The next morning, Sui He was moving soybeans in the yard. He didn't have to go to town today, so he didn't have to get up early like he did the previous two days.

Get a basin of water, rinse the stone mill, and prepare to grind soybeans

"dong dong dong"

Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Who is this? Why is he knocking on the door so early?" The second grandmother looked at her own door.

"I'll go check it out." Sui He put down the barrel in his hand and prepared to open the door: "Who is it?"

When I opened the door, I found Da Zhuang standing at the door. There was a bamboo basket at his feet. In the basket were wild grass and vegetables covered with dew. "Da Zhuang, what are you doing here so early?"

"Brother Chen, I'm bringing you some pig grass. I cut it on the mountain this morning." Da Zhuang walked in with a bamboo basket. "You guys are busy with business and definitely don't have time to cut pig grass. I have nothing to do at home, so I cut it and brought it to you."

He walked to the pig pen, grabbed a handful of dewy pig grass and threw it in. The two little pigs saw the food, poked it with their noses, picked out some they liked and started eating.

"Thank you, Dazhuang. You even went out of your way to cut pig grass for me," Sui He said a little embarrassedly. Sui He's family is not short of pig grass, and there are still many sweet potato vines in the space.

"It's okay, Brother Chen, why are you being so polite to me? It's just a matter of convenience. If you eat a little, the pig will grow an extra pound," Da Zhuang said with a smile.

Sui He saw that Da Zhuang was sweating profusely, and guessed that he must have gone out early, so he went into the house and poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, "Drink some water and take a rest."

Da Zhuang did not refuse. He took the bowl, drank the water in it in one gulp, and handed the bowl to Sui He.

"Okay, you play for a while, I'll go grind the soybeans." Sui He took the bowl, put it down, picked up the wooden barrel and walked towards the stone mill.

"Brother Chen, let me do it. I'm stronger." Da Zhuang took the wooden barrel from Sui He and moved it to the side of Second Grandpa.

Second Grandpa and his team were already grinding soybeans. The grinding wheel was turning slowly as Second Grandpa pulled it.

"Da Zhuang, you're here so early, have you had breakfast?" Second Grandma was putting down the soybeans, and when she saw Da Zhuang coming, she greeted him with a smile.

"Grandma Chen, I've eaten." Da Zhuang was watching Second Grandpa's actions curiously. While Second Grandpa was catching his breath and wiping his sweat, he walked forward and held the handle: "Grandpa Chen, let me try."

"This thing is a bit heavy, you can't pull it." The second grandfather wiped his sweat and said to Zhao Dazhuang

"It's okay, Grandpa Chen, don't look down on me because I'm young. I'm very strong. Just let me try." Da Zhuang pulled the handle of the millstone, pushed Second Grandpa to the side, and turned the millstone like Second Grandpa.

At first, he was still stumbling, but later he became more and more skilled. When Sui He came out of the kitchen, he saw this scene.

Zhao Dazhuang was turning the millstone, his grandfather was adding water and soybeans, and his second grandmother was filtering the soy milk. Sui He looked at Zhao Dazhuang in confusion. What was this kid up to today?

Soon, with the help of Zhao Dazhuang, all the soybeans were ground in one morning.

"Good boy, I didn't expect that you, with your skinny little body, have such great strength." The second grandfather patted Zhao Dazhuang's shoulder and pinched his little arm.

"Okay, let the children rest for a while. Dazhuang, come and sit down." The second grandmother took out a bench and put it aside for the two to sit down and rest.

Sui He brought out a few bowls of soy milk, picked up one and handed it to Zhao Da Zhuang: "Da Zhuang, you have been busy all morning, come and try the soy milk you ground yourself."

"Thank you, Brother Chen." Zhao Dazhuang had been busy grinding soybeans all morning and was already hungry. He took the white soy milk, blew it, and drank it in small sips.

"Hmm, so sweet!" Zhao Dazhuang's eyes lit up. This was the best thing he had ever tasted.

