After I cleaned myself up, I went to the kitchen and used a pressure cooker to make a pot of porridge to save time.
She came back too late from picking up eggs yesterday, so she took Li Wenxiu to the basement and didn't let her enter the house.
Most of the things here are modern. She doesn't plan to let people in here for the time being and will look at them later.
When the porridge was almost ready, I cut some green vegetables and cracked a few eggs into it.
Their family has not had a full meal for a long time. During this time, they have been eating wild vegetables and roots, and their stomachs must be very weak. They don't dare to let them eat too much now, so they should drink some porridge to nourish their stomachs first!
I took this time to get another bowl of noodles and prepare to make some steamed buns for lunch.
After packing these things, we left the space. It was already bright outside, and the elder brother's voice came from the yard.
"Mom, let's go to town now. When we get there, school will almost be over."
"Okay, I'll bring the water into the house, and you go call Mingzhe back and ask him to come back and look after your sister and brother-in-law."
Li Wenxiu was afraid that the old witch would find an opportunity to sell her daughter when she and Mingxuan were away, so she asked her younger son to guard her at home.
"Okay, mother, then I will go to the mountain to find my second brother now." He said as he walked out quickly.
As soon as Li Wenxiu lifted the two barrels, Ye Yutong opened the door and came out, "Mom, you and eldest brother are back."
After saying that, he looked at the wooden barrels filled with water. Each of the two old wooden barrels was filled with half a bucket of water. It was very turbid and had to settle before drinking.
"Tongtong, are you up? Your eldest brother and I are going to the town today. Let your second brother stay with you at home."
"Mom, how about I go with you? When the time comes, I beg my uncle to talk to my grandmother and ask him not to sell me."
Li Wenxiu knew that it would be more useful for Tongtong to cry and beg at the gate of the academy than for her to go.
But her daughter still had a wound on her head. It took almost an hour to walk from here to the town, and she was afraid that the child would not be able to bear it.
He coaxed: "Tongtong, don't go this time. Next time Mom takes you to play in the town, and the injury on your head hasn't healed yet, just rest at home! Your elder brother and I will go look for you." Your uncle is here to talk.”
Ye Yutong actually wanted to follow him to the town to see what the situation was like now.
In the memory of the original owner, he had only been to the town twice, when his father took his family there a few years ago.
Her only impression of the town was the fragrant and crispy sesame seed cakes her father bought for her, and she could not remember the rest.
She was going to escape soon. She was going to the town to see if there was anyone selling scooters? Buy a few more backpacks so that you can carry things when you are escaping, and the cart can pull the unconscious little husband.
They have nothing at home now. When the news of forced conscription comes down, how can they have time to buy these things?
Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Mom, the wound on my head is almost healed. I have been lying in bed these days and just want to go out for a walk. Just let me follow you!"
Li Wenxiu still wanted to refuse, but Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe came back from outside and heard what their sister said.
Ye Mingxuan said: "Mom, let my sister go with you. Although my sister has woken up, she still has such a big wound on her head. Let the doctor in town take a look today. If she gets tired from walking, I will carry her on my back." that is."
Li Wenxiu touched the wound on her daughter's head, nodded, and asked the doctor to take a look. If it was okay, she would be relieved.
"Okay, let's go then, Mingzhe, take good care of your brother-in-law at home. Don't dig wild vegetables this morning. When we come back, we will go up the mountain together."
Ye Mingzhe responded: "I know, mother."
Ye Yutong saw that the things in town were settled, so he returned to the room, closed the door, and took out the pot of porridge from the space. Thinking that there were not enough bowls at home, he took out a few more bowls.
He shouted toward the door, "Mom, eldest brother, second brother, you all come in."
Ye Mingzhe ran in first. He sniffed his nose and asked, "Sister, what is so fragrant?"
Ye Yutong opened the lid of the pressure cooker, took a spoon and poured porridge into several bowls. There was not even a table here, but the pots and bowls were placed on the ground.
"Second brother, this is the porridge given by the gods. Please call mother and eldest brother in. Let's eat first."
Ye Mingzhe looked at the pot of porridge with a keen eye, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Sister, you can keep it for yourself. We can just eat the wild vegetables."
"How can I finish eating such a big pot? The gods have said that I can give it to you to eat. As long as you don't tell anyone, it will be fine."
Before Ye Mingzhe could call out, Li Wenxiu and Ye Mingxuan came in. When they saw the pot of porridge, they paused for a moment, but didn't ask anything.
Ye Yutong had already filled the porridge, and Ye Mingxuan picked up a bowl, "Mom, I'm going to feed my brother-in-law. You and your brothers and sisters can eat first! You don't have to wait for me."
Ye Mingzhe said hurriedly: "Brother, you, your mother, and your sister are going to town later. You eat first, and I'll feed my brother-in-law." After that, he was ready to go out with a bowl of porridge.
Li Wenxiu looked at the white porcelain bowl in her son's hand, stopped him, and whispered, "Let's eat first, and later use our own bowl to serve your brother-in-law the porridge."
After hearing this, the two brothers immediately understood what their mother meant.
They all picked up their bowls and drank the fragrant egg porridge. They followed what their mother said last night, eat what they are given, and don't ask if you shouldn't know, so as not to get your sister into trouble.
The rice produced in the space has been boiled until it is crystal clear, sticky and silky. Coupled with the green vegetables and eggs, it makes people drool just looking at it.
How many people have ever eaten such delicious food? Such fine rice? After a while, I drank all the porridge in the bowl.
Ye Yutong saw that after they had eaten a bowl, there was nothing left, so he smiled and said: "Mom, I'm full. You and your brothers should eat everything in the pot. I will send the pots and bowls to the gods later." of."
Li Wenxiu knew what was going on with the gods, so she set aside her son-in-law's rice and let his two sons eat the rest of the porridge.
How could Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe eat such good food alone? In the end, the four of us shared the food.
Ye Yutong was finally exhausted. When she was cooking porridge in space, she had already eaten a big apple, a piece of snack, and an egg. Now she had eaten two more bowls of porridge, and her stomach felt bloated.
Ye Mingzhe saw that there was still some rice crust in the pot that could not be filled, so he poured some water, washed the pot, and poured the washing water into his own casserole.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Ye Yutong asked strangely.
"Sister, there's a lot of food in here. Let's put some wild vegetables in it and cook it at night, and we'll have another meal." Then he carefully put the casserole away.
Ye Yutong opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
This was an ancient time when food production was extremely low, and it was also a drought year. Even the grass roots were eaten, let alone the shabu-shabu water with a lot of rice paste in it.
