Chapter 153 Cave Dwelling Settlement 1
Guancheng was extremely surprised. The Lu family's life was so good that they could have dinner!
And it's not rice soup where you can see people in it, it's thick rice porridge, very thick, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.
On the square dining table were a plate of pickles and a plate of cut salted duck eggs, the yolks almost dripping with oil.
Guan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up like stars.
He ate something while he was sleeping, and his brother told him when he woke up, but he couldn't taste it. Now he saw the fragrant rice porridge and fragrant salted duck eggs, and he was so greedy that his saliva almost flowed out.
Father Lu felt a pain in his heart. The descendants of the Guan family, who were once so proud that everyone in the city had been reduced to this, with no clothes on their bodies and no food to eat, made him feel like a rabbit had died and a fox was saddened by its own kind. He filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to him first. To Guancheng, he handed him half a salted duck egg, and asked Tianjun to get him a multi-grain pancake.
"Acheng, let's eat. You'll be welcome when you get home."
"Thank you, Grandpa Lu, I can't finish it!" Guan Cheng pushed back the pancakes. Only after Father Lu and Feng Qingxue both picked up their rice bowls, did he pick up the bowl in front of him. The slightest trace of steam coming out of the bowl covered the his expression.
Feng Qingxue said hurriedly: "Both Guancheng brothers have lost their intestines due to hunger. Just drink porridge. Drinking porridge nourishes the stomach."
"Yes, I forgot. Let's drink porridge for a few days to nourish our stomach. Let's eat more." After Lu's father finished speaking, he greeted Guancheng.
Feng Qingxue first fed Guan Yu to drink half a bowl of warm porridge. In a blink of an eye, he saw Guan Cheng holding half a salted duck egg, sipping the porridge from the bowl in small sips, with a cherishing attitude that was almost pious. His posture was very standard, and he clearly had etiquette engraved in his bones. It had not changed at all because of living on the streets these years.
After eating, Lu Tianjun was about to wash the dishes, and Guan Cheng was the first to pick up the stacked bowls.
"Acheng is so diligent. I don't know how much less housework I can do with you by my side in the future!" Father Lu sighed lowly. He did not stop Guan Cheng, but motioned for Lu Tianjun to help.
If you stop him, he will feel like a guest, which will not be conducive to future relationships.
When the two cousins came back from washing the dishes, Lu Jiang asked Guan Cheng to sit down in front of him.
"Acheng, I have heard what Aunt Xue said about you over there. You have not lost the character of the Guan family. You value love and righteousness. You are worthy of being a descendant of the Guan family! I am very proud of you and pride."
Guan Cheng said calmly: "It's just to survive."
Keeping their brother alive is their only hope, it's that simple.
Father Lu nodded, "Yeah, it's better to die than to live. Only when you are alive can you have hope. If you die, it will be over. No matter how big your ambitions were during your lifetime, they will never be realized. Acheng, you don't mind that the cowshed is simple. Just live in peace, with me and your two cousins having a meal, and you and your brother having a meal. We don’t have wealth, but with your uncle and Aunt Xue here, our chance of survival is small. Much bigger than others.”
Guan Cheng stood up and saluted Father Lu and Feng Qingxue solemnly, "Thank you, thank you Grandpa Lu, thank you Aunt Xue. I can't repay you two for your great kindness now. When I grow up, I will I will repay you well."
"What does the family say about repayment? They didn't take you here for the purpose of repaying you when you grow up."
After listening to Feng Qingxue's words, Guan Cheng finally showed a smile on his still bruised face, nodded and said: "Yes, I will never mention it again in the future." He will remember it in his heart, forever and ever. .
