After preparing dinner, she found an open, rough earthenware pot, filled the bottom with white rice and packed it tightly, and then layered thinly sliced sausage, scrambled eggs with chives, stewed cabbage with pork cracklings, and a large chicken leg on top.
Then, tightly wrap the opening with cotton cloth and place it in a bamboo basket that is also lined with a thin cotton quilt.
Eight meat buns were wrapped in oiled paper next to the bamboo basket.
She remembered that Zhao Di had eaten six meat buns in one go in her yard last time. This time the buns were bigger than last time, enough for her tonight and tomorrow morning's breakfast.
After everything was done, the top of the bamboo basket was also wrapped tightly with a thin cotton quilt.
This is similar to an insulated container, so it won't be cold when it's delivered.
When Fan Zhaodi saw the layers of cotton cloth that had been opened and the still-warm food handed to her, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
When they saw the food inside, they were even more shocked and didn't know what to do.
"Don't make a sound, eat quickly, I'll take it with me when you're done," Xinghui said in a low voice.
Fan Zhaodi knew she had to finish eating quickly, but while the other dishes were fine, she couldn't eat the chicken leg. "Second sister, I can't eat the chicken leg."
How could she eat a chicken leg?
Xinghui said softly, "Eat it, I chopped this especially for you."
My mother said we shouldn't make exceptions. A chicken only has two legs. There are so many of them. If we chop it up, everyone can have a piece. If we only chop up two legs, who will eat them?
It's good enough to have something to eat; what's there to be picky about?
Today's recruitment of a younger brother is a special case and will be treated specially.
Fan Zhaodi felt a lump in her throat.
She didn't dare to delay, ate her meal in big mouthfuls, and handed the bowl and chopsticks back.
He took the oil paper package, thanked her, and quickly ran to the kitchen.
Inside the room, shouts and curses rose and fell, but she was not afraid at all.
First, wrap the oil paper in the paper and hide it. Then, regulate your breathing and walk into the house.

Shuiqing's recent days have been no different from usual.
With several households in the village exchanging work for crops, all the potatoes in the fields have been planted.
In the days that followed, the families who switched to growing potatoes began working tirelessly day and night to cultivate the land.
Two days ago, people were still checking on the Fan family from time to time. But after that, everyone was busy planting potatoes or tilling the land in advance, and gradually forgot about it.
Only Xinghui returned with food and real-time updates to Zhaodi.
"I originally thought that my uncle and Dazhu would be able to get out of bed in two or three days, but after three days, although the previous symptoms have lessened, a new symptom of weakness in their legs has appeared."
"Grandma and Aunt's voices haven't improved at all, in fact, they've gotten worse! They used to be able to scold Zhaodi, but lately they've become so hoarse that it's hard to hear them speak."
“They always scold Zhao Di for not brewing the medicine properly, or for making mistakes in the process. The villagers say it’s because she’s lazy and doesn’t want to get out of bed, and because she keeps scolding people.”
“They forced Zhao Di to go to the Ding family to ask for medicine again, but they didn’t give her any money. They didn’t even mention the money for the medicine last time. This time, even though she was sober, they wouldn’t let her take anything with her. Zhao Di said her face turned red.”
However, Aunt Ding was truly kind-hearted. Seeing Zhao Di's pitiful state, she gave her seven doses of medicine instead of money, instructing them to brew them for them to drink.
......
As Shuiqing listened, she became almost certain that the medicine Aunt Ding gave was not the same as the medicine given to the family that had mushroom poisoning!
However, the family that had the mushroom poisoning immediately gave Aunt Ding a chicken and a duck.
After that, they brought cured fish and cured meat to my door to express their gratitude.
It's normal that paid herbs are different from free herbs, isn't it?
