The three brothers heard the conversation between Si Ni'er and Xia Manni. Especially the eldest brother, who could probably guess what Si Ni'er was thinking and what his mother was thinking, could only secretly resolve to help his mother bear more responsibilities in the future.
"Okay, let's get back to work and clean up the meat." Xia Manni interrupted this tender moment at the right time. She was a person who was allergic to romance, so she was not very used to such occasions.
The Xia family of five began to pack up the rabbit meat and fox meat at home.
Erwa was lighting the fire while Xia Manni cooked the rabbit meat. Dawa was preparing the remaining smoked rabbit meat, while Sanwa and Sinier were building a nest for the rabbits using the method Xia Manni had taught them.
The rabbit nest is not placed too close to the chicken coop. Recently, their chickens can lay one egg a day, which can be regarded as the most precious species in their family.
In this way, Xia Manni was busy and sweating, and the slight discomfort in her heart had long disappeared.
The four children finally felt relieved when they saw Xia Manni like this.
"Mom, do I need to buy a jar of wine to give to Doctor Sun as a gift for becoming his apprentice?" Da Wa thought of what his grandfather had said about becoming an apprentice, and discussed it with Xia Manni.
Xia Manni looked at Da Wa in surprise. Da Wa was becoming more and more sensible and started to think about these things.
Since she came to the Xia family, Da Wa has always been the one who takes the least worry, but at that time, Da Wa was more like an executor of orders. Basically, Da Wa would do things only if she told him to. But now Da Wa actually took the initiative to consider the family. How could she not be relieved?
She guessed that it might be related to her recent illness.
"Go ahead, Big Boy. The money is in the box under my bed." Xia Manni's smile was too gentle, and even the gentle Big Boy felt embarrassed.
On this side, Xia Manni served out a large bowl of rabbit meat, then took out a whole rabbit and the wine that Da Wa had just poured, and took Da Wa and Sini'er to find Doctor Sun.
Regarding the question of whether to take care of the eldest child, Xia Manni hesitated for a moment.
Xia Manni thought that Da Wa was the eldest child in the family, so it was always a good idea for him to see more of the world. Furthermore, since her own sister had a master, she should go visit him.
As for the second and third children in the family, Xia Manni specifically told the second child before going out that the meat must be eaten after they come back.
Although Erwa was a little reluctant, he still nodded obediently.
The third child was a little upset that Xia Manni took the eldest child with her but not him, but he was obedient and didn't say anything.
"Second brother, mother told me to watch you and you are not allowed to eat secretly." Sanwa looked at Xia Manni and the others who had already walked away, then he put his hands on his hips and started to act arrogantly towards Erwa.
"You little bastard, when did your mother tell you to look after me?" Erwa patted Sanwa on the back. He knew that Sanwa was deliberately playing tricks on him.
"Mom said I'm not allowed to eat beforehand. Wasn't that you she was talking about? When have you ever seen me eat beforehand?" Sanwa thought to himself. Although his mother didn't take him to Doctor Sun's house, she gave him a more difficult task.
That means he has to keep an eye on his second brother. He has to keep a close eye on his second brother, who is a foodie.
Erwa rolled his eyes at Sanwa speechlessly. He was too lazy to pay attention to Sanwa. It was obvious that his mother thought Sanwa was a nuisance and asked him to stay at home and look after him.
Both children felt that they were the ones trusted by Xia Manni, so the rabbit meat in the pot was well preserved.
Things went smoothly on Xia Manni's side. Xia Manni took Si Ni'er and Da Wa to pay their respects to Doctor Sun, and also gave him roasted rabbit meat, a rabbit, and two jars of wine.
"Okay, okay, okay. I have an apprentice now. Si Ni'er, you should come for half a day every day from now on. When you are older, you can come for a full day."
Si Ni'er naturally had no objection. Just as they were about to leave, Doctor Sun grabbed Xia Manni and said, "You are truly blessed. Si Ni'er knelt down and begged me yesterday. You should take care of yourself and look after the children."
Xia Manni didn't know that kneeling was such a thing. She thanked Doctor Sun respectfully and didn't tell Si Ni'er about it.
It's enough to keep some touching feelings in her heart. In the future, she must treat Si Ni'er and the three boys well. She thinks this may be the blessing of her time travel.
Although there is no wealth, no life as a young lady, a bunch of children and a lot of hardships to endure, this kind of life is actually the most heartwarming.
When the three of them returned to the Xia family's yard, they saw Erwa and Sanwa sitting face to face staring at each other, while Potato was circling around the stove.
"We're back. What are you two doing?" Xia Manni thought the two brothers were really funny and had so much fun every day.
"Hey, mom, you're back. I kept an eye on my second brother and he didn't eat anything secretly." Sanwa first jumped in front of Xia Manni and opened his arms to let Xia Manni hug him.
The eldest child was quick to pick up the third child.
"Mom, I've kept an eye on this naughty Third Boy for you." Second Boy also ran to Xia Manni to complain in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, you are all my good children. Good children, can we eat now?"
"Okay, it's time to eat." Erwa ran to the stove first, looking like he was about to open the lid of the pot.
"Mom, Sanwa is starving. Let's eat quickly."
Xia Manni was almost starving. Today had been a truly miserable day. Not only had she gone to pick up rabbit meat, but she had also encountered annoying swallows by the river, and then had a heart attack.
She now urgently needs delicious meat to soothe her wounded heart.
Although Xia Manni isn't very good at stir-frying, she's pretty good at cooking meat, mainly because she loved eating meat when she was little. Since her grandparents have been getting older, she's been the one cooking all the meat in the house.
She was reluctant to waste anything, so she made it very carefully every time. After making it a lot, her work was almost the same as that of ordinary people.
She was eating rabbit meat. Maybe it was because she hadn't eaten stewed meat for a long time, but she felt that her stewing skills had improved a lot.
Xia Manni never asked her children to 'not talk while eating or sleeping', so the Xia family's dinner table was usually filled with laughter.
But this time, no one spoke. Everyone picked up the meat with their chopsticks. Even Si Ni'er ate seven or eight pieces of meat. Not to mention Er Wa, a great eater. Of the full pot of meat, only a small bowl was left.
Xia Manni looked at the last bowl of meat and was extremely grateful for her foresight. If she hadn't caught the rabbits, they would have been eaten up in a few days.
"Tell me, what were you doing at the door today?" Xia Manni thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what they were doing sneakily at the door, but her intuition told her that something must be wrong with the kids.
