Chapter 716

Margaret looked at the bread in her hand, then at the old lady lying over there, "Thank you, Sheldon, can I give her some? Mom said she didn't have anything to eat. The old lady sure Hungry."

Because the old lady was sick and couldn't go out to work, the daily ration was gone.

"Ah, then give her something to eat."

Sheldon and Margaret go to see the old lady.

"Grandma, grandma...wake up."

"We have something for you to eat."

The grandma remained silent for a long time.

Sheldon thought the old lady must be hungry.

He reached out and began to shake the old man.

Margaret was shouting from the side.

I don't know whether it was Sheldon's shaking or Margaret's shouting, but the grandmother opened her eyes...

"Oh, Mary...is that you? Child."

"It's me, Grandma. And Sheldon. He's here, too."

"Oh, Sheldon."

"Grandma, he brought you food, you can eat some."

"Look, bread, real bread."

"Real bread.

It's not the kind of black bread that I eat every day. I don't know what is mixed with it. "

A golden and soft piece of bread was handed to the old lady.

She could already smell the aroma of bread.

Put it in your mouth and chew slowly.

She chewed slowly, as if she was savoring carefully, and as if she was trying to remember the taste.

"Grandma, there are more here."

Margaret gave her another slice.

The old lady held it in her hand and didn't put it in her mouth. Instead, she touched Sheldon's head with the other hand and then touched Margarita's head.Trying to squeeze out a smile, he said, "You are all good boys.

I didn't expect to have a bite of bread at this time. "

Hearing the old lady praise him as a good boy, Shelton was overjoyed. He looked at the old lady's face and said, "Grandma, eat it! Just eat it, and I'll get it for you later."

The old lady shook her head, "No need."

"No, why not?"

Sheldon didn't understand what the old lady said.

The old lady didn't explain but said: "Go, go and play, I'll sleep for a while."

Sheldon and Margaret didn't want to disturb her sleep, so they walked to the other side and took her sister to play games.

The little sister looked eagerly at the cloth bag in her elder sister's hand.

It was the expression of wanting to eat.

Margaret took another small piece and fed it to her.

Sheldon said, "Why don't you eat margaritas? You can eat them. I'll get them for you later. There are plenty in the kitchen."

"Okay then! I'll try it first."

The little girl couldn't resist the temptation of the bread, so she picked up a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

So fragrant.

Margaret's younger sister Lisa saw her sister eating, and subconsciously stuffed her fingers into her mouth.

Margarita said, "Lisa, let's not eat it and save it until my brother and mother come back to eat."

Lisa nodded, but her eyes were still on the bread.

Margaret wrapped the bread in her own cloth towel, and returned Sheldon's.

Sheldon put it away and put it in his pocket.Use it later.

He told Margaret: "You have to be careful, don't let other people find out."

"Well, I know, I won't say it."

Then he told his sister, "Lisa, don't tell others, do you understand?"

My sister just nodded.

"Thank you, Hilton. Others say your family is bad, but I think you are good.

Only then did Sheldon remember his purpose for coming here.

So he asked: "Why do they think we are bad people? I think those Germans are bad people and locked us here. We are not Germans."

Margarita said: "They think you are the lackeys of the Germans."

"What is a lackey?"

Sheldon didn't understand.

In fact, Margarita didn't understand either.

She was merely repeating the words of the grown-ups.

"They say your mother got the kitchen job because she curry favor with the Germans."

Is this why those people alienate their own family?

Working in the kitchen is also cooking for everyone.

This is the same as building roads outside, working on construction sites, and working in factories. They are all serving the Germans.

It's just a little easier in the kitchen.

Why is it that the bad guys are running dogs?

Seeing that Hilton stopped talking, Margarita comforted her friends, "Sheldon, don't worry. I think they are jealous because they don't have the opportunity to work in the kitchen. In fact, I also hope that my mother can be in the kitchen." Work, in that case, my sister and I will not be hungry.

Margaret's words comforted Sheldon.

He became happy again and said: "If there is such an opportunity in the future, I will ask my mother to tell your mother that she is a helper in the kitchen and should know when there is a shortage of staff. However, if your mother goes to the kitchen, will others say that you are also running dog?"

"Ah, will it?"

Margaret hadn't thought about it yet.

If Margaret is looked down upon by others, or alienated.Then Sheldon would rather her mother not work in the kitchen.

Feeling that she would rather be alienated than Margaret and her sister be alienated by other people.

I am a man and can bear it, but Margaret and her sister are girls.

Girls should not be looked down upon by others.

Sheldon: "It doesn't matter if you don't come to work in the kitchen, I will bring you food every day from now on."

Sheldon patted his chest for assurance.

"Thank you, Sheldon, you will always be my best friend."

"Well, we're going to be good friends forever."

Sheldon spent the afternoon playing with Margaret and his sister before scurrying back to the kitchen.

He didn't return to the dormitory until dinner time.Mother followed the cooks to push carts and carry buckets to each room to distribute food, and the dinner was that kind of black and mushy.

Although Sheldon was already full in the kitchen, he still had to go back to his room to get his own bowl to share.This can give my aunt a little more to eat.

Or to Margaret's family.

Before I got to the room, I heard commotion inside.

It turned out that the old lady died.

Some people are saying to report and get the body away quickly.

The one who said this was a woman named Sarah Hurt, a fat woman who usually slept next to the grandmother.

She said, "Well, I don't want to be with a dead man..."

She pointed at the old grandma from a distance, with a look of disgust on her face.

Margaret hugged her sister and cried there.

Her mother and another woman knelt there to pray.

Sheldon asked her quietly: "When did it happen, why did the old lady die? Wasn't she still fine when she came in the afternoon?

Margaret shook her head: "I don't know, I thought she was asleep.

When the adults came back, they couldn't wake her up.Mom said she was dead.

She went to see God and never had to suffer again. "

Before the old grandma died, if she could eat a piece of bread, she would have no regrets.

This is the only comfort for Sheldon after many years.

He was glad that at that time, he stole the bread and went out.

No wonder the grandma said she didn't need it at that time.She must know that she is going to die soon, right?

Sheldon didn't dare to be next to Margaret for too long, although no adults cared about the children at this time, he silently went back to his bunk and sat in a daze.
