After leaving the Rouge Shop, Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo to the market to buy a fish. When they were about to buy pork, they found a stall next to them that was selling beef.
Beef was generally sold by the government, with farmers occasionally offering it. Many people simply looked at it, but rarely bought it, primarily because it was much more expensive than pork. Those who could afford it were wealthy families.
Bei Yutang bought five kilograms of beef and two kilograms of pig's trotters in one go.
When she thought about the days when she was on the mission, she realized that Xiao Zimo had been eating mainly vegetables and very little meat.
Bei Yutang thought that she could make some braised meat for him to eat.
The leftovers can be frozen in well water. Now that the weather is getting cooler, they won’t go bad even if you keep them for a day or two.
In the kitchen, Xiao Zimo squatted behind the stove, smelling the aroma wafting from the pot, his stomach rumbling uncontrollably. The little guy stared eagerly at the fragrant meat in the pot.
Bei Yutang heard his stomach rumbling, took a small piece of beef from the pot, cut it into slices, and served it to him.
Xiao Zimo looked at the bowl of meat in front of him, a light flashing in his dark eyes.
"Mom, eat it." Xiao Zimo put the first chopstick to her mouth.
Bei Yutang took a bite and couldn't help but touch him, "Eat it yourself."
Xiao Zimo nodded obediently.
The little guy sat behind the stove, holding a small bowl of beef, but he didn't eat it with much heart. From time to time, he looked at Bei Yutang, then at the beef in his hand. He really couldn't bear to eat it.
In the past, my mother would keep the bad food for herself, but now she always gives me the good food first.
His mother had really changed, become very unfamiliar, but he loved her very much, so much so that he was a little worried and anxious.
He was really scared, afraid that one day his mother would fall asleep and never wake up again.
He was afraid that the next time she woke up, everything now would be just a dream.
Bei Yutang noticed that something was wrong with him. He was holding a bowl of beef and staring at her blankly.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
Xiao Zimo immediately shook his head, "Delicious."
"Eat quickly, I can hear your stomach singing." Bei Yutang said jokingly.
Xiao Zimo ate the beef in small bites. The beef was cooked very well and tasted more delicious than anything he had ever tasted before.
This was his first time eating beef.
Even the village's big bear had only eaten it once.
When he told everyone about it at that time, it was so magical that everyone was envious.
He never dared to imagine that he would be able to eat it one day, but he didn’t expect that he would actually taste it. The taste was just as Big Bear said, very delicious, and he would never forget it after eating it.
Looking at the large amount of meat in the pot, Xiao Zimo had a guess in his mind, "Mom, are you going to be sick again?"
Bei Yutang was stunned. She didn't expect him to ask that.
The little guy is very sensitive and has already seen the signs.
When Bei Yutang met his bright, twinkling eyes, she felt reluctant to tell him. However, she had to.
"Um."
When Xiao Zimo heard this, his bright eyes dimmed slightly, "Mother, when will your illness be cured?"
This disease...
Bei Yutang didn't know when she would get better.
Perhaps, once she's avenged, she can finally rest. Or perhaps this cycle will continue, over and over again.
"It will be fine after a few years." Bei Yutang couldn't bear to let the little guy down, so he whispered.
