Chapter 40 A Bowl of Soup

  Shen Sisi smiled unkindly behind her back, this girl is too naive, in the future when she marries a wife, she should marry someone like Xiaohua, only then will she know heartache, it's too much for him, he's also suffering, can't bear it, and still gets bullied.

  She's having a hard time, worrying about making a living and also worrying about their marriage, it's too entangled.

  Just then, while I was lost in thought, there was a loud shout at the gate of the courtyard.

  Two dogs brought a few kids and rushed in, as soon as they came in, they shouted loudly: "Dabao, did your family eat meat yesterday?! I heard that the meat fragrance wafted far away, where did your family get the money to buy meat to eat? It's not New Year or holidays! What's going on?! Did your family become rich?!"

  The two dogs were barking loudly and intermittently, which was really disturbing and impolite. However, the village kids were all like this, shouting and yelling, making a big fuss over nothing.

  But Er Gouzi and the few kids he brought with him all stared at them with wide eyes, almost drooling. Their eyes shone brightly as they had already caught a whiff of that delicious smell of bones. Originally, they didn't quite believe it, but now they were completely convinced. No wonder several dogs at the entrance of the courtyard wouldn't leave yesterday after gnawing on the leftover meat bones. These few dogs were also very cunning and had been guarding the front of the courtyard since early morning today...

  If it's said that the Zhong family can afford to eat meat, then it's like the sun rising in the west - who doesn't know that the Zhong family is as poor as a beggar, yet they still manage to eat meat? But now the facts are right in front of them, and one by one they're all drooling, just like the slobbering dogs in the courtyard - it's really quite ridiculous.

  Shen Sisi sighed, it seems that even eating meat once has become a rare thing, and the news has spread throughout the village. In this difficult era, it's really helpless. In fact, not only Shen Sisi sighed, but also Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu were sighing too. They came out to do things, and had been asked by villagers who intentionally or unintentionally approached their fields several times, asking questions that made them feel embarrassed and frustrated, not knowing how to explain...

  So, Zhong Gensheng and his wife returned home early today. As soon as they got home, they saw the same lively scene again. Not only were there a few more dogs, but also several more kids. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat bones, and those children and dogs all had green eyes...

  Zhong Gensheng, this honest man, was also stunned. His dark face had a subtle expression. Hei Axiu even entered the yard and said: "Tuni, did you guys buy meat to eat again today?!"

  Her face was a bit uneasy, especially after the villagers' intentional or unintentional inquiries about whether they had become rich today. He Qiu's mood was now very complicated, "How can we eat meat every day?!"

  It's not that I'm heartbroken about the little money the kids have earned, nor is it that I don't want to give them some meat to eat. It's just that now it really is too eye-catching, and the whole village has been talking about it. If this continues, there will be more disputes than benefits.

  Tuni nodded and looked at the anxious couple, saying helplessly: "It's just a little bone soup..."

  Even bone soup is a luxury, after all, the bones are only given by the meat stall owner when buying meat. How can they be willing to give it for free?!

  "Dad, mom, why don't you go inside and have a drink first?" Tuni pulled He Ashu to push them into the earth house, then turned back to Er Gouz and said: "Don't drool anymore, you've been drinking fish soup for so long. Now, one bowl of bone soup per person is divided among you, but our family's black pancakes are not enough to eat, only one bowl of soup..."
