Wang was taking Xiaoshan on one side while listening to the three daughters talking.

After hearing Caihe's words, she still pursed her lips. How could she not know that Caihe was telling the truth? In her impression, the last time the children ate meat dishes was when their men were alive.

It's just that even if the man in his family is alive, the meat and vegetables eaten by the children are all leftovers from the three children in the big house.

At that time, my own man had not come back from work, and the family killed the pig and stewed the elbow, but before he took the children to clean up, the big house had already eaten first. When she brought the children to the table, her mother-in-law and aunt even took the bowls.

At that time, the own . Baoru and the two girls are very afraid of people, although they want to eat, they can only hide behind her and watch. And Mancang will only squat in the yard and bury his head in work.

She had the heart to take the children back to the house, but when she saw the pitiful appearance of a few girls who wanted to eat, she endured her sadness and asked her mother-in-law if there were any leftovers in the pot......

Later, a few of their mothers could only squat on the threshold of their own house, and ate such a meal of meat and vegetables under the ridicule of their sister-in-law.

After her man came back, her mother-in-law also looked for her man and said that their mother could eat it, and she actually ate all the pot of elbow dishes, and she didn't even think about leaving a bite for the man.

Lin Lao, the second also knew that his mother's words must have moisture, but because of his mother's temperament, he could only bow down and say something good.

After Lin Lao and the second disappeared, the treatment of their family was even worse. In the two years that they were not kicked out of the old house, they didn't have their share of killing pigs and stewing meat during the New Year.

Even, in order to satisfy the hunger of his younger sisters, his son would secretly pick up the remaining bones in the big house, and then carefully pick off the remaining shredded meat on the top, and after saving up a small pile, feed it to his younger brothers and sisters.

Later, he picked up bones and was bumped into by the boss of the big house, not only was he ridiculed by several children in the big house, but also made his mother-in-law and sister-in-law curse with guns and sticks.

Wang You remembered that at that time, the sister-in-law almost pointed to her mancang's nose and scolded him for being a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be fed well and a thief who stole meat.

But she didn't have anything to do but say good things. In the end, he was even more embarrassed and sad in front of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and beat him up all over the place.

Now that she thinks about it, she still feels uncomfortable in her heart. Even, after that, she cried a lot, and she hated to take the family with a handful of poison, which was better than being trampled on.

But that idea is just a thought, the next day the sun rises, she still has to take the children to work as usual and live a wronged life.

After putting everything away, Lin Baoru went out of the house to wash her hands and face, and then took a bag of meat pieces brought back from Liu's restaurant and went to the stove.

Although there are no fresh vegetables at home, there are some sun-dried shredded radish. When she brought out the hot porridge, she scooped a scoop of cold water into the pot and began to stuff the shredded radish.

Because she wanted to save some firewood, she beckoned Cairu to take the remaining dry food at home to heat up. When the shredded radish began to soften, the cold and hard cake became hot.

"Eldest sister, I'll help you light the fire." Cai He happily rubbed in front of the stove and slowly stuffed a few sticks of firewood into the stove.

The child's heart is the most simple, and he likes and admires the eldest sister who can protect the family, and naturally wants to stay by the eldest sister's side all the time.

Lin Baoru had already stewed the shredded radish with the already cold pieces of meat at this time, and the aroma of the meat gradually came out, causing the little girl to swallow her saliva again. Even with it, the stomach that was already not full at noon made a few gurgling antis. Discuss.

"Big ...... The eldest sister ......" The little girl rubbed her stomach a little embarrassedly, snorted and said, "It's because the food you cook is so fragrant that my stomach will scream." ”

Lin Baoru bent down and nodded at her head, and said in a brisk tone: "Yes, yes, we are not hungry when we pick lotus!" ”

She said, still scooping a small piece of stewed soft shredded meat, "Ah, open your mouth." ”

The little girl subconsciously opened her mouth, and the next moment she found that there was an extra hot thing in her mouth, and as soon as she closed her mouth, the salty meat burst out of the soup in her mouth.

Lin Caihe was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his eldest sister had stuffed a piece of meat into him. She carefully swallowed the soup oozing from the meat, but refused to eat it directly.

The little man looked at his eldest sister with a small face, his eyes were bulging, his expression was happy and reluctant, and he was very entangled.

"Don't burn the fire, you go and brush the plate that my mother and I bought today, and let's eat." Lin Baoru saw that Caihe's face was red, and she didn't tease her anymore, and drove people to work directly.

And she squatted down, leaned over, pulled the unextinguished fire in the stove into the shovel, and scooped the cold water to destroy it. After collecting the unburned branches, she went in and brought the food and dry food into the house.

And Cairu is also a quick hand, when her eldest sister entered the house, she had already carried the brazier to the coals in the stove. By the way, even the brazier in Lin Mancang's house was filled with new charcoal.

