By the time Bai Yunqi finished showering and came out, it was already quite dark.
Except for Da Mao, who is still feverish and unconscious.
The Bai family, young and old, gathered in the courtyard, all looking at the wild vegetable pancakes that had been served.
"You three children can eat these three boiled eggs first."
Jiang Dai took three eggs out of her pocket and placed them on the wooden table.
Juanjuan looked at her mother, as if asking: When was it cooked?
Jiang Dai: "Ahem, when you were boiling water for your older brother's bath, I boiled it for you."
To avoid Juanjuan sharing the eggs with her, Jiang Dai explained first, "Mother really doesn't eat eggs, you guys eat them!"
I hate boiled eggs the most. When I was in school, I felt like throwing up just looking at them.
I can eat instant noodles with a poached egg, but why are there instant noodles here?
Jiang Dai took a vicious bite of the wild vegetable pancake, slowly trying to comfort herself.
[It's alright, just consider it a way to remember the hardships of the past and pay tribute to the Red Army soldiers. They climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands, eating tree bark and grass roots! What's wrong with having a piece of this flatbread!]
As Juanjuan ate her boiled egg in small bites, listening to her mother's words, she felt that she was no longer suffering.
You know, according to the old women in the village, there was a disaster here more than ten years ago. There was no harvest and many people starved to death!
They ate grass roots, tree bark, and even some insects.
Juanjuan suddenly felt that she and her mother were closer.
Finally, I found common ground in my mother's unfamiliar words.
"I don't know if Da Mao can pull through."
Bai Tian ate the pancake in a few bites and then prepared to go inside to check on his second son, who still had a fever.
“When you went out to look for your older brother, he woke up once, drank some water, and seemed to be much better.”
Yun An chewed on the boiled egg in his mouth and took the opportunity to report the situation of his twin brother in this body to his family.
Speaking of which, his twin brother, Da Mao, also had a tough time.
How could a fever last for so long?
Aren't they afraid of actually burning their brains out?
After finishing the wild vegetable pancakes, Juanjuan went to prepare medicine for her second brother, who was still running a fever.
It wasn't the Bai family who enslaved Juanjuan.
Instead, Juanjuan was not comfortable letting her parents and brother near the stove.
There's a very high chance they blew up the kitchen.
My father had already blown up the kitchen.
Mother really doesn't know how, Mother herself said to herself.
My older brother once whispered that he used to be a god who didn't eat, so how could he possibly go into the kitchen?
Besides... Big Brother just fell into a cesspool, so it's better for him to rest and not overwork himself.
Although her third brother had been secretly helping her, she didn't need to trouble him with cooking.
Juanjuan was busy at the stove. The pot was too high, so she had to stand on a specially made simple stool.
Although Jiang Dai couldn't help, she stayed by Juanjuan's side the whole time, watching the four-year-old child operate the equipment skillfully.
[Juanjuan is so capable! In modern times, a four-year-old would probably still be playing with this!]
We need to hurry up and work harder, otherwise it feels really guilty to make a child do chores. This isn't the way to just let things fall apart!
Juanjuan listened to her mother's heartfelt words.
The child did not feel that the work was hard or that he was wronged.
She felt that her value had finally been recognized, a child who was disliked by her father from birth, disliked by her mother, and bullied by her brother.
At the age of four, I really longed to receive a word of praise from my family.
Just as the herbal medicine was ready to be served, Jiang Dai immediately stepped in.
"Come here, Juanjuan, let Mom take it."
"Come on, finally someone I can do this! You have to let me do it, otherwise I'll really feel embarrassed."
Juanjuan listened to her mother and didn't argue with her about who should bring the medicine.
She simply looked at her mother and said with a slight smile, "Okay."
