It was not until the sun was setting that Song Jinxiu realized it was time to cook.
"Oh, it's so late." Song Jinxiu looked at her watch and it was already past four o'clock!
"Auntie, I'm so sorry to have kept you up all afternoon. I'll be leaving now. It's almost time to go back and cook."
Song Jinxiu carefully folded the two sets of inner garments and the two sets of overalls, saving the extra needle and thread since she still had some at home.
"Okay, just put the rest here and I'll send them to you when I'm done." The village chief's wife said with a smile.
Young people are different. They can sit there for the whole afternoon and do nothing.
Unlike me, I'm old and haven't moved for so long. My waist is a little bit uncomfortable.
"Okay, thank you, auntie." When I was about to go out, I happened to meet the village chief who was returning home.
"Uncle, you're back! I'll go back first." Song Jinxiu greeted the village chief and walked out with the clothes in her arms.
He stopped at the door and asked the village chief, "By the way, uncle, what is Niu Wazi's full name? He's so big now. I think we should call him by his full name instead of his nickname.
"Call him Liu Ankang!" said the village chief.
"Liu Ankang, I hope you are safe and healthy. That sounds so nice. I'll be leaving first." Song Jinxiu went home with the clothes.
"What is Song Wazi doing here?" asked the village chief.
"Look, I'm making new clothes for Niu Wazi." The village chief's wife said, pointing to the fabric on the table.
"The little girl doesn't know how to make clothes, so she came to me for help. How come she can't even make clothes at this age?"
"Don't wealthy families all have embroiderers? Look at her delicate skin and tender flesh, she must come from a good family." said the village chief.
"Those rich families don't have to make their own clothes. Don't they also have to learn needlework? Why can't she do it?" The village chief's wife added.
"Who knows? Since she wants to learn, you can just teach her. As long as she really wants to live a good life, then we will help her out."
The village chief waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. Go cook."
The village head's wife gathered the things and put them away, then went to the kitchen to cook.
Song Jinxiu hurried home and saw that Niu Wazi had woken up and was playing with the two little ones.
After putting the clothes away, I ran to the kitchen to cook.
Steam the rice first, then have a plate of braised pork and roast duck in the evening, and make some minced meat and eggplant.
Perfect, they are all semi-finished products and can be made quickly.
The braised meat is already cut up. You can put it in the pot later. You have to chop the duck yourself.
Song Jinxiu put the chopping board on the ground so that she could use more force.
Watching others chop duck is so easy. Clang, clang, clang, it becomes pieces.
When it was my turn, I realized, hey. There is no such thing as easy in the adult world.
It took a lot of effort to chop the duck. Cutting it into large pieces makes it easier to eat the meat. That's right, that's it.
I peeled and cut the eggplant under the gaze of a young man. What's wrong with this kid? What's that look?
Niu Wazi: "Why do we need to peel eggplants? Can't we eat the skin? Isn't it a waste?"
Xiaobai, go eat it.
Niuwazi took Xiaobai to the eggplant peel and let it eat it.
Xiaobai sniffed it and walked away.
He picked up Xiao Hei again, and Xiao Hei also walked away.
Finally, Niu Wazi pinched the eggplant peel to feed the little donkey, and the little donkey ate it out of courtesy.
Niu Wazi gave it all the remaining skin to eat.
From then on, the little donkey became Niu Wazi's new favorite, and its status was second only to Dabai, on par with the other two little ones.
Niu Wazi patted the donkey's head. "You are still the best."
The aroma of food soon wafted from the kitchen.
Niu Wazi twitched his nose. Today he had meat to eat again. It smelled so good.
The two little ones were also wandering around in the yard. They had been told not to enter the kitchen or the room.
Although he couldn't speak, he knew he couldn't go in, so he had to wander around in the yard, and sometimes he would go to the backyard.
"Dinner is ready." Song Jinxiu's voice came from the kitchen.
The two little ones were quicker than Niu Wa Zi and went straight to wait under the eight-immortals table.
Niu Wazi took the initiative to wash his hands and set the table.
The food was served quickly and the two of them started eating.
"By the way, I asked the village chief today, and he said your real name is Liu Ankang. From now on, I will call you An An instead of your nickname!" Song Jinxiu said to Liu Ankang.
Liu Ankang looked at the person opposite him, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was as if he had just realized for the first time that he actually had a name. After a moment of reflection, he continued to eat heartily.
"An An!" Song Jinxiu called out.
After a pause, Liu Ankang looked up at her in confusion.
"Hehe. I'll call it to you more often so that you can get familiar with your own name. Then when I call you An An in the future, you'll know I'm calling you." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
Then they ate. After a while, Song Jinxiu called An An. Liu Ankang glanced at her in agreement. Then she burst into laughter.
In the end, Song Jinxiu finished her dinner with An An looking at her as if she was mentally retarded.
Just as I put the dishes into the kitchen, there was a knock on the door and Brother Niu's voice came in.
"Is Miss Song home? I'm here to help you build the donkey shed."
"I'm coming." Song Jinxiu wiped her hands clean and ran to open the door. The door was not locked, just closed.
Usually in the evening she would close the door, after all, she didn't go out to visit anyone, and no one came to visit her.
Liu Ankang didn't go out at night. If Dabai hadn't come back yet, Song Jinxiu would have intervened directly.
There were four young men outside the door, holding various tools and wood in their hands.
"I'm sorry, Miss Song. I had something to do at noon and couldn't come. I brought a few brothers here, and with more people we can get it done for you in no time." Brother Xiaoniu said embarrassedly.
