Chapter 57 The Broken Hairpin

"It's really delicious." Yu Xiaopang insisted, "This is called a money cake. Look, it's all sesame seeds. It smells so good."

Shen Jinxia still shook her head.

Yu Xiaopang was getting anxious and pressed closer and closer. In order to avoid her, Shen Jinxia backed away quickly.

Until she retreated under a big tree, there was nowhere to go.

Lingling went to pull Yu Xiaopang, "Xia Xia said she doesn't want to eat it anymore, get out of the way."

But she couldn't pull Yu Xiaopang at all.

Shen Jinxia looked at the thing that was handed to her mouth and turned her face away. Anyway, she would not eat it.

She exerted force on her head, and a small red doll hairpin on her hair fell to the ground.

Yu Xiaopang moved forward and stepped directly on it.

When Shen Jinxia saw this, her eyes widened and she yelled, "Yu Xiaopang, you stepped on my hairpin!"

Fang Xiaoluo was embroidering a cheongsam in the house. Through the window, she saw Shen Jinxia running back and going straight into the house.

She wondered, Shen Jinxia hadn't been out for long, how could she come back so soon?

She listened to the room and heard no movement. She wondered if the little girl had any secrets or something, so she didn't bother her. Anyway, Zheng Lanhua was at home.

When it was almost time, Fang Xiaoluo got up to cook.

She kneaded the dough first, then cut cabbage shreds, carrot shreds and white radish shreds for later use.

Fang Xiaoluo put shredded white radish and carrot together, sprinkled a little salt on them to marinate, and then rolled out the noodles.

The noodles were cut and the shredded radish was almost marinated.

She removed the excess water, then beat two eggs into the mixture and added some chopped green onions.

Before cooking the noodles, she fried the vegetable pancakes.

The red and white vegetable pancakes exuded a faint fragrance and looked very beautiful.

After all the vegetable pancakes were fried, Fang Xiaoluo began to fry the eggs. Five eggs were fried until they were golden yellow, and then she began to add water and boiled the water.

Fang Xiaoluo saw Zheng Lanhua coming in and she seemed to be preparing to cook as well.

She said directly, "I don't want to eat your dark dishes. I am now occupying the kitchen and you have no place to display your amazing skills. Besides, I have made too much food. If you don't eat it, you will definitely feed it to pigs or throw it away."

Zheng Lanhua didn't say a word, Fang Xiaoluo had finished speaking.

She looked at the good-looking shredded radish cakes. She had obviously made them before, but they were black when they came out. They

were obviously all shredded radish, why did Fang Xiaoluo's cakes turn out red and white, and have a bit of a burnt aroma from frying, while the color and taste of her cakes were wrong?

The radishes sometimes smelled foul.

Zheng Lanhua said nothing, looked around, sat on a small stool and refilled the stove with fire.

Then she cleaned the chopping board and other things.

During this time, Fang Xiaoluo took out five large bowls, added salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chopped green onions, and a little bit of pork fat to each bowl, then scooped a little noodle soup from the pot and blended these seasonings together. After

the hand-rolled noodles were cooked, Fang Xiaoluo scooped out the noodles and put them into five bowls, stirring them evenly to allow the noodles to fully absorb the soup.

The noodle soup in the pot continued to scald the shredded cabbage and put it into the noodles.

Afterwards, she added the remaining noodle soup to the five bowls of noodles and placed five fried eggs on top of the noodles.

The five bowls of light and refreshing soup noodles were ready.

Zheng Lanhua helped bring the noodle soup to the table, paired with red and white vegetable pancakes, it was a pretty good lunch.

Fang Xiaoluo went to call the two children to eat, Shen Haiping said nothing, washed his hands and sat down at the table obediently.

When Fang Xiaoluo went to call Shen Jinxia, ​​he found her sleeping alone on the bed, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tear marks on her cheeks.

Her little hand was still holding the little red hairpin she bought for her.

"Xia Xia." Fang Xiaoluo called her softly.

Shen Jinxia did not sleep well, she was very sad.

This was the first thing Fang Xiaoluo bought for her. This hairpin was so beautiful, she liked it so much. She always put it next to her pillow when she went to bed.

Not only did Yu Xiaopang step on the hairpin into the mud, he also broke it.

She was so sad, her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe.

She had never been so sad before when she had no food to eat.

When she heard Fang Xiaoluo calling her, she opened her eyes dazedly, and the tears hidden in her eyes flowed again.

Fang Xiaoluo sat down and hugged her in his arms, "Xia Xia, dear, tell me what happened, I will take care of it for you."

Shen Jinxia nestled in Fang Xiaoluo's arms, "Mom..."

After calling out "Mom", Shen Jinxia couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and they burst out, and her voice began to choke.

Fang Xiaoluo was also a little panicked. Was the child beaten by someone or what happened?

She began to blame herself, why didn't she come to ask when Shen Jinxia came back at first.

She looked at Shen Jinxia carefully, but found no injuries.

Shen Jinxia stretched out her little hand, and the broken red hairpin was spread out in her palm. The little baby's face was dirty and it was unrecognizable.

"Wuwuwu...Mom...The little baby is broken, she must be in so much pain." Shen Jinxia cried very sadly.

Fang Xiaoluo took the small hairpin and patted Shen Jinxia's back gently, "Xia Xia is sad because the hairpin is broken, right?"

Shen Jinxia nodded and sobbed, "This was given to me by my mother. I like it very much. I didn't protect it well. Mom, I'm so sad, so sad."

Fang Xiaoluo said, "It doesn't matter. We have worn it for several days. When I bought it the other day, there was a pink one, which was also very beautiful. This one is broken. I will take you out on the weekend. Let's buy a pair of pink ones, okay?"

Shen Jinxia raised her head, tears as big as beans still falling, "Mom, don't you blame me for not protecting it well? Are you going to buy me a new one?"

Fang Xiaoluo reached out to wipe her tears, "Our Xia Xia must have tried very hard to protect it, why should you blame her? If you like it, we will buy a new one, it's normal. You are my dear daughter, our Xia Xia is so sensible and well-behaved, a hairpin is nothing. Let's buy a hairpin and then a new skirt, I promised you last time. Let's buy a pair of beautiful new sandals, you know, our Xia Xia deserves the best things in the world."

Shen Jinxia has forgotten to cry, she doesn't quite understand this.

The stepmother told her before that she deserves nothing, she was born a loser.

She doesn't deserve anything good, even a whole nest has nothing to do with her, she only deserves things that others don't want, only the life of serving others.

"I can have the best thing, right?"
