Li Ziyu "chuckled" in her heart. She was patronized and happy, but she forgot that she was only eleven years old and still a young girl. No, it must be made clear, lest there be any more motivational things in the future that will make them suspicious. You might as well exaggerate, you will have more skills, and solve it at one time. So he retracted the smile on his face and said in a low voice: "I have something to tell you, since I woke up, I seem to have a lot more ability, and my strength has also increased." I also found out today when I went to chop wood, so don't tell me about it. Maybe it was my father and mother who watched us too hard in the sky and prayed for the blessing of God and Buddha that I had the ability. Li Ziyu knew that the ancient people were very superstitious, and this matter could only be attributed to the gods and Buddhas, so that it made sense and they could believe it. Sure enough, Xiaoshan was stunned at first, and then showed a sudden expression of realization on his face: "I said, we don't dare to go to the mountains normally, and my sister also told me not to go, why did I fight a roe deer today, it turned out to be blessed by God and Buddha." Xiaowen's face turned red with shame, and he stammered: "Sister, I don't believe you, I just" Li Ziyu interrupted him with a smile: "Okay, I know what you mean, you're also worried about me." It's something I have the ability to do, and try not to let outsiders know. Xiaoshan and Xiaowen nodded again and again: "Don't worry, sister, we won't say it!" This is our family's secret, how can we let outsiders know? Xiao Wu looked at his sister in amazement, with a face full of admiration: "Sister, can you fight a tiger?" In a word, the sisters laughed, and the atmosphere in the room was completely relaxed.

Xiaohu and Xiaolan didn't know what to understand, and when they saw Li Ziyu patronizing and ignoring them, they hurriedly pounced on Li Ziyu, hugged one of their thighs, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, hug." "Every time Li Ziyu comes back from chopping wood, he will hug the two small ones. My mother gave birth to them and died in childbirth, and my father died in an accident two years ago when chopping wood. They haven't seen their mother since they were children, and their impression of their father is almost gone. Therefore, Li Ziyu, who is both a father and a mother, loves the two little ones very much.

Li Ziyu squatted down, took the two little ones into her arms, and kissed their little faces: "Xiaohu and Xiaolan, have you heard about it at home (I heard that it means obedient)?" Wait, my sister will give you roe deer meat to eat. Xiaohu asked in a milky voice: "Is the roe deer meat delicious?" Xiaolan stared at the clear apricot eyes, and her face was full of doubts: "Eat meat?" What does meat taste like? In a word, it didn't provoke Li Ziyu's tears. Yes, since Daddy died, they can't afford to eat meat, not to mention oil. Every day they are in a state of hunger, even the sorghum is not enough. She forcibly suppressed the bitterness in her stomach, kissed Xiaohu and Xiaolan on the faces a few more times, and stood up: "Okay, you just wait." Sister, I'll clean it up, and you'll know what the meat tastes like in a while. When she turned around, she found Xiao Wu looking at her blankly and with admiration on her face. Her heart couldn't help but hurt, and she reached out to hold Xiao Wu into her arms. It was she who ignored it. He was only two years old when his mother went, and he was only three years old when his father died, which is the age when he needs his father's love, and she only cares about the two younger ones. Li Ziyu can't be blamed for this. When her mother died, she was eight years old, and she was busy helping her father take care of her two younger siblings who were waiting to be fed. finally pulled my younger siblings to more than a year old, and my father went again. At only nine years old, she supported the whole family. Exhausted and exhausted every day, she didn't even have time to cry, she was just a big child. To be honest, they also yearn for the love of their parents and envy those children who are loved by their mothers and maintained by their fathers. Especially at the moment when she knew that her father had died, Li Ziyu felt that the sky of their Li family had collapsed! At that moment, she had the urge to go with her father! It was the cry of her younger siblings that woke her up and let her know that she still had younger siblings to feed, and from this moment on, she was the heaven of the Li family! She's got to hold the sky up!

Li Ziyu patted Xiao Wu's back, and hugged him hard before letting go. Xiao Wu touched his head embarrassedly, but there was a satisfied and happy smile on his face.

Li Ziyu untied the dry firewood from the bamboo basket, and under the surprised eyes of the younger siblings, more than 50 catties of dry firewood were carried in one hand and placed in the northwest corner of the hall. Take a pot, pick out the weeds in the camellia, and put the picked camellia into the pot. With the last force, he took out more than 100 catties of roe deer.

"Wow!" The younger siblings exclaimed in unison.

