Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie
Chapter 6: Full
The dishes were brought to the table and everyone sat down, but Chen Sizhu had not returned yet.
This naughty kid never comes home all day.
It was impossible to ask everyone to wait for him. There were no lights in ancient times. It would be dark soon. How could they eat? Zheng Yuan said, "Eat." She picked up the bowl and started to scoop rice. This millet porridge was indeed cooked by her. It looked delicious. When she happily picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and looked up, she found that everyone was looking at her eagerly.
Damn the rice sharing system.
But she was not the real Old Lady Zheng. If she changed their eating habits, Old Lady Zheng would scold her again. She had no choice but to accept her fate and pick up the rice spoon to share the rice. However, she could not be as partial as Old Lady Zheng, and everyone's bowl was full.
After the rice was divided, the dishes were not divided. Anyway, there was usually only one pot of rice, so they could just pick up the dishes and eat them themselves.
Chen Sanni and Xu Huiniang couldn't believe their eyes. In the morning, they were given a fair share of rice, and in the evening, they were given a full bowl. Xu Huiniang was just a little surprised, but Chen Sanni's eyes were wet and she almost cried.
The millet porridge was very thick, and everyone started to eat it. Erhe picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it in his mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my god, how can this dish be so delicious!"
Zheng Yuan thought, of course it tastes good, this fried in oil must taste better than the one you boil in that big pot.
He picked up another piece of bitter melon with chopsticks and exclaimed, "Is this bitter melon? Can bitter melon be so delicious?"
Zheng Yuan couldn't stand his sudden surprise, and said vaguely: "No, it's your mother's cooking." Erhe muttered: "I've cooked before, but it wasn't as delicious as this."
"Hey! Do you want to eat it or not?" Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Zheng Yuan raised his voice.
"Eat! Eat!" Erhe was startled. Although Mrs. Zheng favored her son, she was the head of the family and everyone was afraid of her.
The others didn't dare to say anything when they saw Erhe being talked about, and just kept eating. But when they ate the stir-fried cabbage and the cold-mixed bitter melon, they all showed disbelief. This might be the most delicious thing they had eaten besides the meat during festivals.
When everyone was busy eating, Chen Sizhu rushed in and started shouting, "I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!" and reached out to grab the bowl.
Zheng Yuan looked at his black paws covered in mud, frowned, and took the bowl. Chen Sizhu stared at his mother blankly, not understanding what was going on.
"Go wash your hands! Look at your hands, they're so black." Zheng Yuan said.
"Why? I'm starving! Give me food!" Chen Sizhu shouted.
If there is anyone in this family who is not so afraid of Old Lady Zheng, it is Chen Sizhu in front of him.
Chen Sizhu was conceived the year that Zheng Lao Po's husband passed away. After the death of her husband, Zheng Lao Po was completely despaired, but she became strong because of the child in her belly. Later, she poured most of her love on this child, which inevitably made him develop a spoiled personality.
Now Zheng Yuan suddenly forced her to wash her hands, so she naturally refused to do it. She wanted to use the same trick she used before and started to throw a tantrum on the ground: "I want to eat! I want to eat!"
Zheng Yuan doesn't spoil him. A six-year-old child should know better. Today, Chen Sizhu howled a few times when Zheng Yuan fainted under the old locust tree. During the day, he didn't even see a ghost, let alone show any concern. He ran back when it was time for dinner, didn't wash his hands, and rolled on the ground. This is definitely a naughty child.
Seeing that she didn't care, the other children didn't dare to say anything and just ate in silence.
Seeing that this trick didn't work and everyone was enjoying the meal, Chen Sizhu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. Normally, this would have been a killer move, and no matter how angry Old Lady Zheng was, she would have softened her heart. But who made her feel now that it was Zheng Yuan?
She continued to calmly pick up the food and eat. Although it couldn't be compared with modern food, it was indeed a delicacy compared to the porridge she had in the morning. Zheng Yuan ate very contentedly and was finally full.
After finishing his meal slowly, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Chen Sizhu, "If you cry again, I will share your bowl of rice with your brother and sister-in-law."
Chen Sizhu immediately jumped up from the ground: "No, why?"
"Then go wash your hands. Look at your hands. If you don't wash them thoroughly, be careful of bugs getting into your stomach and chewing through it."
After coaxing and threatening, Chen Sizhu finally went to fetch water to wash his hands, sobbing. Although he washed his hands perfunctorily and the black mud under his nails was not cleaned, Zheng Yuan was too lazy to say anything to him. After all, he had to find a way to go back, so why bother with so much.
After washing his hands, Chen Sizhu hurriedly sat on the stool, picked up the rice and started to eat. When he ate the two dishes made by Zheng Yuan, he was also very surprised, and started to eat faster, fearing that someone would snatch it away. He ate too fast and choked and started coughing violently. Chen Sanni, who was beside him, hurriedly patted his back. After he caught his breath, he started to eat again.
Zheng Yuan shook her head. Her family’s conditions were always too poor. However, her soul from another world couldn’t change anything.
After everyone finished eating, Sanni and Hui Niang began to collect and wash the dishes. Zheng Yuan coughed and said, "Today's dishes are washed by four pillars."
"Why! Aren't it usually that bitch Sanni and my sister-in-law who wash them? I don't want to wash! I still have to go play with Brother Daniu and the others!" He said and was about to run out.
Zheng Yuan grabbed the back of his neck and said, "Why? Because your sister, your brother, and your sister-in-law worked today, and you did nothing. You don't respect your sister, so who are you calling a bitch?!"
"She's just a slut, she's just a slut! It was clearly you who called her that, and you still called her a money-loser! Wuuuuu... It was clearly you who said I didn't have to work, wuuuuu..." Chen Sizhu struggled and cried.
Zheng Yuan was furious at his words, but when she heard Chen Sizhu say that it was all her fault, she suddenly lost her temper. Yes, they were not her children, and it was her business how to discipline them when the original body came back. What good would it do for her to intervene now?
Chen Sanni and Xu Huiniang also advised: "It's okay, mother, we can just wash it."
Chen Sanni and Xu Huiniang were very happy. Their mother was protecting them. Although they didn't understand why, they were very touched. Especially Sanni, this was the first time her mother protected her like this. She felt sad and happy.
Taking advantage of Zheng Yuan's daze, Chen Sizhu struggled and ran out, and Zheng Yuan did not chase him. Let him be.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the other four people kept silent. Sanni and Hui Niang started to clean up and wash the dishes, while Dashu and Erhe went to the yard.
Zheng Yuan sat at the table and watched the two girls busying around. She felt really bad. In this family, the two girls always did the most, but they also received the most abuse. She wanted to change, but she was powerless. She still had to find a way to go back.
After sitting for a while, she followed her memory and brought in the basin and handkerchief from the yard, scooped water and carried it behind the stove to prepare for washing. The handkerchief for washing faces was shared by the whole family, and it had a strong musty smell, so Zheng Yuan did not dare to use it. The basin for washing faces and feet was the same, so she had no choice but to use it. There was no toothbrush either, so she could only drink water with some salt in it and rinse her mouth several times.
After a hasty wash, Zheng Yuan poured the water into the yard and returned to the house, not caring about the naughty child who ran away. There were no entertainment activities in ancient times, and it was dark, so he naturally returned.
She still had to continue thinking about how to get home from the afternoon. If she stayed here any longer, she was really going to collapse.
