Looking at the old lady, Yue Jiabao, and Qin Shi, who were only slightly thin, Yue Jiuyue knew that this family was definitely not hungry.
Of course, they didn't eat very well either, at least not like their family, who could only fill their stomachs with water even though they ate wild vegetables every day.
So just take that with a grain of salt. After all, sweet potato leaves aren't much tastier than wild vegetables. If you take it seriously, be careful they don't come after you after they've tasted them.
The old lady and her companions left satisfied with the two baskets of sweet potato seedlings.
Seeing this, Lin Chaodong and the others also carried baskets, picked up hoes and sickles, and went out.
They found nothing yesterday, but dug up two baskets of wild vegetables to take home, some for their own family to eat, and some to feed the rabbits and chickens.
Today, although it was getting late, the three brothers still planned to go up the mountain again, just in case their luck changed.
At this moment, Madam Liu was in a good mood and everything seemed pleasing to the eye. After seeing off her husband and two younger brothers-in-law, she approached Yue Jiuyue for the first time and asked solicitously:
"Mother, last night (yesterday) Xiaoman's father and the others dug up a lot of wild vegetables. Shall we make wild vegetable dumplings for lunch? Or wild vegetable steamed buns?"
Since her mother-in-law hadn't given away all her belongings to her maternal grandmother's family, Liu thought she should do something nice to reward everyone, and most importantly, to show filial piety to her mother-in-law, hoping she would continue to do so in the future.
"Okay, okay, you can handle the cooking yourself."
Since they're all wild vegetables, no matter how many different ways you prepare them, they're still wild vegetables. If you're reluctant to add oil, salt, or flour, they won't taste much better.
"Alright, then I'll make wild vegetable steamed buns. Add some flour, they'll definitely taste good!"
After Liu finished speaking, she happily went to make preparations. Even her daughter Xiaoman was not with her as usual, and she just stared at Yue Jiuyue in the main room.
"Grandma, let's go out and play."
The little girl wasn't afraid of Yue Jiuyue, her grandmother who had once threatened to "sell her." With her innocent big eyes, she grabbed Yue Jiuyue's hand and pulled her outside.
She was curious about the world outside her home, and even though she went out every day, she could never get enough of it.
Yue Jiuyue's rough, large hand was pulled by Xiaoman's soft, tender hand. She was stunned for a moment, but she still stood up.
"Xiaoman, splash some water first, then we'll go out."
The weather is dry now, and you get thirsty after just a short time outside. The children get so engrossed in playing that they don't care about anything else, and at this time, all we have are bamboo tubes, which can't hold much water.
Moreover, Yue Jiuyue's habit of drinking water and relieving herself before going out are habits she has developed over many years.
"good."
Xiaoman agreed softly and sweetly, and then sat and waited for Yue Jiuyue to feed her water.
Seeing the dark, chapped, and thin Xiaoman sitting so obediently waiting, Yue Jiuyue thought the child was quite cute.
He poured half a bowl of water, placed the unbroken part of it near Xiaoman's mouth, and watched as her little mouth pursed up and she drank the water from the bowl little by little. Then he couldn't wait to pull Yue Jiuyue outside.
This was Yue Jiuyue's first time taking care of a child, both in her past and present lives. Because the child was so small, she couldn't walk normally and had to bend over slightly to avoid hurting Xiaoman's arm.
"Grandma, mud."
Xiaoman didn't go far or to crowded places. Instead, she and Yue Jiuyue stayed by the lake in front of their house, each taking a stick and digging holes together.
