Quick wear greedy little koi

On the way back, we met some people who were going up the mountain. We greeted each other. Most of them were children going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood.

After telling them not to go into the mountains, Qiu Zhuang went back.

No one had any doubts. After all, how could they go into the mountains with Qiu Lin?

I look at the wild vegetables and dry firewood in Qiu Zhuang’s bamboo baskets with envy, they are so impressive!

Then he looked at the wild vegetables in his bamboo basket. There were only a few of them. He hurried to find them. Whether he could have enough to eat today depended on how many wild vegetables he could find.

The economy of this village is almost the same, except that the Qiu family has fewer laborers. If the others have a few more laborers than them, their lives will be much better, but they are not yet at the point where they can eat meat at will.

If the Qiu family wants to eat meat, they can only go up the mountain to look for it. If there is no meat, it is really gone.

When they got home, Xin Jin was so tired that she fell asleep. Qiu Zhuang put the little girl in his arms into Lin Xi's hands. Lin Xi took over and put the little girl in the room.

When Xinjin woke up, it was still light outside. She was awakened by hunger. Thinking of the pheasants and rabbits she had caught today, she ran to the kitchen excitedly.

"Mom, meat, meat, I want to eat meat." He sniffed, but didn't smell anything. He felt a little strange and his whole face wrinkled.

Lin Xi looked at the little girl who was running towards him, stroked her face with his skinny hands, and gritted his teeth at her greedy look.

"Okay, we'll eat meat tonight." She had planned to secretly sell two pheasants and a wild rabbit tomorrow morning, but when she saw her daughter's expression, she decided to give the rabbit to her daughter and sell the pheasant. As for the eggs, there were not many, so she saved them for the child to make frangipani.

Frangipani is made by beating eggs into a bowl, adding some sugar, either white sugar or brown sugar, or some salt, and then pouring boiling water over it. It is an especially delicious food for children.

"Nannan, be good. Go out and play for a while. Mommy will finish cooking, and then we can eat together."

As he said that, he took out the tortillas he had made earlier from the kitchen and gave them to Xinjin.

At this time, the tortillas are mixed with other things, which make them hard and difficult to chew.

But at this time, the family is not picky, and it’s good enough to have something to eat.

Xin Jin broke it in half and said, "Mom, eat it."

Lin Xi shook her head, "Nannan, be good. Mommy is not hungry. You eat."

Xin Jin was unmoved and continued, "Mom, eat."

Seeing Qiu Lin's determination, Lin Xi had no choice but to take it. He took a bite and felt sweet in his heart.

Xinjin took a bite but couldn't bite it, and looked at his mother pitifully.

Lin Xi laughed, took a small bowl, and poured warm water into it, "Nannan, soak it in water and eat it when it's soft."

Xinjin learned his lesson this time and waited until it became soft before eating. He took a bite and it was not tasty, with no flavor and a little hard to swallow. Is human food so disgusting?

Xinjin was a little skeptical? She didn't quite understand. She ate a little bit, but felt she wasn't hungry anymore, so she refused to eat.

Lin Xi saw Xin Jin's frowning expression, thought for a moment, then took out a pheasant egg from the kitchen and made frangipani drink for Xin Jin.

Compared with the previous one, this frangipani is so delicious.

Xin Jin decided that she would go to pick up eggs more often and ask her mother to make her frangipani to drink. After drinking half of it, Xin Jin gave it to her mother and forced Lin Xi to drink it.

Lin Xi didn't want to drink it. She wanted to keep it secret for a while and wait for her son to come back and drink it.

Seeing Nannan looking at her, she took a sip.

Xin Jin was happy then, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find a lot of eggs and bring them back so that everyone in the family can eat them until they don't want to eat anymore."

Lin Xi laughed. How could anyone not want to eat such a good thing as eggs? And he did not undermine his daughter's self-confidence.

Perfunctorily, "Okay, then mom will wait."

After making sure her daughter was out, Lin Xi put down the bowl. Half of it was still filled with frangipani. She had just taken a small sip.

Xinjin was playing in the yard and didn't know how much time had passed.

The eldest brother Qiu Jin came back from school. He was seven years old and a big boy. His family was poor, but Qiu Zhuang insisted on letting him go to school.

In his hand, he was holding a large handful of pig grass that he had seen on the road, enough for the pigs to eat.

Seeing Qiu Jin, Xin Jin moved slightly and was stopped.

"Linlin, be good. Big brother is dirty. I will hold you in my arms later."

Qiu Jin put his things away, went to wash up, and picked up Xin Jin after he was clean.

"Linlin, have you been well behaved today?" His tone was very gentle. He really liked this younger sister.

Xin Jin also hugged Qiu Jin, "Lin Lin was very obedient today. She went to the mountain with Dad and brought back a rabbit, two pheasants, and a lot of eggs."

She couldn't count yet and didn't know how many eggs there were.

Qiu Jin's eyes lit up, he swallowed and held back his saliva, "Well, when the time comes, let Dad buy Linlin some nice hairpins and dress her up beautifully."

Qiu Jin touched Linlin's hairband. It was bought last year and was a bit old.

Xin Jin shook her head and refused, "I don't want pretty hairpins, I want to eat meat, lots of meat." What's the use of hairpins, eating meat is the most important thing.

Qiu Jin's eyes darkened. It seemed that he had to speed up so that his family could have meat to eat, otherwise Linlin would be greedy for the meat from other families.

"Mom, brother, sister, I'm back." A cheerful voice sounded, the voice arrived before the person arrived, this must be what it meant.

I was very excited just by listening to the sound, as if something good was happening.

Qiu Qiang walked in quickly. He was wearing black and gray clothes with patches on them. His clothes were wet and still dripping with water. His pants were covered in mud, and he was holding something in his hands.

Seeing the two people, he excitedly handed the food over, "Sister, look, my second brother caught an eel. We will cook the eel tonight. It's very delicious."

Thinking of the taste, he swallowed his saliva. He had been craving for meat for a long time, but he didn't dare to tell anyone about the situation at home. Now he finally caught the eel and could eat the meat. He must be so happy.

Xin Jin looked at the eels in the bucket. There were not many, just two. She had never eaten this before.

"Brother, is this delicious?" Liang Jingjing looked at Qiu Qiang.

“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”

As expected, I received the admiring look from my sister, which made me even more proud.

Qiu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the boastful Qiu Qiang, and asked, "You went into the river?"

Qiu Qiang paused and said, "Brother, I'll just go in a little bit, not deep..." His voice gradually weakened under Qiu Jin's gaze.

"Have you caught bugs to feed the chickens? Are the chickens full?"

Qiu Qiang's voice became weaker, and he couldn't help but retort, "I caught a little bit, and I'm half full."

Qiu Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Qiang coldly, "Have you finished your homework?"

Qiu Qiang didn't dare to speak at all. He hadn't written yet and was trembling with fear. Why was his brother so scary today?

"Hurry up and take a shower and do your homework."

"Oh, oh!" Qiu Qiang was a little unhappy. ?╭╮?
