Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 717 A Hearty Meal

Little York went to mow the grass during the day without telling his mother, and put a little bit of beans in exchange for the grass in the grain tank. He thought his mother didn't know,

But in fact, Monia already knew.

They all live in such a village, how could they hide it from her?

For the beans in the grain tank, Monia counted them almost every meal. How could he not know that there were a little more beans today than yesterday?

Recalling those nights when little York was tossing and turning in pain and unable to sleep, Monia's nose felt a little sore.

originally,

These things should not be considered at his age.

At his age, he should be the most carefree, running all over the mountains and fields without being scolded by adults. After passing this young age, he will not be called by his parents to help do some simple things until he is seven or eight years old. Work, after the age of 13 will be truly counted as a member of the family labor.

but,

Now this child is extremely guilty of eating black bread because he was too hungry.

This made Monia's eyes turn red.

She stretched out her hand, gently stroked Little York's head, and said softly:
"It's okay, York, eat as much as you like. This is the food you went to collect. It belongs to you. How about we eat black bread for this meal?"

"But, mother, don't you have to trade these things for beans with Old Brown?"

Little York raised his head, his eyes were full of doubts, but at the same time there was also some hope.

"No, no need, let's talk about it after eating. Since the benevolent master said that everyone can go to collect the food, it shouldn't be a problem for me to go to collect the food later."

With a kind smile in her eyes, Monia gently comforted her little son.

"But, Mom, everyone in the village says that the old man was sent by the devil to bring us disaster."

Little York's voice was a little hesitant, and his face obviously struggled.

"York, don't listen to what people say is right, what do you think of that master?"

Monia interrupted York and asked back.

"Well, he looks a bit fierce, and he doesn't speak very kindly, but that old man should be pretty good."

Little York remembered,

When the village chief was picking up the black bread, he originally planned to take two pieces, but then he paused and took another piece, and then he stuffed a small bag of wheat into Little York's hand.

The pause in that movement was noticed by Little York and remembered in his heart.

"That's it, York, remember to stick to your own opinion in the future, and don't be blinded by other people's eyes."

Monia said encouragingly,

"Come on, let's eat these black bread together first, and leave the rest to mom."

As soon as the voice changed, there was a trace of strength and confidence in the words that Little York had never seen before.

"Don't you think, York, that if you dare to do something as a child, your mother as an adult would not dare to go and get food?"

I don't know why,
Little York felt that something inexplicable had happened to his mother.

Being a mother is stronger.

Maybe,

This was the feeling of dying of hunger before, which made Monia figure out something,

Since people are about to starve to death, why do they think so much, why not have a good meal.

Monia looked at the black bread on the shabby table beside her, wiped her short skirt with her hands, and grabbed the black bread on the table tremblingly.

I haven't eaten for two days,

Monia's heart was far from being as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.

There is a flame burning in the stomach,

She put a whole loaf of the two and a half pieces of black bread in Little York's hand, and then picked up the half piece that Little York had eaten on the road and held it in her hand.

"Come on, York, let's eat together."

Little York nodded heavily,

In any case, after all, he was just a child who was easily persuaded by his mother.

What's more, although I couldn't help eating half a piece of black bread on the way, I was hungry for too long, and my stomach was only half full.

that delicious,

Tasted Little York could not stand it at all.

But when he took the whole piece of black bread handed over by his mother, he saw the piece of black bread in his mother's hand that looked like leftovers.
After thinking about it, he snatched the half piece from his mother's hand and stuffed the whole piece into his mother's hand.

"Mom, I've already eaten half a piece of black bread on the way, and I'm full enough. I'll give you this piece, and give me the remaining half piece."

Speaking of which, Little York burped and patted his stomach vigorously:
"Look, I almost can't hold my stomach anymore."

Monia suddenly smiled,

Touched Little York's head,
The eye sockets are a little red.

"Okay, mom will listen to you."

Think about it,
Little York patted his sleeping brother awake again,

Maybe it was because he was too hungry. The child fell into a deep sleep at noon. After such a series of things happened, Little York’s two or three-year-old brother was still sleeping soundly. Occasionally, he only uttered a dream talk, but did not wake up.

Little York broke off his own half, and stuffed it into the hands of his younger brother who was waking up from his brother's slap.

Then I didn’t forget about my sister who was a few months old,

Soak a small piece of black bread in water into a soft paste,
Then feed a little liquid food to my baby sister.

Under Monia's benevolent smile,
At this noon, the family ate the most sumptuous meal this year.

A gentle feast.

This sumptuous meal,
Whether it is big or small, they all gobbled it up.

They have been without food for two days,
I just feel that this meal is the most delicious lunch in my life.

As in a dry and dying field,
There was an urgent life-saving rain, and the dry wheat seedlings were moisturized.

The black bread that Little York went to the castle to get brought this family that was about to be broken back from the death line.

After eating a whole loaf of black bread,

Monia rarely felt a full stomach, like an illusion, and her strength grew accordingly.

I packed up my things,
She wrapped her infant daughter in a tattered baby cloth and carried it on her back, while holding the hand of her two or three-year-old son with the other hand.

After thinking about it, he hugged the broken wooden basin that was full of gaps on the edge.

"Mother?"

Seeing his mother preparing to go out, Little York was a little puzzled.

Monia touched Little York's head, smiled and said:
"York, you stay at home and take care of your home. Mommy will go to the master to bring back the food. Come as you go."

Subsequently,

And as if talking to himself:

"Since the benevolent master said that everyone can go to get the food, then these two children will also have a share. I hope that for the sake of the Lord, the benevolent master can give a little more."

get as much benefit as possible,

This is the survival wisdom of the serfs at the bottom.

Ps:

The fourth update is finished, and today it seems that the fifth update cannot be completed.

Try to write some more after taking a shower, and treat it as a manuscript for tomorrow.
