Cultivating Immortals through the Ages

Chapter 21

Although it was the same porridge, it was much better than last night's.At least not all water.

Siyu smiled slightly, took the bowl from grandma, carefully skimmed off the floating shell with a spoon, and started to eat slowly.

The porridge with oatmeal is not as smooth and delicious as the pure rice porridge, and it makes your throat ache.

Siyu didn't want to eat this kind of porridge mixed with various coarse grains, but her family couldn't afford fine grains.

Not eating and being hungry, she remembered more and more how kind the elders of the Zhong family had been to her.Thinking about having the opportunity to repay them in the future.

Enduring the discomfort, Siyu finished the porridge in the bowl in one go, not even the pickles.

Although the busy farming season is over, it will take a few more days for the grain to be harvested. During this time, the men are also very fortunate.

Therefore, you have to eat good breakfast and lunch, at least you have to be able to eat dry food to withstand hunger.

After the dry rice was cooked, Cheng took some sausages brought back from Zhong's house and steamed them, picked some green peppers from the ground, cracked a few eggs and fried them on a plate.

Then cut half a wax gourd and braised it, and fried half a basket of green vegetables picked in the morning.

After the food was ready, Mrs. Cheng went to ask someone to eat.Because the uncle followed his aunt back to her mother's house to collect wheat and has not yet returned, only three children were called.

It was also today that Siyu really met her two cousins.

At the dinner table, Siyu saw her grandfather kept picking up food for her two cousins, but she didn't pick up a piece of food for her and her cousin.

It turned out that grandpa really favored sons over daughters, and it wasn't mother's casual complaint.

Even my father and mother would occasionally pick up two cousins, but not as many as grandpa.

Fortunately, her father knew to give her a dollar or two, otherwise Siyu would be really sad.

There is only one meat dish on the table, and there are only a few slices of fat in it, which is gone with one chopstick for each person, and she and her cousin are too small to reach.

But Siyu has her father to serve food, but Lu Jia does not.

So she didn't eat any meat, and Siyu put the two slices of sausage in her bowl, so she ate it.

Seeing Siyu's actions, grandma and father each took a piece of sausage for her and Lu Jia.

Siyu saw that her cousin had eaten meat, so she stopped caring about her and devoted herself to eating hard.Otherwise, she would be hungry again.

Because she saw that the rice in the pot was about to bottom out.

Although Siyu is still not full today, she is much better than hungry yesterday.

This meal satisfied everyone in the Lu family.

After eating, the two cousins ​​left the bowls and chopsticks and ran away, and grandpa and dad went back to the room to rest.There were only four women left on the table, two big and two young.

Grandma Cheng asked Zhang Min to rest, and he just stayed and put away the bowl.

Cousin Lu Jia has a good impression of this cousin who puts meat on her.After eating, I volunteered to take my cousin out to play.

Although Siyu was born here, because she did not grow up here, she is not familiar with the village, let alone a playmate.

I was about to follow my cousin to find her friends to play.

Seeing grandma carrying so many bowls and bowls alone, walking staggeringly to the kitchen to wash, Siyu felt a little sorry.

He wanted to step forward to help, but was driven away by his grandma.

Lu Jia dragged Siyu to the neighbor's house to find her friends to play, and she wanted to have enough fun while her mother was not at home.

Otherwise, she won't be able to play when her mother comes back.

Siyu followed Lu Jia to a house, only to hear her call out: "Aifeng!"

Then Siyu heard a crisp female voice responding from the room: "Hey!"

Soon, Siyu saw a little girl with two croissant braids coming out of the earthen hut.
