The stored bacon does not look very good, the surface is covered with mold, it must be roasted over a fire, then the surface is scraped clean with a knife, and then washed with hot water.

In this way, the color is very beautiful, golden yellow, and it gives off an attractive fragrance after being roasted by the fire.

However, it didn't taste very good, but in Xiao Mu's opinion at that time, it was a delicacy, and it tasted a hundred times better than fresh meat.

"Grandpa, you cooked all the meat, what if the guests at home or you want to eat it, won't there be no more?"

Zhang Laohan smiled and said: "Oh, we don't have to eat, why don't you come back and eat together, as for the guests at home, then let's talk about it then." ”

During the meal, the old man asked: "Xiao Mu, the food in the school is not appetizing, are you still used to eating?"

The appetite is naturally the same, and the oil and water are sufficient.

"It's delicious to eat, but it's not enough to eat, it's too little. ”

Xiao Mu got up and scooped a spoonful of rice, very little, leaned in front of the old man and said, "Look at it, the food in the canteen is only about that, where is it enough for me to eat, you probably don't have enough to eat for two days a week." ”

Less is a little less, but it's not as exaggerated as Xiao Mu said, it's okay to eat half full.

Wan Rong couldn't stand it, so he said to Xiao Mu: "Then why don't others say that they don't have enough to eat, only you are complaining here." ”

But what Wan Rong didn't know was that others also ate snacks and steamed buns, morning and evening, but these Xiao Mu didn't have them, and they couldn't afford to eat!

Xiao Mu replied to Wan Rong and said: "Then why don't you ask me why I don't eat late and don't eat snacks, others have these, I don't have them, am I greedy!"

Indeed, a child of that age, who is not greedy, is messy and in school, you can see classmates eating snacks everywhere, and the commissary is full, and Xiao Mu can only watch others eat.

Pocket money for a Friday dollar, what can you do with a dollar, you can't eat snacks if you eat a bowl early, and snacks can't fill your stomach, even if you can fill your stomach, you can't fill your mouth.

Temptation is a thing that is difficult for even adults to control, not to mention children.

Wan Rong asked again and said: "That person Li Wei only took 20 yuan back, only five yuan more than you, why don't people say it's not enough, and people still have money to buy toys." ”

"That person brought rice back, rice is enough to eat for a week, if I bring rice back, give me an extra 20 yuan, then I won't say anything, and I can save you some money!"

At this time, Wan Rong was silent, he didn't know how to refute, because what Xiao Mu said was the truth, and it was also the status quo.

Zhang Laohan's family didn't have extra rice for Xiao Mu to take back, let alone for Xiao Mu to bring back, and even his own food couldn't eat the rice ripe next year, let alone others.

"yes, it's a little less. ”

The originally lively dinner table was instantly much cleaner.

Xiao Mu knew that he couldn't go on, if he continued to speak, he would have to be scolded.

The next day, Saturday.

Xiao Mu did not say that he had homework, but followed Zhang Laohan to work in the farmland without any complaints.

In the evening, when they returned home, Zhang Laohan and they were all watching TV, but Xiao Mu went back to his room.

Wan Rong felt that Xiao Mu was very abnormal, this was not the usual Xiao Mu, so he opened the door and said, "Yo, Xiao Mu, why don't you watch TV anymore, didn't you like to watch TV the most before?"

"I still have homework and don't have time to watch TV?"

"Do you still have homework on the weekend?, just two days off, I haven't seen you do your homework before!"

"Beicheng is different, the teacher has arranged it, and he said that he will study on weekends!"

Wan Vieng then didn't ask again.

As the grade gets higher and higher, there is naturally more and more homework, but the family will not let Xiao Mu do homework during the day for this reason.

If you dare to say that you want to do your homework at home during the day, then I'm sorry, so you will only be scolded.

On Sunday, because the south city is not very far from the north city, it is only a dozen kilometers away, so I only go back to school in the afternoon, and I still have to work in the morning.

After eating at noon, Xiao Mu took a shower, packed up her homework and prepared to go back to school.

Zhang Laohan walked in and asked, "Is the living expenses really not enough?"

Xiao Mu nodded and said, "Yes, it's really not enough, I didn't lie to you, the living expenses of the little friends in the village are more than mine, and I am already the least." ”

But even so, Xiao Mu didn't let Zhang Laohan give him more living expenses or anything, because he also knew very well what the conditions at home were.

Zhang Laohan took out two ten yuan from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Mu, "Take it, if it's really not enough, I'll add 5 yuan to you, so it should be enough." ”

Xiao Mu thought about it, as soon as he came, he could occasionally buy snacks to eat, and he could buy school supplies such as pens or homework books when he encountered them.

So he took it, and Xiao Mu was ecstatic at this time, as if he had taken 500 yuan.

"Enough is enough, I'm satisfied. ”

Then Zhang Laohan said: "Save some flowers, we can't compare to outsiders, people have money, we don't." ”

Xiao Mu nodded, and did not put the money in the wallet that Zhang Laohan bought for him, but put it directly in his pants bag.

When Zhang Laohan saw it, he asked, "What about the wallet I gave you, what's the matter, did you lose it?"

"No, I didn't lose it, I just didn't think it worked well and put it in my bag. ”

"You can't do this, I'll see what you take to eat when the money drops, hurry up and put it in your wallet." ”

Xiao Mu was very reluctant to take out his wallet, put the money in his wallet, and decided to put the money back in his pocket after leaving Zhang Laohan.

But the old man rushed over, "Oh, you have to hang this wallet around your neck, otherwise you should go back!"

Xiao Mu was unhappy, "How ugly this wallet is on my neck, I don't want it, I'll just put it in my bag, so it won't fall off, don't worry." ”

The old man snatched the schoolbag, took out the wallet, hung it on Xiao Mu's neck and said viciously: "No, you just have to praise him on his neck, otherwise I will beat you." ”

Xiao Mu glanced at the old man and felt that the old man was very unreasonable, so he said, "No, just don't." ”

The old man slapped his hand, "Do you want to wear it or not!"

Xiao Mu put it on crying, picked up her schoolbag and ran out.

Ran to the back mountain to calm down for a while, isn't it just a big fart, as for this!

wiped away his tears and came to Xu Hui's house.

Xu Hui happened to be preparing, packing up his things.

Grandpa Xu Hui asked Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, are your living expenses enough?"

Xiao Mu nodded, it's barely enough if nothing else!
