Chapter 10
Three months after the New Year, on my birthday, Sun Dagui personally got up early to cook, tying on an apron and energetically rolled out a basin of noodles.
Hand-rolled noodles I’d eaten since childhood, served with rich, golden old hen broth, and two eggs added in-enough to make anyone’s appetite soar.
My elder sister scooped a chicken leg into my bowl and reminded me to eat slowly, not to rush.
She didn’t know that Teacher Li had taken leave today, and I had already arranged with Wei Donghe to go up the mountain to collect bird eggs.
No, to be more precise, last time we went for bird eggs, we found a beehive in a tree.
We had to get that beehive down before Cao Dapang discovered it.
Thinking this, I wiped my mouth, left half a chicken leg in the bowl, and hurried out the door.
Behind me came Sun Dagui’s shout: “You child, you haven’t finished eating yet!”
