"Big sister, did you choose the name An An?" Brother Niu asked curiously.
"No. I asked the village elder, and he said it was An An's grandfather who gave him the name. His name is Liu Ankang.
It means that he wants to grow up safely and healthily.
He's already this old, we can't keep calling him by his nickname, we'll just call him by his full name from now on," Song Jinxiu explained.
"Everyone, stop looking and eat quickly." Song Jinxiu served the rice and saw that no one was eating, so she quickly called out.
"Eat, eat, eat! We didn't help much. The meal you prepared is so sumptuous that we feel embarrassed." Brother Xiaoniu said to Song Jinxiu embarrassedly.
"How could I not help? You all have helped a lot. Don't be polite, eat quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Song Jinxiu said.
We were all young people, so after a few pleasantries, we started eating.
At first, I restrained myself because I was a guest, but later I ate so much that I forgot myself.
The group of people devoured all the food very quickly.
He ate up all three bowls of rice, and even the soup was eaten up with the rice.
Liu Ankang also joined in the food grabbing session, leaving Song Jinxiu stunned.
It turns out that he is usually quite slow when eating with me?
It was not until the table was cleared that a few people realized what was happening and scratched their heads embarrassedly.
"Hehe. The food this girl cooked is so delicious. I couldn't help it!" Brother Niu said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you like it. Are you full? If not, I'll make you another bowl of noodles." Song Jinxiu said quickly.
"I'm full. Thank you for your hospitality. We'll go back now." The group said goodbye and left.
Song Jinxiu cleaned the table and took some hawthorn cakes for Xiao Anan to eat. She saw that he ate so quickly and ate a lot just now.
"Don't eat so quickly next time. It's bad for your stomach." Song Jinxiu said.
Liu Ankang looked at her and said, "Eating like you? You're so slow you can't even get a dish, and you can only eat one bowl of white rice."
Song Jinxiu miraculously understood what he meant and tapped his forehead.
"Whenever I'm hungry, remember to eat slower from now on. Be careful of stomach problems."
Liu Ankang didn't understand what she was saying, but nodded anyway.
"So good." Song Jinxiu left him eating the hawthorn cake by himself and went in to wash the dishes.
Oh, I’m really not used to living without detergent.
I have to wash it several times with hot water every time, and even using alkaline noodles doesn’t seem to clean it very well.
Fortunately, I have dishcloths, but washing dishcloths is also very time-consuming! No, it is even more time-consuming.
It's only been a few days, but I already feel my hands have become much rougher.
After cleaning the kitchen, Song Jinxiu took out the clothes and continued mending them.
Liu Ankang continued reading. Song Jinxiu had already explained the story to him once.
Now that he knew what was inside, it seemed even more interesting. It turned out to be a monkey wreaking havoc in Heaven! How interesting.
"Go to bed quickly." After watching for a long time and seeing that the other party showed no intention of taking a nap, Song Jinxiu urged him.
Liu Ankang put down the book reluctantly. He didn't want to sleep and wanted to read more.
"Wait until you wake up before watching it. I've seen you watch it several times." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.
"I have other ones. If you behave yourself, I might show them to you." Song Jinxiu said temptingly.
Liu Ankang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Is there anything else?
I carefully put the books away and went in to take a nap.
Song Jinxiu continued to sew her clothes. She didn't know how to make clothes and had forgotten to buy a sewing machine.
I should have bought one earlier. Who cares if I can't do it? I can learn it, right? It's much faster than sewing needle by needle.
Make a note of this in my notebook and buy one next time I go out.
I thought I could do it well today, but now I think I was too naive.
After sewing the clothes, I still have to trim the edges, which is another big project. I think it would be considered fast if I can finish it tomorrow.
I hit my waist, oh my god, it felt so sore.
I got up carefully, stretched, and did some stretching exercises.
I couldn't hold on any longer after just two hours. Sewing clothes is really not something a human can do.
No, I have to go up the mountain to pick up mountain products tomorrow. As for clothes, it's still early before the weather gets cold, so it doesn't matter if I wait a few days.
Having said that, Song Jinxiu rested for a while and then resigned herself to her fate and picked up the clothes. She still had to finish the work at hand!
Liu Ankang came out after waking up and sat next to Song Jinxiu.
After staring at her for a while and seeing that she had no intention of giving him a new book, he picked up "Havoc in Heaven" again and read it with relish.
Song Jinxiu noticed her gaze and deliberately ignored him. She still wanted to keep him hanging, so how could she give it to him so easily?
After another hour or so, I finally had the clothes pieced together. Tomorrow I just need to finish the edges.
After giving my old waist a good workout, I had a simple meal of fried rice with eggs, some stir-fried vegetables and some soup in the evening.
There was still half a bowl of rice left from lunch, which was enough for two people to eat in the evening.
Liu Ankang seemed to like the egg drop soup at noon, but he couldn’t get it from the adults, so he decided to make it again tonight.
"Big sister!" Someone was calling outside the door. Song Jinxiu walked out and saw that it was one of the people who came to help yesterday.
"Well, I saw that you didn't have much firewood at home yesterday. Today I happened to go up the mountain to chop firewood, so I brought you a bundle." The other person said embarrassedly as he walked towards the backyard.
"I feel embarrassed about this. Just keep it for yourself. I'm planning to take An An to the mountains to collect firewood in a couple of days." Song Jinxiu said embarrassedly.
"We felt bad for eating such a nice meal after doing such a small thing yesterday. There's firewood all over the mountain, it's not worth anything."
The other party spread the firewood in the backyard and left without even drinking a glass of water.
These are all wet firewood that has just been cut down, and they need to be dried and stored to prevent them from rotting.
Then, as if they had discussed it beforehand, each of the four of them brought over a bundle of firewood.
Now it is placed in the backyard to dry, and it has been carefully split into four pieces. Otherwise, Song Jinxiu would have a headache for a while if it were not such a big piece of wood.
Song Jinxiu added some meat slices to the soup tonight, and Liu Ankang enjoyed it even more.
No one competed with him for the food, so he slowed down a bit, but he still ate much faster than Song Jinxiu.
After finishing her meal, Song Jinxiu kneaded a bowl of dough to make steamed buns for tomorrow.
You can also fry steamed bread slices in the evening. Thinking of the crispy steamed bread slices, Song Jinxiu felt that she could eat a lot.
"Xiao Song, is Xiao Song at home?" The yard door was pushed open and the village chief's wife walked in.
"I'm here, auntie." Song Jinxiu came out of the kitchen and dried her hands. There was a towel for drying hands hanging on the door.
"Everyone is going to the market in the next town tomorrow. Do you want to go?" asked the village chief's wife.
"Yes, yes." Song Jinxiu said impatiently.
It’s a rare opportunity to go out, so I have to go to the market in the next town.
