At lunch time, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull.
No one spoke first.
The person sitting at the table just sat there obediently, and the person serving the dishes carried the bowls into the house without saying a word.
There were no delicious dishes on the table, just a plate of fried vegetables, a dish of mixed pickles, and a few large pancakes made of coarse grains on the side, which did not seem to arouse any appetite.
Although the Zhao family lost their land, their life was not that miserable.
At this time, Zhao Maizhou would often go hunting in the mountains. When he was lucky, he could bring back some game. Even if he didn't sell it, it would definitely be a problem for him to eat it himself to satisfy his cravings.
But the bad thing is that Chen Shuilian thinks about her beloved eldest son all the time, and will never forget him even if he is not at home.
Therefore, the game that was hunted could not be eaten, and had to be sold for money.
If her eldest son is short of money again, she can help him out in time.
After all, he was alone in the county, unfamiliar with the place and there would always be places where he would need money. As for the two sons left in the family, they were all watching over him, so he could just bear with the food.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this before, but now that she has come to her senses, she feels that what she did before was indeed outrageous and horrible. Isn't this just blind favoritism?
When she thought of this, her heart couldn't help but ache. They were obviously her sons, so why should the two little ones suffer and be wronged?
Chen Shuilian couldn't help but soften her eyes when she looked at Zhao Maizhou.
But Zhao Maizhou didn't know. When he saw his mother's eyes, he shuddered with fear.
Why is mother looking at him like that?
Could it be that he has been eating too much recently?
But the weather has been good recently, and he runs up the mountain every day, which uses up a lot of energy, so he always feels hungry if he eats less...
How about eating less later?
He looks scary when my mother looks at him like this...
Chen Shuilian didn't know that the child's thoughts had wandered off the track. She stared at the dishes on the table and said to Li Xiaoxing who was holding the bowl, "Xiaoxing, go get three more eggs and fry them in the kitchen."
"Okay, mom."
Their family could not eat eggs more than once a month because Chen Shuilian had to save them to sell for money.
Li Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment after hearing Chen Shuilian's instructions, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just responded quickly and turned into the kitchen.
She thought to herself: Mom just hit her head today, so it makes sense for her to eat an egg to replenish her body.
When Zhao Fengtian came back from the county to get medicine, all the dishes were ready.
The aroma of the fried eggs was so fragrant that he could smell it from a long distance away.
He took a deep breath of the aroma before entering the room. Ah, it had been a long time since he had eaten eggs. They smelled so good...
"Mom, I'm back."
