Chapter 60: Half of your body is buried in the ground, why do you eat so much?
The old couple felt heavier in their hearts than a mountain. They didn't say a word the whole way. They didn't even dare to think about the braised pork. What they were worried about now was where to sleep at night?
When they were still dozens of meters away from the Luo family, a strong aroma of meat wafted over and drilled into the noses of the old couple like a bug.
"Whose family is stewing meat?"
Old Mrs. Luo's mouth was watering and her stomach became even hungrier.
"Where's our home?"
Erya said happily.
Old Mrs. Luo's eyes lit up. This damn girl must be exaggerating. If the house is destroyed, how can she stew meat?
and--
"Don't always talk about our family, our family. That's the Luo family. It has nothing to do with you."
Old Mrs. Luo reminded her not to forget her identity. The Luo family is the Luo family and has nothing to do with these two girls.
"knew."
Erya pursed her lips, spoke in a low voice, and lowered her head, looking very pitiful.
Luo Weian couldn't bear to watch it anymore and said unhappily, "Why are you talking to a kid about this?"
"Thirteen is not young."
Old Mrs. Luo snorted. When she was 13 years old, she was already taking care of the housework for the whole family and had to take care of her younger brothers and sisters.
Luo Weian was too lazy to argue with her, so he took out a pagoda candy from his pocket and asked Erya to eat it.
“It’s so sweet and delicious.”
Erya swallowed it in one gulp, enjoying it very much. She would be willing to take such delicious medicine every day.
"Even if it tastes good, you can't eat too much. Eat it again after a few days."
Luo Weian warned her.
"I know."
Erya agreed obediently.
As they were talking, they had already arrived home. The door was ajar. Old Mrs. Luo pushed it open impatiently. The aroma of meat became stronger. She swallowed several times and asked happily, "Xinxin, what kind of meat did you stew?"
"Mutton, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Luo Xinxin's tone was very gentle. She also felt guilty. She had completely forgotten about two such old living people. The old couple's presence was too low.
When the old couple heard that they had mutton to eat, the aches and pains in their bodies were relieved and they immediately drew water to wash their hands.
Luo Xinxin built a temporary stove in the house and burned the coal she had just bought today. She bought loose coal, so she had to mix the loess and coal together to make mud, and then roll it into coal cakes before burning.
Also, when burning, you should open the windows to keep the indoor air circulating, otherwise you will suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning, which can cause dementia in severe cases and death in mild cases.
Luo Xinxin also threw a few potatoes into the fire. The potatoes in the northwest are bigger than the sweet potatoes in the south, and taste better than the potatoes in the south. Even if they are boiled in water, they taste very good.
But she likes to eat roasted potatoes more. When cooking on the earthen stove in the countryside, potatoes are thrown in and roasted. It is the most delicious way to cook potatoes and they are very fragrant.
Daya had smelled the aroma of roasted potatoes a long time ago and her mouth was watering with greed. She and Erya had also roasted potatoes on the mountain, but they were not as fragrant as her sister's. The meat stewed by her sister was as fragrant as her mother's.
Although Daya was only two years old and her brain was not very sharp when her mother died, she still remembered the taste of her mother. At this moment, the taste in this memory overlapped with Luo Xinxin's stewed lamb.
Luo Xinxin used tongs to pick up the blackened roasted potatoes, put them on the ground to cool down, and said to Daya, "Eat them after they cool down."
Daya nodded vigorously and sat obediently by the stove, her eyes fixed on the meat bubbling in the pot.
After washing her hands, Mrs. Luo saw such a heartwarming scene and felt sad.
The damn girl was too nice to the two strangers, not distinguishing between close and unfamiliar people.
"Daya, you eat this candy."
Luo Weian took out the pagoda candy and handed it to Daya.
After Daya took it, she put it in her mouth without even looking at it, and swallowed it directly after chewing it into pieces.
"sweet."
She licked her lips and looked at Luo Weian with an unsatisfied look, wanting to eat another one.
"Eat it in a few days."
Luo Weian smiled good-naturedly and sat down to eat.
Luo Xinxin cooked a pot of rice. The white rice gave off an enticing rice aroma. The old couple took a few deep breaths and were so moved that they almost cried.
When they were in Shanghai, they ate rice for every meal and didn’t think rice was that delicious. But when they arrived at the farm, they couldn’t even eat a grain of rice. Only then did they realize the importance of rice.
"Xinxin, how much rice did you buy? How long will it last?"
Old Mrs. Luo asked with concern.
"I'll buy more after I finish eating. There are people growing rice here, and you can buy it if you have money."
Luo Xinxin scooped two large bowls of mutton soup for Da Ya and Er Ya. If she didn't scoop, the two sisters would definitely not scoop it themselves and would only eat white rice.
"Serve more after you finish eating. Eat it all, and there will be plenty of mutton in the future."
If the Sun family can't provide six sheep, this matter will not be resolved!
Old Lady Luo felt jealous and said sourly, "Don't these two girls have their own families? Are they relying on our family?"
Daya and Erya were concentrating on drinking the broth and ignored her words.
They only listen to their elder sister. If their elder sister tells them to live, they live. If their elder sister tells them to eat, they eat. If their elder sister tells them to do something, they do it.
"I let them live here. If you don't want to, you can move out by yourself."
Luo Xinxin was not polite at all. Supporting the old couple was the system's task, but raising Ya and Erya was her own wish.
She is not overly compassionate, nor is she a saint. She just sees her own shadow in Daya and Erya. In her childhood, she and her sisters struggled hard to survive.
The difference is that on her lonely journey, she met some kind people and received help from the government, so she was able to get into university and leave the mountains.
Almost all the people Daya and Erya met were bad people. In this era when people still had not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, even if there were kind-hearted people who wanted to help, they were powerless.
Since she has the ability, why not give her a hand?
Luo Xinxin has always believed that in a patriarchal society, women should help each other rather than engage in female competition.
She also felt that female competition was actually a game that the top men used to deliberately throw out a few baits in order to restrain and restrict women, letting the women fight to the death and get hurt, while they stood high and admired the game they created.
"There's no need to give them so much meat. A little broth is enough for the two girls. Eating them so well will only make them picky eaters."
Old Mrs. Luo looked sullen and muttered softly.
"Snap"
Luo Xinxin put down her chopsticks and said impatiently, "Half of your body is in the soil. Eating meat is a waste. You can't eat anything too greasy. I'll scoop you half a bowl of soup and add some boiled water. It's good to soak rice in the soup."
After that, she said to Erya, "Go get the kettle!"
Erya immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, ran to get the kettle, pulled out the cork, and was ready to pour it into Old Lady Luo's bowl at any time.
Old Mrs. Luo was so anxious that she quickly covered the mouth of the bowl with her hands and glared at Luo Xinxin. She didn't even dare to scold her, for fear that this damn girl would say something even more outrageous and send her to hell.
"Even so much meat can't fill your mouth. If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it."
Luo Weian was a little angry. It was a rare opportunity for him to enjoy such a sumptuous meal, but the old woman always made trouble, which made him feel upset.
"Whoever doesn't want to eat, I'll eat it!"
Old Mrs. Luo angrily stuffed a large piece of meat into her mouth. The meat had been stewed for a short time, so it was still a little tough when chewed. She chewed it with a bitter and resentful look on her face, chewing and chewing...
There was a loud bang.
Old Mrs. Luo bit into something hard and almost broke several of her teeth. She spat out the chewed meat, which contained a tooth.
She licked it with her tongue and found a big hole in her gum. Her shaky tooth finally fell out with the help of the mutton.
