"Auntie, today is my kind mother-in-law's birthday. If she hadn't saved my mother, I would not have a mother. Can you sell me a piece of meat? I want to make dumplings for my kind mother-in-law." The girl looked regretful, but she still wanted to try her best to impress the woman selling pork.

Although the woman wanted to help the little girl very much, but her man was sick, and there were still four or five mouths waiting to eat at home, so she had more energy than she wanted.

She sighed: "There is really no way for a copper coin, or you can go back and ask your mother to bring some more money."

At this time, a customer just came up, and the woman selling pork started chatting with the customer.

Taking advantage of the woman selling pork not paying attention, the little girl secretly took a piece of meat, turned around and ran away.

"Hey, why hasn't this kid learned well since he was a child?" Xiao Jin hurried forward to stop him, but was stopped by Zhuo Xiaofan: "That little girl looks kind and innocent, she doesn't seem like she will do bad things, go and get her The money for the meat is settled, let's follow up and have a look."

Xiao Jin made some meat money, and then together with Zhuo Xiaofan followed the little girl to a dilapidated thatched cottage.

Can people live in such a house?
Needless to say it was raining, even a gust of wind would blow away the thatched cottage.

People in Dongchuan lived a hard life, Zhuo Xiaofan believed it only after seeing it with his own eyes.

"Brother, the meat is here." The little girl said excitedly.

Hearing the little girl's voice, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy ran out and touched the little girl's head excitedly. He subconsciously licked his tongue. He didn't know how long he hadn't tasted meat.

It's just that when he saw the meat, the expression on his face was a little confused: "Sister, can this copper coin buy so much meat?"

The younger sister's expression was very unnatural: "Brother, the boss saw that I was pitiful, so he cut some more meat for me."

But when the sister handed the meat to the brother, a copper plate in her hand accidentally fell out.

"Sister, you didn't spend money to buy so much meat, did you steal this meat?" The elder brother was full of displeasure.

"Brother, keep your voice down, let mom hear, you're going to scold me again." The younger sister said worriedly.

There was a violent coughing sound from inside: "Xiao Ni, how many times have I told you that we are poor and ambitious, even if we starve to death, we can't do such stealthy things. You are so disappointing to my mother."

Hearing her mother's scolding, the younger sister burst into tears: "Mother, don't be angry, that kind mother-in-law saved Mother's life, and today is her birthday again, I just want to cook dumplings for her kind mother-in-law. "

The woman in the back room sighed: "Hey, it's all my fault for not living up to my health. There are still a few copper coins in this cabinet. You can make up for it."

"Mom, that's your life-saving medicine money, don't touch it." The little boy was in a hurry.

"But Xiao Ni is right, that kind man saved my life, we should cook some dumplings." The woman sighed deeply.

Hearing these words, Zhuo Xiaofan's face was sad, I really don't know how those young masters in the imperial capital would feel when they saw such a scene, the rich wine and meat stinks and the road is frozen to death!If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhuo Xiaofan really wouldn't believe it.

It's really sad to have to exchange life-saving medicine money for a meal of dumplings.

"Mother, how about I return the meat and make a vegetarian dumpling for my kind mother-in-law." The little boy asked his mother for advice.

"Well, that's the only way to go. One day in the future, when your life is better, you must repay him well." The woman said with emotion.Her husband passed away very early, and she was in poor health. She was pulling these children by herself. Her fate was unlucky. If it weren't for these children, she really didn't have the courage to live.

Zhuo Xiaofan, who was hiding at the door, felt very blocked when he heard it.As the governor, he thought in his heart that he must make Dong Chuan's life rich.

As the governor, he said in his heart that he must make the lives of Dongchuan people rich.

Seeing that the boy was going to return the meat, Zhuo Xiaofan came out and said to the boy: "No need to pay back, uncle has already given the money for the meat."

"Really? Thank you Uncle." The boy had a grateful smile on his face.A small piece of meat can make the boy so grateful, such a scene makes people feel a little sad.

"You're welcome, it's uncle's fault. Uncle will definitely make your life better in the future." The little boy nodded half-understanding. At this moment, he was so full of joy that he had no time to understand Zhuo Xiaofan's words. .

"Uncle, thank you. Why don't you stay and eat dumplings together." The little boy invited sincerely. For him, being able to eat meat-filled dumplings is already the most delicious taste in the world.The little boy felt that Zhuo Xiaofan had helped him, so he was willing to share the most precious things with Zhuo Xiaofan.

"Okay, okay." Zhuo Xiaofan said in a complicated mood.

Zhuo Xiaofan and Xiao Jin stayed and watched the little boy and his younger brothers and sisters make dough together, then minced the meat and added seasonings, the four children were extremely busy.Because of this dumpling, they showed happy smiles on their sallow and thin faces.The faces of the four children were filled with happy smiles, just like celebrating the new year. The momentary happiness made them forget the hardships caused by poverty.

The water boiled and boiled, watching the dumplings rolling in the water, the children watched with joy, the two younger brothers and sisters, who were only about four or five years old, looked at the hot dumplings in the water, and their saliva was about to drip up.

Finally waited until the dumplings were cooked.But when the dumplings were taken out, the children were dumbfounded. Most of the dumpling skins were broken, and the meat filling was also scattered in the soup.

The children looked at the broken dumplings with distressed eyes, as if watching an extremely rare treasure being broken.

Those two children, who were only three or four years old, even had teary eyes, looking extremely distressed.

Seeing this, Zhuo Xiaofan felt even more uncomfortable.

The little boy picked up the dumplings.The younger brothers and sisters next to them swallowed hard while looking at the dumplings on the plate.

"Brother, what do dumplings taste like?" the four-year-old brother asked.

The little boy looked at the miserable appearance of the younger brother, and sighed: "Come on, you three, each of you can taste one, and you can only taste one, understand?"

The three younger brothers and sisters nodded, although there was only one, but their faces were filled with happy smiles, as if they were about to eat delicious food.

The little boy didn't eat it himself, but gave each of his three younger siblings a dumpling with a broken skin.

The three younger brothers and sisters happily finished eating the dumplings as if they were celebrating the New Year, and then swallowed their saliva.

"Okay, these are for mom and that kind mother-in-law, you can't eat any more." The little boy put the lid on the bowl, so as to cut off the thoughts of these greedy cats.

The little boy put the remaining dumplings in a broken bowl, and then brought the small portion of dumplings to Zhuo Xiaofan and Xiao Jin: "Uncle, thank you, I invite you to eat dumplings."