"Drink slowly, there's more in the pot. If it's not enough, get more from the pot. I put sugar in this soy milk. It tastes good, right? It's good for your health."

When he heard that it was good for the body, Zhao Dazhuang put down the bowl and stared at the soy milk in the bowl. After a while, he stammered, "Brother Chen, can I take this bowl of soy milk back to my mother and younger sister? They are not in good health." His voice became smaller and smaller.

He felt a little embarrassed to eat and take at the same time, but he could not eat and take his share back.

Hearing what Zhao Dazhuang said, Sui He remembered the little girl he saw one day.

"What a filial child you are. Da Zhuang, have some. We have more at home. I'll fill some for you later and you can take it back." The second grandmother was sentimental. When she heard that Zhao Da Zhuang wanted to take the soy milk back to his mother and grandmother, she was moved.

"Yes, Dazhuang, eat it. You can take some back later. Try this bean curd cake, it's delicious too." Suihe was not a stingy person. In addition, Dazhuang delivered pig grass and helped grind soy milk this morning. She saw it all.

"Thank you, Grandma Chen, thank you, Brother Chen." When Sui He said that he could bring him some food later, he immediately became happy and started eating the soy milk and the cake.

The saying that a young boy will eat his father out of money is indeed true. Zhao Dazhuang drank three bowls of soy milk and ate more than a dozen bean dregs cakes before putting down the bowl. Sui He was stunned.

"Are you full? Do you want to eat some more? You're welcome. I'll give you enough for today." Sui He saw him put down the bowl

"I'm full, I'm full. This is the most filling meal I've ever had today." Zhao Dazhuang touched his stomach with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Grandma Chen, thank you, Brother Chen, I'll go back first." Zhao Dazhuang, who had eaten his fill, walked carefully home with a large bowl of soy milk. Before leaving, he also fed the pigs of Suihe's family.

"Slow down," the second grandmother told him to be careful on the road

"Oh, I see." Zhao Dazhuang didn't look back, carefully protecting the soy milk in his hand.

Watching Zhao Dazhuang walk away, Sui He and his grandmother looked at each other and asked doubtfully, "Can he eat enough at home?"

"In this world, for rural kids, eating half full is the best they can do. Looking at his appetite, I don't think he can even eat half full at home. Sigh." Second grandmother shook her head. It's so hard. It's so hard.

Sui Hao looked at Zhao Dazhuang walking away and fell into deep thought.

"Sui Sui, why are you standing there? The tofu in the pot is ready."

"Hey, here it comes" Sui He came back to his senses.

"Little sister, come quickly and see what your brother brought back for you." Zhao Dazhuang came home and called his sister.

"Brother" Hearing her brother's voice, Zhao Xiaohua ran out of the room and followed Zhao Dazhuang into the kitchen

Zhao Dazhuang's mother was cooking lunch in the kitchen. When she saw Zhao Dazhuang coming back, she asked, "You're back. What are you holding?"

"I went to Brother Chen's house to help. This is the soy milk he gave me. It's sweet and delicious." Zhao Dazhuang poured the soy milk in his hand into several small bowls: "Mom, you drink it. Brother Chen said that this soy milk is good for your health."

He took a bowl for his mother, turned around and brought another bowl to Zhao Xiaohua, and handed it to Zhao Xiaohua's mouth: "Little sister, try it, it's very sweet"

Zhao Xiaohua took small sips of the drink from Zhao Dazhuang's hand, raised her head, and looked at her brother with sparkling eyes: "Brother, this is so sweet!"

"It tastes good, right? I like it. From now on, I will go to Brother Chen's house to work and get you soy milk, okay?"

"Okay, brother, you drink too."

"Brother has drunk it, this is for you"

Seeing this scene, Da Zhuang Niang put down the bowl in her hand, turned around and continued to cook the rice in the pot. A tear passed through the corner of her eye and fell on the stove.
