Chapter 620: Chapter 621: You Won’t Starve at Home Chapter 620: Chapter 621: You Won’t Starve at Home They still liked it quite a bit.

So, every day after completing that day’s study tasks, the three children would go play together nearby.

The place was not too far from home, and the gathering of children there was not small. Everyone would play for a day or two and soon became good friends.

Xiao’ai had come back recently, her daily smiles and conversations had increased significantly.

Several times she found that the three children were deeply engaged in their conversations and games in the western room.

In front of the stove, heat surged, the aroma of freshly cooked food filled the air, and occasionally, bursts of laughter and chatter from the children could be heard.

Suddenly, Su Shu felt that sometimes, the simple pleasures of life could be really appealing.

Ever since two more children had joined the family, the daily meals had doubled.

Xiaopang, when he first arrived, still clung to the idea that he shouldn’t eat more, setting his chopsticks down after just a few bites and pretending he was full even though his mouth watered.

Su Shu had advised him twice, but seeing that he still ate sparingly at the next meal, she sighed deeply.

Lu Tong was the same, never eating more than necessary, very restrained.

Su Shu was someone who, before accepting, wouldn’t meddle too much, but once she accepted, she wouldn’t give up easily, let alone mistreat the two children.

Before she agreed to let Lu Tong stay at her house, even if Tang Zelin personally pleaded with her, she still needed time to consider.

But once she decided to do something, she naturally would take good care of Lu Tong.

Su Shu had an invisible boundary around her, and the difference in treatment between those inside and outside of it was stark.

She worried if they continued to eat like this, it might not be long before the two boys starved in her house.

Having no other choice, she thought about it and then took them to the cellar and storeroom where the family’s foods were stored to have a look.

Those filled-to-the-brim cans, rice, sausages… so much food?

Standing behind them, Su Shu said, “See, our family won’t go hungry temporarily, so when it’s time to eat, eat well. If we were really to run out of food, you’d want to eat more but couldn’t, so from now on during meals, eat as much as you should, hear me?”

Xiaopang’s eyes widened, and his chubby fingers brushed the edge of a can before cautiously withdrawing them.

After a while, he shyly glanced at Su Shu, said nothing, and ran out.

Lu Tong stood there for a while before turning around and asking her, “The supplies are countable, if we eat too much now, there won’t be any food left later on.”

She knew what he meant.

It was simply that their presence could burden her family.

Su Shu smiled faintly, “If I couldn’t feed two children, why would I have brought you here? Since I decided to take you in, it means I am willing and able to shoulder that responsibility.”

Lu Tong pondered for a moment and then nodded, “Then I understand.”

“That’s more like it. Otherwise, if you two keep eating sparingly every day, Xiao’ai will think she’s the only one who eats a lot and follow suit.” Su Shu said with a deliberately light and amused tone.

Looking into her eyes, Lu Tong said, “Aunt Su, then don’t be so formal with me. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me.”

Su Shu’s eyes crinkled with a smile, looking at a nine-year-old trying hard to act nineteen.

“Taking good care of Xiao’ai is the greatest help you can offer me. Can you do that?”

“I can!” Lu Tong replied without hesitation.
