Chapter 313: Mo Wu’s River Plunge and Xiao Ruiyuan’s Search (8)_1
Tie Tou wouldn’t dream of looking down on them, let alone burn them. His eyes reddened as he took off his coat and put on the soft and thick new cotton-padded clothes; the new jacket was worn on the outside as well.
Not long after wearing them, his body began to warm up, and his frozen hands also regained warmth. Wiping his face, Tie Tou sat in front of the stove, fondly touching the bit of cotton clothing that peeked out from the sleeves. It was the first time he had ever worn such warm new cotton-padded clothes!
While the family gathered around the table for breakfast, upon learning that Lao Mo’s House didn’t have breakfast and that Tie Tou hadn’t eaten either, Mo Yan quickly called him over to join them.
"No, no, I, I’m not hungry!" Tie Tou said, feeling awkward and looking down, but the fragrant scent of corn porridge and pork buns on the table kept wafting into his nose, and uncontrollably, his stomach growled.
Zhenzhen was about to cover her mouth and stealthily giggle when Mo Yan fixed her with a stern look.
"Brother Tie Tou, even if you’re not hungry, you should eat a little. Otherwise, you might not be able to move the grain in the shop," Mo Yan said naturally, pulling him to sit at the table. Lixiu had already gone to the kitchen to serve him a large bowl of corn porridge.
Sitting at the table, Tie Tou felt out of place. His mother had instructed him before he left to work hard and not to be lazy just because the shop belonged to his cousin. But now, before even starting work, he had put on new cotton clothes and was about to eat. How could this be alright!
Seeing that he wasn’t moving, Zhenzhen quickly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and stuffed them into his right hand, then took a big pork bun from the basket and stuffed it into his left hand, saying somewhat imperiously, "Big cousin, this is the corn porridge and buns made by my sister. They’re really delicious! Eat them quickly. If you don’t, it’s like you’re disrespecting us."
Tie Tou, being simple-minded, thought not eating would indeed be disrespectful. He hurriedly took a bite of the bun. The skin of the bun was thin, and the filling was plentiful, with chicken broth mixed in. One bite filled his mouth with the flavor of the meat.
Such a delicious pork bun had not only never been tasted by Tie Tou before but also not by Lizhong, who had once been well-off, until he came to the Mo Family.
