"Oh, mother! You can put this egg first! I'll eat it later. Brother Yi on the mountain hasn't eaten yet."

Su Ling'er can't care about his chest sticking to his back from hunger right now, what he misses is Leng Yi and the others.

I'm afraid I'm so hungry that my chest sticks to my back right now?

Su Linger took a step forward and rushed out without thinking.

"Oh, you child, you haven't eaten enough yet, and you're still worried about the people on the mountain."

Lin Cuiping quickly grabbed her and didn't let her go out.

"Mom, I didn't cook for Brother Yi and the others today."

Seeing her little arm being grabbed by his mother, Su Ling'er struggled again and wanted to rush out.

I even forgot about the fact that the sky was getting dark.

"It's been a while, and I don't even look at the sky."

"Ah, it's already dark, so what should we do? Brother Yi and the others haven't eaten yet."

"Okay, okay, sit down and eat. I'll cook some lean meat porridge for them. It takes a short time to make them full."

Lin Cuiping looked at the sky, then at Su Ling'er who was full of anxiety, and sighed helplessly.

He walked quickly to the stove and started to light the fire.

"Lean meat porridge? Looks good too."

Anyway, I forgot to cook for Brother Yi and the others.

At this time, making some lean meat porridge seems to be the best choice.

"Then you can sit down and eat with peace of mind now, right? Mother can cook for them."

While delivering firewood to the stove, Lin Cuiping looked at Su Ling'er dotingly.

The fire quickly rose.

The blazing flames reflected Lin Cuiping's face, which was full of love.

She was afraid that her precious daughter would starve.

But her precious daughter is worried that others will starve.

"Well, I knew that mother is the best for me."

Su Ling'er sat down coquettishly, picked up an egg in the bowl, and gently touched it on the table.

Slender hands began to peel the eggs.

"Why did mother cook so many eggs today? Ling'er leave three eggs for mother!"

Su Ling'er ate the eggs, glanced into the bowl, and found that there were five eggs in it.

Let her heart a little touched.

People in the mountains like them, although their lives are a little rich, they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

But the eggs laid by the chickens at home are still reluctant to eat on weekdays, and they are all used to hatch chicks.

Because it is located deep in the mountains, the survival rate of the hatched chicks is high.

But the growth rate is very low.

All kinds of wild animals in the mountains, such as little foxes and weasels, often take advantage of the time when people in the village go out to work.

Come to the village and pick up the chicks and eat them.

Larger animals, even adult roosters, can be eaten as food.

Therefore, the adults in the village generally don't have the heart to use eggs for cooking.

Eggs are only eaten on special occasions.

For example, a family member's birthday, a child's illness or something.

Tomorrow is Su Linger's birthday, these eggs must have been specially cooked for her by her mother!
Probably in order to let her eat a few more bites, her mother didn't even touch any of them.

"Ling'er, mother has already eaten, this is for you."

Lin Cuiping, who was cooking by the stove, put the rice washed in spring water into the pot.

The smile on his face couldn't be concealed.

Her little padded jacket already knew how to love her.

In the future, her life will get better and better.

"Niang is obviously lying. How have you ever eaten eggs? You can't even find an egg shell at home."

Su Ling'er unceremoniously exposed her mother's words.

Her mother's love lie, she exposed it casually.

Lin Cuiping put the spatula into the pot, stirred the porridge that had already boiled in the pot, sprinkled the minced meat into the pot, and kept stirring.

It is estimated that it will be ready to cook after a while.

"Ling'er! Tomorrow is your 16th birthday. Mother made this specially for you. In previous years, you spent your birthday with your playmates in the village. Mother is afraid that you will play too late tomorrow. Mother will wait for you when the time comes." I don't have time to go to bed, so I cooked some eggs for you tonight."

16 is a special day.

It marks that her daughter has grown into an adult.

It's just that they are a family in the mountains, so there is no need for any grand commemorative ceremony.

A few eggs are the greatest blessing that parents can give them.

"Mother, my daughter's birthday is Mother's Good Friday. In fact, you don't have to give me anything special? To celebrate my birthday, let's eat these eggs together!"

Su Linger stood up mischievously and found Lin Cuiping.She stuffed the peeled egg into her mother's mouth.

"Well……"

Lin Cuiping, who was stuffed with eggs, had to put down the spatula in her hand.He took the egg that Su Ling'er had stuffed his mouth full and ate it.

Talking while eating.

"Look at you kid! It's naughty."

"I don't even want to eat eggs on my mother's birthday, but my daughter boiled so many eggs on her birthday, so my daughter wants my mother to eat with me."

Seeing her mother eating the eggs honestly, Su Linger's heart was filled with joy.

"Okay, let's eat together."

Lin Cuiping kept a straight face.But my heart is as happy as eating honey.

"By the way, mother, Ling'er is going to hold a small birthday party tomorrow, can mother come over with me then?"

Su Ling'er put her arms around Lin Cuiping's shoulders, thinking of the activities scheduled for tomorrow, it would be best for her mother to participate.

"You guys are all children, it's not good for mother to be there alone! Mother won't go."

Lin Cuiping stirred the boiling rice porridge in the pot with her hands, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly wiped the hand holding the spatula on her clothes.

Then he reached into his pocket and took out a wooden box.

"By the way, Linger gives you this."

Su Ling'er just wanted to act like a baby and told her that she must go to her birthday party tomorrow night.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw her mother handing him a wooden box.

This is a simple cedar box, the style of the box is relatively simple and rough, and the yellowish color shows that it is a relatively old one.

"Mom, what is this?"

Su Ling'er didn't take the box, but looked at her mother's expression with both eyes, trying to see something from it.

It's a pity that her mother's face has no other expressions except kindness.

"Oh, it's not something precious? This is the hairpin that your father gave me when we got married. Although it's not worth much, it's the only thing my mother thinks is precious. After Ling'er tomorrow It's 16 years old, mother gave you this as a commemoration of your adulthood."

Lin Cuiping caressed the wooden box with her hands, her eyes glowed, as if she had returned to her youthful days.

Passionate and ignorant, eager and trembling.

"Mother, keep it, Ling'er can't have this, but since tomorrow is Ling'er's sixteenth birthday, Ling'er really has a gift for you."
