The bragging has been going on for a long time, but I don’t know when the clay pot rice became a mess.
Shen Cui gritted her teeth and used a rice spoon to stir the casserole. Fortunately, the rice and vegetables on the top were not mushy, but the rice at the bottom of the pot had turned black.
Chen Cui was a little discouraged. She had read a lot of time-travel novels, in which the time-travelling heroine could just cook a few delicious dishes and could even scare the ancients.
She failed twice in a row and didn't know what went wrong.
The fat guy next to her had his legs numb from squatting. He followed Shen Cui like a little tail, eagerly waiting for food.
Chen Cui scooped out the rice and vegetables that were not burnt and divided them into two small bowls.
But anyone who has cooked knows that once something in the pot is burnt, the burnt smell will spread everywhere, and the taste of the rice on top will naturally be affected.
"Eat something first to fill your mood... no, fill your stomach." Shen Cui was embarrassed, "I'll make you something else later."
Mu Erpang was no longer paying attention to what she said. He took the bowl and the spoon, found a small stool to sit on, and started eating!
Shen Cui saw that the mood value above his head increased by +5, +5, and soon it returned to full value!
After finishing the last bite of rice in the small bowl, Mu Erpang ate the sticky rice grains on the spoon reluctantly.
"Mom, you're not lying! This is so delicious, I've never eaten anything like it before!"
Seeing his satisfied look, Shen Cui tasted the rice in her bowl doubtfully - it smelled very burnt! Disgusting!
I understand, this child is simply easy to raise!
Come to think of it, after Erpang was born, the Mu family became headed by the original owner, Chen Cuihua.
Although there is a big iron pot at home, I am reluctant to add oil to cook, so we usually eat boiled and stewed dishes at home.
Moreover, there are more vegetables and less meat, and the eggs have to be counted before eating.
Although Chen Cui knew that she should be frugal, it was difficult for her to change the modern habits all at once. For example, she would only put sausages and bacon in rice during the Chinese New Year.
So Mu Erpang had no complaints about her cooking skills and he was so happy and satisfied while eating!
Infected by his emotions, Shen Cui also smiled unconsciously.
The frustration in her heart dissipated, Shen Cui put the pots and bowls in the sink, turned around and said, "We've already eaten, let's go, let's continue reading!"
Mu Erpang:! ! !
The smile on Xiaopang's face suddenly collapsed. Mu Erpang looked at her pitifully with a pursed mouth, protesting silently.
"Okay, let's just read for a while, and then we can rest when the sun goes down."
There were no electric lights in that era, so you had to light lamps to study at night. If you were not careful, you would become nearsighted.
Without glasses, it would be a big problem if I hurt my eyes.
Of course, Mu Yunchuan, who has the halo of the male protagonist, does not count. He has been studying hard for more than ten years, and his eyesight is still intact.
It was only half an hour away from evening.
Mu Erpang now had some idea of time and felt that it was only a short while. His expression became better.
Soon it was evening, and without Mu Erpang saying anything, Shen Cui put the book away.
After putting it away, the mother and son lay down on the kang together, obviously very tired.
Chen Cui wanted to boil some hot water and take a hot bath before going to bed. After all, she had been here for several days and hadn't had a proper bath yet.
Which modern person can tolerate this?
But the wind started blowing outside again, howling, and it sounded cold and creepy.
Shen Cui hesitated for a long time, but finally got up, boiled half a pot of hot water, and soaked her feet with Mu Erpang.
After soaking his feet, Mu Erpang fell asleep immediately. Chen Cui also felt her eyelids were heavy, so she crawled into her own bed at the other end of the kang.
In the middle of the night, between half asleep and half awake, Shen Cui heard a system prompt.
She opened her eyes slightly and saw a message pop up on the luminous light screen.
[System Announcement: The main mission has been launched and the system will be upgraded soon.] The details are as follows…】
Chen Cui was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, but she still forced herself to stay awake and finished reading ten lines at a glance.
In short, because she chose Mu Erpang as the training object, the system gained some energy and was about to upgrade.
The upgrade time can be as short as three days or as long as ten days.
Although the time is uncertain, during the system upgrade, Shen Cui can still complete the tasks that have been issued and consume in the mall.
Therefore, the system just informed Chen Cui as a routine matter.
After reading it, Shen Cui went back to sleep.
The mother and son agreed to get up early and study the next day, but somehow they ended up sleeping until dawn.
After waking up, Shen Cui looked at Mu Erpang, and Mu Erpang looked at her. The two sleepy-eyed people stared at each other for a few breaths. Finally, Shen Cui got up with her neck hunched, put on her coat, and went to the kitchen to boil water.
Only after the hot water was boiled did Mu Erpang get up from the couch to wash up, then sit down at the table on the kang, eagerly waiting for breakfast.
Of course, Chen Cui was still the one who made breakfast. Having had the failed experiences of making sugar-coated eggs and clay pot rice, she did not try anything difficult this time. She just cooked a pot of white porridge and ate it with the leftover pickles at home.
Mu Erpang is not picky about food and he eats a bowl of white porridge cleanly.
