Song Zhi knew that Ran Qiu didn't want to ask for her things for no reason, and this egg was probably the only good thing he could offer.
"Free-range eggs are great. We can cook them tomorrow morning and take them to work."
Nie Jinmei also spoke in a very supportive manner, not at all complaining about the small quantity.
The three little guys finished the dumplings quickly.
Nie Jinmei’s cooking skills are excellent, and she added eggs to the dough, which, along with tomatoes, made the dough sweet and sour and appetizing. The three of them all enjoyed the dish very much.
After eating, the three little guys licked their lips with a sense of satisfaction.
Seeing that they seemed not full yet, Song Zhi gave each of them a meat bun.
“Wow, it’s a meat bun!”
The three little guys took a bite and exclaimed in surprise.
They had never eaten meat buns before, and it turns out this is what meat buns taste like!
The outer layer of skin is soft and fluffy, soaking up the soup from the meat filling. When you take a bite, the soup will soak into the white and plump outer skin. The skin is filled with the taste of the broth, which is so delicious that they almost swallow their tongues.
No wonder Erniu showed off like that during the Chinese New Year that she had meat buns to eat.
“It’s so delicious!”
The three little guys had red eyes and the satisfaction on their faces was overflowing.
"This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten!" San Ya licked the broth on her fingers and sighed with emotion.
Seeing this, Song Zhi and Nie Jin's eyebrows tightened.
Although the three little guys seemed to want to eat more, Song Zhi did not give them any more.
They have already had a bowl of dumplings and a big bun, and it is not good to eat too much at night.
"Hurry up and wipe your hands and go to bed."
Ran Qiu glanced at them and said in a deep voice.
His expression was not fierce, but the three little guys listened to him very much and immediately wiped their hands and climbed onto the bed obediently.
Before Ran Qiu ordered them to leave, Song Zhi pulled Nie Jinmei up at the right time.
"We should go back too."
"I'll see you off." Ran Qiu handed her the basket of eggs and walked her to the door.
After stepping out of the room, Song Zhi stopped and took out the medicine from his pocket and handed it to Ran Qiu.
"This is the military's medicated oil. It should be more effective than the ones you usually buy. Take it and treat Dabao and the others' wounds."
Ran Qiu looked at the medicinal oil that was forced into his hands and didn't want to take it. But when he thought of the injuries on the three little guys, he tightened his fingers holding the medicinal oil.
San Ya's injuries were the most serious, especially the several deep nail marks on her face, which would leave scars if not treated properly.
He said thank you dryly: "Thank you."
"There are still several buns. You can eat some while they are hot."
Song Zhi looked at him, who was as thin as a bamboo pole and looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but she couldn't help but say something more.
Ran Qiu was startled, and his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.
"If you don't take care of yourself, how are you going to take care of Dabao, Erbao and Sanya?" Song Zhi added.
"Okay." Ran Qiu was silent for a long time, and seemed to have taken her words into consideration, and responded in a muffled voice.
"I'll take you back," he said.
The weather was getting colder. After standing outside for just a while, Song Zhi felt her feet were frozen. The coldness penetrated into the bones from the soles of her feet, making her shiver uncontrollably.
With the few clothes on Ran Qiu, Song Zhi couldn't imagine how cold he would be if he went out for a walk, not to mention that he was limping.
"No need, we can just go back by ourselves."
Seeing that she was determined not to be sent off, Ran Qiu did not force her. He just stood at the door and watched them leave quietly.
Under the dim sky, she was like a small cluster of lights, illuminating his courtyard.
He stood there, following the figure with his eyes until she disappeared from his sight, then he turned and went back into the room.
The buns left by Song Zhi were placed on the low cabinet beside the bed.
Ran Qiu opened the lunch box and took out a bun.
One of the buns looked like a garlic with its top sawed off, with the filling in the middle exposed. It didn’t seem to be from the same family as the other plump and upright buns in the lunch box.
However, Ran Qiu still picked up the ugliest one, slowly brought it to his mouth, and took a light bite. The next second, his pupils trembled slightly.
The buns have thin skin and large fillings, and the outer skin is covered with gravy. You will want to swallow your tongue after taking a bite.
It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted in twenty years.
On the way back, Song Zhi and Nie Jinmei felt a little heavy in their hearts.
They all came from good families and had never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood. They had never seen such a poor family.
"I heard those three kids call Teacher Qiu brother, but why aren't their parents here?" Nie Jinmei didn't know the situation of Ran Qiu and the others, so she couldn't help but ask.
"They are all orphans without parents. Ran Qiu adopted them." Song Zhi answered slowly.
Thinking of the life experiences of the three little guys, she frowned slightly and felt even more depressed.
Nie Jinmei didn't expect that the three of them were orphans, and suddenly felt that they were even more pitiful.
"Teacher Qiu doesn't look very old, and her legs and feet are not very good. It must be difficult for her to take care of three children."
"It's indeed not easy." Song Zhi nodded in agreement. She took a deep breath and briefly explained the life stories of the three little ones.
After hearing this, Nie Jinmei's eyes flushed red as she sighed with genuine emotion, "Teacher Qiu is such a good person."
Song Zhi didn't respond. She suddenly turned around and looked behind her.
At this moment, they were already far away from Ran Qiu and his friends' yard, but they could still see a desolate outline from afar.
Is Ran Qiu a good person?
There is no doubt that Ran Qiu is indeed a good person now.
But why would such a good person commit such evil things in the future and end up in jail?
Song Zhi's eyes darkened, and she thought to herself, her brows furrowed into a "川" shape, her lips tightly pursed as she stared at the dark sky, her heart sinking even more.
Thinking of everything that happened today, she couldn't help but clench her hands.
Ran Qiu and the three little ones just want to survive now.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing that she didn't leave and was staring blankly at the back, Nie Jinmei pulled her arm in confusion and asked.
"Nothing." Song Zhi came back to his senses and shook his head gently, "Let's go back quickly."
The wind was cold and the road was bumpy. The two of them walked very carefully, fearing that they would fall and stumble accidentally.
Song Zhi stared at the road ahead, thinking in her heart what she should do to rescue Ran Qiu and the three little ones from the quagmire.
Ran Qiu is a good man, and she hopes he can be a good man all his life.
