Chapter 36: Eating Alone

"Xiaohua, is this what you left for me? How do you know I'm going to be hungry? Also, how did you hide the rice, and what if my mother found out? ”

Qiu Mo was moved but also worried. If Zhang Xiaohua angered Hu Qiuxia for him, then his sin would be great. And he didn't want Zhang Xiaohua and Hu Qiuxia to have a conflict, he would be very embarrassed.

"You'll eat so much nonsense if you eat it, and if you don't eat it, I'll throw it away." Zhang Xiaohua said impatiently.

"Eat, I eat. This is specially left for me by Xiaohua, and I must eat it all. Qiu was afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would really throw away the food, so he hurriedly took it and ate it in a big gulp.

Hearing Qiu Mo say that she specially left it for him, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a little weak in her heart.

At that time, she was just worried that Hu Qiuxia would find an excuse not to give her food, so she thought of hiding the food.

Who would have thought that when the meal was ready, Hu Qiuxia and Qiu Hongsheng were actually sleeping, which was cheap for her.

The reason why she didn't take out the food she hid at that time was because Qiu Mo had a lot of food, and he ate so little at that time, he would definitely be hungry at night. That's why Zhang Xiaohua simply left the food in the room.

What she didn't expect was that she guessed correctly. It wasn't even the middle of the night, and Qiu Mo's stomach was already protesting.

"You eat slowly, and there is no one to rob you here." Zhang Xiaohua said.

Seeing that Qiu Mo kept a bowl of rice for him because of her mistake, but moved him like this, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little complicated in her heart.

Until this moment, she finally accepted that her standard of living had regressed to the era when she could not even eat.

This kind of life is too hard, she must find a way to make a fortune! But what was she supposed to do?

Just when Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts were flying, Qiu Mo hiccuped her and pulled her back to reality.

"Finished eating?" Zhang Xiaohua asked in disbelief.

Has she been distracted for a long time? How could it be that in the blink of an eye, Qiu Mo finished all the meals.

"It's full, it's full! Thank you Xiaohua, Xiaohua has been the best for me. Qiu Mo licked his lips with a satisfied look.

Zhang Xiaohua was inexplicably happy when she saw him like this. It's as if she has a pet herself, she feeds the pet and the pet wagging its tail at her to please her.

Looking at Qiu Mo's obedient appearance, Zhang Xiaohua subconsciously touched his head and said softly: "Go to bed when you're full!" ”

"Hmm!" Qiu Mo nodded obediently, put the bowl back on the table, and then put down the straw mat and lay back.

"Xiaohua, you have to go to bed early!" Qiu Mo said, closed his eyes, and fell asleep contentedly.

Seeing that Qiu Mo had already fallen asleep, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything. He also lay back in bed and fell asleep.

……

Next. As soon as the sky turned white, Hu Qiuxia's knock came from outside the door.

"Zhang Xiaohua, get up and cook. Today I went to the field with Qiu Mo to plant sweet potatoes, if you dare to run out to play again, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

This time, Hu Qiuxia's attitude was not so tough. She just said these words, and made sure that Zhang Xiaohua in the room had woken up and heard her words, so she went back to her room.

In the room, Zhang Xiaohua was very unhappy when she was woken up. But she couldn't go too far.

Although Hu Qiuxia will not easily drive her away, the premise is that she is beneficial to Hu Qiuxia.

If she doesn't work all the time, she keeps working against Hu Qiuxia. Sooner or later, Hu Qiuxia will make up her mind to drive her away.

So she has to work, but she must not let herself suffer. She will do what she should do, but she will never compromise in the face of unreasonable demands.

Zhang Xiaohua reluctantly got up. At this time, Qiu Mo had already put away the straw mat. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was about to get out of bed, he hurriedly said, "Xiaohua, you have a good rest, I'll go cook." ”

Saying that, for fear that Zhang Xiaohua would not agree, Qiu Mo hurriedly walked out of the room.

