After discussing with Lu Yuan, Li Yuan returned to the village.

She went home first and put the beef that Jiang Zhan bought for her on the table.

Jiang Zhan didn't know that she was living with the old man now, and she still bought two portions of beef.

The old man was not at home, Li Yuan thought about it, carried one of them, and went out.

Li Yuan went to find Wang Huaiming.

Although Wang Huaiming is the head of the village, his family's life is not better than that of others, and the two brick houses at the west end of the village are his house. Originally, the earthen house where their family had been living was built just after Wang Huaiming's son Wang Jicheng got married a few years ago.

When Li Yuan passed, he didn't pay attention to the time, entered the courtyard, and saw Wang Huaiming's family sitting in the hall eating, only to realize that it was already noon.

She turned around and was about to leave, and Wang Huaiming had already seen her.

"Li Yuan, why are you here?" Wang Huaiming put down the chopsticks in his hand: "Come into the house." ”

Li Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the house.

Wang Huaiming's wife Qi Fen is a kind person, and when she saw Li Yuan, she stood up with a smile: "Li Yuan is here, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat at our house." ”

Li Yuan hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't bother, I've already eaten." ”

"Eat some after eating, uncle's coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it." Where can Wang Huaiming not see that Li Yuan is embarrassed?

He gave Qi Fen a look, and Qi Fen got up and went to the pot house, and when he came out, he was holding a bowl of white rice.

Li Yuan glanced at it, the rice in the Wang family's bowl was only a small flat bowl, but the bowl of rice that Qi Fensheng gave her was piled high.

When Qi Fen came over with the bowl, the people of the Qi family all looked at this side, their eyes full of envy, but they didn't dare to say anything about what their parents decided.

Li Yuan saw the reaction of the Qi family in his eyes, and his heart warmed.

Qi Fen put the bowl in front of her: "Come, Li Yuan, my aunt didn't give you too much, you eat first, if it's not enough, my aunt will give you more." ”

It's all piled up into a small hill, not much?

Li Yuan was a little moved in his heart.

Now this rice is not something that can be eaten in a single meal, even if it is eaten, it is all carefully calculated, and besides, when she came over today, it was all sudden, where could the people of the Wang family expect it?

In this bowl, I'm afraid it's the only rice left in the Wang family's pot.

"Auntie, I have a small appetite and can't eat so much, besides, I have eaten it before, and I haven't moved in this bowl, let my brother and sister-in-law share it."

"Li Yuan, this is what your aunt gave you, you can eat, your brother and they are already full."

"Yes, Sister Li Yuan, we're full, you can eat." It was Wang Huaiming's youngest son, Wang Jiyu, who was eight years old this year, and although he said so, his eyes were staring at Li Yuan's bowl.

"Xiaoyu, my sister can't eat it, can you help my sister share some of it?"

Wang Jiyu nodded, and shook his head quickly.

Li Yuan thought it was funny, and turned his head to look at Qi Fen: "Auntie, I really can't finish eating." ”

Qi Fen looked at Wang Huaiming.

"Then you can divide some of them." Wang Huaiming said.

"Okay." Qi Fen walked over, took out half a bowl of rice from Li Yuan's bowl, and distributed it to the other children, who were very happy when they saw that they had shared the rice, and did not forget to thank Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was very happy to see it.

She suddenly remembered the beef in her hand.

"Look, as soon as I'm happy, I forgot everything in my hand, sister-in-law, here you go."

Qi Fen was a little puzzled: "What is it?" ”

"Braised beef."

"You kid, you're here, why do you still bring things?" Wang Huaiming reproached her, sighing in his heart, what a good child, why don't the people of the Li family know how to cherish it?

"Li Yuan, your uncle is right, we can't ask for this beef, you can take it back and eat it with Uncle Li."

"Auntie, don't listen to my uncle, give it to you, I still have it at home, say it, don't laugh at me, I also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, things sent by others, and I also gave a lot, I and my grandfather can't finish eating, this marinated good don't eat quickly, it's easy to spoil."

Qi Fen happily accepted the things: "Then I'll cut it, just add a dish!" ”。
