When Yi Xiaoqiu was full, he had eaten all the rice, but there were quite a few dishes left.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the dishes on the plate with a look of disappointment on his face. "It seems my cooking skills are not good enough. There are still so many dishes left."
Before Guo Xiaochuan could say anything, Xiaocao rubbed her stomach and said crisply, "Sister, the food you cooked is so delicious that I can't bear to eat it."
"Yeah," Guo Xiaochuan nodded frantically.
For these children who had never eaten anything delicious, the food cooked by Yi Xiaoqiu was extremely good.
Unfortunately, Yi Xiaoqiu, who has been spoiled by the housekeeper, cannot be coaxed by the words of two children. She knows her own weight.
"Then let's save this for tomorrow!" Yi Xiaoqiu was about to clean up the dishes when Xiaochuan snatched them away.
"Sister, let me wash the dishes!" Guo Xiaochuan saw a trace of nervousness flash across Yi Xiaoqiu's face.
He is not afraid of doing things, but he is afraid of having nothing to do here.
He always feels uneasy if he does nothing.
Yi Xiaoqiu knew a little bit about his psychology, so she didn't be polite to him.
"Hmm, from now on, I'll give you the job of washing dishes!"
Unexpectedly, Guo Xiaochuan was pleasantly surprised. "Sister, I can cook. I cook all the meals at home. My sister and I are away for the time being, so let me cook!"
"That's so unfair. You're still a child!" Yi Xiaoqiu was polite, but she was still a little moved in her heart.
She was very busy preparing this meal today.
If it weren’t for Guo Xiaochuan’s help, who knows how long it would have taken!
Alas! She was really spoiled by the housekeeper.
It seems that I will never be able to leave the housekeeper in this life.
Sure enough, Guo Xiaochuan puffed out his chest.
"Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I'm thirteen years old today, and my sister is seven. We can work. I'm very grateful that you can take us in. If you need anything, just let me do it."
Yi Xiaoqiu really didn't expect that Xiaocao was actually seven years old. He really couldn't tell.
However, Yi Xiaoqiu knew that people nowadays like to use the lunar age as the lunar calendar, so in fact, when a brother and sister are two years old, one is 12 years old and the other is 6 years old.
"Well, then you can do some housework!"
Yi Xiaoqiu really thought that it was okay for a teenager to do housework, and besides, she didn't have much to do in her house.
First of all, she washed and brushed her teeth in the cabin on the farm, and her clothes were washed by the housekeeper.
This winter, no one hangs clothes outside to dry, and they can't be dried even if they are hung out. Yi Xiaoqiu doesn't need to carry a wooden basin outside for no reason and pretend to be washing clothes in front of others.
Come on, we eat in here during the day, and there is really no place to clean in the house except for the sleeping area.
Moreover, when the housekeeper adds firewood at night, he will also help clean the house.
Yi Xiaoqiu really has nothing to worry about.
But now there are two outsiders in the house, and there are still a lot of things she needs to clean up.
Just eating and cleaning the stove is a big task.
Now that Xiaochuan has taken over the job, to be honest, Yi Xiaoqiu is very relieved.
As for letting the child do the work, Yi Xiaoqiu didn't feel any burden at all. Although Guo Xiaochuan was short, he was already thirteen years old, not three years old.
Doing some housework is totally fine.
"When you're done cleaning up, go get some sleep up front and come back for dinner later."
While Guo Xiaochuan was cleaning up the dishes, Yi Xiaoqiu found the bedding he had borrowed from Yang Man.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't plan to use this set of bedding. Although the housekeeper took it apart, washed it, and changed the quilt cover after it was brought in, Yi Xiaoqiu still felt uncomfortable.
But I can’t bear to throw it away, so I’ll give it to Guo Xiaochuan and his sister!
She had seen the little things the two siblings had. Not to mention the clothes, the quilt was small and thin, just right for them.
