Xu Niannian glanced at the table in the room, and sure enough, there was food on it.
"Thank you. I'll eat first, then wash some clothes and go check on the pigs."
She looked at her watch. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. She should go and check it out.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded first, then shook his head:
"I don't mean to rush you. Eat first and I'll pick you up later."
Xu Niannian smiled:
"It's okay, I can go by myself. If I don't know the way, I can just ask other people. There won't be any bad people on the farm."
Zhang Sanfeng saw that she was not in a good mood, so he did not want to disturb her:
"Then I'll wait for you over there by the pigsty."
Xu Niannian locked the door and went straight into the space to take a shower and eat some fruit in the space.
Only then did I recover.
Lu Huaijin, I haven’t seen you for a long time.
If I hadn't come here, I would have almost forgotten what he looked like. I had only seen him a few times.
Okay, I admit it's kind of hard to forget what he looks like.
Looking at the food prepared for him in the space, his heart softened.
Xu Niannian carried the backpack and walked towards the pigpen. It was not yet time for her to go to work, so there was almost no one outside.
She deliberately passed by the cowshed, so that even if someone saw them talking together, she could say that she was going to see how the cows were doing.
When I walked to that place, I saw the lame middle-aged man I saw in the morning standing near the cowshed, busy with something.
Her heart trembled. If she guessed correctly, it was the second uncle of the original owner. Did he recognize her this morning? So he waited for her here on purpose.
She walked over quickly:
"Hello, I'm Xu Niannian, the technical instructor you invited to help. Could you introduce me to the bullpen?"
Lin Yizhan looked at the little girl in front of him with a complicated expression. He was sure that she was his niece.
The voice is a little hoarse from years of disuse:
"good."
After entering the cowshed, Xu Niannian saw his appearance clearly, looked around and made sure that there was no one there.
Whispered:
"Second uncle?"
Lin Yizhan didn't want to admit it, but he felt that the little girl had already found him here, and it would hurt her feelings if he didn't admit it.
But he clearly remembered that the little girl had no contact with their family in the following years.
He nodded stiffly.
Xu Niannian probably understood his feelings, she just didn't want to implicate herself.
"Take me into my grandfather's house."
"good."
Fortunately, the family lived in a cowshed and no one would disturb them.
As soon as he entered the house, Xu Niannian put down the basket in his hand and took out things one by one.
First, there were a dozen big meat buns and ten white steamed buns. The meat buns were made with the meat and corn kernels from the space later. The white steamed buns were also made with the flour from the space.
She wanted her family to eat more and regain as much strength as possible.
Then there were the pills in the wooden box. She was afraid that if someone found them, it would be a disaster for them.
So even if the jade bottle had a good preservation effect, she still put it in a wooden box. What's more, she wanted them to finish eating it as soon as possible, not as a family heirloom.
Anyway, it was found to be medicine, and no one dared to take it casually.
Then there were a few bottles of mushroom sauce and diced meat sauce.
The other four people in the room watched this scene with wide eyes.
The grandparents' eyes were already red, and there was a dark and thin boy about ten years old. If I was not mistaken, he should be the second uncle's child.
She whispered:
"I won't go into any more pleasantries. It's hot, so eat this meat bun as soon as possible and try not to let anyone else see it."
"The pills are supplements I made for you. They contain ginseng and other things, which are good for nourishing the body. Each of you can take one pill a day for a period of time. I will come and get them for you next time if I have the chance."
"The meat sauce might taste good, but that's up to you guys to decide."
"I've also prepared some biscuits, meat sauce, and White Rabbit candies for you on the mountain. I've already drawn a map with clear markings on it. Just be careful when you go up the mountain, as there may be snakes."
As he said this, he handed the map to his second uncle, the only young and strong man.
Grandfather asked repeatedly:
"Did you meet him when you went up there? Is Nian Nian okay?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over her.
Xu Niannian quickly shook his head and took out a small bottle of something from his backpack.
"When you go, you can apply some of this. This is the liquid of Pinellia ternata, which I have extracted."
Xu Niannian took a look at the environment of the house and could see that someone cleaned it regularly, but the mud house was just so-so no matter how clean it was.
She glanced at her watch. Someone might come out soon.
"I'll tell you next time I get a chance. I have to go now."
"Okay, okay, good boy, let's go."
Xu Niannian finally took out a few handfuls of mugwort from his backpack:
"If you have a smell after eating, you can light this to cover up the smell."
He said, glancing at them quickly again.
Grandma's eyes were a little unfocused, but she heard everything that was said and her eyes were red.
I didn't dare say anything, for fear of causing them trouble.
Xu Niannian emphasized again:
"You must take the pills, one a day."
Having said that, he walked out of the cowshed.
We met briefly and only talked for a few minutes.
After everyone left, my grandfather said in a deep voice:
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
His eyes swept over his grandson.
Lin Qingshan nodded. After several years of hard work, he had become taciturn.
Most of the people around him were highly educated, but he didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to gamble with the girl's future.
If they are exposed and reported, it will not only be them who will be harmed, but also their granddaughter.
However, no matter how taciturn he was, his eyes still fell on the meat buns. He had not eaten such white and tender buns in a long time.
Not only him, everyone in the room looked at Roubao.
Perhaps to make it easier to hold, each meat bun is wrapped in oil paper, and the oil has seeped through the dough.
Look at them like that:
"Let's each eat one first, and eat the others in the evening."
They look like meat buns at first glance. If you eat too much at once, my stomach might not be able to handle it.
Everyone hides their things first, and then everyone gets a meat bun.
After taking a bite, the aroma of meat instantly filled my entire mouth. I didn't care what it tasted like and could only eat it one bite after another.
The meat buns have thin skin and large fillings. The meat filling is so much that it will overflow when you take a bite, but it does not taste greasy at all. The fragrance of the corn neutralizes the aroma of the meat.
While eating, the grandfather suddenly thought of Huiru. If Huiru knew that the little girl has grown up now, she would probably be very relieved.
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
The same is true for others.
Lin Qingshan didn't have much impression of this sister, but after seeing their family's downfall and the people around them mocking and ridiculing them, this timely help was extremely precious.
It has been a long time since he had eaten such good food.
He could even imagine how delicious the meat sauce would be.
