Su Qingxue saw Xiaohua eating steamed buns, then she went back to the house and prepared to have her own breakfast.
When I came out after breakfast, I saw Xiaohua sweeping the yard with a broom. She had even watered the yard in advance to prevent dust from being everywhere. She was so well behaved.
"Xiaohua, Auntie will come and sweep the floor later. You are still young, so just sit and play by the side. Just accompany Auntie, and you don't have to do any housework."
I just asked someone to accompany me so that no one would find out when I was about to give birth. It's not like I hired a nanny, and I didn't expect anyone else to do the work, so I specially found a child.
"It's okay. I often clean at home. Auntie's belly is so big that it's inconvenient for her to clean. I will do as much as I can."
Although the little guy is so short, what he said was particularly heartwarming. At least Su Qingxue felt very touched.
Seeing how thin she is, I thought of steaming two duck eggs and stewing some braised pork for her at lunch to give her some good nourishment.
By the way, I can also replenish my own body.
Su Qingxue had nothing to do, so she walked around the yard a few times and found that everything she needed to do had been done.
Then I walked around the backyard and picked some red peppers and cherry tomatoes. Because I had picked them yesterday, there were only a few left.
After washing everything, I put the peppers in the yard to dry, and put the tomatoes in a bowl. I took Xiaohua to sit under the eaves and put the bowl of tomatoes in front of her. "These are grown by Auntie in the backyard. They are sour and sweet and delicious. Come and have a taste."
Originally, Xiaohua was embarrassed to always eat other people's food.
But when I heard that these cherry tomatoes were grown in the backyard, I no longer had such concerns.
Most people think that anything grown in the backyard is worthless, so they happily grabbed two and put them in their hands, "Thank you, Aunt Su."
Su Qingxue touched her head and said, "You're welcome. Come on and eat!"
The two of them felt a bit bored sitting in the yard. After eating enough cherry tomatoes, they closed the door and prepared to go for a walk outside.
Although Zhao Xiaohua looked at Su Qingxue with concern and disapproval, she did not say much. She just walked in front and kicked away the smaller stones to prevent them from accidentally falling.
After walking for only two minutes, I saw several children in front of me. They were all over one year old who had just learned to walk, and some over three years old. They were not needed to work in the fields, so they gathered together to play.
Su Qingxue didn't want to hang around where people were working in the fields, to avoid arousing envy. She felt more happy playing with these kids, so she just stayed.
Watch them pick various leaves or wild vegetables to cook, use some thinner stone slices as bowls, and play house games.
It's quite interesting to watch.
Some played the mothers, some played the fathers, some played the children, and some even played the bride and groom. It was so much fun.
Seeing Xiaohua wanting to play but being too embarrassed to go up to her, he simply let her go and play. He found a big rock nearby and sat on it.
I knew Xiaohua wanted to accompany me and it would be irresponsible to go play alone. But when I saw that she wanted to play, and I had nothing to do, I just sat aside and watched them play.
Although it was a bit surprising, how could a child who was over six years old and the oldest children who were over three years old play together?
But seeing how happy they are having fun, I guess there is no generation gap between them.
Sitting on the stone and looking at the ditch beside it, you can occasionally see loaches and crabs swimming in it.
It’s just that the crab was a little too small, only slightly bigger than a thumb.
It tastes quite good if fried, and it’s crispy, but I heard that crabs are a bit cold in nature, so I think I’d better forget it!
However, you can pick some wild vegetables nearby. Since the vegetables in the vegetable garden have matured, you have never picked any wild vegetables outside.
I haven’t eaten it for so long that I really miss it, especially some wild vegetables are quite delicious.
Find some delicious wild vegetables that you like to eat, and pinch off the tender tips on them.
There are very few wild vegetables to eat at this time.
Most of them are old, but occasionally you can find some that are slightly tender.
After picking enough wild vegetables for two meals, I stopped and cleaned up a little. I washed them in a place with water nearby, then I pulled a piece of hay and tied them up so that I could carry them when I went back.
By about eleven o'clock, the sun was getting bigger and the weather was getting hotter, and Su Qingxue couldn't stand it anymore.
"Xiaohua, the weather is too hot, let's go back!"
Zhao Xiaohua seemed to have just remembered that she had a mission, "Okay, I'll be right there."
He threw away what he was holding and quickly ran to Su Qingxue. He took the small bundle of wild vegetables from her hand with great discernment.
Anyway, this small bundle of wild vegetables is not heavy, so let her take it.
After taking a walk outside, I felt hungry again even though it was not yet time for lunch.
No matter it is not time for dinner yet, the first thing I do when I get home is to cook rice.
While watching the rice steaming, say what dishes you want to eat.
Anyway, there are only two of us eating at noon, so there is no need to cook too many dishes.
One braised pork, one cold wild vegetable dish, and finally two steamed duck eggs to make steamed eggs. These three dishes are definitely not enough for two people.
When Zhao Xiaohua was preparing to eat, she thought it would be the same as at home. A steamed bun made of two grams of flour was the best. Usually they ate wo wo bread, stewed with various vegetables from home.
How did I know it tasted so good?
In addition to the wild vegetables that every family eats, there are also braised pork and steamed eggs, which made her embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks.
"Aunt Su, you don't have to count on me when you cook such delicious meals in the future. Just eat it yourself. I can eat whatever I want. I'm not picky at all."
Zhao Xiaohua felt really embarrassed to eat such delicious food. She came here to accompany Aunt Su, but she had money and a meal, and she felt really embarrassed to eat such delicious food.
Su Qingxue felt that she was too polite. It should be her first time to eat here, so she was embarrassed. She thought she would get used to it after eating a few more meals here.
"It's okay. How much can a little kid like you eat? From now on, you should eat with me. Don't worry, you only eat a little. You don't have to worry about eating me out."
He was a little embarrassed to pick up the food at first, but after Su Qingxue helped him several times, he slowly started to pick up the food.
In Zhao Xiaohua's words, I'd better pick it up myself, Aunt Su picks too much.
It's enough to just taste the braised pork. You can't be so tactless as to eat it non-stop.
