Since I have helped, I am not looking for any reward.
Old Mrs. Yu was very experienced and wise. If you ignored the way she stared at the jade products, you would actually believe what she said.
She smiled kindly, took out a few rings and jade bracelets from inside and handed them over.
"I don't dare take these things out now. Otherwise, Ziwen and I wouldn't have to endure such hardships..."
Ruan Mengmeng was very excited but she didn't show it on her face. She wanted to refuse but Old Lady Yu spoke again.
"If you don't accept it, we, the grandparents and grandchildren, won't dare to accept the food you send us..."
Ruan Mengmeng had no choice but to take the things and put them into her bag, actually putting them directly into the space.
He looked at the grandfather and grandson and warned;
"Eat your food first. I'll come see you when I have time..."
It was getting late, and Ruan Mengmeng and Ruan Zilong had been running around all day, so it was time to go home.
"Okay, okay...it's time to go back!"
Old Lady Yu looked at the sky and agreed;
Yu Ziwen couldn't bear to part with the two siblings, especially Ruan Zilong. They were about the same age, and in a short while, they became like real brothers.
"You will come to see me again, right? Sister Ruan..."
"Of course, don't worry! I'll be here soon! You have to listen to grandma, eat well, and grow up quickly so that you can protect grandma..."
Ruan Mengmeng touched his head, comforting and encouraging him;
"I will, sis."
Yu Ziwen clenched his fist and said firmly;
……………….
When I left Yu's house, the sun had already set and the sky began to darken. It would be dark soon.
The two quickened their pace and headed home.
A little over thirty minutes later, the two arrived home safely, and the sky had become completely dark.
When they got home, they didn't want to cook anymore. Ruan Mengmeng took out two cups of millet porridge and a few vegetarian buns, and the two of them ate with relish.
After dinner, Ruan Mengmeng lay on the recliner, too lazy to move.
Just like his worried old mother, his younger brother Ruan Zilong made her a cup of hawthorn tea to help her digest food, and then ran into the kitchen to boil water for her bath.
By the time the two finished their shower, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Tired after a day of work, they fell directly onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly on their buttocks, and they slowly got up and washed up.
Ruan Zilong cooked some corn porridge, and the two of them ate a big bowl each with pickles.
With nothing to do, Ruan Mengmeng saw that the sun was very strong, so she decided to take apart all the quilts and bedding in the house, wash them, and dry them in the sun.
She moved out all the quilts and bedding in the house.
First, use scissors to take it apart, throw the quilt cover into the washing machine in the space for cleaning, and then start drying it after cleaning.
Put the cotton inside in the sun and dry it together.
Wait until the cotton is fluffy and soft, and the quilt lining and quilt cover are dry before putting them away together.
In the yard, he spread two straw mats, sat on them and started sewing.
After a busy morning, I finally finished tidying up all the quilts.
Looking at the brand new quilt, she felt a great sense of accomplishment. She touched it and found it warm and comfortable. She sighed in her heart: All the work was not in vain!
After drinking a glass of warm water handed to her by her younger brother Ruan Zilong, she stretched herself and looked at the blue sky, feeling extremely comfortable.
The two of them put away their things, and Ruan Mengmeng prepared to make some delicious fried noodles with soybean paste for lunch.
Take out a piece of pork belly, peel it, wash it, cut it into slices, then into strips, then into dices, finally add green onions and start chopping the meat...
With the power of strength, she transferred the power to her hands, picked up the kitchen knife, and started chopping the meat with a "bang bang bang" sound!
In a short while, the pork turned into a pile of minced meat under her knife.
Add lard into the pot, and when the oil is hot, stir-fry the minced meat until fragrant. Then take out the soybean paste from the space, add water to mix and stir-fry with the minced meat.
Ruan Zilong, who was sitting in front of the stove adding firewood, smelled a burst of fragrance, his eyes lit up and he stood up, staring into the pot and sniffing, and said;
"It smells so good! Sister..."
"Of course! This is my sister's favorite noodle soup! Eat more later..."
Ruan Mengmeng praised proudly;
Ruan Mengmeng was afraid that it wouldn’t be enough, so she cooked three big bowls of noodles.
Pour the red meat sauce on it, and a fragrant aroma spread out, making both of them drool.
There are also shredded carrots and cucumbers as side dishes, and the taste is amazing!
Ruan Mengmeng ate a bowl and a half in one breath, and his younger brother Ruan Zi ate a bowl.
There was half a bowl left, and Ruan Mengmeng didn't want to waste it. She put the remaining sauce and vegetables away and took them out when she wanted to eat them later.
The task of washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen was given to my younger brother Ruan Zilong. Ruan Zilong took the task and went to work happily.
Ruan Mengmeng was left alone. She lay down, drank a cup of tea, rested for a while, and took out the cloth she had bought from the space.
She took out scissors, a measuring tape, a sewing kit, and a paintbrush from the space, and waited for her younger brother Ruan Zilong to clean up the kitchen before waving her hand.
"Little brother is coming..."
Ruan Zilong didn't understand what she meant, and after hesitating for a moment, he wiped the water stains on his hands and walked over;
Ruan Mengmeng squatted down and began to measure with a tape measure: shoulder width, waist circumference, shirt length, trouser length. After measuring, she put away the tape measure and nodded.
"alright.."
Only then did Ruan Zilong understand that his sister was going to make clothes for him.
Looking at his busy sister, he felt a little distressed. He pinched the corner of his clothes and said;
"Sister, I'm not in a hurry!"
"I have nothing to do and the weather is nice, so I'll make two sets for you first. We can do more later when we have time!"
Ruan Mengmeng looked up at the sky. The sun was very big and a little hot. The sunlight was just right, perfect for handicrafts.
Ruan Zilong never refuted his sister's words and nodded;
"What can I do to help?"
Ruan Mengmeng felt his cuteness and pinched his baby fat; she couldn't bear to reject him;
"Brother, help me press the fabric, I'll draw the pattern, and then cut the pattern..."
Ruan Zilong, who thought he was going to be rejected, suddenly felt involved after hearing this and said happily;
"Okay, sister..."
The brother and sister worked together and started to work on the cloth.
Ruan Mengmeng prepared to make a set of the popular Lenin suit for her younger brother, and also an ordinary suit similar to a shirt.
I don’t know how long it has been since I last used this old-fashioned sewing machine. It took me a long time to find how to start it.
After three and a half hours of hard work, it was finally accomplished.
Touching the fruits of her hard work, stitch by stitch, Ruan Mengmeng could only sigh that she was tired!
If it weren’t for the sewing machine, it would be even harder to sew a set by myself. Let alone three hours, it would take even three days to sew a set!
I picked up the finished clothes and let my younger brother try them on. They were neither too fat nor too thin, neither too long nor too short, just the right size.
Ruan Zilong touched the new clothes on his body, his eyes lit up with joy, and the corners of his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.
It made Ruan Mengmeng feel a little uncomfortable, it was really unbearable to watch. Is she really that happy?
