After the two left the house, Zhang Sumei complained to Liu Weisong that they had grown up, become independent, and each of them had their own little schemes.
Liu Weisong felt helpless. He didn't want to listen, but he had no choice because of his inconvenient legs. Now he couldn't just walk away and not listen as he used to.
"Lele, you can start taking care of your health now!" Liu Shihua said excitedly as soon as she left her parents' room.
Liu Shile saw that his eyes were bright, clearly showing the radiant joy of a young man who had achieved a goal through his own efforts.
Well, at this moment, Liu Shile didn't want to discourage him. She smiled slightly and praised him, "Second Brother reacted very quickly and cleverly today. He even achieved his goal. Very impressive!"
Sure enough, upon hearing her sister's praise, Liu Shihua couldn't hide her smile. She scratched her head with a silly grin and said, "Mom is still pretty good, all bark and no bite."
Liu Shile almost rolled her eyes when she heard this. Fine, you can go and be happy by yourself. I'd better go to the kitchen and help with the fire.
Although she had eaten a very good and full lunch, it was getting dark and she was actually a little hungry.
Before she even reached the kitchen, her eldest sister looked at her with concern and asked, "Lele, are you alright? I didn't hear anything outside?"
She thought there would be a big show at home today, but she didn't hear much noise, just her mother howling a couple of times. So she was a little confused about what was going on.
"It's alright, Mom and Dad are both fine, what could possibly happen to us?" Liu Shile smiled, her eyes crinkling. Thinking of how her mother had been rendered speechless by her words, how could she not be alright?
Liu Shixi, unaware of what she was thinking, assumed she was telling the truth and nodded, saying, "That's right, Mom is still a very good person. Although she's a bit harsh, she's still good to us."
Liu Shile secretly curled her lip; that was directed at that brat Liu Shiping. As for the other kids, well...
If I can avoid getting scolded by her several times a day, that's already pretty good, okay?
Although she thought this way, Liu Shile didn't want others to see her true thoughts, so she just nodded in agreement and helped to start the fire.
For dinner, it was still porridge and pickled vegetables. My parents and Liu Shiping cooked an extra egg, but Liu Shile didn't get any.
Liu Shile didn't care, but Liu Shihua felt a pang of sadness. The family raised quite a few hens. Although they had to kill a few to nourish her mother, they could still collect an egg every day.
My sister, who gets up before dawn to feed the chickens, rarely gets to eat eggs. We had promised to give everyone in the family some nourishment, but why is it still like this?
He moved his lips as if to say something, but Liu Shile, with her sharp eyes, saw that he was about to speak and quickly tugged at him, giving him a meaningful look.
Liu Shile is not lacking in this skill. Although she is suspected of being a kitchen disaster, she can still do something as simple as boiling an egg.
She had bought plenty of chickens and ducks of all sizes in Yicheng before, and even bought a few geese, so she really didn't lack these things.
She also caught quite a few birds and brought them to the farm today. She plans to take them out to her second brother to eat when they grow up and lay eggs, so that he won't suffer from malnutrition.
She hadn't forgotten that her second brother also needed nourishment. He probably didn't mention it today because he wanted his mother to agree to make medicinal cuisine at home.
Seeing her sister like this, Liu Shihua lowered her head and began to eat silently, but she couldn't taste anything.
He knew what his sister meant; she didn't want to fight over these things. He hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it before, since his younger brother was young and did need extra nutrition.
Besides, my parents didn't eat eggs back then, so no one thought it was wrong for my younger brother to eat them all by himself.
Now that my parents are not in good health, it's understandable that they need to eat eggs to supplement their nutrition. But why is it that my younger sister also needs to supplement her nutrition, but no one is thinking about her?
“I don’t like this, Xi’er, you can share it with your younger siblings.” At this moment, Liu Weisong pushed his egg in front of Liu Shixi, who was sitting to his left.
Liu Shixi was taken aback. "Dad, you're so weak. How can you not eat this to replenish your nutrition? You should eat it yourself. We don't like it, right, Lele and Shihua?"
Liu Shile laughed and said, "Yes, Dad, you're not feeling well, how can you not eat? Even if you don't like it, you have to eat it for your health."
She didn't lack for it, so answering it was effortless for her, and her words were sincere and earnest, which surprised Liu Weisong slightly.
She looks like this...
"Alright, just eat. Look at you, you're trying so hard to be kind to her, and she doesn't even appreciate it!" Zhang Sumei stared at Liu Shile for a moment before turning to her husband with a disapproving look.
Liu Weisong's eyes dimmed for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you're all good kids, all good kids. Then I won't argue with you anymore. Eat, eat."
Although his voice was still cheerful, Liu Shile felt something was strange. Her father seemed to have suddenly become depressed. What was going on?
If you can't figure it out, fine. Just don't think about things you can't figure out for now. What you're meant to know will come to you eventually, and as for things you shouldn't know, knowing them will only cause you trouble.
Her thoughts were quite straightforward; with that in mind, she settled down and ate her porridge with pickled vegetables.
To be honest, the pickled vegetables her older sister made tasted really good. She had never eaten anything like this in the apocalypse, so eating them with porridge didn't feel monotonous at all.
Just for the sake of making pickled vegetables, Liu Shile secretly planted a lot of cabbage, baby bok choy, and other vegetables suitable for making pickled vegetables on her farm.
Even though she's not a great cook, so what? There are skilled cooks in the family. She can learn from them first, and then try it out on the farm herself. She can't be so useless that she can't even learn how to make pickled vegetables, right?
While eating, Liu Shile's mind wandered, and she was thinking about what she should get and send back to Wang Xiaodong tomorrow.
To be honest, she doesn't have much to offer, just the farm's stock and the kiwis that were just moved to the farm today and are now ripe.
Although this thing is not common, it can still be seen occasionally in the mountains. It's just that many people don't know how to eat it, so it doesn't attract much attention when they take it out.
Besides this, Liu Shile pondered for a while but still couldn't figure out what to give as a gift. She glanced at her second brother and thought she would ask him later to see if he had any good ideas.
There is a grape vine with fruit in the yard, but it's something they can't control. Besides, they don't need it. After all, it's a farm with plenty of fruit, so why would they care about this?
When giving gifts, you should either give the person something they like or something they need. A gift should touch their heart to be considered a true gift, right?
