Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The delicious food of life
The next day, Li Rou got up early and borrowed a bag of cornmeal from her sister-in-law's house next door. She mixed it with rice bran and water to shape it, and steamed a pot of bran buns.
She also cooked another half bowl of rice soup and fed the little guy on the side.
The three siblings sat in a circle, each holding a bran bun. Wei Yu had a blank expression on his face, and he could bite off half of it in one bite, and eat one in no time.
Wei Shuang had a bitter face, took two bites, but couldn't eat it anymore, and pulled Wei Yu's arm: "Brother, let's go to the mountain to get bird eggs later."
Wei Yu had the same idea: "Okay, let's go get bird eggs and come back to nourish my sister-in-law."
Only Wei Jingshu kept the same eating speed, with a look of enjoyment on her face.
She finished her portion in no time, and then stared at Wei Shuang's portion.
She swallowed her saliva, and the sound of swallowing attracted Wei Shuang. She followed Wei Jingshu's line of sight and fixed on her bran bun. She quickly pushed the bun to Wei Jingshu: "Sister, you eat it."
Wei Jingshu nodded, and ate the bran bun clean in a few bites. She patted her slightly swollen belly and exclaimed: "It's delicious!"
The brother and sister stared at her as if they had seen a ghost. Wei Yu was the first to speak: "Sister, you never ate rice bran before."
Although Wei Jingshu was stupid before, she was very particular about food. Since her brother passed away, no matter who among the four had delicious food, she would go first. Wei Jingshu
blinked, said "Oh", and turned to look at the little guy.
Wei Yu was a little disappointed that he didn't talk to his second sister.
Since the second sister woke up yesterday, it seemed that she didn't pay much attention to them.
"Sister-in-law, we went to the mountain to touch bird eggs." Wei Shuang was careless and didn't find so much. If there was anything, she would think about it for a while and then forget it.
She pulled Wei Yu out and reported to Li Rou.
After getting Li Rou's consent, he pulled his brother out.
Li Rou carefully taught Wei Jingshu how to feed the little guy rice porridge. After Wei Jingshu learned it, she completely handed it over to her and simply ate her share of the meal.
After breakfast, Li Rou began to clean up the house again.
Zhou's mother and son only gave them four people an adobe room, and four people slept on one bed. It was already crowded, and now there was another little guy, so it was natural to change.
Li Rou cleaned up for a day and made bran buns for dinner, but no matter how long she waited, she didn't see Wei Yu and Wei Shuang.
"A Shu, go along the main road to look for Xiao Yu and Xiao Shuang."
Wei Jingshu didn't doubt it and went out to look for her brother and sister. Before she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw the figures of two little guys waving sickles in the farmland.
The two should have been working for a long time, and there was a high pile of rice behind them.
Wei Jingshu jumped into the sky and approached Wei Yu and Wei Shuang, and picked up one in each hand.
"Go home for dinner."
Wei Jingshu's words were simple, but the two struggled to land on the ground: "Sister, we still have to collect rice, you go back first, and tell sister-in-law not to worry."
"Rice?" Wei Jingshu tilted her head slightly, not understanding.
"It's food, food." Wei Yu explained.
Wei Jingshu's eyes lit up immediately, staring at the yellow and orange field in the field.
"You can't eat it raw." Wei Yu quickly pulled Wei Jingshu, who was about to move, and continued to explain, "You have to harvest it first, then process the rice, and then you can cook white rice to eat."
At this point, Wei Yu and Wei Shuang swallowed their saliva at the same time.
Since the death of their eldest brother, they haven't eaten white rice for half a year.
Wei Jingshu also swallowed her saliva and said excitedly: "I can harvest and process."
Wei Jingshu said seriously, then half bent down and looked at the smart little Wei Yu, blinking: "Can you teach me?"
Although Wei Jingshu was stupid since childhood, she was raised very well by her family. Although she suffered for half a year, she was still fair.
Wei Yu looked at Wei Jingshu blankly, touched his head, and answered irrelevantly: "My sister is so beautiful."
Wei Shuang also nodded seriously and said seriously: "My sister is the most beautiful."
Without getting a response from the two, Wei Jingshu was not annoyed. She took the sickle from Wei Shuang's hand, recalled what she saw when she came, and harvested the rice.
But she either cut too high or too low, and Wei Yu couldn't stand it, so he personally instructed.
Wei Jingshu was also smart. Wei Yu only demonstrated it once and she remembered it. She was thinking about food, so she forgot Li Rou's instructions completely until Li Rou came to find her.
She threw the sickle into the rice field and pretended to be serious to the two of them: "I told you not to go home, so I made your sister-in-law run a trip."
Fearing that the two would expose her, Wei Jingshu once again picked up one in each hand and followed Li Rou.
At the dinner table, Wei Jingshu was working hard. Li Rou asked: "Didn't you two go to the mountain to pick bird eggs? Why did you go to harvest rice?"
The family's fields were contracted by Zhou's mother and son. The four of them didn't even get the scraps, and they could only rely on the rice bran donated by the three of them for food.
"We met my aunt on the way to the mountain. My aunt said that they would stay in the county for three days. As long as my brother and I can harvest the grain in the field within three days, we will give us a bag of rice and an old hen."
Wei Yu also nodded: "I heard from Wang's sister-in-law that she needs to replenish her body after giving birth. After my sister and I finish harvesting the rice, we can replenish my sister-in-law's body."
That's so slow!
Wei Jingshu muttered and raised her head from the bran bun: "You go and touch the bird eggs, I'll collect the rice."
"Great." Wei Shuang clapped her hands happily and pushed the bran bun in front of her to Wei Jingshu, "Sister, eat more, so you can have strength tomorrow."
Wei Jingshu took out another nutrient solution and threw it to Wei Shuang, and Wei Yu also looked at it eagerly.
This little thing given by her sister, it seems that you won't be hungry after drinking it.
Wei Jingshu took out two more, one for Wei Yu and one for Li Rou, and the two caught them and couldn't let go.
"Sister-in-law, what is your nephew's name?" Wei Shuang looked at the little guy in Li Rou's arms excitedly again.
The little guy has not been named yet. Li Rou wants to wait until the child is older, take him to the county, and find a famous teacher to give him a name.
She thought of the little guy's cheerful look and said, "Give him a nickname first, let's call him Le'er, I hope Le'er can bring happiness to our family of four."
Wei Yu and Wei Shuang clapped their hands and Wei Jingshu also smiled and squinted her eyes, thinking that this name is very good.
Not only did she survive, but she also came to the ancient blue star and tasted something she had never tasted before. She was very happy and wanted to stay happy forever.
She couldn't help licking her lips, eating the bran buns, but she missed the taste of rice in the fields.
Le'er seemed to know her name and laughed "chuckle".
The atmosphere of joy spread in the small space in an instant. The family of five was happy and joyful, and the current embarrassment was forgotten in an instant.
