Chapter 105: Chapter 105: One Per Person_1

The next morning, Shen Dashan led the men of the village, carrying hoes toward East Mountain.

Since the spring had still been flowing a few days before, today they planned to dig it open a bit more. Even if it stopped flowing, they were determined to dig upward from the spring’s eye to find its source!

"Pudgy girl!"

As Nanzhi was busy cooking in the kitchen, she heard someone calling at the door.

Upon hearing the words "pudgy girl," she knew in her heart who it was, remembering her two brothers had said they would come to visit her again, and quickly told Zhiyu to go open the door.

The little one nodded, her short legs hurrying along swiftly.

"Grandpa! Grandma!" The little one opened the door and immediately spotted the Lin Family parents standing there and called out excitedly.

"My dear grandson," said the Lin Family mother, as she scooped up Shen Zhiyu and entered the door.

Looking at the well-ordered courtyard, Lin Family mother’s eyes suddenly reddened.

She regretted not being able to help her daughter with anything; in the end, it had been the mother and son who had been troubled.

"Grandma, don’t cry, crying will make your face look shameful," Zhiyu, noticing that Lin Family mother was about to cry, quickly pulled out a small handkerchief to wipe her face.

This handkerchief had been specially made by his mother!

"Eh, okay, Grandma won’t cry," Lin Family mother said, smiling and stroking her grandson’s cheek before taking the handkerchief from his hand and wiping her tears.

Lin Family father, seeing his wife so moved, cleared his throat and asked, "Zhiyu, tell Grandpa, how has your mother been faring in the village?"

Gazing at his grandfather’s loving face, the little one was initially taken aback, but Nanzhi, hearing the noise in the kitchen, peeked her head out.

Seeing her own father and mother, she hurried out to greet them.

"Father, Mother, come in quickly, don’t stand out in the yard!"

"Eh, alright, alright."

The Lin Family mother put Zhiyu down and led her two daughters-in-law inside.

Shen Zhiyu, meanwhile, pulled Doudou and Maomao into the main room, not forgetting to say, "Brother Doudou, Brother Maomao, come in, let’s play with toys together!"

The Lin Family father and two brothers, left behind, exchanged a glance and heaved a silent sigh as they watched the women walk away.

The father went to the door, picked up a bag of clothes, and didn’t come back outside after he’d gone in.

Only Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng, the two brothers, exchanged helpless looks before they began to move their things.

Last night, the whole family sat together for one hour discussing the situation, deciding in the end to come seek refuge with Pudgy girl. They had packed all through the night; not wanting to cause a commotion that might draw attention, they left early with their belongings in tow.

Now, with their possessions piled at the doorway, it was up to the two brothers to slowly move them.

"Pudgy girl, I’m afraid this time we might have to trouble you," said the Lin Family mother, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Mother, what are you talking about? We’re all family, what’s a little trouble?" Nanzhi responded playfully, feigning annoyance to break Lin Family mother’s uneasy demeanor. "Now that you’re here, make yourself at home. Take a break for a little while. I’ll go make breakfast, and soon we’ll have a lively meal as one big family."

Once in the kitchen, Nanzhi looked at the bag of black flour and murmured to herself.

She couldn’t possibly serve black pancake for their first meal after her parents’ arrival.

Thinking it over, Nanzhi took out a bag of stale rice.

Might as well make porridge for breakfast.

Meanwhile, Sun Cui and Chen Qiulan found themselves unable to sit still in the main room.

This was originally a trip to seek refuge with my younger aunt and I’ve already troubled her enough, how could I just sit here and not help out?

The two sisters-in-law exchanged a look, and Chen Qiulan was the first to speak, "Mother, my sister-in-law and I will go help Fatty make the meal."

Lin’s mother nodded in satisfaction watching the two, "Go ahead."

Looking at the backs of her two daughters-in-law, Lin’s mother felt somewhat comforted.

She turned her head and saw her old partner sitting motionless and couldn’t help but get a bit irritated, so she finally said, "Why don’t you go help your sons move the stuff?"

"I’m just an old sack of bones, can’t I rest for a while?" mumbled Lin’s father, not saying much more and reluctantly getting up to move things.

Seeing his father coming over, Lin Yicheng couldn’t help but laugh secretly for a while before resuming his stern expression, "Father, why don’t you go sit and rest for a while? Ercheng and I can handle it."

Lin’s father glanced at his eldest son and gave a cold snort before going out to move the grain.

Not one of them was worry-free.

This time seeking refuge with them, they had moved almost all the home’s grain supply here, along with their clothing, savings, and even two quilts for winter.

After several trips back and forth, everything was finally in order.

Nanzhi looked somewhat bewildered at her two sisters-in-law who were helping her start the fire and pondered for a moment before asking, "Sisters-in-law, is there something you wanted to talk about?"

"Fatty, this time, we’ve really troubled you," Sun Cui said, her face blushing red.

In the past, when their younger aunt’s home was going through hard times, they didn’t look into it, and now their own home was unlivable, and they had to seek refuge with her and her nephew.

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? We’re all family, there’s no such thing as trouble," said Nanzhi genuinely.

Nanzhi, from the bottom of her heart, didn’t really feel it was any trouble; she had already been living with just Zhiyu, and if her two brothers hadn’t come over to help and take charge previously, she and her son might have had trouble even getting a hot meal.

Now, it was just the whole family living together, and there was no talk of being troubled or not.

Once the porridge was ready, Nanzhi boiled ten eggs and then called everyone to eat.

Seeing the porridge and eggs on the table, the Lin family fell into silence.

"Father, mother, let’s eat," Nanzhi said, looking at them not moving their chopsticks and not understanding for a moment.

Could it be that they didn’t trust her cooking skills?

However, Shen Zhiyu was the first to take two eggs; he gave one to Lin’s father, then Lin’s mother, and then placed one in front of everyone at the table before settling down to his own seat, "The last one is for Zhiyu!"

The little one, just taller than the table, was very careful peeling his egg, his actions momentarily startling everyone.

Lin’s mother watched her grandsons Doudou and Maomao eyeing the eggs in front of them, wanting to eat but not daring to touch, and her eyes reddened.

"Doudou, Maomao, eat. This is from your little aunt. Eat up," she said.

With Lin’s mother’s permission, the two boys cautiously began to peel their eggs, afraid of peeling off any of the white.

Sun Cui whispered, "Fatty, I won’t eat the egg. Keep it for Zhiyu."

Lin Ercheng paused his egg-eating, but it was already half bitten, so he was unsure whether to eat or not.

He looked at his wife with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin’s mother interceded, "Ercheng’s wife, what are you saying? Hurry up and eat."

With the mother-in-law speaking up, Sun Cui nodded and didn’t speak further.

But the rims of her eyes slowly turned red.

Although the two men of the house had caught some rabbits and wild chickens during this time, they were mostly preserved by drying and seldom consumed at home, focusing on feeding the children first whenever they had meat.

She had never considered that they might be able to eat a whole egg at her younger niece’s home.
