The next morning, there was an extra side dish on the Ye family's table than usual.
The small root vegetables I picked earlier are pickled and are almost ready to eat.
The white root vegetables have a hint of green on them and are covered with a layer of red seasoning.
Qingtian had never eaten small root vegetables cooked like this before, and she looked at it eagerly, but she was afraid of spicy food, so she didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks after watching for a long time.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye asked, "Would you like to try it? Mom doesn't make it very spicy."
As she spoke, she poured a glass of water and placed it next to her so that if she got spicy food on a sunny day, she could quickly drink some water to dilute it.
"Let me try it." Qingtian saw his brothers eating it bite by bite, and finally he was tempted and picked up one and put it in his mouth.
The first thing my tongue tasted was the chili sauce coating the outside. It was just as Mrs. Ye said. Although the chili sauce looked red, it was not very spicy. It also had a slightly sweet taste. Combined with the unique flavor of the small root vegetable, it was really delicious.
"Mom, it's delicious!" Qingtian said with surprise, and then he kept reaching out to pick up food without the help of Mrs. Ye, and he ate an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast than usual.
When Mrs. Ye noticed it, she had only one mouthful left of her last bowl of porridge.
"Oh, my dear, why did you eat so much? Be careful not to upset your stomach."
Mrs. Ye reached out and touched Qingtian's stomach worriedly, and sure enough, it was already a little bulging.
Mrs. Ye Er and Mrs. Ye San also noticed that the children ate extra much this morning. Almost all five boys ate one more steamed bun or steamed bun than usual.
As for Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San, they had not put down their chopsticks until this moment. They were both eating happily with steamed buns in one hand and small root vegetables in the other.
"If you want to eat more, there's still some available at noon and in the evening. There's no need to eat so much so early in the morning!" Mrs. Ye Sansao speechlessly snatched the half-eaten steamed bun from her youngest son.
"You're only a little kid, and you want to eat as much as your brothers. Your stomach is going to burst."
In fact, Old Mrs. Ye secretly ate half a steamed bun more than usual, but it was not noticeable compared to other people in the family, and was not discovered by her sons and daughters-in-law.
"The small root vegetables that the eldest brother's wife made this time are really delicious. It's perfect. After dinner, you can give some to them all to try."
When they heard that it was going to be given away, Ye Lao Er, Ye Lao San and several children all looked up at Old Lady Ye, their faces full of questions as to why it was going to be given away.
"We've got a jar of pickled vegetables at home, enough for us to eat. You'll get tired of this stuff in just a few days." Old Mrs. Ye was speechless. "I never saw you guys like eating small root vegetables so much before when we were outside the Great Wall. What's wrong this year? Is it possible that even small root vegetables taste better inside the Great Wall than outside?"
"After a winter without much to eat, it feels fresh to suddenly eat something else!"
"That's right. During the Chinese New Year, we eat meat every day at home. Eating some small root vegetables can help relieve the greasiness."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Ye rolled her eyes at Old Third Ye and said, "If you don't want to eat meat, you don't have to. It's only been a few days since we started living a good life, and you're already feeling proud?"
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just said that my sister-in-law's side dish is delicious." Ye Laosan quickly explained with a smile.
Mrs. Ye stood up and said, "Then I'll go deliver the side dishes. It's a good opportunity to take Qingtian out for a walk.
"I was away for a while, and the child ate an extra bowl of porridge. It would be bad if he got indigestion."
"Sister-in-law, you go quickly and don't worry about anything. I will take care of it." Sister-in-law Ye San said immediately.
"Yes, sister-in-law, I'm here too, we just need to clean up." Ye Ersao also added.
Everyone knows that Qingtian is in poor health, so if he feels uncomfortable anywhere, it will be a big deal.
Mrs. Ye went outside and picked up a few bowls of root vegetables from the jar, put them in a layered food box and carried them out.
Qingtian followed her, and Xiaoye followed quietly.
When Ye Changfeng ran out with the egg yolk that he had secretly hidden from his breakfast to feed Xiaoye, he found that the dog who used to squat at the door waiting for him to feed him every day was nowhere to be seen today.
"Mom, where is Xiaoye?" Ye Changfeng looked around the front and back yards but didn't see Gou Zi, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Xiao Ye?" Mrs. Ye Er didn't pay any attention at all and turned to look at Mrs. Ye San.
"Oh, do you even need to ask? He must have gone out with Qingtian." Mrs. Ye looked as if you would make a fuss. "As long as Qingtian goes out, didn't Xiaoye follow him that time?"
After hearing what Mrs. Ye San said, Ye Changfeng felt a little better.
Xiaoye was originally a dog that my sister brought home, and it went out to protect my sister.
But he has to go to private school now and can't wait for Xiaoye to come back.
Ye Changfeng was afraid that his mother would find out about the egg yolk in his hand, so he quietly stuffed it into his sleeve. Then he followed his brothers to the west room to get his schoolbag and went to the private school together.
Mrs. Ye was busy cleaning up the dishes and didn't notice her son's little action.
The five children of the Ye family rushed out of the house, and the second and third children followed behind, carrying hoes.
Recently, they send their children to private school every day before going to the fields.
Although it's not particularly convenient, it's not too far away.
At this time, the two sons of Ye Qinggang's family next door were sitting on the doorstep, looking at the Ye family's children with envy as they walked out with their schoolbags on their backs, talking and laughing.
Ye Rongan asked in a low voice: "Brother, why can they all go to private school, why don't you go?"
Ye Rongxu was a little embarrassed by the question, but he still didn't want his younger brother to know about the family situation, so he coaxed him, "Brother doesn't like studying, so I won't go. In two years, when you are older, your parents will send you to school."
