Chapter 259 Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng
Jiang Meng put down the bag in his hand and looked around like a newborn baby.
"This village doesn't look very wealthy, but our host is a very nice person. We should have a good life, right?"
The two of them worked in the same dental practice and had become familiar with each other for a long time.
Jiang Meng said to Jiang Cheng beside him.
"Let's take it one step at a time. No matter how hard the days are, they are over. There is nothing to be afraid of. I will sleep outside and you sleep inside. Put the package under the bed. When I am free, I will make a shelf and put the package on it to prevent it from being gnawed by mice."
There was nothing of value in the package.
It's just two sets of clothes.
Jiang Cheng was very receptive. He stuffed the package under the bed and lay directly on the wooden bed.
Don't be fooled by the rough workmanship.
But he lay down, very solid, with all four legs still intact.
"I don't know what to eat tonight. I'm starving. The dentist is so stingy. He only gives me one meal of brown rice porridge every day. I have to take it as a loss. I heard from the dentist that my master has a small food store in town. The food should be pretty good. As long as I can have two meals of brown rice porridge a day, I will be satisfied."
Jiang Meng swallowed his saliva.
He used to be in good shape, but during the time he worked in the dental clinic, he lost a lot of weight.
If there wasn't a water tank in front of him, he really wanted to take a picture.
I guess the flesh on his face has sunken in.
Jiang Meng felt that he had become so thin that he no longer looked like a human.
"What are you dreaming about? We are not bought by a wealthy family. We are lucky to have a bowl of brown rice porridge and a bowl of wild vegetable porridge a day. Besides, even if we go to a wealthy family, we may not be able to eat well. We are servants. Do you think you can be a master and have a full meal every day?"
Jiang Cheng never smiled.
He encountered so many problems and even lost everyone in his family.
His heart had long been hardened.
He doesn't care what he eats, as long as he can survive.
This is my parents' wish.
I hope he lives well.
"Tsk, can't I just daydream? Anyway, anywhere is better than staying in the dental clinic. At least I have a place to stay. Look, there's a bed. It's more comfortable than the straw in the dental clinic. Oh, I have been sleeping on straw for so many days, my back and waist are really sore."
The two leaned together.
We chatted for a while.
Sun Pingmei's voice came from the yard.
The two of them quickly got up, put on their shoes, and went to the Jiang family yard to prepare for dinner.
As soon as you cross the threshold.
They were both stunned.
There were four dishes on the table in front of me.
One dish is fried egg with leeks, one is chicken egg custard with scallion oil, and another one is stir-fried pork with salted vegetables and winter melon soup.
The food is abundant, so forget it.
All the bowls on the table were filled with rice.
It's still white polished rice.
The particles are distinct.
There was also an oil lamp in the middle of the table, and the flame sometimes slanted depending on the direction of the wind.
At this moment, the saliva in the mouths of the two people began to overflow.
My stomach also kept growling.
"Go wash your hands."
Sun Pingmei pointed to the basin next to the water tank.
They both walked over and washed their hands.
"The table is full, I've prepared the food for you, you and the children can sit on the stools and eat."
Sun Pingmei said again.
"good."
The two swallowed and forced themselves not to look at the food on the table.
They knew in their hearts that the food did not belong to them.
I don’t know whether to eat brown rice porridge or wild vegetable porridge tonight.
No matter what, as long as you can eat enough.
"Here, one bowl per person. If it's not enough, go get more. We have enough food at home, don't be shy."
Sun Pingmei and Zhu Yingqiu each held a large bowl and handed it to them.
It was taken from the kitchen.
Before the dishes were served, they were served separately.
The rice was soaked in the soup, and the dishes on top were still steaming, the aroma going straight into their noses.
A whole bowl.
When they were working at the dental clinic, they didn't even eat this much food in three days combined.
"Second Young Madam, is this for us to eat?"
Jiang Meng's eyes widened like copper bells, and he asked in disbelief.
"Look at your dumbfounded look. If it's not for you, then who is it for? Come and eat it quickly. Go, sit over there and eat."
Zhu Yingqiu felt that their life experiences were pitiful.
Plus, since we had just arrived at their house, we served a little more as a welcome.
"Here, there is meat and refined rice! I, I..."
Jiang Meng stuttered and couldn't speak.
Jiang Cheng was afraid that he would talk too much and make the host angry, so he pulled him to sit on a stool.
Jiang Fubao on the side had already started eating.
She scooped up a spoonful of rice mixed with egg custard and put it in her mouth, chewing.
The fragrant and smooth egg custard makes the rice moist and soft, and you can taste the fresh and salty juice when you take a bite. It is especially suitable for a three-year-old child like her.
"Hurry up and eat. If you don't, Dahua will come and snatch it away!"
They were still in a daze, their faces full of flattery and surprise.
Jiang Fubao threatened them.
"Young lady, who is Dahua?" Jiang Meng, who is a lively man, looked at her curiously.
"Oh, Fubao is talking about the old hen in the chicken coop in the backyard that eats the most. Among so many chickens, this one is the fattest. If it stops laying eggs one day, it will be covered with fat when used to make soup, which will be so delicious."
The foodie Jiang Tongtu smacked his lips.
I feel like the food in the bowl doesn’t smell good anymore.
Jiang Meng wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
He was drooling with greed.
He just looked up at the Jiang family and saw that they had already started eating.
He picked up the chopsticks and started moving quickly.
Jiang Cheng also picked up his chopsticks.
There was no sound of talking in the yard, which was rare.
Everyone was busy eating.
Half an hour later.
The oil lamp lit by the Jiang family has gone out.
Everyone washed up and went to bed, except Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng, who were sleeping in the new room, staring at the ceiling with their eyes wide open.
"Just now, we ate meat, right? We also ate refined rice, right? Am I dreaming? Why don't you pinch me ...
We actually eat the same food as the host family. It was the first time that I burped after eating so much meat and rice. Oh my god, if I had known that the food at the Jiang family was so good, I should have come directly here when I fled. Why did I have to take such a big detour and suffer so much? "
Jiang Meng shed two lines of tears.
boiling hot.
But his heart was not burning.
After this meal, no matter how the Jiang family treats him in the future, he will stay here until he grows old, even if his master drives him away, he will not leave.
"Oh, you really pinched me."
It took less than three seconds to make the decision.
Jiang Meng screamed in pain because of being pinched by Jiang Cheng.
Different from the hustle and bustle here.
At this moment, Jiang Fubao was already sleeping soundly.
In the small room, the only sound was her rhythmic breathing.
A new day has arrived with the crowing of roosters.
The Jiang family's ox cart moved forward under the guidance of the morning glow. When passing by the village entrance, it also picked up Jiang Zi Chong who had been waiting for a long time.
"Tsk, tsk, it would be nice if we had a bullock cart at home."
Not far behind.
Widow Liu said this with a sour tone.
"Mom, stop wasting time and go to Sunjia Village as soon as possible."
