Chapter 3 Rare Metal Ore?
"Damn it, Xiao'er has eaten." Shen Chengyao walked in holding a tray, on which were two bowls of porridge and three buns.Mrs. Liu got up in a hurry, moved a kang table and put it on the kang. Xiao'er sat up with her hands supporting her body, smelling the aroma of food, she suddenly felt very hungry.

Shen Chengyao put 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 enough?Xiao'er glanced at Mrs. Liu and saw that she looked normal, so she wasn't surprised. It could be seen that the usual dinner was like this, and soon the original owner's memory of eating also appeared in her mind.The food needs to be improved as soon as possible, Xiaoer made a secret decision.

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

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

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hesitated to speak. She felt sorry for her father-in-law, but she also felt sorry for her own child.My husband took out a steamed bun, which meant that he only ate a steamed bun for dinner, drank a bowl of porridge, and worked in the fields for a day. How could such a small amount of food be enough.The child bled so much, didn't eat for a day, and didn't even have an egg to nourish her body. I was really incompetent.

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

At this time, Shen Jingrui and Shen Jinghao walked into the room, and they both took out a nest of corn buns from their pockets and put them on a plate.

"Mother, Xiao'er eats corn bread."

"Mother, my sister eats corn bread."

"You two children, eat by yourself!" Liu's eyes couldn't help turning red, and his voice was a little sobbing.My children are really sensible and filial.I know how to love others at a young age, but at night they only drink a bowl of porridge and water, so that's not enough.

Xiao'er was also a little touched, it seems that this family loves each other.Once reborn, with the same loving family as in the previous life, I should be content.It doesn't matter if the family is poor, this can be changed, but a family that loves each other and is united as one is hard to come by.

"I just woke up, I don't have much appetite, I can't eat that much." Xiao'er said against her will.God knows, she's hungry enough to eat a cow now.

"You three, eat quickly, or I won't eat it either." Liu Shi pretended to be angry.

In the end, the three had no choice but to eat half more each.Xiao'er ate half of the rest, and Liu shi ate one. This is because Xiao'er said to eat more so that his younger sister would not be hungry, so Liu shi was willing to eat.

After eating, Shen Chengyao brought another bowl of medicine for Xiao'er to drink, and then the whole family washed up and went to sleep.Ancient people generally worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.

Xiao'er originally wanted to tell her parents about Shen Chengzong and Li's plan to sell her to the Hu family to be a flower girl, but after thinking about it, she decided not to talk about it, and pretended not to know, to see if those two dared to marry her. Don't dare to sell her, if she dares to sell, she will have a way to make their own daughter a flower girl.

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

After Xiao'er woke up, she moved a little bit. After a few days of recuperation, she felt much stronger, and the wound didn't hurt so much.

"Xiao'er is awake, come here, mother will help you get dressed." Mrs. Liu was leaning against the wall to embroider a handkerchief, and when she noticed that Xiao'er was awake, she quickly put down her needlework, picked up Xiao'er's coat, and planned to put it on for her. .

"Mom, I can do it myself." Xiao'er hurriedly took the clothes and put them on neatly.She is not a real child, and she is really not used to being helped by adults to dress.

After Xiao'er got dressed, she fetched water to wash up according to the original owner's memory.Back in the room, Mrs. Liu had already set the kang table, on which there was a bowl of porridge called congee, and two small black steamed buns.Seeing the two black steamed buns, Xiao'er knew that Mrs. Liu had left her portion for herself on purpose, and her heart warmed, she picked up a steamed bun and handed it directly to Mrs. Liu's mouth.

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

"I've eaten, I'm not hungry now, you eat." Liu Shi smiled and pushed Xiao'er's hand away.

"Mom, my hands are sore, eat it!" Xiaoer stuffed the steamed buns into Liu's mouth after speaking.In modern times, Shen Xiaoxiao, as the youngest and only princess of the Shen family, has been acting like a baby since she was a child.

"You child, mother even said that I don't want to eat it." Liu turned her head to avoid it.

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

"How can you be so particular about this child." Liu Shi reluctantly took the steamed bun and ate 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, and it was only a leaf away, but the lotus could already be seen Slim and lifelike, Liu's embroidery is obviously very good.It seems that I have to study hard in the future. For the knowledge I don't understand, Xiao'er in her previous life had a tireless learning spirit.

"Mother, this purse is almost finished, why don't you embroider the purse first and then embroider the handkerchief?"

"This veil is what your sister-in-law is in a hurry to use, so mother will embroider it first."

"Oh." Xiao'er agreed and continued to look at the things in the basket.Xiao'er is also a top-notch sister-in-law, she eats too much and is lazy, she is a bit pretty in her own service, and her heart is higher than the sky.

Xiao'er saw a white stone under the basket, picked it up and found that the shape was similar to a swan, the texture was smooth, not jade, I don't know what material it was, but 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 is also a toy that the original owner likes very much.Xiao'er put down the stone and continued to look through it. Her finger was accidentally pricked by a needle on the embroidery thread of her purse, and a drop of blood immediately came out. When she withdrew her hand, the blood bead wiped on the white stone, and then the stone disappeared out of thin air.

"Ah!" Xiao'er exhaled softly in surprise.

Mrs. Liu was helping her little sister change her diaper, when she heard the cry, she looked up, thinking she was just pricked by a needle, then lowered her head and continued changing her diaper.

"You child, there are needles in the basket, be careful when looking through them."

"Mother, the white stone is gone." Xiao'er was extremely surprised.

"Is it missing? I put it in the basket before. Maybe Hao'er took it to play. Why don't you ask him when he comes back." Mrs. Liu didn't have time to embroider these days. He didn't pay attention to whether the stone was there, because the original owner often played with the stone, and now he woke up and started looking for the stone again, so he couldn't help but take Xiao'er's surprise as impatience.

When she regained her senses, Xiao'er had an intuition that she couldn't tell the story of the stone disappearing out of thin air. The ancients were superstitious, and it would be scary to tell such a thing.

"Oh, I remembered, I lost it when I took it out to play that time, and I couldn't find it." Fortunately, Mrs. Liu was only focused on changing the diaper for the little sister just now, and didn't notice that she had picked up the stone.
