Chapter 27 28: Neighbors (3)

After a simple wash, Lin Yan's discomfort when he woke up disappeared, and he pursed his lips in anticipation, and hurried to the table to sit down to eat.

Every day, what Lin Yan looks forward to most is the morning and evening.In the morning, Lin Xiang was at home, so he ate quite satisfactorily. In the evening, Lin Xiang would get some cooked food from the restaurant, which tasted very good.

Only at noon, he eats the most tasteless.

"Look at you." Lin Xiang couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed.After all, for a while, I felt a little sour in my heart.

In modern times, my younger brother An Sheng never ate a meal during the meal, but now it is better, and he is no longer picky when he sees what he eats.It's not that it's not good to eat on time, but compared with before, this situation makes people feel uncomfortable.

After putting all the hot meals on the table, Lin Xiang handed Lin Yan two warm buns.

"I made some noodles today, let's eat noodles tonight." Lin Xiang said while drinking bone soup.

"Enn." Lin Yan nodded, picked up the fat white steamed bun, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

After breakfast, Lin Xiang straightened his clothes, tied up his hair again, and was ready to go out.

Before leaving, Lin Xiang used the big soup bowl at home to fill a large bowl of bone soup, which was steaming hot and still emitting white mist.

……

"Thump, thud, thump." Lin Xiang gathered the corners of his clothes with his fingers, stood in a room not far from their house, and knocked on the door.

Looking up, I thought: It should be right here.

Lin Xiang nodded, seeing that no one answered the door, he knocked again——

"Who is it, here it is—" Lin Xiang faintly heard a female voice coming from outside the room.

"Squeak—" With a sound, the door swung open.

Dressed in coarse linen, with black hair pulled back, the slightly plump lady, the cold wind blows in through the open door, shivering, she opened the door with one hand, and at a glance saw the door standing A thin and yellow little girl.

Seeing this, the woman was a little puzzled, and said, "Are you—?"

Lin Xiang hurriedly said: "Auntie, you were the one who brought food to my younger brother a few days ago." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The woman didn't react for a while when she heard the words, but after a while, she came back to her senses and replied: "Ah, you are talking about that bowl of soup."

Lin Xiang nodded and smiled.

The woman pursed her lips when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiang hurriedly brought a bowl of steaming soup in his hand to the woman, and said, "I would like to thank my aunt for your concern. My brother and I don't have much money. Thank you for the food. This is cooked by my family. bone soup." As he spoke, he sent the soup bowl forward.

When the woman heard this, she frowned hastily and waved her hands: "Oh, what did I think it was? It turned out to be such a trivial matter. It's just a little food, so don't take it to heart."

Lin Xiang disagreed: "Auntie's remark is offended. As a neighbor, this kind of food is a wish. If Auntie refuses, won't my bowl of food be wasted?"

"Mother, mother, who is it!" Suddenly, walking through the open door, Lin Xiang saw two half-grown children bouncing up to the woman's side, holding their fingers and looking at her curiously. Lin Xiang is gone.

Cursing his lips, Lin Xiang smiled: "I am the elder sister who lives next door. This is food for you. Do you want to have a taste?"

When the two four or five-year-old children heard this, they clicked their mouths.

Lin Xiang squatted down and sent the soup bowl to someone——

The milky white soup was floating upwards with the mist and heat, exuding a tempting aroma.

Lin Xiang looked at the two swallowing children, and said with a smile, "Auntie, take it quickly. Every family has a hard time these days."

After hearing the words, the woman looked at the two children who were pointing their fingers, frowned, and for a moment, sighed helplessly, and said, "Then I have to thank you more, girl."

Yes, what Lin Xiang said was right. This woman has three children in total, two of whom are about four or five years old, and one is still breastfeeding.

The source of income for the family is that the men go to work at the wharf early in the morning, or do some heavy goods. She also embroiders some handkerchiefs on weekdays, and sells the sachets in the market. The daily income is about less than fifteen copper coins.

It is really not easy to feed the baby and cook food for the two little ones at the same time.

A few days ago, if it weren't for the little boy at the opposite door who looked dry and thin and hungry, how could he send a big bowl of food.

Thinking about it, it must be difficult for the children of this family, who are not as round as their children, but the soft-hearted thing is that the other party has not forgotten to repay this bit of kindness.

Reaching out to take the hot soup bowl, the two little dolls beside the woman grabbed the corners of the woman's clothes one after another, looking impatient.

"We will be neighbors in the future, and the girl will just call me Sister-in-law Wang. If you have any difficulties, come and talk to sister-in-law." The woman smiled and looked at Lin Xiang, who was also thin and yellow.

Smiling, Lin Xiang nodded: "Thank you sister-in-law, my name is Lin Xiang, and my brother's name is Lin Yan."

"The two dolls are ignorant, but they know they are gluttonous. This is the big tiger, and the second tiger is next to them." Sister-in-law Wang patted the two round sons with her fingers in disgust.

Lin Xiang smiled, greeted the two dolls, and said a few words.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lin Xiang left the place in a hurry.

……

Sister-in-law Wang led the two tigers into the house, and after Lin Xiang walked away, she hurriedly closed the wooden door that was leaking.

The two greedy children here took the bowls and chopsticks at home impatiently.

As soon as Mrs. Wang turned her head, she saw the two children biting their fingers with anticipation.

"What a glutton, I don't know who this looks like!" Sister Wang glared at the two dolls angrily. Although she was cursing in her mouth and looked a little unwelcome, her hands moved faster.

While it was still warm, Mrs. Wang filled two big bowls and served them to the children.

The two children couldn't wait to close their mouths and took a deep breath.

"Zi Liu Liu—"

The eyes suddenly widened, and the two children clicked their mouths, drooling——

"Mother, mother, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's better than what you make!" The two children spoke freely and did not give their mother any face.

Immediately lowered their heads, the big tiger and the two tigers didn't raise their heads again, they just ate.

Sister-in-law Wang cast a sharp glance at the two dolls, took a sip from the soup bowl, clicked her mouth twice, raised her eyebrows, and suddenly became surprised: It really tastes delicious!
He leaned closer and took two more sips.

Fresh, smooth and tender, with a touch of sweetness, the crispy and rich aroma goes straight into the nose and throat.

The sweet and salty balance is just right, the taste buds take a sip, and clamor for the next sip.

The taste is unforgettable, and the aftertaste is still there. Immediately, Mrs. Wang is a little reluctant to take a second sip.
