Jing Mo walked to the pot, opened the lid, and took out a piece of meat with chopsticks, "Wait for me to taste it."
Su Nian looked at it eagerly and almost said "Let me try it".
Although he didn't eat it, Su Nian saw it clearly.
The chicken was very tender, and the meat broke apart with a light pinch of Jing Mo's chopsticks.
Jing Mo took a bite, chewed it for a few times, and nodded, "The meat is cooked, although the soup is not yet cooked enough. If you want to eat it, you can have a bowl first."
Hearing this, Su Nian shook his head decisively, "Good food is never too late, I can wait."
We've waited for such a long time, there's no need to wait a little longer.
Since you are going to eat it, you must eat the most delicious one.
Jing Mo put the lid of the casserole back on and was about to talk to Su Nian when he heard someone knock on the door outside.
The iron door would make a loud noise if it was touched even slightly.
If someone knocks on the door hard, the sound will be even louder.
Hearing the voice, Su Nian and Jing Mo frowned at the same time and walked outside together.
Just by listening to the noise, the two people could be sure that the person who came was definitely not someone they knew.
They didn't know many people at the First Base, and the only one they had a good relationship with was Kong Jianming.
Whether Kong Jianming came himself or asked his subordinates to come, he would contact Jing Mo in advance and would not knock on the door so rudely.
Soon, the two men reached the gate.
Su Nian opened the door directly. The person who was knocking on the door outside did not expect the door to open suddenly, and rushed forward a few steps due to inertia.
Su Nian did not move away, but pushed back directly.
The person who rushed in was pushed directly out of the door and took several steps back before he could steady himself.
Before Su Nian had time to see clearly who that person was, he heard a little boy crying.
"Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the voice, Su Nian looked carefully.
The person she pushed out was the middle-aged lady she had seen several times before.
Standing next to the aunt, hugging her legs with his hands, and crying with his head tilted back, was a little boy of about six or seven years old.
The little boy was very thin, and because he was too thin, his head looked particularly big, like a big-headed doll.
Su Nian was staring at him, and he suddenly turned his head and stared at Su Nian with his eyes wide open, "Why did you push my grandma?"
Listening to the little boy's question, Su Nian raised his eyebrows, "I just prevented her from rushing into my yard."
To be honest, Su Nian didn't use much strength.
If she really used a lot of force, the old lady would probably crash directly into the wall in front of her.
The little boy really didn't listen to Su Nian's explanation. He looked at Su Nian with hatred, "You pushed my grandma. I saw it all."
Hearing him say this, Su Nian didn't explain any more and just shrugged.
What the little boy thinks is his business. She has said what she should say and will not explain too much.
Unexpectedly, the little boy continued, "You pushed my grandma, so you have to pay compensation! I know you are stewing chicken at home, you have to give the chicken to my grandma!"
The little boy said it as a matter of course, but Su Nian was stunned.
This kid is young, but he has such a big tone!
The aunt also spoke at this time. She changed her previous demeanor and showed a somewhat weak smile. She said to Su Nian embarrassedly, "Don't be angry. This child just feels sorry for me. He is young and ignorant, and he would make such a request. You don't have to take it to heart.
It's a pity for this child. He only had a few days of good life before he encountered this terrible end of the world. He has forgotten all the good days he had before. He doesn't know how long he hasn't eaten meat. It's because we, as parents, are incompetent that he misses meat so much..."
As the aunt spoke, her eyes turned red and she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
The aunt's move should be to retreat in order to advance, to play the victim and gain sympathy. In addition, there is a pitiful little boy next to her who is wholeheartedly protecting his grandmother. Under normal circumstances, she might really be able to achieve her goal.
It’s a pity that the people standing opposite the aunt now are none other than Su Nian and Jing Mo.
Su Nian and Jing Mo watched this scene without a trace of extra expression on their faces.
Su Nian nodded in agreement, "Since you know you have no ability, then work hard and try to earn some meat for your children as soon as possible!"
Hearing Su Nian's answer, the aunt was stunned for a moment, "Why are you——"
The aunt stopped talking halfway and changed her words, "It's not that we don't want to work hard, but the lives of ordinary people are too hard. It's good enough to have enough food and clothing, how can we earn money to make meat? Otherwise, you can give two pieces of meat, not much, just to satisfy the child's craving.
It doesn’t matter to us adults whether we eat it or not, but it’s a pity for the child, he has grown up so big and doesn’t even know what meat tastes like…”
When the aunt said this, tears started streaming down her cheeks.
She was crying so sadly.
Su Nian was also speechless when he saw this.
Why are there always people in this world who think that they can get things from others for free by crying and acting?
If it were really that easy, who would work hard?
Su Nian looked at the aunt expressionlessly, "I don't agree with what you said. It's your business if you don't want to eat. The old hen I worked hard to earn must all go into my stomach. I won't give even a sip of soup to unrelated people."
"You?!" The aunt's pupils trembled. "How can you be so selfish? You have such a big old hen, and you can stew a big pot with other things. My child just wants to have a few bites. What can you do even if you agree? How much can a child eat? You are so old, and you still fight with children for a bite of food. Do you have the nerve? They are the continuation of life, the hope of the future, and -"
"He's a stranger who wants to steal my meat." Su Nian interrupted the old lady coldly, "This is the continuation of your life and your hope for the future. It has nothing to do with me. If you keep nagging me here, don't blame me for being rude."
Su Nian was about to close the door, but the old lady took the little boy's hand and walked forward. Su Nian smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have electricity connected to the door. I forgot to open it before.
If you dare to knock on the door again and get shocked, don't blame me for not reminding you. Even if you ask me for medical treatment or compensation, I won't give you a penny."
After saying that, Su Nian closed the door forcefully and watched Jing Mo turn on the power switch on the door.
