Meng Changjin put the backpack in the corner of the room and turned to look at the eldest and second girls: "Are you hungry?"
The eldest and second girls nodded at Meng Changjin: "We are hungry!"
Meng Changjin raised his hand and touched the heads of the two girls one by one, then took the two girls out to eat.
She didn't carry a backpack, but she asked Xiaosi to help her put away the things in the basket.
Xiao Si naturally didn't want to give Meng Changjin the advantage for free, so the man and the fish argued for a long time before Xiao Si reluctantly agreed to help.
Although he agreed to help, Xiao Si was very reluctant and kept grumbling.
Meng Changjin also listened carefully. She knew that he would not say anything good. He might even be secretly cursing her.
Never mind, she was in a good mood now and didn't intend to bother with Xiao Si, the fish.
The variety of food in the county town is much richer and more diverse. Meng Changjin is not a person with difficulty making choices. For her, anything is fine as long as it is not too bad and can fill her stomach.
But when bringing two little girls out, I naturally have to ask for their opinions.
In the end, the eldest and second girls both chose fried food.
Meng Changjin tilted his head, thought about it, and seemed to understand a little.
It seems that when they are young, they prefer to eat this kind of fried food.
Meng Changjin doesn't think that the eldest and second girls are eating junk food just because they chose fried food this time. Eating it every day is unhealthy, and eating it occasionally is just to try something new.
The food prices in the county town are indeed a little bit more expensive than those in the market, but not too exaggerated, and Meng Changjin can still afford it.
The three of them ate and drank their fill outside, and then went back to the hotel to rest.
Meng Changjin still felt a little dizzy, probably due to the aftereffects of motion sickness.
I took the eldest and second daughter back to the hotel room, took a quick bath with the hotel's hot water, and also gave the two younger girls a hot bath. After they were clean, the three of them lay on the bed.
There are two beds in the room. Meng Changjin sleeps on one, and the big girl and the second girl sleep on the other.
I set out from home early in the morning and walked to the market. Then I took a few hours' bus ride to the county town. Then I asked for directions while walking to find a pharmacy. I was really exhausted.
So after Meng Changjin lay down on the bed, he fell asleep quickly.
This was the first time she had truly slept since entering the mission world.
In the past, she used meditation to replace sleep.
Mom fell asleep, and the eldest and second daughters spoke very closely to each other in a whisper, determined not to make any loud noise to wake her up.
So Meng Changjin slept quite comfortably this time.
When I woke up, I felt refreshed, which is a feeling I couldn't get after meditating all night.
It seems that sleep is still very necessary.
Looking sideways at the bed next to them, the eldest and second girls were leaning against each other with their eyes closed, sleeping like two little pigs.
Thinking of this description, Meng Changjin suddenly remembered something.
She seemed to have forgotten that there were two pigs at home.
I fed it when I went out this morning, and it must be growling with hunger now, right?
Meng Changjin shifted his gaze from the bed next to him to the window. The distant sky was dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun. The breeze lifted the hotel's curtains printed with green bamboo and pandas. This scene seemed particularly beautiful to Meng Changjin, who had no artistic talent.
But she has little education, so she can only say it is pretty.
Then he looked away without any reluctance and got out of bed.
…
When the eldest and second girls woke up, it was completely dark. There was no light in the room, but there was light from outside coming in through the window.
The two little girls just opened their eyes and moved a little, and the next second the room lit up with a click.
The light bulbs in the hotel were obviously much brighter. Compared to the extremely dim lights at home, these light bulbs were as bright as day.
Meng Changjin loosened his hand that was pulling the light switch cord and at the same time withdrew his gaze from the light bulb.
He turned his gaze to the eldest and second girls: "You've woken up, come get up and eat something."
The big girl and the second girl agreed, got out of bed and put on their shoes.
Meng Changjin handed each of them a palm-sized piece of cake.
"Mom, you eat too." Erniu raised her head and pushed the cake that Meng Changjin handed to her towards Meng Changjin. Her dark eyes were full of pure innocence.
"I've eaten. This is yours." Meng Changjin smiled and patted Erniu's head. She was a little uncomfortable being called mom in the beginning, but now she can accept it very calmly.
Knowing that Meng Changjin had already eaten, the eldest and second girls started to eat the cakes obediently.
"There is cool water here." Meng Changjin pushed an enamel cup on the table and reminded.
The pancakes were still a little dry, and Meng Changjin was afraid that the eldest and second girls would choke, so he poured some boiling water into them to cool them down.
Meng Changjin watched the two little girls finish a piece of cake, taking a bite and sip of water, and then handed each of them another piece.
The two of them took it calmly and started to eat the second piece of cake.
After eating two pieces of cake, the eldest and second girls patted their bellies to indicate that they were full.
The dinner problem was solved, but Erniu couldn't fall asleep at all, so she came to Meng Changjin and leaned against her legs.
He didn't say anything, but he seemed happy as long as he was relying on Meng Changjin.
The older girl felt a little jealous, but she also felt that she was already a six-year-old child and couldn't get close to her mother like her younger sister, as that was something only children did.
But she was very envious in her heart. She also wanted to stay close to her mother like Erniu.
Meng Changjin saw the desire in Da Niu's eyes and waved, motioning her to come over to her.
The girl's eyes were filled with joy, and she shyly moved to the other side of Meng Changjin with her short legs.
Meng Changjin held a child in one hand and felt that he should say something.
After all, they are full and just woke up, so they can't fall asleep again, so they might as well chat.
"Do you want to go to school, big girl?" Nowadays, children can go to school at the age of six. The country encourages sending children to school, but in rural areas, some families still do not plan to send their children to school because of tuition and book fees.
Or they would send boys to school. As for girls, many people in rural areas favor boys over girls. They think it is unnecessary for girls to go to school. They spend money and effort, but they will still get married in the end. What is the point of spending so much time? At the age of five or six, they can help with housework. Instead of spending money to send them to school, it is better for them to work at home.
There are only a handful of girls in the village who can go to school. When the eldest girl was cutting grass for pigs, she was very envious of others who went to and from school with their small schoolbags on their backs.
But she could only envy him because she felt that her parents and grandmother were not prepared to let her go to school.
But now Meng Changjin's question gave the girl hope.
