HCB Chapter 583 Oh, the food is pretty good.
Chapter 583 Oh, the food is pretty good.
Dazhuang stared wide-eyed, thinking he had misheard.
He knew their true identities—unwanted little beggars—and that the heroine was already being very kind by taking them home and giving them a place to stay.
But now, the heroine not only gave them a bath and changed them into clean clothes, but also wanted to feed them rice porridge, rice soup, and steamed buns.
Shocked beyond belief, "Really? Really?"
Lin Chang'er frowned, "This is what the old doctor said. If you've been starving for a long time and then suddenly eat and drink a lot, it can easily damage your stomach and intestines. Even worse, it might..."
She didn't need to say anything more; the younger children already showed expressions of terror.
Of course, this wasn't something the old woman doctor told her; such scenes are common in later films and television shows.
Dazhuang was now certain he hadn't misheard, and nodded hurriedly, "Understood, I'll keep an eye on my younger siblings and make sure they don't steal food."
He clenched his fist, making a solemn vow, as if it were an extremely difficult task.
Lin Chang'er was satisfied with his statement and affirmed it. With her hands behind her back, she led a group of children to collect the porridge.
Lin Chang'er was very picky about food; the rice her family ate was always expensive.
They spared no expense in making porridge, cooking a whole pot of it until it was covered in rice oil, and you could smell the aroma of rice as soon as you got a little closer.
Da Zhuang and the others only glanced at it before swallowing hard several times.
This is rice porridge! Rice porridge without a single impurity, rice porridge so thick that chopsticks can stand upright in it. They had never eaten rice porridge like this since they could remember.
However, with Lin Chang'er's imposing presence, although the little ones were practically drooling, none of them dared to snatch it.
They all looked at Lin Chang'er, their eyes filled with longing.
Lin Chang'er was fairly satisfied with the children's performance. She nodded to Sister-in-law Gu and said, "First, give the youngest children a few bowls of rice and oil. The others can line up to get theirs. They can get more when they finish, but no waste is allowed. Each person can drink a maximum of one and a half bowls."
There was no other way. It wasn't that she was stingy; it was just that food was precious, and she was afraid that if they suddenly had food, they wouldn't be able to control themselves and would overeat like goldfish.
Lin Chang'er returned from the provincial capital. Although she had eaten at the Chen family's house, she was still hungry after such a long drive.
Too lazy to go next door for seafood noodles, she just got some porridge. Aunt Gu thoughtfully prepared a side dish of small fish, peanuts, pickled vegetables, and shredded pork for her. "I saw there were also stir-fried clams and prawns over there. Wait a minute, I'll go get you another plate."
Lin Chang'er took a sip of porridge and hurriedly called out to her, "Sister-in-law, don't bother. The children have all started eating. You should eat something too."
"It won't make a difference if it's just a little while!" Sister-in-law Gu waved her hand. It wasn't a matter of just a little time to get her a plate of food. The whole family depended on her to support them, so how could she skimp on her food? That was not something a human being would do.
Mother might not remember for a while, but as the eldest sister-in-law, she couldn't forget.
Soon, Aunt Gu brought back a full plate of stir-fried clams and prawns for her.
With so many people and not enough empty seats, Lin Chang'er found a tree stump in the yard, placed both dishes on it, and then found a stone to use as a chair.
Just as they sat down, Lin Beishan and Bai He and his wife came over.
Lin Beishan was carrying two bowls of noodles, Bai He was pushing a stroller, and Yu Dian was lying in the stroller with a baby bottle for a snack.
Gu Ersao recovered well after giving birth, and Lin Chang'er also specially raised ewes, so Yudian'er's granary was always full.
So the family wasn't in a hurry to give him complementary foods, and they'll wait until after the New Year, when he's six months old, to slowly introduce them.
Upon seeing their daughter, Lin Beishan and his wife immediately turned slightly and walked towards Lin Chang'er. As if sensing this, Yudian put down her baby bottle and exclaimed, "Ya ya!"
"Raindrops saw Auntie again? Come here to Auntie."
Lin Chang'er put down her bowl and then brought over two more stones, so Lin Beishan and his wife sat down.
Lin Beishan glanced at the tree stump and teased, "Wow, the food's pretty good. Your mother was worried you'd be too busy to eat at night!"
