Chapter 5 Pickled Cabbage and Pork Ribs



After He Linyuan finished speaking, Song Li understood.

In the original book, he was facing an important promotion. If the original owner had not committed suicide and harmed his two children, causing him to retire early, he would have been the youngest captain.

Now that she has come through to set the plot right, He Linyuan naturally returns to his original path.

"Okay, I will definitely take good care of them."

Song Li smiled and nodded, put the rice bowl on the table, and put bones in the bowls of the two children.

"Don't you have anything to ask?"

Song Li's reaction was too calm, which made He Linyuan uncomfortable.

In the past, whenever I heard that he was going to take the child away, I would make a huge fuss. Today was too abnormal.

The man's eyes seemed to have substance. Song Li raised her head, pursed her lips, and said solemnly, "I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past and hurt the two children. I also know what you think. You want to take the children with you to join the army. I promise. I also agree with your other ideas."

Even if divorced.

She didn't say everything in front of the child, but with He Linyuan's intelligence, he must have understood.

Sure enough, after Song Li finished speaking, the man's dark eyes trembled and stayed on her for a long time before moving away.

Did she really agree to a divorce?

Or is there some other conspiracy?

He Linyuan's face was gloomy, his mind was in turmoil. This woman had too many criminal records, and he couldn't believe it.

Song Li ignored him. Anyway, the words had been spoken. He could believe it or not. Although he had a good figure and she liked him very much, she didn't have to have him.

A three-legged frog is hard to find, but a two-legged man is rare?

It's just that she's a little uglier and shorter than him...

No, can’t think about it!

The priority now is not men, but eating meat.

Some meat cannot be eaten, but some meat is right at your fingertips.

Song Li shook off the confusion in her head, rolled up her sleeves, and picked up a big bone for herself.

Uncontaminated wild boar meat is so fragrant, and the sauerkraut just neutralizes the greasiness of the oil. Song Li almost cried after taking a bite. This is what people should eat. Even for this bite of food, she has to live well.

"Mom, the meat is delicious."

Qingqing held the bone that was bigger than her face, smiled with her eyes narrowed and her mouth puffed up like a little hamster.

This was the most delicious meat she had ever eaten.

Mom is really awesome!

"If it tastes good, eat more. There's plenty of meat today."

Song Li waved his hand with great generosity.

He Mingze originally wanted to be very stubborn and not touch the food made by Song Li, but after hearing his sister's words and smelling the fragrance of the big bones, his little hands unconsciously picked up the bones. By the time he reacted, the meat was already in his mouth.

Really...it's delicious.

He gnawed on the fragrant bone, his flushed little face buried in the bowl, not daring to let Song Li see his expression.

This woman will definitely laugh at him!

No matter how high the little guy's IQ is, he is just a four-year-old child. He seems arrogant, but he is actually so sensitive that it makes people feel distressed.

Song Li rubbed his head and put a piece of meat into his bowl, "Xiao Ze, eat more too."

He Mingze paused chewing, and his lowered eyes widened slightly.

Ozawa...

Shouldn't she call him a bastard?

Moreover, her palms were so warm, just like the mother in my dream.

The little guy's eyes were slightly red. He rarely avoided her. He hummed "hmm" in a muffled voice and buried his head deeper.

Qingqing was addicted to eating meat, her little feet were lifted up happily. After chewing a piece of bone, she saw that He Linyuan had not picked up his chopsticks yet, so she asked him in a baby voice.

"Dad, why don't you eat? Is it because Mom didn't get any for you?" As soon as she said this, the two people at the table looked at each other quickly.

Qingqing hadn't noticed yet and sighed like a little adult, "Mom, can you help Dad get a piece too?"

Compared to them, dad is the child.

Under Qingqing's earnest gaze, Song Li picked up a piece of bone and put it into He Linyuan's bowl. He Linyuan pursed his lips, his expression a little unnatural, "Thank you."

Because of what Song Li said just now, he could no longer maintain the coldness on his face.

It was the first time for a family of four to sit together for dinner. The table was so quiet that He Linyuan was somewhat uncomfortable.

But when he put the pickled cabbage and pork ribs in his mouth, he had no thoughts at all.

It’s not that He Linyuan hasn’t eaten delicious food before. On the contrary, he has eaten quite a lot, but no food has ever amazed him so much.

This... was really done by Song Li?

He Linyuan suddenly felt like he didn't recognize his wife anymore.

Song Li gave him too much shock today. Even someone as smart as He Linyuan was a little confused at this moment.

After dinner, He Linyuan took the initiative to clean up and He Mingze helped him wash the dishes.

The two stood by the sink. The little girl stepped on the bench, her body just reaching He Linyuan's chest. He lowered his head to wash the dishes and said in a muffled voice, "It would be great if she could always be like this."

He would be willing to do it even if he was beaten twice.

