Chapter 407 - 408 The First Meal in Each Room 2
A few days ago, Helian Qiao caught some sparrows and Ma Xiulian had been raising them without eating them.
Early this morning, she slaughtered them to stew a sparrow soup for her little granddaughter, the soup simmered to a particularly rich and fragrant.
Only Zhao Mei was the most frugal. She just cooked brown rice porridge and sweet potato cakes, and she being pregnant, she had two extra eggs for nutrition.
Erni was drooling from the scent coming from the other houses, seeing only clear porridge and sweet potato cakes on the table, she immediately pouted and mumbled, "Mom, look at how everyone else has meat to eat, I want some too!"
She thought that after the family split, without her grandmother favoring others over her, she would be able to eat meat every day like Guibao, but what was with all these things!
"Erni, we need to save food. If we eat it now, we won’t have any later. Eating meat once a month is enough," Zhao Mei said quietly.
The rooms each divided up the same items, but their family had the most people. Not to mention the three daughters, there was also another one in her belly.
If it turns out to be a boy, he’ll have to marry and take a wife when he grows up, so she had to plan well for the future.
But seeing her second daughter looking pitiful, she still gave her a bit of egg from her bowl to eat.
