Chapter 42 Two sisters who haven't eaten for a day
The two girls were very filial and would hide some food from time to time and secretly give it to him.
Although I was disappointed with the third sister, I just felt sorry for the two sisters.
Right at this moment.
Coo coo coo
Two long voices rang out at the same time.
The two sisters' faces suddenly turned red and they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Qi Man and Old Man Qi.
Qi Man's eyes fell on the two sisters and asked suspiciously, "You two haven't eaten yet?"
"Yeah." The eldest sister Qi Daya nodded timidly and explained, "I accidentally broke a bowl at home, and my mother punished us by not allowing us to eat for a day, so..."
Having said that, he didn't dare to respond.
Food is very precious now. My cousin just brought them out, and they can't beg for food in the middle of the night.
The third daughter of the Qi family is straightforward, but also the smartest one. Qi Man, who is good-tempered, stammered, "My elder sister and I are hungry, so we drink water to fill our stomachs. We have been like this all day, and we are really too hungry to bear it."
The two sisters had to get up from bed before dawn and prepare breakfast for the family. Then their younger brother would get up, and they would have to do laundry, chop wood, and clean the house. When it was time to go to work, they would have to drag their tired bodies to cook dinner after work.
Ever since they were old enough to understand, their lives have been repeating like this over and over again.
"What!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi was furious. He slammed his hand on the table with an extremely ugly expression: "The third brother actually didn't give you two food for a whole day! How can you bear this!"
I used to live in the old house and knew what kind of life the two sisters lived. Every time I said something, the third sister would retort me.
It’s getting more and more excessive now. Not feeding the two children for a whole day. How is this possible?
Even he, when he was young, would feel dizzy and hungry if he didn't eat for a day after working, not to mention his two children who were busy from morning to night.
"Grandpa, don't be angry! I'll go get them some food so they can fill their stomachs first." Qi Man quickly calmed down Grandpa Qi, then got up and went into the kitchen.
"Come here, both of you! Sit down and talk to grandpa. Manman will get you food." Old Master Qi waved to the two girls.
The two of them walked over obediently.
Qi Daya glanced at Qi Man's back and said guiltily, "Grandpa, did Erya and I cause trouble for you and your cousin?"
She knew the pressure of adding two mouths to feed in the family. Her grandfather already lived a tight life, and now with her cousin coming back, life must be even more difficult.
Although my cousin wears a different dress every day and must be pampered, now that she and Arya are involved, grandpa must be under a lot of pressure.
"What are you talking about? Even if there are a hundred of you, I can still support you."
Old Master Qi rubbed Qi Daya's head lovingly. The girl's hair was dry, yellow and rough, and her face was dark and thin. There was no flesh on her face. She was so skinny and bony that she was so hungry that only a bag of bones was left. It was really pitiful to see her.
Qi Man took out two bowls of white rice that had not yet cooled down from the kitchen, as well as some pickled radishes, and placed them on the table:
"There are only some leftovers at home. Eat a little bit first. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow morning!"
With the bright moonlight, the two could see the food on the table clearly.
Two bowls of white rice, each grain is crystal clear and plump, looking very tempting.
Since they were old enough to understand, the two sisters have only eaten white rice once, and it was cooked specially by their mother because she felt sorry for their younger brother. However, the quality was not as good as the two bowls in front of them. Being able to eat a bowl of white rice was a luxury, but they never thought that they could eat a big bowl here?
Qi Daya pushed the rice away in embarrassment: "Cousin, how can we eat white rice? Save it for grandpa. Erya and I can still cook it. Tomorrow morning, we can make some sweet potato porridge."
Erya looked at the two bowls of white rice on the table with eager eyes, her throat rolling up and down. After hearing what her elder sister said, she nodded obediently.
Qi Man's delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, and she pushed the white rice in front of Qi Daya: "Eat, Grandpa has already eaten. The rice is left overnight. It's hot, and the rice will easily go bad and make you sick. You can't give it to Grandpa. If you think the rice is cold, I'll make some more for you."
With her around, how could grandpa eat leftovers?
Qi Man has a big appetite and had finished the dinner she cooked tonight a long time ago. The two bowls of still warm white rice were obtained by her from the space.
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
"Hey, cousin, don't bother with that." Qi Daya quickly said, "I think this white rice is really precious. Erya and I don't deserve to eat it. It's better to leave it to you and grandpa."
Qi Man was silent, her eyes rolled around, and she turned and went into her room.
Qi Daya was a little anxious when she saw this, thinking that her cousin was angry because she and her younger sister didn't eat. She wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Mr. Qi:
"If Manman asks you to eat, then eat. Manman and I have already eaten. If you refuse again, I will be angry."
As he said this, he pretended to put his hands on his hips, blew his nose and glared.
After these two days of influence, Mr. Qi's ability to accept things has become stronger, and he doesn't feel bad as long as the food is in his stomach.
In the past, he would not be willing to eat the white rice and would save it for his grandson or granddaughter to come back.
These two kids have lived a hard life for more than 20 years, so what's wrong with them having a few bites of hot food?
Qi Daya pursed her lips and said in a weak tone: "Eat it."
The eldest sister spoke, and Erya quickly took one of the bowls of rice and wolfed it down.
The two hadn't eaten for a long time and didn't care about their image. They moved quickly, taking another bite before they had even swallowed the previous one.
Mr. Qi sat aside and watched, feeling a little distressed: "Eat slowly, don't choke!"
“Woo woo woo!”
As Erya was eating, she couldn't help crying out loud. She ate her rice while crying. This is the taste of white rice, fragrant and delicious.
The two sisters ate it with relish, even without the need for pickled radish. It was so delicious that they almost swallowed their tongues.
Looking at the appearance of the two sisters, Grandpa Qi wiped his tears with heartache. It was all because of them, as adults, who were incompetent and couldn't feed the children enough.
Qi Man happened to walk out of the room with four more boxes in her hands.
Seeing this, Qi Daya hurriedly pushed the empty bowl in front of her to Qi Man and looked at her eagerly:
"Cousin, don't be angry. Erya and I have finished our meal."
Upon hearing this, Qi Man tilted her head suspiciously, her eyes fell on the empty bowl, and she smiled sweetly:
"I'm not angry. I just went to the room to get some dried meat to eat with the meal. If you're not full, I have some bread here to fill your stomach."
As he said this, he placed the box in front of the two girls.
