Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

"It's quite a lot. This is all the water in the house." Li Qingfeng still stared at the small clay pot in front of him seriously, as if he would take it away as soon as the water in the small clay pot boiled.

"Is our village very short of water?" Li Qingxiu had an ominous premonition in her heart. Gods and Buddhas bless you, it will never be the situation she thinks.

Qingfeng Li said melancholy like a young adult: "Yes, it hasn't rained for a year. The weather is so hot that the crops in the fields can't grow. I heard from the big uncle next door that not only is there no water in the town, There is no water in many places.”

Well, it really is a good spirit but not a bad spirit. Just now I was praying in my heart that it would not be a drought, but it turned out to be a drought. No, what kind of world did she come to?

How do you feel that the future is uncertain? I still have to go out to the town to find out when I have time. What is the situation like now? "Then how do we usually drink water?"

"The old well in the village still has water, but there is not much water left. Uncle Li Zheng said that a family of five will get one bucket of water. A family of eight will get one and a half buckets, and a family of eight or more will get two buckets. Regardless of men, women, old or young, Li Zhengbo still sends people to register there every day."

Li Qingxiu didn't expect that Li Zheng was quite capable of doing practical things.

At this time the water also boiled. Li Qingxiu brought the small clay pot into the room. She also asked Qingfeng Li to bring a big bowl over, and then she poured some hot water into the big bowl with some distress, then unscrewed the bottle and put it in, scalding it inside and out.

There is no way, after all, babies still have to pay attention to hygiene when eating, otherwise they will be prone to bacterial infection. After scalding the bottle, I poured half a cup of water into it and waited for it to cool down before making milk powder.

Qingfeng Li didn't have time to worry about the hot water. He looked at the bamboo milk bottle with some surprise: "Sister, what is this? Is it a cup? The lid of this cup is too special."

"I don't know. I found it in the kitchen. I think my mother prepared it for my little sister before." Li Qingxiu didn't even need to draft a lie, she just blurted it out at once.

She thought for a moment and then continued: "Anyway, you don't need to ask about anything that appears in this house. Mom must have prepared it for us, but she didn't have time to tell us. Let's not go around saying that we have anything special. In case the second house owner comes to rob me again, do you understand?"

Qingfeng Li nodded and said very seriously: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely keep what mom gave us. I won't talk nonsense everywhere."

He suddenly thought of something and asked excitedly: "Sister, has the second uncle paid back the money?"

Hear Qingfeng Li's question. Li Qingxiu slapped her head fiercely. Why had she forgotten the money? Was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to buy anything with the money? It seems that dinner is settled today.

Qingfeng Li was shocked when he saw that Sister didn't answer and instead patted her on the head: "Sister, does your head hurt again? Don't hit it again, or it will hurt your head even more."

Li Qingxiu stretched out her hand and pinched Qingfeng Li's nose: "Don't worry, sister, it doesn't hurt. My second uncle also paid for it. By the way, who do we get along better with in our family?"

When he heard that there was money, Li Qingfeng was overjoyed: "Hehe, that's great, um~ the neighbor's eldest and second uncles are very good to us."

"Okay, let's go to their house to buy groceries." After Li Qingxiu said that, he pulled Qingfeng Li out.

But Li Qingfeng quickly stopped him: "Sister, wait a minute. The eldest uncle and the second uncle have gone out. It seems they won't come back until tomorrow. Also, not only does our family not have much food, but other families It’s the same thing. Uncle Zhuang said that there will be a severe drought this year and the harvest will be poor, so there won’t be much food.”

"That's it!" Li Qingxiu was a little frustrated. She also understood what Li Qingfeng meant, that is, there is a severe drought now and every household is tightening their belts to live. Where can there be excess food to sell to her.

Forget it, let’s feed the baby first. When the water temperature was about the same, Li Qingxiu used a small wooden spoon to scoop two spoonfuls of milk powder into the bottle. After twisting the bottle cap, she rubbed it back and forth with both hands for a while.

When the bottle cap was opened again, a milky fragrance spread out, making Li Qingxiu and Li Qingfeng's stomachs growl.

Especially Qingfeng Li, he had never smelled such a sweet smell. He swallowed and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister, what is this? It smells so good."

"This is milk, for my sister to drink." Li Qingxiu heard Qingfeng Li's stomach growling and looked away guiltily.

There was no way, this milk powder was really rare, and she didn't know if she would have it in the future. So she didn't dare to say anything about giving this little brother a sip.

Qingfeng Li was also very sensible. He heard that this was a drink for his sister. Except for a flash of envy in his eyes, he didn't say anything about drinking.

The milk powder in the bottle has completely dissolved. Li Qingxiu immediately screwed on the lid and held the baby in her arms. Then take the bottle and gently put it to the baby's mouth.

When the baby smelled the milk, he immediately opened his mouth and sucked it in. After a while, the baby's face was red and sweating profusely from sucking the milk too hard.

Soon the baby sucked all the milk in the bottle, and Li Qingxiu patted her back gently. Wait until the baby burps before putting it on the bed. Then unscrew the bottle and rinse it with hot water in a large bowl.

Qingfeng Li had been watching silently from the side, and suddenly said: "Sister, you look like a mother!"

Li Qingxiu was startled. Then he smiled and said: "People say that an elder sister is like a mother. I am not like a mother! Well, my sister is asleep. You can take care of her while I cook."

Li Qingxiu came to the kitchen carrying a small clay pot and water for washing baby bottles. I took out the eggs from the storage compartment and the black noodles from the rice vat. I looked at these two items on the table for a long time.

She suddenly had an idea in her mind, and she didn't know if it would work or not. Who cares, let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. At worst, she will have a stomachache for a day.

Anyway, with these ingredients, she didn't want to use a big stove, so she might as well just use a small earthen stove. Just as she was taking out a few dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard, she saw Qingfeng Li trotting in. "Sister, these are onions and leeks from the vegetable garden. I pulled them all for you."

Li Qingxiu was happy when she heard this. Wow! This is the unstoppable path. "We also have a vegetable garden at home. What other vegetables are there? Quickly take Sister to have a look."

"These are the only ones left. I picked all the edible ones. All the ones I planted before withered." Qingfeng Li put the leeks in his hand on the table, clapped his hands and ran back to the room.

He looked at eight or nine thin leeks and two wilted green onions on the table. Li Qingxiu could only comfort herself silently in her heart. It doesn't matter, it's better to have something than nothing, right? At least it can be a dish.
