Shen Sisi returned home and just put down the backpack when she heard a kitten-like voice coming from the room: "Mom..."
Niuniu is awake!
She didn't even have time to wash her hands, she took off her work gloves and ran into the room.
I don't know when the little girl woke up. She huddled in the quilt in fear, revealing a pair of timid eyes.
"My dear, when did you wake up?"
Niuniu said in a baby voice: "I woke up a long time ago... I kept calling you, but you didn't answer me."
The voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
Shen Sisi hugged the frightened little guy with heartache.
Although this is a new home, it is still an unfamiliar environment for the children.
...
...
She was extremely grateful that Niu Niu was very well behaved and did not get out of bed and run around. It would be troublesome if she got lost or caught a cold.
"Niuniu was very good today. She knew to wait for her mother in the quilt."
Shen Sisi touched the round little head and felt scared.
Niuniu whined in grievance: "Mom said that if you can't find me, you can't run around. You have to wait right here."
She was stunned for a moment. She had only said this two or three times, but she didn't expect Niu Niu to remember it. What a smart girl.
"I'm sorry, Mom promises that I won't leave you like this again next time. I will take you with me."
"Pink pinky!" Niu Niu stretched out a short finger.
Shen Sisi made a pinky promise, then held the slightly cool little face and kissed it. It was so fragrant and soft. It would be even better if it was fatter...
After a while, I put thick clothes on Niu Niu, and then washed her face and brushed her teeth. It took me half a quarter of an hour to finish.
Niu Niu's stomach was growling with hunger. She rolled around on the sofa, clamoring for food.
Shen Sisi looked at this little monkey. He was very impatient and she didn't know who he looked like.
"Wait, mom will make breakfast for you now!"
She beat two eggs, made egg custard, added a fingernail-sized amount of lard and a little salt, and steamed them together with sweet potatoes in a large pot.
After a while, steam rose from the pot.
Taking advantage of this break, Shen Sisi washed the herbs she had collected in the morning, put them together with the herbs she had washed and dried yesterday in a large ceramic soup bowl, and steamed them in another pot.
Soon, the aroma of medicinal herbs and food mixed together and filled the air.
Chen Sisi controlled the heat, served the egg custard first, poured a few drops of soy sauce on it, and let it cool down before serving it to Niu Niu.
At this moment, the egg custard is not so hot anymore.
When Niu Niu smelled the aroma of eggs, she couldn't help but climb up from the sofa, licking her little mouth with her pink little tongue.
“Eat slowly, don’t choke…” Shen Sisi carried her to the dining table.
Niu Niu is too short and can't reach the bowl when she sits on the chair.
Then the little foot kicked swiftly and the shoe flew off the foot.
She knelt on a chair, grabbed a spoon and started to eat voraciously.
Shen Sisi smiled helplessly, then took a small blanket to cover her feet.
“Don’t be anxious, there are still sweet potatoes after you finish eating…” Shen Sisi said lovingly.
She calculated the time, and after she finished eating the egg custard, the sweet potatoes were just out of the pot.
A few minutes later, Shen Sisi put the sweet potatoes into a bowl, brought it out and placed it on the table, but found that Niuniu had not finished eating the egg custard and there was still half left.
That half was dug neatly, and it was obviously left there on purpose.
Shen Sisi frowned and subconsciously wanted to pick up the bowl and feed her, but she refused.
Niuniu pouted and turned her head to the side: "Niuniu doesn't want to eat it. Niuniu wants to leave it for daddy."
"Dad eats?"
Shen Sisi quickly reacted: "You are a thoughtful child. Do you know that your father is injured and want to nourish his body?"
Niuniu nodded: "Mom said that if you eat more eggs and meat, your body will get better. Niuniu wants Dad to get better soon."
After all, a daughter is a warm and caring person to her parents!
He knows how to love people at the age of three.
However, Niu Niu reminded Shen Sisi that Gu Chengfeng was still injured. Although he said that he was fine, the wound was still bleeding.
In order to avoid suspicion, he moved back to the military camp and gave the big house to her and her mother. It was only right that she should take care of him.
"Niuniu, eat the eggs. Dad should have had breakfast in the military camp. Mom will make a better one later, stewed soybean pig's trotters and send it to Dad, okay?"
The image of the milky white soup quickly flashed through Niu Niu’s mind. It smelled so good!
It’s more fragrant than her egg custard.
"Great!" Niuniu climbed back onto the stool excitedly and picked up the spoon obediently: "Niuniu wants to eat pig's trotters too."
She couldn't help but curl up her fingers and scratched Niuniu's red nose: "Little greedy cat...you are indispensable..."
Shen Sisi turned around and went back into the kitchen, grabbed a few handfuls of soybeans and soaked them in water, then took out half a pig's trotter from the cupboard and chopped it into small pieces.
There are some tricks to stewing pig's trotters. If you don't follow the right steps, the dish will be fishy.
She first put the pig's trotters into a basin, added clean water to cover the trotters, sprinkled a handful of salt on them, and soaked them in light salt water for twenty minutes.
After soaking, put it in a pot with cold water, add onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, skim off the blood foam when the water boils, scoop it out and wash it with warm water.
This not only removes the fishy smell, but also ensures that the pig's trotters are stewed until soft.
After washing, she put the meat into the casserole and added the soaked soybeans. Do not add salt first. Bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.
By noon, the pig's trotters had been stewed until soft and the soup had turned an attractive milky white color.
Only then did Shen Sisi add salt and sprinkle a few wolfberries on it, and the dish was served perfectly.
Thinking that people in the military camp eat early, she thought about sending the food to Gu Chengfeng first.
He temporarily turned off the fire on the stove and used the residual heat to keep the pig's trotters and medicinal materials on the stove.
As she picked out the good meat and stuffed it into her lunch box, she called out, "Niuniu, let's go out and bring some pig's trotter soup to Dad..."
The family compound is not too far from the military camp, only about ten minutes away.
Along the way, Shen Sisi met a lot of people, and everyone looked at her with a much kinder look.
She became famous yesterday and many people know her.
Most people felt deeply sympathetic towards her being made Huang Yao. In addition, since so many good things were moved into her house, they also understood that Gu Chengfeng cared about her very much, and no one dared to provoke her again.
But there are also a few people who sneer at her.
Shen Sisi walked on the road fearlessly, with her head held high and her chest puffed out, her whole body open and confident.
She was wearing a dark grey long coat today and a beret of the same colour on her head. If you didn't know her, you would think she was a female star from some film studio.
Niu Niu was also wearing a cotton jacket of the same color, with white lace edges on the collar and cuffs. She had two buns on her hair, and looked like a doll.
She carried a lunch box in one hand and held her baby in the other, and attracted a lot of attention wherever she passed.
This results in a ten-minute journey feeling like an hour.
After finally reaching the gate of the military area, she said to the sentry on duty: "Hello comrade, I'm looking for Gu Chengfeng."
The sentry looked her up and down, wondering if this person was Captain Gu’s fiancée!
So beautiful, what a perfect match!
His tone was inevitably a little gentler, but he still maintained due vigilance: "You are looking for Captain Gu? Who are you to him?"
Shen Sisi lowered her voice shyly: “I’m his fiancée.”
She felt embarrassed to say this in public.
Also blushing and with a beating heart was Gu Chengfeng who was not far away.
As soon as the meeting was over, he hurried home, fearing that Shen Sisi and her mother would have no food to eat, so he went back to cook.
As soon as I walked to the door, my eyes lit up again and again.
Shen Sisi is here!
She even admitted that she was his fiancée!
