Although his father-in-law now seemed displeased yang milan knew that the old man was completely devoted to his daughter because of that love , he also treated yang milan well .

Coming out of the division headquarters yang milan was a little existed.

He longed for the chance to make money , believing that every coin he earned could improve his family life.

Otherwise, he thought with a better smile, I really can't keep eating porridge and boiled potatoes every single day.

When he returned home , he found li mercy busy in the kitchen, while little maggie was squatting alone in the yard, her tiny hands caked with mud . The moment she spotted yang milan , the little girls eye lit up , she jumped to her feet , ran over on her short legs out called out joyfully daddy.

Yang milan heart softened instantly he rushed forward taking two quick steps and scooped his daughter into his arms . Looking at her dirt streaked little face he chuckled warmly .

By the times maggie was cleaned up and back inside, li mercy had already laid out dinner on the table werr a few steamed bun stuffed with wild vegetable three bowl of porridge with just a little rice and a plate of cold and bitter green.

It was simple meal , but undeniablely healthy.

At that moment, li mercy pulled out a small clay pot, no bigger than bigger than a first from the seasoning cabinet she scoopeed out a spoonful if brown sugar from it and gently dropped it into yang milan bowl .

Eat it she urged softly.

The simple gesture struck yang milan deeply his nose stung and he had to fight back tears . In his past life she had always been like this thoughtful considerate she knew he wasn't used to such bland , so she would quietly add a little sugarcto his porridge, even though she and the child were always reluctant to eat any themselves.

It's not good for children to eat to many sweets li mercy quickly scolded :- it's ruin your teeth.

Yang milan throat tufhtned , but he forced himself not to cry. He gently pushed the bowl of sugar toward maggie and stocked her little head ; maggie if you want sweet porridge then drink some, he said with a smile.

You just spoiling her, li mercy muttered half reproachful half helpless.

Even so she scooped another spoonful of sugar from the jar her heart aching as she prepared to put it into maggie bowl.

Yang milan hurriedly stopped her he knew how scarce supplies were in this era sugar was a luxury precious beyond words. Don't waste it save it for maggie he urged .

Li mercy looked at him confusedly.

Yang milan scrambled to explain: I just hugged maggie there wasn't an ounce of flesh on her , she's far to skinny .

Li mercy frowned slightly:- i don't think so compared to eldest brother son and second brother second child are not heavy as maggie. They both were born earlier than maggie .
