"Then let's eat fast, I'm so hungry," Xu Fan said with a cute chuckle.
"Not enough....." Xu Zhao answered.

Don't say, the soup and noodles are not even enough for him to eat, how would it even fill up Xu Fan. Xu Zhao immediately thought of Xu Zuocheng, who's mouth was full of oil. Xu Zuocheng took his and Xu Fan Sheng share that is why the noodle were gone. He must fight for his own reason, otherwise Xu Zuocheng will get even worse!

Xu Fan, who didn't know anything, was still picking up the stove, looking at the pot while tiptoeing on his feet, and asked, "Dad, is there enough to eat?"
"Let's go ask your first uncle."

Xu Zhao replaced the wooden pot cover on the iron pot, strode out of the kitchen house, and shouted: "Xu Zoucheng!"
Xu Zuocheng heard his name and stopped. He turned around and asked, "What do you want?"
Xu Zhao's tone was fairly mild and said, "There are no more noodles in the pot."
"And then?" Xu Zuo asked as if he didn't understand.
Seeing that, Xu Zhao felt subtle and useless, so he directly said, "According to the rules of our family, one bowl per person, the bowl in your hand is Xu Fan and you should not eat more."
"What?" Xu Zuocheng thought that he had heard it wrong.
Xu Zhao said blankly, "The bowl of noodles in your hand belongs to me and Xu Fan."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zuocheng asked again.
"The noodles are mine."1

Xu Zuocheng looked at Xu Zhao in disbelief. This was not the first time he had robbed Xu Zhao and Xu Fan share of food. Xu Zhao had always been adversarial and did not say anything, so he did it again and again. Xu Zhao and Xu Fan didn't get to eat most of the food or finished it, but this time Xu Zhao dared to say something. How dare he think he can have it?1

Was his brain flooded when he fell into the river?
"You say it again." Xu Zuocheng said.
"The bowl of noodles in your hand is mine." Xu Zhao said.
Xu Zuocheng's face was filled with displeasure and asked, "Is your name written on the noodle?"
"No."
"Then you say the noodles are yours? has your brain gone wrong?"
Xu Zuocheng no longer pay attention to Xu Zhao as he walked towards the hall with a large bowl of noodles, but the current Xu Zhao now was different from the original Xu Zhao.
Xu Zhao shouted, "Give it back!"
Xu Zuocheng steps stopped.1

The Xu family in the house, heard the sounds and came over to look at what's going on. Even the neighbors who were eating under the trees on the roadside also flocked to the courtyard to look around .
"What? Who shouted just now?"
"Is it Xu Zhao?"
"Xu Zhao? Impossible? Xu Zhao couldn't look at ones eyes for a long time, will he shout?"
"Why? Don't you hear? You can't underestimate Xu Zhao. Although, this child Xu Zhao's is usually silent, but he has a heart, otherwise why would he dropped out of school and give birth to this child Xu Fan, based on the situation, he have a problem with his older brother. "
"What's wrong?"
"do not know."
"..."1

The neighbors whispered.
Xu Zuocheng didn't expect a bowl of noodles, would actually caused so many people to watch, his face was not very good-looking, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Zhao.
Xu Fan had never seen his dad like this, his eyes wide open, staring straight at Xu Zhao.
Xu Zhao was unaffected, staring at Xu Zuocheng intently.1

Xu Zuocheng carried a large bowl of white noodles, neither talking nor walking. After secretly clenching his teeth, he turned his head and scolded Xu Zhao: "What is it for you, what is yours?"
"The noodles are mine."
"Why did you say that? Did you write your name?"
Xu Zhao said with a straight face: "One person per bowl, you eat more."1

Xu Zuocheng's eyes were angry, and he didn't like Xu Zhao from small to large. In addition to grabbing the attention of his parents ever since young; Xu Zhao was also smart and beautiful. Everyone praised Xu Zhao and which made him, Xu Zoucheng seems extremely ugly. . Later, he married his wife, and he would whisper in her ears every day, saying that his parents secretly supplement Xu Zhao and Xu Fan, and that them and their child were not in his parents heart.
Now today, Xu Zhao dare to made trouble with him because of the noodles. Since that is his choice, Xu Zoucheng will made trouble with Xu Zhao to the end.1

Xu Zuocheng show off the bowl of noodles to the neighbors and said, "Look, look, see if I eat more? Which one of your eyes is watching me eat more? Now I've been busy farming, and I'm exhausted pulling wheat all day, and decided to come back to eat a bowl of noodles, how can it considered as more eaten? "

The neighbors immediately looked into Xu Zuocheng's bowl and said that Xu Zuocheng had eaten nothing yet but just a bowl of white noodle; It was not an exaggeration. During the talks, they all accused Xu Zhao, saying that Xu Zhao was too sensible, saying that Xu Zhao was eating solitary food, etc.

