47. Chapter 47
When Ji Boming heard this, there seemed to be a warm current flowing slowly through his heart, his handsome face was red, and he secretly tightened his sleeves, for fear that the letter of resignation would accidentally slip out.
"Well, grandma, daddy, I know, I will be good to Xiaoxi......"
"That's it, that's it, I know that Boming is a kind-hearted person, he will definitely be good to Xiaoxi, the child is his father, now we can rest assured." ”
After Zhang Xiuying finished speaking, she divided half of the silver she was holding in her hand and handed it to Leng Xiaoxi.
"Xiaoxi, half of the silver is for our family, you take the flowers first for the five taels, and it is enough to have these five taels of silver at home. [This book sets up that one tael of silver is one thousand yuan, one pound of brown rice is three dollars, one pound of good white rice is six dollars, and so on]
"Mother, Xiaoxi doesn't want silver, the silver is kept by herself and kept for household use. ”
"No, Xiaoxi, there are enough taels of silver at home, my mother knows, Xiaoxi has just become a parent, and Xiaoxi's mother has not given any dowry, you can use these five taels of silver to fill in some food and use, don't go hungry. ”
Zhang Xiuying's reminder, Leng Xiaoxi's heart was soft, and she naturally remembered the bowls of coarse cornmeal and those sweet potatoes in the broken wooden box at home, she thought about it.
"Mother, Xiao Xi is not filial, Xiao Xi is here to promise his grandmother and father that Xiao Xi took his mother's five taels of silver today, and he will definitely repay it a thousand times in the future, Xiao Xi will definitely let our family live a good life, and let his younger brothers and sisters go to school to study. ”
Ji Boming saw the mother and daughter humility to each other, for the first time he felt that he was no longer lonely, not living alone, hearing Leng Xiaoxi say this, he thought, as a man, he must also shoulder the responsibility of this family with Xiaoxi.
Leng Xiaojuan was finally able to interject, took Leng Xiaoxi's hand, and said, "Sister, what you said is true?
"Sister, can I also go to study?" Leng Xiaoqiang squeezed over.
"And me, can I go too?" Three-year-old Leng Xiaoling did not show weakness.
"Yes, you can all go to study, my sister must let you all go to study. ”
The younger siblings cheered, and there was finally laughter in the dreary home.
In addition to laughing, Leng Xiaoxi did not forget to cook a delicious meal for everyone.
In the modern home, the rice and white noodles are eaten every day, and I don't think how precious the rice and white noodles are, but here, the poor family eats a meal of white rice and white noodles is a symbol of luxury.
Leng Xiaoxi wanted to steam a pot of rice to treat the whole family and comfort her empty stomach, but she looked at the pitiful rice in the rice bag, and then looked at her brother and sister with yellow faces and thin muscles, so she cooked a pot of white rice porridge.
However, how could a pot of gruel fill the stomach of the family, so she boiled hot water, quickly mixed cornmeal, pasted pot stickers, packed up four pig's trotters, put them in the pot, added limited ingredients, boiled, cut some meat from the pig's thighs and the little cabbage that her father picked from the ground, made a few potatoes and stewed a pot of vegetables, and then fished the pickled vegetables, mixed a little chili oil and put them on the plate.
When the white rice porridge and vegetables stained with oil and water were brought to the table, and the four boiled pig's trotters were full of fragrance, the excited eyes of the four younger siblings were about to drop the meal.
"Sister, the food you cook is so fragrant, so fragrant!"
After the family had eaten happily, the sun had set in the west, and a red glow had risen from the horizon, staining half the sky red.
