Chapter 5 Don't Help Her
"She even took the baby's milk powder?" Qian Lan's voice rose a few notches with excitement.
It would have been fine if Qin Shulan had just taken the meat and eggs, but she even took the children's food rations.
Obviously, her so-called love for her grandchildren was all fake. Which grandmother who loves her granddaughter so much would even take her granddaughter's food rations?
The bruises on Beibei's legs were probably caused by Qin Shulan pinching him, just as Xiaoyu said.
Yu Hui nodded. "Beibei has never been breastfed, so she relies on formula to supplement her nutrition. She can't stop using formula, and I don't know where to get formula coupons. Sister-in-law, please help me find out who has some, and I'll buy it for her. It doesn't matter if you give me a little more."
"Okay." Qian Lan agreed. "I'll go get you some meat and eggs first. After dinner tonight, when Lao Yu and I are on our way, I'll go ask around for you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
When the three children saw Yu Hui carrying the meat home, their eyes widened.
Little foodie Gu Xi immediately went over to him, "Mom, are we having meat tonight?"
"Yeah." Yu Hui responded and carried the meat into the kitchen. Gu Xi followed her in.
Gu Dong looked at Gu Xi with gritted teeth, and angrily called him a traitor and a spineless person.
Gu Xi didn't hear his brother scolding him and just followed his stepmother.
Yu Hui couldn't bear to see his little hands were so dirty. The water in the stove was not hot anymore, so she poured it into a basin and added some cold water to wash his face and hands.
Gu Xi was very obedient. He squatted on the ground and let his stepmother wash his hands and face.
"Why are you playing so dirty?" Yu Hui asked with a frown and some disgust.
"I fell."
Yu Hui frowned even more when she heard this. "Did you fall anywhere?"
Gu Xi touched her knee with her small hand, "My knee hurts."
Yu Hui lifted up his trouser leg and took a look. There was a small bruise on his knee. It didn't look serious and would heal in a few days.
"Walk carefully and don't run too fast." His voice softened.
Gu Xi heard the concern in his stepmother's words and nodded obediently.
After washing his face and hands, Gu Xi turned into a clean baby. His little face was white and clean, his cheeks were full of fat, and his big eyes were bright and round.
Yu Hui, who loves cute babies, completely fell in love with her. She couldn't help but pinch the little fat on the child's face.
Well, very soft.
"Go play." She pushed the child's shoulder.
Gu Xi didn't leave, "Mom, I'll cook with you."
Yu Hui laughed and said, "How can a little kid like you cook?"
"I, I... help my mother wash vegetables." Gu Xi hesitated for a long time before coming out.
"Then go pick some cabbage for me so I can make some meat and vegetable porridge for my sister."
Beibei is hungry, so I have to prepare some complementary food for her first.
"Okay." Gu Xi ran out of the kitchen happily.
Yu Hui was worried that he would fall again, so she shouted, "Don't run too fast."
When the child heard this, he slowed down his pace.
Gu Dong, who was in the main room, heard Gu Xi was going to help her vicious stepmother pick vegetables, so he walked to the door and shouted, "Gu Xixi, come in."
Gu Xi stopped and looked at his elder brother in confusion, "But I want to pick some vegetables."
"Don't help her pull it." Gu Dong said fiercely.
"Hmm..." Gu Xi looked at the kitchen, then looked at his eldest brother in the main room. The little guy was very confused.
"Gu Xixi, come in quickly, otherwise my brother and I won't play with you." Gu Nan threatened fiercely.
In the kitchen, Yu Hui poured the washed rice into a small pot, covered it with a lid and walked out of the kitchen.
"Let's go in and play with the brothers." She said to Gu Xi, then walked to the corner, plucked a tender green cabbage, and pulled four green garlic sprouts. She would add some of them when stir-frying the meat later. It would be very fragrant.
Gu Xi walked into the main room with a pout, and his two brothers glared at him.
