Chapter 26 Good Cultivation, Inner Temperament
Then he brought out a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of him, and finally put a multi-grain steamed bun in his hand.
Gu Jin asked: "Is this enough to eat?"
An Mingji lowered his head and looked at the food in front of him. When he heard Gu Jin's question, he could no longer control his tears.
He choked out, "Enough, enough—"
When Gu Jin heard his unnatural voice, he understood his mood very well. For the past few years, the child had been looked down upon in the village. Not to mention having enough to eat, it was already good enough to have something to eat.
In her dream, she even saw him eating the bark of the trees on the back hill when he was so hungry.
That was an experience she had never seen after her death in her previous life, and it was truly heartbreaking.
Gu Jin sat next to An Mingji, touched his head, and said softly, "Eat. If it's not enough, there's more."
"Um."
An Mingji took a big bite of the mixed grain steamed bun. It was not like the rotten ones he had eaten before. It was very fragrant! The taste of grain spread in his mouth.
He picked up the cornmeal porridge on the table and brought it to his mouth. The hot porridge went into his stomach, making him feel warm.
Seeing that he had no hands free to peel the egg, Gu Jin picked up the egg and cracked it on the table, peeled off the egg skin skillfully, and put the smooth egg into An Mingji's bowl.
She didn't stop until she had peeled five eggs in a row.
Three of the eggs were given to An Mingji, and Gu Jin put the last two eggs in his own bowl.
If a person eats two eggs a day, he can absorb all the nutrients in the eggs, and there is no point in eating more.
Giving the child three pieces of food is just to fill his stomach and stop him from suffering from hunger.
After peeling the eggs, Gu Jin picked up her bowl of porridge and drank it with the eggs.
The two of them ate in silence. Even though An Mingji had been in a mess in recent years, he had good manners and ate quickly but not voraciously.
Gu Jin glanced at An Mingji beside him, with a complicated look in his eyes.
This child was born into a scholarly family, and her grandmother was a daughter of a wealthy family. Unfortunately, she did not have a good time. Anyone who lived in that time would have to go through class struggles.
After the family fell into poverty, An Mingji's grandmother married and moved to Qingshan Village.
After all, he was born into a wealthy family and had some family assets, so his life was much better than that of other families.
The two children born to Grandma An were quite smart, but the second child, An Mingji's father, was sickly and died in his thirties.
An Mingji's mother lost her husband and ran away without even giving up her child.
Little An Mingji was well taught by his grandmother An. He had something that other children did not have, that is, good upbringing and a refined temperament, which was cultivated from piles of books.
Even though the little wolf has been in a miserable and downtrodden state in recent years, his tough jade-like temperament is still there, though it has faded a little in him now.
Noticing Gu Jin's gaze, An Mingji looked back at her, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction.
Gu Jin smiled and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll take you to the village chief's house."
An Mingji didn't ask what they were going to do, just nodded and continued eating.
Outside the house, Du Aiqing had already discussed with the Gu family how to divide the wild boar.
Gu Jin had told them before that if it weren’t for Du Aiqing, the wild boar might have hurt someone and ran away.
So Mr. Gu said that the two families would split it in half.
Du Aiqing naturally refused, and just said that one-third of it was because his face was too big.
The final result was that Du Aiqing took one third of the wild boar. As for the silly roe deer, he did not take it, but took away a pheasant.
