Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Chapter 37 Draw an egg

Xia Ning: "I suddenly felt a little lucky."

It's like, when I'm sleepy, I just have a pillow stretched out.

Zhou Junmin: "I don't know if it's suitable. I'll take you to see it next time I go to town."

Xia Ning nodded and said, "Okay."

For dinner, Xia Ning cooked vegetable soup and added a little shredded pork and mushrooms. The whole pot was filled with the aroma of vegetables, and the color was also very beautiful.

Zhou Junmin took a look and suddenly found that his stomach was growling.

Zhou Junmin: "I can have a bowl at night."

One bowl was actually too little, but because I couldn’t eat it before, my stomach seemed to have shrunk.

Xia Ning served a bowl of porridge to Zhou Junmin: "If you like it, I'll make it for you next time."

Since Xia Ning came over, Zhou Junmin felt that the food had become better.

Although the ingredients are still the same, but with different cooking methods and different materials, the vision and taste are completely different.

After eating a bowl, he actually felt like he hadn't eaten yet.

Zhou Junmin: "I think I can still eat another bowl."

Xia Ning: "There is still something in the pot. I will fill another half bowl for you. I will cook it for you after your body recovers. You can eat more by then. You still have to control it now."

Thinking that her younger brothers and sisters might have nothing to eat now, Xia Ning filled a big bowl and said, "I'll give one bowl to my younger brothers and sisters."

Zhou Junmin nodded, he would not be stingy with this little food.

If it weren't for Xia Ning, who had cooked the food at home, he probably would have only eaten one bite.

Just after Xia Ning went out, Xia Jiaojiao came over.

In March and April, it was still very bright at around six o'clock, so Xia Jiaojiao specially brought two bananas over.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Zhou Junmin washing dishes, but Xia Ning was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Jiaojiao: "Third brother, what's going on?"

Zhou Junmin didn't expect anyone to come at this hour, and his deep pupils looked towards Xia Jiaojiao.

Xia Jiaojiao hurriedly said: "The bananas at home are ripe. I heard that bananas are good for the intestines. I specially brought two for my third brother to moisten the intestines."

While talking, Xia Jiaojiao looked left and right, but she didn't see Xia Ning.

She asked: "Where's Xia Ning? She was supposed to wash the dishes, right?"

Zhou Junmin had already washed the bowl, stretched out his hand to wipe his hands, and said while wiping his hands: "There is nothing that should or should not be done. Do you have anything else to do? If not, just go back."

Xia Jiaojiao: "..."

The first time she came here, she was kicked out the first time she came here.

It was impossible for her to bear it.

Xia Jiaojiao: "Third uncle, although you are my third uncle, in a sense, you are my brother-in-law."

She wanted to remind Zhou Junmin that no matter in every aspect, she was her sister-in-law and sister, and her seniority was higher than Zhou Junmin's.

Zhou Junmin had no idea what Xia Jiaojiao meant when she came over and said these words, and he didn't want to understand what she meant when she said these words.

Looking at Xia Jiaojiao with cold eyes, she asked indifferently: "So?"

"..." Xia Jiaojiao simply couldn't deal with the person in front of her who didn't want to talk to her at all.

But she was unwilling to leave like this because she hadn't seen Xia Ning yet. Where had Xia Ning gone?
Why did she feel that Xia Ning's life had become easier since she came to Zhou Junmin's place.

This feeling made Xia Jiaojiao feel very uncomfortable.

Xia Ning should have nothing.

At this time, Xia Ning secretly took a large bowl of porridge back. Xia Xue and Xia Kai were lying on the bed in the house. They were dirty and hadn't taken a shower. Their stomachs were growling with hunger. Neither of them had any strength. Not wanting to move at all.

Mrs. Xia had already gone out to visit after eating.

Xia Xue touched her shriveled belly and said to Xia Kai, "When do you think eldest sister can pick us up? What will eldest sister eat tonight?"

Xia Kai: "Stop thinking about it and go to sleep well. Just dream about chicken drumsticks when you sleep."

When Xia Ning arrived at the door, she heard two people lying on the bed hungry and talking in their sleep.

Hurry open the door and come in.Xia Xue and Xia Kai thought that Mrs. Xia was back, and they were so frightened that they quickly closed their eyes.

Xia Ning said: "Xia Xue, Xia Kai, sister has brought you food. Hurry up and drink porridge."

Have porridge?

As soon as she heard her sister's voice, Xia Xue immediately sat up.

Xia Kai couldn't wait to get up.

Xia Kai: "Sister, you are here."

There was excitement in her voice, she was so happy that she was about to explode.

Xia Ning felt sad to hear this.

She put the bowl on the table. After she went out, everything in the room was emptied, leaving only a wooden bed.

Xia Ning shook her hands slightly, but still said to her siblings in a soft voice: "You guys eat first, I want to take the bowl back."

Xia Kai: "Okay."

The porridge made by my sister is so delicious.

Xia Kai tastes so delicious that he wants to swallow it all on his tongue.

Xia Xue took a bite and bubbled with happiness: "Sister, this porridge is so delicious."

Xia Ning: "You guys eat slowly."

Xia Kai: "We can't eat slowly. When Mrs. Xia comes later, we won't have anything to eat."

Xia Ning: "Did she not let you eat it again?"

Xia Xue: "She drew an egg for each of us tonight."

The old hag!
Xia Ning's hands clenched into fists. This old lady was really nothing. She actually bullied two children!
She reached out and rubbed their heads: "Eat slowly, sister is thinking of a solution."

Xia Kai swallowed a mouthful of porridge and then said: "Sister, please slowly think of a way, we will go to your place to eat something delicious every day."

Xia Ning responded lightly: "Yes."

Although she can do this now, it is not a long-term solution. She still has to send her younger siblings to school.

Only one bite left.

Xia Xue said to Xia Kai, "You are a boy, let me take this bite."

Xia Kai: "No, no, no, you are a girl, let me take this bite."

Watching the two little carrot heads showing humility to each other.

Xia Ning: "Don't give in. If you like it, sister will make it tomorrow. You can go to sister's place to eat tomorrow afternoon."

Xia Kai said excitedly: "Sister, can I still drink this kind of porridge?"

Xia Ning: "Of course, sister will do more for you."

The worst she can do is pay Zhou Junmin some food expenses.

Xia Xue: "That's great."

At this moment, the door outside suddenly "squeaked".

Xia Xue was startled: "Sister, the old witch is here."

Xia Kai: "If she knew we had eaten something, would she force us to vomit it out?"

Xia Ning knew that these two little carrots were afraid of being bullied by Mrs. Xia, so she said: "Don't worry about it for now, go and pretend to sleep."

After hearing what their sister said, the two of them immediately climbed onto the bed, fell down and pretended to sleep.

Xia Ning put the bowl aside and found a piece of cloth to cover it.

At this time, Mrs. Xia had already arrived at the door. When she heard a sound inside, she immediately stood at the door and found someone standing there, which startled her.

After all, Xia Xue and Xia Kai are very short.

The man who appeared in the room was taller.

Hearing that Mrs. Xia was startled, Xia Ning asked: "Grandma, what did you do? How could you be so scared?"
