Because the porridge is so thin. Basically, you can see the bottom at a glance, and most of it is made up of clear water, with only a small ball of white rice at the bottom.

Sheng Qingqing endured her emotions so that she didn't show an indescribable expression on her face.

Sheng Siming is also okay, although he is young, he has a lot of thoughts, although he was stunned for a moment when he saw this porridge water, he quickly reacted and lowered his head and drank it.

Only Sheng Zhizhi, she looked at the bowl of clear water in front of her, which was not even porridge, and her facial features were about to wrinkle.

If it had been before, it would have been bearable, after all, it was something that I was used to. But in the past two days, her mouth has been fed by big fish and meat, not to mention that the big fish and meat are still made by Sheng Qingqing. The craftsmanship of a star-rated chef is not comparable to that of an ordinary woman like Liu Qiucui.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Seeing that her sister and younger brother both bowed their heads and drank porridge, Sheng Zhizhi endured the disgust in her heart and took a sip.

I thought it would be hard to drink, but I ended up talking about it......

No taste?!

Sheng Zhizhi looked at the bowl in surprise.

Also, what can a bowl of water taste like?

Sheng Qingqing had already drunk the porridge water in three or two clicks, and her acting skills were much better than Sheng Zhizhi's. Still maintaining a quiet attitude, he asked: "Auntie, today's porridge is so thin, I saw that there were still some rice noodles in the kitchen before." ”

Even if a lot of it has been taken into the space by her, she bought a lot in the town the day before yesterday, and even the remaining part is enough for a family of three to eat for several days.

And the rice used in the bowl of porridge in front of him, Sheng Qingqing bothered to calculate, but I am afraid that there is no handful.

"Yes, there are still a few." Liu Qiucui sighed and pretended to say: "But what about our big family, I don't know how long we can eat such a little rice, so we naturally want to save some food." I just looked at it, and there were only a few of them. ”

Sheng Qingqing glanced at her, held down Sheng Zhizhi, who was about to move, and responded in a low voice.

"Oh, let's save some food first."

After dinner, it was completely dark. Winter nights are always so cold, even a person with a strong body would not dare to stay outside all night with such a cold winter.

If it was this time two days ago, Sheng Qingqing had already made a stove with her two younger siblings and was huddled in the quilt to get ready to sleep. Although the firewood stove is a bit dangerous, the ability to heat is undoubted.

Kong Gaoming really looked like an honest man, and he rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after eating.

Sheng Qingqing, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming have no opinion on this. They didn't leave these two people to eat rice, and no one's rice and noodles were obtained for free when the wind blew.

And in this winter, none of the three sisters and brothers are reluctant to let each other touch the cold water to wash dishes and pots.

Sheng Qingqing took her two younger siblings back to the house first, leaving Kong Gaoming and his wife to clean up in the kitchen. She didn't worry about these two stealing things, and the entire Sheng family was only worth people, and as for the ingredients in the kitchen, she didn't care about it.

Moving the stove out from under the bed, Sheng Zhizhi was very skillful in lighting a fire. The warm flames soon lit up the darkness of the room, and also took away the chill from the three siblings.

Although the kitchen is small, there is a large air outlet for cooking wood, and the cold winter wind is poured into the kitchen from time to time. After only one meal, they felt like their whole body was about to stiffen. The dishes of the first two days were good, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming ate hot, but they didn't feel cold. But today I only drank this one meal of gruel......

Thinking of the gruel, Sheng Zhizhi couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and she pulled Sheng Qingqing's sleeve.

"Sister, are we really only going to eat so little at night? I'm so hungry. ”

What can that bowl of water do, if you drink it, it will be all gone, even if it is two children, it is far from enough.

Although Sheng Siming didn't say anything, looking at his action of touching his stomach, he was obviously hungry.

Sheng Qingqing was also a little hungry at this time, but she was more distressed. In the past two days, I have worked hard to make a pair of younger siblings eat good things, and today I have to suffer such a crime again?

I touched the little heads of the two children one by one.

"Don't be afraid, wait a little later, my sister will find something for you to eat."

All the ingredients bought in the town are put into the space, and there is more than a little space for things. Sheng Qingqing was extremely familiar with the inside, and after exploring it casually, she found that the cooked food she had made before was also stored in the safe, and if she wanted to eat it, she only needed to take it out and heat it up.

And those cooked foods are very diverse, and they are sure to be a feast.

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming immediately became happy when they heard her assurance, and they didn't care where Sheng Qingqing was looking for food for them. Anyway, the two children have already made up their minds in their hearts, and they feel that their eldest sister has met the old man of the mountain god.

"Sister, are you going to find Grandpa Mountain God? I want to eat braised chicken wings. Sheng Zhizhi couldn't help but propose, and as she spoke, she seemed to remember the deliciousness of the braised chicken wings, and her saliva almost flowed out.

