"Give it to me, baby wants to sleep. Lu Yao took the little girl, held it in his arms and shook it gently, babbling and humming a lullaby in his mouth, and began to coax her to sleep.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Lu Yao and Hao Dachun fed the four children before they began to eat.

After lunch, Hao Dachun washed the dishes and cleaned up, and Lu Yao took care of the four children to take a nap. Seeing that the children were asleep, Lu Yao wanted to go to work in the orchard, but he thought of waiting for Chen Gong's call. So he asked Hao Dachun to take a nap first, and he took the books to A-Ying's room to do practice problems and take care of the four children.

At half past two in the afternoon, Hao Dachun and the children woke up, but Lu Yao still did not receive a call from Chen Gong. His heart was a little anxious, and a few right fingers kept fiddling with the pencil, but his eyes were staring at the book in a daze.

"Big brother, you didn't wait for Chen Gong's call in a hurry, right? Maybe Chen Gong is too busy and won't call back until later. Hao Dachun said.

"Well, I guess so. Brother Dachun, what supplements did your mother take when she gave birth to your sister? Do you remember?" Lu Yao asked.

"I remember when my mother gave birth to her eldest sister, the situation at home was still very bad, and I didn't even eat a single chicken. In the first two or three days after my mother gave birth to my eldest sister, in addition to eating three meals as usual, my father would cook a bowl of mash eggs for my mother in the morning and afternoon. At that time, there were only two hens raised at home, and they were reluctant to eat the usual eggs, so as long as they accumulated one or twenty eggs, they would be sold in the town for money to subsidize the family. So sometimes there were two eggs in the mash that my mother ate, sometimes one egg, and after three days, there was not even one egg.

Later, when my mother gave birth to a little sister, my uncle had already gone to Nanguang City to work. My uncle would send money to the family on time every month, and the family's situation began to improve. My mother sat in that confinement and ate several chickens, and basically ate pork every day. Two years ago, my mother also told us that a week before giving birth to my little sister, my uncle sent 500 yuan home, and my father bought a lot of delicious things for my mother to make up for my body. Hao Dachun said.

"Well, when a woman gives birth to a child, in addition to having a lot of blood, the consumption of physical energy and energy is also very large, so the body is very weak, and she must take care of herself after giving birth. During the hospitalization, the eldest sister always ate meals in the hospital, and her nutrition was definitely not enough. We have to make some soup for the eldest sister and make up for her. Lu Yao said.

"Yes, the eldest sister should be made up. What kind of soup is the eldest brother going to make for the eldest sister? The physique of southerners and northerners is different, I wonder what supplements should southern women take during the period of confinement?" Hao Dachun asked.

"I didn't have time to ask the eldest sister, and at night when the children fell asleep, I went to the hospital to ask the eldest sister. I remember when my mother gave birth to my younger siblings in confinement, she ate a lot of pheasants and hares that my father and my eldest brother went to hunt in the mountains. Although my mother gave birth to five of our siblings, and she is also older, except for the occasional toothache, there is no other illness on her body, and it seems that my mother's nutrition in confinement has kept up. Combined with the knowledge we have learned in books, the meat of chicken, duck and fish, pigs, cattle and sheep is the most supplemented. In this way, I will immediately go down the mountain to buy a chicken and come back, make a bowl of chicken soup for the eldest sister, and send it over tonight, and then ask her what she wants to eat?" Lu Yao said, standing up and walking towards the door.

Three older little girls were playing with toys on the ground, and when they saw Lu Yao leaving the room, they ran over and grabbed Lu Yao's trouser leg together, shouting to find their mother.

"Big brother, the children can't do without you, or I'll go down the mountain to buy **." When I was at home, I often went to the street to buy groceries, and I knew how to bargain with the vendors. Hao Dachun said.

"You often buy groceries at home?" Lu Yao asked in surprise.

"Big brother forgot, I once told you, did my parents run restaurants in our hometown for more than ten years? The last time I carried the food on the train, it was all made by my parents. Every day, my parents have to be busy with the business in the restaurant, and I need to buy some meat or green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., and I go to the street to buy them. Hao Dachun said with a smile.

"Okay, that's hard work for you. There is a vegetable market and a large supermarket in Fuwei Village, and there is a shop in the vegetable market that specializes in killing chickens, ducks and geese. I have to remind you that you have to bargain when buying things in the vegetable market, and most of the vendors' scales have been manipulated, and it is common for them to be short of two catties. The things in the supermarket are all at a clear price, and the meat and vegetables are slightly more expensive than those in the market, but I recommend you to buy them in the supermarket. Lu Yao said.

"Understood, I'll go down the mountain right away and I'll be back soon. After Hao Dachun finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Come back, you haven't brought any money yet!" Lu Yao shouted.

"I have money on me, and when I came over this time, my uncle gave me five hundred yuan, which I haven't spent yet. Hao Dachun stopped, turned around and said with a smile.

"How can I spend your money? Even if I agree, the eldest sister will not agree! A few little ones grabbed me and didn't let go, you can go to the drawer under the dresser and get it yourself. Lu Yao said.

"Not really!"

"Obedient!Otherwise, I'll go down the mountain by myself!" Lu Yao said with a glare.

"Oh well. Hao Dachun walked to the dresser, opened the drawer, and saw a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills neatly placed inside, he asked, "Big brother, why don't you have change?"

"Take a hundred, it's going to be used anyway. Do you know how to ride a bike?" Lu Yao asked.

"I will, I've been riding a bicycle for five or six years, and my riding skills are so good that I can ride backwards in the fields of my hometown!" Hao Dachun said with a smile.

"Really? Are you sure you're not bragging? Falling in the fields of your hometown is not in the way, it's a big deal to get covered in mud. But going down from the orchard, it's all winding dirt and stone roads, with a few sharp turns, and cliffs, which are very dangerous! Forget it, for the sake of safety, you might as well walk down the mountain!" Lu Yao said.

"Don't! I can ride a bicycle, so why do I have to walk? What a waste of time? Big brother, don't worry, although I say that riding a bicycle backwards in the field is bragging, but I have learned to ride a bicycle for five or six years. Before the start of last semester, my uncle bought me a permanent bike. I ride my bike back and forth from the dormitory building to the teaching building every day, and my skills are absolutely excellent!" said Hao Dachun.

"Alright, I'll believe you. There is a bicycle in the tool room, which the eldest sister rode when she went down the mountain to buy something. Since the eldest sister can ride, I believe you have no problem. However, you must be slow when riding down the mountain, and when you reach a dangerous section, it is best to get down and push the cart, safety first!" Lu Yao advised.
