Fortunately, Niu Yu quickly saw Liu Qiucui, who was looking at her in the courtyard of the Sheng family, and immediately pulled her.

"Come on, you three little ones won't be able to eat much." Niu Yu deliberately accentuated the word "child".

Liu Qiucui gritted her teeth and watched as Sheng Qingqing's sister and brother were taken to Niu's house, and she couldn't wait to catch up and scold her. But after all, these can only be thought about in the heart.

Not to mention that Kong Gaoming disagrees, it is Niu Yu, a half-sized child, if she starts to do it, she can't eat good fruits.

……

"Eh, what's going on?"

When he entered the house and made sure that others couldn't hear it, Niu Yu couldn't wait to ask.

Sheng Qingqing sighed softly and explained the situation one by one.

"We didn't want to bother, but we couldn't help it."

"What bothers not to bother." Niu Yu said while giving his mother a look.

"What a weird look!" Aunt Niu slapped him on the head unceremoniously, "Wouldn't the old lady still dislike the girls and them to play?" ”

Niu Yugan smiled and covered his head, "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault." My mother is amiable, approachable, and bodhisattva-hearted! ”

Aunt Niu was about to hit him again, but Niu Yu hurriedly held his head and ran away.

Sheng Qingqing, Sheng Zhizhi, and even Sheng Siming couldn't help laughing.

"Second aunt, our family actually still has food, and we can't eat it for nothing, it's a bit ...... here"

"Tell your aunt this, you kid is really getting more and more out of sight! How much can you kids eat. Aunt Niu was in a cheerful temper, and she also patted Sheng Qingqing's head, pretending to be annoyed and said, "If I say something extraordinary, I will beat you again!" ”

The things Sheng Qingqing took out were forcefully stuffed back, and she could only cry and laugh.

So the three sisters and brothers had a meal at Niu's house.

Because Sheng Qingqing came temporarily, it was too late to add dishes. There are only four dishes in the Niu family at noon, in addition to a plate of stir-fried meat with green vegetables, there are side dishes such as shredded potatoes and boiled bean pods.

Aunt Niu's craftsmanship is not good or bad, but there is a taste of home hidden in the meal, and it still tastes very sweet. At least Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming, who have grown up from snacks to adulthood, have no resistance to this table.

"Eat more." Aunt Niu also often picks vegetables for them.

Niu Yu couldn't be idle for a moment, even if the food couldn't stop his mouth, at this time, while eating, he asked Sheng Qingqing.

"You came to my house to eat, what should you do with those two people?"

This is asking Liu Qiucui and Kong Gaoming.

Sheng Qingqing sneered indifferently, "What should I do if I love it, didn't they say that they came all the way to take care of us." Do you want a few of our juniors to find food for them? ”

I have to let them live in the Sheng family, but it doesn't mean that I have to guarantee them three meals a day!

Niu Yuxu nodded matter-of-factly, and then said to Aunt Niu seriously: "Mother, you see that Aqing is really wilted and wilted." ”

"Girl, this is smart." Aunt Niu laughed and knocked on his head with chopsticks.

Sheng Qingqing doesn't mind, Niu Yu is such a person, and he and the original owner often laugh like this in my memory.

"Girl, what are you going to do with those two people, just continue like this, it's not a way." Aunt Niu ate a few bites of food before asking a little worriedly.

"There's no way around it now." Sheng Qingqing was also helpless in her heart, she was just a cook, where could she use her brains as casually as in those palace fighting novels, and she could let Liu Qiucui and the others get out of her hands with satisfaction.

Aunt Niu can't do anything, this is strictly counted as a housework.

The meal was okay before a meal, but after this topic was mentioned, Sheng Qingqing felt that the rice in her mouth tasted a little like chewing wax.

Moments later......

"You guys have fun together, my aunt is going to bring lunch to your second uncle." Aunt Niu went out with a lunch box.

Sheng Qingqing found out that Second Uncle Niu was not at home.

"Why isn't the second uncle at home today?"

Niu Yu chose a piece of grass to hold in his mouth, and when he heard the words, he said, "Isn't it about to be the New Year?" My dad thought about going to the mountains to pick herbs one last time, so that he could go to the town to get some food and have a good year. ”

In the cold winter, the villagers are reluctant to go up the mountain. Therefore, if you go to pick herbs at this time, the benefits will naturally be much more abundant than usual.

Sheng Qingqing nodded knowingly.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning......

"Are you going to go to town again a year ago?"

Seeing that she suddenly became excited, Niu Yu was a little confused, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to buy New Year's goods." ”

Sheng Qingqing's eyes widened, and a plan in her heart took shape in an instant.

"Cow ...... I mean, Brother Xiaoyu, can you take me with you when you go to town this time? ”

Niu Yu was stunned, "Aren't you guys having enough food?" ”

"I also want to buy some New Year's goods."

"Do you have the money to buy it?" Niu Yu looked at her suspiciously.

