Allure of a Country Maiden

"Damn it, Xiao'er is ready to eat." Shen Chengyao came in holding a tray with two bowls of porridge and three steamed buns on it. Mrs. Liu got busy and moved a kang table and placed it on the kang. Xiaoer propped up her body with her hands and sat up. Smelling the aroma of the food, she suddenly felt hungry.

Shen Chengyao placed the tray on the Kang table. Xiaoer was dumbfounded. Is this porridge or porridge water? There are only a few grains of rice in the whole bowl of porridge, and there are only three steamed buns. Who can eat it? Xiao'er glanced at Mrs. Liu and saw that her expression was as usual. She was not surprised at all. It could be seen that dinner was usually like this, and soon the memory of the original owner's meal also appeared in his mind. The food must be improved as soon as possible, Xiaoer secretly made a decision.

"Xiao'er, eat quickly. You've been hungry for more than a day." Ms. Liu picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Xiao'er.

"Xiao'er, eat more. Daddy has one more here." Shen Chengyao took out a steamed bun from his arms and put it on the plate.

When Mrs. Liu saw this, she hesitated to speak. She was heartbroken for her husband, but she was also heartbroken for her own child. When my husband brought out a steamed bun, it meant that he only ate a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge for dinner. He had been working in the fields for a day. How could he eat such a small amount? The child had lost so much blood, hadn't eaten for a day, and didn't even have an egg to replenish her body. I was really helpless.

Xiao'er knew from the memory of the original owner that the Shen family had porridge and wowotou for dinner. Each person had a bowl of gruel, two wowotou for each adult, and one for each child. And my cheap father must have saved one from his share.

At this time, Shen Jingrui and Shen Jinghao walked into the room. They both took out a bunch of buns from their arms and put them on the plate.

"Mom, Xiao'er is eating steamed buns."

"Mom, sister is eating steamed buns."

"You two kids, eat it yourself!" Mrs. Liu's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and her voice was a little whimpering. My children are really sensible and filial. Even at a young age, I know how to care for people, but how can it be enough if they only drink a bowl of porridge and water at night?

Xiaoer was also a little touched. It seemed that this family all loved each other. It's time to be content with being born again and having a family that loves each other just as much as in the previous life. It doesn't matter if your family is poor, this can be changed, but a family that loves each other and is united is rare.

"I just woke up. I have no appetite and can't eat that much." Xiaoer said against her will. God knows, she's so hungry right now that she could eat a cow.

"You three, eat quickly, or I won't eat either." Mrs. Liu feigned anger.

The last three people had no choice but to eat an extra half each. Xiaoer ate half of the remaining food, and Liu ate one. Xiaoer said that she would eat more so that her sister wouldn't be hungry, so Liu was willing to eat it.

After eating, Shen Chengyao brought another bowl of medicine for Xiaoer to drink, and then the family simply freshened up and went to bed. Ancient people usually worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.

Xiaoer originally wanted to tell her parents about Shen Chengzong and Li's plan to sell her to the Hu family to be a mistress, but after thinking about it, she decided not to tell her, and pretended not to know, to see if those two people dared to They don't dare to sell her. If they dare to sell her, she can find a way to make their own daughter a flower girl.

The morning light of early autumn has been dyed with a layer of light gold, spreading on one wall of the farmyard, making it soft and warm.

After Xiaoer woke up, she moved a little. After resting for a few days, she felt much stronger and her wounds were no longer so painful.

"Xiao'er is awake. Come on, mother, help you get dressed." Mrs. Liu was leaning against the wall while embroidering handkerchiefs. When she noticed that Xiao'er woke up, she quickly put down her sewing work, picked up Xiao'er's coat, and planned to put it on for her. .

"Mom, I can do it myself." Xiaoer quickly took the clothes and put them on neatly. She is not a real child and is really not used to adults helping her get dressed.

After Xiaoer got dressed, she fetched water and washed herself based on the memory of the original owner. Back in the room, Mrs. Liu had already set up the kang table, with a bowl of porridge water called porridge and two small black steamed buns on it. Seeing two black steamed buns, Xiaoer knew that Mrs. Liu had specially left her share for herself. She felt warm in her heart, picked up a steamed bun and handed it directly to Mrs. Liu's mouth.

"Mom, I can't eat so much, please help me eat one."

"I've eaten. If you're not hungry now, you can eat." Mrs. Liu smiled and pushed Xiao'er's hand away.

"Mom, my hands are sore when I lift them. Eat quickly!" Xiaoer said and stuffed the steamed bun into Mrs. Liu's mouth. In modern times, as the youngest and only princess of the Shen family, Shen Xiaoxiao has been acting like a spoiled child since childhood.

"You kid, your mother even said you wouldn't eat it." Mrs. Liu turned her head and avoided it.

"This steamed bun has touched my mother's mouth. I won't eat my mother's saliva. Take it quickly, my hands are so sore!" Xiaoer pretended to be tired and shook her hands.

"You kid, why are you so particular?" Ms. Liu reluctantly took the steamed bun and started eating it.

After breakfast, Xiaoer looked through Liu's sewing basket boredly and picked up a half-embroidered purse inside. There was a lotus embroidered on it. There was still one leaf left to embroider, but the lotus could already be seen. Slim and lifelike, Liu's embroidery skills are obviously very good. It seems that I will have to study hard in the future. For the knowledge that I don't understand, Xiaoer had a tireless learning spirit in his previous life.

"Mom, this purse is almost finished. Why don't you embroider the purse first and then embroider the handkerchief?"

"Your sister-in-law was eager to use this veil, so I embroidered it first."

"Oh." Xiaoer agreed and continued to look through the things in the basket. Xiao'er is also a top-notch young lady. She loves to eat and is lazy to cook. She is quite pretty when she waits for herself. Her heart is as high as the sky.

Xiaoer saw a white stone under the basket. When she picked it up, she found that the shape was similar to that of a swan. The texture was smooth, not jade. She didn't know what the material was. It looked pretty. It should be some kind of rare metal ore. From memory, I know that the original owner picked it up by the river, and it was also a toy that the original owner liked very much. Xiaoer put down the stone and continued to look through it. Her finger was accidentally pricked by the needle on the purse embroidery thread, and a drop of blood immediately came out. When she retracted her hand, the blood drop rubbed onto the white stone, and then the stone disappeared out of thin air.

"Ah!" Xiaoer exhaled softly in surprise.

Mrs. Liu was helping her little sister change her diaper. When she heard the cry, she looked up and thought she had just been pricked by a needle, so she lowered her head and continued changing her diaper.

"You kid, there's a needle in the basket, be careful when you look through it."

"Mom, the white stone is gone." Xiaoer was extremely surprised.

"Is it missing? It was put in the basket before. Maybe Hao'er took it to play with. Why don't you ask him before he comes back." Ms. Liu has not had time to embroider in the past few days. When she just took the needle and thread to embroider the handkerchief, He didn't pay attention to whether the stone was there, just because the original owner often played with the stone, and now he woke up and started looking for the stone again. He couldn't help but regard Xiaoer's surprise as being anxious.

When she came back to her senses, Xiaoer intuitively couldn't tell her about the stone disappearing out of thin air. Ancient people were superstitious and it would be scary to tell such a thing.

"Oh, I remembered it. I dropped it when I took it out to play that time and couldn't find it." Fortunately, Mrs. Liu had just been busy changing her little sister's diaper and didn't notice that she had picked up the stone.
