A poor hero

In this way, Chen Chen took Shen Qian to greet several villagers he met on the village road, and finally returned to his home.

This is a mud brick house with one living room and two rooms.

Chen Chen's father originally borrowed money to build it in order to marry Chen Chen's mother.

It's a pity that Chen Chen's parents were killed by tigers when they went into the mountains with the tiger hunting team to hunt tigers just after they had paid off their loans and before they could enjoy life.

Chen Chen was left alone in this world.

Although the land in Xu County is fertile, the mountains and forests are dense and there are many tigers. There are even rumors among the people in Xu County that there are more tigers than cats.

There are more tigers, which is not a good thing, because they not only bite the livestock and poultry that people keep on the mountains, but they even come down the mountains to bite people in winter.

However, the senior officials in Xu County were indifferent and never summoned official personnel to round up the tigers.

For this reason, Chen Chen wanted to study, gain fame, become a high official, and bring back soldiers and horses to eliminate tiger troubles for the people.

"Dachen, you are really back! I thought it was your brother Maverick who lied to me." Hearing the sound, the third aunt walked out of the house with a spatula, "Oh, this is what you brought back My little wife? Her big earlobes are so pretty."

The third aunt looked at Shen Qian. After a while, she remembered that her food had not been cooked yet.

"Chen Chen, remember to bring your wife over for dinner later. I'll fry a poached egg for you to replenish. I see you're so thin that you look like a human."

After the third aunt said this, she ran back to look at her dishes.

"Chen Chen, is this aunt the third aunt you have been talking about? She has such a kind heart and is so kind to you."

Shen Qian asked enviously.

"Well, this is the third aunt. Apart from my parents, she is the best person to me in the world. Of course, you are also one of the best people to me."

Chen Chen nodded and replied proudly.

The two of them had not been at home for long when the third aunt's son, Xiao Niu, called them over for dinner.

Chen Chen and Shen Qian went over and took a look, and sure enough there was a poached egg on the table.

You must know that farmers usually sell these eggs, but this third aunt actually fried a poached egg to greet Chen Chen and the others.

The calf sitting next to him was staring at the poached egg with tears streaming down his face, as if he was afraid that it would run away.

Chen Chen looked around, but didn't see Uncle San and Brother Daniu.

Brother Danniu is the third aunt's eldest son. He is three years older than Chen Chen. He often played with Chen Chen when he was a child.

So he asked strangely: "Third aunt, why don't third uncle and Brother Daniu have dinner together? Have they gone out to work?"

"Third uncle works long-term in a restaurant in the county town and doesn't go home often. Your brother Daniu is getting married. Recently, his father-in-law is not in good health and he has accompanied your sister-in-law back to her parents' home."

The third aunt split the poached egg in half, gave half to Shen Qian, and half to Chen Chen, and said happily.

When the calf saw that the poached egg didn't belong to him, his mouth instantly became flat, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Come on, Mavericks, come and eat Brother Dachen. Brother Dachen doesn't like poached eggs."

Chen Chen picked up half of the poached egg in his bowl and put it into Maverick's bowl.

"Xiao Niu, this is for your brother Dachen."

The third aunt looked angry, stopped the calf who was about to eat the poached eggs, and scolded.

The calf looked at his mother, then at the poached egg, and finally swallowed and put down the poached egg.

"Third Aunt, the calf is still young. Let it eat. It will grow up quickly after eating it."

Seeing that the third aunt refused to let the calf eat the half-poached egg, Chen Chen hurriedly stopped him.

"Chen Chen, don't blame the third aunt for not greeting her well. There is only one egg in the house, otherwise I would fry one for each of you. Just eat this half of the egg. Calves often eat these eggs. They were only eaten at the end of last month. Eat one by one, it’s okay if you don’t eat this time.” Upon seeing this, the third aunt picked up the half of the poached egg and forced it into Chen Chen’s bowl.

Chen Chen had traveled through time in the 21st century. He had never tasted any delicacies, so why would he snatch a child's poached eggs?

Seeing that the calf's saliva was drooling, it must have been a long time since he had eaten eggs.

So he resolutely rejected Third Aunt's kindness and said seriously: "Third Aunt, there's really no need to do this. Dachen is not someone else and Maverick is his younger brother. It should be Maverick who eats this half-poached egg."

"Third Aunt, just let the calf eat half of the poached egg. Let Chen Chen eat my half. I'm a girl and I won't eat it."

Shen Qian saw Chen Chen and her third aunt giving way to the half of the poached egg. She picked up her own half of the poached egg and wanted to stuff it into Chen Chen's bowl.

"No."

Chen Chen and his third aunt stopped Shen Qian in unison.

"Chen Qian, I made an agreement with you from the beginning. You eat it first if it's delicious. You're so thin and you almost ate the poached eggs."

Chen Chen pressed down Shen Qian's chopsticks and blamed her.

"Girls in Chen Chen's family need to eat well. You are so thin. If you don't gain weight, how will you give birth to children for Chen Chen?"

The third aunt picked up another chopstick dish and put it into Shen Qian's bowl.

"Well, okay, Third Aunt, I'll eat until I'm fat."

The third aunt didn't know at this time.

In Shen Qian's heart, she silently sent her a good person card.

When she was little, her mother would secretly fry poached eggs like this for her to eat.

Now that Chen Chen and her third aunt were so kind to her, a warm current suddenly surged in Shen Qian's heart like a fountain.

She secretly made up her mind that she must listen to her third aunt, eat fat, and give birth to a lot of children for Chen Chen.

So she lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs, and ate the half-poached egg sweetly.

"This, this, third aunt, Shen Qian is just my good friend, not my one."

Chen Chen, a silly boy, was afraid that his third aunt would misunderstand, so he explained.

"Be good, Shen Qian. Eat more vegetables today. Tomorrow the third aunt will kill the old hen and make chicken soup for you."

The third aunt chose to ignore Chen Chen's words, but picked up another large dish with chopsticks and put it into Shen Qian's bowl.

When the calf saw that he could eat half of the poached egg, he started to eat quietly.

Chen Chen, who was ignored by no one, took big mouthfuls of rice.

"Well, okay, third aunt, you are so kind, thank you."

Shen Qian replied happily while eating her food.

"Thank you. You are not an outsider. By the way, Shen Qian, how many people are there in your family?"

"Four, my grandma, my parents."

"Chen Qian, where is your home?"

"My home is in Shenjiazhuang, next door to the East Village, but I haven't been back for several years..."

When Shen Qian was talking about what she had experienced over the years, she suddenly started crying.

The third aunt stood up, hugged Shen Qian and comforted her: "Shen Qian, don't cry, now you have a home in Chenjiacun, I am your mother, no one can bully you."

"Well, third aunt, thank you."

With the comfort of her third aunt, Shen Qian finally stopped crying.

After the meal, the third aunt did not persuade the tired two people to stay, but told them to come over for dinner and chicken soup tomorrow.
