Chapter 374 Guihua takes the opportunity to teach her younger siblings
"Liu Dabao, you are asking me for food now. I am your bread and butter. You should be more respectful when you speak to me in the future. Otherwise, I will feed my buns to dogs instead of giving them to you. Also, I want to see my younger brother appear clean at night, and my younger sister too. At least you should take a bath, right? Look at your hands? There are black handprints on the buns. How did you eat them?"
"What? There are steamed buns for dinner?" Liu Dabao's mind was completely on food, and he actively filtered out the other words Guihua said.
Guihua took out two more steamed buns from the oil-paper bag and gave one to Liu Shaoyao and Liu Erbao, then looked at Liu Dabao: "You didn't hear what I said, did you?"
"I heard you, I heard you, you're so nagging. Um, can you give me another steamed bun? I'm not full yet."
Liu Dabao responded randomly, his eyes fixed on the bag in Guihua's hand.
Guihua gave him all the rest, and there were still two left.
"Hurry up and eat, but you can't tell Chen that I sent you food, otherwise you won't be able to eat anything I send you in the future. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I know, I know." Liu Dabao took two steamed buns, one in each hand, and ate them with relish, taking a bite on the left and a bite on the right.
Liu Shaoyao didn't talk much. She lowered her head and started eating with big mouthfuls. Only Liu Erbao was a small person. He was so hungry that he had no strength left. He didn't know how many times he fell along the way. Guihua noticed that there were abrasions on the little guy's arms.
Guihua ignored Liu Dabao and Liu Shaoyao. She squatted down, took the steamed bun from Liu Erbao, put him sitting on her lap, and fed him the steamed bun crumbs bit by bit. The little guy was also very hungry. Before Guihua was ready to take a bite, his little mouth had already stretched out.
"Erbao, who am I? Do you know me?" Guihua asked while feeding Erbao and coaxing him.
Liu Erbao was only two years old. When Guihua was sold, he was only a few months old. He had no impression of Guihua at all. When Guihua asked questions, he looked at Guihua confusedly and then shook his head.
"I'm the eldest sister, remember? I'll make you some egg custard tonight, okay?"
Liu Erbao didn't know what egg custard was, but he nodded and said in a baby voice, "Okay—"
"Then call me sister?"
"Sister——" Liu Erbao was very well-behaved, but too thin. His face was not even as big as a palm, and he was so thin that only a pair of bright small eyes were left. Because Liu Laoer and Chen's eyes were not big, this child did not have a pair of big eyes either, but they were very bright and clear.
Guihua was touched by Liu Erbao's obedience. She gently touched his head and continued to feed him steamed buns bit by bit tenderly.
Liu Dabao was already full and was burping.
"Guihua, I'm full, so I'll go back first. When will you bring me dinner tonight? I can come and wait for it in advance." After Liu Dabao had his fill, he acted like a big boss and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
Guihuatou didn't even reply, "There's no room for you tonight."
"What? Why? You just said you would send us food in the evening. Did you lie to us?" Liu Dabao immediately refused to listen.
"Hmph, why should I send food to an ungrateful bastard? Even if I raise a dog, the dog knows to wag its tail at me and protect its owner. But I raise you just to let you deal with me?" After saying this, Guihua fed Liu Erbao another mouthful of steamed bun.
Liu Dabao opened his mouth but couldn't utter any rebuttal for a long time. After all, he was only six years old, and he was usually a bully at home. If you really wanted to reason with him, he couldn't say anything, so he was stumped by Guihua's question.
Liu Shaoyao held half a steamed bun in her arms, her eyes moving back and forth between Guihua and Liu Dabao, then she moved to Guihua's side in small steps and timidly called out, "Big sister, I will listen to you from now on. Can you bring me some food? I won't tell mom."
Guihua looked at her four-year-old sister in surprise. She didn't expect Shaoyao to be so smart. She smiled appreciatively and said, "Of course, as long as you do what I say in the future, I will definitely raise you well."
Liu Shaoyao quickly hugged her thigh and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely listen to you, sister. Whatever you say is what I will do."
Liu Dabao stared at Liu Shaoyao hatefully, as if she was a traitor, then turned his neck and left.
Guihua looked at Liu Dabao's back with a gradually cold gaze, but she did not call him back. She must marry this child, otherwise Shaoyao might be sold like her in the future. But how many good families like the Wan family are there?
"Sister - I'm full -" Liu Erbao patted his belly happily and said to Guihua with his head tilted up.
Seeing that there was still half a steamed bun left in her hand, Guihua gave it to Shaoyao.
Liu Erbao is small and cannot eat such a big steamed bun, and he is still growing, so he cannot eat only steamed buns. Besides, the weather is about to get cold with the clothes he is wearing, and the child is still bare-legged. What will he do when winter comes?
But Guihua didn't dare to make clothes for him openly, because otherwise Chen would find out and would definitely use Erbao to harass her in the future. She didn't want to have anything to do with Chen now.
Now we can only take one step at a time.
Guihua told Shaoyao and Liu Erbao again: "Do you two remember what your sister said? Don't tell your mother that I brought you food, otherwise you won't be able to eat in the future, understand?"
"Yes, I know. Sister, why don't you go home? Why do you want to live in someone else's house?" Liu Shaoyao asked.
"Because your mother is not my mother, and that home is not my home. Okay, take your brother back quickly. Take a shower and clean yourself up when you get home at night, so that others won't look down on you. We can be poor, but we can't be dirty." Guihua said earnestly and let the two little guys go back.
Liu Erbao took a step further and looked back, his eyes full of reluctance. He felt that this strange sister was so gentle, even better than his mother, and he was reluctant to go home.
After returning home, Guihua worked even harder because she wanted to use her labor to exchange for more delicious food for her younger brothers and sisters.
Little Fubao is accompanying Wan Ersao to relieve her boredom.
After lunch, it was time to take a nap, but Wan Ersao had slept all morning and was not very sleepy at the moment. Little Fubao was an energetic girl. She ran to her mother's room, climbed onto the kang, hugged Wan Ersao and talked about Osmanthus.
Only then did Wan Ersao realize that Guihua's brothers and sisters had no food to eat. She felt sad. Now everyone in the village had a fatter purse, but only Chen's family was still so poor. This was somewhat related to Chen herself. She kept this matter in her heart and did not say much to Xiao Fubao. She listened to her daughter chattering for a long time, and then suddenly fell silent.
Wan Ersao looked down and saw that the boy had fallen asleep.
