Most people in Miaoqian Village eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. However, families with better conditions will have an extra meal at noon, which is called "snack".
Their family was not well off, so they only had two meals, breakfast around nine in the morning and dinner around four in the afternoon.
Because there is no timing tool, the time is not accurate. It just depends on when Jin Xiaoye cooks.
Today's cowpea and brown rice porridge is Jin Xiaoye's dinner.
After drinking the porridge, Jin Xiaoye said hello to Li Damao and Li Ermao, then went out to work in the fields.
Firstly, the days are long in the summer and it is still daylight now. Secondly... it is hot now and many people go to work early in the morning or late in the evening.
Jin Xiaoye was worried that those gossipers in the village would come to disturb Li Qingzhi. If these people said something unpleasant, it would be even worse... She deliberately closed the door before leaving.
Li Qingzhi just lay at home, talking to his two sons.
When he just woke up, he had difficulty speaking. Now, after eating two meals, he has finally recovered a little. At the same time, the more he looks at Li Damao and Li Ermao, the more he likes them.
These two children are very dark and thin. If they were in the world before the apocalypse, they would be worse than refugees. But in the eyes of Li Qingzhi, who has experienced the apocalypse, these two children are really good in every way.
Li Qingzhi asked Li Damao and Li Ermao to lie down beside him, one on each side, then held their little hands and told them stories.
The apocalypse he experienced was not just about humans turning into zombies, but also plants and animals turning into zombies due to pollution. The ubiquitous pollution devoured all life, except for him, who remained alive because of his special abilities.
Compared with other people with special abilities, his golden finger had almost no combat power, so he survived alone most of the time, and he unexpectedly survived until the last moment.
During the years when he lived alone, he would read various books and novels when he had nothing to do.
For Li Qingzhi, who has read a lot of novels, making up stories for children is not a difficult task at all.
Thinking of the two children who had gone to feed chickens during the day, he told them a story about two children who helped a landlord raise chickens. The landlord paid them an egg a day. One of the children ate the eggs every day, leaving nothing behind. The other child saved the eggs and exchanged them for chicks. Later, when the landlord stopped asking them to work, the first child could no longer eat eggs, but the second child could still eat eggs and even chicken...
After telling the story, Li Qingzhi took out the two eggs that Jin Xiaoye gave him and shared them with the two children.
He ate one by himself, and Li Damao and Li Ermao each ate half.
Li Damao looked at the eggs and said, "Dad, let's not eat them. Let's use the eggs to exchange for Xiao □□!"
"You really don't want to eat it? The eggs are delicious!" Li Qingzhi peeled the egg and took a bite.
The egg white and yolk blend in your mouth, and the wonderful taste spreads on the tip of your tongue...
Li Ermao immediately said, "I want to eat eggs."
Li Damao was also greedy, but he still said, "Mom said that these two eggs are for Dad to eat so that he can recover from his illness."
This child is so filial!
Li Qingzhi couldn't bear to eat the eggs himself and let the two children watch, so he broke the eggs for the two children and gave them one portion each: "Eat it, Dad has already eaten at noon, this is for you."
