In the early summer afternoon, the golden sun shines down, making the whole mountain forest warm. Huiya sat on the small bench in front of Dong's house, supporting her chin with her hands, quietly watching the mountains and forests basking in the sun, and the kitchen was already wafting a strong smell of meat.

Dong Taoshu and Dong Taohua couldn't stand the temptation of stew, so they got into the kitchen early and followed Mrs. Dong's ass to beg for meat to eat. After Dong Da fed the borrowed cow with forage, he brought the five coppers given by Mama Zheng and went to return the cattle.

"Little Miss, why are you sitting here, the sun is so big, be careful not to tan......" Mama Zheng packed up the things she had brought back from the carriage in the West House, and saw Huiya sitting at the door basking in the sun, and said busily.

"Mama, it's okay, I'll sit down for a while." Huiya smiled brightly at Mama Zheng, her big apricot eyes narrowed into a line, revealing her snow-white neat teeth, and her white skin was faintly transparent pink under the sun, which made Mama Zheng look at what she loved in her heart, and she couldn't say anything she didn't allow.

"Okay, then the little lady will sit for a while......" Mama Zheng took out the few remaining snacks for Huiya to eat, and asked Huiya carefully what she ate and drank in the morning. Seeing that Huiya was fine, she slowly walked to the vegetable garden behind with a small burden on her sleeve.

Huiya naturally knew that Mama Zheng wanted to hide the silver, and she didn't stare at it closely, so she turned her head comfortably, squinting her eyes and looking at the mountains in the distance, with a smile on the corner of her lips, and her heart was very calm. Basking in the sun like this, Huiya's body is warm, this warm and happy feeling, Huiya feels that she has not experienced it for a long time.

In the forest in the distance, one or two birds flew out from time to time, sitting in the courtyard of the Dong family, although they couldn't see the situation of the neighbor's house, but they could hear that the children in the distance who didn't know whose family Xu had been beaten by adults, and they were crying very much.

Huiya gently covered her mouth with her little hand, giggling secretly, and couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart, envious of the children who could be treated harshly or lovingly by their parents. Thinking of her father, Huiya's heart was a little stunned, now that three or four days have passed, her father and mother may have already gone out of the mountain.

After a while, there was a burst of cheers from the kitchen, and the aroma of the stewed meat suddenly became stronger, and Huiya knew that this was the stew out of the pot.

I haven't eaten seriously for a few days, and I only ate an egg and a bowl of porridge in the morning, even if I nibbled two bites of dim sum just now, it was not as good as a good meal. Hui Ya smelled the smell of meat at this time, and didn't feel anything bad about this horse meat that originally made the rich and noble people disdain, but looked at the direction of the kitchen with great anticipation, and felt that her stomach was empty.

When Huiya stood up and looked left and right while holding her stomach, Mama Zheng obviously heard the movement in front of her, and walked over with a smile, picking two fresh half-foot-long cucumbers in her hands.

"Eating greasy meat, I watched the vegetables in the garden grow well, and picked two cucumbers." Mama Zheng said with a smile, and handed the dish in her hand to Huiya for her to see. I saw that the cucumber top flower that was so green that it seemed to be a good jade was thorny, very fresh, and exuded a faint fragrance.

"It's so good, this cucumber is so fragrant!" Huiya happily took the cucumber and said with a smile. The big black grape-like eyes narrowed into a slit, and the lively and cute appearance made people like it very much when they saw it.

Mama Zheng and Hui Ya walked to the kitchen with a smile, just in time to see Mrs. Dong putting meat from the cauldron into a small basin, Dong Taoshu and Dong Taohua surrounded Mrs. Dong, eating meat, and the small kitchen was very lively.

However, this excitement came to an abrupt end when Mama Zheng and Huiya walked into the kitchen, and a large piece of stewed meat on Mrs. Dong's shovel, as well as Dong Taohua's grown mouth, showed that this was the meat she had tasted in advance.

The smell of meat wafts from the heat in the kitchen, and although the steaming roast is uncomfortable, people can't help but inhale deeply. The kitchen was quiet for a while, and Mrs. Dong stood there a little helplessly, as if she had stolen something from someone and was caught by her master.

Mrs. Dong poured the piece of meat in her hand into the basin again, which made Dong Taohua next to her red-eyed, just now she finally asked her mother to taste a piece of meat, and before the meat reached her mouth, Huiya and they came.

Dong Taohua didn't dare to hate Mama Zheng, who looked very majestic, so she turned her gaze to Huiya, who was younger than herself, and glared at her fiercely. When he saw the two tender cucumbers in Huiya's hand, he was even more angry, and his eyes became more and more angry.

Huiya was stared at very innocently by Dong Taohua, she was caught stealing food, and she still had the face to complain about others? Huiya followed behind Mama Zheng, not caring about the embarrassment of Mrs. Dong and the anger of Dong Taohua, and came to the edge of the stove.

"Dinner ready?" Mama Zheng looked at the stew that had already been served in the pot, as well as the steamed half pot of multigrain rice, and nodded, "We will take out some of this meat, take it to the Westinghouse to eat, and leave the rest for you." ”

Mama Zheng spoke, and without waiting for Mrs. Dong to help, she went back to the West House, took the chopsticks and plates out, and took out half of the meat in the stew pot, which was enough for the two of them to eat, and put just the right amount of multigrain rice in the small pot, and then took the belated lunch and took Hui Ya back to the West House.

"Mother, she took away so much meat!" Dong Taohua looked at the meat that was taken away, and her eyes were so angry that her eyes were about to pop out, all the meat in this pot was not enough for her family to eat, and it was taken away so much, it was really annoying! "The whole horse belongs to someone else, you have meat to eat and are greedy, and I'm not afraid to kill you!" Mrs. Dong also feels sorry for so many stews, but this whole horse is someone else's, and all the horse meat will be given to you when they say they will give it to you, and if they don't give it to you, you can look at it, right? Nowadays, some of them are already very good.

Turning her head to look at Dong Taohua who was staring, the childish appearance made people feel upset when they looked at it, and Mrs. Dong couldn't help frowning, "Look again, if you look at it again, you will make soup and rice at night, and don't eat any meat!" ”

"Oops, that's great!" When Dong Taoshu heard this, she cheered busily, her own sister can't do anything else, eating is more than a top two, if she doesn't have to eat meat, she will be able to share more meat!

"Don't even think about it!" Dong Taohua glared at her brother angrily, but she really didn't dare to make another mistake, so she only followed behind her mother, sucking saliva and waiting for the meal to start.

Of course, because Mama Zheng took away half of the meat, the Dong family, who had not seen meat for a long time, naturally competed very fiercely for dinner. Dong Taohua, who is small and weak, naturally fell behind, and the grievance of not being able to eat meat coupled with inexplicable jealousy made her hate Huiya more and more in her heart.
