Chapter 3 Potato Chips

Looking at the pumpkin steamed rice that he had never seen before, no one dared to move the two little radish heads, looked up stupidly, and looked at Xu Xiaoxi with an incredible expression.

Xu Xiaoxi saw that the two children were still looking at him stupidly, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Xiao Li'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked pitifully, "Mother, will there be such fragrant rice tomorrow?" ”

"If it doesn't work, Xiao Li'er doesn't want to eat it today, and wants to save it for tomorrow to eat-"

Xu Xiaoxi really couldn't stand this child's pitiful appearance, so she touched Xiao Li'er's head with tears in her eyes, and said softly, "Of course there is, tomorrow my mother will make other delicious food for you, okay?" ”

"Good!"

The two little radish heads spoke together, and their eyes shone with a strange brilliance.

Xu Xiaoxi looked at these two children, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a curled nose, they were really good-looking, but the fly in the ointment was that they were too thin!

She touched Cheng'er's little head again, and said in a low voice, "In the future, my mother will make food for you every day, eat more, children need to grow meat to look good-"

These words made the two little radish heads very happy, and their mouths were full of brown rice, but they didn't forget to echo her words and nodded heavily.

The two children ate a big bowl full of them, and their bellies were round one by one.

Xu Xiaoxi finished eating a bowl herself, and her stomach was filled with something, and she suddenly felt as if she had strength.

Xu Xiaoxi was talking to the two little radish heads just now, and she didn't notice Lin Zhan at all, and when she looked towards Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan had already finished eating a big bowl of rice.

Xu Xiaoxi happened to meet his gaze, and immediately became a little embarrassed, so he could only ask stubbornly, "The taste - is it still to your taste?" ”

Lin Zhan snorted, although he didn't say much, but the bowl he had eaten up had already explained everything.

Probably because of Xu Xiaoxi's head injury, Lin Zhan took the initiative to put away a few bowls.

After lunch, Lin Zhan didn't know what to do outside.

Xu Xiaoxi couldn't sleep, and it was uncomfortable to lie down, so she groped in the kitchen to see if there was anything else to eat.

"Mother, what are you looking for?"

Xiao Li'er followed her inch by inch, and when she saw her looking around in the kitchen, she asked curiously.

Xu Xiaoxi smiled, "Mother-in-law will find something delicious for Xiao Li'er again." ”

Delicious?

Xiao Li'er's eyes lit up instantly, and she ran out on her feet, and then ran in again with a bag of things.

Xu Xiaoxi saw that it was several potatoes of different sizes.

Xiao Li'er said, "Mother, my father often cooks potatoes for us to eat, this is better than rice." ”

Burnt potatoes?

Xu Xiaoxi frowned, "How did Daddy give you boiled potatoes to eat?" ”

Xiao Li'er opened her round eyes and said softly, "Just put it in the fire and burn it!" ”

Sure enough, it's still this old-fashioned method.

Lin Zhan is a man, he has two children, and the most he can do is to keep them from starving to death.

"Li'er, my mother will make you something more delicious later, do you want to eat it?"

"Yes!"

This word deeply expresses Xiao Lier's thoughts.

As soon as she said it, Xu Xiaoxi washed the potatoes brought by Xiao Li'er and cut them into slices, then boiled a pot of hot water, put the potato strips in boiling water and boiled them for a while, and then took them out to dry.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Xiaoxi filled a wooden basin with hot water and helped Xiao Li'er take a bath.

The child was wearing her brother's clothes, her hair was tied in knots, and when she was helping her braid, Xu Xiaoxi noticed it, but she didn't say it at the time.

Xiao Li'er is very well-behaved, not making a fuss at all, with the help of Xu Xiaoxi, she quickly washed herself, and after changing into clean clothes, she immediately became a bright little girl.

After finishing these, Xu Xiaoxi rested for a while, and then put the potato slices he had just made in the pot and fried them.

After a while, the golden and crispy potato chips are baked, sprinkled with a little coarse salt, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Xiao Li'er ate a piece, and her little expression flew into the sky.

"Mother, you're so good, Li'er likes you so much-"

As she spoke, Xiao Li'er kissed her on the cheek.

The sincerity and happiness of the relatives overflowed Xu Xiaoxi's entire chest.

She put the plate on the table, and then said to Xiao Li'er, "Ask my brother to eat together!"

"Brother?" Xiao Li'er looked puzzled, and then said, "Brother seems to have gone out!" ”

"Where?" Xu Xiaoxi hurriedly asked.

"I don't know—"

As soon as Xiao Li'er shook her head, someone shouted loudly in the courtyard, "The surname is Lin, you widower who kills a thousand knives, you get out of the old lady!"

"Your family is dead, so busy that you can't even take care of your wild children?"

As soon as Xiao Li'er heard this voice, her little face immediately turned pale, and she stumbled and said, "Yes—it's the aunt of the Wang Er's family—"

Xu Xiaoxi frowned, although she didn't know who this Wang Er's family was, but as soon as she heard this scolding, she knew that this was a difficult shrew.

Xu Xiaoxi just went out, but Wang Erjia shouted into the courtyard.

Greeted by a short and fat woman.

Hanging eyes, big nose, fleshy face, coarse cloth shirt wrapped in fat, like a fat-headed cicada chrysalis.

She held Lin Yucheng's arm in her hand, and her short and fat hand made Lin Yucheng's arm a circle of purple marks.

Xu Xiaoxi's eyes were full of anger, and he wanted to rush over and snatch Lin Yucheng over, but he was afraid of hurting the child, so he said sharply, "This is my child, if there is anything wrong, we will discipline him, now please let him go!" ”

"Your child?"

Wang Erjia glanced at her, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Xiaoxi straightened her waist, "I'm a child!" ”

Wang Erjia looked at her, then at Lin Yucheng, and immediately laughed, "This is your son?" Hahaha, are you crazy about this woman? ”

"Then Lin Zhan is a widower, where is the daughter-in-law, where is the child?"

"Don't you be sick, do you treat this little rabbit as a son? This is a family of mourners, and it's not the way you want to die - don't laugh me to death. ”

Xu Xiaoxi saw at a glance that Lin Yucheng's eyes were drooping because of Wang Erjia's words, and his little face was wrinkled, and he had no confidence at all.

This child is not very old, and I don't know how many such cold words he has suffered in the village.

Xu Xiaoxi frowned, and her tone was cold: "It doesn't matter to you whether I treat him as a son or not, now you let go of my son." ”

Wang Erjia's eyes glared, and he said loudly, "Why should I let it go?" He stole my eggs, and I came to you for an explanation—you"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yucheng immediately retorted loudly, "I didn't steal it, I bought the egg from Mrs. Wu." ”

"Hey, you little bunny, you still don't admit it, are you looking for death?"

Wang Erjia's face was vicious, and he raised his hand to teach Lin Yucheng a lesson.

Xu Xiaoxi immediately said loudly, "You dare to touch him, try it!" ”
