"Grandpa, don't go back yet. I've brought some food back. Let's have dinner first."

The old man had been waiting for him all night. Based on Qin Huai's understanding of them, he thought it was good enough that he could have a meal today. He couldn't bear to let his family go hungry while he himself was full.

Old Qin, however, did not even look at the food he brought back and said, "If you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Well, you can eat it yourself."

Because of the incident with Qin Fengying, the whole family began to doubt Qin Huai's moral character. One really cannot go astray. The old people and children thought he went out to steal things.

After stealing from people, he steals things again. It's outrageous.

Qin Huai had to explain it again and said that he would go to the chemical plant again tomorrow. Only then did they half believe it.

The old man sat down and said, "Starving to death is a small matter, but losing one's chastity is a big matter."

Qin Huai thought to himself, "As a man, why should I lose my chastity?" He could only laugh awkwardly but politely three times and asked Qin Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, are you starving?"

Before Qin Xiaomi could say anything, her stomach growled. Qin Huai said, "You don't have to say anything. I understand."

The girl scolded her sister, "Didn't you just drink a bowl of porridge at noon? Are you hungry again?"

At noon...it was still porridge, and probably another bowl of water. Qin Xiaomi had been reading for the whole afternoon, and children digest food quickly, so how could she hold on?

Qin Huai felt sorry for the thirteen-year-old girl. She was at a carefree age, but she had already shouldered the burden of supporting the whole family. The key point was that her values ​​were still very positive, yet she had to take care of Qin Huai, who was so much older than her.

It is true that children from poor families grow up early.

I also feel sorry for the eleven-year-old Qin Xiaomi. How did the two little sisters survive all these years when their grandmother didn't love them and their uncle didn't care about them?

He deliberately used a light tone to say, "Children are growing and get hungry easily. No matter whether they have eaten lunch or not, it's unreasonable for them to go hungry even though there's food at home. Girl, I've told you, I'll take care of this family from now on, so you don't have to worry about food."

When the girl heard her brother say this again, she looked at him in surprise, her eyes red. Old Man Qin said, "Girl, let your brother do whatever he wants."

After hearing what the old man said, the girl really stopped talking. Qin Huai stood up and said, "You all take a rest, I'll do it."

When the girl heard this, she couldn't help herself and said, "No, if you come to make such a small amount, it will be wasted in two days. Let me do it."

She is unusually stingy with food.

Old man Qin called out again, "Girl." Only then did she stand aside reluctantly.

Seeing her pouting, Qin Huai felt amused and said, "Okay, you light the fire first. We haven't eaten all day, so let's have a full meal tonight."

Hearing this, the girl knew that today was doomed. Qin Huai was spending money lavishly and was going to use up the family's food again.

He grabbed several handfuls of rice from the cloth bag. The girl looked at him with distressed eyes but did not try to stop him.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Brother, do you want to cook rice?"

"No, rice is not tasty without vegetables. I'm making rice soup. You haven't eaten well for a long time, and your stomachs are not healthy. You should eat more rice soup in the future to nourish yourself."

Qin Xiaomi said, "You want vegetables for rice? Brother, look how badly you cooked it."

The girl finally couldn't help but said, "If you leave it this old, it can be eaten for several meals."

But it was not over yet. Qin Huai covered the pot, took out a porcelain basin, picked up the bag and poured a lot of flour into it. The girl looked up at Old Man Qin, and seeing that he was silent, she did not dare to speak anymore.

You can't be a disgusting little girl.

She added water to the flour and stirred it until it became a soft dough. The rice soup pot began to smoke. She lifted the lid and the fragrant aroma of the rice soup wafted out. Qin Xiaomi breathed in ecstasy and said, "It smells so good."

"It smells good, it will smell even better later."

He pinched the dough into balls, patted them thinly with his palms, and stuck them to the edge of the pot.

Soon, the dough was ready and the pot was covered.

A few minutes later, the aroma of flatbreads and rice porridge reached everyone's noses. Goudan ran over from the shadows and asked flatteringly, "Uncle Qinhuai, what are you eating now?"

Although he is young, he knows who treats him best. He can only have food when Qin Huai is at home. If it is the girl or Qin Xiaomi, he will not get a single cent.

"Oh, it's Goudan. Uncle is making pancakes. They'll be ready soon and you can have one."

Sister Hong came over and said, "He has a sharp nose. He smells you cooking and runs over here. Don't give it to him if he's already eaten."

Qin Huai smiled and said, "The food from another pot is delicious. Children like to eat other people's food. What's the big deal?"

Another little boy came over from the darkness. Qin Xiaomi curled her lips. Qin Huai saw that it was Wu Huixiang's youngest son, about the same age as Goudan, named Tiedan. He stood far away and did not come over.

As he was talking, he thought the pancakes should be ready, so he opened the pan and took out two. The backs were golden brown, so he gave one to Goudan and the other to Tiedan, saying, "Eat slowly, both of you. Be careful of the heat."

Goudan took it and bit it. He gasped because of the burn, but he still couldn't bear to spit it out.

Tiedan came over with a long runny nose. He wiped it with his sleeve, took the pancake with his snotty hand, took a bite, and then ran into the shadows.

The girl said, "Brother, I think you have stirred up a hornet's nest." Qin Huai didn't understand what she meant and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

Sister Hong said, "This kid is very naughty. You can't spoil him. If he comes here every day, it will be terrible."

"How much can a child eat? I like dog eggs. Sister Hong, please don't say anything to him." He took off another one and placed it on the sorghum pot lid and said, "Xiao Mi, let it cool down before eating. Don't burn yourself."

Scrape off the rest of the dough, and the aroma of browned flour wafts into your nose.
