This made Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang extremely happy. They took the money and hurried to the grain store to queue up to buy food.

Since they arrived early today and were ahead of the queue, they were queued up within a short time. As a result, each person bought twenty kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of white flour.

They originally wanted to buy the cheapest brown rice and black flour, but the grain store didn't have them, only ordinary rice and white flour. And each person can only buy a maximum of 20 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of white flour.

After leaving the grain store, the two brothers discussed and decided to give each of them five kilograms of rice to Li Qingxiu, which added up to ten kilograms of rice.

As for why they were given rice instead of flour, it was because they were concerned that there was a baby like Li Qingxiao, and the rice could make rice oil instead of milk for Li Qingxiao to drink.

After making the happy decision, they went to the salt shop and each bought five kilograms of coarse salt. They decided to pickle all the fish they couldn't finish so that the fish would last longer.

Li Qingxiu was just brushing her eyes and teeth when she saw Li Erzhuang's eldest son, Li Yuhao, knocking on her courtyard door with a bucket of water.

After the puzzled Li Qingxiu opened the door for him, he saw Li Yuhao smiling and saying: "Good morning, Qingxiu sister, my father asked me to deliver water to your house."

After he finished speaking, he looked around and saw no one there before whispering: "There are also wild vegetables and fish."

Li Qingxiu was even more surprised when she heard this. Only then did she see Li Yuhao carrying a bamboo basket on his back. There is also a faint fishy smell coming from the bamboo basket.

Thinking of Li Dazhuang’s question yesterday. Li Qingxiu understood. It was estimated that the two families went to the back mountain last night to dig out the catfish nest in the creek.

After unloading the bamboo basket, Li Yuhao helped pour the water from the bucket into the water tank. Seeing that Li Qingxiu didn't have anything to ask, he couldn't help but asked: "Sister Qingxiu, don't you have anything to ask?"

Li Qingxiu glanced at the young man in front of her and asked, "What are you asking for? How many fish did you catch last night?"

Li Yuhao was surprised. "How did you know we went fishing last night?"

Li Qingxiu smiled. She pointed to the bamboo basket on the ground and then to her head. "I have a brain."

Li Yuhao scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "The pretty girl is smart. We caught a lot of fish last night. My father and uncle took the fish to the town to sell them early in the morning."

In fact, when Li Qingxiu caught the fish yesterday, she also thought about going to the town to buy it. She knew that she would be able to get a good price in the face of food shortage.

But she always felt that she had to seize the time to prepare dry food, just because she was afraid that Li Zheng would suddenly make a quick escape.

If she is not prepared for food and clothing, she is really afraid that she will die on the way to escape. The dog system also said that death in this world is real death.

She just saw that the water in the water tank was turbid than yesterday, which meant that the water level had dropped again.

After Li Yuhao left, Li Qingxiu clicked on today's check-in.

[Sign in successfully today, congratulations to the host for getting: 2 liters of mineral water and 1 bottle. 】

Li Qingxiu is very satisfied, the mineral water is good! The most lacking thing now is water, and the water is getting turbid and she is afraid to drink it.

Now that she has two liters of mineral water, she can use the bucket of turbid water that Li Yuhao just sent over to kill fish.

Qingfeng Li, who had just washed up, touched his belly and asked, "Sister, what should we eat in the morning?"

Li Qingxiu thought for a while. “How about some steamed pumpkin?”

"Okay, then I will help take care of my sister. After Li Qingfeng finished speaking, he returned to the house. He had learned how to prepare milk from Li Qingxiu last night.

He felt that his sister was usually too busy and tired, so he wanted to help her sister share more of the burden. He was the only man in the family, so he must learn how to take care of his sister and do the housework within his ability.

Li Qingxiu went directly to the kitchen to boil water, then took out a large pumpkin and cut it into pieces. Once the water boiled, she put it in a steamer.

Put the leftover rabbit meat from last night in the middle, and put pumpkin pieces around it. When the pumpkin is ripe, you can have breakfast.

Then he went to the yard, disemboweled the catfish that Li Yuhao had just sent, removed the scales, and chopped it into pieces. He also washed and chopped yesterday's wild onions and wild ginger and placed them on top of the fish pieces. She planned to steam the fish when the pumpkin was ripe.

"Wow wow~"

Li Qingxiu suddenly heard the baby's cry. Feeling anxious, he quickly asked: "Xiao Feng! What's wrong with my sister? She's crying so loudly."

"Sister, it's okay, I can calm you down."

After a while, I really stopped hearing the baby's cries. Li Qingxiu was relieved and at the same time very pleased that Xiaofeng could take good care of the baby and she didn't have to be so busy.

Li Qingxiu was in a good mood and killed two more big catfish. She decided to braise the second one and fry the third one. Later, they even killed the dozens of crucian carp without sparing them.

She thought that instead of wasting the water left over from steaming the pumpkin, she could make it into soybean and crucian carp soup. After killing the fish, she would clean up the surrounding area and bury all the fish entrails in the backyard to use as fertilizer.

The fire in the earthen stove had long been extinguished. Li Qingxiu opened the lid and saw that the pumpkin had been steamed, so she put in the pumpkin pieces and rabbit meat.

I started steaming the catfish. One fish was too big to fit on one plate and I had to use two plates. Fortunately, the iron pot in ancient rural areas was big enough to fit two plates at once.

At this time, Qingfeng Li came to the kitchen pushing the stroller. As soon as he saw Qingxiu Li, he quickly shared his interesting stories.

"Sister, let me tell you, my sister just grabbed her hair by herself. She grabbed it too hard and cried in pain. I asked her to let go, but she still refused. Fortunately, I had just prepared milk and fed her before she agreed. let go."

Only then did Li Qingxiu realize the reason why the baby was crying so loudly just now. Worried, she also checked the baby's head.

After looking around, I found that there was nothing wrong, except that the baby might be in severe pain, and his eyes and nose were red from crying, making him look particularly distressed.

"Little fool, look at the pain you scratched yourself. Don't be so stupid next time." Li Qingxiu smiled and tapped the baby's little face.

She felt that the baby's face seemed a little rounder, probably because he had been fed enough milk in the past two days.

The siblings had breakfast, and Qingfeng Li's little nose arched up and down. "Sister, what are you doing? I smell a scent."

"It's steamed fish, do you want to try it?" Li Qingxiu smelled the fish and guessed that the fish was almost ready.

"Yes!" Li Qingfeng's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Li Qingxiu took out two plates of fish, put some green onions and ginger on them and poured some soy sauce on them. Then pour out the water from the pot. Heat a spoonful of lard in the pot, and pour the hot lard on top of the fish.

"It smells so good. This is the first time I've seen fish meat like this. My mother used to make fish soup." Qingfeng Li swallowed as he spoke.

Li Qingxiu took a large piece of fish and put it in a bowl and handed it to Li Qingfeng: "Eat slowly, be careful of the fish bones!"

"Hmm~ It's so smooth and fragrant. It's much more delicious than soup. The fish in the soup has no taste and even the soup is fishy." Qingfeng Li praised while eating.
