Chapter 23 Chapter 023 Small stone mill, big power.
Humming a discordant tune softly and watching her daughter's fast and steady breathing, Xie Yaer's beautiful face unconsciously showed a gentle smile. She thought that her daughter was said to be a child prodigy, but now wasn't she still like a child?
A five-year-old child still sleeps a lot and doesn't even have time to check the things sent by his fairy friend from heaven. He really has the mentality of a child. No wonder it makes people so worried.
Qin Yu on the side had carefully placed all of his daughter's things on the table. The bedroom that belonged to Qin Yu was actually Xie Yaer's. Except for her mother, no one else, including her sister-in-law and the children in the family, would come in without permission. Therefore, Qin Yu placed these things on the table on the wall opposite the bed. However, he could see some straight-beam plows and some curved ones among these things, which made Qin Yu a little confused.
After finishing all this, Qin Yu went to check the silver charcoal on the ground. In order to let his wife and daughter sleep well at night, Qin Yu always had to get up several times to check the charcoal fire. If it was cold, he would add more charcoal.
Although the Qin family has a lot of charcoal now, it’s okay for the women to use it when they are together during the day. At night, the other members of the Qin family are reluctant to use the charcoal, so the whole family huddles together. But even so, it won’t be very cold.
After doing all this, Qin Yu walked to the bedside, looked down and saw his daughter who had fallen asleep, and couldn't help laughing.
Xie Yaer placed her daughter on the inside of the bed, then stood up. Qin Yu supported her, and the two of them came to the table and carefully looked at the things on the table. Xie Yaer read a lot of books, including books about agriculture, so she recognized that most of the things on the table should be related to farming, and they were made into miniature versions, which was quite creative.
"These items cannot be seen by others, understand?"
She raised her eyes and told the man in front of her that Qin Yu was just an illiterate farmer. Apart from his handsome face, he was only a little smart and had nothing in common with Xie Yaer.
"Well, I'll listen to you, my wife." His eyes gently drifted across Xie Yaer's cheek and hair before he added, "We've had some meat at home lately. Eat more. My mother said that eating more meat is good for women's health."
Xie Yaer had long been accustomed to men's clumsy concern and nodded.
"Go to sleep. I'll help my daughter make the millstone tomorrow."
Qin Yu helped her to the bed to sleep. Qin Yu slept next to the bed of the mother and daughter. Since Qin Yuan was born, he and Xie Yaer had never thought of having another child. They were afraid that they would only have this one daughter in this life.
But Qin Yu cherishes all of this. He loves his wife and his daughter. Every time his daughter calls him dad in a loving way, his heart melts.
And his wife... He likes her and is a little afraid of her, but he will protect her well.
She slept until dawn. The chill in the early morning always made it difficult to get out of bed. However, perhaps because she was thinking about something, Qin Yuan woke up very early. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her beautiful mother beside her. To be honest, she felt that if Xie Yaer were in ancient times, she would definitely be a big star!
This kind of makeup-free look, like the beauty of a lotus emerging from the water, is unforgettable.
After being stared at by her daughter for a while, Xie Yaer opened her eyes, leaned over and gently rubbed her daughter's little nose.
"Yoyo, you're awake? Do you want to get up? It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
She kissed her daughter's forehead again, something she would never do before.
Qin Yuan also leaned over, left a sticky kiss on her mother's face, and then held her beautiful mother's face.
"Get up! Mommy is so beautiful! I love her so much!"
These words made Xie Yaer laugh uncontrollably. Qin Yu, who was standing beside her, had already woken up. Listening to the mother and daughter talking, she also stood up with a smile in her eyes.
Xie Yaer was still lying there. Qin Yuan, wearing only her undershirt, stretched out her hand towards her father.
"Daddy! Hold me! Mom, you rest for a while, I'll let Daddy dress me! Mom, go back to sleep!"
Qin Yu, who was called by her daughter, also came over, picked up her daughter from the quilt, held her in her arms skillfully, and received a sweet kiss from her daughter.
"Good morning, Daddy!"
When Qin Yuan was held by her father, she leaned over and bit his chin. Only after she was sure that his chin was smooth did she feel happy.
Before, Qin Yu had a beard, which pricked Qin Yuan and made her cry. Later, Qin Yuan refused to let him hug her for several days. Since then, the men in the family have been shaving diligently in order to avoid being disliked by Qin Yuan.
"Yoyo good morning."
He held his daughter in his arms and skillfully began to dress her. Xie Yaer, who was lying there, was still a little confused. Such a thing would definitely not be allowed in the past, but the Qin family had no maids or old women, and Qin Yu was willing to lower his head to wash his wife and daughter's feet, so Xie Yaer was relieved. However, when these men held children, there was always someone watching them.
Qin Yuan put on the rabbit fur satin jacket in a short while, and even put a cute little hat on her head. She sat on the edge of the bed and watched her father squatting on the ground to put on her shoes and socks. Qin Yuan gently shook her calves and began to make requests to her father.
