Da Dong and Xiao Xi insisted on leaving, and Yin Lan almost tied them up before they stayed.
The little kids helped out here all day, but when they got back, they didn't even get to eat wild vegetable soup.
Yin Lan looked at their empty stomachs, which were clearly already rumbling, yet they kept insisting that they weren't hungry, that they had already eaten yesterday and didn't need to eat today.
What, do you have to be particular about eating a day apart?
Although the child was young, he refused to take advantage of others for nothing, probably because he had been warned by some people in the village since childhood.
"Uncle is giving you some food because he feels sorry for you two. Here."
They gave him a small sip of millet soup, which he finished in two gulps. Then he went around telling people, "Oh dear, I'm out of food at home, but I gave these two children some food because I felt sorry for them. We're all from the same village, so we should help each other out."
Then other people praised this person for being kind-hearted.
Within half a day, the whole village knew about it.
So when Da Dong and Xiao Xi go out, they'll say a few words to everyone they meet, "Your uncle is really good to you two. You'll probably have to repay him when you grow up."
"You might forget this kindness when you grow up, but it's something you can never repay in a lifetime."
Hearing these kinds of things repeatedly, and experiencing similar situations multiple times, the two children, who already struggle to support themselves, will also have to bear a heavy psychological burden.
The food was barely enough to fill my stomach, but it brought me a lifetime of gratitude.
So later, the two children stopped accepting food from that person.
As a result, the man told everyone he met, "Those two kids are really heartless. They treat my kindness like a great enemy. They run away as soon as they see me. So, you know, you can't be too kind-hearted."
The two children ended up pleasing neither side.
As for Tian Youwei, he also disliked the two kids at the time. Later, he threw some food on the ground and told the two kids to pick it up and eat it, intending to humiliate them. The two kids actually picked it up and ate it.
Just then, Tian Youwei was confronted by a group of people from the neighboring Changmao Village. He thought the two kids were going to take the opportunity to get revenge, since what he had just said was so rude and he had thrown something on the ground. Picking it up and eating it would be humiliating enough no matter what.
Unexpectedly, during the fight, Da Dong rushed forward first, and Tian Youwei still remembers his fierceness clearly.
Because of Da Dong, Tian Youwei wasn't beaten as badly.
The two brothers, both in dire straits, stared at each other for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"You're so ugly."
"You think you're not ugly?"
Later, the two ended up hanging out together.
So now, the two children won't eat food given to them by others, except for Tian Youwei.
Yin Lan squatted down to face Xiao Xi, looking into the little girl's pure eyes, though she was so thin. "Xiao Xi, have you helped your aunt with anything?"
Xiao Xi didn't know why she asked this.
She nodded.
But that was nothing. People in the village would often ask the two kids to help with something, and they would give them a small piece of bread, something that would be gone in one bite. Most people would give them nothing at all.
After all, the two kids live in a house in the village, which is equivalent to taking advantage of the villagers, so what's wrong with asking them to do a little something?
So, Xiaoxi thought that if she was lucky today, she might get a small piece of steamed bun; if she was unlucky, she would go straight back.
The two children had nothing, so no one in the village dared to offend them. After finishing their tasks, they would obediently leave on their own.
Today they even ate a whole bowl of Aunt Yin's egg drop soup, and that was eggs! A whole bowl!
There are already far too many.
"You did something, so you deserve to eat today."
“Look, your Uncle Dashan did something, so he has to stay for dinner.”
Chen Yourun kept looking at Yin Lan. At this moment, she was squatting down, her face full of love, talking to the child, probably deliberately with a touch of childlike innocence.
Her adorable appearance made his heart feel as if it were being caressed by feathers.
But in her words, the person who does the work gets to stay and eat. So, he did work, he can...
"Is...is it okay?" Xiaoxi asked uncertainly.
"sure."
Xiao Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She was so hungry. She hadn't felt it while she was working, but now that she had stopped, she was truly cold and hungry.
However, throughout the winter, she and her brother endured the cold and hunger. Several times, she felt that she might not make it, but her brother would always wake her up in the end.
She had never smelled such a pleasant scent before.
She really, really wanted to eat it, but she knew she couldn't. Now, could she really?
Yin Lan directly took a piece of pork and stuffed it into Xiao Xi's mouth.
When making braised pig offal, Yin Lan actually added some pork, but because braised pork doesn't taste as good as pig offal, she added very little.
But the two kids definitely like to eat meat.
Xiao Xi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, the aroma almost making her faint, and tears nearly welled up in her eyes.
Yin Lan is not good at comforting children. If it's a boy, she'll just leave him aside and come back to him after he's finished crying.
But this poor little girl, Yin Lan... she definitely can't have her in the future.
Hands? Absolutely not.
"Erwa, come here!"
Finally, Yin Lan used Erwa's clothes to wipe the little girl's face and nose.
Second Child: "......"
