Chapter 4. Surprises one after another
"Mmm," Old Man Hua nodded, "Let's eat," he continued.
Having been working in the fields since early morning, he was truly hungry.
At the words of the head of the household, Old Lady Hua quickly began to portion out the coarse bread.
Each bread was as big as an adult man's palm, and in Jin'er's eyes, it was not small. Just half of it with a bowl of thick porridge was enough to fill her up.
But farm folks exert a lot of effort, especially the men in the family. If they really opened up to eat, they wouldn't be full without four or five, which was just a normal portion.
But such open eating was not possible, after all, life had to be lived frugally.
Old Lady Hua allotted three pieces of the bread to the head of the household and her son, two to her little grandson, and she and her daughter-in-law also got two each. Jin'er's appetite was smaller, so she got one, with the rest saved for dinner.
This was because Jin'er needed to recuperate from her injuries and ate three meals a day. In normal situations, except during busy farming periods, farm families usually had only two meals a day.
But such a large piece of bread was really too much for Jin'er, so she directly divided the bread into three pieces and gave them to grandpa and daddy.
They worked the most and got hungry the fastest.
The two of them grinned from ear to ear at the bread handed over by their granddaughter (daughter), making Old Lady Hua want to roll her eyes and mutter, "So pleased with yourselves."
