Chapter 1401 the journey to the South China Sea

There was no oil in the simple four dishes.

They looked very bland, but these four dishes were probably the best in their family.

Xu Ying followed Lin Lei's gaze and looked at the four dishes on the table with an awkward smile. "sorry for the joke. Our family's conditions are not very good.

"This dish is really not good enough. You guys can have a bite of it. " She could not help but tug at the corner of her clothes, worried that the other party would say something disrespectful.

Lin Lei waved her hand and sat down on the stool very casually.

In the end, she realized that she had almost broken the stool because she had used too much force.

After trying to sit firmly, she said, "Auntie, why are there no chopsticks on the table.

"I'm hungry. The dishes you've made are very appetizing. "

"There are! " Xu Ying wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. It had been a long time since there had been a guest in the house. She was really too excited. She turned around and quickly went to look for chopsticks.

Song Yi and the others also found chairs and slowly sat down.

After the five of them sat down, the table was a little small. It was just right for them to sit together.

Lin Lei let the little girl sit directly next to her and asked with a smile, "what's your name? ''

"My name is Li Yu. I'm five years old this year. ".

"sister, what's your name? "

The little girl was very interesting. Lin Lei picked up a stone on the ground and wrote Lin Lei's name on the ground.

"This is my name, Lin Lei. "

Li Yu's eyes sparkled as she stared at the two words on the ground.

"sister, can you help me write my name as well?

My fish is the fish of the big fish and the fish of the small fish.

Mother said that she chose this name so that I could survive."

Lin Lei immediately wrote the two words on the ground, Li Yu, "look, these two words are your name.

"when you go to school in the future, the teacher will teach you how to write. "

Li Yu's eyes lit up and quickly darkened again. She lowered her head and clutched the corner of her clothes as she said, "my family doesn't have money, so I won't go to school in the future.

My mother said that it's useless for a girl to go to school and spend money for nothing. She might as well save up for my dowry!"

"Ya, what nonsense are you talking about! " Xu Ying walked in from outside with a pair of chopsticks in her hand. When she heard her daughter's words, she felt very guilty.

The family was really too poor. They could not afford to send her daughter to school. They could only use words to brush her off. She did not expect her daughter to be so young. She actually remembered it in her heart.

The chopsticks were placed on the table. Lin Lei picked them up and took a look. The chopsticks were very new. It could be said that they did not fit in with the family.

She guessed in her heart that these chopsticks should be used to entertain guests.

After the guests left, the chopsticks would be rewashed and put away so that they could be used the next time the guests came.

This house is too poor, Lin Lei sighed in her heart.

Xu Ying turned around and returned to the kitchen to bring a basin over.

"everyone, make way. There is no more rice in the house. Just make do with it and eat the noodles.

Don't worry, they are all made from new grains. They taste quite sweet and definitely won't be bitter."

The basin was placed on the table. Lin Lei looked at the noodles in it and couldn't help but frown. The basin was quite big, but the noodles were probably just a few bowls.

It seemed that their family really didn't have any more grain.

It was possible that this bowl of noodles was their last grain.

Xu Ying saw that everyone didn't eat, so she quickly said, "everyone, eat quickly. Don't be polite with me.

Just treat my house as your house.

If there's anything that's not enough, you must tell me."