As soon as Guo Xiaochuan finished cleaning, a set of bedding was stuffed into his arms.
"I don't need a nap." Guo Xiaochuan wished he could stay here all the time to remind himself that he was not dreaming.
He feels very insecure now.
"I want to sleep even if you don't. Be good and go!" Yi Xiaoqiu looked at his skinny face and subconsciously thought of him as a child of eight or nine years old.
These two children look very unhealthy. Eating is one thing, but they also need to get more sleep to keep their spirits up.
Guo Xiaochuan blushed, "Oh."
He took the quilt and went out with a red face.
Xiaocao had just slept for the whole morning. Now, after finishing her meal, she was looking around in her new clothes.
"Sister Yi, can I go out and play for a while?"
Maybe because he had eaten his fill, dressed warmly, and had a good sleep, Xiaocao's face looked a little rosier.
People are also a lot more lively.
"Go! Don't get your clothes wet. If you feel cold, come back quickly!"
If Xiaocao was really only four years old, Yi Xiaoqiu might still be a little worried about her running around alone.
Just now when she was having dinner, she found out that Xiaocao was already seven years old, so she no longer had to worry about anything.
It was just four o'clock in the afternoon when Guo Xiaochuan came with his sister.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't have to do anything about cooking, Guo Xiaochuan took care of it all.
Yi Xiaoqiu only needs to get things and add some oil and salt, and he doesn't need to do anything else.
If Guo Xiaochuan hadn't habitually been reluctant to add oil and salt to the dishes, Yi Xiaoqiu wouldn't even have to add the oil.
I had braised pork for lunch and steamed it with rice in the afternoon.
Yi Xiaoqiu felt that the steamed meat was too soft and greasy, so she gave it all to the two siblings.
The two siblings ate with their mouths full of oil and looked very satisfied.
At night, Guo Xiaochuan went to the front yard, while Xiaocao stayed in Yi Xiaoqiu's room and slept with her.
Guo Xiaochuan went to the front yard and was teased by Xie Yuyu.
"Xiaochuan, what did you eat at your sister Yi's place?"
Guo Xiaochuan tasted the braised pork and said, "We also eat cabbage and sweet potatoes."
Xie Yu laughed twice, "I smell meat. Could it be that I smelled it wrong?"
Guo Xiaochuan said calmly, "Maybe Xie Zhiqing wants to eat meat?"
Two days passed in a flash, and the Guo Xiaochuan siblings had already adapted to the life at the educated youth site.
Yi Xiaoqiu plans to go to the county town.
She never thought that in just one day, she would be so busy that she was dizzy.
I have promised to let Guo Xiaochuan and his sister go to school, so the books have to be prepared.
It is not spring yet, so take advantage of this little time to learn quickly. It will be too late to prepare when the busy farming season starts in spring.
Going to the county town to ask for a letter of introduction, Yi Xiaoqiu thought that Shen Ruofei often went to the county town, and must have his own way. However, it would be more reliable to ask the captain for a letter of introduction when he occasionally went to the county town.
Unfortunately, she didn't have many acquaintances in the county town, and to get a letter of introduction for visiting relatives, she needed an acquaintance there to receive the letter.
Yi Xiaoqiu simply went to find Shen Ruofei for this matter.
"Do you have any reliable acquaintances in the county? I need to ask the captain for a letter of introduction for a visit to my relatives."
"You're going to the county town? I have an aunt in the county town, you can find her when you get there." Shen Ruofei said while squinting her eyes.
Yi Xiaoqiu understood immediately.
What aunt? I guess she is her next home!
"What's her name? Where does she live? How can I find her?"
In fact, Yi Xiaoqiu was a little unsure. Since he was born, he had been hanging around Yushan Xishe and had never been to other places.
Besides, she has no advantages but a lot of disadvantages.
Face blindness, directionality, all these problems are present at the same time.
No wonder she was just a cannon fodder in the beginning.
