"Have you learned it?"
Yue Jiuyue asked without turning her head, her hands still moving. With one hand, she stuffed firewood under the griddle, and with the other hand, she held a rake and turned it around and around on the griddle.
"Mom, I know how! Let me try!"
Mrs. Liu was very interested in this pancake making!
"Okay, let's give it a try."
If Liu doesn't try it herself, how can she openly slack off?
After Yue Jiuyue carefully removed the pancakes she was making from the griddle and placed them on the lid, she stood up and let Liu Shi sit down to make the pancakes.
Liu was used to doing housework, and she always cooked all three meals a day. So even though it was her first time making pancakes and she was a little flustered, she still did it step by step in a very professional manner. The pancakes she made did not look like those made by someone making pancakes for the first time. They were even better than Yue Jiuyue's skills.
Yue Jiuyue nodded in satisfaction and praised:
"Your pancake stall is really good! You can keep it here, I'm going back to my room to rest. Call me if you need anything!"
After saying that, Yue Jiuyue returned to her room without any guilt, got on the kang (a heated brick bed), and crawled into bed, just as Liu Shi responded with "Okay, Mother".
The kang (heated brick bed) here usually takes up half a room. In winter, a whole family might sleep on the same kang just to save firewood.
The three Lin brothers collected a lot of firewood this year, enough for their family to heat five kang beds until next spring. Moreover, they still go out to collect firewood from time to time. Yue Jiuyue is "wasting" it without any hesitation.
No, she's burning firewood to heat the kang (heated brick bed), how can that be considered wasteful?
Although there aren't many people like her who need to heat the kang (a heated brick bed) several times during the day, she's afraid of the cold. She's the kind of person who wishes she could hibernate in a warm quilt during the winter. So what's wrong with heating the kang a few more times?
Yue Jiuyue confidently lit a fire in the stove, then went inside—closed the door—took off her shoes—and climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed), curling herself up like a silkworm cocoon.
Winter is so cold!
As the bed gradually warmed up, Yue Jiuyue couldn't resist and fell asleep without even bothering to fight back.
When I woke up, it wasn't because I woke up naturally, but because I was woken up by the chattering of the fourth brother and the little girl in the yard.
"Little Big Big, ah—"
Little Man'er watched Lin Chaobei eat pancakes and was very tempted. She opened her mouth wide, wanting to take a bite.
Lin Chaobei indeed held his pancake to Xiaoman'er's lips, and Xiaoman'er happily took a bite, and then...
They bit at nothing.
"Waaaaah, Daddy, my little brother won't give me any pancakes!"
Lin Chaodong looked at his fourth brother, who was still like a child who had never grown up, and then at Xiaoman'er, whose crying made his heart ache. He then turned his guns on Lin Chaobei without any hesitation.
"Fourth brother! How old are you! How can you still bully a young girl! You have no respect for elders! You're almost twenty years old, and you still don't act like an elder!"
After scolding Lin Chaobei, Lin Chaodong picked up Xiaoman'er and gently coaxed her:
"Good girl, don't stoop to my level. Here, let Daddy roll up a pancake for you."
As he spoke, he picked up Xiaoman'er and went to find Liu, who was making pancakes.
"Man'er's mother, quickly make a pancake for our little Man'er."
Liu had naturally heard about the lawsuit between the uncle and nephew. She used to have a lot of complaints about her immature brother-in-law, Lin Chaobei, but now that life was better, those complaints disappeared. She felt more open-minded and elevated.
