He seemed quite anxious, and since Chen Hua didn't have any questions, she asked him to cook.
"That's all, you can go now!"
He was told to cook, but Shen Hua still watched from the side.
There wasn't much food in the cooking area, just a few sprouted potatoes and some dark stuff, which I guessed was rice!
There was a lot of corn on the side, but this corn was very old, and the kernels looked very small.
However, he surprisingly said that in general, grain in rural areas is hidden away. From the outside, you can't see much of it.
She's not good at cooking at all, which is fine. They don't have any assigned cooking duties.
They had originally agreed that Zhang Lele would cook for them, but now that the tasks have been assigned, she can only think about herself.
However, when it comes to cooking, Xie Sichen's skills are exceptional.
However, he speaks very little now, and she doesn't know how to speak up, so she can only watch Xiao Wang do it.
Although it was called cooking, what he made was actually very simple. He only saw Wu Xiaowang put water in a pot and bring it to a boil, then rinse a bowl of dark rice, wash it, and put it in the pot to cook. He also washed some potatoes, didn't peel them, and put them in the pot to cook together.
"Xiao Wang, don't you need to peel these potatoes?"
Although she couldn't cook, she still knew that potatoes needed to be peeled, so when she saw that Xiao Wang hadn't peeled them, she asked.
Xiao Wang was a little embarrassed, but still said hesitantly, "You don't need to peel it. You can eat it. There's not much left, and my sister said we can't waste food."
A painting depicting the waste of food: ...
Honestly, she always ate everything she ordered, leaving nothing to waste.
"Is it that I don't understand, or is Xiao Wang more capable?"
Just then, a sound came from outside the house, and Xiao Wang happily ran out.
"Sister, you're back. Big brother and little brother are already here, they're inside."
Chen Hua and the others didn't hear the girl's voice, but they heard heavy footsteps. When the girl saw them, she first looked them over warily for a few moments before politely saying, "Hello, brothers, my name is Wu Xiaotao."
Compared to Wu Xiaowang, she spoke much less, but she looked even thinner and darker-skinned than Wu Xiaowang.
She has endured burdens she shouldn't have had at such a young age.
"Xie Sichen."
Chen Hua smiled and said, "Hello, Xiao Tao. My name is Chen Hua. You can call me Brother Hua."
Compared to Xie Sichen, Shen Hua seemed easier to get along with. Wu Xiaotao smiled at them and then went to tidy up what needed to be tidied up.
Seeing that the meal was almost ready, he set his sights on his younger brother.
"Xiao Wang, didn't you say you'd cook after I got back? What if you get hurt again?"
Xiao Wang lowered her head with a hint of grievance, but still stubbornly said, "Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I can help you now. I won't hurt myself anymore. You're so busy, sister. I want to help you a little so I can feel a bit better."
"It's all my fault for growing so slowly. If I had grown into a big girl, then my sister wouldn't have to take care of me anymore, and I would be the one taking care of her."
Seeing this well-behaved child, Wu Xiaotao realized that she had said this more than once or twice. Since he couldn't say it, she decided to let him try!
"Alright then! But be careful when you're cooking."
Seeing that the black rice porridge was ready, Wu Xiaotao divided it into four portions and brought the two bowls with more rice to Chen Hua and the others.
Shen Hua and the other person were also surprised that there was a share for them; this little bit wasn't even enough for the two of them to eat.
The production team hadn't instructed them to prepare meals for them, but they shared their food without hesitation, showing that they were very kind-hearted.
"Big brother, little brother, eat up, it's delicious!" Xiao Wang said happily.
His eyes were sparkling; I couldn't tell if he was praising the porridge for being delicious or for his excellent cooking skills.
Before Shen Hua and the others started eating, he held his own bowl but did not start eating.
Chen Hua didn't accept it, but said, "Thank you, Xiao Tao, but we've already eaten. You guys eat!"
She had observed that the place was backed by mountains, and there should be plenty of wild game in the mountains. Tomorrow she would find an opportunity to sneak out and give them some extra food.
She was such a well-behaved child; if the fox hadn't been so inappropriate to be there, she would have wanted it to play with the two of them and help them get along.
Wu Xiaotao was a little reserved, but she remembered that the village chief had said before that there was no need to prepare food, so she said that and then ate with her younger brother.
Actually, the two siblings' stomachs were already growling with hunger. Although they each drank two bowls of not-so-thick porridge, it didn't help much.
Let's not even talk about Wu Xiaowang. Wu Xiaotao does so much work every day, it's simply not enough for her to go out and buy a few things.
After discussing it, Shen Hua and Xie Sichen decided to take out two buckets of instant noodles for their two siblings.
They weren't worried about getting food as part of their tasks; as long as they had hands and feet, they wouldn't go hungry.
The key point is that neither of them are ordinary people, so it would be difficult for them to secretly take the food to eat when there are no cameras at night.
"Xiao Wang, come here to your brother for a moment."
After Xiao Wang finished eating, he insisted on helping his sister wash the dishes. Now that he had finished washing them, he heard Chen Hua calling him and quickly ran over.
"Young man, what do you need?"
Speaking in a rather official tone, Shen Hua took out a few candies and said to him, "Could you heat up some water for me, brother? This is your reward."
Wu Xiaowang hadn't forgotten the taste of this candy at all, and without thinking, he ran over to boil water.
He didn't take the candy from the painter's hand, presumably because he planned to heat up the water first before taking the candy. He was really well-behaved.
They use firewood to boil water and cook, which is quite troublesome. However, since the fire was already lit before cooking, all they need to do now is put the pot on it, pour the water in, and bring it to a boil.
Before long, Wu Xiaowang ran out.
"Young man, the water has boiled."
He didn't know what Shen Hua needed to do to boil water, so he could only stand there awkwardly.
Shen Hua took the instant noodles and walked over, gave him the promised candy, and then went to the hot water area.
As soon as I stepped over, I saw Wu Xiaotao embroidering something on the small bed. It seemed she was mending clothes for Xiaowang, so the needle was going back and forth.
He didn't look up when he saw Chen Hua, because the soundproofing wasn't good and he had already heard their previous conversation.
After Chen Hua opened the instant noodles and put them in hot water to soak, the aroma wafted over.
Not only did Wu Xiaowang run to the door and sniff the air frantically, but even Wu Xiaotao, who was busy at work, looked up.
