"Your father is right. It's just a bowl of medicine. It's no big deal. We have sugar at home. I'll feed it to you after you finish the medicine. I guarantee that the bitter taste in your mouth will turn into sweetness in an instant."
After Su Miaomiao finished speaking, Xiao Yunfei said while holding the medicine.
"Dad drinks first, you guys watch carefully."
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of medicine for his back injury, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, he held the bowl and showed it to the children.
"Not a drop left. Daddy can do it, and you can do it too. Daddy believes in you."
After Xiao Yunfei finished speaking, a spoonful of sugar was already fed into his mouth.
He hurriedly held the spoon in his mouth, and the sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he met Su Miaomiao's loving eyes.
"You eat candy too." Su Miaomiao's voice was also sweet.
Xiao Yunfei couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He felt that Su Miaomiao was treating him like a child.
He felt a little embarrassed to eat candy at his age, and smiled foolishly.
"I'm already a grown man. This little bit of suffering is nothing to me. I don't need to eat candy."
"Anyone can eat candy, no matter how old they are. There's no need to keep a bitter taste in their mouth. We have the means at home, so we can eat as much as we want. If we run out, I'll buy more."
Anyone of any age can eat candy.
The deeper meaning of this statement is that no matter how old a person is, they can be loved.
Because someone cares and loves them, the person who is loved can always be like a child.
It feels good to know someone cares.
Xiao Yunfei looked at Su Miaomiao with love in his eyes.
He felt that he loved Su Miaomiao more and more.
"Ahem." Zhang Xing suddenly coughed twice and said, "That's enough. You two can do that later. Let's get the child to take his medicine first."
Xiao Yunfei lowered his eyes and smiled, then spoke to the children.
"Daddy has finished his medicine. It's your turn now. Who will go first?"
The four younger brothers were still preparing themselves mentally, and the eldest sister Xiao Jing directly picked up the bowl of medicine and said.
"I'll go first!"
As she spoke, she picked up the bowl and drank the medicine. Halfway through, she retched and paused before continuing to drink.
After she finished drinking, her eldest brother Xiao Zhong also picked up the medicine and drank it in one gulp.
After dad and his older brothers and sisters finished drinking their medicine, the three younger brothers were encouraged and followed suit and drank up their own medicine.
Su Miaomiao watched the children drink their medicine. Whichever child finished first, she would immediately feed the candy into the child's mouth.
After the children finished drinking the medicine, she brought Xiao Yunfei and Zhang Xing to applaud the children.
"Great, great, you are worthy of being my daughter and son. You are all so amazing. The five of you are my pride."
The children finished their medicine.
Xiao Yong picked up the only remaining bowl of medicine and walked towards Su Miaomiao.
"Mom, it's time for you to take your medicine, and you haven't taken it yet."
Su Miaomiao has had difficulty taking medicine since she was a child. She gets worried at the thought of taking medicine, especially the black Chinese medicine, which makes her want to vomit when she smells it.
She had to drink such a big bowl of medicine several times.
She had planned to take the medicine into the house and drink it secretly when the children weren't paying attention, but the children didn't give her a chance.
In order to set a good example for the children, she took the bowl of medicine, overcame her inner resistance, pinched her nose and drank it in one gulp.
She drank so much that tears came to her eyes.
These were purely physiological tears, and she couldn't hold them back even if she wanted to.
She didn't want the children to see it and was thinking about how to cover it up.
At this moment, she had just finished drinking when Xiao Yunfei took the bowl and put it on the table, and waved his hand to drive the children out.
"Okay, your mother has finished her medicine. Go wash your hands and get ready for breakfast."
Soon the children and Zhang Xing went out.
Xiao Yunfei looked at her and said with heartache.
"If you can't finish it in one gulp, just drink it in several sips. Why push yourself?"
"I just want to be a good role model for the children. They are so brave at such a young age, and I don't want them to look down on me."
"It's okay." Xiao Yunfei naturally wiped the medicine stains from the corners of her mouth and asked gently, "Is it still bitter? Do you want another bite of candy?"
At this moment, Su Miaomiao still felt a little bitter in her mouth, but her heart was very sweet.
She nodded and said, "Yes."
"good."
Xiao Yunfei responded, poured a small spoonful of sugar into Su Miaomiao's mouth and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Okay, it's not bitter anymore."
Ten minutes later, the whole family gathered together and had a delicious breakfast.
After dinner, Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei drove to the river to take a look.
They parked the car far away on the meadow and walked towards the river hand in hand.
On the way, Xiao Yunfei asked.
"I've been wanting to ask you, why did you go to the river anyway when you weren't letting us catch any fish?"
Su Miaomiao said as a matter of course.
"Because besides fish, there are many other edible things in the river. I used to see others going to the sea to catch shrimps, crabs, conchs, cat's eye snails, and all kinds of seafood. I envied them so much. Now I finally have the chance to catch them myself, so of course I want to come here and try my luck."
"I've never heard of or seen anything you mentioned. Are you sure there are such things in the river?"
"I think there should be. I don't know either. We'll find out after a while. I don't think you haven't seen it before. Maybe you've seen it but don't know what it's called or whether it's edible."
This is really possible.
Before, he didn't know that there were so many medicinal herbs, edible wild vegetables and fungi on the mountain. It was Su Miaomiao who told him that he knew about it.
Xiao Yunfei nodded and said.
"Maybe it's what you said."
As they walked, they came across a puddle.
This puddle is about one or two hundred meters away from the river.
The puddle is not big, about seven or eight meters long and four or five meters wide.
As Su Miaomiao pulled Xiao Yunfei over, they saw some living creatures swimming in the water.
She suddenly became excited and quickened her pace to get a closer look.
Xiao Yunfei was startled by her sudden action and spoke quickly.
"Be careful!"
"Oh, I see."
Su Miaomiao responded casually.
She walked to the edge of the puddle, where the water was crystal clear.
She squatted down to look at what was in the water, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Oh my god, so many crayfish!
Soon she denied herself in her heart.
No, no, no, this is not crayfish, it is crayfish, also known as Northeast black crayfish.
This thing is a close relative of crayfish and looks very similar. The difference is that the shell of crayfish is mostly dark red or black-brown, while the shell of crayfish is mostly bluish-brown.
In addition to slight differences in appearance, they have different requirements for water quality. Crayfish have very high requirements for water quality and can only survive in clear, unpolluted waters.
The most important thing is that there were no crayfish in that era. Crayfish are an alien species introduced from North America, while crayfish are a native species in Northeast China.
At this moment, Su Miaomiao excitedly pointed it out to Xiao Yunfei.
"Husband, look!"
Xiao Yunfei came over and took a closer look.
They are densely packed, each one is small and ugly.
He couldn't help but frown as he watched.
He thought of what Su Miaomiao had said before and asked a little uncertainly.
"Is this insect edible?"
