"Uncle, what does Xiaojing call you?"

"My surname is Lin, Xiaojing can just call me Uncle Lin."

"Uncle, why don't you eat it? Such fragrant rice and wild vegetables fried in lard. It takes several months to have such a good meal."

Lin Zhanqing suddenly felt sad, her eyes were a little red, and she didn't know what to say when facing Xiao Jing.

When Ali and Yingshui saw Lin Zhanqing like this, they both had sneers on their faces. Yingshui's smile was shallower and very restrained.

Ali was different. Not satisfied with her ridicule, she said:

"Isn't this Brother Lin a young man from the city? He looks a little pitiful when he sees us poor people in the mountains."

Lin Zhanqing didn't reply and just gave his bowl to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing just finished his bowl of white rice, looked at Lin Zhanqing, scratched his head strangely, and asked:

"Uncle Lin, why don't you give it to me if you don't want to eat it? Xiao Jing has already eaten it, Uncle Lin, please eat it quickly."

Lin Zhanqing smiled lightly and said:

"Uncle ate two large bowls of rice at village chief Atai's house at noon. He hasn't digested it yet and can't eat anymore. Xiao Jing, please eat quickly."

Xiao Jing looked at the large bowl of white rice handed over by Lin Zhanqing and swallowed hard. As if he was afraid that Lin Zhanqing would regret it, he asked again,

"Uncle Lin really doesn't want to eat?"

"Uncle won't eat."

Xiao Jing quickly picked up the bowl in Lin Zhanqing's hand. Because the bowl was too big, Xiao Jing held it with both hands, just able to hold it steady.

Xiao Jing took a large bowl of white rice from Lin Zhanqing, but did not eat it for himself. Instead, he immediately served it to Ali and Ying Shui. He said:

"Mom, aunt. If uncle doesn't eat such delicious white rice, it must be left for Xiao Jing to eat. If Xiao Jing doesn't eat it, Xiao Jing will leave it for mother and aunt."

Ali and Yingshui had just finished their white rice at this time. This big bowl of white rice was a great temptation.

Ali and Yingshui looked longingly at the white rice held by Xiao Jing. They thought it was really delicious. They each swallowed secretly, but did not move.

Today's white rice was originally paid for by Lin Zhanqing, and Ali Yingshui and Xiaojing ate it because they benefited from Lin Zhanqing.

How could Ali and Yingshui have the nerve to eat Lin Zhanqing's white rice and make Lin Zhanqing hungry?

Ali said:

"Brother Lin, even if you have eaten enough at lunch, you still need to eat at night. No matter how much, you must eat some. Otherwise, you will not be able to sleep well."

Lin Zhanqing said:

"It's okay, I'm not hungry. I had enough to eat at noon today."

Ying Shui smiled slightly and said:

"Brother, don't be polite. Come and eat quickly. You won't be able to do it without eating tonight."

Lin Zhanqing only said "not hungry".

Ali and Yingshui never got the bowl in Xiaojing's hand.

Lin Zhanqing blinked, stood up and went out, saying at the same time:

"The night is nice today, I'm going to look at the stars."

When Lin Zhanqing went out, Ali and Yingshui could no longer pretend, so they quickly grabbed the rice and shared it equally between them.

He didn't eat as restrained as when Lin Zhanqing was around. He wolfed down the food in each bowl in just a few mouthfuls.

Xiaojing, Ali, and Yingshui have not had a full meal for several months.

Before, I ate white rice with stir-fried vegetables a few times a month. Since winter, I have been eating porridge every day for more than half a month.

The three of them were really hungry, so they swallowed their tears as a way to supplement their nutrition.

Ali ate Lin Zhanqing's white rice, so naturally she became hostile to Lin Zhanqing.

He muttered something to himself,

"This little brother Lin doesn't seem to be a bad person."

Ying Shui originally had no hostility toward Lin Zhanqing, so he muttered to himself,

"Brother Lin is absolutely

Not a bad person."

Xiaojing also muttered along with Ali and Yingshui,

"Uncle Lin gave me the white rice to eat. He was polite and handsome. It would be great if I had such a big brother."

At the same time, Ali Yingshui's face fainted with a little red glow, and she scolded at the same time:

"Xiao Jing! Stop talking nonsense!"

Early the next morning, Lin Zhanqing lifted up the five-layer quilt covering her body.

Rubbing my eyes, the sunshine in the mountains has already risen high.

Lin Zhanqing knew that she woke up late, and also knew that last night was a rare good sleep.

Speaking of which, Lin Zhanqing hadn't had a good, peaceful sleep for a long time.

Lin Zhanqing didn't know the truth about her parents before, so she couldn't sleep well.

After Lin Zhanqing learned the truth about her parents, she couldn't sleep even more.

Pain, entanglement, and thoughts were constantly playing out in Lin Zhanqing's mind.

Lin Zhanqing couldn't stop these thoughts and couldn't think of a way to reconcile.

Especially after knowing the truth about his parents.

Apart from immersing himself in pain to make himself feel better, Lin Zhan had no other way to make himself feel at ease.

The truth about Lin Zhanqing’s parents, what a sad joke, what a miserable life.

The big demon who slaughtered the martial arts world,

The great hero who saved the Star Gate.

He sacrificed his life and took all the sins on himself, just so that his child, Lin Zhanqing, could live without danger.

Lin Zhanqing's parents are great heroes, Lin Zhanqing can't explain it.

Lin Zhanqing's parents are big demons, and Lin Zhanqing can't explain it.

This was an extremely huge whirlpool, which held Lin Zhanqing tightly and trapped him deeper and deeper.

Are Lin Zhanqing's parents good or bad?

Lin Zhanqing didn't know. Lin Zhanqing only knew that his parents were dead.

He died for himself, and his death was extremely miserable. Even his bones could not be found.

And I can do nothing but suffer.

Lin Zhanqing stopped thinking about this and looked at the five quilts on her body. Four of them were brought over by Ali just before going to bed last night.

There were some patches on each quilt, but it was very clean. Ali seemed to have brought Lin Zhanqing all the best quilts in the house.

Lin Zhanqing got up and went out, walking around the village. Everyone in the village greeted Lin Zhanqing warmly.

They were obviously strangers, but there was no hostility whatsoever.

Lin Zhanqing likes this feeling very much.

But there are always exceptions,

"That guy Ali, a few years after his death, he hired a young man to live in his house. He is a man of both adults and children. What does it look like?"

"I'm afraid this is wrong. What do people avoid? Ali may be very happy! This guy is young and strong and can't rest at night."

"This is wrong. It doesn't matter if Ali gets married and has children, but Yingshui is an unmarried girl. Can Ali stay at home with someone else? "

"This is because of short-sightedness. Ying Shui is not a child, so how could he not know this? Sisters serving a younger brother together do not let their wealth go to outsiders."

"What you said is that you are greedy for other people's little brother."

"Hmph! It sounds like you are not greedy."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Let us men hear this, and we won't be afraid of breaking our legs."

"he he he he he……"

Lin Zhanqing pretended not to hear these rumors, and Ali and Yingshui also pretended not to hear them.

This is normal, but what is abnormal is that Xiao Jing also pretends that he has never heard these words.

Lin Zhanqing had some doubts. A five-year-old child should not turn a blind eye to words that slander his mother.

But when I thought about it again, I understood.

Ali is a widow, so she is indispensable for gossiping. Over time, Xiao Jing got used to it.

Three days passed, and Lin Zhanqing felt very comfortable staying at Ali's house.
