Chapter 99 The steamed bun slices make everyone fall in love with Xiao Hua, who had a tragic life ex

"Yes, people in the county eat like this. I have seen it before."

Duan Qingqiu said something casually, waved his long chopsticks, and cooked out a large plate in the blink of an eye.

I looked up and saw, oh, there were people standing outside the kitchen, all waiting for a taste.

Without waiting for it to be served on the table, everyone takes a piece in their hands and eats it.

She was willing to add oil, and the outer layer was fried with oil.

A little salt is added to the egg liquid, and the steamed bun itself has a slight wheat aroma and a unique sweetness from grain.

When you bite into it, it's salty, fragrant and soft, and can be used as a snack.

Both adults and children enjoyed it with their eyes shining brightly.

"Sister, this is so delicious!" Xiaodong stuffed the remaining half piece directly into his mouth and said vaguely, "If you make steamed buns this way, I can eat them every day... and I won't get tired of them for the rest of my life!"

Xiaoxia mercilessly dismantled her younger brother: "You said the same thing last time when we ate bean dregs cake."

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Breakfast consists of egg and steamed bun slices, scallion pancakes, and warm soy milk.

Ning Xiaomei had never seen so many delicious foods, and she waved her hands and said there was no need to prepare her own portion.

"You, you eat, I, I will give you my share..." Aniu persuaded with a stutter, but he was worried that he would say the wrong thing and make the other party unhappy, and he scratched his head and head anxiously for a while.

In the end, Duan Qingqiu slapped the table and said: "Eat everything. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work. Rather than just pushing around here, it is better to work harder later."

Ning Xiaomei then picked up a piece of pancake and took a bite.

It's fragrant and soft, just like the steamed bun slices, full of oil.

Take another sip of soy milk, it is pure, sweet and full of bean flavor.

She raised her hand to wipe the ends of her eyes, suddenly feeling like crying.

As Duan Qingqiu said, the portion of food was very large, and everyone was full after eating it.

After eating and drinking enough, my energy will rise. Even if the sky is gloomy, I feel full of energy.

Everyone was clearing away the dishes and the main room, when suddenly there was a soft sound amidst the patter of rain.

knock knock.

After everyone was quiet, Duan Qingqiu handed the plate to his sister, walked over and opened the door.

Outside the door, stood a skinny girl, wrapped in an oilcloth, holding a baby about half a year old in her arms. When he saw her, he immediately showed a frightened expression, turned around and wanted to run away.

"Little flower!"

Xiaoxia chased after him and said in surprise: "Why are you free to come here today?"

The girl glanced at Duan Qingqiu subconsciously, mumbling and not daring to speak.

"It's okay, this is my eldest sister, she made the bean dregs cake, and she also gave us the candied fruit we ate last time." Xiao Xia said hurriedly.

Xiaohua blinked, looking a little confused, as if she couldn't combine the woman in front of her with the image in her memory.

"Come in first, it's raining harder and harder outside." Duan Qingqiu smiled and waved.

Xiao Xia stepped forward and pushed her friend into the house affectionately: "Is your brother asleep? Why don't you leave it at home?"

Duan Qingqiu found a clean cloth and asked the girl to wipe the rain off her face, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Xiaohua looked at the woman's leaving figure and wanted to say thank you. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

She couldn't help but blush, disgusted with her own cowardice.

"It rained today, and my father took my mother and my eldest brother to the town... They said, let me stay and look after the house... take care of my second brother, I... I stayed alone, so I came Looking for you."

"Did they leave you anything to eat?"

The girl licked her chapped lips and lowered her head: "There is still some rice paste in the pot, I can do it myself..."

"That means nothing is left!" Xiao Xia slammed the table and said angrily, "That's too much! Even if you are an old scalper, you still have to eat! You do all the work in your family by yourself, but you don't even have enough to eat all year round. If you don't give them food, this man and woman are really like pigs and dogs——"

"Second sister."

Duan Qingqiu interrupted his sister's unbridled speech with a loud voice, put the food in his hand on the table, and then said softly: "Xiaohua, right? You are welcome to come to my house. Unfortunately, I just had breakfast, so there is only this If it’s enough, you can put it down first. If it’s not enough, I’ll ask Xiaoxia to roast corn for you later.”

"Enough, enough."

"Okay, then you eat slowly."

After a few words of warning, she pulled her sister out of the house.

"Even if the fight is unfair, don't insult other people's parents in front of them. This is not good."

"Then they are her parents!" Xiaoxia subconsciously muttered, and then lowered her voice quickly, "Xiaohua is very miserable. Her father died early, and her mother is very lazy and can't live alone. She soon took her with her. She remarried, and who knew that within two years, her own mother also fell into the river and drowned. Xiaohua was only six years old at that time."

"A six-year-old child is not too big or too small, but no one around her is willing to take over, so Xiaohua still follows her stepfather."

"Then her stepfather..."

"Do you think her stepfather is a good person?" Xiao Xia snorted, "That man is an alcoholic. He drinks heavily all day long because of his good family background. The reason why he didn't drive Xiao Hua away was just because he wanted to have a good wife. It’s just free labor to serve you!”

"Just serve me. At least I'll give you something to eat. Who knew that within a year, my stepfather married a woman who soon gave birth to a son. From then on, Xiaohua became the servant of their family of three. , wash and cook every day, wipe the table and mop the floor, and take care of the children. They are busy from morning to night, but they are not even given half a bowl of hot rice."

"She had no choice but to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and sweet potatoes to fill her stomach." Xiaoxia scratched the tip of her nose sheepishly, "Actually, she taught me how to dig sweet potatoes, otherwise our family wouldn't have done it before. She eats so many sweet potatoes, she’s pretty good, she’s even more capable than me.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Qingqiu was a little surprised.

It's rare to find a person who can be praised by his sister for his ability.

She looked into the main room through the half-open door.

I saw that the baby in the girl's arms had woken up, and was frowning and about to cry. The girl patted it twice slowly, then picked up a piece of steamed bun, dipped it in soy milk, soaked it until soft, and then put it into the baby's mouth. inside.

The child sucked the sweet steamed buns and stopped crying.

The girl smiled lightly and then slowly started eating.

He was also very careful when eating, as if he was waiting to put down the food at any time.

Duan Qingqiu sighed and said: "You can take more care of her, but it's better to take less care of other people's housework. After all, our abilities are limited, and our reputation is not justified."

Xiaoxia gradually calmed down and nodded: "I know."

There was a hint of loneliness hidden in his voice.

She rubbed the top of her sister's hair and prepared to go to work.

Unable to move inside the house, Ah Zhi and A Niu put two pieces of oilcloth together and pitched a tent in the yard, which was more than twice as big as the one on the stall.
