After this incident, the Song brothers packed up the tent again...
Put all the important things in high places.
Dangerous items, such as bows and arrows and tools, should be placed out of the child's reach.
The abbot ordered his disciples to do the same.
Fishermen and fisherwomen followed suit.
Old Nine thought it must be because he laughed at Third Brother and Fifth Brother too loudly yesterday that it was his turn so quickly.
The reason is as follows...
Song Chengyuan, the ninth son, ate very slowly when he was a child, even though he had servants to wait on him while he ate...
The Minister did not want to keep them confined, so after he finished his meal, he and his wife left first, allowing the children to eat in peace.
But it is precisely because of this that, despite eating the same food, some people feel so full that they have indigestion, while others cry from hunger in the middle of the night.
Since they were all masters, the servants naturally dared not report on them.
Song Chengyuan was the type who dawdled over his meals.
The fifth brother chewed ten times before he finished one bite.
The brothers who ate quickly finished, but he still had more than half left.
Besides the fifth brother, the ninth brother also fought over the most food, and the tenth brother did too...
Gradually, Lao Jiu developed the habit of hiding food.
While my brothers were eating, I hid my favorite food in my sleeve.
They ate the rest slowly, leaving behind some food they didn't like in the first place, which was then divided up by the brothers...
I sneaked back to my room to savor my favorite food.
The brothers later praised him, saying, "How come Lao Jiu eats so fast now?"
He secretly gloated, thinking to himself, "Isn't it all because they forced me into this situation?"
On this day, some fishermen got up early and, taking advantage of the time to complain, caught a large net full of crabs and many shrimp.
The fisherwomen steamed the food in a separate pot. Since the abbot and his disciples couldn't eat it, they gave more to the Song family.
These past few days, everyone has felt tired, and when we eat good food, we feel embarrassed to overindulge.
One person ate some, then stopped eating.
Song Chenghou got up and distributed some to everyone, giving Wen Shishi a little extra of his own portion.
Wen Shishi, still a little confused, ate with her hands and mouth covered in oil, pointing at her older brother's bowl and saying, "Big brother, you eat!"
Song Chenghou patted her head, and everyone ate to their heart's content.
In the evening, the fourth brother came over to tease Wen Shishi, "Shishi, were the crabs delicious today?"
Wen Shishi nodded, "Delicious! The shrimp are big too, delicious!"
Song Chengliang smiled, "You like to eat?"
"I love it! It's so delicious!"
Song Chengliang pointed in the direction of the tent, "Fourth Brother hid a gift for you, why don't you go in and look for it?"
Wen Shishi's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mine? A gift from Fourth Brother?"
Song Chengliang nodded, "Let's go in and look for it!"
Wen Shishi hurriedly ran towards the tent, "Yay! I got a present! Fourth Brother gave me a present!"
Seeing her like this, Song Chengliang couldn't help but feel guilty. He realized he hadn't shown Shishi enough care after all the previous troubles...
She was so happy over just the smallest gesture...
How happy she would be every day if I did more?
Wen Shishi crawled into the tent and didn't come out for a long time. After a while, a loud "whoosh" was heard...
Then he poked his head out and asked incredulously, "Fourth Brother, is all of this mine?"
Song Chengliang was surprised. It was just a crab, which he had peeled open beforehand and placed on a plate. Was that a lot?
Without thinking too much, I readily replied, "Yes! They're all yours!"
"Hehe! Thanks, Fourth Brother!"
After Wen Shishi finished eating, she went to find her fourth brother to wipe her hands, and then she heard something behind her...
Old Nine leaped out of the tent flap in a rage, yelling, "Who?! Who ate my crab?!"
Wen Shishi was confused and turned to look at her fourth brother.
Song Chengliang comforted him, "It's alright! It was given by Fourth Brother, it was left by Fourth Brother, not by Ninth Brother!"
Don't be afraid!
