Chapter 55: A big face and a big
appetite Fang Xiaoluo looked at the little girl rolling around there, and her heart suddenly softened.
She picked up Shen Jinxia and kissed her forehead, "Good girl."
Shen Jinxia's eyebrows curved, she was really happy.
Shen Haifeng helped Zheng Lanhua to harvest beans, holding a homework book in his hand, he stood at the door and watched Shen Jinxia act coquettishly in Fang Xiaoluo's arms.
He was stunned there, and at this moment he seemed to see the past.
His biological mother, holding his sister who couldn't speak yet, kissed her on the forehead and face.
But the mother who loved them left them, and the person who came in her place was a devil.
He didn't understand, even if their mother was gone, they were still their father's biological children, but why?
Why did everyone change because of that woman Wei Hongxia?
He didn't dare to think back to those dark days.
If it weren't for his uncle, now his father, they would still be living in hell.
His younger brother would probably be scared to death or abused to death. His
sister was so little, she had to work every day, and she had to go hungry and beaten.
Now, everything is different. He hoped that this was not a dream.
Shen Haifeng suddenly felt something sliding down his cheek, he quickly turned around and reached out to wipe it clean.
Then he took a deep breath, turned around and walked in, reached out to hug Shen Jinxia, "You go play first, I have something to ask mom."
Shen Jinxia jumped to the ground, "Okay."
After that, she jumped out.
Fang Xiaoluo looked Shen Haifeng up and down, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I... I don't know a few words."
Fang Xiaoluo looked at the words Shen Haifeng pointed to, told him what to read, and marked the pinyin next to it.
"Do you have a dictionary?"
Shen Haifeng shook his head, "No."
Fang Xiaoluo thought that she could go out on the weekend, return to Honghe Village to give her father a bottle of diluted spiritual spring water, and then go to Jiangcheng Bookstore to buy a dictionary for Shen Haifeng.
After she taught Shen Haifeng the pinyin again and taught him how to look up the dictionary, he would be able to recognize the words by himself.
Shen Haifeng returned to his room and sat down. He found that Fang Xiaoluo's handwriting was very beautiful.
The next morning, Fang Xiaoluo got up at dawn.
The air was very nice in the early morning of June.
She thought she was early enough, and when she went to the yard, she saw Zheng Lanhua had already started tending to the vegetables in the yard.
Seeing Fang Xiaoluo getting up so early, Zheng Lanhua casually said, "After you watered the vegetables that day, they looked much more energetic."
Fang Xiaoluo looked over, and with the morning sunshine, the yard was green, with crystal dew hanging on the green leaves, looking full of vitality.
She was delighted, the spiritual spring water was really good.
Fang Xiaoluo squatted down and deliberately said, "Maybe these vegetables think I look pretty and are afraid that I will outshine them, so they are competing to grow better."
Zheng Lanhua held it in for a long time, "You have a big face."
Fang Xiaoluo touched his cheek with a smile, "A big face means you can eat well and are blessed. I thought you were exaggerating me."
After that, Fang Xiaoluo took the firewood to make a fire.
Zheng Lanhua watched Fang Xiaoluo light the stove in the yard, then filled a pot with water, put it on top and started to boil water.
She didn't understand why Fang Xiaoluo got up so early, and didn't ask, still busy with her own things.
Fang Xiaoluo boiled the water, put some in the thermos, and kept some for washing her face and brushing her teeth.
After she got herself ready, she made three bowls of milk powder.
Seeing that the time was just right, Fang Xiaoluo woke up Shen Haifeng.
Shen Haifeng was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he felt someone pushing him and was startled.
When he saw that it was Fang Xiaoluo, he didn't understand what was going on for a while.
Fang Xiaoluo was afraid of waking up Shen Haiping, so he squatted down and whispered, "Study, bring your two test papers from yesterday over later."
Shen Haifeng suddenly remembered what he had promised Fang Xiaoluo yesterday.
After leaving Shen Haifeng's room, Fang Xiaoluo took out a bowl of milk powder and handed it to Zheng Lanhua, "If you accidentally add too much, this thing will go bad if it's left for more than two hours. The child can't drink it."
Zheng Lanhua looked at the bowl in her hand, and the aroma of milk went straight into her nose.
Although she lived with her son, she could afford milk powder, but she was used to being frugal, so she would not drink a single sip of this precious stuff, and of course she had to save it for her child.
She didn't believe what Fang Xiaoluo said about accidentally adding too much. Wasn't this specially made for her?
"Sister, what's that on your plate? It smells like milk powder."
Yao Chunlan, a neighbor, asked cheerfully while leaning on the fence with a broom in her hand.
Zheng Lanhua smiled and said, "Yes, it's milk powder. My daughter-in-law bought it for me."
Yao Chunlan praised, "This is a precious thing. Your family really married a good daughter-in-law."
Zheng Lanhua said, "But, my Xiaoluo, you give me all the good things. You tell me, we are so old, why do we drink this stuff? You let me drink it, saying it is nutritious."
As she said that, Zheng Lanhua picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was a little hot, full of milk flavor, mellow and smooth in the mouth, and sweet. I have to say, it is really delicious.
Yao Chunlan couldn't help swallowing her saliva. They couldn't bear to buy this thing.
Even if they bought it, they gave it to their grandson. How could they drink such an expensive thing?
"What else can I say? With the phoenix tree, there is no need to worry about not attracting the phoenix. Your captain Shen is a blessed man. You are also very blessed, sister." Yao Chunlan said with a smile.
Fang Xiaoluo sat in front of the desk by the window with the window open. She could hear clearly what Zheng Lanhua and Yao Chunlan said outside.
She couldn't help but smile and shook her head. This Zheng Lanhua said one thing and meant another every day.
When she turned around, Shen Haifeng had already walked over.
Fang Xiaoluo patted the stool beside her, "Sit down."
As soon as Shen Haifeng entered the room, he noticed a nice smell in the house. He sat down and saw a bowl of prepared milk powder on the table.
Fang Xiaoluo had bought milk powder and malted milk before, and his brother and sister would drink a bowl of it almost every day.
Fang Xiaoluo didn't tell him not to drink it, but he didn't want to bow his head first, so he definitely wouldn't drink it.
Although he thought it smelled so good every time his brother and sister drank it. It was impossible to say that he wasn't greedy.
Wei Hongxia had also drunk milk powder in the previous home, and he still remembered the taste vividly.
He only glanced at the bowl of milk powder and looked away.
"Mom, what are we learning now? Should we study these two test papers first?"
Fang Xiaoluo pushed the bowl of milk powder in front of him, "Drink this first."
Shen Haifeng raised his head, a little bit unbelieving, "Is this for me?"
Fang Xiaoluo nodded, "Of course, am I teasing you?"
Shen Haifeng reached out and picked up the bowl of milk, carefully brought it to his mouth and took a sip. It was full of sweetness and tasted really good.