"You are just a little traitor." Gu Nan pointed at him and said.
"I'm not a little traitor." Gu Xi retorted aggrievedly.
Gu Dong: "You are."
Gu Xi: "Hmm..."
Yu Hui cut some lean meat from the pork belly, chopped it up, and marinated it with a little ginger water to remove the fishy smell. She also washed the bok choy and chopped it finely.
The honeycomb coal burned quickly, and the porridge in the small pot boiled. Yu Hui put the lean meat and bok choy in, covered the pot and continued to cook.
While the rice was cooking, Yu Hui also lit the coal in the big stove and washed the rice and put it into the pot.
The box for scooping rice should have been one that held half a pound of rice, but Yu Hui scooped two and a half boxes. Before her death, she had not eaten or drunk anything for two or three days and had to rely on intravenous nutrient solution.
The original owner had been hungry all day and felt that she could eat a whole cow.
There were some sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, and a white dumpling piled up in the corner of the kitchen. Yu Hui decided that in addition to stir-frying the meat, she would also make some sweet and sour cabbage and stir-fry some shredded potatoes.
She had helped out in the orphanage's kitchen many times before, and she was very quick with her hands and feet. She quickly peeled the potatoes and cut them into even, thin strips.
Tear the babaobai into small pieces of similar size with your hands, and then wash them with water.
The dishes weren't ready yet, but the porridge in the small pot was ready. Yu Hui scooped some into a small bowl and took the pot off the stove, setting it aside. There was still half a bowl of meat porridge left in the pot, so she could feed Beibei when she got hungry.
Yu Hui put the meat porridge in cold water to cool it down. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she cut out the ingredients and took out a bowl of chopped pickles from the pickle jar.
Before leaving the kitchen, he stirred the boiling rice with a large spoon.
"You guys feed Beibei some porridge, I'm going to cook." Yu Hui walked into the main room and handed the porridge to the eldest Gu Dong.
The latter took it with a cold face and moved his throat.
Gu Xi stared at the porridge in his elder brother's hand with his eyes wide open, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. He also seemed to want to eat meat porridge.
Gu Nan licked his lips and didn't even look at the porridge, but he was still very greedy.
When the three brothers smelled the aroma of the meat porridge just now, their mouths were watering with greed.
When Yu Hui saw Gu Dong take the bowl, she turned around and left without any worries.
Gu Dong is already seven years old and in elementary school, so he should be able to feed his sister some porridge.
Besides, she is his sister, he can't help but feed her well.
"Brother, I want to eat too." Gu Xi said with eager eyes.
Gu Dong scooped up the porridge, blew on it, touched it with his lips, and made sure it was not hot before feeding it to his sister.
"Awoo..." Beibei took a big gulp and put the spoon into his mouth.
Gu Dong licked the porridge on his lips. It had no salty taste and was very light, but it had a meaty flavor and was still very fragrant.
He pulled the spoon out of his sister's mouth and said with a straight face, "This is your porridge."
As a brother, how can I eat my sister's porridge!
Gu Xi's mouth pursed, and he raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, mumbling softly, "Didn't you let grandma take away my sister's milk powder?"
Gu Dong: “…”
What should I do if I feel like hitting my brother?
Qian Lan was about to cook when she smelled an aroma coming from next door. As soon as she smelled it, she knew that they must be stir-fried pork belly with chopped pickles.
"This aroma is really amazing. How about I stir-fry some pork belly with pickled vegetables tonight?"
"That's settled."
Yu Hui was very skillful and quickly prepared three dishes. Each dish was fragrant, colorful, fragrant and delicious.
Before serving, she tasted it herself and found it very delicious.
Although the seasoning is not as rich as that in the 21st century, it has a authentic taste that returns to nature.
"Sister has finished eating." Gu Dong walked into the kitchen with an empty bowl, but his eyes were always glancing at the dishes on the stove.
