Chapter 17: Go home and eat
After returning to the room, Shen Meng went directly to the space. She still had a severe headache. She found some medicine and some brain-nourishing food and ate some of it before she felt relieved.
From yesterday to now, her body was very sticky. Fortunately, Wang Guizhi wiped it off, otherwise it would definitely stink.
She put hot water in the bathroom and took a good bath. She used the specially bought bath towel to rub the mud vigorously. Country people rarely pay attention to hygiene. The mud on the original owner's body was rubbed off in strips. The disgusted Shen Meng almost vomited. She rubbed it twice and took a bath before stopping. When she untied the shower cap, her brows were wrinkled. If it weren't for the severe headache, she would have to scratch her hair.
She was helping herself to rub the ashes at home, while Lu Mingyang and several other children went to the hillside to collect pig grass. Although Lu Mingkai was young, he also worked hard to help his brothers and sisters. Because there were no tools, his little hands were tied with several red marks.
He pulled a few more handfuls of grass, and when he looked up, he saw his brothers and sisters working with their butts sticking out in front of him. He pouted, because the other children who were collecting pig grass had already gone home to eat, and no one called them here!
"Daqing, Erqing, hurry home to eat, the sun is hot, stop working."
"Here comes mother." Daqing put the grass in his hand into the frame and called to Lu Mingyang.
"Mingyang, why hasn't your grandma called you back for dinner? She didn't call you yesterday, and she didn't call you today either. How can the old lady be so cruel? I saw Yongqiang, Yongli and the others went back."
Lu Mingyang didn't even raise his head, still working.
"Hurry up and take Erqing back. Your mother is waiting for you. We'll go home later."
"Go home, what are you going to eat? Your grandmother looks so terrible, and your mother is such a bad character. Mingyang, why don't you take Mingliang and the others to my house for dinner? My mother won't say anything. She feels sorry for you when she sees that you have nothing to eat." Daqing
said and went to pull Mingyang. His grandmother and Liu Sanjin were sisters-in-law, so they were cousins. Although the food at home was not good, at least they could get by.
"No, I've been to your house several times this month. Look at your aunt, she's so sad that she's about to fall to the ground. Look at your mother being bullied. Let's go home. It's okay. Go quickly, go quickly."
Daqing led Erqing down the mountain, walked two steps and turned back, "You really don't want to go?"
"No, go back quickly, it's okay!"
After watching Daqing and Erqing leave, Lu Mingyang put away her smile. It was not right to say that she was smiling. She just pulled the corners of her mouth. If it weren't for Daqing's mother who often helped them, he would be indifferent to everyone.
"Brother, I'm hungry. When will our grandma come to call us?"
Lu Mingyang put the shovel in his hand on the ground and sat down on the ground.
"What are you calling? If you want to call us to eat, you would have called us a long time ago. Why wait until now? Brother, why don't you go home after paying the pig grass? I also hid three egg cakes of the bad woman. Let's share them."
Lu Mingkai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Mingliang with his teeth bared. He wanted to eat egg cakes.
Lu Mingfang picked up the shovel and pursed his lips and said, "Brother, I think mom may really get better. Grandpa and grandma talked about her this morning, and she is still sick. Let's go back. What if she really died? There is no one around. Our father will come back and ask what to do. I'm scared."
They are not children of the Lu family. If the bad woman really died, what will they do in the future? Although life with the bad woman is not good, the house to sleep in is still good, and you can eat some good food occasionally.
But it was different at grandma's house. Grandma would make people work, and the food was all watery. The steamed buns were made of black bean flour, which was very sore. Xiao Kai couldn't poop because of the black bean buns.
She didn't want to go to grandma's house for dinner. She was so hungry that her stomach hurt, and she didn't want to go.
Lu Mingyang looked at his brother and sister with eyes slightly drooping. After a while, he said loudly: "Let's go home."
"Hehe, okay, Auntie Tian and Grandma Chen brought back eggs yesterday. I saw that they were all placed in the kitchen cupboard by grandma. It's okay if you don't have enough cake. Let's go back and bake eggs. Anyway, the bad woman is lying in bed. I don't know how many eggs she took. There is also brown sugar. Let's go home and make brown sugar water for Mingfang. Little girls like to eat sweet things."
He swallowed hard while speaking. He also likes to eat sweet things, but if he can steal some, it's better to give it to his sister.
Lu Mingliang said a lot, and Lu Mingkai was drooling all the way.
He said a lot, but Lu Mingliang didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that grandma would not give them food. Even if she did, she would ask the second aunt to say a lot of sarcastic words before giving them food.
Grandma and the others never regarded him, Mingliang and Mingfang as members of the Lu family. Although they called him a treasure, they never gave them good things. It was nothing like how they treated Yongqiang and Yongli, who were fed with eggs and duck eggs. Even Mingkai, their own grandson, was not treated that way.
He didn't think that the bad woman would change, but grandpa and grandma had just passed away. Even if she wanted to act, she should do it for two days. She shouldn't be sad for these two days.
In the main hall of the old courtyard of the Lu family, the whole family was eating. Xie Jing picked up a bite of food and fed Xiao Gang. Then, looking at the silent family, she thought for a while and said, "It's so late. Should we go and call Mingyang and the others to come for dinner? And send some food to the eldest sister-in-law?"
"No, I don't see who dares. Humph, didn't that woman already share the food? You still want to eat the food here? You wish. And those encumbrances, don't give them any food at all."
Lu Jiahe said angrily, opening his mouth and biting a few scallions.
When he said these words, Liu Sanjin didn't even raise his eyelids. It seemed that he had the same idea. Xie Jing frowned tightly.
"My eldest sister-in-law is still injured, and the children can't cook. If something really happens, it will be difficult for my eldest brother to explain when he comes back."
"Well, that's a nice thing to say. Then why don't you save your own food and give it to my eldest sister-in-law and the others?" Wu Xianglan rolled her eyes. She's
pretending to be a good person here, as if she's the only kind person.
"Mom, what the third sister-in-law said is right. The eldest sister-in-law still has a wound on her head, and the children are not close to her. It will be difficult to explain if something really happens. How about we send some food over? I, I won't eat. It will be okay to save food!" "
What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't eat much yesterday. If you don't eat today, how can your body bear it? Don't say such things. I'll save food." Lu Jiaxuan put down the bowl and stood up to get the Wo Wo Tou.
Seeing that his youngest son didn't want to eat, Liu Sanjin hurriedly said, "You are not allowed to go. You are just kind-hearted. Your mother is not a bad person. If your sister-in-law and the others wanted to eat, they would have asked Mingyang to come over long ago. If they are still not hungry, just wait. They will come over to ask for food soon. Mother will not refuse to give them food, but how to give it to them depends on your sister-in-law's attitude."
She was waiting to hear the bad news about Shen Meng this morning. She listened through the crack of the door for a long time and heard Mrs. Wang say that she was well again. She was so angry that her teeth ached all morning.
Since she was fine, she had to give something back if she wanted to eat. Otherwise, she would not eat a single grain of rice.
