Not long after, Wu Xiaotao came out and called them to go eat.
By this time, Wu Xiaowang had almost memorized the fifteen characters, so the two of them stopped studying there and went inside.
It's no wonder they couldn't resist; the aroma was just too irresistible.
Shen Hua never expected that Xie Sichen's wild game would taste even better than his previous dishes.
The table was small, just a square little table, but it could barely fit two large dishes, and the empty space in the middle could hold some small bowls.
The four of them sat down around the table and each received two steamed buns and half a dumpling.
The two siblings were so moved by the food in front of them that tears streamed down their faces, especially Wu Xiaotao, whose tears fell the most.
She has always been very strong, supporting her family and taking care of her younger brother, but in reality, she is just an eight-year-old girl.
But she had to endure so much, and she silently bore it all because there was no one to confide in. She couldn't add to her brother's burden. Since she was already in this state, she didn't want her brother to be like that. What she wanted was for her brother to grow up happily.
They were moved, but they still couldn't eat these things because they weren't meant for them.
So Wu Xiaotao cruelly pushed the food in front of her and her brother toward Shen Hua and the others, while the two of them ate the dark, thin porridge they had cooked.
They even looked like they were really enjoying themselves, because for them, being able to smell such delicious food and eat was already a blessing, and they wouldn't dare to ask for more.
"We cannot accept these."
Shen Hua: "We can't eat this much, it will spoil if we leave it. If you're not going to eat it, just throw it away!"
She never imagined that anyone could resist such delicious food; it tasted dozens of times better than yesterday's instant noodles.
Wu Xiaotao hesitated, because she was reluctant to throw it away, but if she ate it, they would owe them a great debt of gratitude that she could never repay.
"It won't spoil; you can eat it tonight or tomorrow."
She wanted to persuade Shen Hua to put the food away.
Shen Hua: "We'll have new food tomorrow, and there will be some tonight too."
After she finished speaking, she started eating, because Xie Sichen was already eating.
Wu Xiaowang couldn't resist picking up her bowl first, and then pushed her sister's bowl in front of her.
"Sister, eat. The young man is very kind. We will repay him properly in the future."
Wu Xiaotao held back the tears that were welling up in her eyes and replied with an "okay".
That's all they can do for now. Although they have accepted the food in the bowl, they no longer pick up the meat. The steamed buns and mantou are the best things they have ever eaten, except for the instant noodles from yesterday.
Seeing that they hadn't picked up any rabbit or chicken, Shen Hua piled a lot of meat into their bowls before eating it herself. She then piled more meat into their bowls after they finished eating.
"Eat more, there's plenty."
I'll eat a good meal this time, and then eat something light for dinner. That's how I'll manage for the next few days.
The most important thing right now is not to feed them well, but to solve the problem at its source. This place is rich in resources but poor in resources, so it's impossible for them to be living in such poverty. There must be some reason for it.
Why does something look so off to me? Don't they look like a family?
[It turns out I'm not the only one watching, and I'm not the only one who feels this way.]
[What's with the sweetness? No way, no one can tie our Xie-gege down, no one can, he belongs to us.]
[I don't know what they were watching the live stream for; they even noticed something was off just from having a meal together.]
[Yeah, if everyone acted like that, my brother and I would be sick of sweetness at home.]
[The ruthless one above.]
Xiao Wang seemed to really like rabbits. It was hard to tell if he simply liked them or thought rabbit meat was delicious. After finishing his meal and helping his sister wash the dishes, he ran out to build little burrows for the remaining rabbits.
Wu Xiaotao seems very busy? After washing the dishes, she started doing other things. Since finishing her meal, Shen Hua hasn't seen her stop to rest.
Because Wu Xiaowang's nest wasn't very good, she helped carry stones to build one. However, they had never built a nest for the rabbits before, so it wasn't very practical.
Shen Hua: "Rabbits can burrow, so when we build, we also need to lay stones on the ground so that they can't burrow. If you just surround it like this, it will burrow and run away."
He then demonstrated for them, telling them to find some smooth stones to pave the ground, then surround it from all sides, and then lay some dry grass on the stones, and build a small burrow inside, thus forming a rabbit burrow.
When the little rabbit first entered, it was unusually agitated because of the unfamiliar environment. It darted around and tried to dig holes in the ground, but since it was made of stone, it was of no use.
You can feed them grass, but there's hardly any grass in this.
Xiao Wang volunteered to carry the small cup out.
"Young man, please wait here for me for a moment. I will prepare some fragrant grass for them soon and make sure they are well-fed and plump."
Seeing him run away, Wu Xiaotao didn't say anything more. Instead, she told him to be careful and then continued doing her own thing.
"Xiao Tao, have you always raised Xiao Wang like this?"
Shen Hua was helping her from the side. For example, right now, she was weaving hemp rope with hay, and Shen Hua was helping her and chatting with her.
"Yes! Before, my uncle took care of us. But because we didn't get married and have children, he disappeared. So the two of us depended on each other for survival, relying on the village chief and the uncles and aunts in the village for help. At that time, Xiao Wang was only one and a half years old, and I was four and a half years old."
Chen Hua pondered for a moment, then continued to ask:
"Do you know why your uncle disappeared?"
Wu Xiaotao shook her head and said, "I don't know. I have a little memory of it. It was very late that day, and it was raining. My uncle went out in the rain, as if he was looking for something. He never came back. The village chief said that my uncle had left the village, but there are all sorts of rumors. But I believe that my uncle will come back."
What are you looking for? It's related to the village chief. Shen Hua felt that if she wanted to know more, she would have to talk to the village chief.
"Yes, your uncle loves you so much, he definitely didn't mean to leave. He will definitely come back to find you and reunite with you."
