Looking at Jiang He, then at his brother in Feng Qingxue's arms, Guan Cheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He knew Jiang He was right, but he couldn't bear to leave these children.
Feng Qingxue felt extremely distressed. These children were like little animals huddled together for warmth. If one person was missing, a corner of warmth would be missing.
Guan Cheng was still kneeling on the ground, holding his head in his hands. The dilapidated temple fell into an eerie silence.
How quiet is it? You can hear the slightest sound if a pin drops on the ground.
In the end, it was the sound of Guan Cheng's hungry stomach that broke the silence.
"Guancheng, you must not have eaten anything." Zhang Erya quickly handed the half of her remaining steamed bun to Guancheng.
Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, "Er Ya, keep it for yourself, I have more here. Guan Cheng, the steamed buns are in the backpack, come and get them yourself, eat first, and when you are full, we can talk about the future!"
Guan Cheng loosened his hands, raised his head, and remained motionless.
"You are such a stubborn kid!" Feng Qingxue reached into the backpack with her free hand, took out a steamed bun and handed it to him, "Eat it, eat first. How can you take care of your brother when you are so hungry?"
"Thank you!" Guan Cheng had only eaten some wild vegetable soup in the past two days and had not eaten a single grain of rice. He was already starving to the point of seeing stars.
If he hadn't been worried about his younger brother, he would never have lived to find his biological mother and stepfather, and he would not have lived to return to the dilapidated temple after being beaten.
After eating half a steamed bun, Guan Cheng was full.
He carefully placed the remaining half of the steamed bun in the pocket of his tattered clothes.
Feng Qingxue handed over the kettle and said, "Drink some water."
"I'm not thirsty." Guan Cheng shook his head. He was already so thirsty that his mouth was smoking when he came back. He became even thirstier after eating the steamed corn bread. However, he was afraid of dirtying the kettle, so he planned to go to the river to scoop up some water to drink.
"Take it and drink it!" How could Feng Qingxue not understand his thoughts? She stuffed the kettle into his arms.
Guan Cheng's eyes turned red and he took two small sips from the kettle.
Feng Qingxue saw a few broken bowls in the dilapidated temple, so she asked Guan Cheng to wash a bowl with a small hole in it. She came back and poured water from the kettle into the bowl. She also took out half a white flour bun from the backpack, tore it into pieces, soaked it thoroughly, and fed it to Guan Yu, who had taken the medicine for some time.
A very hungry child, even if he is not awake, will swallow food in big gulps according to the body's needs.
In fact, eating porridge would be the best, but the current situation does not allow it.
Even the steamed white buns were enough to make everyone present envious, and they couldn't help but smack their lips.
They had only heard of white flour buns but had never seen them.
In a short while, Guan Yu had eaten up all the steamed buns. With food in his stomach, the cramps in his stomach and intestines were relieved. His brows relaxed and he slept more soundly.
Jiang He patted Guan Cheng's shoulder vigorously, "Guan Cheng, why are you hesitating? Don't hesitate anymore."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It can be seen that Feng Qingxue, who even gave out white flour buns, treated Guan Cheng and Guan Yu well from the bottom of her heart. In this era, many parents cannot do this. Jiang He envied Guan Cheng, but at the same time he was happy for Guan Cheng, happy that his good friend could finally have a normal family and no longer have to wander outside and live a life worse than pigs and dogs.
Guan Cheng looked back at him and whispered, "I can't bear to leave you, Jiang He. If I leave, you will be the only one left. Erya is a girl after all. Can you take care of the remaining children by yourself?"
"Isn't it just begging with everyone? I can take care of it!" Jiang He said nonchalantly.
