Before winter, I have to go to the Mountain of No Return again.
While moving stones, Song Yuehua was thinking about going into the mountains.
With the help of Xie Wenwu in the afternoon, the progress was much faster. After Xiaoyu finished her work, she also came with Xie Yu to rake the stones together.
After working all day, they finally cleared a piece of land, sowed vegetable seeds, and watered the land. Finally, the work was completed.
For dinner, I cooked a can of rice, fried a large portion of pork slices with green peppers, a large bowl of cabbage, and a steamed egg.
While eating, Xie Wenwu said, "Master, believe it or not, we don't eat so well at home."
Every meal must contain meat, and the dishes must contain meat. Not to mention farmers, even hunters would not eat like this every day.
Song Yuehua did not intend to reflect on herself, and only said, "You are not the head of the household, so you naturally do not know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Xiaoyu and I were physically deficient in our early years, and now we are replenishing our bodies, so we cannot stop eating."
"Our age is the golden period for growth. If we don't eat more good food, we will not only grow shorter and have poor physical fitness, but also become ugly."
"You are worthy of being my master. You know so much!" Xie Wenwu said admiringly.
Xie Yu touched her face nervously.
At night, Dabao kept babbling and refused to sleep. Song Yuehua held him and rocked him gently, patting his back, and it took a long time to coax him into sleep.
Xiaobao didn't make any noise or trouble. She just liked Song Yuehua holding her and walking back and forth in the room.
Occasionally, when she stopped to rest, she would look at you with her big round eyes blinking, and Song Yuehua would continue walking back and forth holding her.
Finally, it was late at night and Xiaobao couldn't resist his sleepiness. He yawned and fell asleep quickly.
After coaxing the two little ones to sleep, Song Yuehua stretched her body.
Looking back, Xiaoyu was still sewing under the oil lamp, and she immediately said, "You have enough clothes now, don't strain your eyes at night."
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Sister, Xiaoyu gave me a bracelet today, and I want to make a purse for her."
After saying that, Xiaoyu showed her the bracelet proudly, and Song Yuehua couldn't help laughing.
The relationship between the two girls heated up quickly.
Song Yuehua took out a cloth bag from the bamboo box and handed it to Xiaoyu. "This is the hair flower we chose together in the county before. You and Xiaoyu each get one. Give it to her tomorrow."
Xiaoyu refused to take it, "Sister, didn't you buy this for yourself? I can just sew a purse for myself, and you can keep the hairpin."
Song Yuehua burst out laughing, "I bought it for you originally, but your hair hadn't grown well at that time. I've taken good care of it recently, and your hair is smoother and shinier. It will definitely look good on you now."
"Besides, if I want to wear something, it should be a gold flower, or at least a silver flower. This is too childish and not suitable for me."
Xiaoyu: "..." My sister is really childish now.
Song Yuehua persuaded Xiaoyu for a long time before she accepted the two head flowers. She also didn't stop asking for the purse. The head flowers were given by her elder sister, but the purse was given by her.
The next day, the big jar was finally delivered, along with two iron pots that had been ordered from the county, one big and one small.
The big pot is put away for the time being. Now that I have a small pot, I can finally eat proper stir-fried dishes.
After Xie Yu came over, Xiaoyu took out two hair flowers and said, "Xiaoyu, this is what Sister gave us. Pick one quickly and we'll try it on later."
A plum blossom and a peach blossom.
Xie Yu picked a peach blossom and pinned it on Xiaoyu's head. "Xiaoyu is gentle, and the peach blossom adds more color."
"Xiao Yu, I told you to pick what you like, why did you pick it for me?" Xiao Yu said with a pout.
Xie Yu put on the plum blossom and asked, "I like both of them. Xiaoyu is suitable for peach blossoms, and I am suitable for plum blossoms. Do you think I look good wearing them?"
Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and said, "It looks good, very good!"
Here, Song Yuehua carried eight loads of water to fill the water tank, and then went back to work on reclaiming the land.
With yesterday’s experience, I know how to save some energy today, and I even have enough energy to cook at noon.
One dish is stir-fried meat with black fungus, one is eggplant with hot peppers, one is stir-fried green beans, and one is braised bacon with carrots.
Xie Wenwu smelled the food and his mouth was watering. "Master, how come you have so many tricks? Otherwise, why don't you teach me how to cook? Then I can teach my mother when I get home."
Xie Yu also encouraged, "This is a good idea. If big brother learns it, he can make it for himself in the future. Now he can make it for us."
Song Yuehua said helplessly, "Okay, let's eat first. If you really want to learn, just watch from the side. You will learn it after watching it twice."
After the meal, Xie Yu took out three taels of silver and gave it to Song Yuehua.
"Sister Song, this is the meal money for my brother and me. Dad said that my brother is a glutton. He eats at your place every day, and half of your rice goes into his stomach. If three taels of silver is not enough, I will make up for it next month."
Song Yuehua was unwilling to accept it.
The two children did not eat for free, as they helped her with work every day.
Whether the brother and sister are here or not, I still eat the same things, but I just make a little more. Even if Xie Wenwu eats a lot, half of the rice goes into his stomach...
Well, that’s not too much of an exaggeration.
Xie Wenwu can really eat more than her.
"Sister Song, just accept it," Xie Yu said coquettishly.
"Otherwise, Dad won't let us eat at your place. If I can't eat the food you cook, I'll be miserable. You've made my taste buds picky, so you have to take responsibility."
Song Yuehua really wasn't being polite, but she couldn't stand Xie Yu's whining as he held her in his arms.
So, he accepted one ounce of silver and said, "One ounce of silver is enough for me, and you can take the rest back to your father."
"Sister Song, don't worry about taking advantage of us. We eat rice and meat every day. Uncle San has helped to calculate that three taels of silver is not a lot."
