Chapter 4 Bean Soup
After a while, the door of the room was pushed open from outside with a creaking sound. Then, Zhang Li held a small pot with both hands and walked towards Zhang Ran's bed.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Ran couldn't help but look in the sound. After seeing that it was Zhang Li's family, Zhang Ran hurriedly struggled to sit up.
"Don't move!"
Seeing Zhang Ran's struggle randomly, Zhang Li was shocked and quickly walked forward, walked to Zhang Ran's bed in three or two steps, quickly placed the pottery jar beside the bed, reached out and pressed Zhang Ran's body to prevent him from falling over with too much movement, and carefully helped him up little by little.
After Zhang Ran leaned against the wooden wall, sat upright and completely stabilized. Zhang Li picked up the small pottery jar again, scooped up a spoonful of soup with a wooden spoon, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then gently delivered it to Zhang Ran's mouth, and said softly: "Aran, you have just woken up and are still weak. My mother has cooked you a little bean soup, so eat it while it's hot!"
"Uh..." Faced with Zhang Li's sudden actions, Zhang Ran was at a loss and had no mental preparation, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"What? It's too hot?" Seeing that Zhang Ran had no reaction, Zhang Li thought the rice was too hot, so he put the wooden spoon next to his mouth and blew it, then handed it to Zhang Ran again and said, "It should be ready to eat now. Come, Aran, try it!"
"I..." Zhang Ran opened his mouth and wanted to shake his head to refuse, but looking at the woman in front of him, his nominal "mother" looked gentle and felt the strong care and pity from the other party. He didn't know how to speak for a while, so he could only open his mouth, like a mechanical one, and swallow the soup from the wooden spoon into his mouth.
The warm soup flowed into the throat, like a warm current, into the abdomen, and quickly spread to the limbs and bones, quickly moistening Zhang Ran's dry body. For a moment, Zhang Ran couldn't help but hum comfortably.
Looking at Zhang Ran squinting his eyes and looking at his enjoyment, Zhang's mother's mouth couldn't help but slightly raised, and she said with relief: "If you can eat, it seems that Aran's body has really improved a lot. Blessed by Tai Yi God, my Aran has finally gotten better!"
As he said that, Zhang's mother reached out and scooped up a spoonful of soup with a wooden spoon, carefully blew it a little cooler, and handed it to Zhang Ran's mouth and said, "Come on, Aran, eat a little while it's hot and keep your body well as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Zhang's mother was about to feed him again, Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel a little shy. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and quickly swallowed a spoonful of soup, and quickly reached out to the pottery jar in Zhang's mother's arms, and said, "My mother! Mother! I'll do it myself!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang's mother to speak, she snatched the pottery jar and held it in her hand without saying a word.
The twisted posture flashed on Zhang Ran's face and his repeated actions naturally could not escape Zhang's mother's eyes. Looking at his son's panicked but determined look, Zhang's mother couldn't help but sigh: "Okay! You can't let my mother come and feed her, but you should eat the bean soup while it's hot!"
"Okay! OK!" Zhang Ran hurriedly agreed. Then he quickly picked up the clay pot!
Just as Zhang Ran was about to swallow it, he accidentally looked in the jar and suddenly found that there were only dozens of swollen soybeans in the soup in the jar, and a few pieces of green leaves floating on the water!
"This is also a meal!"
For a moment, Zhang Ran's mind was a little confused and his eyes became confused. Although he knew that this family was very poor, so poor that the family was barely barred.
But Zhang Ran’s mind, “the family is barely barely”, but he can’t afford to eat meat, have no money to buy clothes, have no money to see a doctor, or he can only drink porridge and live like that.
However, Zhang Ran never expected that this family was so poor that he could only give water to boil beans for patients who were ill in bed.
"Doufeng! Doufeng! It turns out that the legendary bean soup is boiled beans and a little vegetable leaves!" After understanding the reason, Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel a little silent.
After a long time, I took a deep breath, silently picked up the jar, and swallowed it in small mouthfuls.
The hot soup flowed into the stomach along the throat, slowly nourishing Zhang Ran's stomach, which was almost hungry. Almost instantly, Zhang Ran felt a warm current flowing slowly on his limbs, and with the stomach as the center, spreading in all directions with the blood!
"Huh~"
After eating most of the jars of soybean and wild vegetable soup, Zhang Ran felt much better and his stomach felt much better, as if he was back to life!
"Gudong~"
Just as Zhang Ran was planning to continue his efforts and pour the remaining half of the jar of soup into his stomach, a very sudden sound of swallowing saliva suddenly came from his ears!
Zhang Ran looked in the voice and saw his sister, the pale-faced and thin-skinned, looking at him intently. No, what is accurate is looking at the jar in his hand!
With eyes facing each other, the little girl was suddenly shocked, like a frightened rabbit, hiding behind Zhang Li in an instant.
Then, he carefully poked out half of his head, made a face at Zhang Ran, and laughed.
But Zhang Ran noticed that the little girl's eyes still couldn't help but secretly looked at the jar in her hand, swallowing from time to time, and she looked pitiful, and the little girl looked as pitiful as she looked!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ran's heart suddenly felt throbbing, and the movements in his hands froze, and his whole heart suddenly became particularly soft.
Almost involuntarily, Zhang Ran handed the clay pot in his hand to the little girl in front of him and said, "Hey, brother, I'm full, I'll give you the rest!"
"no!"
To Zhang Ran’s expectations, the little girl quickly rejected Zhang Ran’s kindness. Her little head was shaking like a rattle, and she plucked her cheeks and said loudly: “Brother, my mother said that your body is still very weak, and you should keep these bean soups for your brother to eat. If I eat them, my brother will have nothing to eat. Sui'er is not hungry! Brother, you eat them!"
"ah?"
When Zhang Ran heard the little girl say this, he couldn't help but feel sore, and tears almost fell down. What kind of life is the original body living here!
The one who stepped on the horse was just a can of boiled soybeans in clean water! If it were put in Zhang Ran's era, if it were fed to pigs, the pig would shake its head!
However, this meal was so simple that it was so simple that even the pig feed was not as good as boiled beans, the little girl in front of her treated it as a treasure, willing to share it, and even left her weak body to eat it herself!
For a moment, an unprecedented feeling of sadness filled Zhang Ran's heart, feeling sad for this era and confused for his future life.
