Su Qiao swallowed.
Her stomach was growling with hunger.
If she didn't feel that going out now would attract too much attention, she would have gone hunting in the mountains.
Putting the big bowl on the table, Zhou Lihua took out a tinder from her bosom and lit the kerosene lamp on the wall. She then took out two cornmeal steamed buns from her jacket pocket and handed them to her: "Don't forget mother when you have something delicious in the future, okay?"
Su Qiao took it, swallowed most of it in one gulp, and nodded vaguely: "Okay."
Zhou Lihua looked at the greasy bowl and swallowed her saliva: "Then what about the chicken leg..."
"for you."
Su Qiao picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it directly into her big mouth.
"My daughter is a man of her words. If she said she would give me a chicken leg, she would give me a chicken leg."
The aroma of meat in her mouth made Zhou Lihua smile immediately. She grabbed the chicken leg bone and started to chew it.
"Sister, I want to eat chicken legs too."
Xiao Haozi pushed the door open and rushed in, staring at the big bowl in Su Qiao's hand and swallowing his saliva.
Zhou Lihua didn't care about the grease on her hands and directly reached out to push her son out: "Go, go, go, go, get out of the way, this is for your sister's body, don't you know?"
"Your sister is a great hero for the family this time. She put in a lot of effort to save your grandfather. When she got home, her legs were shaking and she couldn't even stand."
Xiao Haozi knew that it was useless to beg his mother, so he just stared at Su Qiao expectantly with his big black and white eyes: "Sister, I listened to you and came back to report the news."
Zhou Lihua glanced at him with disdain: "Are you coming back to report the news? You are a coward, you just run away by yourself."
"With someone like you, I can't count on your mother anymore. If anything goes wrong, you'll have to rely on your sister to save you."
After saying that, she looked at her daughter flatteringly: "Daughter, right?"
"If Mom encounters such a thing, you will definitely save her, right?"
Su Qiao asked why she suddenly changed her attitude towards herself. She actually helped her wash the big basin of dirty clothes and quilts in the afternoon. It turned out that it was not just for the chicken drumstick, but also for this...
No matter what, this is the original body's mother. If something really happens, she can still be saved.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything bad, I have to save you."
We’ll see what happens then, but we still have to give it hope.
Zhou Lihua was happy: "I know my daughter treats me well."
"I... I'm not." Xiao Hao's face turned red with embarrassment. He really wanted to say that he was not a coward or afraid of death.
Su Qiao patted his little shoulder soothingly: "It was my sister who asked Xiaohao to run home first to report the news. It's not that Xiaohao is timid and afraid of death. Besides, Xiaohao is still young, so it's normal for him to be scared."
"Here, this chicken leg is a reward for you."
The little guy was only eight years old. Although he often fought and robbed things with other kids in the village and acted lawless, those were just minor fights.
Unlike this time, unlike this time, he almost lost his life. The mountain in his heart, his grandfather who was the backbone of the family, and his sister almost didn't come back.
I guess he was really scared this time and didn't make as much noise as before. He stayed in the house obediently the whole day and didn't make a fuss about going out to play.
Xiao Haozi was holding a chicken leg in his hand and suddenly felt that the chicken leg was not so fragrant.
"Sister, I... I will definitely not run away next time."
"No, next time you run into something like this, you'll have to run."
"You should do things within your capabilities. You are small and weak, so the best choice at that time was to run away and not drag me down."
If he hadn't run away at that time, Su Qiao would probably be in more trouble.
