Chapter 196 Original Sin 5
Yun Shuangshuang inserted one end of the hollow grass straw into the crack of the door, and said to Feng Jinyan, who had crawled in front of her, "Mom, come drink this. It’s wild egg, very nutritious, eat up quickly!"
Feng Jinyan was very hungry. She could only eat one meal a day on average, and it was still leftover scraps that didn’t fill her up. The bowl in Yun Shuangshuang’s hand emitted a tempting aroma.
She crawled to the door, eagerly took the straw that Yun Shuangshuang had fed through the door crack in her mouth, and took a deep sip. A rich and silky substance entered her mouth! So delicious! It tasted so good that the stomach, which was constantly aching from hunger, seemed soothed instantly. An unparalleled sense of satisfaction rose from her heart.
After taking a few sips and alleviating the hunger in her belly, Feng Jinyan seemed to remember something and stopped. She pushed the straw away and smiled at Yun Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, eat, delicious, Shuangshuang eat!"
Feng Jinyan’s words were intermittent, but the meaning was very clear. She wanted to leave this delicious food to Yun Shuangshuang to eat, and no matter how much Yun Shuangshuang said she wasn’t hungry, she insisted on making Yun Shuangshuang eat.
Seeing how Feng Jinyan refused to eat, Yun Shuangshuang, worried about the potential trouble if someone came back and saw them, got another hollow straw, put it in the bowl, and smiled at Feng Jinyan, "I’ll eat with Mom." As she spoke, Yun Shuangshuang pretended to drink a big sip.
Feng Jinyan didn’t know Yun Shuangshuang was pretending to eat. Seeing Yun Shuangshuang eat, she was satisfied and lowered her head to continue drinking slowly, seemingly wanting Yun Shuangshuang to drink more. Of course, she didn’t know that the entire bowl of egg broth was actually consumed by her alone.
After Feng Jinyan finished eating, Yun Shuangshuang quickly washed the bowl and started preparing the mushrooms she had collected. First, she laid out all the mushrooms carefully on a clean straw mat, then took out the wild vegetables that had been placed between the mushrooms, her fingers moving swiftly. One by one, beautiful, emerald green small baskets made from wild grass gradually formed in Yun Shuangshuang’s hands.
Soon, ten beautiful green baskets were formed from Yun Shuangshuang’s hands. She sorted the mushrooms by variety, putting one type in each basket. With this arrangement, the originally good-looking mushrooms looked even more high-end.
After putting the mushrooms into the bamboo basket, the sky was already getting dark. Yun Shuangshuang started busying herself with feeding the pigs and chickens and preparing dinner. There were still many wild vegetables she had gathered earlier. Although Yun Shuangshuang didn’t dig for wild vegetables today, she wasn’t short of food for the chickens and pigs at home.
When dinner was over, the Yun Family returned punctually: Yun Shuangshuang’s grandfather Yun Zheng, grandmother Wang Guixiang, father Yun He, uncle Yun Ling, and aunt Liu Mei, along with her younger cousin Yun Chen, who came into the courtyard shouting.
Yun Shuangshuang put all the mushrooms in the bamboo basket, covered them with grass, and placed them in an inconspicuous and cooler place, so no one noticed. Yun Shuangshuang planned to talk to the Yun Family about conditions once she sold the mushrooms for money.
One night passed, and early the next morning, Yun Shuangshuang put on a small basket laden with mushrooms and ran out without informing the Yun Family. Previously, Yun Shuangshuang went out early to dig wild vegetables frequently, so the Yun Family wouldn’t go looking for her just because she wasn’t seen early in the morning.
