Regardless of whether Lu Duotian agreed or not, Su Ruyi took the egg and placed it under the shade of a tree.
"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you!"
After thanking him, he took the basket and walked to the backyard, looking completely convinced.
Lu Duotian stayed at his door for a while. He was unwilling to go outside. Maybe it was because he had never been out since he injured his leg. He actually felt that it was dangerous and scary outside.
However, Dan'er was sitting alone under the tree, and Su Ruyi was nowhere to be seen.
Finally, he moved out from the threshold, supported the ground with his palms, and slowly moved sideways to the shade of the tree, dragging his weak legs on the dirt floor with difficulty.
Su Ruyi, who was hiding behind the wall, suddenly felt regretful.
She also had good intentions. She wanted Lu Duotian to exercise more so that he could walk out of the dark and narrow room.
But they ignored the fact that he was physically disabled and could not walk normally. For him, walking like this would cause psychological pain more than physical pain, right?
All my self-esteem was lost in those immobile legs.
It would be nice if there was a chair at home.
Su Ruyi thought, no longer worried that the egg would be left unattended, and turned around and entered the vegetable field.
There are ten people in the family, and the worryingly growing vegetable patch cannot fully manage the family's vegetables. Fortunately, the children will pull some wild vegetables back when they are pulling pigweed.
There are vegetables to eat when the weather is hot, but it’s hard to say in winter.
Nothing can grow in the cold weather in winter, so every household starts drying vegetables in other seasons and saves them for winter consumption. Now is the season when all kinds of vegetables are abundant, so it’s time to dry them.
But in the Lu family's vegetable garden... it's a bit difficult to prepare winter vegetables.
Su Ruyi dug around in the bean field and found a few tubes of yellowed beans.
Don't use more, just use these tubes as experiments.
I carried the empty vegetable basket to the backyard, carried it back empty, and put it back against the wall.
He said hello loudly under the shade of the tree, got into the kitchen, and closed the rickety kitchen door.
Su Ruyi entered the space, peeled the carob seeds out of the pods, dug a few small holes in the backyard and buried them. Because the soil was wet, she didn't water them and stepped on them a few times.
Then he went to the tree and put the bucket into the well and brought up a bucket of water.
She was originally worried that she wouldn't be able to lift it, but she didn't expect to worry too much. This large bucket of water could only be carried in her hand, and carrying two more buckets at the same time would not be a big problem.
Su Ruyi suddenly understood the reason why Zhang and Liu Cuier couldn't defeat the original owner together. This woman's strength was not ordinary!
He lifted the water out of the space, rinsed the only iron pot in the house with water, then lifted the bucket and poured half of the bucket into it.
We don’t have a kettle at home, so we use pots for everything, including boiling water.
On this hot day, drinking cold drinks is the most comfortable. However, Su Ruyi came from modern times and was used to boiling cold water before drinking it. What if there was something unclean in it?
While stuffing firewood into the stove, she thought, maybe the water in the space is different from the water outside, and drinking it raw would be healthier and more effective?
Wait for two days, wait until you are more accustomed to this world and your new body.
Flint is used to light fires at home, and two seemingly ordinary stones can produce sparks when struck.
Prepare the fire starter in advance. Place the thatch at the mouth of the stove and strike the flint against the thatch. After the thatch is burned, push it into the stove and press it with fine firewood. It will burn quickly.
Fortunately, she had inherited the memory of the original owner, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to light the fire.
This iron pot boils water very quickly, and it starts bubbling after a while.
Su Ruyi took out the unburned firewood and inserted it into the ashes under the stove.
Scoop out two bowls of water.
The water that had just been boiled was so hot that she almost dropped the bowl on the floor.
He took the wooden basin, scooped out half a basin of cold water from the water jar, and put the two bowls into the basin to cool down.
When the water was cold, she stood by the door and observed the two people under the tree in the courtyard.
Dan'er was minding his own business playing in the mud, while Lu Duotian leaned against the tree and stared at his legs motionless.
She exhaled. The problem in this family was not just the economy. Because of the original owner's interference, the family was distraught and unable to stay together.
She returned to the counter and touched the bowl with her hand. It was almost ready to drink. Unfortunately, there was no sugar at home. Just add some sugar.
She brought a bowl out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.
"Brother, you are thirsty, drink some water."
Su Ruyi knelt down and brought a bowl of water to Lu Duotian.
Lu Duotian seemed to be frightened, and kept shrinking back. He raised a dirty and rough hand and shook it in panic.
Su Ruyi did not take back her hand and said with a smile: "It's all here, drink some."
A little forcefully, he thrust the water bowl into the raised hand.
He turned around and went to give water to Dan'er, but not to mention giving water to Dan'er. As soon as this silly boy saw her turning over neatly, he crawled away somewhere else, screaming as if there was a wolf chasing behind her.
Su Ruyi: "..."
San San stopped, turned around and smiled bitterly at Lu Duotian: "Brother, I have to trouble you to give Dan'er some water, he...is afraid of me."
Lu Duotian was still frozen while holding the water. When he heard Su Ruyi's words, his hands shook and some of the hot water in the water bowl spilled out.
Su Ruyi: "Brother, what's wrong? It's too hot?"
Lu Duotian shook his head and drank the entire bowl of water into his stomach. Then he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, put the empty bowl on the ground, and stretched out his hand: "Give it to me..."
His movements were quite hasty, and he only glanced up at her quickly.
His eyes were downcast and filled with worry and fear.
Su Ruyi was stunned and felt a little weird. Lu Duotian seemed to be afraid of feeding his child.
Lu Duotian took the water and held it in his hand. He rarely said, "I'll hold it first. I'll feed him when he's thirsty."
Su Ruyi touched her eyebrows with her hand and stared at Lu Duotian's legs for a while.
Lu Duotian's pants were very dirty and torn, probably because they were dragged on the ground often and not changed in time.
But the good news is that Su Ruyi can see that although most of the meridians on his legs are dim, they are not completely blocked. Maybe there is still hope?
"Then I'll excuse you, brother, I'll go out for a walk."
Lu Duotian couldn't help but look up at the woman again. He hadn't looked up at his sister-in-law for a long time. He always felt that she was fierce, and her eyes, nose, and mouth were all scary.
But when I looked up at her today, she was smiling all over her face. It wasn't scary, but it made people feel awkward.
Moreover, since this morning, she has said "trouble" to herself several times, right?
There was nothing like the words that could come out of her mouth.
Maybe Mom and Cui'er's analysis was right, and this woman was thinking of something bad.
He himself rarely eats or drinks on weekdays, because it is still inconvenient to rely on just these two hands. If it can be less troublesome, it will be less troublesome.
When he heard Su Ruyi say that he wanted to feed Dan'er, he remembered his wife's complaints.
There must be rat poison in this water, right?
It's hard to say, didn't she just close the door when she entered the kitchen?
If there was nothing wrong with him, why would he close the door?
This water cannot be given to Dan'er to drink.
If there is really a problem, it would be best for me to die as a loser instead of killing my brother's only child.
As soon as Su Ruyi walked out of the yard, Lu Duotian picked up the bowl and drank a bowl of water in one gulp.
It would be great if these two bowls of water could send him away.
He thought pessimistically.