This braised chicken wings was not made for them by Sheng Qingqing, Sheng Zhizhi knew the taste of this braised chicken wings, it was entirely because there was a happy event in the village, and there was a dish of braised chicken. Although they could not eat the banquet without a gift, they were all neighbors, and when the family saw that their sister and brother were pitiful, they secretly gave them some of the remaining braised chicken wings.

It was the first time Sheng Zhizhi had grown so big and eaten such a delicacy as braised chicken wings.

Sheng Qingqing touched her hair, and said with a wrong smile: "Yes, sister is going to find Grandpa Mountain God and find you braised chicken wings to eat." What does Siming want to eat? ”

Sheng Siming had never made a wish, so he couldn't help but be a little shy at this time, thought about it and said in a low voice: "I...... I want to eat osmanthus cake. ”

Hearing what he wanted, Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but be stunned.

This osmanthus cake also has a origin.

This pastry is the specialty dish of Liu Xiamian, the former hostess of the Sheng family and the mother of the three sisters and brothers of the Sheng family, and it is her favorite to make during her lifetime. The original owner and Sheng Zhizhi had both tasted it, but not long after Sheng Siming was born, the Sheng family's parents died together. Sheng Siming only heard a few words about this plate of pastries from the mouths of the two sisters.

But that didn't stop him from wanting to taste it.

Maybe it smells like a mother's mother?

Sheng Qingqing scratched her head, feeling that it was a little difficult to do. It's not that there is no osmanthus cake in the kitchen of the space, but it has been in the freezer for a long time, and the taste after thawing is definitely not as good as it has just been made, and it must not have the "taste of motherhood" that Sheng Siming thinks.

However, facing Sheng Siming's wet black eyes, Sheng Qingqing still couldn't say the words of refusal.

"Okay! Sister Osmanthus Cake will definitely help you find it! ”

Sheng Siming smiled shyly, but the big black eyes were crooked, which showed that he was very happy.

But just as the three siblings were enjoying themselves, thinking about what else to eat, there was a sudden knock on the dilapidated wooden door.

The wooden door was very dilapidated, because she was worried that the cold wind outside would leak in, Sheng Qingqing used a wooden bench and some rags to block the crack of the door after entering the house. At this time, neither inside nor outside the house can see each other.

But even if she couldn't see it, Sheng Qingqing still knew very well who would be knocking on the door outside.

Who could it be?

It's none other than the couple who just moved in today.

I just can't think of what happened here.

Sheng Qingqing squinted her eyes and asked her two younger siblings to sit down in front of the stove and open the door by herself.

The creaking sound of the wooden door opening looked a little oozing in the night, but Sheng Qingqing didn't care, she looked at the people outside the house, and asked expressionlessly: "It's so late, is there anything else to do with my aunt?" ”

Liu Qiucui was a little dissatisfied with her for a long time before opening the door, but after hearing the question, she squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "Miss Qing, you see that the weather is too cold, and my aunt wants to ask if there is a stove." Your uncle is not in good health, and if there is no stove at night, I am afraid he will not be able to survive. ”

Hearing this, Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Not feeling well?

So who easily lifted a bucket of water as steady as Mount Tai?

Can't survive without a stove?

When the old village chief and Liu Qiucui fled on the road before, how did they survive the cold night? Can't you go to a stranger's house every night to borrow a fire?

"Auntie, you also saw it, our family is very poor." Sheng Qingqing looked at the woman in front of her expressionlessly, and said coldly: "There is only one stove at home. Uncle is not in good health, and Zhizhi and Siming are even worse, so please stay up first. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Qiucui to continue to say anything, she threw the door shut directly with a snap.

Letting these two people live in just wanted to see what conspiracy the Li family had, but it didn't mean that she had to sacrifice the health of her two younger siblings because of this. On such a cold day, if there is no stove to freeze all night, even a strong man will get sick, let alone a fragile child.

Sheng Qingqing closed the door too resolutely, Liu Qiucui didn't even react for a while, she looked at the door that was still shaking slightly, and couldn't come back to her senses for a while.

However, at this time, Sheng Qingqing had already entered the house, and she couldn't see her reaction. And she can't break in, otherwise the little disguise left will be completely torn up, and in the end, Liu Qiucui can only scold a few words secretly, and can only turn back,

After walking a few steps, it was the room where he lived, and when he opened the door, he saw Kong Gaoming sitting on the wooden bed. Liu Qiucui came into the house and didn't get a look from him.

"What are you doing with this dead look, my mother is going to take a trip, it's not for your own good?!" Liu Qiucui asked angrily.

Kong Gaoming finally gave her a little attention, and said coldly: "Are you doing it for my own good, or are you simply jealous of those children?" They are just a few poor children, even if they have a house, they have no father's love and no mother's love, why do you have to trouble them?! ”

Kong Gaoming patted the wooden bed hatefully, only tilting the wooden bed halfway. If he wants him to say, he shouldn't live in this house, Liu Qiucui saw him like this, and he was angry, and the fire that didn't come out of Sheng Qingqing's body just now was suddenly vented.
