During dinner, the children in the house were especially happy.

It had been more than half a year since there was meat at home. Even eggs could only be eaten once in a long time, let alone meat.

This time, there was not only meat but also eggs. They were all as happy as if it was the new year.

Wang Cuizhi made a full bowl of meat, but she did not eat it at all. When Xu Fengqiao asked, she only said that she did not like meat.

Zhao Yan looked at her and then put two pieces in her bowl.

“Eat. You’ll have strength after eating meat.”

Xu Fengqiao echoed, “That’s right. There’s so much. There’s enough for the children.”

At this moment, Xiaodong’s mouth was full of oil and he was still sticking his chopsticks into the bowl.

Su Changsheng glared at him. He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his chopsticks.

Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu also ate very little. They reached for the meat initially, but stopped touching their chopsticks after a while.

Seeing how restrained they were, Wang Cuizhi suddenly smiled.

“Eat it. It’s so hot. It’ll go bad if you don’t. It’s such a good thing. It would be a pity if it goes bad.”

With that, she put two pieces in each child’s bowl before looking down at her food.

Just like that, the entire bowl of meat was wiped clean. In the end, Xiaodong even ate it all with white rice mixed with the oil at the bottom of the bowl.

In the evening, the three children did their homework in the central room. Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu were cooling themselves in the yard.

They had bought something good in town today and wanted to bring it to them later.

Su Ling would definitely be happy to see it.

When they were finally done, Xiaochun strode in first.

“Sister, guess what Second Brother bought you?”

Su Ling’s eyes lit up and she started to make bold guesses.

“Is it candy?”

Xiaochun did not beat around the bush with her. He took out a sculpted candy from behind him.

The little bundle could not hide the joy on her face. She had never eaten a sculpted candy before.

Some of the children in the village had eaten sculpted candy when they followed their parents to town. When they returned, they flaunted them.

Although Su Ling said that she ‘did not like it’, she had actually been envious for a long time.

She watched eagerly as Xiaochun handed her the sculpted candy, then took an anxious bite.

Everyone heard a crisp sound. Then, they saw the little packrat suddenly cover his mouth, looking like she was about to cry.

Xiaoqiu happened to walk in and rushed forward.

“What’s wrong, Sister?”

Su Ling took her hand away. There was some blood in her mouth. As soon as she saw the blood, she burst into tears.

The crying attracted the attention of the three adults in the house. They all ran over to look.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Why is Girl crying?”

Su Ling pitifully showed them her hand. There was blood on it.

Xu Fengqiao panicked and ran over to take a closer look. She thought that she had bitten her tongue, but when she opened her mouth to take a look, it turned out that one of her teeth had loosened.

It looked like it was going to fall off soon.

Xu Fengqiao heaved a sigh of relief and asked Su Changsheng to find a thread.

At this moment, Wang Cuizhi had already understood and hurriedly ran to get a thread she used to sew her clothes.

Xu Fengqiao hugged Su Ling and made her open her mouth.

Su Ling was so afraid that she kept crying. Wang Cuizhi wrapped a thread around her loose tooth and signaled Zhao Yan with her eyes to distract Su Ling.

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly cried out.

“Look, there are stars in the sky!”

As expected, Su Ling’s gaze was attracted. Wang Cuizhi tugged lightly and the tooth fell off.

When Su Ling reacted, one of her teeth was placed in front of her.

She studied it carefully, then reached out to touch the missing tooth in her mouth.

It seemed a little strange. It felt like something was missing.

Su Changsheng walked out first, not forgetting to call her.

“Girl, come quickly. Let’s throw this tooth onto the roof!”
