We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

The eldest family of the Luo family was eating lunch unhappily. A group of people here gradually carried their luggage to the foot of the mountain at the entrance of the village, which was the new home of the Luo Yu sisters.

The headman's wife opened the door and asked them to let the Li family in. Then she gave the key to Luo Yu and took her to introduce the house. "Yu girl, I'm going to give you this key. You should keep it safe. This house was previously occupied by a scholar. They passed the imperial examination two years ago and moved to the town. I've been coming here to clean it up. This house is better than yours before. It has five compartments in total, a large hall, two small side rooms, a kitchen, and a tool room over there."

Luo Yu looked at the house and was very satisfied. She wanted to build a bigger one to live in when she had money. Now that she had such a good place to live, she really didn't know how to be grateful.

Seeing that the uncles and aunts in the village had already put away their things, and the uncles with larger items had also put their things in place, Luo Yu looked at them and didn't want to delay everyone's lunch, so he said, "Thank you all uncles and aunts today, the things have been moved here, I can sort them out myself, uncles and aunts haven't had lunch yet, I want to keep yours, but it seems impossible today, I will treat all uncles and aunts to dinner later, aunts, go home quickly, I can clean up by myself, your elderly and children at home still need to eat?"

Everyone wanted to help, but the family was waiting to eat, so they said to Luo Yu: "Yu girl, we will go home now. You can clean up first. If you need help, please go to the village and ask for help. We will go back to cook for the elderly and children."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Uncles and aunts, I won't be polite, you guys go back quickly!"

A group of people came in droves, and then went back to the village in droves after a gust of wind. Luo Yu was very grateful. He also said to the head of the village and his wife: "Thank you, uncle and aunt of the head of the village today. Luo Yu doesn't know what to say. I will repay you later. You should go home and cook. I won't keep you uncle and aunt today."

The village head knew that she had just arrived and had nothing, and would not stay for dinner or anything. He took out the one or two taels of silver returned by Luo Wangshi today from his pocket, handed it to Luo Yu, and said, "Yu girl, this is what your grandmother returned. I, the village head, don't have any extra to give you. You should save it first, and you will have more in the future. If you have any problems, come to me and I will make the decision for you."

Luo Yu really needed the money, so he accepted it and said, "Uncle Lizheng, I'll take it first. I need to buy some things later. Otherwise, I can't make a living. I really don't have the money. When I make money, I will repay you."

Turning back and seeing Lin Luoluo still there, she hurried over to call her and said, "Luoluo, you should go back with the head of the village. I can clean up by myself. Go back to eat. You can come back when you are not busy. You still have to go back to take care of your brother."

Lin Luoluo wanted to say something else, but the village head's wife interrupted, "Luoluo, come back with us. Let Yuya clean up by herself. We are here and she still has to take care of us. We will come back later."

Lin Luoluo had no choice but to go back with the village head and his wife, and she did not forget to tell Luo Yu: "Yu'er, take your time to harvest. There is nothing to do in the fields now. I will come to accompany you after I finish my work at home."

Luo Yu smiled and nodded, and replied: "I understand. You should go home quickly. Thank you for today." Then he watched them walk away.

Turning around to go home and clean up, she saw her sister sitting at the door. She felt a little guilty. She was so busy cleaning up the women in the big house and the branch house that she didn't pay attention to her sister. She didn't even have breakfast. She was hungry, let alone her sister.

She walked over, picked up her sister, and said, "Ah Ci, I'm sorry, I ignored you today. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you right away, okay?"

Although Luo Ci was young, she had seen everything that had happened in the past few days. She knew that her grandparents and her uncle's family didn't like her. She knew that she only had her sister left and she couldn't go back to her old home. She was afraid that her sister would leave her one day, so she stretched out her little hand and cried, "Sister, hold me."

Luo Yu looked at his pitiful sister begging for hug, and then he remembered that he had not hugged her since his parents passed away. Every day he was ordered around by the eldest wife and rushed to do chores. Luo Yu used to think that this was the way to protect his sister, but she was still so young. What she needed was companionship and love, and she lacked a sense of security.

Thinking of this, Luo Yu stopped what she was doing, picked up her sister and comforted her: "Aci, don't be afraid, sister will always accompany and protect you, and will never leave you alone again, let's go together, okay?"

With the comfort from her elder sister, Luo Ci hugged her neck tightly, leaned on her shoulder, and relaxed herself a little.

As soon as he relaxed, Luo Yu heard Luo Ci's stomach rumbling. He knew that she was extremely hungry. She was probably not sure if she had eaten enough in the past few days because she was afraid.

While holding Luo Ci, Luo Yu went to look for food. After a while, he found a bag of flour and took it out to the kitchen.

Fortunately, her aunt gave her some cabbage when she moved, and even Uncle Shui picked up two buckets and put them in the kitchen. Luo Yu thought: "It's great, I have water, noodles and cabbage, so I won't starve."

Putting Luo Ci down, he said, "Sister is going to cook, can we cook together?"

Luo Ci smiled and nodded. Luo Yu found a bamboo basin, picked up some cabbage leaves and put them in it, scooped some water, and said to Luo Ci: "Then Ah Ci, help me wash the vegetables, and I will go and knead the dough."

After arranging Luo Ci, Luo Yu quickened her pace and began to knead the dough. After putting it aside to rise, she found some firewood and put it in the stove. She started to light the fire with a flint. It was her first time using a flint and she was not very skilled at it. It took her a while to light it.

After lighting the fire, Luo Yu washed the pot, added water, and put in the vegetables washed by Luo Ci. She asked Luo Ci to sit aside and began to pull the noodles. In order to prevent the noodles from sticking together, Luo Yu sprinkled flour. After a while, the water was boiled and bubbling in the pot. Luo Yu put the noodles in and stirred them from time to time.

While the noodles were cooking, she quickly found two bowls and prepared to add some seasonings, but she was overthinking it. A little lard and coarse salt was already good enough.

Put some lard and coarse salt in the bowl, take it to the stove, scoop some boiling water into it to melt the lard, and then scoop the noodles into the bowl.

She could eat with the bowl in her hand, but Luo Ci couldn't. She couldn't hold the bowl and would accidentally burn herself. She went outside to find the old table, put it in the kitchen, and put the noodles on it. Luo Yu stirred the noodles and blew on it, fearing that it was too hot and needed to be cooled down.

Luo Ci smelled the lard and her stomach had been growling for a long time, but she knew her sister was blowing the noodles for her, so she waited patiently. Luo Yu saw that it was almost done, so she asked Luo Ci to sit over and said, "Ah Ci, you can eat now. It's a little hot. Let's eat slowly. There's more in the pot. Don't worry."
