"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Xiuhua originally knocked on the door and then went back to set the table and set out the dishes.
However, after the children sat down, they waited for a long time, but their sister-in-law still didn't come out of the room.
Xiuhua watched as Tiedan and the others stared at the sweet potatoes and several dark pancakes on the table, swallowed hard, but didn't reach out to take them.
Feeling a little worried, I stood up, called out a name, and prepared to knock on the door.
Before he could even raise his hand, the door creaked open from the inside.
"I'm fine."
Ning Jing came out carrying a basin and smiled at Xiu Hua.
Then he splashed the basin of water into the corner of the yard, put it down, and sat down at the table.
"Everyone, let's eat!"
Ning Jing took the sweet potatoes from the basket and distributed them to everyone one by one. Then she tore the three black flour cakes in half.
In this way, everyone can get half a black bread.
Xiuchun stared at the half-eaten black flatbread in front of her, as if she had been startled.
I looked up at Ning Jing and Xiu Hua.
We already ate dark flour pancakes yesterday, and then had dumplings for lunch, so there's not much dark flour left.
So, tonight she made three small black flour pancakes.
It's prepared for my sister-in-law, second sister, and Tiedan.
If Tie Dan hadn't injured his arm today, he wouldn't have been able to eat it either.
As if sensing the doubt in Xiuchun's eyes, Ningjing smiled at everyone.
"Don't worry, even if the black noodles are all gone, your sister-in-law will find a way."
"Once the grain is distributed, your sister-in-law will make you white flour steamed buns."
Siya and Tiedan cheered and started eating the black pancakes they had been holding in their hands.
Seeing that Xiuchun was still looking at her with concern in her eyes, Xiuhua said softly, "Eat up, listen to your sister-in-law."
Xiuchun then lowered her head, glanced at the half-eaten black pancake in her hand, and began to eat it in small bites.
After everyone finished eating, Xiuhua and Xiuchun were about to clear the dishes and take them into the kitchen to wash.
But Ning Jing stopped her.
"Xiuhua, I'll take care of these."
You and Xiuchun wipe your younger siblings and yourselves with hot water, and while the weather is nice, hang them outside to air overnight so they can wear them tomorrow morning.
Xiuchun, go and scoop out the hot water first.
Remember to wipe down the straw mat on the bed after you've showered.
She noticed that after working for the past two days, Xiuhua and her children hadn't developed any hygiene awareness.
As soon as she finished speaking, a notification sounded in her mind.
(To activate the educational mission, please confirm whether you wish to activate it.)
Upon hearing Fuqiang's cooperative prompt, Ning Jing confirmed the activation without hesitation.
Xiuhua blushed when she heard her sister-in-law's words.
She's already so old, and she only has this one piece of clothing on her. If she takes a shower, she has no clean clothes to change into.
Normally, it's done secretly, after everyone is asleep, to scrub the pants, and then early in the morning before everyone wakes up, regardless of whether they're dry or not, to put them on.
As if sensing her embarrassment, Ning Jing took out the clothes she had worn when she woke up from the wooden cabinet in the room and handed them to Xiu Hua.
"Sister-in-law, what is this...!?"
Xiuhua's originally big, round eyes widened in surprise.
Every household is short of cloth now. Xiuhua knows that her sister-in-law only has these two sets of clothes on her body and in her hand.
If I give her this outfit, what will my sister-in-law wear when she needs to change clothes?
