When he rushed home, the three of them were still curled up in their quilts and hadn't woken up yet. Yan Mingli put the bath tub by the door and quietly took two handfuls of rice from the cupboard into the kitchen.
He lit a fire, washed off the dust on the rice, lifted half of the pot lid and put it aside, then scooped a few ladles of water into the pot.
The water in the pot gradually boils, wrapping the snow-white rice grains that keep rolling, and slowly emitting a sweet rice aroma.
Then a long wooden spoon is used to stir the rice soup continuously, so that every grain of rice is cooked until it is soft and sticky.
Gradually, the aroma of porridge filled the entire kitchen, and then drifted towards the yard. After a while, it successfully woke up Yan Mingxue who was still dreaming.
"Sister, brother, do you smell it? It's the smell of rice porridge." Yan Mingxue suddenly sat up from the bed and sniffed hard.
"It's big brother. It must be big brother making breakfast." Yan Mingxue's excited shout woke up Mo Yutong who was still dreaming.
She was dreaming of holding hands with her boy and hugging him in the gentle moonlight. Her lips were about to kiss his, but... snap! The soap bubble was mercilessly popped.
Rubbing his eyes, he sat up in a daze. Mo Yutong touched Yan Mingxue's little head and said, "Xue'er, you look so energetic!"
"Brother is making rice porridge. I feel very energetic!" Yan Mingxue said, then looked at Mo Yutong and asked uncertainly, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"I slept well." Mo Yutong's answer made Yan Mingxue's eyebrows instantly curved. It was great that her sister didn't dislike her family!
"My elder brother lit mugwort last night, so I slept soundly." Yan Mingxue kept telling Mo Yutong about her elder brother's good qualities, hoping that her elder sister could become his sister-in-law.
"Well, your elder brother is the best." Mo Yutong was very touched by the young man's thoughtfulness and smiled with lowered eyes.
"Hurry up and get up, rinse your mouth and wash your face, then have breakfast." The little girl's words made Yan Mingli, who had just walked into the bedroom, have his eyes flashing and his heart numb. He couldn't help but look up at the little girl.
Mo Yutong seemed to have a telepathic connection with him and was looking at him with a gentle smile.
The air was filled with a subtle ambiguity for a moment, as if a breeze gently brushed across the face, smearing a light rouge on the faces of the little girl and the boy.
It is the ambiguous wind that wraps up the young man's joy, and it will cause a rain of heart in the slightly hot weather.
The nervous boy was ignited by the little girl, and then burned fiercely in the rain, turning into an inextinguishable light, illuminating his world in an instant.
"Sister..." Yan Mingcheng woke up and rubbed his eyes to break the suffocation.
"Get up, brush your teeth, wash your face and eat." Mo Yutong retracted her gaze, lifted the quilt, and moved towards the bed with Yan Mingcheng.
Although straw sandals cannot be worn outside, they can still be worn at home because they are really soft.
When Yan Mingli saw the little girl wearing the straw sandals he had woven again, his heart was filled with joy. He turned around and left the bedroom with a smile.
Yan Mingxue, who was following behind him, suddenly braked at the door and her eyes widened.
"Wow! What a big bath tub. Brother, brother, is it ours? Is it?" Squatting in front of the bath tub, Yan Mingxue excitedly touched the edge of the tub, then touched the tub body.
From now on, she can squat in the big bathtub and take a sweet bath like Erni.
"Well, it's for you." Yan Mingli lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Mingxue, but secretly glanced at the little girl who walked out of the bedroom slowly, wondering if she would like it too.
"Brother Li, I like it too." Mo Yutong looked at the boy's slightly embarrassed eyes, trotted to stand in front of him, her smiling eyes full of tenderness.
"Yeah!" The boy's eyebrows relaxed, and the tips of his ears were slightly red, but he forced himself not to relax his shoulders, as if he was afraid of being laughed at by the little girl.
"These are for you!" Mo Yutong took out a bunch of things from behind her and handed them to the boy.
A toothbrush with a white background and red flowers, a small red iron box of tooth powder, and a brand new pink towel embroidered with peonies.
Seeing him looking at her in confusion, Mo Yutong stepped forward and said softly, "It's a matter of reciprocity."
Just because I made a pair of straw sandals for her, does that mean I should get a bunch of things in return?
Yan Mingli looked at the little girl with amusement. Her well-behaved appearance really touched his heart.
"Sister, this pillowcase is so beautiful!" Before Yan Mingli took it, Yan Mingxue had already stood up from the bathtub, rushed to his feet, looked up with eyes full of admiration.
"Brother Li, does it look good?" The little girl leaned against the door and looked out, her eyes flickering, like a poetic and picturesque spring mountain after the rain.
"Yeah!" Yan Mingli nodded slightly as Mo Yutong persevered in stirring the pool of spring water.
He knew what she was asking about, and she knew what he was answering about.
Mo Yutong was very happy. When she passed by him with Yan Mingxue by her hand, she turned around and smiled, "Brother Li is also good-looking!"
"Hmm!" The young man blinked, his heart instantly filled with joy. The corners of his eyes curved slightly, revealing a pure smile. "There's hot water in the pot. Don't brush your teeth with cold water."
When he was washing clothes last night, he saw that her hands were slightly red. He thought that the little girl couldn't stand cold water, so he specially filled a clay pot with water.
"Thank you, Brother Li!" The little girl was really happy and happily handed the new toothbrush in her hand to the two children.
Yan Mingli followed closely behind them. After they took their bowls from the cupboard, he picked up the teacup from the stove and scooped half a bowl of hot water into each of their bowls.
"Add some cold water and go outside to brush your teeth." Yan Mingli walked out of the kitchen first, added cold water for them with a ladle, and then poured himself half a teacup of water.
Four people stood in a row next to the gutter, dipped new toothbrushes in tooth powder, and began to clean their teeth in unison.