When Xu Zuocheng heard it, he was immediately proud and felt like he was victorious. He was about to leave the yard with his bowl thinking of eating in the shade with his neighbors. He was just about to take a step and heard Xu Zhao says, "You have eaten a bowl already?"
Xu Zuocheng stopped again and turned his head to ask, "Otherwise?"
"You have eaten a bowl."
"No."
Xu Zhao said flatly, "Brother, before you say you don't eat, wipe the oil on your mouth."1

When Xu Zhao words fall, the drifting neighbors immediately looked at Xu Zuocheng's mouth. In this era, materials are scarce, and one needle, one thread, and a dime are all golden, especially because of the flood in the previous year and the drought last year. Before, there were two daughters-in-law in the village. Whoever ate one sweet potato broke into a curse and even lashed out, so it was normal for Xu Zhao and Xu Zuo to fight over a bowl of noodles.
Everyone is too sensitive to the lack of food, so they all immediately recognize the color of Xu Zuocheng's mouth-Xu Zuocheng has eaten something a lot, otherwise the mouth will not stained with oil.

The neighbors were all quiet.
Xu Zoucheng didn't expect that Xu Zhao's mouth would also be smart after he almost gotten away.
Xu Zhao waited quietly for Xu Zuocheng's reaction. He did not think that Xu Zuocheng, whose face was thick like a city wall, would immediately recognize him and take the initiative to return the noodles to him and Xu Fan.1

As predicted, the next second, Xu Zuocheng said aloud: "The oil on my mouth was the previous noodle eaten by me just now! It's not much to eat!" Xu Zhao's voice was not high or low, but with a sense of oppression, he asked, "Brother, what did you eat just now?" Xu Zuocheng couldn't answer in a moment.

Xu Zhao continued to say at a normal rate, "Now your bowl is full of noodles, and even a little soup can't hold up. Excuse me, what did you just eat? One bowl of noodles per person has always been the rule of our family Dare you say you didn't eat more? Not only did you eat more, but you must have eaten two full bowl."
"I do not eat that much!" Xu Zuocheng blushed and denied loudly that he was just going to make Xu Zhao pay in the end, and he would not admit that he ate too much. Who could even open his belly and take a look? The neighbors quiet down.

Scared by Xu Zoucheng shout, Xu Fan's small hand gripped Xu Zhao's pants and couldn't help leaning against Xu Zhao's leg. Xu Zhao said nothing as the atmosphere is getting quiet. Xu Zuocheng eyes rise with joy and contempt as he watched; Xu Zhao was not affected.

He gaze at the neighbors, and then glanced down at his legs where Xu Fan has gripped onto his pants and reached out to touch Xu Fan's head, saying, "Brother, you are not eating Xu Fan share of food the first time. After all, Xu Fan was two years old, but looking like he was less than a year old. Even saying he was hungry every day. "
"Who is not hungry this year? Is your child the only one?" Xu Zuocheng retorted.
"Of course my child is not the only one who is hungry, but if you didn't grab his meal he wouldn't be hungry everyday." Xu Zhao said.
"I did not eat."
"You have eaten a bowl just now, and now you wanted to eat Xu Fan food."
"I did not eat!"
"You ate! I saw you ate!" Suddenly a young boy appeared in the crowd, pointing at Xu Zuocheng and said, "I saw him eating. He just ate in front of the pigsty and ate a big bowl. After eating, he went back to the kitchen and he ate a bowl of noodles. "
Xu Fan, who had never spoken, immediately asked, "Dazhuang, did you see my uncle eaten noodles?"
"Well, I saw it." Dazhuang replied loudly.
"Have you see him eaten a big bowl?" Xu Fan asked again.
"It's a big bowl. He ate it very fast and after eating, he went back to the kitchen and came back out holding another bowl!"
Xu Fan immediately turned his head to look at Xu Zhao and said aloud, "Dad, Dazhuang said that Uncle secretly ate a big bowl of noodles!" As soon as Xu Fan's voice fell, there was an uproar, because the children wouldn't lie. Xu Zhao reached out and touched Xu Fan's head, knowing that Dazhuang would not hold back and help Xu Fan, even if his mother covered his mouth when he said it the first time, he was very loyal and Xu Fan was still charming of.
Xu Zuocheng's face suddenly turned red and blue, which was very ugly.1

There was finally a whisper between the neighbors.
"The oldest son of the Xu family is not kind anymore. No matter what, the child's meal cannot be eaten."
"Yeah, and this year everyone did not have enough to eat, with so many people, one bowl per person should be considered as good."
"My standard is one bowl per person, no one eats too much."
"My home too."
"The oldest son of the Xu's family is not doing this right. Everyone wants to eat more then what about the rest, what are they going to eat?"
"It's wrong."
"..."
Because food is tight, and every household did not have enough food to eat and have to evenly divide it, so it is particularly disgusting to eat another ones share of food. Although everyone did not say Xu Zuocheng on the face, Xu Zuocheng has obviously become the target of public opinion. Xu Zoucheng didn't expect a child to appear in the middle of the way and let him lose his tongue. At this time, neither entering nor retreating, he lost most of his face, very embarrassed, and wanted to die there.
Even the other Xu family members were embarrassed.
Xu Zhao and Xu Fan waited for Xu Zuocheng to react.
Xu Zuocheng's body was shaking, and even the bowl in his hand was shaking. He stared at Xu Zhao fiercely, as if he was saving a force that destroyed Xu Zhao and Xu Fan.
