Chapter 75 Picky Eaters
When Lin Guoxiang was about to start a fire, she suddenly remembered that there was no firewood at home, because she was in a hurry to seek justice for the two children and forgot about the firewood.

Standing by the empty stove, Lin Guoxiang felt very angry no matter how she thought about it. Who are the people in this family? She didn't even let a single piece of firewood go, and she couldn't believe that she took those extra firewood. Can you live a rich life with a cheap life?Seeing her standing by the stove for a while without cooking, Xiucai raised her head and looked over. When she saw the small piece of empty dirt beside the stove, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and her eyebrows frowned involuntarily. , although the expression on his face did not change, the gloom that flashed in his eyes still revealed the emotions in his heart.

"I'm going to pick up some firewood." Xiucai put the vegetables in the clay pot for washing vegetables, stood up and said slowly, "First make the meal at noon, and I will go to the town to buy firewood in the afternoon."

"No need." Lin Guoxiang said, "You wash the vegetables, and I'll chop firewood." After speaking, she rushed out like a gust of wind.

Xiucai wanted to ask her where she still had firewood at home, but before she opened her mouth to ask, the person in front of her was gone, and then she heard the sound of crackling wood in the yard.Xiucai raised her eyebrows unconsciously when she heard this voice, thinking: Could it be that she chopped up the things in the house?He really wanted to go out and have a look, but he was afraid that Lin Guoxiang would not be able to take it if he really chopped things up and used them as firewood to burn a fragile heart.

Lin Guoxiang didn't make Xiucai wait long, and came in with a pile of "divided corpses" in her arms after a while. Xiucai couldn't help but glanced at the pile of planks and strips, and almost fainted. Yes... This is the most precious small wooden cabinet that the old lady brought as a dowry back then. She was reluctant to put things in it and kept it empty, but Lin Guoxiang actually chopped it up now...

Xiucai felt a bit of a toothache, and it was foreseeable that one day in the future, Mrs. Cui knew that her precious cabinet was chopped up and burned as firewood by her daughter-in-law whom he had never wanted to see... He didn't dare to think about it any longer. He'd really faint just thinking about it.

Lin Guoxiang saw that the expression on the scholar's warm and jade-like face was constantly changing from green to white, she was so happy, she couldn't help thinking badly, if the old woman knew that her precious cabinet had been hacked Will it be mad when the firewood is burned?Wow Kaka, look forward to it!
As soon as this idea came up, Lin Guoxiang reviewed in her heart again: Lin Guoxiang, you have turned bad. Grandpa taught you to respect the old and love the young since childhood. How could you have such evil thoughts? You shouldn't, you really shouldn't... …

However, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she still pretends to be ignorant: "Why do you have such an expression? This cabinet is rotten and can't be used for a long time. Anyway, it takes up space at home. It's better to split it." Use it as firewood." Then he showed the worm-eaten planks to the scholar, "Here, look, they are all full of worm eyes, and here they are all rotten and broken." Afraid that the scholar would not believe it, Deliberately breaking those decayed planks and slats with his hands, the scholar's already fragile heart shattered into pieces amidst the dull snapping sounds.

The scholar looked at Lin Guoxiang and couldn't help asking: "Do you know the origin of this cabinet...?"

"What's the origin?" Lin Guoxiang followed suit with curiosity when she heard the scholar's words, "Could it be an antique from the previous dynasty?" After finishing speaking, she put on a regretful look and said, "It can't really be an antique, right? , Oops, I'm such a prodigal, how much money is this worth...my money..."

Talent: "..."

He now has the heart to strangle Lin Guoxiang to death, this dead girl definitely did it on purpose!

Xiucai took a breath, then took another breath, and then said slowly, "I'll go and read a book for a while." After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out, Lin Guoxiang saw the corner of his mouth twitching very sharply.

Uh, it seems like I've gone a little too far?Lin Guoxiang thought about it in her heart, forget it, don't care about it, can she stick to it again if it's hacked?She can't do that.

Lin Guoxiang threw away the little bit of guilt in her heart, sat down by the stove and prepared to light a fire to cook, but picked up the fire twister and was embarrassed again, and suddenly found that the fire could not be lit.Moreover, she saw things like pots and stoves when she first went to her grandfather's house when she was a child. Later, she switched to coal stoves and gas stoves, and then replaced them with induction cookers. This kind of stove was removed 800 years ago. up.

Wang Yuanzhi saw that Lin Guoxiang was sitting by the pot table with fire twigs and firewood and studied for a long time but couldn't make a fire. He was a little puzzled, but he never thought that it was because she couldn't make a fire.

After waiting for a while, Wang Yuanzhi was so hungry that he couldn't take it anymore, so he said: "Mother, let me help you light the fire." In fact, he was a little anxious to see that Lin Guoxiang hadn't lit the fire yet.

Lin Guoxiang was a little embarrassed, but she quickly gave up her seat to Wang Yuanzhi.

With Wang Yuanzhi helping to light the fire, a lunch was ready in no time. The two children gulped down their mouths as they smelled the smell of meat wafting from the room, and their already hungry stomachs growled even more happily.

