Chapter 7: Feeding
Actually, Ling Xin was extremely shocked when she saw the two people from a distance.
Her eyes became red unconsciously.
It's just that these two people look too much like her deceased parents.
Maybe people in ancient times aged quickly. Although the two were only in their early thirties, but they looked almost the same as modern parents in their forties.
Soon she calmed herself down and collected the memories of the original owner.
Although her parents were stupid, they never treated the original owner harshly.
It was just that the original owner had low self-esteem and had been bullied by others for a long time. She thought it was because of her parents, so she rejected them more and more as she grew older.
Especially after being sold to the disabled Lin Ziyuan by her grandparents, she completely gave up thinking about her mother's family after her parents could no longer protect her.
Until she starved to death, she never thought of looking for her parents.
Or, maybe she knew that it was useless to look for her parents.
"I..." Ling Zhifeng was particularly happy to see his daughter. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it at all: "They, don't..."
"Dad, don't be in a hurry. Just take your time!" Ling Xin called him Dad without any burden, and was very patient.
"He... uh, dad... was gone, we miss Xinxin... uh..." Ling Zhifeng and his wife Yu Qiuxia talked for a long time before explaining the general meaning.
Grandfather took the whole family to escape the famine. He was disgusted with his stupid youngest son and daughter-in-law for wasting food, so he abandoned them here.
The two stood here for a day and a night, at a loss.
Ling Xin was not surprised at all.
Her so-called grandparents never liked their family of three.
They did all the dirty and tiring work, but the food they eat was the worst, and it was common for them to go hungry.
Now it was a year of famine, so they were naturally treated even more harshly, and they didn't want to bring two burdens with them.
"It's okay, just follow me from now on!" Ling Xin said calmly.
Anyway, there was food in the space, she won't throw her parents away.
Facts proved that her move was very wise.
"Xinxin..." Yu Qiuxia smiled happily.
Her daughter smiled at her, she was so happy!
Ling Zhifeng had a similar expression, and both of them were smiling happily like children who had received candy.
Wang Qiong looked at this family with contempt.
A paralytic, seven burdens, and two fools.
Ling Zhifeng had already taken over Ling Xin's cart.
Ling Xin did not refuse.
The cart that originally felt heavy in her hands became very light in Ling Zhifeng's hands.
"They are your grandparents!" Ling Xin did not forget to introduce them to the kids.
Yu Qiuxia was walking beside the cart, watching the kids with their silly smiles.
"Grandpa...Hello!" The slurred Liu Ya was the first to call out sweetly.
"Hello, grandpa, hello, grandma..." Wu Ya was the next one to call out, and then everyone else followed suit.
They all liked their grandparents who smiled at them.
Except for their parents, few people smiled at them so kindly, especially after their father fell into a coma.
Wang Qiong saw that the family was quite happy, so she wanted to stab them: "Your parents don't even have any baggage, and you will have to support two more people in the future. It's a long journey, you have to think carefully!"
It seems like she's thinking about her.
"If your mother has no food, will you abandon her?"
"How can my mother be the same?" Wang Qiong immediately retorted loudly.
She still has food to eat in this famine year, but she relies on her widowed mother.
"It's different, your mother can support you with the help of the men in the village!"
"Don't talk nonsense..." Wang Qiong yelled angrily.
This was her shame and the last thing she wanted to mention.
She was happy that she had something to eat, but that was what her mother had bought by selling her body, so... she could only pretend she didn't know while rejecting it.
After Ling Xin said it so bluntly, she just wanted to hide in a rat hole.
Fortunately, the big team was far away.
Ling Xin adhered to the principle of not offending others if they didn't offend me, so she would definitely not be polite to anyone who provokes her.
"She's a bad person!" Sanbao the thief took advantage of the opportunity and looked at Wang Qiong with a pair of bright eyes.
"Really, San Ge?" The foodie Sibao's pupils dilated as if he heard something big. He looked at Wang Qiong with vigilance, as if he was afraid of being captured by bad guys.
Wang Qiong: "..." She ran away angrily.
Sanbao is indeed the smartest. Ling Xin reached out and rubbed Sanbao's hair: "Good boy!"
While saying this, she stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.
Sanbao was startled at first, then he felt the fragrance of milk in his mouth and immediately looked at his stepmother.
Ling Xin continued to stuff candies into the babies' mouths one by one.
The babies' expressions lit up one by one.
Yu Qiuxia had already noticed her daughter's little movements and looked at her eagerly.
Ling Xin: "..." What should I do if my silly mother is a little cute? Feed her!
At this time, another hot gaze came over.
Turning back, she saw her father, who was also looking at her eagerly.
Feed him!
Only after eating the candy did Ling Zhifeng withdraw his gaze with satisfaction.
Coincidentally, the person not far ahead turned his head, and before Ling Xin could react, Dabao put his index finger to his mouth.
Perhaps because they were of similar mental state, the six children plus her parents all stopped chewing at the same time.
They only continued chewing when the person in front turned his head and stopped looking at them.
This made Ling Xin feel relieved.
Before noon, the team stopped to rest.
After walking for more than three hours, everyone was exhausted and sat on the ground, not wanting to move.
Ling Xin put the six cute kids down from the cart, and finally picked up Qibao and reminded them: "Don't run too far, understand?"
The memory of being almost sold yesterday made the children timid, and after hearing what their stepmother said, they dared not go far away.
Ling Xin thought it was better this way, in case one was missing or injured due to lack of supervision.
The location she chose was more than ten meters away from the villagers.
There happened to be a big tree next to it that blocked most of the view.
She took out the vegetable pancakes she made last night and gave one to each person. Each pancake was filled with not only meat, but also tomatoes and ham slices.
"Eat it quickly while no one is around, or else someone will snatch it away!"
When they heard that their food might be snatched away, the eight heads looked towards the direction of the villagers at the same time and started to chew.
After taking a bite of the vegetable cake, the fragrance made the two big and six little hearts bloom.
Seeing that they were eating so deliciously, Ling Xin also took a bite and fed Qibao milk.
When the cute kids saw the milk bottle in her hand, they knew that she was feeding their little brother, so they all kept silent.
The parents seemed to be interested, but the vegetable pancake in their hands were more tempting, so they just kept eating.
"There is water in the water bag!" Ling Xin had already filled it with cool and refreshing mung bean soup.
"It's delicious!" Sibao, who was the first to drink the water, drank several mouthfuls of it before reluctantly putting down the bowl.
After eating and drinking their fill, the family's tired faces recovered a lot.
Especially Ling Zhifeng, who was grinning.
He pushed the cart alone all the way.
Ling Xin and Qiuxia both wanted to help push the cart, but he insisted on pushing it himself.
Who said he was stupid?
Ling Xin knew that his father was worried about them.
After eating, the children played in front.
After Ling Xin asked his father to look after the children, she was about to change Qibao's diaper, when a cold light shot straight at her.