It's not that he looks down on Sheng Qingqing, it's that the Sheng family is too poor, so poor that the entire Sheng family village understands. Even if a thief from outside came to the village to steal something, he would directly bypass the Sheng family. Because of the waste of a lot of effort, it is impossible to find anything valuable in the Sheng family.

The last time Sheng Qingqing took out so much money to buy food, it was surprising enough.

"Yes." Sheng Qingqing was very confident and explained: "I haven't spent the money I sold ginseng last time. ”

Niu Yu was speechless, but still persuaded: "Even if you have money, you should save some flowers, next time you may not have such good luck to pick ginseng." And you still have those two ...... at home Even if you buy New Year's goods, won't it be cheaper for them? ”

Sheng Qingqing smiled, "Brother Xiaoyu, don't worry, I will definitely not cheapen them." ”

This persuaded for a long time, but it still had no effect.

In the end, Niu Yu had to give up, and said deflatedly: "You have talked a lot in the past few days, and I thought that my temperament had changed, but I didn't expect to be so stubborn!" ”

Sheng Qingqing smiled good-naturedly.

"Okay, okay." Niu Yu couldn't help her, waved his hand and said, "When my father comes back, I will talk to him, and I will take you for a ride when the time comes!" ”

"Then thank you, Brother Xiaoyu." Sheng Qingqing said with a smile. Let Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming also come to thank them.

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming were playing tangram, and they were called over at this time and thanked them blankly.

Niu Yu glared at Sheng Qingqing angrily.

After eating and helping to wash the dishes and chopsticks, Sheng Qingqing took a pair of younger siblings home.

Not surprisingly, when they came back, Liu Qiucui stood at the gate waiting for them, and her eyes were full of viciousness that could not be hidden. At this moment, she seemed to have torn off all the shrunken and kind pretense in front of everyone yesterday, and the whole person looked mean and vicious.

However, the three people who saw her expression all had an indifferent attitude.

Sheng Qingqing took the two children without squinting, and walked straight past her, as if she didn't see this person.

Sheng Zhizhi made a naughty grimace, causing Liu Qiucui to stare more viciously.

……

"Sister, did you see that old pious woman's expression just now? I really laughed at it. ”

As soon as she entered the house, Sheng Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh.

Sheng Qingqing patted her head helplessly, "What are you doing to provoke her, it's not good if the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry." ”

There was nothing to eat at home, Liu Qiucui and Kong Gaoming must have been hungry at noon, and when they saw them coming back from eating and drinking from next door, they must have hated it very much, and at this time Sheng Zhizhi also went to provoke, Sheng Qingqing felt that it was a little too much.

It's not that I feel pitiful for Liu Qiucui, but I'm afraid that this person will do something excessive after tearing his face. Rabbits will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, and dogs will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention people like Liu Qiucui, who are not kind in the first place.

Sheng Qingqing herself is naturally not afraid, she is worried about the two small ones.

Sheng Zhizhi looked full of confidence, patted her chest and said: "I'm not afraid of her, if she dares to do something to me, I will hit her with a slingshot!" ”

Sheng Qingqing then remembered that her slingshot that could hit rabbits a hundred steps away, but this slingshot had only hit two rabbits so far, and it was not so easy to use for the Venerable.

But Sheng Qingqing didn't suppress her confidence, and only said: "You still have to be careful, the enemy is still very cunning." And you have to protect not only yourself, but also Siming. ”

Sheng Zhizhi looked at the thin and weak little brother and felt that he had a great mission.

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The past ten days have not been difficult for the three of them with Sheng Qingqing's sister and brother, or rather, they have lived the most comfortable time since they were born.

You can eat three meals a meal, and it is very warm to sleep at night. I don't need to do any work, I basically eat, sleep, sleep and eat every day, and when I'm idle and bored, I go next door to find Niu Yu to play.

It's really relaxing and comfortable.

But compared with them, Liu Qiucui and Kong Gaoming are living more miserably.

There was no food at home, and the two adults had to fend for themselves in order not to starve to death. Sometimes Kong Gaoming can still catch some prey in the mountains, while Liu Qiucui does some things like stealing chickens and dogs, touching vegetables in the east and bacon in the west house.

But it is precisely because of Liu Qiucui's behavior of stealing chickens and touching dogs that the people in Shengjia Village are extremely unkind to her.

An obvious example of this is that she tried to borrow a stove, but she couldn't borrow it.

While not having enough to eat is only one aspect, the hardest thing to endure is the cold nights. I can wake up every night from the cold, shivering until dawn.

Under such torture, Liu Qiucui became thinner and more fragile, and she was even thinner than when she first came to Shengjia Village. But while enduring a miserable life, she also had to grit her teeth at the three Sheng Qingqing sisters and brothers who lived comfortably.

Almost all three of them went to Niu's house for a meal, and she had to grit her teeth and curse once.

Sheng Qingqing and the three of them didn't hear it, Kong Gaoming frowned at first to stop it, but after hearing it many times, he developed immunity, and let her scold, and Liu Qiucui didn't dare to do anything.
