Xia Jiuyue got up very early with her two girls. When Xia July got up, the rice porridge was already cooked. She also fried the unfinished cabbage that she took out yesterday and it was hot right out of the pot.
.
His younger brother Xia Xinghe was busy lighting the kangs in three rooms, fearing that they would not be hot enough just once a day.
As soon as Xia Qiyue came out, Ke'er jumped up and ran towards her, "Mother, you are so embarrassed..."
He was rubbing his little face with his little hands, and he was smiling happily.
Xia Qiyue knelt down and hugged her, "Why are you so embarrassed, mother?"
The little girl's soft and slightly cold face came close to her, "Because my mother has slept till now...hehehe, shyly..."
"Okay, Ke'er actually said mother, right? Look at me not tickling you!"
The mother and son were playing in the yard when they saw a little man standing at the door of the kitchen, a little lonely, but with a stubborn smile on his face.
"Mother, mother, don't, it's so itchy...ahhahaha, don't..."
"Mom, you're so childish!" The two of them were playing around, and a little voice came out, making Xia Qiyue quickly turn around, and stretched out her claws, torturing Xuan'er, who was pretending to be a grown-up.
In the end, Xia Jiuyue came out and took the two children away. "Sister, wash up quickly, it's time to eat! The six of them will be here soon!"
Really, why didn't I realize that my eldest sister was so childish before?
"Okay, by the way, September, go and boil some hard-boiled eggs. I forgot to tell you where to put them yesterday, so I put them in my room because I was afraid they would freeze at night!"
Xia Qiyue remembered it as soon as she woke up early. Before going to bed, she put the remaining fifty eggs that she had brought back yesterday in her room. She woke up late, which delayed cooking.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xia Jiuyue put down the child and called Ling'er to let the three children go back to the house first, while he went to the kitchen to get busy.
Only then did Xia Qiyue realize that Ling'er was a little depressed. Sometimes she was so nervous that she didn't think about Ling'er's situation.
She is at her most sensitive now. Seeing her playing with her two children will definitely make her think too much.
But now I can't make up for it. I can't go up and have fun with Ling'er anymore. That would be too deliberate.
So, she waved her hand, "Ling'er, be good. After dinner, my mother and I will go buy some clothes that fit me. This one is a bit too small!"
In fact, they are not young. Xia Qiyue can't find any other excuse. Children in the village pick up the old ones from the young ones, and wear them for three years, and mend them for another three years. There is no reason to buy new clothes every now and then.
However, Ling'er smiled when she heard Xia Qiyue calling herself her mother, "Mom, this dress is not too small. Ling'er doesn't want to buy it now. It's enough to wear, and it's also very warm!"
"Listen to me, mother. I'll take you out for a walk in a while. Come inside quickly and get out of the cold!"
The three children entered the house obediently. Xia Qiyue went to wash up, while Xia Jiuyue cooked twelve eggs, two for each child, because the children all like to eat eggs, and one feels that they don't have enough to eat, and the adults don't have enough to eat.
.
There was milk in Xia Qiyue's room, one bottle for each person every day, and she just happened to take it out.
That's it in the morning. I drink porridge and stir-fry, with eggs and milk. It's nutritious enough.
As soon as they finished eating, An Youde and six others came over. Their faces were covered with frost from breathing, which showed how cold it was in the morning.
Six of us didn't have any decent cotton-padded jackets to wear, so we were freezing.
Xia Qiyue asked them if they had eaten, and they all said they had eaten.
But when I asked them what they had eaten, none of them could tell. An Liang said weakly, "Drinking porridge..."
But Xia Qiyue knew that the porridge had not come so early, so where could he go to drink it?
So, Xia Jiuyue was asked to make porridge, boil eggs, and have breakfast with her pickled vegetables before starting to work.
The six people all started to feel embarrassed. They were really embarrassed to eat and drink and still get so much wages.
"Youde, Fifth Brother, you two go and crush the peanuts that have been peeled, while the others continue peeling the peanuts, and we will start making candies soon!" Xia Qiyue explained when he saw that everyone was busy.
He and the second sister both knew how to cook it. If the eldest sister said she wanted to sell it, they could start cooking it right away and even sell it.
"I haven't confiscated the eggs yet. I'll start selling them tomorrow. I'll go to the market to collect the eggs soon!" Xia Qiyue waved her hand. It was a bit inappropriate for the eggs to appear out of thin air.
"Then let me peel the peanuts too!" Xia Xinghe was very conscious and went to peel the peanuts.
Xia Qiyue didn't know what she could do. She was a girl who was embarrassed to be crowded in there with so many foreign men, but Xia Qiyue immediately arranged a job for her.
"In September, just take care of the kids and make lunch by the way!"
Xia Jiuyue nodded quickly, indicating that she understood, and was so excited that people who didn't know would think she had gotten some advantage.
No one knows how scared she is, afraid of being useless, afraid that she can't help her eldest sister, and afraid that her eldest sister will dislike her.
After Xia Qiyue finished making arrangements, she took Ling'er out and went out.
She had to go to the cloth store, but Ke'er and Xuan'er's clothes were enough to wear, and there were two sets of brand new and unworn clothes, Ling'er's clothes. Except for the one on her body, which she borrowed from Ke'er, there was nothing else.
Already.
Furthermore, she wanted to make a suit of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for six people. It was a very cold day. How could her body withstand the cold like this?
Although many people, or even all refugees, are in this situation, she can't care about everyone, and the people around her can still help.
Furthermore, the six of them will do things with him from now on, especially the halva business, which is a high-end business. They still dress like refugees, which will inevitably make people look down on them.
I didn't buy anything else on the way, so I set off for the cloth store. Fortunately, the six people were all about the same height and weight, as if they were specially selected. This made it a lot easier for Xia Qiyue to choose clothes.
People in the village don't wear long gowns. They all wear tops and trousers, but the tops are longer, extending past the hips, and tied with a belt around the waist.
When Xia Qiyue arrived at the cloth store, she ordered six sets of thick cotton clothes, and one set of coats for each person outside. They were dressed like ordinary people in the market, but they were not too shabby.
Six sets cost her 2,000,000 and 40,000 yuan, which was really ridiculously expensive.
Next, I spent 600 Wen Hei Ling'er to buy two sets. Children grow fast, so you don't need to buy too many sets. Just have two sets that can be changed and washed.
The little girl was so happy that she felt a little unreal. From time to time, I would reach out and touch the clothes I bought for her, then lower my head and secretly pee.
After all, they are still five-year-old children. No matter how much they are abused by their parents at home and become precocious, the nature of children is still there.
Being pampered and taken care of by Xia Qiyue, having good food and drink every day, and not having to be scolded, Ling'er has regained some of his natural instincts.
She can sweetly call Xia Qiyue her mother and then take the initiative to approach her. Although she still has some involuntary overthinking like she did in the morning, she understands many things and knows how much her fourth aunt takes care of her. After knowing that she is determined
