Chapter 17 But Our Family Has No Money



The next day, before dawn, Lin Feng went to the city to work.

Lin Xiaoxiao was woken up by Lin Rui, who cooked sweet potato soup, made some potato dough, and fried some small vegetables.

Although it is called stir-fry, it is almost the same as boiling. There is no oil in the dish. There is just a little salt and no other seasoning. It tastes bland.

Lin Xiaoxiao was not used to the food, but Lin Rui and Naibao ate it very happily.

"Xiaoxiao, you and Naibao, don't wander around. I'm going to talk to Xihua about something and will be back soon."

In a hurry to find Zhao Xihua, Lin Rui ate very quickly. Before Lin Xiaoxiao had finished one potato dough, he had already eaten three or four.

"Second brother, go ahead and don't worry!"

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head to drink the porridge in the bowl and replied absentmindedly.

This dish without oil, ingredients or meat was too disgusting. She was thinking about what she could do to improve the meal.

Lin Rui drank the last bit of soup in the bowl in one gulp and wiped his mouth. "Then I'll go first. After you finish eating, you can play at home. I'll clean up the dishes when I come back."

Milk bag replied like a little adult, "Second brother is becoming more and more nagging."

Lin Rui laughed out loud, "He's a little kid with a big heart."

After returning to the house and getting a coat, Lin Rui went out.

As soon as he left, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her attention to little Naibao. Perhaps it was true that children from poor families grow up early, because although Naibao was only four or five years old, he was very sensible.

They don't need to be fed, and there's no food waste or spills everywhere.

"Milk bag, do you want to go to school?"

Children of this age can go to kindergarten.

"I do." Little Milk Bag's eyes lit up, then dimmed, "But our family has no money."

Little Milk Boy has always been envious of other children who go to school in groups of three or five carrying schoolbags on their backs. However, he knows that they have to pay tuition fees and spend money to buy schoolbags.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a pang of sadness and rubbed his hair. "Sister will let you go to school soon."

After Naibao had eaten his fill, Lin Xiaoxiao not only did not leave the dishes for Lin Rui to wash when he came back, she also cleaned the house inside and out.

Lin Feng works in the city, and his work is tiring and he doesn't earn much. He can only come back two or three times a month, and he always comes back at night and leaves before dawn the next day.

In addition to taking care of the crops in the fields, Lin Rui also has to find something else to do. It's usually tiring and he doesn't make much money.

The only ones who were idle at home all day were Naibao and the original owner. Naibao was still young, and the original owner was spoiled by his brother and was a bit lazy. He didn't like cleanliness very much, so the house was very messy.

Lin Xiaoxiao likes cleanliness very much and can't stand a dirty house. She feels comfortable living in a clean house.

It seemed that the little kid had not adapted to Lin Xiaoxiao's transformation. When she was packing up, he stared at her blankly with his eyes wide open. Later, he began to help wipe things with his chubby little hands.

Don't underestimate his small size, he is quite capable when doing things.

As a reward, Lin Xiaoxiao took out the candy that Miao Hong had given him and gave it to him.

"Sister, you eat too."

Little Milk Bag took the candy with his eyes shining, but he didn't put it into his mouth immediately. Instead, he put it to Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth and let her take a bite first.

"I've eaten, you eat now!" This child is really sensible, Lin Xiaoxiao likes him more and more.

"Leave this piece for my brother to eat."

Little Milk Bag broke off a small piece of candy and put it in his mouth. He then carefully wrapped up the remaining half and put it back in the room.

It is not good to eat too many candies at once, and Lin Xiaoxiao did not stop the little boy from doing that. She put all the dirty clothes that she had changed last night in a basin and took the little boy to the river.
