Chapter 9 10. Meat Pain
After putting a chopsticks of food into the bowl for the old man, he didn't make a sound, and just ate the rice in his own bowl.

Liang Daidi hadn't eaten eggs for a long time, and she opened the foreign meat suddenly, and she couldn't stop the brakes. When she remembered that her old father hadn't eaten much, she had already eaten all the eggs on the plate.

Seeing how his daughter eats, the old man is also distressed, but he doesn't have the extra ability to help the child.

If you can eat as much as you can at home, eat as much as you can. When you go back, how can the delicious food reach your daughter's mouth, the old and the young at home, thinking about this, I can't help but sigh in my heart.

"Auntie, Grandpa, have you all eaten? Then I'll clean up the dishes."

Seeing that both of them had put down their bowls and chopsticks, Shui Lian swiftly removed the table.

I went to the kitchen and found a bag for Liang Daidi to put the remaining pancakes in.

Liang Daidi was still a little dissatisfied with this.

"Father, why don't you bring me some food back home, there are only two people in your family, and the food is not as heavy as ours..."

The old man sighed, "Okay, I'll scoop it up..."

Shui Lian saw that the old man scooped out about [-] catties of grain, and her heart twitched. There was only a bottom left in the noodle bag. I'm afraid it's not enough to drink porridge.

She sighed secretly in her heart, she really couldn't care about this matter, she was the old man's own daughter after all.

When Liang Daidi saw that the old man brought out the food for her, the face that had been stern all day finally had a smile on it.

"Father, this time your grandson and the others can finally have a full meal. I will let them think of you as a grandpa every day."

With everything in her hands, Liang Daidi didn't hesitate, she just carried the things on her back and left.

After seeing off his daughter, Liang Shouwang put his arms around Shui Lian's head and sighed, "Girl, we two will suffer for the rest of the day. Grandpa is fine, but it's because of you. To be honest, grandpa feels a little right." I can't stand you..."

Shui Lian smiled and got out of the old man's arms, "Grandpa, we are not afraid, there are still potatoes and cabbage, let's eat that, as long as we can eat it in the stomach, it is better than nothing, we are already very good , Didn’t we even eat the bark two years ago, now it’s much better than that time.”

Thinking of those two years, Shui Lian felt that she would never forget it in this life, the little suffering she suffered in the previous life was nothing, only when her hungry eyes gleamed, you would know what suffering is.

After eating, Liang Shouwang had to go back to the team to continue feeding the livestock. Throughout the year, the big guys depended on these cows and horses to work. This thing is more valuable than people, so Liang Shouwang is responsible for making food on time and according to order. Finer than people.

"Grandpa, let me go over with you to have a look, as it happens that I can cut hay for you."

Liang Shouwang liked the thoughtful little padded jacket of Shui Lian more and more the more he looked at it.
"Okay, let's go together. Grandpa will find you a scarf to wrap around. It's cold outside. Don't freeze my good granddaughter."

The grandfather and grandson walked out of the house hand in hand. Just halfway there, they saw Liang Shouwang's only younger brother. Liang Shoulin was coming this way with something in his hand.

"Brother, are you going to feed the animals?"

Liang Shouwang nodded, "Well, are you going to get firewood?"

Liang Shoulin chuckled, "Brother, getting firewood is the second priority. I want to go into the woods to trap some rabbits. I don't have much oil and water at home. I have to get some meat for the children."

Liang Shouwang looked at the gloomy sky, and said, "Shoulin, don't go inside. There are many wild animals in the mountains, so you just play tricks outside. Come back early and don't worry your family."

Liang Shoulin smiled and agreed, "Well, Shui Lian, take good care of your grandfather, and wait for the second master to set you a rabbit to eat."

Liang Shoulin was not as opposed to his eldest brother's adoption of Shui Lian as Liang Daidi and the others. He felt that his eldest brother's life was hard enough, and he looked down on his children.

One by one, it seemed that the old man owed them, so he didn't like to see these nephews and nieces, especially that nephew, after all, he was the only male in the family, but after marrying a daughter-in-law in the city, he didn't like it in his hometown I won't come back at all, at most I will send a letter to my family at the end of the year, and forget about the rest.

Shui Lian still likes this well-meaning second grandpa. After all, these days, when the family can’t fill their stomachs, Liang Shoulin is a bit delicious and still thinks about Liang Shouwang, the elder brother. Because she is also a beneficiary, and the old man treats her well.

He smiled and replied, "Understood Second Master, you should be careful too. I heard that there are wolves in the mountains. Listen to Grandpa and don't go inside."

The weather is cold, and the people in the village just stay at home for nothing. If they do less activities, they will consume less food and save food. In winter, every household will only have two meals.

The team was not far from their home, just a few steps away. When the old man saw the livestock, it was like seeing his relatives. He touched them one by one and changed them for fodder.

Shui Lian took a look, there was still a lot of uneaten food left in the trough.

"Grandpa, why don't they eat these?"

The old man sighed, "The livestock are similar to people, there are some they like to eat and some they don't like to eat, and the ones they don't like are naturally left over, so Grandpa has to replace them with freshly mixed fodder for every meal. Otherwise, it will be easy to lose weight in the spring, and it’s okay if you don’t have the strength to work, these are the treasures of our team.”

Shui Lian took a shovel to help the old man clean up the excrement from the barn to the outside. In her opinion, the houses where the animals in the team live are much better than those of some people.

At least the barn is a tile-roofed house, watertight and airtight, and there is a small room inside, which is specially used for making a stove. First, it can provide a place for those who take care of the animals, and second, it can also add more energy to the barn. Get some heat.

Water lotus also used to tidy up the house in Wu's house, and she didn't hate these fertilizers as much as before. In spring, the geographical crops can rely on these dung to manage their homes.

"Grandpa, what are you using the fallen feed for?"

Seeing Liang Shouwang pile up the remaining feed from the trough on the ground, Shui Lian was still curious about its next use.

"Hey, what can this be used for? The straw on it is used for fire, and the rest is composted."

Shui Lian went up to pick it up, there was leftover cornmeal in it, it would be a pity to throw it away.

Although not much, but this time can save a little bit.

Turning his head, he came up with an idea, "Grandpa, do you think we can sieve the rest through a sieve to get rid of the corn flour, so that we can eat it or feed it to the chickens?"
