When we returned, the car was lighter than when we went, and we walked faster. It was not completely dark when we arrived in the county. After unloading the things, the three of them lit torches and took Heizi to the breeding farm without stopping.

Things were placed in the yard. Mao Xiaosui hugged the two babies for a while before lighting the oil lamp and cleaning the house.

It would be a while before Li Yunshan came back. After hesitating for a while, she dug out two bowls of noodles and took some mushrooms and eggs to cook.

Boil the soup first, and then start to scald the noodles and make the sugar cakes.

The two kids brought the table in and sat down to eat snacks and keep her company.

Mao Xiaosui drank half a bowl of soup first, and then let the two children eat when the cake was cooked.

The cakes were baking quickly, and when there was only the last pan left, Heizi came in from the door. Mao Xiaosui shouted to Li Yunshan who followed him, "Let Qin An come over for dinner."

Li Yunshan shouted to Qin An who was about to enter.

There was water in the washbasin, and the two of them sat down after washing the handles casually.

Qin An looked at the sugar cake and said, "I haven't eaten it for a long time. It looks so delicious."

"It tastes delicious." Li Yunshan laughed and drank the soup first. After half a bowl of soup, he grabbed the sugar cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mao Xiaosui also sat down after putting the last pot in.

Qin An has already finished the second one and is busy talking.

"The craftsmanship is much better than that of the old lady, Li Yunshan is so blessed..." In short, it is very sour.

After hearing this, Li Yunshan replied, "If you are envious, find someone by yourself. How can one person live a life as good as two people?"

Qin An curled his lips and said sadly, "Some people can't live a lifetime together." After saying that, he laughed again, "My fate may come one day, don't worry."

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Aren't you going to leave again?"

"Where can I go?" Qin An said, "I think it's good to be here. Although you always roll your eyes at me, you two are really nice."

Li Yunshan also said, "Let's live a down-to-earth life."

Qin An said "Yeah".

After dinner, he and Li Yunshan moved the rice over. The old lady waited while Qin An was still asleep. After hearing the noise, she came out and asked the two of them, "What did you move?"

"White rice." Qin An replied.

"Ouch." The old lady slapped her thigh directly, "You guys can eat it by yourself, what are you doing here..."

"I bought it." Qin An said.

"Then it would be great if you kept the money, because you will have to marry your wife in the future." The old lady felt very distressed.

Qin An sighed, probably because he was afraid of being scolded by the old lady, so he whispered after Li Yunshan, "Who knows where it is."

Li Yunshan ignored him, put the things away and went home.

The charcoal is still placed next to the firewood at the door, the rice is put in the food room, and the spicy white rice is also put in the food room.

It was too late after they had finished cleaning up. Mao Xiaosui let the two children go to bed. He and Li Yunshan scrubbed and had a rest quickly.

_

A heavy rain came as expected the next day. Unable to work, Li Yunshan and Qin An simply went to the breeding farm to drink. They also counted the remaining rabbit skins and gave them some money.

Mao Xiaosui put the clothes they had changed these days into a basin, rubbed some soap foam, put it under the eaves to soak in water, and then swept the house inside and out.

Li Ruyi walked in and out like a follower, holding the snacks in her hand since the meal.

Mao Xiaosui stretched out his hand and flicked her head, "Can you just sit there peacefully?"

"No, I want to follow my mother." Li Ruyi smiled.

Mao Xiaosui didn't care about her anymore. After cleaning up the house, everyone was sweating. She wiped the soaked clothes, shoes and socks again, scrubbing them twice and then rinsing them again with clean water.

Li Yunshan didn't come back at noon, so Mao Xiaosui took a break and ate some preserved fruits before asking Li Ruyi, "What do you want to eat?"

"White rice."

Mao Xiaosui stretched. She was a little more greedy for things in the water than white rice. Next time she went to the farm, she could get a basket to catch fish.

With this thought in mind, she stood up, steamed the rice first, took a basin to pick some vegetables, soaked some mushrooms, and got some eggs.

Letting the rice steam first, she went into the house to practice calligraphy for a while. It wasn't until the aroma of white rice wafted out that Li Ruyi came in and called her.

Mao Xiaosui figured that Li Ankang was coming soon, so he washed his hands and started cooking.

Fry a mushroom and green vegetables, heat a bowl of cooked rabbit meat solidified in lard, and fry a plate of eggs.

After the table was set and the dishes were put away, Li Ankang came back while Mao Xiaosui was taking a bowl to fill the rice.

The oil-paper umbrella he brought with him in the morning had turned into a pile of tatters. Li Ankang came back in the rain with his schoolbag in his arms. His body was covered with mud from the fall, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Falled?"

Li Ankang said "Huh" and avoided his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Mao Xiaosui waved to him.

Li Ankang murmured, and it took him a long time to say, "The umbrella was broken by a student with us."

"What about the mud on your body?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

"I fell while jumping down the steps."

"Did anyone bully you?"

Li Ankang shook his head, "His umbrella was broken. I lent mine to him. He broke it when he came back from the latrine, and then..."

Mao Xiaosui stared at him, and Li Ankang continued, "It wasn't originally this broken. It broke when I hit a tree on the road..."

Li Ankang spoke softer and quieter, feeling extremely guilty.

Mao Xiaosui didn't know whether to praise him for being honest or scold him for being naughty.

Seeing Li Ankang's cautious look, he couldn't help but laugh. He patted his head and said, "Just break it if it's broken. As long as no one bullies you, you have money anyway. Just use your money to buy a new one."

Li Ankang immediately became anxious, pulled her sleeves and shouted, "Mom, I was wrong..."

"Hurry up and change your clothes and eat." Mao Xiaosui ignored his plea.

Boys tend to be more naughty as they get older. Li Ankang broke his umbrella not once or twice. She just said a few words in the past few times, and Li Ankang probably didn't take it seriously.

The money for the two children is spent by themselves. In addition to the money given during the New Year, they also give one yuan every month.

The two kids would sometimes go to the street to buy candied haws, and sometimes they would buy candies. There wasn't much left anyway. An umbrella only cost thirty coppers. After buying Li Ankang, the little money they had left was almost gone. , which means that for the remaining ten days, he will have to watch Li Ruyi eat it, and he will be greedy for it.

Li Ankang begged for a while and found out that it didn't work, so he went back to the house to change clothes. Mao Xiaosui took out his book, because the inside was sewn with rabbit skin, and although it was wet on the surface, it was dry on the inside.

After making sure that the book was not wet, she put it back, shook it out, and then threw it on the shelf.

The eggs are stir-fried with pork slices and there are a lot of chopped green onions. It tastes very fragrant when mixed with rice.

Li Ruyi's mouth was full of pain, and she said to Mao Xiaosui vaguely, "Mom, can we eat white rice every day in the future?"

The reason why there is a lot of millet at home is that I usually eat millet, and I only eat white rice once in a while.

But now the family is not short of money, so Mao Xiaosui readily agreed.

Li Ankang also immediately said, "I want to eat rabbit meat and steamed eggs tonight."

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui asked Li Ruyi again, "What food do you want to eat?"

"White rice." Li Ruyi said, "White rice is so fragrant."

Mao Xiaosui responded one by one.
