Chapter 563: Drinking and Not Hungry
The little babies looked at the water in the bowl without crying or making a fuss. They had become accustomed to drinking water when they were hungry.
Anyway, I can’t eat anything until mealtime, let alone snacks and desserts. I have only eaten them a few times since I was born.
He puffed up his mouth and blew into the bowl. When the water temperature dropped a little, he picked up the bowl and drank all the water in one gulp.
It can be seen that they are indeed hungry.
But drinking water can only fill you up, and you'll still feel hungry.
The second brother, who just said that he had a big belly, patted his round belly and frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Mom, my stomach is thundering again."
"Mom, my stomach is thundering too"
"Mom, I want to eat steamed bread."
The children looked at the women eagerly, all wanting to eat something dry.
The woman silently picked up the kettle and added more water to the bowl.
"Be obedient, and I'll make you some scallion pancakes later."
The so-called scallion pancake is a batter made of two-grain flour and water, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, and scooped into the pot to drain.
This kind of cake does not require oil, but it tastes very delicious.
It is one of the few delicacies in the house.
When the little kids heard that they could have scallion pancakes for lunch, they immediately waved their hands and cheered.
"Okay, there are scallion pancakes to eat."
"Mom, I don't want to drink water anymore. I want to save my stomach for scallion pancakes."
"If you don't want to drink, then I will. My stomach is still growling!"
The second child is a few years older than the third and fourth children, and is more mature mentally. He knows that even if there are scallion pancakes at noon, each person can only eat one piece, which is not enough to fill his stomach.
Therefore, drink more water in advance so that you can eat a full meal at noon.
So, the second child drank all the water in the bowl. He felt his stomach was bloated and his hunger was instantly gone.
"Burp~ I'm full!"
The second child wiped his mouth and ran to the yard to play.
Seeing this, the third and fourth brothers also shouted and chased after him, forgetting about being hungry.
Children are like this, they come and go quickly.
But the woman felt very uncomfortable.
Although she didn't have enough to eat every day, she felt sorry for her daughters.
If Gou Wa lives a down-to-earth life, the whole family may not live a wealthy life, but they can still have enough food to eat.
Unfortunately, Gou Wa is a lazy guy and he has to take care of the children at home, so his life has no hope at all.
......
In Shitun Commune, Yi Zhonghai parked his bicycle while panting, took out a towel from his pocket and wiped his face roughly.
The sun was very strong today, and Yi Zhonghai was very tired along the way.
The lady sitting in the back had no time to feel sorry for Yi Zhonghai, but instead urged him to ride faster.
So Yi Zhonghai chose to stand up and pedal, and rested three or four times on the way before he reached his destination.
"Quick, take me in."
The aunt thought that the houses in the commune belonged to Gou Wa's family, so she pushed Yi Zhonghai and asked him to lead the way.
Yi Zhonghai sighed and shouted a few times into the house.
"Is Secretary Shi here?"
The safest way was to ask Secretary Shi to take the two of them to Gou Wa's house.
Otherwise, what if that bastard Gou Wa turns against us?
"Hey, who is it?"
Secretary Shi's voice was heard from inside the room, and then he came out.
"Master Yi! Are you here to pick up the child and take him to the city?"
Secretary Shi was very concerned about this matter and knew that today was the day Yi Zhonghai would come to pick up the children.
Secretary Shi was very happy to see that Yi Zhonghai did not break his promise.
As long as Yi Zhonghai brings the child back to the city, Gou Wa's family problems will be completely resolved.
The child has a better home and Gou Wa's family has one less burden, killing two birds with one stone.
"Yes, yes. We were delayed by something the day before yesterday. Today, my husband and I want to bring the child home."
As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai took out a box of good cigarettes from his pocket, opened it and gave one to Secretary Shi.
This pack of cigarettes cost him two yuan, and it was the most expensive box in the supply and marketing cooperative.
In order to take the child away safely, Yi Zhonghai made all kinds of plans.
Secretary Shi took the cigarette, took a look at it, then put it behind his ear with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Gou Wa is probably waiting for you guys right now!"
Secretary Shi didn't waste any time and immediately led Yi Zhonghai and his wife towards Gou Wa's house.
"Er Ya, San Ya, is your father home?"
When Secretary Shi and his men arrived at Gou Wa's house, they only saw three girls playing with stones at the gate of the yard.
"My dad is sleeping in the room!"
"Mom, the Party Secretary is here to visit us!"
The second son recognized Secretary Shi and ran to call the women.
The woman was sewing socks in the house at the time. When she heard that Secretary Shi had come to their house, she quickly put down her work and went to the yard.
"Secretary Shi."
The woman shouted somewhat stiffly, and then turned her attention to Yi Zhonghai and the aunt.
If nothing unexpected happens, my children will have to call this couple father and mother in the future.
"Um, where is Huaihua?" Yi Zhonghai didn't see the child and suddenly became anxious.
"The youngest just fell asleep. I'll go get him out for you."
Although she was reluctant, the woman still quickly carried the child out.
Huaihua had just woken up, but was well-behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss.
Its big eyes looked at the strangers in the yard, and its little hands grasped things, looking very cute.
Seeing this, an old lady came over and looked at him carefully.
"This child is really popular!"
Yi Zhonghai was more straightforward. He reached out and pinched Huaihua's little hand.
Huaihua was not angry. Instead, she reached out and held Yi Zhonghai's fingers.
This action made Yi Zhonghai very happy. He felt that he and Huaihua had a special connection, as if they were destined to be father and daughter in this life!
The old lady was even happier. She reached into her cloth bag, took out a candy and put it into Huaihua's hand.
"Huahua, this is candy, milk candy!"
"Nonsense, the child is so young, you can't give her candy. What if she chokes?" Yi Zhonghai glared at the aunt and took the candy back.
The lady glared back without showing any weakness: "Do you think I don't understand? Giving candy to a child when meeting him/her means that the child will be sweet all his/her life. It's a good omen!"
Babies who are only a few months old cannot eat sweets!
Although the aunt has never given birth to a child, hasn't she seen others taking care of children?
This is common sense.
"Well, can I hold the child for a while?" The lady looked at the woman expectantly.
She loves this child so much and wants to feel what it feels like to hold a child in advance.
The woman said nothing but nodded.
The child is already registered with someone else, so what's wrong with holding him/her?
The couple will take the youngest child home later!
"Oh, this child is smiling at me, his smile is so sweet, just like he has eaten candy!" The auntie couldn't stop smiling.
