Chapter 9 Just eat big steamed buns every day
The more Jiang Nuanzhi listened, the more he frowned: "How much is Shu Xiu's silver?"
"Two liang, you've got it all." You lied to me, why are you asking now? The academy no longer allows my brother to go to school."
Jiang Nuanzhi narrowed his eyes: "Not only did I take your money, but I also asked you to pay me every day. Do they cook?”
“Are they all helpless?”
"You're not allowed to go today. Anyone who goes again will have their legs broken."
"Damn, that's too much."
Jiang Nuanzhi gritted his teeth angrily, how could he rush to fight? Are your children sent to be used as cattle or horses for other people?
What the hell is this? The more I listened, the more I wanted to slap myself twice.
After that, he clapped his fingers and said: "You said, our family has chickens and horses? Are they all in their house? Did I give him money to study?"
The memory of the original owner is like this. It can only be recalled when it is mentioned.
Li Xiaoer blinked twice and nodded subconsciously.
"Okay, I understand."
After that, he went back and filled the stove pit with a handful of firewood.
Sooner or later she will get it back!
Then I went out, took a deep breath to adjust my Qi, and practiced Baduanjin twice before the evil spirit was dissipated.
Ba Duan Jin is something she is accustomed to practicing, no matter whether it is cold or hot, she has never failed to practice it. Now that her body is too weak, she dare not not practice it.
After she finished practicing, she turned around and found that several children were staring at her, so she changed the subject rather embarrassedly.
“Ahem, children, you remember, our family can cut firewood, and the firewood they chop must be our family’s firewood. They can carry water, and the water they carry is our family’s water, and they can cook. It’s food for our family.”
“No one can control you, not even me.”
Jiang Nuanzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that the time was almost up, and waved to them: "Come in and eat."
Leave the three children behind and look at each other.
Li Baozhu was a little afraid to step forward and secretly pulled on his second brother's sleeve: "Second brother, is the bad woman crazy? She actually asked us to eat?"
Li Xiaoer thought about the bad woman's appearance just now and her abnormal behavior in the past two days, and his little brows furrowed.
“It’s okay to be crazy, but it’s not as bad as before.”
Li Junping's dark eyes were still wary. He glanced at his younger brothers and sisters who were eager to try, and warned in a low voice: "Be careful, don't eat what she gave you."
"But brother, we don't want to eat, and we don't have anything else. After eating, our money has been spent." Li Xiaoer said.
While talking, Gulu's voice suddenly came.
The two brothers subconsciously looked at Little Baozhu.
Little Baozhu covered her stomach, frowned and said pitifully: "Brother, I'm hungry,"
"Come in quickly, the buns will be cold later."
At this moment, Jiang Nuanzhi waved to them with a bowl in hand.
I haven’t seen the smell of meat for many days, and the smell of braised pork seems to have penetrated directly into my nose. The fragrant children's eyes were a little straight.
Li Xiaoer and Baozhu held hands and subconsciously approached the fragrant braised pork.
Li Junping wanted to stop his younger brothers and sisters, but he finally retracted his hand.
Yes, if she doesn't let her younger brothers and sisters eat her food, he will have no food.
Either starve to death or be poisoned by this bad woman.
If you think about it this way, it would be better to be a dead ghost. Besides, it doesn't necessarily have to be poisonous. After all, according to his observation, bad women don't have any money, and poison is quite expensive.
With a broken heart, he also sat down.
Jiang Nuanzhi placed four buns in the bowls of four people.
Then he placed the braised pork in the middle and said, "Don't even look at it, eat it quickly."
The child was obviously still worried and did not dare to take the food in front of him for a while.
Jiang Nuanzhi raised his eyebrows, then picked up the bun and took a big bite: "Not bad."
I don't know why, the filling of this bun is a bit fishy, but fortunately the skin is thin The filling is big, but it’s good quality and cheap.
Seeing that they were still moving their chopsticks, Jiang Nuanzhi picked up another piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth: "Eat it, don't worry, it's definitely not poisonous."
Secretly thinking about sitting down later when he has money. It tastes good, but the fishy meat is really not good to eat. In her previous life, she was a bit picky about food, and she wouldn't eat anything she didn't like or couldn't handle well. Now that she's wearing it, she doesn't have the right to choose. I finished eating bravely, suppressing the nausea that surged in my stomach. I was secretly thinking about going out today to see if I could make some money and buy some ingredients to make something delicious.
Li Xiaoer couldn't help but swallow his saliva early. After listening to Jiang Nuanzhi's words, he immediately reached out to grab the bun.
The bun was brought to his mouth, but his brother blocked it.
Li Junping snatched his brother's bun and took a bite.
Then he closed his eyes and regarded death as if he were home.
The fragrant meat juice flowed into his mouth, and for a moment he couldn't recover. It had been a long time since he had eaten meat, let alone such carefully wrapped buns. He felt warm in his stomach, and his whole body seemed to be warming up.
Seeing that there was no reaction for a long time, he safely gave the bun to his younger brother, and then took a bite of the bun in his sister's hand in the same way. After confirming that everything was fine, I gave it to my sister.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at it and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Is this the case that children from poor families become parents early? In her world, an eight-year-old child is only in first grade. It’s the age when I need to be picked up from school.
At this time, Li Junping finally picked up his bun and took a bite. After confirming that it was okay, he broke his bun in half and gave it to his younger brother and sister.
As for the two younger ones, Li Xiaoer and Li Baozhu, they had not eaten anything serious for many days. At this time, their eyes were already red and they were engrossed in eating steamed buns. He didn't seem to notice that his brother gave them his own.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Jiang Nuanzhi warned, and when he turned to look at Li Junping, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you hungry?"
He looked at the little boy's frostbite-covered hands again. The wounds were already cracked, and now there were bloodshot eyes, and he frowned unconsciously.
Li Junping raised his head and met Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes. Seeing her looking at his hands, he subconsciously put his chilblained hands behind his back, pursed his lips and said, "I'm not hungry, I'll go chop it off." It’s firewood.”
Jiang Nuanzhi took him, looked at his hand carefully, sighed, and stuffed a small bottle into him.
“This skin care oil can prevent frostbite cracks. You can boil some hot water later, wash your hands, and apply it evenly. I will buy you some ointment to treat frostbite later. It will be fine after a few days.”
Li Junping took the porcelain white ointment and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi without knowing why.
Jiang Nuanzhi stuffed him another steamed bun and said, "Eat this steamed bun."
Seeing him hesitate with the steamed bun, Jiang Nuanzhi said noncommittally: "If you eat the steamed bun, please help. I work, and I go out in the afternoon, and you stay at home to take care of your brothers and sisters, and our family’s belongings.”
After hearing what he said, Li Junping lowered his eyes and brought the steamed bun to his mouth.
The steamed buns at this time are so big that one is enough for the child to eat.
The two little guys each ate half of the buns, and their faces were full of satisfaction.
Li Xiaoer was still licking his fingers and couldn't help but look at his brother: "Brother, it would be great if I could eat big buns every day."
Li Baozhu nodded like he was pounding garlic: " Yeah, brother, the big buns are so delicious, even better than the meat made by daddy.”
Li Junping touched his sister's head and patted his brother's shoulder. He moved his lips several times but said nothing. He stood up to clear the table, but he couldn't help but look towards Jiang Nuanzhi.
If this woman really doesn’t need him to take care of the second young master’s family, then he might be able to earn a lot of money for his younger brothers and sisters, right?
Wang Mazi once said that people carrying goods at the ferry in the town could earn thirty cash a day. If he can go out to work and save more money, he can take the waiter to see his legs