In the past, it was rare for a family to be able to eat a meal of bud rice porridge happily. As a result, the family and Lin Mancang, who was doing the heaviest and most tiring work, were all yellow and thin. Not to mention, Lin Xiaoshan, who has never had enough to eat.

A small person has a big head, so much so that the first time Lin Baoru hugged him, he was afraid that he would be hurt when he shook his head and nodded.

The meal on the table today was the sumniest they had seen in years.

Cai Ru and Cai He's eyes were shining, and they were busy distributing dishes and chopsticks to everyone, and Wang's always sad face showed a knowing smile for the first time.

As for Lin Mancang, although he didn't speak, the expression on his face also stretched a lot.

When eating, Lin Mancang rarely sandwiches pieces of meat, if it weren't for Lin Baoru putting a piece in the bowl for him from time to time, I'm afraid that he, who has long been accustomed to silence, will only pick up the meat-stained radish strips and eat.

"Big brother, you eat more." Lin Baoru looked at Lin Mancang, who gave the meat pieces in the bowl to Caihe, sighed and said, "I still remember when I was a child, you were reluctant to eat delicious food, even if you were hungry, you had to bring it back to our house for me and Cairu Caihe." ”

These things are still known to Lin Baoru from the memory of the original body.

When the eldest brother was a child, there was a time when his grandmother Liu liked it. Whenever there was something delicious at home, his grandmother would secretly call him to eat in the main room.

But the eldest brother will always try to hide it, even if he is laughed at by the eldest aunt, he will never eat alone.

It's just that later the grandmother liked the children of the eldest aunt's family more and more, and after the eldest brother was secretly bullied by the eldest aunt, his father always persuaded him to put up with it. Sometimes his father and mother thought that he didn't know that he asked his younger brother to press him to bow his head to his aunt's house and admit his mistakes, and slowly he became more and more silent.

Several children in the big house also relied on him and didn't dare to sue, always throwing stones at him, calling him a big fool. After a long time, the eldest brother has really become a person with a bad brain in the mouths of others, and even most people think that the eldest brother is hot and didn't look at it in time, so he burned out his brain.

After beating the eldest brother and becoming a fool, his grandmother completely disliked him.

Of course, the original body always thought that his eldest brother was stupid, but now Lin Baoru felt that Lin Mancang was simply hurt by his family's attitude, and then he was reluctant to speak.

Lin Mancang didn't raise his head or say anything, but he didn't stubbornly share the meat with his younger brothers and sisters.

There is meat and soup in a meal, and even the cakes become fragrant because of the smell of meat.

After eating, Lin Baoru didn't need to get up to clean up, and saw Cairu and Caihe quickly pick up the table. Since the eldest sister woke up from illness, as long as the two younger ones are capable, they never let their eldest sister do it.

They didn't feel anything before, but after the eldest sister was seriously ill this time, their lives really had some taste. Especially after this separation, their dependence and intimacy on Lin Baoru has reached its peak.

The eldest sister protects them, and even thinks about them when they are beaten, so they must hurt the eldest sister more.

By the time Cairu and Caihe came out of the house with the chopsticks and grate, Wang had already coaxed the sleepy kang on the hill to sleep.

"When your father was here, although our situation was not good, it was not difficult to eat a full meal." Wang leaned on the broken quilt and said with some discomfort in his heart, "At that time, ......"

She was just about to continue, but suddenly remembered something, and without waiting for Lin Baoru's persuasion, she laughed angrily, raised her hand and rubbed her somewhat astringent eyes, and said, "You see that my mother has made this old mistake again, it's all in the past, why are you bringing it up!" ”

Lin Baoru saw that her demeanor was different from the previous melancholy and sadness, and her heart relaxed slightly. To be honest, she was actually quite afraid that the Wang family would wipe her tears and sobs at every turn, in her opinion, crying and crying all day long was not only useless, but also made the family feel bad.

She glanced at Wang, who looked at him with a calm look, and said with emotion: I didn't expect that a hot and full meal could make such a big change for Wang.

I knew it earlier...... As soon as she thought about this, she got stuck, because even if she knew that this would work, she couldn't do it without rice.

"Mancang, Baoru, you sit down." Wang got up and took out the kang cave for a long time, and then took out a small cloth bag that had long been a little indistinguishable. After blowing the dust off the cloth bag, she set up the small kang table and beckoned the two of them to do it on the edge of the kang.

"This is the money I planned to give to your grandmother before, in addition to the medicine for Baoru, there are more than 600 Wen." As she spoke, she opened the cloth bag, revealing a string of copper plates inside. "It's just that there are some things in this that we get from food, and some of them are borrowed by my mother and Aunt Lu's family."

When she borrowed money at that time, she didn't say what the money was going to do in order not to let her mother-in-law fall into the trap. And Aunt Lu, she only thought that she couldn't live anymore, and persuaded her to add some thick clothes to the children first, so that she could save the cold.
