Candide in Chronology is on strike

Qin Xi took a bowl and filled the child with most of the bowl of porridge. Then, he scooped two more spoons into the porridge, added some side dishes, and handed it to her.

"Here, eat!"

Wan Tao took it but didn't eat it. It wasn't until Qin Xi and Qin Jiang had filled up the porridge and had dinner that she started to eat hard.

She ate this bowl of porridge very cleanly, so clean that she even licked up the remaining porridge water in the bowl.

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang didn't talk about her. This was a habit she had retained after being hungry for a long time. It would take some time for her to change it. She felt that the environment had improved and there was no need to rush to eat everything. Only when all foods are within reach will she slowly change.

Even if you can't change it, it's okay. There is nothing wrong with this habit. Food at this time is very precious. Licking the rice bowl is a habit that many people have. Even if the rice falls to the ground, everyone will pick it up and eat it, no matter what is on it. Whether it is contaminated with dust or not, they only know that this is food. As long as it is food, it cannot be wasted. Waste of food will be struck by lightning from the sky.

After eating, Qin Xi found that the sky outside was getting a little darker. Liu Mei and Qin He finally reached home. They were tired and hungry. Following the smell of the food, they walked directly to the next door and saw the food placed in front of them. There was an empty rice bowl and an empty stove, and all the indescribable little thoughts I had before were in vain.

"Brother Xiaoxi, who is this?" Qin He changed the subject and asked about the strange little girl sitting with the two of them.

He was very sure that he didn't know this little girl. Even Qin Jiang and Qin Xi didn't know this person before he left today. He just went to Liujia Village. Why did so many changes happen at home? .

"Her name is Wan Tao, and I picked her up and raised her." Qin Xi didn't want to say more and changed the subject: "Why did you come back so late?"

Qin He touched his head and said uncomfortably: "We are both helping to pick mushrooms at my father-in-law's house!"

It was still very hard, and it was already after four o'clock, as they did not include dinner. When they came back, Liu Mei's two aunts were talking about burning bridges across the river and driving people away. Naturally, they couldn't continue to stay there. Stay there.

Both of them are timid when facing the Liu family. When facing each other or other people, they are too strong to choke.

Qin He wasn't very familiar with the Liu family, and there were so many brothers-in-law, so he didn't dare to be tough, so he just went with the flow.

Liu Mei is very tolerant of her natal family. After all, they are her natal family, her closest blood relatives except for her future children. How can she fall out with them because of such a trivial matter? She doesn't want to hurt her. The grandma was embarrassed and left.

The two of them had a quarrel today. They lost [-] cents for selling mushrooms at noon, because Qin He bought a pack of cigarettes and gave them to the Liu family. He also worked for the Liu family for three or four hours in vain. Although he expected to make things difficult No, but I ate two sweet potato buns at noon, and I wasn’t very hungry!
Not to mention, going into the woods to pick mushrooms is still a laborious job.

Originally, I wanted to come here to have a bite, but who knew, Qin Xi and the others had already finished eating. Now, they had no choice but to go back and eat themselves.

I was busy today, really feeling useless, feeling depressed, and neither of them were in a good mood.

As soon as Qin Xi heard what he said, she knew something in her heart. However, she was an outsider and couldn't say much. There was no need to meddle in such nosy matters. After a brief greeting with the two of them, she sent them away.

The first thing Qin He and Liu Mei did when they got home was to cook. He felt like he could eat a cow in one sitting. He was so hungry.

Because the Liu family has a large population, Qin He's understanding of his mother-in-law's family has been almost fixed, that is, there is not enough to eat and there are too many people.

He still remembered that on the day of his mother-in-law's last birthday, he took half of the bacon at home. Liu Mei also gave her mother a red envelope, but in the end he only ate a bowl of vegetable soup and two sweet potato steamed buns. , not enough to eat, not enough to eat at all.Although everyone was living a hard life at this time, it was unthinkable to be [-]% full, but if you couldn't even be [-]% full when visiting as a guest, then it would be a bit... so what, this kind of thing, he would not It’s hard to tell others, I can only keep it in my heart.

Otherwise, if Liu Mei knew his true thoughts, she would probably explode. In her heart, her mother's family was naturally good. If Qin He dared to slander her mother's family, she would definitely have a big fight with him. , let him know who the big and small kings are.

"When I come back from picking up mushrooms tomorrow, I will go to the mountain to pick up some firewood. If I don't pick it up, I won't even have the firewood for cooking."

As soon as Qin He finished speaking, Liu Mei suddenly remembered something. It was not about collecting firewood, but about the fungi. Qin He sold the fungi she had worked so hard to pick up. Where was the money?
She has a very tight grasp on the financial power of her family. She wants to take it whenever Qin He has a dime in his hand. The saying that men become bad when they have money is regarded by her as truth, and she plans to Implement it in real life.

The money from selling the mushrooms was not Qin He's, it was earned by her own hard work. No matter what, she could not give Qin He an advantage.

"Qinhe.A.Ache"

Qin He stepped forward with concern, put his hand on Liu Mei's shoulder, and asked, "What's going on? Do you have a cold?"

"When we were on the mountain before, I told you not to work so hard. Wouldn't it be better to sit at home with your little sister and pick fungi?"

"You have to be brave, you have to stand up to it. Your body is not made of iron, so why bother? Anyway, the money from selling the mushrooms will not be divided between the two of us."

Although this was his own way of expressing concern, when these words reached Liu Mei's ears, it was Qin He's constant complaint. She just felt annoyed and annoyed to death.

She was uncomfortable to begin with. Qin He didn't care about her, but he complained about her. Where did this come from? At this moment, she only had one feeling in her heart, and that was that she was being treated unkindly.

"Okay, stop arguing. You are a grown man, why are you so long-winded? You have no masculinity at all."

"Ah, that's right." Liu Mei's tears and snot came out from the sneeze. She was so embarrassed, but she just wiped it with her sleeve and didn't care anymore.

She cared more about another thing than these tears and snot: "Where's the money? Take it out for me."

Qin He really didn't react for a moment: "What money?"

"Don't act stupid for me, where's the money from selling the mushrooms?"

"That's mine. I picked up the mushrooms and carried them back home. Give me the money."

After saying that, Liu Mei had to go through Qin He's pockets herself.

Qin He just stood there blankly, letting Liu Mei search.
