"I can handle this matter by myself."

"Just wait a little longer. You must be hungry. I'll be right there."

When Ni'er and Niu Li heard their father's voice, they decided not to go to the kitchen anymore. If they went out, they would definitely be drenched and have to wash their hair.

It's better to stay here than to go back and forth like this. Since Dad has already prepared the meal, we can just wait to eat it. The brother and sister are usually busy in the kitchen at this time, so today is a rare day of leisure.

The third brother lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma of the stew hit him in the face. He could see the scented mist curling into his nose, and the hot air made him happy.

I took out a big basin and filled it with vegetables. The two children's appetites have increased a lot recently, so I have to cook more.

Only by eating more can you grow tall. Anyway, my family can afford it. We no longer have to go through the days of not having enough food to eat and tightening our belts every day.

The third brother cooked some corn rice, which was perfect to eat with the dishes, and each bowl was very full.

Looking at these full bowls, I couldn't help but think that if the old lady saw me, she would definitely snatch the bowls from me and eat most of the rice away.

I can even hear her voice in my ears, "Why do children eat so much? Their stomachs are bloated and they will eat more in the future. It's such a waste. If you want children to be safe, you should keep them from being hungry or cold. Not letting them eat too much and letting them freeze is for their own good."

This scene is still fresh in my memory. What the old lady often did was to put Ni'er and Niu Li's rice into Fugui and Manguan's bowls, while she said that she was being nice to Niu Li and Ni'er.

I don't know what I was thinking at the time, and I actually agreed with my mother's approach. Now I want to beat myself up. No matter how much I regret it, it will be of no use. I can only make sure the children eat well for every meal from now on.

The third child stood at the door and took a look at the heavy rain outside. He had never seen it rain like this since he was a child.

Seeing that her father was about to come out, Nier quickly took down the hanging bamboo hat and threw it directly to him, "Dad, catch it."

The hat spun a few times in the air and landed steadily in the hands of the third brother. He thought he would have to serve the dishes in the rain, but now the big problem was solved.

Holding a pot of stew, I used the lid to cover it, otherwise it would be filled with rainwater. It was freezing outside, so I had to tighten my clothes before going out.

The warmth coming from the hands holding the basin warms the heart and dispels the coldness in an instant.

It was just two steps and my clothes were soaked, but I just needed to change my clothes.

The dishes were placed on the table and the lid was opened. Niu Li and Ni'er first smelled the fragrance, a fresh scent of vegetables mixed with the rich aroma of meat. It must be that a lot of meat was added.

I stretched my neck to take a look, and sure enough, such a simple method made the smell so appetizing.

But the more I looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. It turned out that I had eaten this dish at my grandma's before. It was a variety of vegetables stewed together with a few pieces of meat the size of a little finger. Before everyone eats, they have to be picked out and put in the fortune bowl.

At that time, I was staring at the pieces of meat intently, smacking my lips, as if I could eat them, but my grandma hit me on the head with chopsticks.

"Don't stare at things that are not yours. You look useless. That's not for you to eat. It's not good for a girl to eat too much meat. The more you eat, the greedier you become. If you tell others about your greed, people will laugh at you."

He turned around and told Fugui to eat all the meat quickly.

Ni'er didn't understand at the time why among the children, only Fugui could eat meat. She obviously wanted to eat it too. Is it really wrong to be greedy?

Now I understand that the greedy girl is just an excuse for favoritism. But there is no shortage of meat, and we can eat it whenever we want. The family should still be living a life similar to before. No, it should be worse than before. It is really wise to split up the family.

In this pot, there are big chunks of meat, alternating between fat and lean. It is so satisfying to take a bite.

However, Ni'er doesn't like fatty meat very much. She will get sick of it after eating two bites. She prefers more lean meat. Niu Li is just the opposite. He likes fatty meat the most. One bite of it will make your mouth full of oil, which makes people feel very satisfied.

The third child wiped the water off his body with a cloth, showing his white teeth, and smiled at the children who were swallowing their saliva.

"You guys eat first, you don't have to wait for me, you must be starving."

Nier went to where her father usually kept his clothes, took out a set of dry clothes and put them nearby.

"We have to wait for Daddy to eat together. Why don't we wait for the cook to eat first? The meal tastes better when the family eats together."

The third brother smiled even more happily when he heard this and quickened the pace of changing his clothes.

"Okay, I'll change it quickly."

Each person has a bowl of corn rice, and these simple dishes are enjoyed by the whole family sitting together and eating.

Niu Li stuffed meat into his mouth one bite after another, breathing heavily from the heat.

Ni'er looked at her brother and couldn't help but smile.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Niulitang's Siha couldn't speak clearly, "I'm just hungry."

Yan Zi picked up a piece of meat, blew on it, and put it in Niu Li's bowl. She picked up another piece, blew on it, and put it in Ni'er's bowl.

"That's right. The weather is too cold. It's easy to get hungry. It's also a time for growth, so being hungry is a good thing. You two should eat more."

The brother and sister said in unison: "Mom, you eat too."

There were suddenly two more pieces of meat in Yan Zi's bowl.

The meat that the children picked up seemed to taste more delicious.

The room was warm. After eating the hot food, my body instantly felt warm. The cold wind and rain outside didn't seem to be a big deal.

The old lady's situation was more miserable. Her house was leaking all year round and she was shivering from the cold.

Fugui was lying on the kang next to Grandma, with his bare butt. He was in so much pain that he couldn't put on his pants. He had fallen asleep when the cold rain from the roof hit Fugui's butt.

The pain woke people up suddenly.

In a daze, I thought it was my daddy spanking my butt, until I woke up from the pain and realized it was the rain that was causing trouble.

She wanted to move to the side, but it hurt. Her grandmother couldn't help much and could only move her mouth. She finally calmed down. She had just closed her eyes for a while because she didn't want her ears to be tortured any further.

I could only grit my teeth and move to the side little by little. Every time I moved, I broke into a sweat in pain. I cursed my father in my heart and decided that I would treat him the same way when he got old.

Finally, they were about to succeed, and Fugui's eyes brightened.

"Whoo~"

I avoided the rain and was happy for myself in my heart, and I didn't wake up grandma, which was really amazing.

Just after a while of being happy, rain started leaking in the place that was obviously not leaking.

Fugui's butt was in trouble again. He looked for several places and none of them were satisfactory. Grandma's house leaked the least among all the houses. Was he going to spend the night like this?
