Lin Lei could see the uneasiness in the woman's eyes. She took the initiative to pick up a spoon and began to serve everyone half a bowl of noodles. She was afraid that if she served too much, there would be nothing left in the bowl.
When she was serving the food, Lin Lei saw from the corner of her eye that Li Yu's eyes were filled with desire. The corners of her mouth could not help but drool.
She placed the bowl in her hand in front of Li Yu. "If you're hungry, hurry up and eat. Children Grow Up. They should eat more to grow up. "
Li Yu looked at the bowl full of noodles and swallowed his saliva. He shook his head and said, "sister, I can't eat so much.
Go back a little. Otherwise, there won't be enough food for everyone."
What a sensible child. Lin Lei felt a little heartache for her child to grow up so early.
"just eat. Sister ate a lot in the morning.
You're not very hungry now. You're still very young. You need to eat more before you can grow up."
"Alright! " Li Yu replied and then began to eat the noodles with his chopsticks. He ate in a bit of a hurry, but there wasn't food everywhere.
She was probably worried that the food would be wasted and the child was so sensible. It was probably because the woman had taught him well.
Lin Lei had already filled everyone's bowls with noodles and then lowered her head to take a sip. She felt that the taste was still acceptable, so she began to eat slowly.
Song Yi watched from the side and thought that as long as Lin Lei couldn't eat, he would bring the bowl over and eat it together.
He didn't expect Lin Lei to eat all the noodles without saying a word.
A simple lunch, everyone ate it silently.
Xu Ying smiled at the side. It had been many years since anyone had come to her house as a guest.
After lunch, Xu Ying cleaned up everything on the table.
She came up with a kettle and poured a bowl of water for everyone.
"We don't have any tea leaves at home, so you can make do with it. This kettle contains mountain spring water.
It's very sweet and delicious."
Lin Lei picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was indeed very sweet. She didn't expect to be able to drink such delicious spring water at the seaside.
"Auntie, forgive me for asking, but why are your family's conditions so poor?
"I saw that the other houses were all brick and tile houses. Only your family was a country bumpkin. "
Xu Ying sighed after hearing that. "The child's father went to fish once when the child was just born.
He wanted to buy me some meat to eat, but who would have thought that a storm would arise on the sea that day.
Not a single person returned from the boat.
He was gone just like that. We were the only ones left in the family.
"I did not have much ability either. I could only make fish nets at home and earn a small income.
"I can barely maintain our mother and daughter's life. "
Lin Lei did not expect it to be so miserable. She lowered her head and looked at the little girl beside her. No wonder she was so sensible.
There was an old saying that said that the children of the poor should be in charge early.
Seeing that they were living such a down and out life. Lin Lei felt that she should help her. "Auntie, have you ever thought of going out to work and take care of the children? "
"going out to work? " Xu Ying looked surprised. Then, she thought for a moment and understood. She grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands and said, "I can't read a word. I'm already over 30 years old.
"What kind of work can I do outside?
"I'm not familiar with the outside world, and I have a child with me. What if something happens to the Child?
"How am I going to explain it to his father? "
Lin Lei said, "Auntie, if you want to go out to work, I can introduce you to someone.
"He works in a restaurant. Usually, he just does the dishes for others.
"He can earn some money in a month so that the child can go to school earlier.
"He can make a plan for the future. What do you think? "
