Chapter 76 The sugar water that I can’t bear to swallow

She didn't want to cause trouble for herself anymore. It was hard for her to get rid of trouble like Lao An's family. If another one got involved, she wouldn't be able to survive.

At this time, no one was able to do it smoothly. Because someone helped, they all finished and started to spread the quilt.

"Sister, fortunately, with the help of Carpenter Gao, the bed can be made smoother. If the wood is laid without breaking, the rounded beds will be much firmer."

Xia Jiuyue was obedient and stopped talking about the old Xia family. Instead, she turned to discuss the simple wooden bed.

"Hurry up and make the bed, and then send some food to those who are helping us. In order to help us, they haven't finished their own work yet! Especially Gao Carpenter's family, their family has a small population. After Gao Carpenter came to help,

There is only one man left in the family to work!”

His hands were constantly moving, his mouth was talking, and he didn't forget to give each of the two children a hard-boiled egg.

"Mom, I'm not hungry, I don't need to eat eggs!" Ke'er had already picked it up and smashed it into pieces, but Xuan'er pushed it back and said she wouldn't eat it.

Xia Qiyue didn't look at the two children at first. She just handed them over and was busy with what she was doing. After hearing what her son said, she stopped what she was doing and looked over.

"Xuan'er, your body is still too weak. You need to take more supplements. Just eat as much as mom can give you. Mom will be satisfied if you don't get sick!"

Ke'er felt a little embarrassed after hearing her brother's words, so she stopped peeling the shells and started moving again.

He quickly finished peeling off an egg shell, then handed it to his brother, took away the hard-boiled egg in his hand, and then started educating him in a serious manner.

"Brother, you should eat more and try to grow up faster. We can walk by ourselves without letting mother push us, so that mother will be less burdened!"

His little appearance is so cute, and the three-year-old child can already speak fluently, but his little voice is particularly pleasant to listen to.

When they were at Lao An's house, they didn't even eat eggs, not even an egg shell. It's great that my mother has changed.

Xuan'er listened to her sister's words, looked at the peeled eggs her sister gave her, lowered her head and ate them quickly.

Because they know that they have to eat secretly, eat quickly, and not let others see it, otherwise they will be in trouble.

The two little guys stuffed the eggs into their mouths in small bites, and then quickly took out the small water bladders they had on them to drink water for fear of choking.

Only then did Xia Qiyue remember that she hadn't given the children sugar water yet.

When it was late at night, they ate some simple food and then lay down in bed.

After everyone fell asleep, Xia Qiyue quietly got up and entered the space.

But this shed really worked, and others couldn't easily see what they were doing inside.

In addition, everyone in Lao An's family was also injured and would not cause trouble for her easily. She felt more at ease entering the space this time.

After taking the water bags for five people, she lit a fire on the iron stove next to the spring. It was very cold at night, so she had to boil some hot water to make sugar water for them to drink and keep themselves warm.

There is no kettle, so I can only take out the small iron pot and wash it several times to use it as a kettle.

After everything was done, she went to harvest nine points of corn.

When I looked at the upgrade progress bar, it was already 7,700. It was about to be upgraded.

But now she doesn't even have a pig house. Second-level farms can raise pigs, but she can't.

What kind of gold finger is this? Why do you have to let people spend gold? Don’t you know that she, a peasant woman, has no money?

A prize draw costs one thousand taels of silver. Do you know how much a thousand taels is? Where can she, a peasant woman with two children fleeing from famine, get one thousand taels of silver?

She looked at the paid lottery board and worried for a while. The things on it were so tempting. She wanted them all, especially the baking machine. From the name, she knew it was for making pastries.

Although she can cook, she is not very good at making pastries. She also likes sweets, but she can't buy them now, so she feels itchy just looking at them.

I turned around with a sigh, only to see a lot of eggs piled up next to the chicken coop. They should have cost more than one thousand or two thousand. I haven't sold any since I started raising chickens. My family can't even eat them, so I just save them.

So much has fallen.

Looking at the eggs, a plan suddenly came to her mind. She could go to Maoshan Town to sell eggs tomorrow.

Isn't this also a kind of income? Although it is still a little short of a thousand taels, but the legs of a fly are still meat no matter how small they are.

While making up her mind, the water on the stove was boiling. She hurried over and put sugar in it. After a while, it cooled down a little, and then she poured it into five small water bags.

There was not a drop left in the pot, and I almost burned my hands several times.

When she came out of the space with five water bags, there was another noise outside. Just as she put down the water bags to go out and take a look, her younger brothers and sisters woke up.

It looked like they had just started arguing, and I didn't know what there was to argue about in the middle of the night.

"Sister, what's going on? Who's making the noise again?" Xia Jiuyue rubbed her eyes, put her old clothes on her two little heads, sat up and asked.

Xia Xinghe, who was at the far end, had already got off the ground and was about to go out to take a look. When the second sister asked, he said, "You two, don't go out. I can go out and take a look! It's cold at night, so sit covered with a quilt!"

Xia Qiyue found that her younger brother was becoming more and more responsible. She always thought that since she was the man of the family, she should protect them.

His behavior directly affected Xiao Xuan'er. Now he always thinks that he is a man and he wants to protect his mother and sister...

There was just a quarrel outside and there was no danger, so I followed him out.

Xia Qiyue handed over her sister's water bag, "Drink it while it's hot, freshly boiled water!"

Xia Jiuyue was very cold, so he quickly took it and took a sip.

His eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at his eldest sister in disbelief and asked softly, "Sister, why is it so sweet?"

Xia Qiyue smiled, "Hurry up and drink more while it's hot to warm yourself up!"

At this point, Xia Jiuyue knew that she couldn't ask any more questions, so she lowered her head and drank curiously.

Xia Qiyue didn't want to wake up the two little ones at first, because the two of them slept soundly and the sugar water wouldn't get cold if she left it in the room, but when she touched the little faces of the two children, they felt cold, which made her feel a little distressed, so she hurriedly

Wake up the two little ones.

"Ah? Is there a thief? Where?"

Little Ke'er was pushed awake by her mother, and reflexively sat up and groped around, asking if there was a thief.

Xuan'er next to her was also a little dazed, but she was tugging on the quilt and felt very cold.

"There is no thief. Mom is telling you to get up and drink hot water! Be good, please keep your voice down!" Xia Qiyue quickly suppressed her daughter's waving hands and patted her comfortingly.

After the two children successfully drank the warm and sweet sugar water, both of them were reluctant to swallow it and kept licking their mouths.

This was their first time drinking sugar water. The two of them, who had never known what sugar water tasted like, fell in love instantly.

"Okay! Stop playing tricks and drink it quickly! After drinking it, you will feel a little warmer. Mother will buy two more quilts and come back to cover you at dawn, so you won't be cold anymore!"
