Chapter 726: Is This a Bit of an Exaggeration?
After throwing the small pot into the pool, Lu Miao stood by the well and pumped water to wash his hands.
"Come out and take a shower. I'm dying of heat."
Fu Jingyou stopped talking, walked to the well and pushed her aside.
He squeezed out a few splashes of cold water and told her to finish washing quickly and go inside.
Mingxia had a bad stomach, so Lu Miao thought of making her something mild and nutritious to eat to help her relieve the pain.
They were all children, there was no reason why she should have a share while the other two had to just watch.
Make enough for the kids in the family.
After Fu Jingyou washed the pot, Lu Miao started preparing in the afternoon.
Mash the yam and peel and devein the live shrimp.
The scallops I bought were cut in half.
Some of it is reserved for cooking and serving at night.
Lu Miao picked out a part of them, removed the shells, the sides and the liver, leaving only the scallops.
After everything was cleaned up, I lit the stove and put a small pot on the kitchen door.
Use a little lard to stir-fry the shrimp heads to extract the shrimp oil, add appropriate amount of water, remove the shrimp heads after boiling, pour in the soaked rice, mushrooms and shredded ginger, cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for thirty to forty minutes.
When the popcorn comes out of the pot, add scallops, shrimps, marinated shredded pork, salt and a few grains of MSG seasoning.
At this point, just cover and continue to simmer for a few minutes.
Lu Miao couldn't sit still, so he went to the vegetable garden in the yard under the hot sun to pick fresh leafy vegetables.
She had just washed and chopped the vegetables in the kitchen when someone knocked on the gate.
It was Tang Mei who opened the door and started yelling as soon as she opened it:
"Hey, kid, don't you wear a hat or something when you work? Look how tanned you are."
Lu Miao curiously peeked in.
The one who came was Liu Wenpei.
After the school was on summer vacation, she and Ling Yuan went back to the farm in the suburbs together.
He must have been working on the farm for a while. His skin, which was not fair to begin with, has become even darker.
"Aunt, I came back to check on our house. It's been uninhabited for a long time, and I'm worried someone might get a chance to pry open the doors and windows."
When Liu Wenpei came this time, he was holding a snakeskin bag that looked like a big bag.
Once they entered the yard, they opened the bag and showed Tang Mei what was inside.
"These are melons and edamame grown on the farm. My mom asked me to bring some over for you to try."
"Hey, okay, okay, did you walk here or take a car? You must be hot, come inside and rest."
"Why!"
Liu Wenpei responded with a smile and followed Tang Mei into the house without any hesitation.
"I walked here. The city buses haven't reached our area yet!"
"You must have worked hard, carrying such a heavy thing all the way."
"It's not hard work, auntie. You always helped with the housework in the past. I'm used to it!"
Liu Wenpei laughed, and from beginning to end he showed the hardworking qualities of the working people.
As he spoke, his eyes met Lu Miao in the kitchen.
She greeted curiously:
"Xiaobao, it's not dinner time yet, what are you busy in the kitchen?"
Lu Miao nodded in response, but before she could say anything, Tang Mei in the room had already answered for her:
"The second child took after her and has become a bit spoiled. Today, he has a stomachache! She rushed back from outside and said she would get him some food to nourish his stomach."
Liu Wenpei nodded and saw the small stove at the kitchen door at a glance.
She didn't pay attention to the teacup handed to her by Tang Mei, and walked to the kitchen door and directly lifted the lid of the small pot.
When Liu Wenpei saw what was inside, he was surprised:
"Oh my goodness, no wonder it smells so good and is so rich! There's shrimp, mushrooms and meat, and what's that white stuff?"
"It's a shellfish."
Lu Miao explained slowly.
Liu Wenpei held the lid of the pot, and she poured the yam puree and chopped vegetables into the pot, and took a spoon to stir it evenly.
Liu Wenpei said:
"You're so willing to do that!"
Liu Wenpei actually didn’t know what “Shell Pillar” was, but it didn’t matter, it didn’t stop her from being surprised.
A pot of porridge can be filled with so many ingredients. I'm afraid that even the prime ministers of the country may not eat it like this.
Lu Miao didn't know what she was thinking. He covered the pot and simmered it for another minute or two. Then he asked Fu Jingyou to bring a rag and take the pot to the big table in the main hall.
She invited Liu Wenpei to sit in the main hall and explained:
"Don't be stingy when it comes to children. Some minor ailments may seem innocuous, but they can actually harbor many complications. It's better to spend some time and effort on treatment now than to not lay a good foundation and let the child suffer later when he grows up."
"Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?"
Liu Wenpei scratched his head and had a different opinion:
"Didn't we all go through this when we were little? I heard my aunt say that Erbao has a bad stomach. I don't think it's that serious. Maybe he just had an upset stomach."
A child's illness is not a good sign. Even if the doctor determines that it is a gastrointestinal problem, this possibility cannot be denied.
But paying attention is definitely safer than ignoring it.
Liu Wenpei just got married and has no children yet, so she may not be able to empathize with some aspects.
Lu Miao didn't argue with her about this issue.
Maybe when she has her own children in the future, she will have different ideas...
Bringing bowls, chopsticks and spoons, Lu Miao served a bowl to each of the children, and told them to blow on it and eat slowly, and not to rush.
Seeing that she was still stubborn and acted as if the sky was falling over a small matter, Liu Wenpei could not help but say something in an ambiguous way:
"No wonder your children are all so good-looking."
"Is it growing well? I think so too. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I feed it."
Lu Miao smiled gently and brightly, not taking Liu Wenpei's words to heart at all.
She focused on watching the children eat and didn't say anything more to Liu Wenpei.
However, she overheard a lot of the conversation between Liu Wenpei and Tang Mei.
Liu Wenpei brought news that the Xie family was going to have a wedding.
A while ago, the heads of the Xie and Gu families met and took the opportunity to finalize the matter between Xie Fei and Gu Ying.
The two children were already grown up, and they were worried that they would not have enough time after school started, so the two families decided together to schedule the marriage during the summer vacation.
Then we got married before school started.
Lu Miao felt it was a bit hasty, but thinking from another perspective, it seemed quite normal in this era.
I talked a lot and the sun outside changed color.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Wenpei stood up and said goodbye:
"Auntie, Xiaobao, I have to go, otherwise it will be dark halfway up the road."
Lu Miao was quick and had already picked up a few apples and bananas and placed them next to Tang Mei.
At this time, she was afraid that if she delayed any further it would be dangerous and difficult for her to go back alone.
Tang Mei didn't ask her to stay for dinner, and walked her to the door with some fruit in her hand.
"Take this back and eat it... Ling Yuan is such a fool. He didn't say he would come back with you. Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice if we could have dinner together at home before going back?"
"We'll be back soon. There will be plenty of opportunities to eat with us. Just don't think we're annoying, auntie."
Liu Wenpei laughed it off but refused to accept the things.
Tang Mei forcefully pulled her hand over and stuffed a small bag of fruit into her hand:
"Don't refuse, or we won't be able to take the melons and edamame in the house, or anything else you bring here in the future."
Liu Wenpei scratched his head and had to answer:
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Just polite words, go quickly and be careful on the road."
"Why!"
