After returning to the village, everyone got off the car one after another, leaving only Li Qingyun in the car. Old Gu was right, her home was indeed on the way to the cowshed, but it was a relatively long way. If he gave her a ride, he would have to take a detour, and she was grateful for his kindness.

So when she got off the bus, she took out a big white steamed bun and handed it to him: "Uncle, thank you for your hard work in the middle of the day. Take this and give it to the child."

She saw him hiding the fried dough twist in his arms in the morning and was reluctant to eat it. He must have left it for his grandchildren at home.

Old Gu refused to accept it and said that he had already accepted a large hemp twist from her and could not accept the steamed bun. Li Qingyun stuffed it into his hand.

He stood there at a loss, his hand-driven ox cart covered in dust. He felt embarrassed to return the steamed buns to the owner as they were dirty, but he also felt guilty accepting them.

"Uncle, thank you. You should go back soon. It's very hot. Be careful of heatstroke." Li Qingyun advised again and again.

Speaking of heatstroke, Old Gu then remembered that the cows had been hot all the way and it was time to take them back to the cowshed to rest and replenish water and grass.

Thinking that there was still a lot of time to go, he put away the steamed buns, said thank you, and drove away in the ox cart.

Li Qingyun made sure that he had gone far away before she took out the things she had packed last night and was about to take out.

Three big packages full of stuff.

After confirming that everything was correct, she knocked on the door loudly: "Dabao, Mom is back, open the door quickly."

After waiting for about a minute, the door was opened from the inside and Dabao rushed out like a little cannonball.

"Mom, you're finally back." He looked at his mother with bright eyes, his joy beyond words.

"Help me move things quickly. It's so hot. I bought you some big meat buns and white flour steamed buns." Li Qingyun said as she carried two heavy baskets in.

Dabao also quickly picked up something he could hold and followed.

The mother and son ran back and forth several times before they moved all the things in.

Li Qingyun was tired and hot, sweating profusely, and her vest was soaked.

"Dabao, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I ate a big twist of dough and fed my brother some porridge. He fell asleep again. Mom, are you hungry? I'll get you some twist of dough." Dabao was like a hardworking little bee. He would wipe her sweat with a towel and then bring her some twist of dough.

"Mom doesn't eat fried dough twists. We're having big meat buns for lunch today. Wait until Mom catches her breath, then go heat up the buns for us."

Li Qingyun poured a jar of warm water and drank it in one breath, and only then did she feel alive again.

After heating up the buns, she washed her own and Dabao's faces. The cool well water was very comfortable.

She asked Dabao to watch over the fire while she went to the main room, took out three different cans of milk powder from the package, opened them and poured them into the prepared cans, and made different marks on the bottle caps to distinguish the three different milk powders.

Install and tighten the lid, then throw the original packaging into the space to destroy the evidence.

Then I found the children's milk powder for Dabao and my own adult milk powder and made a bowl of each.

Dabao is very thin and has been malnourished for a long time. He is not tall and has a small body and hair. Although his original body is better, his complexion is a little sallow and he needs to supplement more high-protein and nutritious foods.

After the milk was prepared and brought to the dining table, the three buns in the pot were also heated up. When she took the plate to pick up the buns, she took the opportunity to take two hot big buns out from the space and mix them with the ones in the pot.

There are still more than 490 meat buns bought before in the space. Anyway, Dabao doesn’t know how many he bought, so he can mix the two flavors.

"Dabao, let's go, wash our hands and have dinner."

"Mom, what is this?" Dabao looked at the two bowls of milk on the table with a puzzled look. He put his little nose close to them and smelled them. They smelled so good.

"This is milk powder. Your father sent us the milk powder coupons a while ago. I ordered milk powder from the commune and picked it up today."

"Milk powder? You should save it for my brother. I don't want it. I'm already grown up and don't need milk. My brother needs it more."

After hearing what Dabao said, Li Qingyun felt particularly touched. It was really heartbreaking that this child was so sensible at such a young age.

"Brother has some too. This is yours, and mom also has some. The three of us need additional nutrition." After saying this, Li Qingyun picked up the bowl of milk powder in front of her and took a big sip.

Dabao finally felt relieved, and he also went to the bowl and took a sip of milk, savoring it carefully and swallowing it slowly. He looked up and said to his mother in surprise: "It tastes so good." So this is what milk powder tastes like.

"There's something even more delicious. Here, try this big meat bun."

"Mom, eat too." Dabao first handed a bun to his mother, then he took a bun and took a bite. The full meat filling mixed with the thick soup was so delicious that it was unforgettable.

Neither mother nor son said a word, they ate mouthful after mouthful with milk.

After eating two big meat buns and drinking the last sip of milk, Dabao burped contentedly, and his burp was full of the smell of meat mixed with the aroma of milk.

"Mom, the big meat buns are so delicious."

This was a rare good and filling meal in his short life, and he still remembers it vividly many years later.

Li Qingyun finished three buns and a big bowl of milk powder, but still felt a little full. These buns were big and full of ingredients. The buns in the space had rich flavors and fragrant seasonings, while the buns bought from the restaurant had a stronger meat flavor and original taste. In short, each had its own merits.

"Guihua, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but you don't know how to put on the dignity of a mother-in-law and control your daughter-in-law. Your family's hard-earned money is being squandered by her like this. With a spendthrift daughter-in-law like this, you won't be able to save any money. I saw her buy a whole cart of things today and brought them back."
