Chapter 11: Sharing



Dinner was ready. There were two tables, one big and one small. The children sat at the bottom table and the adults sat at the top table. A big pot of rice porridge, each person could get a wotou made of coarse grains. Today there was cabbage and meat, which tasted delicious and sweet, and a big plate of wild vegetables. As soon as the dishes were served, the children rushed to grab them.

The adults' table was better. Qi Wanfeng came over after the dishes were served. No one was allowed to pick up their chopsticks until Dad picked up the chopsticks. Qi Wanfeng sat down hesitantly, thinking that his husband and children were still in the house. He glanced at his mother and said to his father, "Father, Silang and An'an are in the house. I want to get some food and eat with them in the house."

"Well, go ahead." Cao Ashan paused as he picked up the chopsticks, nodded and said, "Si'er just woke up today, you can give him more meat."

There were only a few slices of meat in the pot, and they could be counted.

Chen Zhu was unhappy when she heard this, and her face suddenly became long. You three want to eat separately? But after hearing what he said, it was not good to refute him in front of the whole family, so she could only bear it.

"I don't know when this disease will be cured. If I just lie in bed, I need to be served delicious food every day. We don't have much meat to eat even if we work all day long. Now that I lie down, I can eat more meat." The second brother Wang Yan said pretentiously.

The second brother Cao Fuqiang pouted and agreed with his wife's words very much, "That's right. It costs money to see a doctor, buy medicine, and everything. I haven't seen meat for several days." The eldest brother Cao Fuqiang

is an honest man. He is not good at speaking and doesn't know what to say. He is a little angry when he sees his second brother talking like this. Compared with this second brother who likes to eat and does nothing, he still likes the fourth brother who has money to go home every month. It is clear which of these two brothers is good and which is bad after comparing them.

The eldest brother Chen Li was holding the bowl, his heart was filled with joy.

Now, even if he didn't need to say anything, someone had already said what he wanted to say. This second brother was not completely useless. On the contrary, if the fourth uncle was lying in bed half dead, they would still have to support him. To put it bluntly, it would be fine if he died like this, but if he stayed in bed, it would only affect their family's life. He had calculations in his mind.

Everyone sitting at the same table had different thoughts. Although they were a family, each family had their own plans and ideas.

Qi Wanfeng listened to those unpleasant words, silently filled a bowl with enough rice porridge for the three of them, and took three steamed buns, a little vegetable soup, and not much meat in it. After filling it, he said to his father, "Father, I'm going to go."

"Well, go ahead." Father Cao listened to those words, silently held the bowl, and said, "Eat."

Father Cao started, and then everyone started eating.

Chen Zhu looked at Qi Wanfeng who was leaving with the bowl, snorted, and looked unhappy. He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and said, "Eat it, it will be gone soon." He was uncomfortable in his heart. Father Cao glanced at

Chen Zhu beside him, and his eyes were a little disapproving.

The children at the table below were crying because they couldn't get any meat. The second eldest brother Wang Yan saw that the youngest was crying because he didn't get any meat, so he held him in front of him and comforted him. He gave the youngest a piece of meat in his bowl and he stopped crying.

The children at the table had grabbed the whole pot of cabbage and meat slices, leaving only a little vegetable juice. The adults' table still had some cabbage and meat slices. Father Cao waved his hand, and the eldest eldest brother Chen Li looked at her mother and then took some food in a big bowl and passed it over.