Zhang Xiaohua paused and didn't say anything. Isn't it just breakfast, who cooks it differently?

If Hu Qiuxia dares to talk about this matter, she will definitely fight with her to the end.

Thinking like this, Zhang Xiaohua lay back on the bed directly, and fell asleep again after a while.

……

Breakfast was simple. Qiu Mo cooked porridge, took some dried radish, and fried a dried radish.

When Qiu Mo prepared the meal, Hu Qiuxia and Qiu Hongsheng just got up.

Qiu Hongsheng got up early because he was going to the town to do business, and today he planned to pull peanuts to sell. That is, the peanuts that Qiu Mo and Zhang Xiaohua harvested that day.

When he saw that breakfast was dried radish with porridge, Qiu Hongsheng suddenly lost his appetite.

And Hu Qiuxia did not show any dissatisfaction. She knows very well what the family's economic situation is, and Qiu Hongsheng has not taken money from the family for a long time, so she really has no extra money to buy meat.

Just seeing that it was Qiu Mo who was cooking, Hu Qiuxia couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaohua.

But considering that it was early in the morning, Qiu Hongsheng still had to go out, so she endured it.

"Xianggong, let's have breakfast! It's a long way to town, so eat more to have the strength to hurry. Hu Qiuxia said, then pulled Qiu Hongsheng to the chair and sat down, and served him a big bowl of rice.

Qiu Hongsheng looked at such a thin porridge, and then looked at the dried radish on the plate, he really didn't have any appetite.

His eyes flashed, and he said, "It's not too early, I'd better go to town early." Otherwise, the good position will be occupied. ”

Saying that, Qiu Hongsheng didn't wait for Hu Qiuxia to speak, got up and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Hu Qiuxia hurriedly chased out. said: "Xianggong wait a minute. ”

Qiu Hongsheng subconsciously stopped. I saw Hu Qiuxia hurriedly running into the kitchen, and after a while, she took out a sweet potato the size of three fingers.

"Xianggong, if you don't eat, take the sweet potatoes and eat them on the road!" Hu Qiuxia handed the sweet potato to Qiu Hongsheng and said.

Qiu Mo was also in the hall, originally wanting to wait for Hu Qiuxia and Qiu Hongsheng to eat and clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Seeing Qiu Hongsheng and Hu Qiuxia running out without eating, he also followed.

When he saw Hu Qiuxia take out the sweet potato, Qiu Mo was anxious.

These sweet potatoes were brought back from the town by Qiu Hongsheng yesterday. Thinking that Zhang Xiaohua secretly hid rice for him to eat, Qiu Mo also wanted to secretly cook a few sweet potatoes and hide them for Zhang Xiaohua to eat.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered and taken out by Hu Qiuxia.

Qiu Hongsheng saw Hu Qiuxia take out the sweet potato, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Since there are sweet potatoes, why don't you take them out?

Seemingly aware of Qiu Hongsheng's doubts, Hu Qiuxia said: "I just found a few sweet potatoes boiling in the pot, and I originally planned to pack two for you to eat on the road later." Now you just haven't eaten, so take it all and eat it on the way! Don't go hungry. ”

Qiu Hongsheng frowned, he glanced at Qiu Mo, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Since Hu Qiuxia said that she found the sweet potato in the pot, it means that boiling the sweet potato is not her explanation. In other words, this is Qiu Mo's idea.

Qiu Mo boiled sweet potatoes but didn't take them out for them to eat, what did he mean?

I didn't expect Qiu Mo, a fool, to have such thoughts, and still want to eat alone?

Qiu Hongsheng just glanced at Qiu Mo, but did not speak. He knew that without him saying it, Hu Qiuxia would not let this matter pass like this easily.

"Good!" Qiu Hongsheng took the sweet potato, got on the ox cart and left.

The cow wagons were filled with peanuts. Of course, these were not prepared by Qiu Hongsheng, but Qiu Mo got up early in the morning to prepare.
