"Lao Xiao, I'm going to get up and cook for the kids. Please keep an eye on Xiao Xiao."

The next day, Muxue was ready to get up at dawn.

"Don't get up today. Although our grandson doesn't look like someone who needs food and drink, it's rare for people to eat three meals a day these days."

In the 1960s and 1970s, during the slack season, most people had two meals a day, one dry and one liquid.

I don’t work, so it’s a waste to eat too much. As long as I don’t starve to death, that’s fine.

"You're really thoughtful. With three more people in the family all of a sudden, I don't know if my eldest grandson can handle it. Why don't we stay for two days and then go back?"

Even though she was reluctant to part with her eldest grandson and granddaughter, Mu Xue was unwilling to add burden to the children.

"Okay, I'll tell Bai Yi when I get up. We all know how filial he is, and we can't let the children starve with us.

We won’t starve to death when we go back, the farm can still guarantee two bowls of porridge a day.”

They just recognized each other yesterday, and Xiao Qingyang couldn't resist Yang Baiyi, so he followed him here on impulse.

After sleeping for a night, I thought of a big problem. Now food is planned. If the three of them eat one more bite, the grandson will have to eat one less bite.

It would be better for our family of three to go back to the farm. It’s only a dozen miles away, and it’s also convenient for my grandson to take his granddaughter there.

"Bai Yi, did you hear any noise last night?"

Without having to hold the little girl in her arms, Lin Wanru got up early. When she walked out of the room, she saw Yang Baiyi washing up in the yard.

"I heard it. A pack of wolves entered the village. I went out last night and wiped out the wolves."

This matter will spread today and cannot be concealed at all, so Yang Baiyi simply confessed it directly.

The story of creating an uncle out of thin air has been exposed, but Lin Wanru was magnanimous and didn't care about it.

There can be some privacy between lovers, but if everything is hidden, the basis of trust will gradually be lost.

"Are you stupid? You knew it was a pack of wolves, but you still approached them. What if something goes wrong?"

In a hurry, Lin Wanru threw away her reserve and pulled Yang Baiyi to look him up and down carefully, making Yang Baiyi dizzy.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Seeing that Lin Wanru cared about him so much, Yang Baiyi smiled like a fool.

"You still dare to laugh? Don't take such risks in the future. The production team has chickens, ducks, and big fat pigs. The wolves will naturally go back when they are full."

Lin Wanru put her hands on her waist and scolded Yang Baiyi with a frown.

In her eyes, all the poultry and livestock in the production team combined were not as important as a single hair of Yang Baiyi.

"Yes, yes, the leader has taught me a lesson. I will never dare to do it again."

Yang Baiyi quickly admitted his mistake, full of desire to survive, but he was brushing his teeth and had not rinsed his mouth yet, so when he spoke, his mouth was full of white foam.

Lin Wanru couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Idiot, why don't you rinse your mouth quickly?"

…

After they washed up, they started to make breakfast.

I fried golden dough sticks again, fried a dozen soft-boiled eggs, mixed a refreshing cold dish, and boiled a small pot of hot water. After a while, when everyone got up, the temperature was just right for making milk powder.

That is Lin Wanru, who grew up in a military compound and never had to worry about food.

If you had grown up in hardship, you would have noticed something was wrong long ago.

Yang Baiyi didn't go out to buy food, but the fine grains, meat and eggs at home could never be finished.

The two of them brought breakfast to the main room, and Yang Baiyi began to call grandma and grandpa to get up.

"Grandpa and grandma, are you awake? Get up and have breakfast."

"Uncle, get up and have breakfast."

…

"Okay, get up right away."

In fact, the Xiao family had woken up long ago, but they did not get up according to their usual living habits.

On the farm, they never have breakfast, so they would rather lie down than sit, and would rather stand than sit, in order to reduce consumption as much as possible.

When the old couple and Xiao Fuxing opened the door, Yang Baiyi was standing at the door of the east wing with a smile on his face, holding several sets of toiletries in his hands.

Three sets of toothpaste and toothbrushes, three teacups, three towels, and three bars of soap, all brand new.

"Xiaoxiao, your toiletries are still in Sister Wanru's room. Can you wash yourself?"

After handing the toiletries to the old couple, Yang Baiyi began to arrange for Yang Xiaoxiao to wash up.

"Brother, I can wash myself a long time ago."

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and ran towards her and Lin Wanru's room.

"Bai Yi, you don't have to prepare breakfast for us. We never eat breakfast on the farm."

Xiao Qingyang is now regretting more and more. His family of three are all staying with his grandson. How much food will they need?

"Grandpa, man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry.

We have three meals a day. If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaoxiao later.”

As soon as Yang Baiyi saw the old man's expression, he knew he was overthinking it.

The three members of the Xiao family looked at each other. Since Yang Baiyi allowed them to ask Xiaoxiao, what he said must be true.

This grandson of his must be hiding something. In this day and age, let alone a village doctor, even the biggest leaders have a fixed amount of food in their homes.

"Xiaoxiao, do you eat like this every morning?"

To be honest, the breakfast on the table really scared Xiao Qingyang and his family.

There was a full basket of fried dough sticks and more than a dozen fried eggs, probably prepared for two per person.

I don’t know how much sesame oil was put into the cold dish, it smells so fragrant.

The most exaggerated thing is the milk powder, which has the aroma of malted milk.

I don’t know whether it was the milk powder made by my eldest grandson or Lin Wanru. She was really rough with it. The milk powder is visibly thick. How much milk powder was put in it!

It is no exaggeration to say that I have never had breakfast like this, not even when I was mayor, let alone in the past few years on the farm!

When I was mayor, I could eat all I wanted of steamed buns made from two grains of flour, and I felt pretty good about it.

But what did the eldest grandson eat? No one would eat white flour buns, and fried dough sticks are very oil-intensive.

"No, sometimes I also eat fried dumplings or steamed buns. I love everything my brother cooks!"

The little girl looked calm and spoke the truth.

"I'm asking no questions, let's eat."

Xiao Qingyang became more and more certain of his guess that there must be other ways to supply materials to his eldest grandson.

The Xiao family of three ate very slowly, as if they would not be able to show their respect for the food if they did not savor it carefully.

After breakfast, Xiao Fuxing was about to clean up the dishes as usual, but was stopped by Lin Wanru.

"You are the elder, there is no reason for me to ask you to wash the dishes. Just let me do it."

Lin Wanru felt that calling him by his name was too rude, and calling him uncle was not appropriate either, so she just spoke directly.

"Comrade Lin Wanru, let me do it. I'm too young to sit around and eat for free."

It is understandable for Yang Baiyi to be filial to his grandparents, as he is only two or three years older than his nephew. However, he cannot take advantage of his seniority and act like an overlord.
