Chapter 45

After Liu Ji enjoyed the delicacy in the world, he opened his eyes and saw that the four children were holding white porridge, watching him swallowing saliva eagerly.

Oh, I almost forgot, their stepmother punished them not to eat meat tonight, Qin Yao beat back all the chopsticks that were just stretched out, and only allowed to eat vegetables.

Liu Ji gave a sympathetic "tsk tsk~" and began to eat dinner happily.

A small bowl of sparrow meat, just now he felt that so many people would not be able to eat it together, but who would have thought that it would be shared between him and the wicked woman Qin Yao.

Half a bowl per person is enough, he is not greedy.Liu Ji thought happily.

Qin Yao also felt that today's dishes were particularly fragrant, one bite after another, so delicious that she felt like she was back before the end of the world, when she went home for winter vacation from college.

Mom and Dad made a table full of her favorite dishes, which were delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

But since then, it has become a luxury to want to eat stir-fried vegetables.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters drank thick white porridge and ate crunchy green vegetables. This meal was already good, but it was tasteless.

Erlang thought in his heart, it was all because of the stepmother who ate so well that they felt that white porridge with green vegetables was tasteless, just like the young master of the landowner's family, who was not satisfied with eating dragon meat.

Facing the four pairs of longing eyes that were as bright as light bulbs, Liu Ji had no conscience to break out, and wanted to give each of them a small piece to taste.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity that it was a rare time for him to perform so well in cooking, but no one knew about it?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out a piece of meat, Qin Yao's cold eyes glanced over.

"You don't want to eat, do you?"

She stretched the bowl in front of him and said, "If you don't want to eat it, give it to me."

With that said, with a few chopsticks, he put all the five pieces of sparrow meat left in Liu Ji's bowl into his own bowl, one bite at a time, it was so delicious.

Liu Ji immediately glanced at the four children angrily, "Look, dad doesn't have to eat either."

The four siblings bit their chopsticks, the expectations in their eyes completely extinguished.

Sanlang and Si Niang were so greedy that they cried. The two little crybabies shed tears and choked with sobs as they drank porridge and vegetables. They knew that they were punished because they made mistakes, so they did not dare to cry out.

Liu Ji's hard-hearted heart couldn't bear to see it.

He raised his head to look at Qin Yao. He was eating so deliciously. A small pile of bones was quickly piled in front of him. After finishing three large bowls of white porridge, he put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.

Erlang couldn't hold it back anymore and weakly asked: "Auntie, can I take a bite of the remaining bones?"

Qin Yao stared, "Liu Erlang, don't be too outrageous!"

"No!" Qin Yao swept all the bones into a bowl and handed them to Liu Ji, asking him to take them to the kitchen to light the fire.

Erlang watched helplessly as all the bones entered the stove hole, and then gave up the idea with an "oh" sound.

But the good thing is that Qin Yao and Liu Ji have already eaten all the meat, so they can't see it, so they don't feel so uncomfortable.

The four brothers and sisters finished their dinner one after another and were resurrected with full health. They were chatting and playing their own little games in the main room.

Qin Yao waited for Liu Ji to come back after washing the dishes and tidying up the stove, then said:

"On the way back today, I heard people say that the No. 15 county government office is going to sell cattle. I want to buy a piece of beef tendon. By the way, I will get all the New Year's goods and charcoal. Let's go to the city together. You get up early that day."

"Going to the city?" Liu Ji was overjoyed and responded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

He loves going to town!

The four chirping children beside him fell silent.

Dalang asked curiously: "Dad, is the county seat far away?"

Erlang also asked: "Dad, is the county fun?"

Liu Ji replied: "Of course it's far away. It takes more than two hours to walk from our village to the county seat. We have to start before dawn."

"But there are so many interesting things in the county, including restaurants, gambling houses, and Rouge Houses."

Erlang asked excitedly: "Dad, what is Rouge House? Does it sell rouge? Have you been there?"

Hearing his son's words, Liu Ji couldn't help laughing out loud, "Silly boy, the Rouge Building definitely doesn't sell rouge, they only sell meat."

The words stopped suddenly, and Liu Ji suddenly realized that he was about to say something inappropriate for children. He coughed twice and stopped talking:
"It's nothing, there's nothing interesting in the county."

But it obviously sounds fun.Dalang thought doubtfully.

Erlang didn't wait for an answer, and asked again: "Father, have you ever been to the Rouge House to buy meat?"

Liu Ji hurriedly glanced at Qin Yao, waved his hand to signal his son to shut up and stop asking, turned around and said he was going to the kitchen to boil water.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao also asked with great interest: "Have you been there or not?"

"That must be. I haven't been there before." Liu Ji lowered his head and shook his empty sleeves. Just like him, he would be kicked out by his mother if he sat at the door.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters are still full of beautiful fantasies about this Rouge Building, thinking that when they grow up and can go to the city, they must go and see it.

Although he was very eager to go to the county town together, he knew that his short legs would definitely hinder him, so he didn't say anything to the sensible people. He just chased after Liu Ji and asked him what was in the city.

Qin Yao seriously considered whether the whole family should go to the city together?
Kaiyang County is actually not that big, with a resident population of only 3000 to 6000 people, but it is already a big place considering the total population of [-] million in Shengguo.

Before the prosperity of the country, the troubled times lasted for decades. Years of wars led to a sharp decline in the population. Now they are only beginning to recuperate. Walking on the road, in fact, they rarely meet people.

The day Qin Yao arrived in Kaiyang County, she saw the most people in the city since she came here.

There are many people in the village who have never left the village all their lives. For the big guys, the farthest place is Fucheng.

This was the only reason they migrated such a long way to survive during the war.

Thinking about it this way, for the four children who have never left the small mountain village, going to the city may have a different meaning.

If you can't walk, you can take a bullock cart.

It's also good for the kids to see the world.

Thinking this way, after the father and son came back from the shower room, Qin Yao said:

"Liu Ji, go and borrow an ox cart from the village chief. On the day of NO.15, our family will go to the city together, and take Dalang and the others to have a look around the city."

When the four brothers and sisters heard this, they were shocked by great joy, and they were stunned on the spot.

Liu Ji also paused for two seconds before reacting. He was a little surprised that Qin Yao would make such a decision.

It was rare for a careless person to restrain himself. He looked at her deeply before agreeing.

The children were so happy that they didn't want to sleep all night. They crowded on the same bed and whispered about their various imaginations about the county.

In the end, the four brothers and sisters made a decision, and when they arrived in the county, they would use the copper coins they picked out from their own fathers to buy a bunch of candied haws and eat them together.

Let’s see if the candied haws on ice is as delicious as Liu Jinbao said.

Siniang made a special statement, "I want to leave one for my mother-in-law, who took us to the city."

The implication is that we cannot forget to thank our 'benefactor'.

The three elder brothers fully agreed, and the four brothers and sisters reached a consensus. They waited until early in the morning, when the excitement passed, and then fell asleep.