Then there was a whole day of reading. On this day, Chen Cui taught the "Hundred Family Names", which was easier to read than the "Three Character Classic".
After one morning, Shen Cui had completed 2/3 of the system task.
On the third day, the system still hadn't completed the upgrade, but Shen Cui accompanied Mu Erpang to finish reading the last volume of "Thousand Character Classic".
Later, the mission rewards were calculated. This time, there were no incredible props, only 100 shopping points like the novice mission.
However, Shen Cui was not dissatisfied. After all, the real reward - attribute growth - had already been obtained during the study process.
After reading the three books, Mu Erpang's attributes increased by a total of 8 points.
Of course, these 8 points are not all added to the IQ and memory, which are the most important for studying. Instead, as the system said, they are full of randomness, and half of them are added to the EQ.
This also successfully changed Mu Erpang's system comment to "His mental ability is equivalent to that of a nine-year-old child in this world."
Mu Erpang just turned ten, and his current mental level is completely in line with his age. This rate of growth makes Shen Cui very satisfied!
During the system upgrade, no new tasks were released. It was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the sound of firecrackers outside was heard one after another. The festive atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger. Chen Cui gave the child a holiday, saying that she would take him to the city to play and buy some New Year's goods.
What teenager doesn’t like to play?
Chen Cui thought that Mu Erpang would be so happy that he would jump three feet high at this time, but Mu Erpang did not show the reaction she expected. He shook his head and said he didn't want to go.
"It's so cold outside and it's going to snow. What if I get sick from the wind?" Fatty Mu lay listlessly on the kang, looking very uncomfortable.
Shen Cuixin said that you are completely worrying too much. With your gifted physique, even if you are sick, you will be fine after a good sleep.
But seeing him like this, Shen Cui felt a little guilty and didn't say what she was thinking.
She has indeed pushed her child too hard these past two days. Thinking back to when she first started school in her previous life, her primary school teachers also used entertaining and educational methods to increase children's enthusiasm for school.
Unfortunately, Chen Cui didn't know those things, and didn't know how to make a book like Sanbaiqian entertaining and educational, so she could only accompany him to learn to read and write step by step.
Reading like this is naturally boring, so Mu Erpang's mood was not very high for two consecutive days, fluctuating between 70 and 80.
But just to maintain this threshold, Shen Cui almost cooked all the food in the house for him. That’s why there is a saying that one has to go to the city to buy New Year’s goods.
Chen Cui also wanted to take Mu Erpang out for some fun at this juncture to help him relieve his negative emotions.
"So what do you want to do? Do you want to set off firecrackers? Or do you want to play something else? Mom will accompany you."
Mu Erpang still shook his head and said, "I just want mom to heat the kang a little bit more."
Shen Cui: ...
But in the end that day, Mu Erpang still got off the kang.
Because the original body's sister-in-law, Li, came over again.
She had said before that she would find a way to persuade her mother-in-law and return the silver to Chen Cui.
She felt a little embarrassed to come here this time because Zheng had been back for a few days and was still angry, so she didn't dare to persuade her.
This time, it was Zheng who said at home that the New Year was approaching and it was time to bring Erpang over to liven up the atmosphere. She didn't mention Chen Cui at all.
Li came out to run errands. Before leaving, she wanted to go back to her room to get some silver and money to bring to the Shen family, but Zheng stared at her without blinking after she finished speaking, obviously guessing her little thoughts.
Li had no choice but to come empty-handed to help pass the message.
Chen Cui had never thought about going back to her parents' home for the New Year, so she was not disappointed. She just turned around and asked Mu Erpang what he thought.
After all, she was not a real member of the Shen family, but Mu Erpang was the real grandson of the Shen family, and Zheng really treated him very well, so there was no need to let a child be involved in the turmoil of adults.
However, Shen Cui did not expect that Mu Erpang would be willing to go - how could a lazy child who couldn't even muster the interest to go out and play be willing to go to his grandparents' house?
This surprised Shen Cui again. After hearing the news, Mu Erpang only struggled for a while and then slowly got up on his own.
The little thing was not willing to go out with her, but was happy to go to her grandparents' house. Shen Cui felt…somewhat sour in her heart.
Admittedly, she had only spent a short time with Erpang, but they were together day and night, and their fates were tied together by the system, so she truly regarded Mu Erpang as her own family.
In the past, Mu Erpang rarely got off the kang, and he was indeed fat and had difficulty moving, so every time he went out, his original self had to help him a lot.
This time, Chen Cui didn't help him get dressed, but only helped him pack a set of clothes for change.
The taste is only one aspect, the other is also to train him.
Mu Erpang, who had grown several years older mentally, had packed everything up after two quarters of an hour, and Shen Cui had also packed a small bag for him.
Mu Erpang slung the small bag over his shoulder and saw that his aunt Li was already waiting for him outside, so he immediately left the bedroom.
After walking out for just two steps, Mu Erpang quickly turned back, pinched Chen Cui's fingers, and said in his usual lazy tone: "Grandma always loves me. I will help mom talk to her. She will definitely not be angry. Then I will pick up mom to go to grandma's house. If grandma is still angry, I will secretly send her food... You stay at home and be good, understand?"
