Yang Ruxin could immediately tell what Erni was thinking.
Even if their share of the food in the main house was smaller, they would still get to taste meat.
She couldn’t help but sigh but didn’t say anything.
Instead, she turned around and walked toward the front courtyard; breakfast should be ready by now, and she needed to go get the food.
Today’s breakfast was porridge made from a mix of cornmeal and sweet potatoes, along with freshly made cornmeal pancakes, and a big plate of salted vegetables.
Of course, since the men would be working in the fields, they also had an extra dish of pork belly stewed with eggplants.
It could have been the shadow left by yesterday’s meal, or perhaps it was because of Yang Anshi’s scolding earlier, but this time when Yang Ruxin went inside to fetch the food, Yang Anshi didn’t make a sound.
However, her gaze was so penetrating it could make one’s spine turn cold.
But Yang Ruxin was not Yang Dani.
She simply ignored the murderous look, collected a potful of porridge with ease, took two pancakes, scooped half a bowl of eggplants, grabbed a couple of chopsticks full of salted vegetables, and went back.
Naturally, as she was leaving, Yang Ruxin could feel the knife-like glare behind her, but she ignored it all the same.
At the door, while no one was paying attention, Yang Ruxin slipped into the space and took out the four eggs she had hidden there earlier.
Having porridge and eggs made for a substantial breakfast.
“Dani, where did these eggs come from?” Xun Hui was astonished upon seeing the eggs and looked up at her.
“Someone gave them to me,” Yang Ruxin said casually.
“Who?” Xun Hui frowned, clearly disbelieving.
“And when were they given?”
“They were given yesterday, but I hid them,” Yang Ruxin looked up at Xun Hui.
“Don’t you trust your own daughter?”
Xun Hui opened her mouth but ultimately couldn’t utter a word.
“Let’s eat,” Yang Ruxin said as she peeled the four eggs.
Sini and Xiaofeng each got one, and Erni and Sanni shared another, while the last one was placed directly into Xun Hui’s bowl.
“Dani, you eat…” Xun Hui hurriedly tried to take the egg out.
“You’re still sick.
Don’t keep passing food around for no reason.
It’s just an egg.
There will be other opportunities to eat them,” Yang Ruxin said, glancing at everyone and stopping their attempts to give up the egg.
“If others see this, there will be trouble.
Eat quickly.
We might have to go to the fields today.” She broke off a piece of the pancake to eat with the salted vegetables, taking big bites and occasionally sipping the thin porridge.
The others said no more since they could hear Yang Anshi’s muttering curses from outside again.
However, over the course of these three meals, the younger ones had been utterly won over by Yang Ruxin.
After eating, it was time to go to the fields.
The wheat had been harvested, and now it was time to plant corn or soybeans.
The ground needed to be turned over first.
The wheat straw had been brought back, but there were still some roots that needed to be cleared out before sowing.
In the past, members of the main house not only had to be busy at home but also had to follow the men into the fields.
Yang Ruxin wouldn’t let Xun Hui go.
She planned to take Erni to the fields.
Actually, she wanted to get to know the surrounding situation a bit better.
Although she had the memories of her former life, those memories were quite frustrating to her, mostly revolving around Guan Qingshu, and she was not very familiar with the other villagers.
So, she decided to investigate personally.
Yang Peili looked at Yang Ruxin standing in the courtyard: “Dani, where’s your mother?
We should be getting ready to go to the fields.”
