Liu Anran looked up at the mountain and saw a small bamboo grove halfway up the mountain. Her eyes lit up immediately. The bamboo shoots were sweet, crisp, and refreshing. They were her favorite kind of bamboo shoots.
Liu Anran stood up and walked briskly towards the bamboo forest. When she climbed halfway up the mountain, she was pleasantly surprised to see the straight bamboo stalks and the bamboo shoots sprouting from the ground at the base of the bamboo. There were more of them than she had imagined, some tall and some short, some big and some small. It was a delightful sight, and she smiled happily!
Liu Anran happily broke off bamboo shoots and threw them into her space. After finding all the bamboo shoots in this grove, she took out a hoe and dug up more than a dozen sturdy bamboos, transplanting them into her space so that she would have an endless supply of bamboo shoots to eat in the future.
Liu Anran entered the space and saw Yunlong standing by the pile of bamboo shoots. She walked over to Yunlong with a big smile and looked at the pile of bamboo shoots, which weighed about twenty pounds.
Yunlong turned to look at Liu Anran and asked curiously, "Mom, can we eat this?"
"These are wild bamboo shoots. They have a sweet and refreshing taste, and they taste amazing. They can be used to make many dishes, such as stir-fried bamboo shoots with pickled cabbage, stewed bamboo shoots with preserved mustard greens, bamboo shoots with minced meat, stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork belly, and stir-fried bamboo shoots with cured pork," Liu Anran said with a smile.
Yunlong listened to Liu Anran rattle off a long list of dishes and asked with delight, "They sound delicious! When are we going to make bamboo shoots?"
"I'm busy today. I need to plant the bamboo and slaughter the dead goat. Tomorrow I'll make a dish of stir-fried pork belly with bamboo shoots so you can have a good taste," Liu Anran said.
Liu Anran walked to the crib and saw the triplets lying on the bed, not crying or making a fuss. She asked in surprise, "Yunlong, why are Chu Zhe and the others so well-behaved today? They're not making any noise at all."
"Mom, I've already changed my brother and sister's diapers, and I've also mixed their formula with spring water and boiled water, so of course they won't cry," Yunlong explained.
Liu Anran looked at Yunlong in surprise, "You actually know how to change diapers and make formula for Chu Chen and the others."
She always thought Yunlong was too young, only five years old, and hadn't taught him how to take care of children. Unexpectedly, he learned it just by watching.
"Mom, when changing diapers, be gentle so as not to hurt your little brother and sister. When making formula, the temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will burn them. I touched the formula you made, and it was only a little warm. I learned this by watching you make it."
Yunlong didn't want Liu Anran to be too tired, so he helped take care of the triplets, which would relieve Liu Anran of her burden.
Liu An bent down, picked up Yunlong, and kissed Yunlong's forehead. "Yunlong, you are still a child. Your younger brother and sister are taken care of by their mother. You just need to cultivate the Concentration Technique, train your special abilities, and play in the space every day, and that will be enough."
"Mom, I'm healthy and strong, I'm not tired at all," Yunlong said with a smile.
Liu Anran sighed. Yunlong was such a sensible child that it broke her heart. She decided to take Yunlong out of the space tomorrow to get some fresh air and relax.
Liu Anran put Yunlong on the ground and asked with a smile, "Do you want to help Mom peel the bamboo shoots?"
"Yes!" Yunlong said.
Yunlong was very happy to be able to help Liu Anran with her work.
Liu Anran brought over a sieve and taught Yunlong how to peel bamboo shoots, then went to do her own thing.
Liu dug a pit and planted the bamboo in the place furthest from where he ate and lived, in a row with the pine trees. He then watered it and came to Yunlong's side. He saw that Yunlong was still peeling bamboo shoots, so he took the bamboo shoots from Yunlong's hand, put them aside, and helped him up.
Yunlong looked at Liu Anran in confusion, "Mom, there are still so many bamboo shoots that haven't been peeled."
Liu Anran said, "The bamboo shoots are fine to leave, and you can peel them slowly. But if you keep peeling them, your fingers will hurt. If you have nothing to do, you can use your tablet to watch cartoons or play games."
Yunlong happily went to watch cartoons after hearing Liu Anran's words.
Liu Anran smiled as she looked at Yunlong's cheerful expression.
After preparing to leave the Chu family, she worried that Yunlong would be too bored staying in the space, so she asked Qin Ruixu to get her two generators and also asked Qin Ruixu to record a lot of cartoons and educational games. Now it seems that she made the right decision.
Liu Anran placed the peeled bamboo shoots on the table, walked closer to the four goats, and saw that the black goat was still alive. A look of surprise appeared on her face. She hadn't expected that this black goat would be so resilient.
Reaching out, he pulled the sharp blade from the black goat's rump. Fresh blood gushed from the wound like a jet of water, and the black goat bleated in pain.
Seeing the black goat's miserable state, Liu Anran kicked it. She originally wanted to spare its life so that it could reproduce and have an endless supply of mutton. But who knew it would try to escape and kill itself.
Liu Anran brought a basin and a sharp knife. She placed the basin on the ground, lifted the black goat by the neck with one hand, and held the sharp knife with the other. She stabbed the black goat in the neck, pushing the blade into the goat's neck. The blade went straight into the goat's neck, and then she pulled it out. The black goat's blood gushed out like a dragon's head.
Liu Anran caught the sheep's blood in a basin. When Yunlong turned his head, he saw Liu Anran slaughtering the sheep. She looked extremely fierce, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Mom can do everything, it seems like it doesn't matter whether Dad is there or not!
Seeing that the black goat had bled out, Liu Anran threw it on the ground. The black goat twitched a few times and then died.
