At dusk, a robust man came to bring food to Old Man Li, followed by a rather stocky little boy.
Upon entering the yard, the little boy curiously looked at Daozi, who was sitting next to Old Man Li.
Daozi glanced at him and then looked away, staring at the food in the robust man's hand, rubbing his already hungry belly.
The food was simple, three fist-sized boiled potatoes, plus two bowls of thin corn gruel.
Old Man Li didn't say anything, just picked up a potato and started eating.
Seeing this, Daozi didn't need to be called; he went over, took a potato self-sufficiently, and began to peel it.
The robust man who delivered the food wanted to stop Daozi, as the three potatoes were all meant for Old Man Li's own rations, and the Prince's son only had a bowl of corn gruel.
However, seeing Old Man Li give him a look, the robust man didn't dare to speak up.
