Chapter 102 The first night in the new house
"The pancake is ready! Come and eat it while it's hot."
Li Xiuxiu shouted, and everyone chatting in the yard entered the kitchen.
Zhao Changan ran the fastest, "Mom, give me one!"
Li Yuebai took the cakes out of the oven one by one and put them in the basket.
"There's still some lying around, take it slowly."
Zhao Changan couldn't wait to pick one up, "Wow! It's so hot!"
Li Xiuxiu was worried, "You kid, put it down first, let it cool down and eat later."
Zhao Changan chuckled, tossing the pancakes in his hands like a juggler with both hands.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being hot."
He Sutong took a clean small handkerchief and picked up a pancake through the handkerchief.
"Cha, come."
The handkerchief made it less hot to hold. Zhao Yicha took the cake and smiled sweetly at He Sutong.
"Thank you ma'am."
He Sutong took another clean handkerchief, wrapped a pancake, and waved to Zhao Nanzhou.
"Nanzhou, come quickly."
Zhao Nanzhou smiled happily and quickly ran to He Sutong's side.
"Thank you auntie!"
He Sutong smiled and touched Zhao Nanzhou's head, "It's hot, eat it slowly."
Wu Yang consciously lined up behind his younger brothers and sisters, keeping his eyes on the pancakes.
It looks delicious!
Mrs. Zhao pulled the fire a few times, and Zhao Changfu's sharp eyes immediately saw the potatoes.
“And baked potatoes!”
There was a kettle on the fire, and the water was boiling and steaming.
Mr. Zhao took out a tea bag. This was the tea brought by Chen Jingzhi today.
"I haven't tried other teas yet, would you like some tea?"
Zhao Changan took big bites of the pancake and ate it the fastest.
"Grandpa, I couldn't sleep at night after drinking tea."
"Can I have some sugar water?"
cake
The sub was a bit dry to eat, with layers of crispy texture and only a little bit of sweetness.
Tasting a hint of sweetness, Zhao Changan missed the taste of sugar water even more. He could only drink a bowl every year during the New Year and holidays.
Zhao Yicha wanted to drink tea, but after drinking tea with his grandfather last night, he stared in bed and couldn't sleep most of the night.
"Grandpa, I also want to drink sugar water."
Now that the child said so, Mr. Zhao had no choice but to put away the tea leaves.
"Then let's drink sugar water."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Old man, you can just get used to them."
Saying this, Mrs. Zhao got up early to get the candy jar.
"I only put a small spoonful. It's too sweet and it'll be boring."
Zhao Changan nodded vigorously, it would be nice to have sugar water!
Zhao Changrui woke up immediately when he heard there was food. He can now eat some complementary food.
The pancake is a little dry, but it's crispy, with layers upon layers that fall apart as soon as you pinch it.
Li Xiuxiu crushed it into pieces and fed it into Zhao Changrui's mouth.
Zhao Changrui smacked his mouth and ate happily.
Lu Ming sat on the edge of the bamboo basket and watched eagerly as everyone ate.
Everyone ate it, except Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's longing eyes were too obvious. Zhao Laosan couldn't stand the watery eyes of his daughter, so he put the cake to his daughter's mouth.
The closer you get, the better you can smell the fragrance, a very pure noodle fragrance.
Lu Ming hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth to bite.
I can't help it, I'm too greedy.
Li Yuebai pulled away Zhao Laosan's hand a second before Lu Ming took a bite of the pancake.
"Yan Shan, Lu Ming still has teeth, so we can't eat these."
Lu Ming missed the bite and lowered his head regretfully.
Zhao Laosan felt heartbroken when he saw Lu Ming's disappointed look.
"Daughter-in-law, Lu Ming looks like he wants to eat it."
"We all have something to eat,
She was the only one who didn't eat it, how pitiful it was. "
Zhao Nanzhou saw Li Xiuxiu crush the pancake and feed it to Zhao Changrui.
