The three children were sallow and skinny, with disheveled hair. None of their black feet had shoes on. The clothes on their bodies were dirty and torn, with patches piled on top of each other. The youngest child must be wearing her sister's clothes, which are three long and seven.

short.

Although children in this era do not have enough nutrition, these three children are extremely thin, with nothing more than skin and bones.

"Sister, are you about to give birth? You can't think about it anymore in the future."

Gu Wanjun really didn't know what to say, so she could only warn her like this.

"Hey, life is hard. My husband usually sells some rat poison. When he gets money, he drinks alcohol and beats people when he is drunk. He beats adults and children. My mother-in-law and father-in-law died early, and I raised three children by myself.

, what’s the point of living without enough food and clothing?”

Zhang Mei's tears fell again as she spoke.

Liu Chen said nothing, feeling sour.

Soon everyone arrived at the state-owned hotel where they had just eaten. When the service staff saw that it was Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun, they changed their disdainful expressions and became enthusiastic. This might be some kind of leader, but we still can't neglect them. These two people just now

I personally ordered a lot, and now I have received four more, so this dish will definitely not be lacking.

Gu Wanjun found a seat and took everyone to sit down, while Liu Chen went to order food.

Braised pork, braised fish, braised eggplant, half a catty of dumplings, the meat buns are gone, a catty of dumplings, plus a meatball soup.

The children sat on the stools and looked left and right to see where they had been in this place.

Zhang Mei wiped the tears on her face, lowered her head and said, "Don't order so much, I don't have any money."

"It's okay, just feel free to eat. You don't have to worry about the money."

Gu Wanjun touched the youngest girl's hair and said, "Wait a moment, dinner will be here soon."

"Well, thank you, thank you very much." Zhang Mei didn't know what to say, so she just nodded one by one.

"Big girl, second girl, third girl, thank you brother and sister. Kowtow to your brother and sister quickly."

After listening to their mother's words, the three children all stood up from their stools and prepared to kowtow to Gu Wanjun and Liu Chen.

"No, no, sit down quickly, the meal will be ready soon."

After waiting for a while, Liu Chen brought the food to the table. Looking at the meat on the table, the three children's eyes widened and their saliva flowed down.

"It's meat, mom. Look, it's really meat."

"Sister, look, it's meat."

The child screamed when he saw the meat.

The third girl, Zhang Mei's youngest daughter, went up to grab it with her hands, but her mother knocked her hand, and she immediately retracted her hand and licked the fingers that had been dipped in broth.

"Eat."

Liu Chen handed out the kuaizi one by one, indicating that everyone could eat.

The children who got the kuaizi immediately picked up the big meat, put it in their mouths, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Liu Chen looked at the child's eating appearance and finally understood the artistic conception of the words "devouring food like a tiger, eating without choosing food, swallowing jujubes wholeheartedly, and sweeping away the remaining clouds with the wind".

"Slow down, slow down, don't hold it in." Gu Wanjun looked at the children's eating postures, which were even uglier than her own.

“Delicious, really delicious.”

"Mom, this meat is so delicious."

"Here, have some soup."

Liu Chen came with meatball soup.

The rule of not making any noise when eating and chewing slowly is really not applicable now. That is when people are not hungry yet. When people are hungry to a certain level, they want to fill their stomachs with one mouthful. The feeling of being hungry is really

It's not pleasant.

Soon, all the food on the table was gone.

The little girl picked up the braised pork plate again and added to the plate.

"Stop licking, aren't you full?"

"When I'm full, there's oily soup on the plate. I want to lick it clean."

"Would you like some more?"

Liu Chen stopped Gu Wanjun. It was not that he was stingy and refused to eat, but that everyone was hungry for a long time and could not eat so much at once, as it would easily hurt the stomach.

"No, I'm full. I'm really full."

After so many years, this is the best meal Zhang Meiniang and others have had.

"Let's go when we're full."

Gu Wanjun took the children out, and Liu Chen followed after paying for the meal.

"Thank you very much. Thank you very much. This is the best meal I have ever had. I would be willing to die."

Zhang Mei bowed to Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun again to express her gratitude.

"Look what you said, I must live well in the future, and I must live well for the sake of my children."

"Come on, let's take you home."

Liu Chen mainly wanted to see this husband who was not a toy. How could such a man calm people's hearts if he didn't give him a good treatment?

"No, we don't want to go home."

"Mom, if I don't go home, dad will beat me."

When the three children heard that they were being sent home, they all pulled on their mother's clothes and shook their heads not to go home.

What kind of family is this that makes the children afraid to even go home?

Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun were even more angry after hearing this. If such a man didn't give him political lessons, he really wouldn't know why the flowers were so red.

"The man was drunk today and beat me. Later, the children stopped him from beating me, so he beat the children. Look at it."

Zhang Mei cried and lifted up her daughter's clothes. The children's arms were bruised and purple, and some had marks one by one. They must have been beaten with something like a tree stick.

"What a bastard, no one cares?"

"Who cares? My mother-in-law and father-in-law were not here, and others told him. At first he listened, but later he still beat me when he was drunk. I was also a drag on the children. I blamed myself for not living up to expectations and never giving birth to a boy.

, we can’t continue the family lineage, he should hit me, but we can’t hit the children.”

Zhang Mei cried louder as she spoke. The children looked at their mother crying and started to cry too.

"Come on, take me to see him. I will teach him a lesson today. He is really lawless."

Liu Chen was filled with anger at this moment. If he didn't vent it out, he wouldn't be able to sleep or eat.

It's all caused by the ignorance and patriarchal preference of this era. My eldest sister is like this, and now here comes Zhang Mei.

But it is wrong for a man to beat his wife and children and should be stopped.

Zhang Mei led everyone to her home.

After crossing a few streets, turning a few corners, and walking through a few alleys, we arrived at Zhang Mei's home.

This is in the suburbs of the county. The house is a very dilapidated bungalow, similar to Wang Xiong's house.

Pushing open the door and walking in, the yard is filled with bumpy dirt roads and some vegetables are planted on the edge of the yard.

"Come in."

Zhang Mei led everyone inside.

"Where did you die? I'm thirsty. Please give me water quickly."

I only heard the sound of a man shouting in the room.

"Mom, mom."

When the children heard the man's voice, they were frightened and hid beside Zhang Mei.
