The next morning, when Tong Yiya woke up, Fu Shinian was still asleep, so she got up quietly and made breakfast.
The rolled noodles I made for them in the morning went well with the spicy chicken hotpot that we didn’t finish yesterday.
"Well, this morning's breakfast is so rich, you should just cook us a bowl of noodles, and you can keep the remaining spicy chicken for lunch," Fu Shinian said as he walked into the kitchen
"If you have food to eat, then talk less. I kept the food for you. I can't treat you badly while you two are out there making money," Tong Yiya said.
"I didn't say you treated us unfairly. With you at home, who cooks delicious food, we don't feel we are being treated unfairly no matter what we eat," Fu Shinian said flatteringly.
"You are the only one who can say nice things." Tong Yiya was indeed amused by what he said.
He quickly picked up the noodles, added the seasoning, and poured a spoonful of spicy chicken hotpot with two or three pieces of chicken, sprinkled with some coriander and scallions, and said to Fu Shinian: "Okay, take it over and eat it. The better you eat, the sooner you can go out."
"Okay, guards, come in and have breakfast. Your sister-in-law told us to eat early and go out in good condition," Fu Shinian shouted to guard Dong outside.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Guard Dong walked into the kitchen from outside, thanked Tong Yiya first, then picked up another bowl of noodles and went to the dining table to eat.
Tong Yiya cooked the two portions, waited for the noodle soup to boil, added some noodles, cooked a bowl, mixed it, and brought it to Mr. Zhang.
He went back to the kitchen, picked up his portion, and prepared to go back to the courtyard next door. Before leaving, he said to the two of them, "When you are done eating, just put the dishes in the basin. I will come over to wash them later."
"Okay, sister-in-law, you can go if you are busy looking after the children," said Dong Weibing
"Well, the things I prepared for you are in the bag over there. Remember to take them with you when you leave." Tong Yiya was afraid that the two of them would forget the things they were going to take, so she reminded them again before leaving the kitchen and returning to the next room with the noodles.
After returning to the room, she saw that Yuanyuan was still asleep, so she sat down at the desk, finished her breakfast, poured water to wipe her mouth, and then went to bed and took another nap.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by Yuanyuan's voice.
It turned out that Yuanyuan woke up and saw his mother was still sleeping, so he got up and crawled around on the kang for a few times. However, since no one had played with him for a long time, he felt a little bored, so he crawled next to Tong Yiya's head and woke her up.
"Yuanyuan is awake. Are you hungry?" Tong Yiya sat up, held Yuanyuan in her arms, and talked to the child.
"Mah...Mah...ah..." Words came out of the round little mouth, and a lot of saliva flowed out. This was because the child was starting to grow teeth, and the saliva was a bit too much to contain.
Tong Yiya touched his diaper and found it was already very wet, so she got up and changed his diaper. Afraid that he was hungry, she put clothes on him, poured water to wash his face and hands, and then picked up the child and left the room.
I went to the kitchen next door, took out the chicken thigh puree that Yuanyuan had not finished making yesterday, added some other chopped vegetables and a few noodles, and cooked it into a pot of soft and mushy noodles. After blowing it out of the pot and cooling it down, I slowly fed it to Yuanyuan.
After cleaning Yuanyuan, the sun was getting higher outside. Thinking that there were still a lot of clothes to be washed at home, she sent Yuanyuan to be looked after by Old Zhang. She went back to her room, took out her own bedding and the clothes that the three of them had changed out of, fetched water from the well, soaked them in water, and then began to wash them little by little in a small basin.
I used the non-foaming soap powder in the space, which cleans well without much fragrance.
It took her a whole afternoon to wash all the clothes and bedding covers. She then fetched some water and scrubbed the pits and cabinets in the house. After cleaning up, she took a clean quilt cover to cover the bedding, folded it up, and then went to pick up Yuanyuan.
At noon, she and Mr. Zhang just made some steamed buns, boiled the leftover spicy chicken hotpot from yesterday, cooked some vegetables in it, and had their meal like that.
In the afternoon, Tong Yiya and Yuanyuan woke up from their nap. The sun outside was not as bright as it was at noon, so she prepared to go out and dig some motherwort to eat with sauce.
Eating some wild dandelions in this weather can help clear away heat, and the men in the family also like it. She has nothing to do now, so she thought about leaving Yuanyuan to the care of Mr. Zhang, took the knife and basket and went out.
Even though the weather outside is very hot now, most villagers are still working in the fields. After returning from school, the children will take advantage of the time before dark to pick two baskets of pig grass and bring them to the village to exchange for one or two work points to supplement their family income.
Tong Yiya thought that if she wanted to find some younger dandelions in this season, she could only go down the mountain to look.
When she walked down the mountain, she saw the children from the village picking grass for pigs from afar. The children all knew her and had received benefits from her in the past, so they would greet her politely when they saw her.
"Tong Zhiqing, are you going to pick wild vegetables?" a little girl asked
"Yes, I thought the weather was too hot and people would get angry easily, so I thought of digging some motherwort and boiling it in water to drink," said Tong Yiya
"As for dandelions, they are very bitter and not tasty at all. I know where I can find them. I'll take Tong Zhiqing there." When the girl heard that she was looking for dandelions, there was a hint of disgust on her face, but she thought that if she took Tong Zhiqing to find them, she might give her candy, so she offered to take her there to find them.
"Really? Then take me to find it. If I find it, I'll give you two candies as a reward, okay?" Tong Yiya was of course willing to have someone take her to find it. The only price was two candies, and she also had an impression of the child, so she agreed.
The little girl was very happy when she heard that, so she picked up her backpack and took Tong Yiya to a place where there were not many people. Not long after they walked, Tong Yiya saw the dandelions she mentioned, a small patch of them, some of which were old and had bloomed dandelions, but there were still many young ones.
Tong Yiya gave the little girl the two candies she promised, and watched her happily go to the side to continue mowing the grass. Then she squatted down and started digging dandelions.
She tried her best to preserve the roots of the dandelion. Although this part tastes more bitter than the leaves, the effect is all in the roots.
She dug out almost two kilograms before she got up and prepared to go back.
When she got home, she picked up the weeds and old leaves from the dandelion and washed them clean. Then she picked up Yuanyuan and took care of her for a while.
I waited until about five in the afternoon before going into the kitchen to start cooking dinner.
In the evening, she cooked two kinds of rice, added an egg sauce, some pickled vegetables, and some kimchi, and that was her dinner.
Although it was a very ordinary dinner, Mr. Zhang ate half a bowl more than usual.
After eating, he sighed: "Oh, this pickled vegetable is still delicious. It can not only clear the internal heat in this weather, but also keep you cool."
