At the farm, Uncle Yonghui and the others started slaughtering chickens and sheep in preparation after receiving the news that Tian An and the others were coming.
At this time, as soon as you enter the farm, you can smell the aroma of rice, vegetables and meat.
Lixiang and her daughter in the carriage often went hungry before they arrived in the capital. After arriving in the capital, they went to the porridge shed set up by the court to get free porridge.
But this kind of porridge is mostly rice soup, and even a three-year-old child can count the rice grains in it. It can only ensure that they don’t starve to death.
Therefore, at this moment, the mother and daughter felt that the tempting aroma of the food was a fatal temptation.
The mother and daughter were afraid of being laughed at, so they endured it until they got off the bus. Lixiang then followed Tian An consciously.
Because there was no carriage to block the view, the aroma of the food was even stronger, and Tian An heard the sound of her subconsciously swallowing her saliva.
Tian An showed no reaction on his face, pretending he heard nothing. He turned around and told Xiangtao to take the mother and daughter to eat something first, and then wash up and change clothes.
Xiangtao obeyed the order and happily took Lixiang and her mother to the kitchen.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Xiangtao explained the reason to Uncle Yonghui's daughter-in-law, Aunt Li. Aunt Li greeted the mother and daughter warmly and then turned and walked into the kitchen.
He took out two large bowls and filled them with rice, then picked up some prepared dishes.
When she came out again, the two large bowls were already filled with meat, vegetables and rice.
Just now, when they only smelled the food, Lixiang and her daughter could barely bear it. But now, when the delicious food appeared in front of them, their eyes turned green, and they stared at Aunt Li like two hungry wolves as she put two bowls of food on the table.
The aroma of the food stimulated their taste buds and their mouths were watering. They could only subconsciously look at the food and swallow their saliva.
"You must be starving! Come and have something to fill your stomach first. There will be many more dishes when the meal starts later!" Aunt Li greeted the mother and daughter who were staring at the food in a daze with a smile, and pushed the food in front of them.
The two of them came back to their senses belatedly. Li Xiang Niang said awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. It's really been a long time since we've seen such a meal."
Before fleeing the famine, her husband was diligent and capable, and the mother and daughter could have a meal of meat from time to time to satisfy their cravings.
But since she came out, she often went hungry. When her husband was still alive, they could occasionally have a full meal, but since her husband passed away, the mother and daughter could not get enough to eat.
In the end, she was almost harmed by that black-hearted couple. When Lixiang's mother thought of her husband, tears welled up in her eyes again, and the delicious food in front of her no longer tasted good.
Lixiang didn't know what her mother was thinking. Seeing tears in her mother's eyes, she thought she was hungry, so she quickly pushed her bowl towards her and picked up the chopsticks to put the meat in her bowl into hers. "Mom, I can't finish it. Please help me eat some!"
Li Xiang's mother saw that her daughter was obviously very greedy, but still insisted on giving the meat to herself, and her tears welled up even more.
Lixiang could only put down her chopsticks and wipe her mother's tears, "Mom, don't cry! What's wrong with you?"
Fearing her daughter would worry, Li Xiang's mother quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then forced a smile and said, "Mom is happy. We won't have to go hungry anymore."
Aunt Li beside her also smiled and comforted her, "You are right, An An is a capable girl. We don't have to worry about going hungry in the future if we follow her."
"Aunt, is An An the young lady's name?" Lixiang looked at Aunt Li and asked.
"Yes! Just hearing that name makes me feel at ease. It's all thanks to her that we are where we are today."
I remember when we were fleeing, we relied entirely on An An and Yi Ming.
Oh! Yiming is An An's fiancé, and he's a very capable boy. He passed the imperial examination a few days ago. We're holding a banquet to celebrate his success."
As Aunt Li spoke, she thought of the time when Tian An and Zhao Yiming took them to escape famine.
"Did Miss An An also escape from the famine?" Li Xiangniang asked in surprise.
Shouldn't Miss be living comfortably in a noble mansion in the capital? Why are you fleeing from famine?
Everyone knew about the affairs of the Tian An family. There was nothing to hide, so Aunt Li just gave a brief account of them.
Then he sighed, "Thinking back to when our village was first hit by an earthquake and then a flood, many people died, our crops, houses, and fields were all destroyed, and we were also plagued by bandits.
An An was kind-hearted and distributed all the food from her home to the villagers.
Later, we discussed escaping to the capital with An An and the others.
I encountered many difficulties along the way and almost lost my life several times. I was really scared to death at that time and thought that my life was over.
I never thought that An An and Yi Ming would bring all of us to the capital safely and securely, and that we could live a life of plenty. I never could have imagined that at the time!"
As the mother and daughter listened to Aunt Li's story of Tian An and Zhao Yiming, their eyes sparkled with admiration. Li Xiangniang even thought to herself that her husband had finally found a way to help them find a good person.
This was the first time Xiangtao heard these things, and she listened very seriously, with great admiration for her young lady.
The mother and daughter listened to Aunt Li's words and unknowingly finished the two bowls of food.
Aunt Li found some clean clothes of her own for Lixiang's mother, and Xiangtao also contributed her newly-earned clothes that were newly distributed by the mansion to Lixiang, and then took the two of them to find a place to wash and freshen up.
Lixiang felt very bad when she knew that she had worn Xiangtao's new clothes, and she repeatedly promised that she would return them to her as soon as she had new clothes in the future.
Xiang Tao waved her hand carelessly, "It doesn't matter, we are all family, and everyone wears the same clothes."
After a simple wash and change of clothes, Xiangtao took Lixiang and her daughter to see Tian An.
Tian An thought about it and asked Li Xiangniang to go find Aunt Li first and help in the kitchen temporarily.
After Li Xiangniang got the work, she went to find Aunt Li without any delay. After finishing the work assigned to her diligently and quickly, she also took the initiative to help other people.
Although he is busy like a top, he still has a smile on his face and his eyes are full of hope for life.
As for the girl Lixiang, she was quite pleasing to her eyes, so she stayed by her side to serve her just like Xiangtao.
Nanny Xiao has always been attentive to Tian An. Knowing that she wanted to keep Lixiang by her side, she took her over immediately and had to train her personally before sending her over.
Tian An had no objection to this, "It's just that Madam will have to work hard again."
Madam Xiao shook her head. "It is my great honor to be able to take care of you."
When Lixiang learned that Nanny Xiao was going to train her personally, she was not afraid but relieved. She was afraid that she would make mistakes and hurt her benefactor. If someone trained her, she would make fewer mistakes.
