"Take it. Since you know how to take care of your man, you have to treat Nian Nian well. After all, she is a piece of flesh that fell from your body. How can you bear to see her become as skinny as a little monkey!"

Shen Zhi took the rice and felt a little sad. The tone of Aunt Zhang's voice was the same as that of the orphanage director who had taught them before, which made her feel familiar.

"Aunt Zhang, I know. I've figured it out. I was wrong before. I will take good care of Changfeng and Nian Nian and won't do anything wrong again."

The way she spoke was not at all sharp and disdainful as usual, her expression was sincere, and Aunt Zhang was stunned.

After a while, her attitude softened. "It's good that you know. Changfeng's parents work for the landlord and earn a lot of money. Your life won't be difficult."

"Yes." Shen Zhi nodded, "Then I'll go back first. Thank you for today, Auntie."

Seeing her carrying the rice and about to disappear at the gate of the courtyard, Aunt Zhang didn't know what she was thinking and called her to stop.

"and many more!"

Shen Zhi looked back in confusion.

Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth, turned back to the house, and came out with a piece of pork liver after a while.

"Take it back and cook it for the children."

Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled. Although pig liver was not valuable, a piece of it cost one or two cents. Ordinary people would have to be very stingy to buy one.

She forgot to answer it and just stared at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang was stared at by her clear and beautiful big eyes, and she cursed uncomfortably, "I gave it to you, but you still despise it. I didn't ask you to eat it, I asked you to give it to the children."

Having said that, he stuffed the liver into her hand and slammed the door shut.

Shen Zhi stared at the pork liver and rice in his hands for a long time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Twelve copper coins were exchanged for about three kilograms of rice.

Shen Zhi estimated that if he saved a little, this amount of rice would be enough for a few meals.

When I got home and stepped into the yard, I heard cursing and crying.

"Chu Jinzhou! What are you doing?"

Shen Zhi ran in eagerly.

As soon as I entered, I saw Chu Jinnian lying on the ground, his face covered with dirty mud, his tears making the mud look unbearable to the sight.

Chu Jinzhou stepped on his chest and called him a little devil and shameless.

Shen Zhi pinched Chu Jinzhou's ear and pulled hard, "I told you, if you dare to bully your brother again, I will tie you up and beat you with bamboo sticks!"

Her voice was chilly and Chu Jinzhou swallowed fearfully, but after a moment, he collapsed and wanted to sit on the ground and throw a tantrum.

Shen Zhi didn't give him this chance. She kept her word and actually found a rope to tie him up.

In the room there was a bamboo stick that the original owner used to beat and scold Chu Jinnian. It was brought back by Chu Jinzhou.

Today it just happened to be used on him.

The bamboo sticks cut through the air, making a chilling sound, and then fell heavily on Chu Jinzhou.

He had never been beaten before. When the bamboo sticks fell on him, he twisted and rolled on the ground crying like a fat bug.

Chu Jinnian's little body trembled when he heard this.

Shen Zhi beat him hard, but it wouldn't hurt him anyway. If she wanted him to change, beating him was the only thing she could think of.

After beating the man, she checked Chu Jinnian again and was relieved to find that he was fine.

Looking at this dirty little kid staring at her with huge tearful eyes, Shen Zhi couldn't help but pinch his face, "Are you an idiot? Just let him bully you? If he bullies you, you fight back."

Chu Jinnian pouted, looking aggrieved.

Shen Zhi held his little hand and said, "Let's go back to the house. Mother will wash your face."

After wiping the little guy's face, Shen Zhi took the rice and pork liver into the kitchen. After checking around, she found a pile of firewood in the corner that was almost as tall as her.

As for food, there were only some shriveled garlic and ginger, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were all gone. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Shen Zhi suddenly remembered something and turned to leave.

There is a small vegetable garden behind the yard. The last time Chu's father and mother came back, they specially planted a lot of vegetables, garlic sprouts and the like. Now, after a few months, the garden has grown very lush.

Coming to the vegetable garden and looking at the full green inside, Shen Zhi couldn't help but smile happily.

These vegetables grew well and had never been picked. The original owner planned to sell them all, so the small wooden door of the vegetable garden was locked.

Shen Zhi touched the lock on the wooden door, his eyes cold.

There are so many vegetables in this yard. If the original owner still had a conscience, Chu Jinnian wouldn't have to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables every day and go hungry every day.

She remembered that one time the little guy wanted to sneak over the fence and go in to pick vegetables, but was caught by Chu Jinzhou. After calling the original owner, the little guy was severely beaten.

Since then, he never dared to come again.

Shen Zhi took a deep breath, then opened the rusty lock in a few tries and threw it away.

The vegetable garden was planted with cabbage, loofah, eggplant, lentils, and garlic. After looking around, there was even baby cabbage. Shen Zhi wanted to laugh!

There are so many dishes, enough for them to eat.

Shen Zhi picked a piece of vegetable and some garlic leaves and went back.

Coming to the kitchen, she took out some seasonings from the space and started to get busy.

Steam the rice first, then process the pork liver.

The piece of pork liver that Aunt Zhang gave her had no smell and was very fresh.

Shen Zhi rubbed and washed it vigorously several times. After washing out all the blood in the liver, he cut it into small pieces, added ginger and starch, and mixed them evenly.

Cut the choy into small pieces.

Then prepare the onion, ginger, garlic and peppercorns.

As for the chili peppers, Shen Zhi did not take them out. People in this dynasty did not know how to eat chili peppers. Chu Jinnian had been malnourished for a long time and had a weak spleen and stomach, so he definitely could not eat them.

The ingredients are prepared and the rice in the pot is steamed.

When you lift the lid of the pot, the rich and sweet aroma of rice hits you in the face. The sunlight coming in through the window is wrapped in the hot rice aroma, and white floating light floats away.

Shen Zhi served the rice. She was so busy that she didn't even notice the little head poking out and back at the kitchen door.

Chu Jinnian sniffed hard, smelling the aroma of rice in the kitchen, and his stomach was rumbling.

It smells so good, rice!

Serve the rice and pour appropriate amount of oil into the iron pan.

When the oil starts to smoke, add ginger, garlic and peppercorns and sauté until fragrant. Then pour the marinated pork liver into the pan and stir-fry for a few times. When the liver is slightly shaped, pour in a bowl of garlic sprouts.

Then add salt, soy sauce, light soy sauce, and a small amount of sugar, stir-fry evenly, and the stir-fried pork liver will immediately release its overbearing aroma.

Chu Jinnian was almost obsessed with the smell, it smelled so good, what on earth was his mother doing?

The stir-fried pork liver was served out, and while Shen Zhi was washing the pot, he heard a noise at the door.

She looked towards the door and saw a little baby with squinting eyes and a raised nose.

She chuckled and said, "Niannian, go wash your hands quickly. Mother will cook some more dishes and then we'll eat."

Her voice suddenly rang out, and the little guy immediately widened his eyes and clenched his hands guiltily.

"go quickly."

Shen Zhi urged him again, and he ran out with a red face.

Soon, Shen Zhi made another stir-fried dish and brought the food to the table.

In the leaky thatched house, every corner was filled with the smell of stir-fried pork liver and sautéed vegetables.

It smells so good.