It goes without saying who He Mingze is referring to.

He Linyuan turned his head to look at Song Li who was washing her daughter's hair outside. Qingqing was making a fuss about wanting to play in the water, and she smiled and grabbed her hand.

The woman had a bright and charming smile, with half of her sleeves rolled up to reveal her fair and slender arm. That night, it was this arm that pressed against his chest, causing him to breathe heavily and force him to sink.

Just when Song Li was about to look over, He Linyuan hurriedly withdrew his gaze, his ears burning with heat.

"Um."

He also hoped that Song Li could always be like this, even if it was just pretending.

She doesn't want a divorce...and he doesn't have to.

At the same time, the people in the old Song family were also shocked by the pickled cabbage and pork ribs that Song Chenglin brought.

Zhang Xiu stared at his third son and asked, "Did your sister really do this? Are you telling a lie?"

Could her daughter have this skill?

Song Chenglin's noses were raised to the sky, and he was very proud. "What I saw with my own eyes, how could it be fake? Mom, you are just looking down on me. My little sister is so smart, there is nothing she can't do."

"Who are you calling a dog? You little bastard deserves to be punished!"

Zhang Xiu slapped him, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Her father, our little girl Li is really sensible now. She even said that she wants to work and honor us. I know that this girl is not loved in vain. Second and third brothers, you must love your sister more in the future. Your sister will remember it."

Song Chengcai and Song Chenglin nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Mom. We will definitely treat my little sister well."

"Tomorrow I'll send twenty of my saved eggs to your sister. Mingze and Qingqing have suffered so much, they need some nourishment. And your sister has lost a lot of weight recently."

As Zhang Xiu was muttering, Li Guizhi lowered her head and listened to her mother-in-law delivering something to her sister-in-law's house again. Her fingertips turned white as she gripped the chopsticks.

The three chickens at home only lay two eggs a day. I finally saved up twenty eggs, and you gave them all to my sister-in-law?

Li Guizhi felt aggrieved because other families favored their sons, but her mother-in-law favored her daughter.

But if you really love your daughter, why don’t you love their little flower too?

Doesn’t her daughter Xiaohua also not have the ability to eat eggs?

Li Guizhi looked at her thin daughter and her eyes turned red. For the first time, she felt that there was no hope in this life.

......

Song Li gave the two children a bath and washed their hair, and changed the quilt covers and sheets on the kang.

The original owner was not a particular person and who knows how long it had been since he had cleaned the place. There were spider webs on the kang cabinet.

There were also two children's clothes, which were tattered and the cotton was exposed.

In the past, when He Linyuan sent her an allowance, he would always ask her to buy clothes for the children, but every time the original owner received the money, she would run to the state-owned restaurant and forget all the instructions.

Even when He Linyuan couldn't bear to see the clothes he bought for the children, she would wait until they left and exchange the money for meat.

Thinking of what the original owner had done, Song Li felt bad, and it was no wonder that He Linyuan wanted to divorce her.

Just now when she was dressing the children, He Linyuan saw the two children's cotton-padded jackets, and his face, which had just relaxed, turned dark again.

Alas! She has to pay for the sins committed by the original owner.

After finishing the cleaning, looking at the impoverished house, Song Li silently remembered what to buy.

Cotton-padded jackets and quilts are necessary. The temperature in Heilongjiang Province is over 40 degrees below zero in winter. Even if the kang is heated, their tattered quilts cannot withstand it.

There are also clothes for the two children. She does have a lot of supplies in her space, but she has to find a suitable reason to take them out.

Fortunately, although it is a planned economy now, there are already people in the city doing business secretly. She plans to go and take a look tomorrow and pick out some inconspicuous soap fabrics in the space to sell for money.

It gets dark early in winter. In the evening, Song Li made hand-rolled noodles with the leftover broth from lunch, and the two children gulped down a big bowl of it.

After two meals, the hostility in He Mingze's eyes faded a lot.

It seems that both little ones are like her and are foodies.

However, if you want to eat well and live well, you must have money first. That night, Song Li was thinking about how to make money and had no embarrassment at all about sleeping in the same bed with a strange man.

However, He Linyuan couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, for fear that the woman would sneak into his bed again.

Until he heard the sound of steady breathing next to him, he didn't notice the scene he expected.

He Linyuan curled the corners of his lips in self-mockery. Perhaps this woman had really changed, and would stay away from him in the future as she said.

That's good.

He Linyuan thought about it and closed his eyes, but the slight stuffiness in his chest made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When Song Li woke up in the morning, there was no one next to her. There was a note under her pillow saying that He Linyuan had taken his two children to the city and left breakfast for her in the pot.

Song Li lifted the lid of the pot and saw two sweet potatoes and a bowl of corn porridge, still steaming, which meant they must have just left.

Song Li finished eating in a hurry, picked up a backpack and rushed to the city.