……

The scholar raised his eyebrows looking at the delicious dishes on the table. Wang Yuanzhi served everyone a bowl of rice, then sat down and followed his younger brother to swallow the plate of braised pork on the table.

Lin Guoxiang brought the soup to the table, seeing the gluttonous looks of the two children, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Look, you are so gluttonous, that's fine, don't look at it and eat."

The two children almost cheered happily when they heard their mother's words. They raised their chopsticks and stretched them towards the bowl of fragrant braised pork. There were not too many, so the bowl of braised pork was eaten up in a while.Then came the bowl of gongbao chicken, and then the cabbage stewed vermicelli, but the bowl of stir-fried vegetables was eaten by the two children except for Xiucai.

It should be said that the two children didn’t even look at Ben. When my grandma was in charge of the house, three meals a day were either pickles or boiled vegetables. From snacks to growing up, there was really no love.

After finishing the meal, he drank all the soup, but the plate of stir-fried vegetables was not much less.

Lin Guoxiang frowned slightly looking at the bowl of leftover fried vegetables, but said nothing.

When it was time to eat at night, Xiucai stared at the bowl of leftover stir-fried vegetables left over at noon on the table for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Guoxiang, and after a little thought, she understood what she meant, so she curled her mouth and bowed her head to eat .

The two children were also taken aback when they saw the bowl of green vegetables, and then Qiqi turned their heads to look into the cabinet in a tacit understanding. In the afternoon, Lin Guoxiang made braised beef, pork, chicken and duck were also marinated with salt, Why do you want to eat such unpalatable vegetables instead of eating meat when you have meat at home?

Lin Guoxiang pretended not to see the yearning eyes of the two children looking at her, and lowered her head to eat like a scholar.

Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue waited for a long time and didn't see their mother take out the small pot of stewed beef to eat. They were a little disappointed, but they were used to being silent since they were young, and they didn't make any noise to eat meat. The rice in the bowl, but I still think about the small pot of stewed beef in my heart, thinking that maybe I can eat it tomorrow.

But the next day, Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue were disappointed again, because this day, let alone eating meat, there was not even a shadow of them, except for a bowl of green vegetables on the table.After eating green vegetables for a day, the mood of the two children was obviously a little depressed. Xiucai looked a little distressed and a little funny, but he didn't say a word all the time.

At noon on the third day, I finally had some meat to eat, but the last bowl of vegetables was left over. Lin Guoxiang raised her eyebrows again and said nothing. When it was time for dinner at night, only the bowl of leftovers was left on the table. Stir-fried vegetables.The next day they ate green vegetables for another day, and on the fourth day they cooked meat again. This time, the two children finally figured out the way to do it. They ate up all the stewed beef and fried vegetables at the same time. There are no stalks of the green vegetables I love.

Xiucai looked at the empty plates and bowls on the table and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he didn't dare to make it too obvious, so he coughed to cover up his smile. These two children seem to have to be treated like this .

After clearing away the dishes on the table, Lin Guoxiang called the two children to stand side by side, and then said, "Do you know where your mistakes are?"

This time, Lin Guoxiang didn't need to speak, the two children took the initiative to occupy a corner of the wall and started squatting. Xiucai almost laughed when he saw it, but Lin Guoxiang gave him a big roll of his eyes.

"Mother, you haven't given us a reminder yet?" Wang Yuanyue turned his face to remind Lin Guoxiang, Lin Guoxiang was so angry that her eyes widened, didn't you give us a reminder, wouldn't you think for yourself?
Xiucai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said "I'm going to teach the children" and almost escaped out of the house. Lin Guoxiang saw the forbearance smile on his face when he went out, and couldn't help turning over in his heart. With big white eyes, he said in his heart: You should laugh, you will only hurt yourself when you laugh, hum!
"Mother?" Wang Yuanzhi also turned around and called Lin Guoxiang.

"The reminder is to eat!" Lin Guoxiang said angrily.

This time, because of Lin Guoxiang's serving of green vegetables for two consecutive days, the two children understood it after a while.

Wang Yuanzhi: "Mom, I will definitely eat more vegetables in the future."

Wang Yuanyue: "Me too, I must eat more vegetables."

"Well, you're half right, keep thinking."

"Eat less meat?" Wang Yuanzhi asked tentatively after pondering for a long time.

"Not this, keep thinking."

So the two children thought bitterly for a while, but they couldn't come up with anything, so Lin Guoxiang asked them to come back and stand up, and said, "It's not that mother is reluctant to give you meat, but how can children be picky eaters when they eat? You want to eat meat." You have to eat vegetables, so you can grow up, you know?"

"But the vegetables are not as tasty as the meat..." Wang Yuanyue finally couldn't help but whispered.

Lin Guoxiang stared: "How can a child eat only meat and not vegetables? Can he grow up like this? As a child, he should eat what the adults give him. How can he be picky and picky? Don't eat? Barbara..."

The two children were trained by Lin Guoxiang to hang their heads and keep silent. Finally, they promised together that they would never be picky eaters again, so Lin Guoxiang let them go. The two finally regained their freedom.
