The aroma of porridge just spread the next day. When the store opened the door, he saw many people waiting outside.

Xiaobing quickly moved the porridge bucket out, and people outside consciously lined up.

Looking at the customers outside, I don't know how long they have been waiting. Those who are willing to get up early for a bite to eat are all poor people. They were all timid when looking at them, for fear that the store would not offer free food.

Xiaobing said to the eldest sister who was first in line: "Which of the four kinds of porridge do you want?" When we first opened the door, the items were the most complete. There are fewer varieties toward the back.

Xiaobing saw that she was unfamiliar and was not a customer who had been here yesterday, so he patiently introduced her to what various kinds of porridge were.

The eldest sister said: "I want pumpkin porridge."

Xiaobing skillfully filled her bowl. A side dish was also given. It's best served with porridge, and you won't get tired of it easily.

The eldest sister thanked her profusely after taking the porridge. Behind her were three children, the eldest of whom was only six years old. The youngest is only three years old. They are all very thin.

Xiaobing was afraid that the youngest child would not be able to hold it steady, so he helped her carry it to the table in the room.

Even children can receive a bowl of porridge.

When the woman sat down with several children. He said: "Eat quickly." His words were very gentle.

"Mom, you eat too." The children all want different flavors, so they can taste each other's.

Not only is it porridge, it tastes very fragrant and glutinous. As soon as the porridge service started, there were gradually more and more people.

The eldest sister took a bite and felt the solid grains of the porridge. She felt warm in her stomach and almost shed tears. She came to live with her relatives after the man died. But relatives turned them away. These days they had no choice but to discuss living in a ruined temple with the beggars.

It is not safe for a woman to bring her child into a ruined temple. I have been hungry for several days. With the last silver in my hand, I bought stick noodle cakes, crushed them and soaked them in water for the children to eat. There is one meal after another. Now that she was eating simple porridge, she felt some unspeakable emotions.

"Mom, why are you crying? You eat this from me." The eldest son returned the remaining half bowl of porridge to her before he was full.

The woman said: "Mom will definitely be able to feed you." She could not starve to death even if she only had one porridge a day, and her hope in life was rekindled.

Everyone felt better after eating the sweet porridge.

At this time, an aunt was sitting at their table and saw that although the clothes the woman was wearing were shabby, they were still clean. The clothes of the children were also mended, and the aunt asked: "Do you want to find a job?" Then she said that Zhang Da's family was in need of a washing woman, and she paid ten cents a day for food and shelter. place.

The conditions are too low and starching is a very tiring job. People who have some skills don't like to do it. But for the woman in front of me, it is a great opportunity!

But the woman was very wary when she went out and said to her: "Are you so nice to me?"

The aunt smiled heartily: "I live in the alley in front of you, people call me Lao Liu. I didn't make it to the porridge yesterday, so I came here early today. It happened that the other places were full. It was fate that I met you. . To be honest, the person in charge of Zhang Dahu's house is a relative of mine. He offered to introduce the person and give us fifty cents. Although the money is not much, it is an advantage for both parties."
