Chapter 8 Mom Eats
Lin Yunxi went to bed early last night and woke up just after five o'clock in the morning.
The temperature was a bit cool in the morning. After Lin Yunxi got dressed, she came to the bed and tucked in the quilt for her baby son.
He moved quietly, closed the door quietly, and went to the well to wash.
Before Lin Yunxi traveled through time, he lived in the south and was used to eating porridge for breakfast.
She went to the storage room and took out a golden, chubby little pumpkin. This pumpkin was brought from her mother's home. It was sweet and soft, and was perfect for making porridge.
Drinking porridge alone was not enough to fill her up, so Lin Yunxi cut a handful of fresh green leeks from the vegetable garden in the space and baked twenty leek and egg pies.
The pies were not big, so she could eat three or four by herself.
She planned to work in the fields today, so she would not be able to come back in time to cook at noon. The remaining pie was just right for lunch.
In addition, Lin Yunxi caught some shrimps from the pond in the space and made a steamed egg with shrimps for Gu Jiayan.
After the meal was served, Lin Yunxi came to the bedroom. She gently pinched her son's nose and called softly.
"Baby, it's time to get up."
Gu Jiayan was a baby who had no temper when waking up. When he heard his mother’s gentle voice, he opened his eyes drowsily.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his mother. He grinned, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, and opened his arms to reach out for a hug.
Lin Yunxi walked forward and hugged her son in her arms, picked up the small clothes on the bedside and helped him put them on.
"It's time to eat." Gu Jiayan sat obediently on the stool, opening his little mouth like a baby swallow, waiting for his mother to feed him.
Seeing his son's cheeks bulging as he ate mouthful after mouthful, Lin Yunxi wanted to tease him.
"Mom wants to eat too."
As she spoke, she scooped a full spoonful of egg custard and brought it to her mouth, wanting to see her son's reaction.
"No." Gu Jiayan took his mother's hand and put the egg custard into his mouth.
Then he pointed at the shrimp in the bowl and said in a baby voice, "Mom, eat."
It turned out that the spoonful of egg custard did not contain shrimp, and Gu Jiayan wanted his mother to eat what he thought was the most delicious.
"Thank you, baby." Lin Yunxi kissed her son's little face touched.
"Mom has eaten, baby, eat now."
Gu Jiayan pursed his lips and looked at his mother stubbornly, as if to say, "I won't eat unless my mother wants to."
Lin Yunxi had no choice but to put the shrimp and egg custard into her mouth, and after eating, she did not forget to open her mouth to signal.
Little Yanyan was satisfied then and continued eating, shaking her little feet happily while eating.
After breakfast, Lin Yunxi took out a basket and put five pies and a full pot of spiritual spring water in it.
The remaining pie is kept in the space, after all, there is a natural refrigerator called space.
No matter whether it is food or daily necessities, it will remain the same when you take it out as when you put it in. There is no such thing as spoilage or expiration.
Besides, the weather is too hot now, and the pie will definitely go bad if left overnight.
Everything was ready. Lin Yunxi took out the wire gloves and straw hat that he had stored in the space earlier, put them on, and took his son out fully armed.
These things were used by her when she first opened up space. Now, with the growth of her mental power and her absolute control over space.
Lin Yunxi no longer needs to work personally. He can complete a series of tasks such as reclamation, planting, picking, and warehousing with just a thought.
By the time the mother and daughter arrived, the field was already crowded with people, all of whom were selecting farm tools that suited them.
Lin Yunxi went straight to the scorekeeper: "Uncle Gu, I want to sign my name."
Gu Genquan was a little surprised. The sun rose from the west today, and the second daughter-in-law of the Gu family actually took the initiative to come to work.
Lin Yunxi ignored the strange look from the other party and went straight to the scorebook to sign her name. Her task today was to harvest wheat.
Fortunately, the wheat field she was allocated was in a good location, and there was a big tree with lush branches and leaves at the edge of the field. She could rest under the shade of the tree when she was tired.
Before starting to work, Lin Yunxi took out a gray, inconspicuous picnic blanket and spread it under the big tree.
"Baby, just sit here and play. Mommy is right in front. Call mommy when you are thirsty or hungry."
Gu Jiayan nodded and waved to her mother obediently.
Lin Yunxi turned around, picked up the sickle and began to cut the wheat. Following the steps in her memory, she became more and more familiar with it, and her movements became faster and faster.
Gu Changfu, the village chief of Gujia Village, walked on the ridge of the field with his hands behind his back, inspecting the field. Looking at Lin Yunxi, who was far ahead and leaving the other educated youth behind, he nodded with satisfaction.
Although the daughter-in-law of the Gu family looks a bit lazy at ordinary times, she is just as good as the old masters when she works seriously.
The most challenging thing about autumn harvest is not the sore waist caused by squatting for a long time, but the scorching sun above your head.
As the sun slowly rose, the temperature of the ground became higher and higher. Lin Yunxi's clothes were already soaked and stuck to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The sweat on his head flowed down his cheeks and fell on his neck which was pierced by the wheat awns. The wound was stung by the sweat and it was burning with pain.
Lin Yunxi took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face, stood up, straightened his back, walked to the edge of the field and sat down on the picnic blanket.
Gu Jiayan considerately handed over the kettle, and Lin Yunxi couldn't wait to take a few gulps.
The spiritual spring water in the pot is still as cool and sweet as ever, slowly repairing the fatigue in the body. After drinking a sip, I feel like I'm alive again.
Lin Yunxi handed the kettle to Gu Jiayan's mouth and fed him some water.
"Baby, are you hungry?"
Gu Jiayan shook his little head and pointed in a direction: "I'm not hungry, baby, play."
Lin Yunxi looked over and saw a child picking up rice ears behind the adults.
That's not just playing. Children who pick up more can earn one or two work points for their family every day.
"Okay, but don't run so fast." Looking at his son who was staring at him eagerly, Lin Yunxi couldn't bear to refuse.
The field was full of wheat stubble. If you accidentally tripped, you would definitely break your knee, and you might even poke your eyes.
The current medical level is not very good. If any accident happens, it will be too late to regret.
Lin Yunxi looked at her son's wet, big round eyes and couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to give him detailed instructions.
Gu Jiayan had been sitting for the whole morning and could no longer hold back. After getting his mother's consent, he rushed to the fields impatiently.
He lowered his head and patrolled carefully. When he picked up a bunch of rice ears, he took them to his mother and asked for praise as if they were treasures.
Lin Yunxi naturally would not let her son down, and she kept praising him.
With Gu Jiayan's company, Lin Yunxi felt that time was not so unbearable, and he mustered up his strength to cut another row of wheat.
Suddenly it was time for lunch.
"Second Aunt, my grandma is calling you to eat over there." Gu Jiahao trotted over, his face flushed with heat, and pointed to the other side of the field while panting.
