Chapter 444: word change 4
The life of Chu Xiaobao and Grandma Chu is really not easy.
There was no more rice in the rice jar in the kitchen, not even some coarse grains.
Zhao Xiulan asked distressedly, "Xiaobao, if you don't get food from me today, what do you usually eat and drink with your grandma?"
Chu Xiaobao lowered his head and said pitifully, "When grandma is not sick, she can help others do some laundry, do some rough work to make money, and can barely buy some coarse grains to eat.
Later, my grandmother was not feeling well, so I went out to beg for food. Sometimes I met a kind person who could beg some coarse grains to come back to eat! "
"Then what if you beg for food and don't get food?"
"When there is no one to eat, I dig some tree roots to eat, barely padding my stomach!"
Zhao Xiulan has also heard that when there is nothing to eat, everyone will dig the roots and peel the bark to eat.
Some are even more exaggerated, cooking leather shoe belts to eat.
Anyway, as long as it is something that can't be eaten, it will eat a stomach pad!
Zhao Xiulan had met many poor people in Anxian before, but they were not reduced to the point of eating tree roots.
Now I hear Chu Xiaobao say digging roots to eat, I feel more sympathetic to Chu Xiaobao.
Zhao Xiulan sighed and didn't say much. She took some rice from the basket and put it in the pot to prepare porridge for Grandma Chu.
Chu Xiaobao was there to help and was in charge of burning the fire.
The fire of the wood was very strong, so it didn't take long for the pot to boil.
Although the porridge is not ready yet, it has a fragrant aroma.
Chu Xiaobao is often hungry and can't even eat, let alone these refined grains.
At this moment, I smelled the aroma of rice, and I swallowed directly in my stomach.
Looking at Chu Xiaobao's "slanderous appearance", Zhao Xiulan felt that this child was too pitiful!
This kid is so smart!
As an ordinary child, how can he be so strong and sensible, and know how to go out begging to make a living.
If it weren't for Chu Xiaobao, Grandma Chu might not be here now.
Zhao Xiulan took out a boiled egg from the space, handed it to Chu Xiaobao, and said to Chu Xiaobao, "Are you hungry? Eat an egg to pad your stomach first!"
As soon as Chu Xiaobao saw the egg that Zhao Xiulan took out, he was immediately attracted.
"Sister Egg, you actually have eggs?"
"Ok!"
Chu Xiaobao swallowed his saliva in his stomach. Eggs are a good thing, even better than white rice porridge.
He didn't even remember how long it had been since he had eaten eggs, but when he saw the eggs in Zhao Xiulan's hands, he was extremely surprised.
"Sister, I won't eat it! It's too precious!" Although Chu Xiaobao wanted to eat it, after thinking about it, he was too embarrassed to accept it.
"Here, eat first! Your grandma fell ill because she couldn't eat well and was in poor health. Eat something to make up for your body. If you also fell ill, who would you expect to take care of your grandma?"
After listening to Zhao Xiulan's words, Chu Xiaobao took the eggs and prepared them to eat.
He carefully peeled off the egg shell, and the egg white inside was smooth and tender, which was very attractive at first glance.
Chu Xiaobao couldn't help swallowing a few saliva in his stomach, and then broke the egg in half.
Zhao Xiulan hurriedly stopped and said, "Xiaobao, you have eaten it all, don't leave it to your grandma, I still have it here, I will give it to your grandma later!"
Chu Xiaobao nodded. According to Zhao Xiulan's intention, he ate the egg, but his eyes were already red, and he secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Except for his grandmother, he had never met a person as nice to him as Zhao Xiulan.
