Chapter 3: A poached egg

The small room in front of me must have been a bedroom: mud walls, mud floors, a table, not even painted, and a three-legged stool, the missing leg covered with bricks.

There was also the bowl on the table with a broken edge, Meng Miao looked at it, and couldn't help but touch her little mouth, wouldn't it cut her lips?

Miao Fu, the eldest of the Miao family, had sharp eyes, watched his sister staring at the bowl on the table, and hurriedly ran over, for fear that he would be snatched by others too late.

picked up the teapot next to it with half of the spout gone, poured a bowl of water, and brought it to his sister, baring a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "Sister, are you thirsty?" ”

Li Cuihua reacted at this time, went to pick up the water bowl in her eldest son's hand, didn't grab it at once, and looked at him with a frown.

Miao Fu was bold enough to pinch the edge of the bowl and insisted, "I'll feed my sister!" ”

Seeing that her mother was about to get angry, she hurriedly said again, "Mother, you hug Meow, don't fall again!" ”

When Li Cuihua heard this, she hurriedly let go, and protected her daughter with both hands, as if she was really going to fall.

Meng Miao looked at the bowl with open teeth, and then looked at the expectation in the eyes of the young man in front of her, and suddenly remembered her younger brother.

When her parents died in her previous life, she and her younger brother were the same size as the teenager in front of them.

She was embarrassed to refuse, leaned forward, and took a sip of Miao Fu's hand.

Suddenly felt that the hoarse throat was much better, forgetting the teapot and the broken bowl, Meng Miao drank the bowl of water in one go.

Miao Fu was as happy as if he was drinking the water he poured when he saw his sister, but he tried his best to pretend to be calm and said, "Meow, I'm the eldest brother." ”

"Big brother." Meng Miao is as kind as a stream, and when she drinks other people's water, she has to be polite.

"Hey!" Miao Fu's voice was so loud that Meng Miao couldn't help but jump.

I saw Miao Dahai slap the back of Miao Fu's head, "What are you doing so loudly?" Look at what scares your sister! ”

Meng Miao saw that Miao Dahai's eyes were wide, and he couldn't help but crack his mouth and smile.

Miao Fu covered his head with one hand and pointed at his sister in surprise with the other, "Look, Meow Meow smiled!" ”

......

After an afternoon, Meng Miao finally accepted this family a little.

If she doesn't accept it, she can't help it, she just fell asleep, thinking that she could still be in the boudoir of the Meng Mansion when she woke up, all of this was a dream.

But looking at the bed curtain above my head that I don't know how many layers of patches have been patched, I realized that going back was a dream.

A girl who can pick up the burden of life from the age of ten has a heart that ordinary people can compare?

Therefore, Meng Miao quickly accepted the reality.

looked at the four brothers who were around him, shushing and asking for warmth, and from time to time he glanced at his father and mother.

She thinks it's not bad to be a three-year-old meow who can just talk.

Pretending that she couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of her brothers, she obediently and skillfully called someone, and was led around the yard by her brothers.

While no one was paying attention, Meng Miao jumped a few times hard, touched her small breasts, and found that her heart was beating strong and powerful, without any discomfort.

That's great! I can finally be a healthy person in this life!

As for this home, Meng Miao looked around the yard, as long as someone is there, what are you afraid of if you are poor?

"Meow, come in and eat!" Li Cuihua's shouts came from the house.

Meng Miao looked at the sky and smiled, from now on, Meng Miao will be Miao Meow!

Suddenly, the hand hanging beside him was held by a warm little hand.

Miao Meow lowered his eyes, although the little hand was very clean, it was still black, and when he looked up, it was a little boy who was a head taller than himself.

"Fourth brother." Miao meowed.

She suddenly found that maybe it was the effect of the former master's subconscious, or maybe she accepted the reality, and it was not so difficult to call these radish heads who were obviously smaller than herself brother!

Six-year-old Miao Le pursed his lips and replied softly, for fear that he would be too excited and scare his sister.

Entering the house, Meow Meow was picked up by her mother, sat on a bench knee-high as an adult, looked at the so-called food on the table, and was dumbfounded.

In the center of the dining table, which also lost its paint, there was a large clay pot, which was so clear that there was not even a silk oil star in it, except for a few floating vegetable leaves.

Next to the clay pot, there is also a plate containing six coarse grain nests.

Cheap dad sat in the main seat, here is Li Cuihua and himself, next to him is Miao Le Miao Kang, and opposite is Miao Fu and Miao Qiang.

As the boss, Miao Fu stood up, filled six bowls of soup, and placed them in front of each of them.

Meow Meow looked at the emptiness in front of her, and she was about to cry: didn't she even have her share of the wild vegetable soup?

As soon as the thought fell, I saw a bowl made of clay pottery that was better than others appeared in front of me, with a poached egg in it, and a few green vegetables, and even oil flowers floating on it!

Li Cuihua put down the bowl, touched the top of Meowmeow's head, and said with a smile, "Eat, be careful of burning." ”

Then, he picked up a nest head, broke it in half, and put the other half in Miao Dahai's hand.

"Her father, you eat more, there is more work in the fields in the spring."

Meow Meow secretly looked around, and everyone was eating seriously with their heads down.

Only Miao Le, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but glance at the poached egg because of his young age, and swallowed a mouthful of spit.

The third child, Miao Kang, seemed to know his brother's virtues, and broke his head alive, "Eat!" Don't mess around! ”

Miao Dahai slurped and drank the soup in the clean bowl, picked up the half of the nest head, put it in his arms, and got up, "I have to watch the water release in the field tonight, and your mother is at home." ”

Then go around behind Meow Meow and gently touch the back of her head, "Eat obediently, listen to your mother, Dad will go to fish for you at night!" ”

Miao Fu hurriedly stood up, still holding a small half of the uneaten wowotou in his hand, "Dad, I'll go with you!" ”

Miao Dahai waved his hand, "You are just a long body, you have to sleep enough, go again tomorrow!" ”

Miao Fu had no choice but to sit down again, looked at his sister and smiled, lowered his head and continued to eat.

Li Cuihua saw that her daughter hadn't moved for a long time, so she hurriedly asked, "Why don't you eat?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Meow Meow shook her head and hurriedly picked up her chopsticks.

After thinking about it, he divided the poached egg into two and put it in Miaole's bowl while everyone was not paying attention.

Then he pretended that nothing had happened, picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, and a pungent smell came straight to his mouth, which was the taste of lard that had been left for too long.

Meow Meow endured the discomfort and didn't spit it out.

Li Cuihua saw her youngest son's stunned appearance, looked at his bowl, and immediately understood, and touched her daughter's head, "Meow meow is really good." ”

Then he said to his youngest son, "What your sister gave you, eat it!" Remember to catch a few more fish tomorrow and replenish your body for Meow. ”

Miao Le nodded vigorously, and divided the half of the egg into four parts, giving each of the three brothers one piece.

Meow Meow looked at the poached egg that was finally divided into the size of a thumb cap, and couldn't laugh or cry.
