Abe's father died of overwork a few years ago, leaving an orphan and a widow to survive.

Because of poverty, Abe's family can barely afford to eat, and they still rely on nearby neighbors to help them barely survive.

It wasn't until four years ago that Hu Jiyong came here and took the lead in finding some work for Abe's mother, so he finally scraped together enough tuition fees to send Abe to school.

Yes, Abe is almost 12 years old this year, but he is still in the fourth grade of elementary school, which is much behind children of the same age.

Fortunately, Abe himself is a studious, although he was reluctant to get close to An Xiao at first, but after knowing that she was studying in the city, he took the textbook and chased after her to ask this and that.

Abe's mother was afraid of disturbing An Xiao, so she wanted to spend him on something else, but she didn't expect to be stopped by An Xiao.

It's hard to meet such a studious child, it's too late for An Xiao to like it, so how can he be annoyed?

Anyway, she'll stay here for a while and make up for the lessons, but it's just incidental.

In order to welcome guests from afar, Abe's mother specially prepared a few local farmhouse dishes, and invited Hu Jiyong to come over for this sumptuous dinner.

Hu Jiyong didn't know that An Xiao lived in Abe's house, so he happily went when he got the news, and brought the basket that had been compiled all afternoon.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw An Xiao smiling at himself, and he was so frightened that he almost threw the basket in his hand directly.

When he regained his mind, Abe's mother Tu Ya also set the last dish, and the four of them sat around and announced the official start of the meal.

An Xiao had already been waiting for his mouth to water, and after seeing Hu Jiyong move his chopsticks, he followed up with his chopsticks and put a piece of bacon that he had been eyeing earlier into his mouth.

The bacon is salty and fragrant, and the entrance is chewy, and after swallowing, there is still an aftertaste in the mouth.

An Xiao couldn't wait to clip the second piece, but found that Abe, who was sitting opposite her, was staring straight at the meat on her chopsticks, and even saliva was about to be left.

"Abe, hurry up and eat, it's rude for you to stare at the guests like this."

Tu Ya found out about her son's abnormality, and opened her mouth as soon as possible, her tone was very gentle, but there was a bit of reproach in her eyes.

Abe glanced at his mother and lowered his head, but he still insisted on saying what he wanted.

"But...... I also want to eat meat. ”

Tu Ya couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard her son's words, but there was only so much meat in the family, and she could only grieve her son.

"Well, it's a guest to eat, we have to wait until the New Year to ......"

"Abe, if you want to eat, just say it, come, sister will give it to you!"

Before Tu Ya's words were finished, An Xiao put the meat that came to his mouth into Abe's bowl, and then took several pieces from the plate and put them in.

"It's rare to eat meat, and when Abe is growing his body again, he can eat it if he wants," An Xiao said, and then put some meat into Tu Ya's bowl, "You can eat it too." ”

"Yes, A-Niang, you can eat too."

Abe listened to An Xiao's words, and also followed her example, dividing half of the meat in his bowl into Tu Ya's bowl.

The son suddenly became sensible, which made Tu Ya's eyes red unconsciously, and seeing that tears were about to fall out, Hu Jiyong, who had not spoken, spoke.

"This person is fine, why are you crying? Give me a good meal! ”

After speaking, Hu Jiyong turned his gaze back to the table, drinking the wine he brought while eating the dishes on the table.

The remaining three people, after glancing at each other, also began to eat the rice in their bowls, and the atmosphere was much more lively than before.
