After Zhao Ruoxia left, Mrs. Zhang felt that her breath became much fresher every day.
Early in the morning, he took the initiative to take over the cooking job and asked Zheng to take good care of the two young wounded people in the room.
Tianfu carefully carried two eggs into the kitchen.
"Mom, Ah Hua and Ah Cao laid eggs again."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that the three chickens sent by Chunsheng grew so fast. They were already able to lay eggs for the family twice in just over three months.
She thought that Xiangyun and Manman needed to supplement their nutrition when they were sick, so she planned to make egg custard. When she turned around, she saw her youngest son's bright eyes, which said "want to eat eggs" written all over his face.
"Tianfu is good, my sister is sick, and the whole family is worried. You are the brother, can you give the eggs to your sister?"
Lin Tianfu nodded sensibly, generously divided out one egg, and kicked the other in his arms like a treasure.
Zhang's mouth twitched: "Sister Manman is also sick, can we share an egg with her too?"
Tianfu frowned and became unhappy: "She is not my sister, why should I give her the eggs? Besides, she is older than me, so she should let me."
When he was at home, his parents always said that he should respect the old and love the young. A Bao was younger than him, so it was normal for him to let her go, but Manman was neither a relative nor a villain, so he didn't want to give the egg to her.
Zhang's patience has always been limited to three words, even if you don't have blessings from heaven, you have to pay them.
In the end, not only did he not eat the custard, but he was also treated as a coolie, carrying a bowl to deliver food to the two little wounded.
He felt miserable because Ahua, Acao and Amu were obviously raised by him, but in the end they couldn't even eat an egg.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved. This feeling reached its peak when Manman held the bowl of custard and disliked it.
"The egg custard I used to eat would be drizzled with a layer of sesame oil, which not only removes the fishy smell but also enhances the flavor."
"We don't have sesame oil at home. If you like it, you can eat it. If you don't like it, give it to me!" Lin Tianfu's face was bulging, and his mouth was as round and chubby as if there were buns stuffed in it.
Manman was stunned and stared at the little boy in front of him at a loss. Seeing him glaring at him angrily, he didn't know what he said wrong, so he could only lower his head and sip the egg custard in a small mouth.
From time to time, he would look up at the little boy, and every time he would catch his furtive gaze.
After Lin Tianfu left, Ah Man carefully asked out his doubts.
"Aunt Zheng, did I say something wrong just now? Why is he so angry?"
Mrs. Zheng witnessed the whole process, and she couldn't stop laughing in her heart: "Maybe he is angry, why did three chickens only lay two eggs?"
Because only the third egg will enter his stomach.
Xiangyun was wearing a coat and trousers, leaning on the quilt, and said "Ahhhh" in response.
The fourth brother is petty and jealous of the custard in the little girl's bowl, but he is not ashamed.
Aman stayed at the Lin family for three days. During this period, the Lin family asked her several times if she knew where her home was, but she was always confused.
After a while, it was said that there was a rockery and stream at home, and the Lin family thought that her family lived near the water bank.
After a while, she said there was a lion at the door of her house, and the Lin family thought her family lived in the mountains...
Don't blame them for not thinking elsewhere, it's just that when Manman came home, his clothes were so tattered that he looked like a little beggar.
Little did she know that this outfit was specially put on for her by a group of photographers who were afraid that a group of big men would be suspicious of a young girl with a gorgeous dress.
If other families saw such a girl with tender skin and tender flesh, they might think she was the child of a rich family, but the Lin family was different. A Bao was a country girl who was born and raised in the countryside. She was also pretty and very cute.
The Lin family didn't think that Manman was a lost girl from a wealthy family at all. They just thought that she was abducted from some village by human traffickers.
Therefore, Lin Laosan visited several surrounding villages in a few days and did not find anyone who had lost a child.
Manman could only stay at the Lin family temporarily and wait for Song Yamen to finish his work before discussing her stay.
Xiangyun drank Ganmao Ling every day and recovered quickly from his illness. He would also pour a spoonful of it into Manman's bowl when no one was paying attention.
Although the little girl is several years older than Xiangyun, her body and bones are not as healthy as hers.
Xiangyun was completely cured of the same cold and cold in three days, but Manman is still coughing and sneezing.
During their free time, the two little girls were lying on the bed. Aman was chattering to Xiangyun. The child's mind was jumping. One second he was complaining about Lin Tianfu's bad temper, and the next second he was thinking of a few fishes at the door of several houses. …
Xiangyun hummed in response from time to time in response. Despite the language barrier between the two, they could chat from day to night until they lighted the oil lamp. Even Zheng was curious about what the two little babies had to talk about.
It would be five or six days later when Song Yin finished dealing with the gang of villains who abducted children and found time to visit Lin's house.
Lin Laosan informed the villagers of the news one day in advance. The Cao family went to the city to buy pork and ribs, and bought a few kilograms of sorghum wine, intending to express their gratitude to the savior at the Lin family.
The child named Shunxi was also found. It was said that Song Yamen had tortured him, so those people revealed the whereabouts of the abducted child.
In just three years, forty or fifty children have been murdered. Most of them have been resold many times and have long since disappeared. Only Shunxi, who was abducted not long ago, still has traces to trace.
Shunxi's father and mother appeared in the Lin family yard, one carrying rice and the other holding a basket of eggs, with Shunxi cautiously following behind them.
The two elders and the younger one knelt down in front of Lin Laosan and Song Yamen, grabbed their arms, and kept saying words of thanks.
"Thanks to Brother Lin and Yamen Song, my family Shunxi was able to find his way home. Our whole family kowtows to you."
Song Yin hurriedly helped the person up, and Lin Laosan called the boys to take Shunxi down to play.
Even Mrs. Zheng came out of the stove when she heard the sound and pulled Shun Xi Niang towards the kitchen: "I heard that my sister-in-law's skill in ordering tofu is the best in the village. I think she is also good at making tofu. This braised tofu soup is the best." Sorry, sister-in-law."
Shun Xi Niang is a quick-tempered person, she picks up the spatula, rolls up her sleeves and gets started.
"From now on, my family will make all the tofu for you and the Cao girls. You can have as much as you want."
Mrs. Zhang opened the kitchen curtain and walked in. She placed the washed ribs on the chopping board and cut the ribs into several sections easily with two "bang bangs" and responded with a smile.
"Then my family is going to take advantage. There are more than a dozen people in my family, but my aunt is not going to be poor. When the time comes, the people in the village will not be able to eat good tofu. What should I do if they come to my house to cause trouble?"
The girl from the Cao family kneaded the dough and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it will be cheaper for our two families from now on. Ordering tofu requires staying up late and taking a lot of effort. It is not easy to make some money. I will save it for Shunxi to go to school and get a wife." Use it."
Shun Xi Niang knew that the Lin family and the Cao family were thinking about her, so her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and her men moved more diligently, rushing to work in the kitchen.
The men were already drinking. The young men gathered in a circle and squatted on the ground to listen to Song Yamen's story about the search for the child.
Whenever the current situation of abducted children is mentioned, I can't help but feel heartbroken.
