Xia Dingfeng was not full yet, so he held the hot braised pork with rice and wanted to eat it immediately.
"My family will have fried tofu with minced meat tomorrow. Uncle San, please bring Yu'er over!" Xia Qianqian put out the bait.
When Xia Dingfeng heard that there would be meat to eat tomorrow, his eyes lit up immediately: "Okay! Is it noon or evening tomorrow?"
"noon."
"Okay. Then I'll go first." Xia Dingfeng happily left with the meal.
Qin asked worriedly, "Qianqian, can Yu'er eat meat?"
"Yes." Xia Qianqian patted her chest and promised, "For the sake of minced meat and tofu tomorrow, Third Uncle will not deduct Yu'er's meal tonight."
Qin sighed, feeling very worried. When could she bring her son to her side to raise him
… …
The cold wind was howling, and Xia Dingfeng thought about the minced meat and tofu for tomorrow, so he tried to hold back his saliva and didn't sneakily eat the braised pork. However, he couldn't let his second brother know that he had gotten to eat the meat.
He carefully put the bowl in his arms and sneaked home, but he didn't dare go back to the house directly. Instead, he went around to the backyard, hid the bowl in the straw pile, and then went to the east wing to find Xia Yu.
Xia Dinghai was eating rice soup with pickles, slurping and enjoying the meal. Xia Yu was rubbing a rag in a basin of cold water, his hands red from the cold.
Maybe because he had eaten the meat from Xia Qianqian's house tonight, Xia Dingfeng felt particularly sorry for Xia Yu and said, "Second brother, you guys are really too much. You let Yu'er get cold water in the middle of winter."
"Someone has to do the housework. I can't keep him for nothing." Song snorted. It was good to keep Xia Yu. Since Xia Yu was adopted into her family, there was someone to share the housework.
"Don't bully others too much. Yu'er, come on, go and play with your uncle." Xia Dingfeng stepped forward and pulled Xia Yu up.
Xia Yu didn't dare to leave and looked at Song with fear.
Song asked curiously, "What are you doing in this freezing weather?"
"Go to my room and crack some melon seeds." Xia Dingfeng forcibly pulled Xia Yu away.
Xia Dinghai raised his head suddenly: "Did you get some meat to eat?"
Xia Dingfeng was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his hand to wipe his mouth. He was trying to cover up his mistake but it was too obvious!
"You are such a disgrace." Xia Dinghai threw the sledgehammer angrily. The pickled vegetable rice soup was delicious, but now he couldn't swallow it. The third child actually got some meat. If he had known, he would have gone to get some too!
"You're the one who finds it embarrassing, not me. Yu'er, let's go."
Xia Dingfeng took Xia Yu back to the west wing for a while, then went around to the backyard, took out the bowl from the straw pile, and handed it to Xia Yu: "Your mother and your sister gave you the braised pork, eat it quickly."
Xia Yu tore open the seal and his eyes lit up. There was not only meat in the bowl, but also rice! Although it was cold, it was still fragrant!
Xia Dingfeng glanced at Xia Yu's bowl and swallowed his saliva. He had only eaten two pieces of meat, but there were four or five pieces of meat in Xia Yu's bowl!
"Uncle San, have a piece." Xia Yu was also smart. He knew that he would have to rely on his uncle's help in the future, so he first picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xia Dingfeng's mouth before he started eating.
Xia Dingfeng was overjoyed: "Yu'er is so good. Don't let your uncle and aunt know that you ate meat today. I will take you to see your mother at noon tomorrow. Your eldest sister said that we will still have meat at noon tomorrow."
"Okay." Xia Yu was very happy and gave Xia Dingfeng another piece of meat.
It had been a long time since Xia Yu had eaten meat, and after finishing the meal he licked the bottom of the bowl, feeling extremely satisfied.
Suddenly I envied my younger sister because as a girl, she could follow her mother and elder sister. Whether eating meat or bran, being with family is his dream.
