Xiaoruo has not yet learned how to cook, but she is still very good at chores such as cleaning and arranging things.
The two children in the back room were still sleeping, and Xiaoruo had not cleaned them. The children still need more sleep to grow taller.
She only opened the door and window of the outhouse to ventilate, then lightly sprinkled some water on the ground in the faint morning light outside, and swept it with a broom. The house was built with civil engineering, and the ground was just tamped soil, so she swept it directly
It will raise large amounts of dust, so if you sprinkle some water on it and then clean it, the house will not be filled with dust.
After cleaning the floor of the outhouse and wiping the tables and chairs, Xiaoruo walked out of the room.
The village where the Xiao family is located is called Jingzhu Village. The village is not big, with only about twenty households in total. Each household is more than ten meters apart and not close to each other. Most of them are two or three one-story buildings built with civil engineering.
A short house, surrounded by a bamboo fence is considered to be one's own yard.
Xiaojia is located in the southwest of Jingzhu Village. It also has two earth-wood houses at the front and back.
The back room is the back room, which is divided into three rooms. The far left is the bedroom where Xiao's parents lived when they were alive. The far right is mostly the girl's clothes, which is Xiao Ruo's room. The middle room is divided into two small partitions.
One half was for the twin siblings to sleep on, and the other half contained three ceiling-to-ceiling bookshelves with over a hundred books neatly arranged on them.
There are many tables and chairs in the outhouse, which is similar to the function of the foyer, except that there are many large vats and wooden shelves placed in the corners of the house. The vats are used for storing grain, and there are many farm tools and hatchets on the wooden shelves.
Further outside is the yard where Xiao Ruo is now. There are two straw sheds on the left and right sides of the yard. Under the straw shed on the left is a stove made of stones and earth blocks, and on the right is a simple chicken coop.
It is currently impossible to expect that she can make delicious meals. Xiaoruo doesn't want to repeat the scene last night. When she thinks of Xiaoruo's small body, which is not as tall as the stove, yesterday she had to move a small stool to stand on tiptoe to make pancakes.
, it really made her feel guilty.
If you don’t know how to make complicated meals, then make something simple. At this time, the hens also woke up with a clucking sound, and there was a rustling sound in the chicken coop. Xiaoruo narrowed his eyes, this was not just a pillow for him to sleep on.
What.
After a few steps, I arrived in front of the chicken coop. Ignoring the angry clucking of the old hen, I stretched out my hand and touched two hot eggs.
Xiaoruo lit the haystack with a fire stick, put on some firewood, and set up a pot to boil water. After the water boiled, he sprinkled two handfuls of wheat flour and stirred it together, then popped two eggs into the pot. Two eggs
The air bubbles of the boiling wheat flour paste were instantly dispersed, and the egg whites bonded into white egg blossoms, while the egg yolks were still whole.
After all this was done, the sky was already bright, and noises were heard from the neighbors not far away. People in the village gradually woke up and got up.
Xiaoruo wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and thought to herself that her body is really thin, and she can be so tired from such a small amount of work. It seems that it is urgent to strengthen her body. The eldest sister is too weak for this family without the protection of her parents.
That's not a good thing.
While muttering to herself about ways to keep fit, she walked towards the back room. Looking at the scene, it seemed that the two little babies should be waking up.
After a few steps into the house, I found that the two of them had indeed woken up, but they were still sitting on the bed.
His eyes were blurred. Xiao Zhao also leaned against his twin sister with a confused face, and his chubby hands were still holding the air slightly, indicating that he was still fighting against the sleepiness.
"Are you awake? When you wake up, you get up and wash up and eat." Xiaoruo neatly went over and held each other's hands, making them stand up and wake up faster. She found their clothes and put them in their arms. "Small clothes are fine.
Do you want to wear it yourself? Do you want sister’s help?”
After passively standing up, the two siblings finally woke up completely. The little chubby boy pulled out his clothes and began to put them on. While trying to get dressed, he answered vaguely in unison: "Niao Niao/Zhao Zhao can wear it by himself..."
Xiaoruo smiled and watched the two bean sprouts put on their clothes and tidy up, and then followed the two bean sprouts to the middle room of the back room to wipe their faces with cloths, brush their teeth with coarse salt and rinse their mouths. The three of them slept together on the far left last night
The room was the original bedroom of Xiao's parents.
After washing up, Xiaoruo served each of them a bowl of egg batter. Although it didn't look very good, it was more fragrant because of the addition of eggs.
Xiao Zhao looked at the egg yolk wrapped in a layer of batter in the bowl, blinked and asked Xiao Ruo: "Sister, are we eating eggs today? But today is not the Chinese New Year?"
The Xiao family usually saves their eggs, and when they save a certain amount, they will be sent to the county town to be sold. Only during the Chinese New Year or a child's birthday will they boil a few eggs to eat themselves.
Xiaoruo once again had a further practical understanding of the family's economic situation. Eggs are part of the Xiao family's financial resources and are not daily consumables. However, without adequate protein intake, the nutrition of two small beans is not sufficient.
She had to ensure the health of her two little ones first. She had to think of other ways to make money. It was unrealistic to just rely on saving eggs.
She touched Xiao Zhao's fleshy little face and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhao, the hen laid more than two eggs. Also, you and Niao Niao will have to eat eggs every day from now on, so that you can grow taller."
oh."
When Xiaoxiao saw that there were eggs to eat, she happily took a big bite. After chewing a few mouthfuls, she stopped and looked at the eldest sister hesitantly: "Sister, these eggs have no taste..."
It was broken, and Xiaoruo realized that she forgot to add salt for seasoning... Fortunately, Xiaodou Ding was sensible, and after temporarily adding a pinch of salt and mixing, the three of them managed to eat a meal that was considered nutritious.
breakfast.
Captain Xiao finally officially started raising a baby!
