Chapter 18: Rushing is not a good deal

Xie Jinghao looked at this family and Liu Sanjin's attitude and knew that both Shen Meng and the children would go hungry at noon today. While feeding Xiaogang, she was thinking about what else she could eat in her room.

After Lu Mingyang and his younger brothers and sisters handed in the pig grass and recorded their work points, they started to go home. Lu Mingyang, who was originally chattering, became silent as he got closer to home.

Lu Mingfang was so scared that she didn't even dare to move forward.

Looking at the appearance of his younger brother and sister, Lu Mingyang's face darkened and he held Lu Mingkai's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid. When you get home, just go back to your room. I'll find you something to eat. If mom gets angry and hits someone, just hit me. Don't be afraid."

Anyway, as long as I don't beat him to death, I will make this vicious woman pay the price when he grows up.

"Brother, how about I go with you? Even if we get beaten, we can do it together. It won't hurt so much if we each take half."

"No need, just take care of your brothers and sisters." After saying that, Lu Mingyang pulled Lu Mingkai and walked towards home.

Lu Mingfang and Lu Mingliang looked at each other and hurriedly followed behind. They both decided in their hearts that they would stand with their brother and not let him get beaten alone.

After the children entered the yard, they stopped running towards the west house. The aroma wafting from the kitchen made the children turn their heads frequently, and even Lu Mingyang began to swallow his saliva.

"Brother, smell it, it smells really good, what did that bad mother do?"

Lu Mingyang didn't say anything, but he snorted in his heart. How could a bad woman cook for them, and the food smelled so good? It was possible that someone else had prepared it and sent it to them. It was hard to say if there was anything left after she had eaten it.

"Are you back?" Shen Meng came out of the kitchen with a slightly bent waist, with no extra expression on her face. She knew very well that what she was chasing was not a business, but to live in peace with these children or to improve their relationship. It would not be achieved overnight and there would be a long way to go.

Lu Mingliang and several other children were still inhaling the aroma. The youngest, Lu Mingkai, opened his mouth greedily. When he saw Shen Meng suddenly speak, he was so scared that he forgot to move.

"Mother is not well yet, so I cooked some noodles and served them to you. Go and eat. If it's not enough, there's more in the sand basin. Mother will lie down on the kang first. After dinner, Mingyang will wash the dishes. Don't go to work in the afternoon. Go collect some firewood. From now on, we will be the only ones living together. It seems that your grandmother doesn't care whether we live or die. You should be more diligent and collect more firewood so that we can cook."

As Shen Meng spoke, he stroked his head and slowly moved towards his room.

After she left, Lu Mingliang ran towards the kitchen. There were four bowls of steaming hot noodles on the small low table in the kitchen. There was a fried egg on each bowl, which was golden brown and looked delicious.

He ran out of the kitchen excitedly.

"Brother, there really is noodles. There are fried golden eggs on the noodles. They smell delicious. There is also a plate of smashed cucumbers. Let's eat quickly."

The noodles were so delicious, and there were a few green vegetables next to the browned eggs. The aroma made his stomach growl with greed, which was really unbearable. Lu Mingkai and Lu Mingfang also looked at him, and they couldn't say no. Lu Mingyang nodded. Even if he didn't want to eat, his brothers and sisters couldn't be hungry. Didn't the bad woman just say that they should go to see Chaihe, so that they could eat enough and go to work.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyang straightened his back.

"Go eat, don't waste the food, we won't eat for nothing, after we have eaten our fill we will go collect firewood, the little firewood in the yard is not enough to burn for two days!"

"it is good."

Shen Meng seemed to have returned to the house, but in fact she had been hunched over the window, observing the movements of the children. Today she had just boiled a pot of water and cooked two handfuls of handmade noodles. The soup base and side dishes were all broth and organic vegetables taken from the space, so the taste was naturally needless to say.

No one can escape the temptation of delicious food, let alone a few children. Using delicious food to attract the little ones is of course the first step.

Shen Meng did not eat with the children. It was obvious that these children did not want to eat with her. If she were there, they would probably not dare to eat.

Seeing that they all went to the kitchen, Shen Meng lay on the kang with peace of mind. There was not much food at home, and she couldn't rely on the Lu family. They might even use moral blackmail on her to make her take out the food. After all, it would only be a few days before Lu Zhenping sent money home.

Shen Meng was planning to do something. She was a little tired after feeding the children just now. She hadn't used the earthen stove for many years. She had struck a match several times but failed to light it. And the bellows, she didn't know if it had been kicked by Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan when they moved away, so it was very difficult to use.

I went into the space and ate some bird's nest porridge and some light side dishes before lying down to rest. Everything else has to wait until I recover my body.

Several children in the kitchen quickly devoured four bowls of noodles. Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingliang, the two half-grown boys, were naturally not full. Lu Mingliang was still thinking about the sand basin that Shen Meng mentioned. After he opened it, he found that there were indeed some noodles in it. He did not hesitate at all and scooped them into his own bowl, and put some of the rest into Lu Mingyang's bowl.

"Brother, eat something. I don't know if there will be anything to eat in the evening. Eat more. Let's collect more firewood in the afternoon and let Mingkai and Mingfang rest at home. The sun will be too hot in the afternoon."

"Brother, let Mingkai stay at home. I'll go with you. I've eaten so much. If I don't work, Mom will be angry." Maybe it was because of the delicious bowl of noodles, or maybe it was because Shen Meng made it despite her serious injuries, Lu Mingfang suddenly felt that the bad woman was not that bad. After all, she had treated them well before. If it weren't for the second aunt and the little aunt who always said that, Mom would not have changed.

Lu Mingkai pouted and said nothing. He didn't want to be home alone. If his mother saw him alone, she would pinch him if she was unhappy.

"You stay with Mingkai, Mingliang and I will go collect firewood. What if our little brother is home alone and gets bullied? The bad woman just cooked a meal for us, don't think you are so good, who knows when she will beat us again." Lu Mingliang stuffed noodles into his mouth while preaching to Lu Mingfang. He obviously felt that his sister had softened her heart.

Lu Mingyang didn't say anything, but he had the same idea in his mind. He was not afraid of being treated badly or beating or scolding him, but he was afraid of being treated well by suddenly. Before, his aunt had said that sending them away would save food for the family. It's not that the bad woman hadn't thought about it, but she didn't dare to because she was afraid that his father would stop sending money home.

He was always afraid of this matter, so he always took his younger brother and sister together no matter what he did, and they would never be separated. Today, the bad woman actually prepared it for them, and it was so good, with white flour and fine grain noodles, and eggs, and it was greasy on top. If she didn't want to do something bad, she must have been struck by lightning.

He agreed with Mingliang's idea of ​​leaving Mingfang and Mingkai at home, and also wanted to see what the bad woman wanted to do.
