Chapter 4 Bean Soup

After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "creak", and then Zhang Li held a small clay pot in both hands, walked quickly and walked towards Zhang Ran's bed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Ran involuntarily followed the voice, and after seeing that it was Zhang Li's family, Zhang Ran hurriedly struggled to sit up.

"Don't move!"

Seeing Zhang Ran's indiscriminate struggle, Zhang Li was shocked, hurriedly walked forward, came to Zhang Ran's bed in three or two steps, quickly put the clay pot on the side of the bed, reached out and pressed Zhang Ran's body to prevent him from moving too much and toppling, and little by little, carefully helped him up.

After Zhang Ran leaned his back against the wooden wall, sat up straight, and completely stabilized. Zhang Li picked up the small clay pot again, scooped up a spoonful of soup with a wooden spoon, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then gently sent it to Zhang Ran's mouth, and said softly: "Ah Ran, you just woke up, your body is still very weak, Grandma cooked a little bean soup for you, eat it while it's hot!" ”

"Uh..." In the face of Zhang Li's sudden move, Zhang Ran was suddenly a little at a loss, without any psychological preparation, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"What? Too hot? Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't react, Zhang Li thought that the rice was too hot, so he put the wooden spoon to his mouth and blew it, and then handed it to Zhang Ran again and said, "It should be edible now, come, Ah Ran, you can taste it!" ”

"I..." Zhang Ran opened his mouth, wanting to shake his head and refuse, but looking at the woman in front of him, his nominal "mother" was full of tenderness, and felt the strong care and pity from the other party, he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while, so he could only be stunned, like a machine, open his mouth, and swallow the soup in the wooden spoon.

The warm soup entered the throat, like a warm current, flowed into the abdomen, and quickly spread to the limbs, quickly moistening Zhang Ran's dry body, and for a while Zhang Ran couldn't help but hum comfortably.

Seeing Zhang Ran squinting his eyes and looking like he was enjoying himself, the corners of Zhang's mother's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and she was relieved: "Being able to eat, it seems that Ah Ran's body is really much better." God bless, my family Ah Ran is finally getting better! ”

As she spoke, Zhang's mother reached out and scooped up a spoonful of soup with a wooden spoon, carefully cooled it, and then handed it to Zhang Ran's mouth and said, "Come, Ah Ran, eat a little more while it's hot, and take care of your body as soon as possible!" ”

Seeing that Zhang's mother was about to feed him again, Zhang Ran couldn't help but twist a little, forcibly endured the uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly swallowed a spoonful of soup, then quickly stretched out his hand to the clay pot in Zhang's mother's arms, and said at the same time: "Mother! Mother! I'll do it myself! ”

After that, without waiting for Zhang's mother to speak, she couldn't help but say, and directly snatched the clay pot and held it in her hand.

The twisted posture that flashed on Zhang Ran's face, as well as a series of actions, naturally could not escape Zhang's mother's eyes, looking at her son's flustered but resolute appearance, Zhang's mother couldn't help but sigh and said: "Okay then!" It's okay not to let your mother feed you, but you have to eat the bean custard while it's hot! ”

"Good! Good! Zhang Ran hurriedly agreed. Then quickly pick up the clay pot!

Just as Zhang Ran was about to swallow it, he inadvertently looked into the jar, and suddenly found that there were only dozens of swollen soybeans in the soup in the jar, and a few unknown green leaves floating on the water!

"It's rice too!?"

For a while, Zhang Ran's brain was a little dazed, and his eyes couldn't help but be confused. Although he knew that this family was very poor, poor to the extent that the family was surrounded by walls.

But the "four walls of the family" in Zhang Ran's mind can't afford to eat meat, have no money to buy clothes, and no money to see a doctor. Or maybe you have no money and can only drink gruel to get by.

However, Zhang Ran never imagined that this family would be so poor that they could only eat boiled beans for patients who were sick in bed.

"Bean soup! Bean custard! It turns out that the legendary bean soup is boiled beans with a little vegetable leaves! After thinking about the reason, Zhang Ran couldn't help but be a little silent.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, silently picked up the jar, and swallowed it in small bites.

The hot soup flowed down his throat and into his stomach, slowly moistening Zhang Ran's stomach, which was already so hungry that it was about to knot. Almost instantly, Zhang Ran actually felt that there seemed to be a warm current flowing slowly in his limbs, and with his stomach as the center, the blood spread in all directions!

"Whew~"

After half a jar of soybean and wild vegetable soup was eaten, Zhang Ran felt that his stomach felt a lot better, and the whole person seemed to be alive again!

"Goodong~"

Just when Zhang Ran was about to make persistent efforts and pour all the remaining half jars of soup into his stomach, an extremely abrupt sound of swallowing saliva suddenly sounded in his ears!

Zhang Ran followed the prestige, only to see his sister, the yellow-skinned Sui'er, looking at him intently. No, it's exactly looking at the jar in your hand!

Looking at each other, the little girl was suddenly startled, like a frightened rabbit, "whoosh", and instantly hid behind Zhang Li's family.

Then, cautiously poking out half of his head, he grimaced at Zhang Ran and grinned.

But Zhang Ran noticed that the little girl's eyes were still involuntarily secretly looking at the jar in her hand, swallowing saliva from time to time, the whole person looked pitiful, and the little appearance looked as pitiful as it was!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ran's heart suddenly throbbed, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but stiffen, and the whole heart suddenly became extremely soft.

Almost couldn't help it, Zhang Ran handed the clay pot in his hand to the little girl in front of him and said, "Na, brother, I'm already full, I'll give you the rest to drink!" ”

"No way!"

To Zhang Ran's surprise, the little girl quickly rejected Zhang Ran's kindness. The little head shook like a rattle, puffed out his cheeks, and said loudly: "Brother, my mother said that your body is still very weak, and these bean soups should be kept for my brother to eat." If I eat, my brother won't have anything to eat, and Sui'er won't be hungry! Brother, you eat! ”

"Huh?"

Hearing the little girl say this, Zhang Ran's nose couldn't help but be sour, and tears almost fell. What the hell is the original body's life!

This horse is a jar of boiled soybeans! If it was left in Zhang Ran's era and fed to the pigs, the pigs would shake their heads!

However, such a simple and pitiful boiled bean, which is not even as good as pig feed, the little girl in front of her regards it as a treasure, and is willing to eat it, and even leaves a weak body to eat it herself!

For a while, an unprecedented sadness filled Zhang Ran's heart, not only feeling sad for this era, but also feeling confused about his future life.

And the jar in his hand, which was not very heavy, seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties at the moment, and Zhang Ran was almost out of breath!
