Chapter 3 Life-saving food!
Cai gave most of the chicken to Xiao Yuanbao and shared the remaining half of the meat among her three sons. The children needed to eat well to grow, and she only needed to drink some soup.
"Mother, you were injured while protecting my sister. We don't have money to see a doctor. Eat some chicken to nourish your body and get well soon."
People always empathize with others.
After several years of living together, Cai, the stepmother, was recognized by her sons.
Little Yuanbao was brought up by Cai since he was one year old, and the older sons also had the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Everyone bullied them, and only this stepmother was willing to protect them.
For their sake, I will not remarry.
They all swore that from now on, Cai would be their biological mother, and when they grew up, they would take care of her and take care of her until the end of their lives.
This humility made Cai's eyes red again.
With tears in her eyes, she bit a piece of chicken and said, "Okay, Mom will eat it, and you guys should eat it too..."
Suddenly, there was a noise behind the straw hut.
Little Yuanbao raised his pigtails and listened carefully.
Then, his little face flushed with excitement, he jumped up and ran towards the straw hut.
"Sister, slow down."
Dabao and a few others were chasing after them.
Little Yuanbao was grunting as he dug a large cloth bag on the snow behind the straw hut.
His eyes sparkled, as if offering a treasure, "Brothers, food, eat your fill..."
Everyone was stunned!
It really is a big bag of food!
Erbao looked around vigilantly.
It was almost dark, and there were no people or animals around.
Where does this food come from?
For this mother and her children, this is a life-saving thing!
When Cai saw the logo on the food bag, she was stunned.
"This is a bag of t-shirts!"
When I opened it again, I saw that it was indeed filled with shirt rations. It was full of coarse grains.
Coarse grain flour can be eaten with water and made into paste, or it can be made into vegetable cakes or steamed into steamed buns, which are very filling.
"It's not new, it's been opened, but it weighs about 70 or 80 kilograms. That's great! We can eat it sparingly and mix it with wild vegetables. It will be enough to last for a month or two." Cai was very happy.
But I was happy but at the same time I felt nervous. Where did this feeling come from?
Erbao suddenly said, "Mom, did you notice? We heard the noise and went out, but there was not even a footprint on the snow. It was like we fell from the sky..."
Little Yuanbao's heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
The second brother is so smart, he noticed something was wrong!
She was anxious, stretched out her chubby little arms and said, "It's food for us... It's Daddy appearing in spirit!"
Cai touched Xiao Yuanbao's head and choked up, "Yes, it's our food! This is your father's relief food! His spirit in heaven must be worried about you, so he sent food to us..."
The boys looked at each other.
No matter what, it's a good thing to have food to eat and not have to worry about being hungry.
"Mom, there's still some chicken soup in the jar. Let's add some whole grain noodles and cook it again. Now we can all have enough to eat."
I haven't had a full meal in a long time.
"good."
Dabao was more alert. While Cai was cooking, he looked around again, but still did not find any unusual footprints.
I really can't figure it out, so I'll just forget it for now.
Today has been an unbelievable day.
***
At this time, in the old Tang family's house.
Old Mrs. Tang sat on the ground, touching her thigh which was bruised and bruised, and cursed the Cai family for being scoundrels.
Her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren are rebuilding and tidying up the house for her.
The most important thing is to dig out the overturned rice and grain jar first.
All the food in the Tang family was placed under Old Lady Tang's kang. For every meal, Old Lady Tang would personally take out the food and give it to her daughter-in-law to cook. No one else was allowed to get close.
"Mom, the granary has been dug out. The granary is broken!"
Old Mrs. Tang was greatly surprised and hurried over to take a look.
She rummaged in the broken jar and howled like a slaughtered pig, "Who the hell stole my food? Where's my fourth son's food? There are still 70 or 80 kilograms of food! How come there are only some sweet potatoes left?"
She checked it again in the morning and couldn't bear to eat it.
The eldest grandson Tang Xiaolong asked, "Grandma, could it be that those lucky idiots stole it?"
"Impossible! When they left, I searched them and didn't let them take a single hair with them."
Mrs. Tang's eyes turned fierce. "Tell me! Did one of you take advantage of the chaos to hide it from me? Did you deliberately say it was missing? You stole my food, you rotten thing!"
"Mom, we didn't steal!"
Everyone in the room was complaining, but Old Lady Tang ignored them and started beating them with a big stick.
Everyone in the room knelt down in unison, "Mom, we really didn't steal the food!"
"I don't believe you, I'll beat you to death!"
There was a lot of ghosts howling.
Just as he was howling, someone suddenly came to the door and asked for Old Lady Tang.
"Our Tengu will be buried tomorrow. You have received all the money, but are you ready for the funeral?"
Old Lady Tang readily agreed, "Don't worry! Nothing I do will go wrong..."
I only got the deposit, and I haven't received the balance yet.
Now the house has collapsed, the food has been stolen by those heartless bastards, and money is required everywhere.
I had no choice but to sell that dead girl to get some cash flow.
After a few days, Sanbao was sold. Sanbao was smart. There was an old widower in the next village who had no children. He wanted to buy a son and bring him home to raise him, and take care of him until his old age...
A dumb girl can be sold for five taels, so when the time comes to sell the third treasure, a son at that, the price will surely be over ten taels.
No matter how much those unsuccessful people complain, it’s useless. Whether the product will be sold or not is up to Mrs. Tang to decide!
