"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm leaving now."
"Wait a minute, I'll go clear a bowl, you take it back."
The village chief wondered if he had any extra bowls at home, and what if they weren't enough.
The village chief took the food and went to the kitchen. He came back not long after with the washed bowls.
Xiao Ce hurried back carrying an empty bamboo basket.
Lin Shuang took Xiao Wangshu and Xiao Nanxin and walked for a while before arriving at Li Dazhu's house.
Walked up and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? Don't you know I'm eating?" Niu Chunhua's voice came from the yard.
Two children are behind Lin Shuang.
As soon as Niu Chunhua opened the door, she saw Lin Shuang standing at the door with two little girls.
"Why are you here? What's the matter?" Anyway, Dazhu is at home, so he is not afraid of her. Her smug expression makes people want to hit her.
After a while, Li Dazhu came.
"Sister, what are you doing? Could it be that my Dabao is causing trouble again?"
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. I didn't cause any trouble. I was at home all afternoon." Li Dabao looked at Li Dazhu angrily.
"No, Brother Dazhu, you came here to help kill the pig today, and the meat you asked for is too little. So, I'll make some braised pork and spicy rabbit meat for you to try tonight."
"How can this be? Take it back and feed it to the children." Li Dazhu waved his hands embarrassedly.
"Just go ahead and have a meal as a family. Besides, it will be hard to find you if anything happens in the future."
"Thank you very much." Niu Chunhua took it directly from Lin Shuang's hand, opened it and saw that it looked delicious. The fragrance wafted out, it was really fragrant.
Suddenly, his expression changed when he looked at Lin Shuang. He never expected that this vicious woman who was even more vicious than me was actually a good cook. You could tell the food was delicious just by looking at it.
Lin Shuang understood and smiled awkwardly.
"Dad, Mom, it smells so good, I want to eat it." Li Dabao clamored to eat it as soon as he smelled the aroma.
Li Dazhu had no choice but to continue.
"Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome, Wangshu, Nanxin, let's go home."
The two immediately followed Lin Shuang.
I looked back and saw that Li Dabao's eating habits were really ugly.
The group returned home. Lin Shuang took out the braised pork and spicy rabbit meat that had been warmed up in advance from the pot, and also cooked some rice.
"Let's eat."
When the children heard this, they waved their hands happily, some took bowls and some took chopsticks.
Lin Shuang served the rice and poured the silver soup that she had prepared in advance into the pot. After a few stirs, it became rice crust soup.
All the food was served on the table.
None of the children dared to pick up their chopsticks first, and all looked at Lin Shuang in unison.
"Eat it."
Lin Shuang first picked up a piece of braised pork, which was fat but not greasy, and had a lingering fragrance in the mouth. It was melted after a sip, which was quite good. Then she tried the spicy rabbit meat, which was firm and tasted spicy.
The children's eyes lit up as they ate, and their chopstick movements became faster, as if they were fighting with someone.
Lin Shuang glanced at them, afraid that they would choke, and said, "Eat slowly, don't be anxious, there's still plenty."
When they heard this, their faces turned red with shame. Their embarrassing look was seen by their stepmother, so they all slowed down.
"Stepmother, what about Dad?" Xiao Ce thought that they were eating now, while his father lying in bed was still hungry, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, don't worry about him now. I'll cook some porridge for him later. He can't eat this now."
"Stepmother, there is nothing left at home. Where did the rice on your table come from?"
Xiao Jingyu shouted out his doubts.
Lin Shuang paused while picking up the meat. "You're just a kid, why bother with so many things? Just eat it."
"That's right." Xiao Jingyu didn't know what he was thinking, and then he agreed.
Xiao Ce understood after hearing this and knew that some things should not be said.
The people at the table had different thoughts. Xiao Yi, who was lying on the bed, showed no signs of waking up.
After dinner, when Lin Shuang was clearing the table, several children immediately snatched away the work in her hands.
"Stepmother, let me clean the table and the dishes." Xiao Ce felt that as the eldest brother, he should do more so that his stepmother would not get angry with his younger siblings.
"Stepmother, let me sweep the floor." Xiao Wangshu took the broom and went to sweep the floor.
Xiao Jingyu was preparing to go to the kitchen to cook porridge.
But Lin Shuang suddenly called him.
"Jingyu, where are you going?"
Xiao Jingyu raised his head and said angrily: "I'm going to make a bowl of porridge for my father."
"Wait a moment, I'll go." Lin Shuang frowned. It seemed that all the hard work today did not make Xiao Jingyu trust her much.
"You lied to me again. You just don't want to give my father food and let him starve to death." This thought suddenly popped up in Xiao Jingyu's mind.
Then the more he thought about it, the more he agreed, and he looked at Lin Shuang angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Lin Shuang was speechless. This child must be suffering from paranoia. These are the only things in his mind day after day.
"I'm not saying anything nonsense. That's what you think. You never care about my father's life or death. You never go to see him, and you don't even think about treating my father."
"Even if you're nice to us today, so what? You're probably just lying to us."
"You tried to strangle me this morning, but now you're like this. I suspect you're pretending. You're going to kill us at night when we're not on our guard, and then run away."
After hearing this, Xiao Wangshu was a little scared.
She suddenly remembered that her stepmother once pretended to be nice to her, then pushed her into the river, watched her drowning, and kept calling for help, but remained indifferent.
Immersed in his own memories, Xiao Wangshu's tears just flowed down. He squatted down, hugged his body, and huddled together.
Lin Shuang felt that Xiao Wangshu was in a very bad mood and seemed to be having a mental breakdown, so she wanted to hug her and comfort her.
"Don't touch me, don't touch me, you want to kill me, you want to kill me." Xiao Wangshu's face was covered with tears.
Lin Shuang did not take another step forward.
Xiao Ce, Xiao Jingyu, and Xiao Nanxin had never seen Xiao Wangshu like this before. They were very anxious and tried to get close to her and hold her hand.
Before he even touched her hand, Xiao Wangshu yelled, "Don't come over here." He looked determined to die with everyone.
"Okay, okay, we won't come over." Lin Shuang could only speak softly to calm Xiao Wangshu's spirit.
Xiao Ce and his companions were anxious but didn't know what to do.
This has never happened to my second sister.
While Lin Shuang was steadying Xiao Wangshu, he was also slowly approaching her.
I didn't expect that I would become the nightmare of this 7-year-old child, and I felt a little uncomfortable.
