Huaying sat in front of the low table, her wet eyes staring at the bamboo shoots in Huashi's hand.
Because there was no seasoning, she just found some coarse salt left by Mrs. Li in the corner of the kitchen stove, crushed it, and mixed it with bamboo shoots cooked in water. It was barely edible.
Because there was nothing else to eat, Hua Shi cut the bamboo shoots they dug in the bamboo forest into slices and boiled them in water. It was a large plate, which could keep them full for a while.
The bamboo shoots are not tender, but a bit old. After boiling, draining the water, they are shriveled and can be eaten with salt water. Some of the tender ones are slippery and springy when eaten with salt water. When you bite them, the juice inside bursts out, which is quite refreshing.
Anyway, it tastes delicious when eaten at Huashi, and is much better than those two pieces of broken steamed buns.
Xiao Huaying also ate with great enthusiasm. However, because she had small hands and was not very good at using chopsticks, she would just grab the food with her hands when she got anxious.

Huaying glared at Hua Shi angrily, covering his hands with his hands, looking a little angry.

Maybe there was something delicious, so even though Huaying was anxious and angry, she didn't make a fuss.
A plate of bamboo shoots was eaten up cleanly by two people, one big and one small, in a flash.
Noon——
Hua Shi sat under the eaves to enjoy the cool air, while Hua Ying squatted in the corner watching ants, and neither of them paid any attention to each other.
"Meow……!"
Suddenly, a cat's meow was heard in the house, which was particularly obvious in the quiet yard.
Huaying, who was squatting in the corner pretending to be a mushroom, turned his head quickly, and looked curiously in the direction of the cat's meow with his black eyes.
Hua Shi paused, then she remembered that she had a cat hidden in her room...
