An Wan brought a clove of garlic for Lu Jiayan to peel. She saw him sitting alone not far from the kitchen doorway, looking all lonely and a little pitiful.
She knew he really wanted to do something to help his family, but he had difficulty walking, didn't know what to do, and was afraid of bothering everyone.
Don't try to help but end up making things worse.
"Thank you, Wanwan." Lu Jiayan looked at her with tears of gratitude in his eyes.
She understands him.
very nice!
"Brother Jiayan also needs to work to eat, because you are also part of this family. We need to work together and we will definitely have a better life."
She smiled foolishly, having to play dumb in front of him, yet she always felt that he was just as clever as Lu Jingxing and Lu Yanshu, able to see through people's hearts.
She also had to try her best to play the role of a child, even though it was tiring.
——
After an hour and a half of hard work, lunch was finally ready.
Even though it's already one o'clock.
Looking at the table full of dishes, there was a big pot of chicken stew with mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, and two large plates of meat and vegetables.
It felt just like celebrating the New Year.
Of course, there were also two plates of lush green vegetables.
An Wan couldn't help but swallow, her mouth drooling profusely.
Chicken and rabbit meat, they smell so good!
Having lived through three years of the apocalypse in her previous life, she hadn't eaten chicken stew with mushrooms or braised rabbit.
At that time, almost all the normal animals had died out. The few remaining mutated animals were edible, but without seasonings, it was difficult to cook them well.
"It smells so good! Dad, I'm hungry, let's eat!" Lu Zhili said in her usual coquettish manner, her mouth watering as she looked at the chicken and rabbit on the table.
He picked up his chopsticks while looking at Lu Sen.
Lu Jingxing and his brothers were also eager to eat meat, but none of them dared to touch their chopsticks.
"I'm hungry too, Mom and Dad, can we eat meat now?" Lu Yanshu couldn't hold back any longer and started to whine like Lu Zhili.
He knew that this was how he would make his parents feel sorry for him.
Being too sensible and too strong is not a good thing.
"Eat up, you little gluttons! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!" Lu Sen couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw everyone's gluttonous expressions.
These past few years have been tough on these children; they've even had a hard time getting meat to eat.
If Anwan and her fifth son hadn't brought back three pheasants and a rabbit from the mountain today, we wouldn't have been able to afford meat today, let alone a month from now.
The family's situation is not good; it's already difficult enough to have enough to eat.
"Hehehe—" An Wan covered her mouth and giggled when she heard the number "seven".
From now on, she will be the seventh child.
Pshaw, they call themselves an "old married couple"?
It should be Xiao Qi.
"Eat as much as you want, eat your fill, it's okay if you finish it all in one meal. It's all because your father is useless, he can't earn enough money to support you, and you have to suffer because of him. I will work hard to earn money in the future so you can eat meat more often."
As he spoke, Lu Sen's eyes reddened.
“Dad…” Lu Zhili’s voice was choked with sobs as he looked at Lu Sen’s weathered face and felt a pang of sadness.
“Dad…” The five Lu brothers couldn’t help but feel sad.
An Wan felt very uncomfortable seeing this scene.
Poverty is the original sin.
But it also brought the kind and upright Lu family together.
"You kids, eat up!" Yunping wiped away her tears and picked up her chopsticks to put a piece of chicken on Lu Sen's plate.
Then he put another piece of chicken on An Wan's plate, followed by Lu Yanshu and Lu Zhili, then Lu Jiayan, and finally Lu Chun and the twins, and Lu Jingxing.
She takes care of every child.
Because they are all her treasures.
She carried the baby for ten months, risked her life to give birth, and then cared for the baby day and night until it grew up.
Each one is priceless and needs to be carefully protected.
"Mom, you eat too." An Wan stood up, picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks, and put it in Yunping's bowl.
She was truly happy to have such a kind adoptive mother, and a warm feeling welled up from the bottom of her heart.
"Dad, eat meat. Fifth and sixth brothers, eat meat. Jia Yan, eat meat..." An Wan also put a piece of chicken on Lu Sen's plate, and then put a piece of chicken on each of Lu Zhili's brothers' plates.
Then Lu Zhili found it amusing and, imitating her, put a piece of chicken on everyone's plate.
"Hehehe..." An Wan was very happy to see that everyone got along so well.
This is the kind of family she wants.
She didn't want to come to a family where there was only arguing and no love or affection whatsoever.
Fortunately, all six Lu Jingxing brothers were friendly and respectful to each other, and Lu Sen and Yunping were a harmonious and loving couple.
