Xu Yunxia spoke softly, "You've had some meat, right?"
The child nodded vigorously.
Xu Yunxia then said, "When you go to the table later, you won't be able to eat meat, understand?"
Although the child still wanted to eat meat, he nodded and said, "Understood, grandpa." At that time, Xu Yunxia leaned on his cane and came out. The food on the table was simple, consisting of boiled large root vegetables, steamed rice, a broth made of wild vegetables and okra, meat, and vegetables that had been blanched and dipped in vinegar sauce, with cured meat in the center.
For the laboring people of this era, this was already quite a feast.
There were two kinds of staple food, besides rice, there was also a pasty mixture of brown rice, millet, and radish. The polished rice brought by Li Guanyi was passed to him and Shaking Light. Li Guanyi lowered his eyes, and Xu Huilan said:
"We are poor and have nothing extra to offer you both."
Li Guanyi replied softly, "This is already plenty."
