In the broken firewood room, Mrs. Wang's eyes widened, grabbed the copper plate in Su Qiqiao's hand, and counted carefully, it was really six, no more, no less.

Mrs. Wang raised her head, just met Su Qiqiao's calm gaze, and nodded reluctantly, "Hmph, even if you know each other, come over and eat." ”

Su Qiqiao's expression moved, and she hurriedly followed, yesterday because she didn't eat a hot meal, she was still a little uncomfortable now, not to mention Xia Yuxi, who was lying on the bed to recuperate.

Behind Mrs. Wang, a group of little beggars followed, one holding a broken bowl and looking at the stove room with a blank eye.

"Auntie!" Seeing that they had never eaten one by one, Mrs. Wang was obviously used to it, frowning, and was about to eat one by one, when suddenly, Xiaolian ran over excitedly.

"What are you doing, do you want to be beaten again, line up for me later!" Mrs. Wang sneered and lifted the feather duster with her hand.

The other little beggars also frowned, not knowing what she was going to do, and delaying their meal.

"Auntie, you misunderstood." Xiaolian hurriedly waved her hand, seeing that Mrs. Wang looked impatient, she didn't say much, and directly took out a copper plate and stuffed it into her hand, with a smile on her face.

"Where did you come from? Didn't you already hand over three copper plates just now? Mrs. Wang was startled, shook the copper plate in her hand, looked at Xiaolian, her face was angry, and she was overjoyed.

"Actually, I got four copper plates today, I had something to do just now, and now I'll hand them all over to you, Auntie." Xiaolian said with a smile.

"Huh?" Not only other little beggars, but even Su Qiqiao can't stand it anymore, what kind of mysterious operation is Xiaolian? They were all trying to hide the money, but this Xiaolian took the initiative to give it away......

"Oops, hey!" As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Wang was really happy, looked at Xiaolian and smiled from ear to ear, then turned her head, and immediately looked at the others with a disgusted face, and sneered, "Look at you one by one every day, I really think I don't know what you are hiding, I just don't bother to expose you, learn from Xiaolian hard, you know how to eat every day, and you deserve to be a broken beggar for the rest of your life!"

When the others heard this, their faces couldn't hold back, and all their unkind eyes moved to her.

Xiaolian's face flushed, knowing that she was angry, she hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Wang, "Auntie, hurry up and eat, everyone is hungry." ”

"Okay, okay, no problem, come, Xiaolian, I'll call you first." Mrs. Wang's face bloomed with a smile, Xiaolian alone handed over four copper plates, how could she not be happy?

After that, Mrs. Wang made a full bowl of porridge, and then took two of the best baked pancakes, as well as a fragrant vegetable bun, and gave them all to Xiaolian.

"Take it, it's for you." Mrs. Wang smiled, turned her head to look at the others, rolled her eyes, and rudely snatched the broken bowl that a little beggar was about to hand over, beat half a bowl of porridge, and threw him a pancake casually, without raising her eyes, "Next." ”

“……”

Soon, everyone found a place, either on the grass or with their backs to the trees, and gathered in groups to eat.

Su Qiqiao squatted on the side alone, put Xia Yuxi's portion away, baked cakes in his left hand, porridge in his right hand, and quickly devoured it.

In the open space outside the stove room, Mrs. Wang sat in the middle of the four-corner table, Zhao Ping sat next to her, Xiaolian lowered her head, and she couldn't resist Mrs. Wang, so she also sat next to the table and ate.

The eldest brother looked speechless, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "Sister Qiqiao, what the hell is this Xiaolian doing?" ”

Not only the big brothers, but also the other little beggars discussed and chattered into a ball.

Su Qiqiao took a bite of porridge, raised his head, and was about to speak, when Mrs. Wang scolded directly, "Look at you eating one by one like pork chops, hum chirp chirp, do you want to be hit by the board one by one!"

Everyone suddenly didn't dare to speak, and for a while, there was silence in the small courtyard except for the humming of mosquitoes.

Su Qiqiao finished eating, and on the way back, he happened to see Xiaolian rushing over, and took out half a vegetable bun with a mysterious face, "Sister Qiqiao, hurry up and eat, I finally hid it." ”

"That's why you handed in four copper plates?" Su Qiqiao was stunned. Because the person who pays the most copper plates can eat a vegetable bun.

"Well, it's okay, I handed over three at the beginning, and I handed over another one just now, you see, the vegetable bun is two copper plates and one, I am equivalent to using one copper plate, so I bought a vegetable bun!" Xiaolian smiled triumphantly.

Su Qiqiao was stunned, thought about it, and couldn't help but glance at her more, "That's all?" ”

"Huh? That's right. Xiaolian's face flushed.

Su Qiqiao looked around, and pulled Xiaolian to a hidden place, "Xiaolian, I have always wondered, before I went to Grandma Wang's shack, why did you stay here for half a year with Grandma Wang at that time?" ”

Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, "Sister Qiqiao, what do you mean?" ”

"I mean, you're already able to fend for yourself, and it's been half a year, so why don't you run away from here?" Su Qiqiao said straight to the point.

In fact, she has always wanted to know that Xiaolian has been with Wang Qingyun for more than half a year, and the relationship is so good, if she had found a chance to leave, she would have found a chance to leave!

"Isn't it, Sister Qiqiao, are you crazy? Why do you want to leave here......" Xiaolian was shocked when she heard this, "Even if Grandma Wang is willing to take me in, but my deed of sale is still in the hands of my eldest mother, what can I do?" ”

Su Qiqiao was dumbfounded, "Deed of sale? ”

"That's right."

Su Qiqiao let go of her hand and calmed down instantly, she forgot that except for some little beggars who were picked up by Mrs. Wang, most of them were sold by their families.

Obviously, her deed of sale is also in the hands of Mrs. Wang, who has been planning to fight for freedom these days, and has forgotten all about it!

What if she was free now? She doesn't have a deed of sale, so she will be restricted everywhere. Like that stray cat, free, but without a home.

"Forget it, it's okay." Su Qiqiao took the vegetable bun and was about to go back, when he suddenly turned around and asked with a serious face, "Xiaolian, if you get the deed of sale, are you willing to leave this place?" ”

If she asked other little beggars like this, she would definitely get a positive answer, but Xiaolian was stunned when she heard this, and she vomited for a long time, "Sister Qiqiao, it's not so bad here, it's good if the eldest lady can give us a bite to eat......

Su Qiqiao nodded and strode away directly.

She can understand that Xiaolian's abnormal behavior today is not just for the sake of vegetable buns, it is very likely that she sincerely wants to please Mrs. Wang, but she doesn't understand, where is this place worthy of Xiaolian's nostalgia?

Su Qiqiao was silent all the way, entered the house, and handed the vegetable bun to Xia Yuxi, as well as the food she helped to make, "Eat, are the injuries on your body better?" ”

"It's better." Xia Yuxi took a bite of the vegetable bun, and was stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his head and smiled, looking at Su Qiqiao, "Sister Qiqiao, tomorrow will be my fifteenth birthday." ”
