As the first rays of dawn appeared in the east, Ye Liang opened the door, stretched, yawned contentedly, and moved his arms and legs before heading to the four children's yard to see them.
The three senior sisters had already gotten up. The second senior sister and the youngest senior sister came together and started working in the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.
The eldest sister went to inspect the sect to prevent any damage caused by people or wild beasts last night.
The Bixian Sect is very large, but now there are only a few of them left. Many places are no longer inhabited, so they need to patrol frequently. Otherwise, they won't be able to find out in time if wild beasts enter or cause damage.
Only by conducting daily patrols can the sect's integrity be guaranteed.
When Ye Liang came to the children's yard, the children had all gotten up early.
They got up, but instead of running around, they stayed in their rooms waiting for someone to come and tell them what to do next.
When Ye Liang saw them, he smiled first, then waved his hand and called to them all, "Come here, wash your faces, and then get ready for breakfast!"
Ye Liang waved his hand, and the four children followed him over.
Although they still didn't speak, they were now much more familiar with Ye Liang and would unconsciously follow his instructions.
The four children were all very quiet, except when it was mealtime.
When the food was served, their eyes were fixed solely on it.
When Ye Liang announced that dinner was ready, they ate with their hands, just like last night, without using chopsticks. Even though Ye Liang had said that there would be plenty of food and they would be full, they still seemed worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat and were still eager to eat.
Ye Leng finished eating first.
He looked up and gazed at Ye Le's food.
Just as he was about to reach out and instinctively try to snatch Ye Le's food, he suddenly found himself unable to extend his hand.
Although he was cold, Ye Liang was right yesterday. When Ye Leng tried to snatch the little girl's food again today, he couldn't help but think of Ye Liang's words.
Just as Ye Leng was hesitating whether to continue to snatch food from Ye Le, Ye Le was already prepared to have her food taken by Ye Leng again, because she had already seen Ye Leng reaching for her food. However, at that moment, Ye Liang also reached out and handed Ye Leng a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a steamed bun.
If you give him food, Ye Leng won't have to go and snatch it anymore. What a simple yet very practical principle.
With food available, Ye Leng no longer needed to steal Ye Le's food.
Ye Le can finally eat in peace without worrying that someone will steal her food.
She can eat her meals without worrying about not having enough to eat and then feeling listless all day, like she's sickly.
Frequent hunger and malnutrition can have serious consequences.
Most people may not have a clear understanding of this.
However, Ye Le understood just how terrifying that was.
If you don't have enough to eat, you won't have any strength and won't want to move at all. Being alive is not much different from being dead.
That was a truly terrifying experience.
With Ye Leng having enough food, Ye Xing felt much more at ease. He no longer needed to worry about fighting with Ye Leng to prevent Ye Leng from stealing his sister's food.
Ye Xing wasn't timid, but he was still worried that he wouldn't be able to beat Ye Leng.
The two of them were wary of each other. Ye Xing was young, but he was capable of anything for his sister, which made Ye Leng somewhat wary.
Ye Leng was two years older than Ye Xing, taller, and stronger, which was why Ye Xing was wary of him.
That's how it is between two people; they have things they're wary of each other, and as long as it's not about fighting over food, they generally won't have a conflict.
Only when it comes to matters of life and death, like food, will two people be willing to risk their lives for each other.
Now that Ye Liang is making sure they have enough to eat, and Ye Leng isn't trying to steal their food, that's for the best, and everyone can live in peace.
Ye Le, Ye Xing, and Ye Ke hadn't finished their breakfast when Ye Liang gave them extra rice.
They were terrified of hunger before, and if we want to change them now, we can only go to extremes and make them eat until they're stuffed. They'll see food every day that they can't finish, and they'll gradually change their habit of fighting over food.
This kind of care did have some effect.
It's only the second day, and the children are already eating much slower.
Because the rice porridge, sweet potatoes, and steamed buns placed in front of them all had visibly large portions.
Having food in hand means you won't panic.
It will be somewhat better.
"Don't eat too much for breakfast. Just eat a little something for breakfast. We'll have wild boar meat for lunch. It'll be as filling as you want. If you eat too much now, you won't have room for any meat at lunchtime, and then it'll be too late to regret it." Ye Liang smiled, strategically influencing them little by little.
That won't be of any use now.
They would rather eat until they're stuffed and unable to eat at noon than face the possibility of not having enough food to eat at lunchtime.
This is only because they were terrified.
Ordinary bait and bait won't work.
However, it didn't work even once.
After two or three times, enough trust has been built up, and they have personally witnessed a life where they can eat meat whenever they want, and they will trust you.
They might change their ways then.
Ye Liang was very confident about this, and he would take things slowly.
After they finished eating breakfast, Ye Liang said to them, "Go play. Don't go too far."
The four of them obeyed and went downstairs.
Ye Xing even felt a little strange. Was Ye Liang no longer afraid that they would run away? And why didn't he let anyone keep an eye on them?