"Sister, can you have a little bit?"
"I made the pancakes into small pink powder so that my sister can eat them even if she doesn't have teeth."
Li Yuebai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Lu Ming is too young to eat."
"Let me drink some sugar water for Lu Ming later."
Lu Ming raised his head, his eyes sparkling,
Sugar water will work too! It's better than having to eat nothing.
I really want to grow up quickly.
On this night, the family gathered around the stove, eating pancakes and drinking sweet water, feeling particularly warm and happy.
Spent a warm first night in my new home.
"Get up! Let's go mow the grass!"
Early in the morning, Zhao Changfu took Zhao Changan and Zhao Yigui to knock on Wu Yang's door.
Wu Yang woke up early. A basin of water was placed in the room in advance. He simply washed his face and Wu Yang opened the door.
It's dark outside.
Wu Yang was a little confused, "So early?"
Zhao Changfu nodded, "Of course, there isn't much grass now. If we go too late, it will be gone!"
It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and there are not many green plants to see at this time.
There is still some grass on the mountain that ducks will eat, but it is very popular now.
Many families in the village raise chickens, and they need to store some grass for the winter, lest the chickens starve and become thin without food.
At this time, there are only some left on the mountain, and in a few days, they will be gone.
"Quickly, Brother Yang, put on your backpack and we'll set off."
Zhao Changan was very excited, handed Wu Yang the largest backpack, and urged him to close the door and leave.
It was cold early in the morning, and when the cold wind blew, Wu Yang felt energetic instantly.
"Come on, come on, we're going to be the first ones to cut the grass."
In the yard, Mr. Zhao has already gotten up, holding a cup of
Sit in the rocking chair and drink hot water slowly.
Seeing the children going out chatting and laughing, Mr. Zhao gave a warning.
"Pay attention to safety and don't go to too dangerous places."
Wu Yang waved towards Mr. Zhao.
"Master, I will watch over my brothers."
As soon as the children left, the other doors opened. Today was also a very busy day.
Li Xiuxiu took the list she had put together yesterday and was going to the county to stock up on goods today.
The carriage Chen Jingzhi took when he came here, since he left in the afternoon, the carriage could go to the county in the morning to pull goods.
There were many people going today, including all the men of the Zhao family.
The village chief's oxen and horses cannot accommodate so many people, and he still has to store things at his own house.
Mrs. Zhao quietly pulled over Boss Zhao.
"Boss, go to Sun's house in the county and see what's going on."
He Sutong and Li Yuebai each came over with a package, and happened to see Mrs. Zhao talking to Boss Zhao.
"mother?"
Mrs. Zhao responded and quickly called her two daughters-in-law over.
"What did you get?"
With the two small packages, He Sutong and Li Yuebai looked at each other and smiled.
"There are new clothes."
"Some time ago, my three younger siblings and I made some extra clothes."
"It's for Bo Zong and Boyao. I was originally worried that the clothes wouldn't fit. But when I saw them yesterday, it should be just right."
"My sister-in-law left in a hurry, and we didn't have time to give her."
"It's just the right time for them to send it over today."
Boss Zhao took the two packages and had a good reason to visit his sister.
Mrs. Zhao said happily: "As a grandmother, I never thought that you two are really thoughtful."
"Let me see, what does it look like?"
Boss Zhao opened the package. Inside were two similar small clothes, which were reddish.
The fabric is perfect for the New Year.
Sun Bozong and Sun Boyao are twins who look very much alike. It's hard to recognize them when they wear the same clothes.
"As expected of your craftsmanship, it's so beautiful."
"The two children look alike. They dress the same and I, as a grandmother, really can't recognize them."
Li Yuebai pointed to the lines on the clothes, "The clothes are a little different."
"Two pieces of clothing, one with the grain facing the left and one with the grain facing the right."
Mrs. Zhao smiled happily, "Hey, this makes it easier to distinguish."
