Chapter 350 The Taste of Hunger
Qiangzi in the house was already dying of hunger.
He didn't eat much Wo Wo Tou yesterday.
Nowadays, most families eat two meals a day.
The Zheng family only had their first meal at nine or ten o'clock, and Zheng Lianfeng locked up the food yesterday, so they didn't have any meal at ten o'clock today.
He was already short of oil and water, and he didn't eat anything yesterday, and he had no rice in the morning. Wasn't he almost fainted from hunger?
Having never experienced the feeling of being nearly dying of hunger, Qiangzi now has no backbone at all.
He would kowtow to anyone who could give him something to eat.
Zheng Lianfeng had already checked Qiangzi's situation when he came back.
He didn't feel anything about the fact that he was so hungry that he couldn't speak.
He had been hungry before during famines.
Zheng Lianfeng felt that the reason why Qiangzi dared to cause trouble was simply because he was spoiled.
Once he has suffered enough and knows how difficult life is, he will no longer waste time like this.
Qiangzi was lying on the bed, looking straight towards the kitchen.
Smelling the aroma of rice in the air, his eyes sparkled green.
However, his stomach was so hungry that it didn't even growl.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed like a year to Qiangzi.
I don't know how long it was, but Zheng Lianfeng finally appeared in the room.
He didn't waste any time, but moved the person to the wall and started ideological education before dinner.
Junzi and Huazi were inspired by the story of the child soldiers today, and were particularly willing to listen to their father's profound teachings.
Plus, they knew they had to memorize it, so they listened extra carefully.
This made Zheng Lianfeng feel very accomplished.
Qiangzi was already dizzy from hunger, so how could he hear what Zheng Lianfeng was saying?
Zheng Lianfeng ignored them. After giving them ideological education, the whole family gathered around the dining table again and prepared to eat.
What was placed in front of the three children was still a basin of black-faced crabs!
But Qiangzi no longer dared to complain about the black face irritating his throat.
He grabbed one in each hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate so quickly that he almost choked!
Although Junzi and Huazi were also hungry, they were not as hungry as Qiangzi.
Just eat the nest head one bite at a time.
There was a bowl of egg soup and a bowl of green vegetables on the table.
But the three of them remembered that they were being punished and did not dare to pinch the eggs.
Zheng Lianfeng picked up the spoon and poured a bowl of egg soup for Xiao Shitou and Dani.
When Yang Dongya saw the egg in Dani's bowl, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zheng Lianfeng ignored her and just told Dani to drink the soup and eat the egg.
Junzi and Huazi looked at Xiaoshitou and Dani with envy.
But they didn't dare to say anything and just gnawed the cookies in their hands silently.
Qiangzi's eyes were somewhat gloomy.
In the past, all the eggs in the family belonged to him, even Junzi and Huazi had to stand aside.
But now, seeing that his eggs were eaten by those two bastards, and he could only eat the eggs themselves, how could Qiangzi swallow this?
Zheng Lianfeng noticed his gaze and couldn't help but frowning.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he took the bowls from Junzi and Huazi and served each of them a bowl of soup and an egg.
"You two performed very well today. This bowl of eggs is a reward for you."
When they heard that Zheng Lianfeng wanted to reward them with egg soup, the brothers' eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Thank you, Dad!"
As the two brothers talked, they carefully picked up the bowl and took a sip of the egg soup.
The warm soup flowed down his throat into his body, and the soldier felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but sigh.
They used to drink egg soup often.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but today’s egg soup seems to be more delicious than ever before.
Qiangzi, who was standing next to them, looked at the two of them as if they were drinking some divine delicacy, and his eyes turned green.
But he wanted to save face, so he couldn't ask Zheng Lianfeng to give him egg soup.
Qiangzi's eyes fell on Yang Dongya, hoping that she would be more interesting and secretly hide a bowl for him.
But when he was cooking just now, Zheng Lianfeng was in the kitchen the whole time. How could Yang Dongya dare to do anything?
As soon as Qiangzi saw her guilty look, he knew there was no hope.
Suddenly, his already gloomy heart was filled with resentment.
Except for Qiangzi and Yangdongya, everyone else enjoyed the meal very much.
Qiangzi ate up all the two black-faced wolves that were allocated to him, and only then did he feel barely alive again.
Although he was not full, compared to how hungry he was in the morning, he felt like he was in heaven.
After this experience of being hungry, he no longer dared to be picky about food and complain that black-faced steamed buns were not tasty.
But just when Qiangzi thought that the hunger he felt in the morning would definitely be the last time in his life, he was dumbfounded at dinner time.
Yesterday Zheng Lianfeng asked them to repeat what he said yesterday.
At that time, Qiangzi didn't take it to heart, thinking that he couldn't do anything to him.
But now that he saw that he really asked them to carry him on his back, he realized that Zheng Lianfeng was serious.
Junzi and Huazi were both thinking about Zheng Lianfeng's words in their dreams last night.
Therefore, when Zheng Lianfeng asked them to repeat it, although the two spoke haltingly, they still expressed it completely.
"Very good, go and have dinner. Tonight everyone will be rewarded with a bowl of egg soup."
The two brothers were in high spirits and quickly reached the dining table.
Qiangzi was the only one left by the wall.
"Now it's your turn." Zheng Lianfeng didn't waste time talking to him and just let him carry it.
To be honest, Zheng Lianfeng felt that he had been tolerant enough towards this rebellious son.
Otherwise, he should be the first one to be carried on his back instead of following his older brothers.
But Qiangzi obviously didn't buy it and looked at him angrily.
"You did it on purpose, you wanted to make me hungry!"
Although he knew that this son was difficult to teach, Zheng Lianfeng still felt a little disappointed at this moment.
In the end, he was too lazy to talk to him.
"I'll give you three minutes. If you can't recite it, you won't have dinner tonight."
Qiangzi met his cold gaze, and his head, which had been blinded by anger, turned cold again.
Thinking of the warning he had given yesterday, he shut his mouth and didn't dare to do anything else.
But he didn't listen at all yesterday. Even though Junzi and Huazi recited it just now, how could he remember it in such a short time?
The more anxious he became, the more confused he became. After he stuttered a few sentences, his mind seemed to be in a knot and he couldn't think of the next words.
Time waits for no one, and three minutes passed quickly.
"If you can't recite it, you won't have any share of dinner tonight."
After Zheng Lianfeng finished speaking, he turned around and went to eat.
Qiangzi was left alone and looked like he was about to cry.
When he thought about how hungry he felt this morning, he couldn't help but shiver.
"I was wrong. I will memorize it carefully next time."
Qiangzi, who refused to admit his fault even after being beaten and sent to the hospital, finally lowered his head at this moment.
But Zheng Lianfeng didn't even raise his eyelids and just ate his meal quietly.
Where are we now?
Now that he had decided to correct him, he couldn't let him go lightly.
As usual, each of the four children at the table received a bowl of egg soup.
Xiao Shitou and Dani felt like they were dreaming these two days.
They can also eat meat and drink egg soup.
Junzi and Huazi were filled with pride because they received recognition from their father today.
Yang Dongya wanted to say something but stopped herself, looking a little anxious, but because Zheng Lianfeng was there, she dared not say anything.
