If breakfast was unacceptable to Shen August, then lunch was a huge disappointment to her.

Looking at the four bowls on the dining table, Shen August's eyes became moist again.

Stir-fried cabbage with oil, wild vegetable egg soup, pickled pickled radish, and a bowl filled with leftover wild vegetable steamed buns from breakfast.

By the way, there is also the staple food - corn steamed buns.

The young Shen August couldn't understand why there was such a thing on the dinner table at home!

When Zhang Chunnuan came home from work, she was jumped by Shen August, who was guarding the door as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"Mom, mom, I'm so hungry, I want to eat some meat!"

Zhang Chunnuan said "Are you hungry?" It must be because you didn't have enough breakfast.

The steamed buns with wild vegetables are enough, and there are also steamed eggs. Who’s to blame for not being full?

She washed her hands and called her family to prepare dinner.

Sitting at the dining table in the main room, Zhang Chunnuan raised his eyebrows as he looked at the food on the table, picked up a hot wild vegetable steamed bun and started to nibble on it.

After working in the fields for a long time, she was already hungry!

"Mom! Woohoo..." Shen Auguste cried.

"Pa-" Zhang Chunnuan slapped the chopsticks on the table, looking at Shen August with a cold face and stern eyes, "If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hinder others from eating at the table!"

Shen August was stunned for a moment, and then "Wow wow wow--" burst into tears.

Zhang Chunnuan raised her hand and pinched the corners of her eyes, took a long breath, and said with fatigue in her tone: "Stop crying."

Seeing her like this, the mistress put down her bowls and chopsticks, murmured for a moment, and asked, "Auntie, is there something going on at home?"

Because of Shen Auguste's crying, the mistress's questions were completely muffled, and only some of them could be heard vaguely.

Fortunately, Zhang Chunnuan had a strong ear and could hear his question completely.

Just as she was about to answer, she heard Shen Auguste's crying getting louder and louder, like a demonic sound piercing her ears.

Zhang Chunnuan looked over and saw his little daughter opening her mouth and crying loudly, with tears falling down her cheeks. Nuan's son also didn't eat anymore, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and was standing around anxiously.

She frowned tightly and was about to speak when she saw Wang Xinyu, who was nibbling on steamed buns, put down his chopsticks and quickly covered Shen Auguste's mouth as he cried loudly.

Zhang Chunnuan then said: "Our family has no money..."

When she said this, she frowned and looked sad.

Father Shen was sitting opposite. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look up at her and opened his mouth to add:

"In August, all the money left by you and Shiqi's father has been used up. The family has no money. Now it is your mother who works to earn work points to support the whole family, so don't make trouble and let your mother eat in peace first. "

After hearing what Father Shen said, the children at the dinner table had different thoughts.

Shen Shiqi: I want to eat more, grow up quickly, and earn money for my mother!

Shen August: Wow, oh, will mom not want me anymore if she has no money?!

Mistress: My aunt just gave me and Xiaoyu pocket money before going to school in the morning. Why do you say that we have no money now?

Wang Xinyu: Little August’s mouth is really big, she shouldn’t bite me, right?

Afterwards, the family of six continued to eat. No one spoke at the dinner table, except for Shen August's sobs from time to time.

After dinner, the mistress went back to the room, took out the pocket money she had saved, and handed it to Zhang Chunnuan, who was about to go back to the room and take a rest.

"..." Zhang Chunnuan looked at the money handed to him and was silent for three seconds. Then he looked at the mistress and said, "You can keep it for yourself to buy stationery. You don't have to give it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xinyu also came over with a stack of banknotes.

There was another hand in front of Zhang Chunnuan handing out money.

With two pieces of pocket money placed in front of him, Zhang Chunnuan could clearly see that Wang Xinyu's pocket money was at least several times that of the mistress.

Let alone the size of the denomination, there is no comparison between the two in terms of thickness alone.

Zhang Chunnuan looked around and saw Shen Shiqi holding Shen August, comforting her, so she walked towards the backyard: "You two, follow me."

She had no intention of telling the truth to the mistress and Wang Xinyu.

It's okay for Wang Xinyu to say that he rarely talks to outsiders outside, but the same cannot be said for the mistress.

But seeing the two of them giving themselves the pocket money they had saved, Zhang Chunnuan suddenly felt that the children had grown up and become sensible, and it was time for them to participate in family affairs.

Therefore, when Xiao Sanzi and Wang Xinyu came to the backyard, they heard Zhang Chunnuan explain the tense situation outside and her plans with Zhou Haoran and Father Shen.

The mistress couldn't believe it and confirmed: "So our family has money, but we just want to pretend that we don't?"

With a thought in his mind, Zhang Chunnuan glanced at the piles of various materials in the farm warehouse, the banknotes and receipts in his house, and the leather suitcase filled with gold ingots——

With this wealth, it’s not too much to admit that the family has money...

She nodded and said to the two of them: "Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else. It will be fine for you two to read to the end."

The mistress then took back the money and muttered: "Just pretending to be outside, but you have to pretend to be eating at home..."

"Ahem!" Zhang Chunnuan coughed twice, interrupting his thoughts.

After seeing Wang Xinyu carefully taking back the money, she said again: "You two, don't let me off the hook. This is not a small matter, but a matter of life and death for our family!"

In order to get the two of them to cooperate, Zhang Chunnuan deliberately made the situation and consequences more serious.

By the time the three of them returned to the main room from the backyard, the mistress already had a hopeless face on her face and started crying while holding the twins.

"Seventeenth and August, my younger brothers and sisters, from now on my brother will eat less and let you two eat more. You must grow up quickly!"

Wang Xinyu rolled her eyes at him and went back to hide her pocket money.

…

After two months of this, the weather has warmed up, and the Shen family, like other families in the village, changed from their thick cotton-padded jackets to slightly thinner jackets.

At this time, the four children of the Shen family were shocked to realize that the jackets they made last year and the year before were too small.

Especially for Xiaosanzi and Wang Xinyu, who are still in their growth stage, the sleeves of their shirts are both shorter.

After two months of frugal living, Zhang Chunnuan felt slightly relieved when he saw the oily shine on his family's faces fade away.

At this time, she was working in the fields when she suddenly heard a familiar roar in the distance.

The team members who heard the sound in the ground straightened up and looked around.

I saw two black cars driving slowly on the dirt road entering the village.

"What is that?"

"It looks like a car..."

"You know it's a car again? You're bragging!"

"Believe it or not, I saw someone driving a car like that once when I went to the county!"

"Could it be that the leaders of the county came to our village?!"

"..."

Amid the commotion, the car got closer and closer.

Only then did everyone see several bicycles following the car and a group of people following the bicycles.
