Chapter 34: Meat Buns (Part 1)

In the past, when Ma Yumei said something like this, Zhao Weiguo would definitely agree.

But now, after looking at Zhao Xiulan and then at Zhao Xiu Zhu, Zhao Weiguo couldn’t bring himself to be so selfish.

His daughters were also his children. He had let the two children suffer for a long time. Just now, he was thinking about making it up to them. He couldn’t turn around and do something excessive like that.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Weiguo said in a deep voice, “The grain was begged by Xiulan. We’ll eat together tonight, and when we run out of grain, I’ll figure something out!”

“Weiguo…”

“Enough, there’s no discussion about this. Xiulan worked hard to beg for some grain. As a stepmother, even if I can’t treat you like my own mother, I should at least be considerate of the children, right? Xiulan is my daughter, and the grain was begged by her. It’s not easy to have something to eat. I also hope she can eat enough!”

Zhao Weiguo expressed this matter with a serious face, leaving no room for negotiation.

Ma Yumei could also hear that Zhao Weiguo was implying that she had mistreated Zhao Xiulan and Zhao Xiu Zhu…

Ma Yumei’s face flushed for a moment. She didn’t say anything more and turned around angrily, walking back into the house, with an attitude of sulking against Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Weiguo saw Ma Yumei’s departing figure and didn’t go to coax her as he usually did when Ma Yumei got angry. Instead, he let Ma Yumei go back to the house.

Zhao Xiulan was very satisfied with Zhao Weiguo’s actions.

Her pig-headed dad seemed to be getting more sensible now. What Zhao Weiguo said and did just now made Zhao Xiulan feel that he had changed, unlike before.

Li Lijuan also glared angrily at Zhao Xiulan and then returned to the house.

Seeing Li Lijuan and Ma Yumei both entering the house, Zhao Xiulan said to Zhao Weiguo, “Dad, I’m going back to rest for a while. I’ll go to the production team in the afternoon to earn work points!”

As soon as Zhao Weiguo heard this, he immediately said, “Xiulan, you’ve already been to the county town once this morning. Going to work in the afternoon again, isn’t it too tiring? Why don’t you just rest at home? Anyway, I’ve already asked for leave from the team leader for you!”

But Zhao Xiulan shook her head and said, “Dad, it’s okay. It’s just staying at home anyway. It’s better to go to work and earn more work points. When it’s time to distribute the grain, I can get more grain.”

Hearing Zhao Xiulan’s words, Zhao Weiguo’s eyes suddenly turned red. His sensible daughter made people feel distressed.

Looking at Li Lijuan again, she came back after working just one morning and complained about being tired. The contrast was too obvious.

Sniffling, Zhao Weiguo said to Zhao Xiulan, “Xiulan, then you go and rest for a while now!”

“Okay, Dad!”

Before Zhao Xiulan went back to the house, she called Zhao Xiu Zhu and let Zhao Xiu Zhu enter the house with her.

After the two entered the house, Zhao Xiulan quickly closed the door, looked outside the window to confirm that no one was there, then secretly took out a meat bun from the space and handed it to Zhao Xiu Zhu.

Zhao Xiu Zhu didn’t know it was filled with meat, but when she saw the big white bun, her eyes were immediately drawn to it. She couldn’t help but swallow, then lowered her voice and said excitedly to Zhao Xiulan, “Sister, this is a white bun! Where did you get such a good thing?”

Zhao Xiulan smiled and patted Zhao Xiu Zhu’s head, then handed the meat bun to her, “Today, when I was begging for food, a kind old lady in the county town gave it to me. She gave me two, and they’re both filled with meat. I couldn’t help it on the way and already ate one. I saved one specifically for you to eat. This good thing, let’s eat it secretly. Don’t let Auntie Mei and Li Lijuan know.”
