Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

Hua Ke achieved her goal, took the basket without hesitation, and made a small suggestion very sincerely:

"The children are still young. It's not good to beat, scold or threaten them. You can punish them by making them copy big characters or recite scriptures. Reading can make them wise, and it will be great for them to take the imperial examinations in the future. These are what my husband who died early told me. If he were still alive, our family would have appointed a scholar."

Liu Yi and Candou Niang were thoughtful, it seemed that what she said was right. He had heard before that Wen Lin was a good student, and the scholar in the town praised him highly. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. He either had a fever or fell down during the two examinations. He finally got the chance to take part in the examination for the third time, but foreign invaders attacked and he died on the battlefield. God must be displeased with him.

After leaving Liu Yi's house, Daguang and Erguang ran back home quickly, fearing that Hua Ke would come to their house and ask their parents to arrange for them to copy books. They didn't want to memorize those "zhihuzheya" and "the sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and ancient."

Erniu's eyes never left the basket. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and wanted to eat lychee paste.

Hua Ke returned home. Fugui and Fugui had gone to the fields. Li went to wash clothes. Liu was preparing dinner. Seeing the things in the basket, Liu said casually, "Mom, let's cook egg custard tonight. Daniu and Erniu haven't had egg custard for a long time."

"You wish, these are all mine."

Liu said awkwardly, "I just feel sorry for Daniu and the others. It's not what I want to eat."

"You feel sorry for them, but who feels sorry for me? My body was carried up the mountain by my son and daughter-in-law before it was even cold."

Liu stopped talking back. She felt that she would be scolded by the old woman for the rest of her life.

Hua Ke walked into the room with a basket. Si Niu was digging the soil at the foot of his own bed. He didn't even turn his head when he heard the sound. This roommate was really cold.

"Si Niu, do you want to eat eggs? Just call me A Zu and I will give you an egg. Look at you, you are so skinny, like a big-headed doll, not very pretty."

When Si Niu heard about eggs, his hand paused for two seconds. Eggs? They said they were delicious, but he had never eaten them. When Hua Ke complained that he was a big-headed doll and looked ugly, he became unhappy and turned around and gestured to Hua Ke.

"You despise me? You made the wrong gesture this time. The index and middle fingers are raised to form a V, which means you are happy. If you raise your thumbs, it means you admire and appreciate me, and you are praising me for being great and amazing."

Si Niu listened very carefully and raised two middle fingers towards Hua Ke again.

Hua Ke gave him a thumbs up, "Wow, Si Niu is amazing, you learned it in one go. Grandpa will teach you an idiom, repaying evil with kindness. Repay hatred with kindness. I will not bear grudges against you, I will also benefit you. Here, this is a reward egg for you, I will cook it for you later, okay?"

Si Niu was silent. He was clearly trying to mock her, but she still praised him. She was indeed not very smart. No wonder she was laughed at and bullied by others.

But she was the only one in the world who didn't dislike or fear his fingers. She seemed to treat him better. Why?

People in Shicheng Village only eat two meals a day, morning and evening, one at 9:00 p.m. and one at 3:00 p.m.

Hua Ke took two eggs and went out, leaving the rest in the thatched hut.

Others did not dare to have any other opinions about her behavior of not sharing food. After all, Wen Fugui's face was still swollen, and they were afraid that they would be the next person to be beaten.

The eggs were cooked and the steamed buns were ready, and everyone sat together to prepare to eat.

When Hua Ke saw that they didn't think of Si Niu, her face darkened and she slammed her chopsticks on the table, leaving a crack. Everyone was frightened.

Wen Fugui didn't understand and asked in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Are everyone here?" Hua Ke asked in a cold tone.

"It's ready. Didn't we eat right after we finished cooking?"

"Ms. Li, let me ask you, are all the people gathered?"

Li lowered her head, "All ready."

"What do you think, Sanniu?"

Sanniu was frightened by A-Zu's gaze, and stretched out his hand to count the heads, "All ready."

"Xiaozhu, what about you? Do you also feel that everyone is here?"

Wen Xiaozhu was frightened and started crying, "Wow, mom, I'm scared of A-Zu."

Li silently held her in her arms and coaxed her, as she was also afraid of this moody mother-in-law.

Liu thought that her mother-in-law had taken Si Niu to take a bath for the first time, and she was afraid that it was because the little monster got angry. It was strange that her mother-in-law actually paid more attention to her grandson after she fainted once.

Hua Ke turned to Erniu, who had been following her for quite some time, and asked, "Erniu, do you think everyone is here? If you answer correctly, I'll give you some lychee paste."

Erniu: “!!!”

Liu silently raised her six fingers, and Erniu saw it and suddenly realized, "Not all of them! Grandpa, Si Niu hasn't come yet!"

"Wen Fugui, Li, are all the people here now?"

Wen Fugui was stunned, "Mom, I...he..."

"You what? You didn't give birth to him? You're not his father? He what? Isn't he a member of our Wen family? The biggest reason why he became like this is that you, as parents, did not do the right thing! The mistake was that you gave up on him. He was obviously still a child. Did he ever feel the warmth you gave him? When he was a child, I had to borrow other people's goat milk to feed him. Otherwise, he would have starved to death by you."

"When your father was alive, he often told me about brothers being friendly and brothers being respectful, fathers being loving and sons being filial. That bastard died early and was not mad at his two sons. Who would have thought that the two I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy were all bad guys. One was eager to bury his mother, and the other left his son aside and ignored him for three years. Do you think you are still human?"

"I am a widow, and I worked hard to raise you two brothers. In the years of disaster, there was no wild vegetables to pick and everyone was hungry, but I never thought of giving up one of you and running to the town to do hard labor with those big men to feed you. But I didn't expect that you would treat me like this when I was old. You wish I could meet your father sooner, right?"

Wen Fugui lowered his head guiltily. His mother really had a hard time.

Wen Fugui retorted in a low voice: "Mom, I didn't curse you, I know I was wrong. Mom, I also advised my second brother to take good care of Si Niu, but he didn't listen to me as the eldest brother. He turned a deaf ear to my words, and there was nothing I could do." He was just an uncle, and Si Niu's father was still alive.

Wen Fugui's eyes widened as wide as they could. When had his elder brother ever advised him? When had he ever ignored his elder brother's words? Slander! Pure slander! His elder brother was backstabbing him! To divert his mother's attention!

Just as Wen Fugui was stunned, his mother swung her hand towards his forehead, and the next second, Wen Fugui fell to the ground with the stool.

"mother!"

"If possible, I don't want to be your mother. Even Erniu knows that Siniu is missing, but you can't even remember his existence. Don't eat this meal, save it for Siniu. You won't die from starvation."

"Erniu, go call Siniu over for dinner."

"Sure."

Erniu ran to the thatched hut excitedly. Two minutes later, Erniu came back with no one behind him. "Azu, Si Niu doesn't want to come over for dinner."
