They arrived late, and the village chief had already arrived.

Put the things on the ox cart, the village chief counted the number of people, confirmed that no one was left behind, and drove the ox cart back to the village.

"I don't know if Dad has eaten well." Cheng Yun said sadly.

His father is not happy to deal with people now, what if the village chief's daughter-in-law sends food over, and his father is too lazy to open the door.

Cheng Yun's worries are not unreasonable.

To a certain extent, Cheng Zhongqian is a very self-centered person, he will do what he is willing to do, and he will not do what he does not want, no one can say it, except for their mother.

Even the uncle is sometimes helpless against this younger brother.

Cheng Yun glanced at Cheng Yi, he didn't know that he had pulled a piece of grass from there, and was teasing Lingbao, poking his ears for a while, and brushing his face for a while.

"Ah, it's so itchy, second brother, don't play!" Ling Bao puffed out his cheeks and said unhappily.

Erlang said shyly: "If you want to play, you have to play." ”

Ling Bao shrank his neck and dodged, and his little short hand went to grab the grass in his hand, but Cheng Yi held his head down, and he couldn't move forward a single point.

"Hahaha, little fool, come and hit me." Cheng Yi was extremely rampant.

Ling Bao was angry: "You are so bad, I don't want to play with you!" ”

Cheng Yun twitched the corners of his mouth, afraid that he would be like his uncle in the future.

Lingbao has never walked such a long way, and he can't stand it halfway, and his feet hurt so much.

But she didn't want to cause trouble to others, and she kept it from talking.

It was Cheng Yun who found that she was walking slower and slower, limping, and picked her up.

Cheng Yun is a little better than her, after all, she has two months of experience in traveling, but it is only a little.

Lingbao felt sorry for his brother, and he didn't want him to hug him. If Cheng Yun had to hug her, she would look like she was about to cry.

"Cheng Jialang, you put Lingbao on the ox cart, isn't there still a little space?" The village chief said.

Cheng Yun said happily: "Thank you village chief." ”

Lingbao also said obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief." ”

The king leapt to his feet, jumped lightly, and lay on her lap.

It also needs to take a break.

You know, at its speed, if it weren't for Lingbao, it would have arrived home a long time ago. In return, Lingbao has to give it a massage!

If only the meat buns in the oil paper could be divided into one piece, it is so fragrant!

Lingbao muttered in a low voice: "King, you can really eat." ”

After eating a bowl and a half of noodles, I wanted to eat meat buns again.

She asked worriedly, "Will you survive?" ”

She heard from the old people in the village that in the past, some people just kept eating and eating, and then supported themselves to death.

The king waved his hand: "No, I haven't eaten enough, how can I die." ”

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Lingbao looked at its belly, reached out and touched it, and exclaimed, "It's really not bulging!" ”

Although fat, it really doesn't drum!

She sighed again, "You're really delicious." ”

The king proudly said, "It is a blessing to be able to eat." I can eat my pride. ”

Ling Bao suddenly groaned and asked, "Then have you eaten enough at home?" ”

The king's gaze became resentful: "No." ”

Not once.

The Cheng family is too poor!

Ling Bao felt very guilty, and touched its back: "I'm sorry Oh king, I'll share my meal with you in the future, okay?" ”

King: "That's not necessary, I don't feel full after eating so much, but I don't feel hungry either." But you're different, you're still growing up, so you have to eat more. ”

"Aren't you really hungry?"

"Really. If you are really worried, study hard and find a way to earn money in the future, we have money, we want to eat as much as we want! ”

Ling Bao nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”

She wants to study hard and earn a lot of money in the future, so that the king, her father and brothers will not go hungry!

With the soft afterglow of the sunset, the ox cart swayed, the wheels "creaked", holding the warm body of the king, Lingbao yawned, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally his head was lowered, and he fell asleep on the king, and the flesh of his cheeks was squeezed and pouted.

"Meow." The king shouted.

Cheng Yun lowered his head and saw the little girl sleeping Zhengxiang, so he asked the village chief to borrow the clothes from the ox cart and cover Lingbao.

He and Cheng Yi walked behind, keeping an eye on Lingbao's situation at any time.

It wasn't until the moon rose that they finally returned to the village of Beihe.

Ling Bao rubbed his eyes and called out in a daze: "Brother." ”

"We're home, wake up, and go to sleep when we have something to eat." Cheng Yun said.

Lingbao got down from the ox cart, still a little confused, but when she saw the eldest brother and the second brother taking something, she also helped to get it, and Cheng Yun asked her to take the oil paper bag.

As soon as I walked to the door, I found a figure standing in front of the door.

"Daddy?"

Cheng Zhongqian glanced at the three of them in turn, and asked expressionlessly, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Cheng Yun said: "The road is slower. ”

Cheng Zhongqian stopped talking.

"Don't stand here, Dad, let's go in." Cheng Yi couldn't wait to say, "We bought meat buns." ”

There was an oil lamp in the room, and the wick was already half burning, and it was probably lit as soon as it was dark.

On the table were bowls and chopsticks and a plate, which was filled with unfinished dishes.

It's good that my father didn't starve himself.

Cheng Yun put the rice, noodles and vegetables in the kitchen, and put other bits and pieces in turn.

"Dad, you haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? Eat it. ”

Vegetarian buns cost a penny, meat buns cost two pennies a penny, I haven't eaten meat for too long, Cheng Yun gritted his teeth and bought twenty in one go, enough to eat.

There are three men in the family, one big and two small, and their appetites are not small, Lingbao is full after eating two, and the miserable one is the king, who only gets one.

The king meowed angrily: "A group of people who have no conscience, there is no king, can you get the red snake?" And even give me only one, your conscience has been eaten by dogs! It's so stingy! ”

Cheng Zhongqian's brows furrowed, it was too noisy.

"What's your cat barking? Shut it up. ”

Lingbao said honestly: "It said that you only gave it a meat bun, which is too stingy." ”

Cheng Zhongqian's face was darker than charcoal.

What it thinks, is what she thinks.

"What do you mean?"

Ling Bao scratched his head blankly: "Daddy, you asked me, I just told you, why are you angry again." ”

Cheng Zhongqian said coldly: "Are you saying that I have a bad temper? ”

Ling Bao shook his head: "I didn't say it. ”

But Daddy really has a bad temper and is always angry. Her little eyes fluttered, and she muttered in her heart.

"Big brother, give two more to the king." Ling Bao pleaded, "The red snake was caught by the king, and it is the hero of our family." ”

Cheng Yun readily agreed.

"King, eat quickly." Lingbao fed it to the king and said, "Next time, you have to say it earlier, so that mine can be shared with you." ”

If the king doesn't say it, it won't grab food with children.

Cheng Zhongqian glanced at him and snorted coldly.
