Sheng Qingqing followed his gaze and looked left and right.

It's been a long time, and it's really been a long time. Obviously, when she and Sheng Zhizhi came down from the mountain, it was still noon when the warm sun was in the sky, but at this time, it was a bit of a sunset.

In the cold winter, it gets dark early, and as usual, it is time to cook on the stove.

At this time, the villagers around them who were reluctant to watch the excitement were indeed gone, and they were afraid that they had already gone home to prepare for dinner.

"Grandpa the village chief, I know what you have to say." Sheng Qingqing bent the corners of her lips and said softly: "These two people have ill intentions, but our sister and brother are not unbearable. ”

She had suffered a lot in order to learn to cook before, and Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming, the two children, had also gone through great hardships at a young age, and this small setback in front of her was nothing.

The old village chief nodded with satisfaction, he was ready to comfort Sheng Qingqing, but he didn't expect their sister and brother to be so sensible.

"If only you understood. If you really kick them out for no reason, it will be difficult to explain in the village, so you should pay attention and find an opportunity......"

Sheng Qingqing responded clearly.

"If you have any difficulties, come to grandpa." The old village chief relaxed his expression and patted her head with a smile.

Seeing the old village chief leave, Sheng Qingqing restrained the look on her face and entered the courtyard with a cold face.

As soon as the courtyard door was closed, all the eyes of those dark places were closed out.

"Big sister!"

Sheng Qingqing hugged Sheng Zhizhi who rushed over, "What's wrong?" ”

Sheng Zhizhi pursed her lips and said hatefully, "It's not those two people yet." Sister, I really don't like them, can't I kick them out? ”

Even if the brain is not the most intelligent, Sheng Zhizhi has a natural ability to perceive. Whether she is a good person or not, she doesn't need to know specifically, she can basically tell it by just a few glances.

And this middle-aged couple obviously made her very uncomfortable.

"Huh? What the hell is going on? ”

Sheng Qingqing is a little strange, although Sheng Zhizhi has a hot temperament, she is not such a vexatious person. Since I have already said it before, I will not say anything more.

Could it be that when she was talking to the old village chief outside just now, what happened to those two people?

But what can you do in such a short time?

At this time, Sheng Zhizhi stomped her feet indignantly, and said angrily: "As soon as they came in, they changed their faces, saying that it was not early, and if they wanted to cook dinner for us, they had to go to the kitchen, and my little brother and I couldn't stop them." ”

Kitchen?

Sheng Qingqing's brows furrowed.

There was nothing else in the kitchen, except that they had gone to the town yesterday to buy a lot of food, and if those two men had seen it, they would have found that their family was not as poor as it seemed.

The three-and-a-half-year-old child, with a lot of money on him, will be targeted without accident.

But on the other hand, if these two men could keep their eyes on that little money, maybe they could show their fox tails sooner......

Sheng Qingqing pondered for a moment and asked, "Did they go finally?" ”

"No, the younger brother told them that the key to the kitchen was on you, and went to arrange a place for them to live first, and they gave up."

Sheng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

This is still her plan for the morning. Thinking that there was only a little bit of vegetables and meat worth at home, Sheng Siming, a six-year-old child, couldn't watch the house, so he found the only big lock in the house and locked the kitchen door. I didn't expect it to be of such use in the end.

"They're so annoying, get these two shameless ones out!"

Sheng Qingqing touched her little head soothingly, "Bear with it first, it shouldn't take long......"

Sheng Zhizhi's mouth suddenly pursed higher, but she didn't make any more trouble, and honestly stood beside Sheng Qingqing.

"Where's Siming?"

"Siming is arranging a place for them to live."

Speaking of this, Sheng Zhizhi was even more angry.

Their house was already dilapidated, and there were not too many empty houses to live in, so the two of them had to go separately as soon as they came. Why!

Sheng Qingqing had an idea in her heart, but she didn't agree at this time, but said: "Then you go and help, and my sister will cook for you." ”

This has been a little troublesome for a long time, she and Sheng Zhizhi are almost two o'clock water and rice without teeth, and they are really hungry in their stomachs, which is why Sheng Zhizhi is so energetic and in the mood to be angry with these two people of unknown origin.

Sheng Zhizhi was very convinced of her eldest sister, even if she was unhappy, she finally went to help Sheng Siming.

Sheng Qingqing went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was still cramped and shabby, but the door, which had never been locked, was now covered with a big lock.

This lock was the only big lock in their house. There used to be many other kinds of locks, but most of them were sold as scrap metal by the three hungry children. And this big lock is because it is too big for the three children to move......

Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but sigh, took out the key from the hidden pocket of her sleeve, and opened the door.

The kitchen was still the same as when they left in the morning, with a lot of pork and side dishes on the stove, and some unfinished porridge and water in the pot. Her original plan was to come back by noon and warm up the porridge for lunch for her two children. But I didn't expect to be delayed by an accident.

Looking at the many ingredients and rice noodles on the stove, Sheng Qingqing thought for a moment and divided them into two piles.

There are more piles, and there are very few piles.

The small portion was only enough for three children to eat for two days.

Then Sheng Qingqing threw the extra share directly into the small white room in the space. She had already experimented with it, and although the mysterious space could not put down living creatures other than her, dead things such as rice, flour, and grain could be put as many as they could.

Of course, she doesn't have enough food to try to fill the space.

In addition to the food on the stove, the porridge water in the pot can't be left for the two people to drink, after all, it can't explain what the preserved egg is, and the water for cooking porridge is too powerful, it's easy for people to find out that something is wrong.

Sheng Qingqing took out all the porridge and put it into the space together with the water in the tank. Seeing that the kitchen was almost cleaned up, she excused herself to go outside and fetch some water under the pretext that there was no water at home.

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming saw it and covered her up very cooperatively.

When the couple saw that Sheng Qingqing was going to cook, they really stepped forward to help.

"Baby, go and rest, it's good for your aunt to come here."

"Yes, yes, uncle, go fetch water, how old are you."

If they weren't brought by the Li family, maybe the three Sheng Qingqing sisters and brothers would really be deceived by their enthusiastic gesture, thinking that they really love their juniors.

And yet now......

Sheng Qingqing sneered in her heart, her face was still expressionless, and she put down the bucket, "Then there is Uncle Lao." ”

"What is not bothered, what should be should be." The honest-looking man immediately lifted the bucket.

Adults and children are really different.

The wooden bucket was dead, Sheng Qingqing needed two hands to lift the empty bucket, but for that man, he could easily lift it with one hand, and looking at his pace, it was also very brisk, obviously it didn't take much effort.

The water source of Shengjia Village is not far away, and it is especially close to Shengjia. If it was an adult, it was only a few dozen steps away, and it didn't take long to see the man easily come back with a bucket full of water.

"Let's cook."

Sheng Qingqing said in a cold tone, and the woman immediately couldn't help but follow her to the kitchen.

Ever since she entered the courtyard, she had been trying to see what was in the kitchen. There is a good saying, depending on whether a family is rich or not, it depends on how much their family eats three meals a day.

I heard that these three children's parents have been dead for so many years, and they rely on neighbors to help them live every day, so it should be quite bad, but when I see them today, although they are all a little thin, they are all red and white-toothed and full of energy. It's definitely good to eat on weekdays.

If her little treasure could eat so well, she wouldn't be ......

Thinking of this, the woman couldn't help but grit her teeth, and her steps were a little more eager.

"There's nothing to eat, and there are a lot of people, so I can only eat green vegetable porridge today." Sheng Qingqing pointed to the "ingredients" on the stove expressionlessly.

The woman looked at the small bag of rice and a few handfuls of vegetables in disbelief.

Sheng Qingqing saw her expression and sneered secretly.

These greens were actually verdant yesterday, but they are dry in winter, and one or two will be wiped out after leaving them overnight. But the ones that looked fresh had already been put in the freezer of the space by her.

"Baby...... ......The woman couldn't believe it, and stammered, "Do you usually eat these?" ”

In her suspicious gaze, Sheng Qingqing shook her head slightly.

Then, without waiting for the woman to show a look of surprise, she explained: "Of course not, I usually eat a little poorly, and sometimes I don't even have to drink porridge and water." The rice was bought with money from the village chief's grandfather. ”

The woman's face twitched obviously, she didn't believe that Sheng Qingqing's sister and brother usually lived such a day, if the three children were so energetic, they must be thin and weak. Look at that Sheng Zhizhi, it's full of energy!

But now there is no way, just after entering the door of the Sheng family, it is not good for her to go directly to the dishes that have been hidden.

"That'...... Then drink porridge today. ”

"Yes." Sheng Qingqing replied indispensably, and said, "It's okay, we're used to it." But now that my aunt and uncle are here, we will definitely not be so sad in the future. ”

What do you mean?

The woman had a bad feeling.

But seeing Sheng Qingqing suddenly hook the corners of her lips, she showed her first smile to the woman, she smiled and said, "My aunt and uncle are here to take care of us, and they will definitely not let us go hungry in the future." ”
