The white lion also came over, looked at the Houttuynia cordata on the ground, and put it into the basket again, without noticing that the quantity was wrong.
Tang Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to be careless.
When the mother and son returned home, it was already dark and the eldest son had already prepared dinner.
After seeing the two come back, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained a little: "Second brother, Mom is still injured, why didn't you hold on a little longer? Climbing the mountain is so tiring."
"Don't blame him. I insisted on going."
After Tang Youyou took out all the Houttuynia cordata, she ordered, "Tiger, go wash it all clean."
I went into the house and looked at the wide variety of goods on the panel, feeling very happy.
He ordered salt without hesitation. There happened to be a large bowl in the room, and half a pound of salt cost exactly five copper coins. He also bought a steamed bun, and all the six cents were spent.
Looking at the other goods, he sighed. He couldn't be too extravagant now. The house was in a shabby state and he couldn't look after too many things.
It’s so inconvenient for me to live with my three sons.
In the kitchen, four boys were talking in low voices.
"I say, second brother, why don't you stop me? How can I eat this?"
"Brother, I told you everything, but Mother wouldn't listen. I discovered this in the thorn cage, and it took some effort."
"Even pigs won't eat this stuff. There are plenty of it in the creeks. Is mother confused?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Mom hurt her head. It will be fine after a while. Wash it first. Don't eat it. She won't pick it again in the future."
"Mom has really changed..."
"Ahem! What are you talking about? It's not right to speak ill of others behind their backs!" Tang Youyou's voice came.
Several children stood upright as if they had committed a crime.
She looked at the four people in the dim oil lamp, feeling a little emotional. These children would still be elementary school students or junior high school students in modern times, the treasures of the family.
In ancient times, people had to take on the responsibility of supporting their families.
"I remember that we have separated from the old house. Your grandfather said that day that he would divorce me. Do you want to follow me or go back to the old house?"
The four children said in unison: "We will follow Mom!"
What's the point of going back? I'll still be starving and poorly clothed, and I'll be scolded. It's not impossible that I'll be sold one day. At least I won't be scolded if I stay with my mother.
Tang Youyou was relieved and thought for a moment: "In that case, I will change your names today. Your eldest sister will be named Bai Ruoxue, the eldest will be Bai Ruoyi, the second will be Bai Ruoer, the third will be Bai Ruoshan, and the fourth will be Bai Ruosi."
She didn't want to think of animals when she called her child's name.
One, two, three, four, the homophones are also easy to remember, I am so talented.
Surprise flashed in the eyes of the four children.
"Mom, your name is so nice!"
"Mom, when did you become so knowledgeable?" The third child looked puzzled.
Tang Youyou knew that this guy was cautious, and showed a bitter smile: "What? Do you really think I'm a monster? You still have a big mole on your butt. You, the eldest brother, have a big mole on your chest. You, the second brother, had a fight with your second uncle's child that year, and you have a scar on your knee..."
The third brother's eyes were filled with tears, and he hugged her tightly: "Mom, please don't say anything. I was wrong. I will never doubt you again!"
Tang Youyou rubbed his hair: "Silly child, your mother died once, and you hate the people in the old house to the bone. Some things have suddenly become clear to me. I wasted so many years because your father passed away and I lost my backbone."
"Now that your eldest brother is married and has become the pillar of the family, mother will surely live well, and our family's life will surely get better."
The four boys wiped their tears, their eyes full of determination. It was great that their mother had changed into a different person, and there seemed to be hope for this family.
Tang Youyou's eyes couldn't help but turn red: "What are you all standing there for? Scoop up the rice!"
She put the Houttuynia cordata into a basin, sprinkled salt on it, and started rubbing it. There was no other seasoning, so this was the only way.
He put the kneaded Houttuynia cordata on a plate and looked at the people.
"Let's go and eat!"
After a while, he took out a steamed bun from the room and handed it to the eldest brother, and put some houttuynia cordata on the porridge: "Take it to your wife..."
Looking at the porridge in the bowl, he frowned. Is this the buckwheat porridge in his original memory?
I picked up the bowl, took a sip, and almost spit it out.
“Ahem…”
The second oldest, Bai Ruoer, asked weakly, "What's wrong, mother?"
Tang Youyou waved her hand: "It's okay!"
I took the bowl and took a bite with my eyes closed. It tasted a little bitter, and it seemed like there was bran added in it, which made my throat a little sore.
She wanted to yell: It’s disgusting, so disgusting, this meal is simply indescribable.
"Hulu hulu..." The three children drank it with great relish.
"Brother, this porridge is really thick and delicious!"
"This wild vegetable isn't bad, it goes really well with rice!"
The third brother, Bai Ruoshan, suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mom, there's a lot of this grass in the creek. Why don't we go pick some tomorrow?"
"That's great, we'll sell them and buy each of you a pair of shoes."
The children were all barefoot, their feet were pitch black.
The three children shook their heads like rattles: "No, mother, our eldest sister-in-law made straw sandals for us, but we just didn't want to wear them. We saved the money to buy food."
Tang Youyou choked up a little and put down the bowl: "These are not things you should worry about. I'm done eating. You guys should go to bed early after eating."
He stood up and went into the room, leaving the three boys with dazed looks on their faces.
"Brother, did I say something wrong? Mother seems unhappy."
Bai Ruoer shook her head: "Mom is a little tired, eat quickly!"
He picked up Tang Youyou's bowl and poured the remaining porridge to the third and fourth brothers.
"Brother, enough, enough..."
Tang Youyou, lying on the bed, turned over, the straw beneath her creaking, and she looked at the stars on the ceiling.
"The first thing to do right now is to fill my stomach first, then teach the old man a lesson, and take the children under my name and take them away with me."
[Ding ding ding! System error, newbie gift packs are being distributed...]
Tang Youyou sat up with a start.
I was complaining in my heart: How could I make a mistake? Are you complaining that the time traveler has lived too long?
[Ding! To make up for the mistake and withdraw the gift package, the host can spin the lucky wheel three times! ]
She cursed directly: "Fuck, no, tell me what the gift package is first?"
A screen appeared in front of me, with a big gift package: a box of instant noodles, a box of toilet paper, and two packs of sanitary napkins.
She complained again: "How stingy! This is all, and you want a big gift package?"
He looked at the lucky wheel, eyes widened, and swallowed his saliva. There were pills as strong as an ox, pills for giving birth to a child, pills for dragon and phoenix, pills for strange fragrance, mustard seed bags, pills for slimming, secret manuals for light kung fu, recipes, and rare herbs in the world...
Without hesitation, choose: "Turn, turn, turn!"
【Please shout start and end! 】
She clasped her hands together, bowed in several directions, and silently recited in her mind: recipe, secret manual of martial arts, mustard seed bag.
That's right, she wanted these three things the most.
"Begin...end!"
[Ding! Congratulations on receiving a fertility pill!]
Tang Youyou cursed in her heart: Is this intentional? Giving a widow a fertility pill, is it possible that he hopes she will have an affair?
