Chapter 21. Being excessive

This time, it was unknown where Zhou Da Wa ran off to play and Er Wa was unable to find him. He asked an older child in the village to pass a message. If he saw his eldest brother, tell him to come home to eat pan-fried sweet potato.

Then Er Wa ran home by himself.

So when Zhou Da Wa heard the message and ran home, Lin Qing He had eaten with Er Wa and San Wa.

It goes without saying, she left a piece for him.

"Mother, you didn't tell me there are pan-fried sweet potato cakes!" Da Wa complained while washing his hands.

"I got Er Wa to call you." Lin Qing He responded.

Da Wa immediately glared at Er Wa: "You dare not call me and run back on your own to eat?"

"I did go call, but I didn't find you, so I told someone to pass a message to you. Otherwise, Eldest brother, you will definitely not return home now." Er Wa gave a lazy response.

After eating three pieces of sweet potato cakes, he was sunk in delight and felt full now, so he does not want to quarrel with his eldest brother.

Da Wa can only eat sweet potato cake, and there was only one piece left. His appetite was relatively large, so it wasn't enough. He turned to Er Wa: "How many pieces did you eat?"

"Three pieces," Er Wa answered.

"Mother, why did you let him eat my share!" Da Wa expressed dissatisfaction.

"Who told you to run off to play where people can't see you. Remember next time you play, stay near around the house, otherwise, don't think about having what I'm cooking." Lin Qing He said.

Although she won't rein him in, it was impossible to let him run like a wild horse.

However, compared to her holding his ear and counseling him, it was obvious this method of using good food was more capable of affecting Zhou Da Wa and hinting him to decide not to run so far next time, and let Er Wa find him easily when he heads out!

He also wanted to tell Er Wa where he usually went to play, so that Er Wa could find him easily. However, Er Wa was not happy, and object to the number of places he played at. He had no way of finding and won't look for the entrance he can't find.

Then he got beaten by Da Wa, and Er Wa howled. Lin Qing He planned to beat Da Wa.

After a while of chaos, Lin Qing He asked Da Wa, "Did you tell your grandma?"

"I did. Grandma said she would come once she's not busy, but don't need to prepare her meal." Zhou Da Wa replied.

Even though she said this, Lin Qing He still prepared lunch for Mother Zhou. After all, she was asking a favor from the other.

Steamed rice for noon. After washing the rice, she left it to soak in the iron pot. After soaking for half an hour, it can be steamed.

They do eat rice here, but just fewer people. Generally, they ate more noodles. Rice, especially this white rice, was very rare.

However, it was obvious that white rice was the tastiest. It wasn't easy to buy and required food coupons. But still, the original owner liked it very much.

Lin Qing He also liked it, so the rice tank was always full. She was afraid that Zhou Qing Bai will come back suddenly, then she can't refill it when she wants.

She didn't have a large appetite, and the three children hadn't reached that time. However, Da Wa's food intake was not small. This kid was fed by Lin Qing He for a few days, although he didn't develop more meat, he was obviously much stronger.

While Mother Zhou, her appetite should be relatively larger.

Around eight bowls of rice were steamed. She, Er Wa, and San Wa get three bowls, two bowls for Da Wa, and lastly three bowls for Mother Zhou.

There was a good bit of salted pork belly left, so Lin Qing He picked two cucumbers.

After the rice was steamed, she heated the pork belly in the pan. After scooping up the pork belly, there was a lot of oil with a salty fragrance left. The cucumbers went in the pan and it started sizzling as the fragrance emit out.

After the cucumbers were fried, Lin Qing He also made an egg drop and seaweed soup.

Steamed rice was served with salted pork belly, fried cucumber, and egg drop, and seaweed soup. This was also a relatively simple and ordinary meal.

But when Mother Zhou came to see the food, her heartache acted up again. It was no worse than the landlord's household in the past!

"Mother, sit down, and eat. I specially made steamed rice for you. If you don't eat it, then there will be leftovers. I promised Da Wa that they would eat lean pork congee tonight." Lin Qing He said.

Mother Zhou's expression was not good, but she knew she wouldn't listen to her. So she sat down and looked at the plate of salty meat, and the plate of oily fried cucumbers. Even tasty smell filling her nose didn't alleviate her worry.
