Qian Hong nodded vigorously, her eyes firm. "I called out, I really called out, but you were sleeping too soundly and didn't hear me at all."
Seeing his grandmother's confident expression, Mao Dan couldn't help but doubt himself.
Was I really sleeping too soundly?
That shouldn't be the case.
He had specifically told himself last night not to sleep too soundly and to get up early to take his sister to school, but how did he still oversleep?
It wasn't like this before!
I told myself tonight that I would definitely wake up the next day, right?
Seeing that the little guy still didn't believe her, Qian Hong immediately tried to persuade him again, saying, "He really did call out. If you don't believe me, you can ask your grandpa."
“He is my witness.”
Upon hearing that his grandmother had a witness, Mao Dan immediately believed it.
The silly child didn't even think to ask.
He sat there and let out a long sigh.
Ugh! It's all my fault for sleeping so soundly.
Thinking of his younger sister and aunt who had already left, as well as his uncle, Mao Dan felt even more sad.
Waaaaaah~
My sister must be very sad that she didn't see me.
Waaaaaah~
He is not a brother who keeps his promises.
Feeling deeply saddened, Mao Dan lowered his head and took a big bite of the egg.
"Hmm~"
Upon tasting the different flavors in his mouth, the bald egg's eyes lit up. Looking down in disbelief, it was indeed an egg, but this egg was so delicious!
He had never eaten such delicious eggs before.
Mao Dan looked at Qian Hong excitedly, "Grandma, what kind of egg is this? It smells so good! It tastes completely different from the eggs I've eaten before. It's so delicious!"
As he spoke, he took another big bite, and the fresh and fragrant taste instantly spread in his mouth. The aroma made the balut close his eyes and enjoy it.
He finished the egg in no time, and after finishing, he even licked his fingers.
what to do?
I want to eat more.
Mao Dan looked up at Qian Hong with expectant eyes, clearly wanting to eat another one.
The eggs were found by Qian Hong when she came back to clean the kitchen. They were in a pot, completely covered by the lid.
If she hadn't been so meticulous and cleaned every corner of the house, we wouldn't have discovered this pot of eggs.
At the time, Qian Hong looked at the strangely colored eggs in the pot and thought that Yu Yuehui had cooked them badly.
However, smelling the aroma wafting from the pot, she thought: even if the eggs are bad, it doesn't matter. I may not have any other skills, but I have a good stomach. Back when we were starving, I ate all sorts of things and I still survived.
It's just a bad egg, isn't it?
None of that matters.
I didn't expect that after peeling and eating one, I would find that this egg was incredibly delicious, even more fragrant than meat.
Qian Hong instantly realized that these weren't rotten eggs at all; her daughter had specially saved them for them.
As she ate, Qian Hong felt a warm glow in her heart, but her eyes stung with tears.
These eggs are so delicious! My silly daughter doesn't even know to save some for herself. Why does she have to save some for the old couple?
They have plenty of good food at home, but this girl is so simple-minded; she doesn't know to take such good food with her on the road.
Thinking about it more closely, these eggs are cooked so deliciously that they must have used a lot of good ingredients and precious seasonings to achieve this flavor.
Thinking of this, she felt sorry for her daughter who had spent so many nice things, but she couldn't help but complain that her daughter didn't know how to manage her money.
Even though he kept muttering to himself, his hands moved gently and carefully, picking up the eggs one by one and putting them away as if they were rare treasures.
She originally planned to give one to each family member, and save the rest for herself when she missed her daughter, as it was food her daughter had specially saved for her.
But looking into Mao Dan's clear, eager eyes, Qian Hong hesitated. In the end, she took out another egg from her bag and handed it to him, saying, "This is what your aunt left for us. There aren't many left."
Before his grandmother could finish speaking, Mao Dan wolfed down his eggs while vaguely assuring Qian Hong, "I know, Grandma, I definitely won't tell anyone."
Qian Hong smiled and patted his head, praising, "Our Maodan is the most sensible one."
After finishing the tea egg, the sensible little bald egg instantly shook off its previous sadness and ran out to play full of energy again.
After playing for a while, I remembered the delicious eggs again.
I started to feel sad again. My aunt had such delicious eggs, but she didn't think of him. Does that mean she doesn't like him anymore?
snort!
Then he doesn't like his aunt anymore either.
Turning around, I realized something was wrong. How could my aunt not like him? It must be freshly made food.
Yes, that's it!
After cheering himself up, Mao Dan became happy again.
Xie Yan's family was also eating tea eggs, but it wasn't Xie Yan's family eating them; it was Gu Bin's family.
Tongtong gets up late in the morning, even later than Chaochao, and doesn't have time to eat breakfast.
Zhang Linghui was worried that the child would need to eat on the way, so she carried a lot of food with her when she went out. However, Tongtong drinks a glass of milk every morning, which has become a habit.
She's crying for milk right now.
But they're still on the oxcart, out in the middle of nowhere, where are they going to get milk for her?
Tongtong couldn't get her milk, so she pouted and started whining.
In the dead of winter, on an oxcart, the crying, combined with the wind and the child's delicate skin, caused his face to crack.
The little guy cried even harder when someone saw his face.
As the eldest sister, Chaochao quickly went over to comfort her.
Tongtong always listened to Chaochao. After being comforted by Chaochao, she stopped crying, but she sat there silently shedding tears. Her pitiful little appearance made people's hearts ache.
Chaochao panicked. She looked helplessly at Yu Yuehui. Although she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong, she was still inexplicably scared. After all, Tongtong started crying like this as soon as she tried to comfort her. Her little face was full of helplessness.
Yu Yue quickly patted her reassuringly, "It's okay, Tongtong's crying has nothing to do with you, don't worry~"
Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she hadn't made her sister cry.
They stopped paying attention to Tongtong; she might not like a child who cried all the time.
They nestled directly in the moon's embrace to avoid the wind.
Yu Yue looked at the child that Zhang Linghui couldn't soothe no matter what she did, and felt a little worried. She rummaged through her small bag; Zhang Linghui had everything she had. Finally, she suddenly remembered the tea eggs Xie Yan was making, which Chaochao really liked. She had eaten three by herself after cooking them, so they must be very popular with children. So she took one out and asked softly, "Tongtong, would you like to try an egg?"
