The noodles that Mu Yuanqing sent finally had a chance to be put into the pot. Ningxia and her husband each had a bowl, and Lin Yi's bowl was equivalent to two bowls for her and Sangsang.
Ningxia also fried the last four eggs in the house into poached eggs, one for her and Sangsang, and two for Lin Yi.
A handful of bok choy is sprinkled in the bowl of noodles, accompanied by chopped green onions and a golden poached egg, which is very appetizing.
"Wow~ Eggs~" Sangsang sat at the dining table and exclaimed in amazement at the small bowl of noodles that Ningxia brought over.
"You're not angry anymore?"
Sangsang raised his head and giggled, the fluffy curls on his forehead falling back, looking very cute. "Hehe, I'm not angry~ Thank you Xia Xia~"
How could Ningxia be angry with her? She rubbed her head in annoyance and said, "There's no point in pretending to be good. You must write down the whole syllables for me tonight."
"Okay~" Sangsang agreed obediently, and waited until Lin Yi sat down before picking up the chopsticks and starting to eat.
The convenience of instant noodles has aroused Ningxia's will to strive. She must make a lot of money so that her family can only eat instant noodles in the future and no longer have to go through the trouble of kneading the dough herself!
The three of them cleaned their bowls clean. The day passed by easily.
Ningxia returned to the kitchen and continued to busy herself with making rice balls to take out tomorrow.
Sangsang sat next to Lin Yi and continued to work hard. Xia Xia had told her many times about learning pinyin. If she still couldn't learn it, Xia Xia would really get angry.
Lin Yi rarely did not take out his needle and thread. He picked up the tailoring pattern book at home and searched carefully, hoping to find a way to cut the cloak fabric.
Ningxia came back after finishing the kitchen work and saw that the brother and sister were working more seriously than each other. She did not disturb them and quietly turned on the light bulb, and the room became bright again.
"Are you going to get up? If not, let's leave." The next morning, Ningxia stood by the bed and looked at someone who was lying in bed.
Sangsang struggled to get up and sit up. He closed his eyes and blinked a few times but couldn't open them. Then he fell back onto the bed. After just two seconds, he struggled to sit up again and stretched out his hands to ask Ningxia to hug him.
Ning Xia had to use a lot of effort to suppress the corners of her mouth after seeing her series of actions. She pulled her into her arms and rubbed her flying curls. "Okay, stop acting like a spoiled child. Hurry up and change your clothes and wash up. We're going out."
Sangsang nodded, closed his eyes and jumped out of bed. He stumbled while looking for his shoes, and hurriedly grabbed the edge of the bed. Not remembering his lesson, he continued to look for his shoes with his eyes closed and his legs stretched out.
Ningxia shook her head and smiled, ignored her, and went to the back to hold Maomao.
"Are you all right?"
"Okay, the sheep and chickens have been fed, and the food for today has been added." Lin Yi reached out and took Sangsang's hand and answered Ningxia.
He got up earlier than Ningxia. When Ningxia got up, he had already prepared honey water. They gave each of the three of them a cup. Ningxia didn't refuse and drank it in one gulp.
Drink a glass of additive-free honey water in the morning and your body will feel warm.
It is worth mentioning that Sangsang finally finished taking the Chinese medicine yesterday. Ningxia was relieved to see that her appetite was getting better day by day and her spirits were also better.
After taking Chinese medicine for a month, not to mention Sangsang, even Ningxia felt very bitter and had a war of words with her every day.
"Auntie Qing!"
"Sangsang is here too?"
Seeing Mu Yuanqing waiting at the edge of the pine forest, Ningxia stepped forward and greeted him.
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Have you eaten? If not, I brought some rice balls. I have some extra." Ningxia said as she reached out to touch Maomao.
"I've eaten! Save it for me at noon, and I'll have a meal with you."
Ningxia agreed with a smile.
They came out with a mission, so they stopped chatting and went into the pine forest to collect firewood.
After the scorching sun month, many branches died and fell off, and the ground was covered with dry pine needles and firewood.
Lin Yi picked up the trees on the ground, while Ningxia took a machete and chopped down the dead trees that were still standing in the soil. In half a day, there were several large trees piled on the ground.
"Come on, let's transport it out and load it first, then come back after a break."
Lin Yi nodded and wiped the sweat off his face. He was sweating even in late autumn, which meant the workload was quite heavy.
"How come you made so many?"
Ningxia looked at the pile of firewood next to Mu Yuanqing, which was obviously too small, and said, "The two of us need to be quick."
Several people gathered the firewood into lengths suitable for loading and unloading, piled it into stacks and placed it aside, waiting to be loaded onto Maomao and the horse when they set off.
The rice balls that Ningxia brought were also eaten up. Everyone was busy until dusk fell and they stopped only when their vision began to be restricted in the pine forest.
"That's almost it. I can't do it anymore. Come back tomorrow." Mu Yuanqing waved his hands repeatedly, and the small tufts of hair tied at the back of his head fell loose a lot, and he looked a little disheveled.
Ningxia nodded. She was exhausted too. Maomao couldn't even haul all the firewood back home in one trip. Fortunately, it wouldn't rain for the next few days, so the firewood could be left here overnight.
Sangsang was also busy carrying firewood and picking up pine needles. His legs were shaking as he walked on the way back.
Ningxia felt alive again after returning home, boiling a pot of hot water and washing her body thoroughly.
Sangsang fell asleep after eating fried rice. It was just getting dark. "Don't go tomorrow."
"Why?" Lin Yi stopped wiping his head.
"It's too tiring. Your bodies can't handle it. You'll be out for so many days straight! If you really want to go, go every other day."
"What about you?"
"I can't stand working from morning till night every day. I'll go after lunch tomorrow. I'll be working half a day. You're at home, so someone has to cook, right?"
Lin Yi nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go the day after tomorrow." If he did more, Sister Xia Xia would have to do less.
The two families worked for more than ten days in a row, and Ningxia stopped only when the large yard of more than 40 square meters was full of firewood.
Ningxia didn't let Lin Yi and Sangsang go for the next few days. He was busy on his own. After he came back, he slept for a day and a night before he recovered.
Ningxia took the hot noodles handed to her by Lin Yi and slurped them several times before speaking, "Don't worry, I'm just tired. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
Lin Yi's eyes were full of disapproval. "Sister, don't do this next time! Either take me with you, or just do it slowly. You're worried that our bodies can't handle it, but can you handle it?"
Seeing Lin Yi get angry for the first time, Ningxia was a little stunned, but it was difficult to refute, so she could only laugh, "I know, I know! You are not in a hurry to go up the mountain to collect herbs! I won't do that next time!"
Lin Yi wanted to say something else, but seeing Ningxia wolfing down the food, he swallowed his anger.
Ningxia observed the other person silently, and when she saw Lin Yi pursing his lips and holding back, she lowered her head and couldn't help but smile. A warm current surged in her heart. She was actually scolded by Lin Yi. This feeling was really wonderful!
