Since no one goes out in the morning, there is no need to eat anything too oily or watery. In addition to stewing a bowl of egg custard for Shen Yajuan, Shui Jianguo cooked egg and millet porridge for his mother.
Others are corn crumbs porridge with steamed sweet potatoes and multigrain nests.
When Shen Yajuan heard the knock on the door, she didn't see what her savior looked like, because the old lady went out to bring the bowl in.
Seeing the fragrant egg custard, she was really moved and finished it quickly.
The old lady said, "You must not be full. I'll serve you some more cornmeal porridge. Do you think that's okay?"
"No, I don't have a big appetite and I've been hungry for a long time. There's no need to eat too much at once."
"Hey, the little girl knows a lot."
"My grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He told me."
The old lady nodded: "Then you lie down and recuperate. I'll go out for breakfast."
"Okay, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay. Since my eldest grandson saved you, I can't ignore you. Having a life is better than anything else."
After everyone had breakfast, the seven brothers began to watch their sister's daily life again, and Liu Xuemei had nothing to do with her sons.
Fortunately, my daughter is well-behaved and was not frightened by her brothers. When he was only a few days old, he would look at whoever was holding him.
The old lady also came to see her daughter and discussed with her: "Xuemei, give that girl a set of your old coats. She doesn't even have decent clothes, so she has to go out."
People in the Shui family love to be clean. They have a hut in the backyard and have no habit of solving physical problems in the house.
So it is necessary to give Shen Yajuan a set of clothes.
"Okay, Brother Qing, take out my little floral outfit and give it to mother. I'm old and not suitable for wearing such fancy clothes anymore."
"Hey." Shui Shangqing obediently opened the cabinet and took out the clothes. They were well preserved. Although they were old clothes, they were thick and warm.
From the conversations between several brothers, Shui Bingyue pieced together the fact that the eldest brother had rescued a girl.
According to the writing method in the drawing books she had read before, this was considered a hero saving a beauty. What's more, the eldest brother is so handsome, and ordinary girls are not worthy of him.
Shui Bingyue really likes her eldest brother and has the best impression of him. As she thought about it, she smiled toothlessly at the elder brother who was holding her.
Shui Jianguo happily tapped her little nose with his finger: "We, Bingyue, like our eldest brother the most. You smile so happily. I really hope you can grow up quickly. Then I can hear you call me eldest brother, and I can give you You bought candies and ate them."
Shui Bingyue moved her mouth, but could only make a whining sound, unable to say what she wanted to say. In addition to being mentally mature, everything else must follow normal rules.
Shui Shangqing took his eldest son to discuss the house: "Jianguo, now that our family has money, I want to build a separate house for you. After all, our place is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many homesteads."
"However, I am still studying in the city and I have built a house but cannot live in it. People should guess whether our family is lucky. Why not build another row of houses in the backyard so that the seven of us brothers can live in it."
Shui Shangqing looked at his other sons and asked, "What do you think?"
Jianjun, the third child, agreed with his eldest brother: "Our family will always be together and we will build a house in the backyard."
"Yes, we want to be together forever." Several others said the same.
"Okay, then when the spring thaws, we'll hire someone to help build a house. Let you all have your own room."
After all, no matter how careful the family is, others will see it. Spend the money and no one will care about it.
When the other brothers went back to their rooms to study, Xiao Qi was still lying next to her sister, whispering: "Sister, I heard that goat milk is delicious. I also want to try what it tastes like."
Shui Bingyue had drank cow's milk before, but she had never tasted goat's milk. Since Xiao Qi likes her so much, she is also willing to help this little brother realize his wish.
So, when everyone fell asleep, Shui Bingyue's soul left her body, controlled the milky goat and took its lamb down the mountain, and knocked on the wooden door of her house.
Shui Shangqing came out quickly and asked, "Who is knocking on the door?"
No one responded, only the sound of the horns hitting the wooden door. He could only open the door in a defensive manner.
When he saw three sheep, one big, two small, standing in front of him, he felt very surprised. What was even more amazing was that they entered the barn obediently.
He quickly found a hemp rope, tied the ewe to the stake, closed the door and went back to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, I confirmed again that the three sheep were indeed staying in the barn. Could it be that it's too cold in the mountains?
When Xiao Qi saw the goat, she shouted excitedly: "Great, my wish has come true. Grandma, I want to drink goat milk."
The second child grabbed his younger brother and asked in a low voice: "What does it mean that your wish has come true?"
"Well, yesterday, you all went back to the house to study. I told my sister that I wanted to drink goat's milk. Today, there are goats at our house. My sister is a little fairy and can help you realize your wish."
"Jianli, don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten everything you learned in school? It's best for your sister not to say anything. Otherwise, everyone will come to snatch her."
Xiao Qi nodded obediently: "I understand, I won't talk nonsense." After all, my sister is the most important, and I can't let others take her away because of me.
The old lady squeezed a small pot of goat's milk, added water, and tea leaves and boiled it. After all, without adding something else, most people can’t stand the smell of goat’s milk.
The brothers tasted a few mouthfuls but found they were not interested, so the rest went into Xiao Qi's belly. In this way, goat milk became Xiao Qi's exclusive possession, and his body became stronger and stronger.
Shui Bingyue wanted to taste goat milk, but no one would feed her this. After all, Liu Xuemei had enough milk and she couldn't finish it.
In just half a month, she became a lot bigger than when she was born. My arms have become so fleshy.
Shen Yajuan's leg injury has also improved a lot. I have met all seven brothers. Naturally, he has the best impression of Shui Jianguo, he is his lifesaver after all.
I also sat with everyone during lunch. The old lady asked her long ago if she wanted to go home? Or find a relative to pick her up.
But I don't know what the girl's difficulties are, so she just shakes her head. It seems that he doesn't really want to go home.
Ever since she was able to walk, she always did a housework within her capacity, fearing that everyone would chase her away, and also fearing that she would always be freeloading.
Shui Bingyue has also met this girl several times, and from her appearance, she is a promising person. But her marriage was not here, so she didn't think of ways to drive him away.
Although the fortune teller cannot predict the fate of relatives, he can look at the fate of outsiders. Shen Yajuan tolerated her staying because she was harmless and no trouble.
