Chapter 105 Rice Noodles
After Li Juhong got married, it was August 15th, and everyone still celebrated it at the educated youth center.
It’s just not as lively as in previous years, but it’s okay.
After August 15th, Qingqing and Ningning have been together for five months, and their standby time has also been much longer.
And now these two children have unlocked a new skill, which is biting their fingers and toes.
The weather is warm now, and Li Ruolan usually just puts a bellyband on the two children and puts them on the kang, and the two children are like running around happily.
Ningning likes to chew her toes the most. She likes to hold her toes and chew them at any time. Usually, Li Ruolan and Wang Xiaoni will help her take her toes away when they see her doing so.
But as soon as he stopped looking at her, she quickly put her toes in her mouth again.
Qingqing, the younger brother, is not as unrestrained as his sister. He doesn't eat toes, but only hands.
He was sucking his fist so hard that he wanted to stuff the entire fist into his mouth.
When Deng Minghao came back and saw his daughter and son, one of them was holding her feet and chewing them so sweetly, while the other one opened his mouth wide and wanted to put his fist in it. He was so shocked.
"Are these two children going to mutate?"
Li Ruolan glared at Deng Minghao and said, "If it mutated, it should bite you. How could it bite itself?"
Deng Minghao chuckled twice: "Doesn't it hurt for them?"
"Although they are small, they are not stupid. How can they not know whether it hurts or not?"
After washing his hands, Deng Minghao got on the kang and went to play with the children.
First he rescued Ningning's feet from her mouth, and then he took Qingqing's hand out.
After going back and forth several times, Ningning, who has a bad temper, faced red and burst into tears.
Qingqing didn't cry, but when he heard Ningning crying so sadly, he also started crying.
Deng Minghao looked back at Li Ruolan cautiously, and then saw that Li Ruolan had a dark face and was looking at her with her hands on her waist.
He was not tall, but he looked like an eight-meter-one man. Deng Minghao quickly tried to please him and started to coax the child while holding him.
The two children were considerate enough and stopped crying after Deng Minghao coaxed them for a while.
Li Ruolan kicked Deng Minghao on the butt: "Tell me if you owe it or not."
After dinner and putting the two children to sleep, Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao took the children into the space.
Since having a child, they rarely sleep outside. Sleeping in a space is neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer, and they are not worried about the child getting sick.
"We have to make more rice noodles today." Li Ruolan said.
The milk powder had been finished long ago, but Li Ruolan's milk was plenty at the beginning. If she drank more soup on weekdays, it was enough to feed two children.
But now the child is growing older and has a bigger appetite, so Li Ruolan’s milk is not enough for the child.
So starting from this month, Li Ruolan plans to make some rice noodles to add to her child's food supplement.
Rice noodles are easy to make. Wash the rice and soak it for six hours. Then put it on a sieve and dry it in the sun for six hours.
Fry over medium heat until slightly golden, then pour out the rice and let it cool, then grind it into powder and eat it directly. Use hot water to brew it.
Li Ruolan soaked the rice this morning and then took it out to dry. Now all she has to do is fry it and then grind it into powder.
The next day, Qingqing and Ningning ate the rice noodles. They had no taste at all, but they had a rice aroma. Both children liked them very much.
When they wake up in the morning, they eat a bowl of rice noodles, which can sustain them for three or four hours. After that, they have a bowl of milk. When they wake up and feel hungry, they eat another bowl of rice noodles. They only eat two meals a day.
With this and Li Ruolan's milk, there is enough food for both children.
They started by feeding them pure rice noodles. After six months, you could add a little pumpkin and fish, but still without adding salt. The two children were not picky eaters and would eat whatever you gave them.
"Since they can all eat rice, can we also make egg custard for them?" Wang Xiaoni asked curiously when she saw that Li Ruolan only gave them rice noodles and no eggs.
Li Ruolan just shook her head: "Let's wait until they are a little older before eating eggs."
I heard that eating eggs when children are too young can easily lead to allergies. Li Ruolan thought that it would be better to wait a few more months before giving Qingqing and Ningning some more eggs.
By mid-September, Qingqing and Ningning had mastered a new posture: they could sit.
The weather turned cooler in September, and the two children put on thicker clothes. With the support of the clothes, Qingqing and Ningning could sit against the wall for a while.
Mingzhu, the daughter of Guo Xiaoya, is only a few days younger than Ningning and the others. After Qingqing and Ningning were able to sit steadily, Mingzhu could also sit for a while.
When the weather turned cold, Li Ruolan and her friends no longer sat outside to bask in the sun, but played inside.
Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua were busy with exams and had no time to come and play with them during this period.
Now that the school has been built, Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua have been studying for so long and can finally relax for a while. They come to talk to Li Ruolan and the others.
Xia Zhen had no interest in being a teacher. Ever since she married Liu Kunming, Liu Kunming asked her to collect grass for pigs.
Two baskets of pig grass a day doesn't make me tired at all.
"The school has been built, but it's also the autumn harvest time. If we want to select teachers, we will probably do so after the autumn harvest," said Zhou Shengnan.
Deng Minghao said the same thing a few days ago. Li Ruolan nodded and then talked about other things.
"You are married now. Will you get pregnant as soon as you become a teacher? How can you handle being a teacher and taking care of a child at the same time?" Li Ruolan said.
Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua looked at each other, both of them a little embarrassed. Zhou Shengnan said, "I discussed this with Ji Hongjun privately, and he said that we can have no children for the next two years."
Zheng Fanghua also nodded: “Well, Shen Yi said so too.”
Li Ruolan smiled and said, "So that's how it is. Just discuss it. I'm just worried that you'll get pregnant and have a baby right after you become a teacher."
After that, Li Ruolan fell silent again. Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun both said that they didn't want children within two years.
So does that mean they will take Zheng Fanghua and Zhou Shengnan back to resume their jobs two years later?
Life in the countryside was indeed hard, and Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun usually had to go hunting to supplement the cowshed.
It’s really hard to have a baby in the countryside without money or anything.
This is a good thing. If Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua go with the army and raise their children in the army, it will be much better than in the countryside.
After asking them both, Qin Wan looked at Xia Zhen with a smile: "What about you two? When are you two going to have a baby?"
Xia Zhen said embarrassedly: "My parents asked us to wait two years, saying that I am still young and should wait until I am older before having a baby.
And my parents also said that in a year or two, they would find two jobs for me and Brother Liu, and then let us go back to the city. "
