Because of the poverty, Guo Nanxing's family usually does not turn on the lights at night. No matter what they do, even eating is done in the dark.
Of course, in the past two years, in addition to the Chinese New Year, their family has also started cooking at night, especially after Guo Nanxing lost his job of copying books for the bookstore. In most cases, he only ate one meal a day.
Just this meal is also the cheapest coarse grain and wild vegetable porridge.
Except for Guo’s mother who is over 50 years old, the bowls of others, including Guo Nanxing, are slightly thicker.
In order to fill their stomachs, many times, they have to dig grass roots and uncover tree bark to fill their hunger...
Tonight, since Lin Xu and Xia Dahai came, Guo Nanxing asked his daughter to light a bean yellow oil lamp.
When the lights were on, Lin Xu saw a girl wearing a patched long skirt squatting beside the corner of the wall, as if she was looking for something.
The girl of seven or eight years old is squatting there, like a thin stray cat.
"Xiaohe, what are you looking for?"
Guo Nanxing asked curiously.
"Dad, I'm looking for cockroaches. I cooked them for grandma later..."
The little girl was still trying hard to find the cockroach while replying weakly.
"Xiaohe!"
Guo Nanxing cried and said, "Stop looking for it again! Two uncles come to your house, come over and greet you."
The little girl stood up tremblingly, walked to Lin Xu and Xia Dahai, her voice weak, but she shouted politely: "Hello uncle..."
"Good boy!"
Lin Xu's nose felt sore and tears were almost flowing out.
In fact, after he was reborn into this world, he had seen many miserable lives of the people, but this moment made him feel sad!
Then, he said to Xia Dahai: "Dahai, take the food over and make a fire and cook!"
“There is something to eat?”
After all, Xiaohe is still a little girl. When she heard about food, her eyes immediately lit up!
"Yes, there is something to eat! I'll stew chicken soup and steam rice for you now, okay?"
Lin Xu squatted down and said to the little girl gently.
Xiaohe didn't dare to say anything, and looked up at her father.
"Thank you uncle!"
Guo Nanxing's eyes were filled with tears, and he said even more.
"Thank you uncle..."
Xiaohe then said excitedly.
"Xiao Lian, take Xiao He and go and help Uncle Xia!"
Guo Nanxing wiped the tears from his face, and there was a hint of trembling in his voice.
In the past two years, he has dreamed of letting his family have a good meal, but he does not have the ability. Today, with Lin Xu's help, he finally fulfilled this wish.
When he saw his two daughters who were extremely happy when they heard that they were going to cook, he really felt that he was a father in vain, and at the same time he was deeply grateful to Lin Xu!
Xia Dahai took two little girls to cook, while Lin Xu, accompanied by Guo Nanxing, went to visit his bedridden old mother. This chapter has been completed!
