Chapter 117: Sister, I Want to Eat Sugar
"Just, sister-in-law, borrow, borrow, lend us some rice, our family has been eating wild vegetables for many days, this adult can stand it, the child can't stand it, look at this child, he fainted from hunger, sister-in-law, please......"
Zhang Qinfen didn't know where this woman knew that their family had rice, but she couldn't bear to look at the child like this.
She just wanted to turn her head and ask Su Xiao'e to go and order the rice to come out, but she saw that Su Xiao'e had already brought out a bowl of rice.
"Auntie, hurry up, we don't have much at home, let's take this back and cook it for the child to eat, oh, by the way, it's definitely too late to cook now, we just cooked porridge for dinner, give the child some to drink first."
Su Xiao'e said, put the rice on the table, and then went to the kitchen to light the fire, planning to serve the porridge cooked in the evening.
Now you can't take rice at home and talk about it everywhere, in case everyone comes to borrow rice, it will be a mistake to borrow it at home or not.
Zhang Qinfen watched Su Xiao'e's movements and hurriedly rushed in to help.
Looking at the child like this, Su Xiao'e was also distressed, and then said to Zhang Qinfen:
"Mom, why don't you boil an egg, I think this child is too thin and needs to be replenished."
Zhang Qinfen also nodded, the egg is from the chickens raised at home, although she is usually reluctant to eat it, but at this time it is used to save her life, and Zhang Qinfen is also generous.
"Xiao'e, bring two."
Su Xiao'e nodded, and went to the chicken coop to get the eggs.
People in the countryside generally store eggs by putting some rice underneath and then putting the eggs on top of them, which can be stored for a long time.
Su Xiao'e brought the eggs over, and Zhang Qinfen had already heated the porridge.
Then he went out with two bowls of porridge.
The middle-aged woman took the porridge and wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Zhang Qinfen.
"Don't be so polite, give the child some food, and you can eat some of the other bowl."
The middle-aged woman took the bowl and carefully fed it to the child's mouth with a spoon.
At first, the child did not move at all, and even the movement of swallowing was difficult.
When I got to the back, I was able to swallow some of it.
Seeing the child's reaction, the middle-aged woman cried with joy and began to cry again.
"Huzi, don't scare your mother, it's because your mother has no ability, and she can't even let you eat hot soup and rice."
Zhang Qinfen stood by and watched, with tears in her eyes, and then brought a bowl of warm water to both ends of the mother and son.
Su Xiao'e was busy in the kitchen for a while, cooking a bowl of boiled eggs in sugar water for the middle-aged woman and steaming a stewed egg for the child.
When they took it out, they caught water and sent it down a little bit for the child.
After eating some, Zhang Qinfen took the child over.
"You can eat some first, look at you, it's not much better than the child, I'll hold the child for you first."
The middle-aged woman saw Zhang Qinfen carefully take the child, and then fed her son with a spoon.
The hanging heart also let go, and then took the porridge and drank it in a big gulp.
It can be seen that this middle-aged woman has been hungry for a long time.
When the porridge was finished and Su Xiao'e served the eggs again, the middle-aged woman said she didn't want anything.
"Sister-in-law, why am I embarrassed to ask for your eggs again."
"It's okay, you can eat, it's all from the chickens raised at home, and there are still at home."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, the middle-aged woman finally took the egg and ate it.
This time, she finally didn't gobble up like before, probably just after eating, and was carefully tasting the eggs in the bowl at this time.
"Have you eaten enough, you still have porridge at home if you haven't eaten enough."
"I'm full."
It was not until the two bowls of porridge were drunk that the middle-aged woman took her child from Zhang Qinfen's arms.
"Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you today, it is estimated that my child and I would have starved to death, your great kindness, my Li Taohong is toothless and unforgettable."
"What are you talking about? Isn't it just a bowl of porridge, as for it, by the way, you can also bring back this rice, although it is not much, but you can eat a few meals. ”
"Sister-in-law, thank you, you are such good people."
Zhang Qinfen didn't need the middle-aged woman's thanks, but what she wanted to know was how she knew that she had rice at home.
"Peach, sister-in-law asks you, where did you hear that my family has rice?"
Li Taohong's face turned slightly red when she heard Zhang Qinfen ask.
"That, sister-in-law, isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival two days ago, the big guys have seen your family's construction and Xiao'e's big bags moving to her mother's house, so ......"
Zhang Qinfen has always been very low-key, usually invites people to eat, and most of the meat she eats is hunting by Xu Jianjian, and everyone in these villages knows it.
As for the rest, none of them have been revealed.
Now it seems that it is better to be more careful in the future.
"Peach, in fact, those in our family, you also know, Jianshe often goes to the mountains, how much will bring some mountain goods back, this Xiao'e married the first year of the Mid-Autumn Festival back to her parents' house, it's not good to bring more things."
"Sister-in-law, I know, I also know that your family is in difficulty, I really can't help it, so I ......"
While talking here, the child in Li Taohong's arms over there finally woke up.
As the child opened his eyes, Li Taohong's eyes moistened again.
"Huzi, you're finally awake, you're scared to death Mom."
"Mom, I want to eat."
As the child's words sounded, Zhang Qinfen immediately handed over the porridge that had not been finished just now.
The little boy gulped down the porridge, and his eyes lit up even more when he saw the stewed eggs.
Su Xiao'e hurriedly handed the egg to the little boy.
"Eat slowly, it's all yours."
After the little boy finished eating, he finally touched his stomach and looked at Su Xiao'e with a satisfied expression.
"Sister, I'm full, the eggs are so delicious."
Looking at him like this, Su Xiao'e thought of her niece, Tiger Girl, who is usually like this, tiger-headed and tiger-brained, but also really cute.
She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Huzi's face, and then teased Huzi and said:
"Have you eaten enough? I also said that if you are not full, my sister still has sugar. ”
As soon as Huzi heard Su Xiao'e say this, his eyes instantly turned.
"Sister, Huzi is not full, Huzi is still hungry."
Su Xiao'e couldn't help laughing, and the middle-aged woman next to her looked at the child in her arms with a doting expression.
"You, you, you're really greedy, where is the sugar in my sister."
Su Xiao'e went back to the house, because Xu Ruyi was clamoring for candy, and when Su Xiao'e asked Xu Jianshe to enter the city a few days ago, she brought some sorghum back with her.
In this day and age, sugar is still very expensive, and many children go to the store for five cents, and finally get two or three pieces of sugar.
And this candy has become the most popular thing in front of children.
