this, he still felt very guilty in his heart, and then he decided to roast all the crabs. The remaining crabs didn't have much meat, and they couldn't be exchanged for anything if they were given to the yamen.
It is better to give it to my daughter to replenish her body.
He continued to make wicker chairs and other things, intending to use these things to exchange, and he already had another idea.
…………
I don’t know how long it took, but he wove a few small baskets and a wicker chair. It was called a wicker chair, but it was actually a small stool.
Then he took these things to find the yamen servant, but unfortunately, Xu Tian was not there, and he didn't know where he went.
Wu Zhang had no choice but to choose a yamen servant who seemed easier to talk to, and then told him his thoughts.
However, the yamen servant shook his head and refused, "We don't have any extra clothes."
In fact, they did not. There was nothing on the carriage except food.
Moreover, they are not interested in Wu Zhang's things at all.
"Can I exchange for some food?" Wu Zhang hesitated for a while and couldn't help but ask.
"No."
The yamen servant refused without hesitation, "This thing is worthless, how can it be exchanged for food, if you buy it with money, it's almost the same."
"I……"
Wu Zhang sighed. If he had money, he would have taken it out long ago. Unfortunately, he was just a servant before and didn't have much savings at all. He was plundered by Captain Sun and others for a while, so he didn't have much money at all.
In desperation, he just tried one last resort.
In fact, he considered selling these things to other prisoners, but now that everyone knows the importance of money, they would not waste money at all. In addition, Captain Sun and the bandits searched for a while, and everyone didn't have much money.
Therefore, they will not waste money on buying extra things. They just say that this wicker chair is not necessary for the prisoners. If they want to sit, they can just sit on the ground.
…………
"Miss, someone is looking for Mr. Chen!"
Chen Xue is using bamboo pieces to conceive a bamboo house. After all, she has collected so much bamboo that she can build a bamboo house.
However, none of them knew how to build a bamboo house, so they discussed and built the simplest one. The roof would not be built for the time being, since it would not rain or be exposed to the sun in the space.
Therefore, they only need to get some bamboo to surround a few small rooms so that they can have room to rest.
Therefore, Chen Xue came up with the design of the room. Although she could not build a bamboo house, she had seen a bamboo house before. Coupled with the shape of the room in her previous life, she must come up with a better design.
It's just that she had a good idea, but when Mr. Chen and others actually operated it, she became numb.
Just like they have brains but not hands, they put bamboos in a row, but they don't know how to make doors and windows.
And they looked back at the sheepfold and found that it was no different from the bamboo house they were building now.
Therefore, Chen Xuezheng was depressed, and then he heard that someone was looking for him, and he became a little curious.
After getting off the carriage, I saw a man with several small baskets hanging on his waist and a wicker chair in his hand.
"You are……"
The man immediately introduced himself respectfully and explained his purpose of coming. In order to avoid Chen Xue misunderstanding, he quickly explained clearly that he wanted to buy some clothes for his daughter to avoid frostbite.
Chen Xue waved her hand, interrupted him, and stared at him, "Can you build a bamboo house?"
The man was a little confused, but he nodded, "Yes, the villain was a craftsman before."
