Chapter 4: Chicken Soup
Seeing her protecting herself again and again, Lu Tingli couldn't help but lower his head and look at the little girl in front of him.
The little girl has just recovered from a serious illness, her face is still unhealthy red, because there are still crystal teardrops hanging on her long and thick eyelashes that she has just cried, her eyes are red, and her nose is also red, like a bullied rabbit.
The small body is like a cat, and at this moment it spreads its arms and protects him like an old hen guarding a calf.
It's a little childish, but it's cute.
Lu Tingli's thin lips couldn't help but hook slightly.
Just when the two sides were about to break out, Xia's mother shouted from next door, "Bao'er, Bao'er, go home for dinner!" β
"Our mother shouted that we are eating!" The fifth brother blinked.
"Let's go, let's go......"
Xia Ningxing, who was afraid of the two parties, immediately pulled his brothers home when he heard the words.
After they left, a woman who eavesdropped on the foot of the wall walked in with a smile, patted Lu Tingli's head, her eyes were full of playfulness, and teased him, "Stinky boy, the little girl wants to promise herself, why don't you agree?" β
Lu Tingli was expressionless and slapped her hand away, "It's very naΓ―ve!" β
It's just a fairy tale, can you really take it seriously?
"Well, you won't find a wife like this." Mother Lu couldn't help but shake her head.
"What's the matter?" He said disapprerovingly.
He was alone in his last life, and he didn't feel anything wrong.
I even feel very relaxed.
"......" notes solitary life.

Before Xia Ningxing and his brothers ran home, they smelled the rich smell of chicken soup.
It smells so good!
"Bao'er, drink it while it's hot." Mother Xia took only one bowl from a large pot and handed it to Xia Ningxing.
The bowl is full of chicken.
As for the five brothers, one person has a mushy porridge and a hard bun that can't be bitten, and there is not even a chicken bone.
While eating, they swallowed and spat at the chicken soup and dried chicken in front of Xia Ningxing.
Obviously, they all want to eat, but they don't say it sensibly, because they know that their sister needs chicken soup more than them, and they woke up after being in a coma for several days.
Seeing that his brothers were so sensible, Xia Ningxing, who was eating alone, suddenly felt a little difficult to swallow.
Chicken soup is nothing to Xia Ningxing, who has eaten food from all over the world, but for poor farmers in this era, they may not be able to eat it once during the New Year.
"Why didn't Bao'er eat it?" Seeing her stop suddenly, Mother Xia couldn't help but look at her worriedly, and when she looked at her, she thought that it was the five stinky boys who affected her eating, so she immediately scolded: "What do you stinky boys look at, if you don't want to eat, get out of here, don't affect my sister's eating!" β
The five little boys trembled in fright, their movements were uniform, and they quickly withdrew their gaze and did not dare to stare at the chicken soup anymore.
"Mom, let's give my brothers a bowl too." Xia Ningxing sighed lightly.
Mother Xia rolled her eyes directly, and said in a soft voice: "What do you give them this group of money-losing goods, Bao'er, drink it while it's hot, and leave your stinky brother alone." β
Losing money......
Although I know that the original owner's mother is eccentric, it is better to see than to hear.
"Yes, sister, don't worry about us."
"We don't like chicken soup."
"Sister drink, grow tall."
Gluttony, but where are the brothers willing to give up the chicken soup she uses to replenish their bodies, they will shake their little heads one after another.
Xia Ningxing's heart is even more unpleasant, but Xia's mother has a persistent attitude.
In the end, Xia Ningxing could only childishly threaten: "Mom! My brothers don't have chicken soup, and I don't drink it anymore! β
Children who grow up in such unequal families are very likely to have psychological and spiritual problems, what if their brothers blacken her and want to kill her in the future?
"Good baby, don't make trouble," where did Mother Xia give such a good thing to a group of stinky boys to eat.
Give Bao'er to eat alone, this pot of chicken soup can be eaten for at least three days, if it is distributed to them, what will her Bao'er drink tomorrow!
"Anyway, my brother doesn't have chicken soup to drink, and I don't drink it either, a child who eats alone is not a good child!" In the end, under Xia Ningxing's insistence and coquettish voice, Xia's mother finally surrendered.
Her face was full of pain, "Okay, okay...... Drink it quickly, Bao'er, can't I go and serve them now! β
With that, she got up and went to the kitchen.
