Chapter 3 Chen

Soon, the custard was ready. The bowl is white and tender, and it looks very appetizing. It's a pity that there are no green onions, otherwise it would be perfect to sprinkle some chopped green onions on top.

Xia Mei took a spoon and brought the egg custard to the table in the bedroom, piling the clutter on the table to a corner. Then he took the basin and went back to the kitchen, and when he saw that the porridge was almost ready, he put out the fire, added some water to the basin, took the handkerchief, and went back to the bedroom.

Putting the wooden basin on the ground, Xia Mei carefully patted Xiao Tang Bao's face and said softly: "Tang Bao? Tang Bao, get up, my mother made you a delicious egg custard~" "Hmm...... Mother's ......" Tang Bao rubbed his eyes with his little hand in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Mei's heart was cute, and she smiled: "Get up and eat!" Isn't Tang Bao's little belly hungry? ”

Seeing that Tang Bao was still a little sleepy, Xia Mei wrung the handkerchief in the basin and gently wiped Tang Bao's face.

The cool handkerchief made Tang Bao sober up all of a sudden, "Got it, mother." Then he quickly climbed off the kang, put on his shoes and walked to the kitchen.

"Eh, Tang Bao, where are you going?"

"Kitchen, didn't my mother say that it was time to eat?" Tang Bao looked at Xia Mei innocently.

Xia Mei struck a blow in her heart, and then she felt slightly sour.

Tang Bao was right, in the past, he always ate in the kitchen, and Xia Mei always brought it back to the house by herself, and didn't let him follow up.

Xia Mei suddenly wondered if there was not even a chair in the room......

Xia Mei tried to hold back the wetness in her eyes, and smiled slightly, "Tang Bao, don't go to the kitchen, my mother brought it to you, and I won't go to the kitchen to eat in the future." ”

Tang Bao looked at his mother in surprise, then saw the bowl on the table, and came back hesitantly.

"But...... Mother, I can't reach the ...... on the table," Tang Bao said with his head down.

"It's okay, look at my mother!"

Xia Mei quickly moved all the things on the table to the ground, pulled the table in front of the kang, and then picked up Tang Bao and put it on the kang.

"Look, isn't that enough?"

Xia Mei brought the bowl and put it in front of little Tang Bao, and put the spoon into Tang Bao's little hand, "Come on, because Tang Bao has worked hard to take care of his mother, so his mother made a delicious reward for Tang Bao!" Xia Mei squinted and smiled.

Xiao Tang Bao was still a little incredulous, looking at the white egg custard, swallowing his saliva, and shaking his head, "I don't eat it, my mother eats it, my mother is sick, I should eat more delicious food!" ”

Xia Mei's heart warmed, "It's okay, my mother's illness has been cured, Xiao Tangbao is still young, I have to eat more delicious food, so that I can grow up quickly and protect my mother~"

Tang Bao seemed a little embarrassed, and lowered his head to think for a while. Then he looked up and said to the determined Xia Mei: "Thank you, mother!" Tang Bao will grow up soon! ”

"Hmmm! Mother believes in Tang Bao! ”

Seeing Tang Bao's satisfied appearance, Xia Mei felt a little uncomfortable, and secretly swore that she must be doubly good to this child!

Xia Mei took out the water from the wooden basin and poured it out, then went into the kitchen to make herself a bowl of brown rice porridge, returned to the bedroom, and ate with Xiao Tangbao.

As soon as she finished eating, Xia Mei heard someone shouting outside: "Tang Bao? Tang Bao, are you there? Xia Mei went outside to take a look, but it was the Chen family next door.

Chen saw that it was Xia Mei, and paused for a moment, "Are you up from the Tang family?" Are you better? He looked behind her again: "Tang Bao went out to play?" ”

Thinking of Chen's care for this family over the years, Xia Mei is still very grateful in her heart. So he smiled and said, "It's my aunt." Come in, Tang Bao is in the house! Have you eaten it? I cooked some porridge, would you like to eat some more together? ”

Chen was slightly surprised, but his face was not obvious, "I have eaten and eaten." I'm just here to see if you've eaten it. I'm worried that Tang Bao won't be able to take care of you," he walked in as he spoke, and when he saw Tang Bao and the bowl in front of him, he was even more surprised, and said with a smile: "Tang Bao, what delicious food did your mother cook for you?" ”

"Aunt Chen, my mother made me a delicious egg custard today!" , the little face is full of showing off.

Chen's heart was a little relieved, and he turned to Xia Mei and said, "Tang family, since you have eaten, then I won't stay longer, there is still work at home!" ”

After walking a few steps, Chen stopped, hesitated, and said with a complicated face: "Tang family, I didn't say you." You say you're an adult, why don't you think about it, you can't think about it?! My aunt knows that you are bitter, but you still have a baby! What can you do with this baby when you leave, and you don't have any relatives. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and spared your life! You're still young, so it's not hard to feed your mother and mother by picking up the work in the field, right? ”

Sighing, Chen continued: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said you, but I just feel sorry for this baby, don't blame your aunt for being nosy!" Auntie will go back first, you have to remember the backup ceremony to thank that Wu boy! They've fished you up! ”

After saying that, Chen wanted to leave, but Xia Mei stopped her: "Auntie...... Thank you! …… You've been bothering you all these years...... Don't worry! Anyway, I'm also a person who has walked through the ghost gate, and I won't be unable to think about it anymore! Let's watch it in the future! ”

Seeing that she was really repentant, Chen was also a little relieved.

"Hey, what are you talking about! You just have to live a good life! It's getting dark, I'll go back first! ”

Seeing Chen out of the courtyard gate, Xia Mei sat in front of the door and began to think deeply.

Judging from the current situation, this Chen family is also a kind-hearted person, and he has helped the mother and son in the past few years. Occasionally, I take some thank-you gifts, firstly, because the original owner Xia Mei is arrogant and unwilling to owe favors to others, and secondly, the Chen family is not impressive.

The Chen family only conceived one daughter, who was twenty-seven years old. Therefore, in this countryside, there are many people who have been poked in the back.

Brother Chen had some carpenter's handiwork, and rented a shop in the town to do some work, and the business was barely passable. The family is Chen and her teenage daughter, and the work in the field depends on Chen and this half-grown girl.

Speaking of which, it's time for Chen's daughter to change her family, but there is no suitable one, so Chen has a lot to worry about. Thinking that the dowry is more generous, you can find a good one. It's kind of a raised eyebrow.

Therefore, the Chen family is quite ...... on weekdays Frugal...... Being able to take care of them is really benevolent and righteous.

Xia Mei narrowed her eyes, and some thoughts flashed in her heart.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that when Chen was leaving, he had instructed him to prepare a thank-you gift to thank the "Wu family boy" for saving his life......

Xia Mei looked around, her brow furrowed. With this house as it is now, what else can I give as a thank you gift......

It seems that I have to go to the house next door and ask again.

Xia Mei got up, took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them, and the sky became dark. Xia Mei rested her thoughts, fetched water and washed up with Xiao Tangbao, and climbed into bed early.

There is no way, the ancient people had no entertainment activities, and the only thing they had was probably the "exercise in bed...... Xia Mei thought to herself.

Xia Mei gently patted Tang Bao's back, stared at the hole in the roof, and began to think about the bits and pieces of her previous life. I want the gate of the orphanage, I want my crush on my tablemate, I want the boss's big belly, I want my new house...... Thinking about it, Xia Mei fell asleep in a daze......