"Dad, can you take me to see Grandpa later? And my uncles, and my little stone mill too!!!"
She couldn't wait to ask her family to make a stone mill. Fortunately, after following her grandmother in the kitchen for many days, Qin Yuan was sure that the use of iron was already widespread in this world and was not completely controlled by the government. Her grandmother's kitchen knife was made of iron, and the hoe at home was also made of iron.
"Okay, Dad will take you there right away, don't worry." Qin Yu coaxed his daughter softly. After putting on the deerskin boots for Qin Yuan, he picked her up and looked at his wife who was still sleeping.
"My dear, please continue to rest. I will take Youyou to find your parents."
Xie Yaer just nodded and turned around to continue resting.
Qin Yu carried Qin Yuan to the table and took the small stone mill for his daughter. Qin Yuan's eyes lit up.
The father and daughter left the room immediately. Qin Yu closed the door outside and then carried Qin Yuan to his parents' bedroom. The cold wind blowing in from the outside startled Qin Yuan and she was completely awake.
But she was still very excited. The father and daughter walked a dozen steps to Liu Chunhua's room and knocked on the door.
"Dad, Mom, are you awake? Yoyo is looking for daddy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a noise inside, and Liu Chunhua's shouting.
"I'll be right there."
The door was opened hurriedly. Liu Chunhua was wrapped in a brown down jacket. It was Qin Yuan's insistence that she wear it because she now had a rabbit fur satin jacket which was very warm. Her grandmother worked every day and needed to wear something warmer.
"Hey, it's so early in the morning, you just carried Yoyo out like this? What if she gets too cold? Come in quickly."
She called her son in, opened her down jacket, grabbed Qin Yuan and held her in her arms.
Qin Yuan happily leaned against her warm grandma, and then found that her grandpa had also gotten up.
It seems a bit early... wake up grandpa and grandma.
"Good morning, grandma!" She leaned over and gave her a kiss, which made Liu Chunhua's wrinkled face full of smiles.
"Oh, you are really grandma's sweetheart, yo yo is so nice~"
There are many grandchildren in the family, but none of them is as clingy and considerate as this one. Liu Chunhua does not hide her partiality towards Qin Yuan at all.
"Hey, what are you looking for grandpa for?" Qin Dali was also happy. His granddaughter always stuck to his wife and was not that enthusiastic about him as a grandfather. Now that he saw her coming to him, he was also happy.
"Hello, Grandpa!" Qin Yuan stretched out her hand and greeted him obediently. Qin Dali came over and was touched on the cheek by the soft little hand of his little granddaughter.
Hehe, he just shaved his beard, so his granddaughter will definitely not get pricked by it.
"Grandpa, I want to make a stone mill. Can you help me?"
There are no large machines nowadays, and everything is done by manpower, so it depends on grandpa and others to make the stone mill. Qin Yuan wants to hear what grandpa has to say. If he can't do it, then forget it.
"Stone mill? What is that? But if you want it, grandpa will definitely make it for you!"
Qin Dali quickly promised that since his granddaughter was looking for him once, how could he not try his best?
"Dad, this is it." Qin Yu spoke at this moment and took out the millstone. Liu Chunhua's eyes fell on the round object and she immediately understood that this thing was given by Yoyo's fairy friend.
"Oh, what is this stone mill used for?" Liu Chunhua coaxed her granddaughter and was also very curious.
"It's used to grind flour. Put the wheat in and flour will come out. Then you can eat the flour! This small stone mill can be used!" Qin Yuan likes her grandma's personality of asking questions whenever she has any questions!
"Ah? Made from wheat?" Liu Chunhua didn't quite understand, but she clapped her hands and arranged for the two grown men to go to the kitchen together to see how to use the stone mill.
"Let's go to the kitchen!"
The four people moved to another place, and the kitchen was cold. However, Qin Dali directly moved the silver charcoal that his third daughter-in-law gave to the old couple as a filial gift, so as not to let his granddaughter get cold.
Qin Yu went to get the wheat, and the stone mill was placed on the low table. Liu Chunhua was finally willing to put her granddaughter on the ground.
Qin Yuan walked to the low table. At the age of five, she was taller than the table, so she could use the stone mill on it. She picked up the unhulled wheat and put it in the middle of the stone mill. Then she began to turn the toy stone mill with all her strength.
Don't tell me! This is really a child's toy. Qin Yuan's strength is just enough to use it. In a short while, the small stone mill was in her hands, and she saw the unhulled wheat was ground into flour. It only took a moment...
The three members of the Qin family were stunned. Although they didn't understand how to eat wheat flour, hulling wheat was indeed difficult. If they had this magical object, wouldn't it be very easy? Moreover, the wheat husks could also be turned into flour. How much more edible food would there be?
"Grandma, this flour can be used to make a lot of delicious things, but my little stone mill is too small. If Grandpa could make a big stone mill, Yoyo could eat flour every day!"
Steamed buns, dumplings, here I come! Qin Yuan can’t wait!!!
