Everyone in the Qin family went to earn work points, even grandma Zhang Shuying went.
Only Yu You, her mother and son, and her mother-in-law Wang Yuerong, who had eye problems, were left.
"Grandma, the Japanese ginger my uncle brought is delicious. You should try it too."
Ningning's childish voice reached the yard.
Wang Yuerong shook her head.
"Grandma doesn't eat it, so you guys eat it. My uncle worked so hard to dig it up and thought of bringing it to you. You should thank my uncle."
"Xiaoyuan!"
Yu You walked into the house and said, "Mom and Dad told you not to go to work today, so just stay at your second sister's place and eat."
This is my first time being an older sister, so I have to take care of my younger brother.
I didn't expect that I would experience so many firsts after traveling through time. It was my first time as a wife, a mother, and a sister...
"Second sister, I'd better go home and eat."
He was actually very hungry, so he ate a piece of ginger on the mountain. His grandmother didn't let him eat lunch either.
"I have some millet here. Let's go to the mountain and have some more food."
Seeing that his second sister really wanted to keep him, Yu Yuan also wanted to have a taste of Xiaomi, so he finally did not object to his sister's proposal.
Seeing that her daughter and son were looking at her eagerly, Yu You waved her hand and took her brother, daughter and son up the mountain.
October is the harvest season in the mountains, but people were poor in those days, and every family wanted to move into the mountains.
The nearby hilltops were nearly flattened, so where could any good finds be found? After climbing for a while, the group stopped.
"Xiaoyuan, take An'an and Ningning here to dig wild vegetables. I'll go up and take a look."
"Second sister, don't worry, I will take good care of them."
There are no large wild animals in the mountains near the village, so it is very safe.
Yu You nodded and continued to climb up the path. She didn't see any living creatures along the way, and even if there were, she wouldn't catch them.
After walking for a distance and making sure that there was no one around, he slipped into the space.
He picked two of the smallest firewood chicken eggs to pretend to be pheasant eggs, and then went down the mountain.
The children had already picked a handful of wild shepherd's purse and wild chives.
"Pheasant eggs! Second sister, how come you are so lucky!"
The three children stared at the two eggs in Yu You's hand, their eyes shining.
The Qin family couldn't afford chickens, so they had no eggs to eat. The Yu family did have three chickens, but the eggs were all taken away by Old Lady Yu, so they didn't even know what they tasted like.
"Let's go home and I'll make dinner for you in the evening."
It was still early when they got home. Yu You put down his things and went to clean up.
The original body was truly filthy. The house hadn't been cleaned for years, and there was a faint stench the moment I entered. Things were thrown around, clothes weren't washed, and it was a complete mess.
Yu You asked Yu Yuan to play with the two children while he rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the house inside and out.
The quilt cover was also taken off, and all the clothes from all seasons except the one he was wearing were soaked in the wooden basin.
I swept the entire yard again, put everything in place, and then started washing clothes.
But he found that his family was so poor that they didn't even have soap.
I could only dig out some wood ash, soak and rub it, and rinse it twice before I could barely wash it clean and tie a rope with it.
The sun was setting and it was almost time to get off work. My mother-in-law had already started busying herself with cooking wild vegetable soup.
Yu You quickly took her in his arms: "Mom, your eyes are not in good condition, I will make dinner."
Wang Yuerong thought Yu You was going to cook a special meal for herself and her brother, so she stepped aside to help light the fire.
Yu You first picked out the bitter wild vegetables, boiled them in water, squeezed out the bitter juice, then added chopped wild garlic, wild onions and salt to make a cold dish.
Cook millet porridge, add chopped ginger, shepherd's purse and chopped wild onion, then add two beaten eggs and salt.
Everyone had just returned from work, and Yu You had already cooked a large pot of thick vegetable, egg, and millet porridge. With his younger brother in tow, there were ten of us in the family, so everyone got a large bowl.
Food was scarce these days, and everyone had a keen nose, so they could smell the fragrance from afar.
"Mom, what did you cook today? It smells so good?" Qin Zhiya ran to the stove and asked anxiously.
Wang Yuerong was speechless. She was stunned by Yu You's actions.
Yu You put in more than half a bowl of millet. And two eggs! He cooked a big pot, probably for the whole family, right?
"Xiaoya is back? I made porridge for everyone, hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
Yu You greeted.
Qin Zhiya lifted the lid of the pot in confusion and couldn't help swallowing.
When did my sister-in-law become so generous and speak so politely!
In the past, if there was any delicious food, she would hide it to herself, but today she took the initiative to make it for everyone.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
She hasn't eaten good food for a long time. The best meal at home in recent years is cornmeal porridge!
Each family member had a large bowl, and the two little ones sucked on the edge of the bowl, eating with relish.
Yu Yuan didn't even bother to raise his head.
Qin Zhidong was a 17-year-old boy who ate quickly. He finished his porridge in just a few gulps and then went to pick up some wild vegetables.
"This porridge is so fragrant, and the mixed wild vegetables are delicious too. Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing! Mom, you should let my sister-in-law take charge of the cooking from now on."
After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. Her sister-in-law was not a diligent person, so she must be angry.
There was silence at the dinner table.
"Okay, I'll cook for you when I'm free in the future." Yu You said with a smile.
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
Qin Zhidong shouted, and Yu You almost dropped the bowl in his hand.
Is it necessary to be so excited? It seems that the original owner has left a psychological shadow on the Qin family.
Yu You cleared his throat and planned to improve his character.
"I used to feel like my marriage was calculated, and I refused to accept it. Now I've figured it out. The past is over, and what can be changed is the future. I've decided to live a good life from now on!"
