This pound of meat sounds okay.

But the Zhou family is a prosperous family, with four rooms, plus two unmarried girls, adding up to more than 20 people.

This pound of meat is divided into the bowls of more than 20 people, and there is not much left.

Zhou Heishi can also get a piece, which is already extremely good.

Like Song Yuelan, as well as Song Yuelan, Zhou Heishi's daughter, Zhou Xiaoqing, didn't even get a mouthful of broth.

The two of them held the bottom-thin rice porridge in the corner and drank it silently.

Zhou Heishi thought that Song Yuelan was not in good health, so he secretly gave the piece of meat in his bowl to Song Yuelan, Song Yuelan didn't look at Zhou Heishi, and gave the meat in his bowl to Zhou Xiaoqing.

Zhou Xiaoqing was born black and thin, wearing his aunt's old clothes that were a little fat, and the clothes were empty enough to stuff another Zhou Xiaoqing.

She glanced at her father and mother quickly, and put the piece of meat in her mother's bowl, and then whispered that she was full, and the person grabbed her little basket and ran away.

Song Yuelan looked at the piece of meat in the bowl in a daze, and after a while, tears fell into the bowl one by one.

……

Zhou Xiaoqing ran to the vicinity of the wild shrubs under the big sun, squatted for a while, and began to dig wild vegetables.

In fact, most children are not afraid of the heat. In the past, when they were still in the village, they used to play in the sun in the scorching heat.

Zhou Xiaoqing dug wild vegetables here for a while, and some energetic and naughty children came over, deliberately knocked down the small back basket containing wild vegetables that Zhou Xiaoqing put aside, and made up for it, kicking the wild vegetables poured out of the back basket everywhere.

These naughty and mischievous children used to be led by Cao Hongchang, and they ran around the village to provoke chickens and dogs, and they were all very bearish.

Zhou Xiaoqing bit his lower lip, not wanting to entangle with them, silently straightened his back basket, and began to pick up the wild vegetables that were kicked everywhere.

When she finished picking it up, the bear children stepped forward and kicked the basket again.

Zhou Xiaoqing lowered her head forbearingly, and after a while, she repeatedly picked up the basket and picked up the wild vegetables.

When those bear children saw Zhou Xiaoqing like this, they became more and more energetic, and they wanted to step forward and kick again.

"What are you doing?"

Mei Qingyao strode over, stopped the naughty ones, and glared at them angrily.

In the past, when Cao Hongchang was still messing with them, these naughty bear children were tied to Cao Hongchang, and they were not Mei Qingyao's opponents, let alone their "boss" Cao Hongchang was not there at the moment.

A few Xiong Haizi stuck out their tongues and ran away.

Mei Qingyao squatted down, helped Zhou Xiaoqing pick up wild vegetables, and said indignantly: "Those bastards, even girls are bullied!" …… The next time they bully you, you tell me, I'll beat them for you! He clenched his fists and shook them.

Zhou Xiaoqing looked at Mei Qingyao in a daze.

"Alright." Mei Qingyao helped Zhou Xiaoqing pick up wild vegetables and got up.

Zhou Xiaoqing was a little chaotic, and he also got up.

She hadn't eaten enough, and she kept squatting, and this time, her body shook and she almost fell.

Mei Qingyao was startled and hurriedly helped Zhou Xiaoqing.

He is still a child in the end, and he doesn't understand what happened to Zhou Xiaoqing at all.

Instinctively, Mei Qingyao chose to ask for help from the adult who subconsciously believed in it the most.

He half-supported and half-dragged Zhou Xiaoqing, who had no strength in his body, and hurriedly walked towards Qiao Huaping.

- This means that the two children are still young, they are only eight years old, and no matter how idle and boring the people in the village are, they will not arrange two children.

Qiao Huaping quickly noticed this, said "huh", and hurriedly came over.

She took Zhou Xiaoqing from Mei Qingyao's hand, and simply checked the lower pulse with her hand, and came to the conclusion that the child was not full, malnourished, and hungry.

Qiao Huaping remembered the situation of Song Yuelan and Zhou Xiaoqing in the Zhou family.

At that time, Song Yuelan was so difficult, and she helped her four cubs.

She was more and more grateful.

Mei Qingyao swallowed a little nervously: "...... Zhou Xiaoqing, what's wrong with her? When I went there just now, she was being bullied, were those troublemakers angry with her? ”

Qiao Huaping replied briefly: "I'm hungry." ”

Zhou Xiaoqing lowered his head a little embarrassed.

Qiao Huaping looked at Zhou Xiaoqing's black and thin appearance, and was not very happy.

She opened the jar of brine and filled it with some brine; Then he stretched out his hand into the blanket and, by the cover of it, took a piece of bread which had been baked.

Qiao Huaping handed these to Zhou Xiaoqing: "Eat some." The body is the capital of the journey, you don't want to fall ill in the middle of the road, right? ”

Zhou Xiaoqing looked at the woman in front of him who rescued his mother from the slope in the middle of the night, and his eyes were inexplicably moist. She lowered her head and wiped a handful of tears: "Thank you, Aunt Qiao." ”

She took the bowl of meat that she hadn't touched in years, and the soft cake, and ate it.

Zhou Xiaoqing was obviously extremely hungry and devoured his food.

But halfway through eating, she stopped, looked at Qiao Huaping with some hesitation, hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Aunt Qiao, I'm full." Can I take the rest of this bowl and bring it to my mother? ”

Qiao Huaping nodded, deliberately using a brisk tone to ease Zhou Xiaoqing's uneasiness: "Of course you can." But, Aunt Qiao, there are a lot of these things, you eat it first, and I'll give your mother a serving! ”

She picked a few broad leaves from the bushes on the side, washed them down with water, and took some marinated water from the jar, such as pig liver, pig lungs, and large intestines, wrapped them tightly with leaves, and tied a beautiful knot with grass stalks along the way.

Qiao Huaping picked the knot made of grass stalks with his fingers, shook the beautiful leaf bag, and posed with Zhou Xiaoqing: "I look good with this bag, right?" ”

Zhou Xiaoqing nodded very seriously: "It's good-looking." ”

Qiao Huaping curled the corners of his mouth: "Auntie likes a good boy like you." Good boy, eat quickly, after eating, you take this to your mother. ”

She blinked and lowered her voice, as if she was sharing a secret with Zhou Xiaoqing: "When you take it back, hide it so that your grandma won't see it." ”

Zhou Xiaoqing had tears in his eyes, but he was smiling.

She nodded emphatically: "Good! ”

After having a meal at Qiao Huaping's place, Zhou Xiaoqing seriously thanked Qiao Huaping and Mei Qingyao, put on her small basket with wild vegetables, and went to Zhou's house.

Fortunately, at this moment, most of the Zhou family was sleeping, and Zhou Xiaoqing quietly called Song Yuelan out.

The mother and daughter looked for a secluded place where no one saw and talked.

She secretly stuffed the beautifully wrapped leaf bag in her hand to Song Yuelan.

Song Yuelan touched the warm touch in her hand and was stunned: "Where did it come from?" ”

Zhou Xiaoqing whispered, "Aunt Qiao gave it to me." ”

Song Yuelan's eyes were a little sour.

She silently opened the very beautiful leaf bag in her hand, revealing the extremely fragrant pork liver, pig lungs, and pig intestines inside.

The fragrance was overflowing, Zhou Xiaoqingrao was extremely full, and she couldn't help but sip again.

She whispered, "Mother, eat quickly." ”