Li Ziyu smiled and touched the heads of her younger siblings one by one, and asked, "Do you want to be a capable person?" Xiao Wu asked, "Is it like the eldest sister?" Li Ziyu said: "Now you are the same as the eldest sister, and you will be stronger than the eldest sister in the future." "I want to learn!" Xiao Wu said firmly. Xiaoshan's face was full of solemnity and seriousness: "Sister, I want to learn skills, I don't want you to work so hard." I am the eldest son in the family, and I will support this family. Xiaowen had a solemnity on his face that did not match his age: "Sister, I want to learn all your skills!" Xiaohu and Xiaolan also shouted ignorantly: "Learn skills!" Learn the skills! "Good!" Li Ziyu also became serious: "Although our parents are gone, we are still there. Each of us is the pillar of the family. In the future, I will teach you my skills little by little, and you must be prepared to endure hardships. Xiaoshan and Xiaowen glanced at each other and said in unison: "We are not afraid of hardship!" Xiao Wu also continued: "I'm not afraid of hardship! "Don't be afraid of hardship! Don't be afraid of hardship! Xiaohu and Xiaolan also shouted, with bright smiles on their cute faces. Although they don't understand what their brothers and sisters say, they really like the atmosphere at home.

Li Ziyu smiled: "Okay, I'm going to skin the roe deer, you guys are obedient." Saying that, Li Ziyu took out a whetstone from the corner of the wall, took the kitchen knife and sharpened it. It wasn't until I felt the sharpness of the blade that I stopped. Peeling the roe deer is not fast, and it will affect the integrity of the skin. Under the almost adoring gaze of all the younger brothers and sisters, Li Ziyu quickly peeled off the roe deer skin, spread it out and hung it aside. Put the internal organs in a basin, and the remaining roe deer meat is still more than 100 catties. Li Ziyu put the roe deer meat back into the bamboo basket, which will be sold tomorrow. She took the wooden board on the water tank, that is, the cutting board, and cut five catties of roe deer meat. Because the younger siblings are not big, for their convenience, the roe deer meat is cut very small. Xiaoshan quickly brushed out the two pots, and Li Ziyu nodded secretly. This second brother has a job in his eyes, and he knows that he protects his younger siblings, and he already has the demeanor of an eldest son.

Li Ziyu's north pot was filled with five large scoops of water. Although the roe deer meat is not old, it has to be stewed for more than half an hour, so the water is put in more. Six scoops of water were added to the pot on the south side, and the water in this pot was prepared to wash your hands and feet before going to bed. Li Ziyu put the cut roe deer meat into the pot in the north, stirred it a few times with a spatula, and covered the pot. Wash the cutting board and put it on the water tank, which is a medium-sized tank with a tight lid on the cutting board. It stands to reason that roe deer meat should be blanched with water, but Li Ziyu didn't do that because it was too late, and he couldn't eat enough and couldn't pay attention to it, and there was no seasoning, so he couldn't get that taste. Alas, if there is only one green onion and a slice of ginger, this roe deer meat is a different taste. It's a pity that I can only think about it. Xiaoshan took a handful of firewood and lit it with flint and steel. In this house, there is no rule that men do not enter the kitchen. If she had waited for Li Ziyu to do any work, she would have been exhausted to death, no, in fact, she was already exhausted. Li Ziyu didn't blindly protect her younger brothers and sisters, and let them do the work they should do. For example, cutting wood and digging wild vegetables, except for the three small ones, the two big ones have to be done. Even though one of them was seven years old and the other was nine, she wanted them to know that life was difficult.

After a while, the pot was boiled, and Li Ziyu put aside a handful of salt. Even though there is no seasoning, the aroma of roe roe deer meat with only salt on it fills the room.

Li Ziyu washed the selected wild camellia for later use, and saw that there were a lot of wild camellia, so he kept some of them. It was about half an hour, Li Ziyu lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, and tasted the saltiness with a spatula. When the broth enters the mouth, a fragrant smell fills the mouth. Wow, it really smells good. Turning to look at the five pairs of hungry eyes, he couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I'll eat right away." Then he put the roe deer meat in a rice spoon and put it in a basin, leaving some soup in the pot and adding a scoop of water. After boiling, put a scoop of sorghum noodles into the pot, stir it with chopsticks, and put the washed camellia into the pot as well. Seeing that the pot was boiling, I quickly put the wild camellia sorghum paste into the pot. I brushed the pot and added five scoops of water, this one was reserved for a while to wash the dishes. She added a few larger pieces of wood to the stove, and used the two adobe bricks to plug the stove hole. Such a fire is not big, but it will never be extinguished, and it will not be frozen and awakened at night.

There was no table, so Li Ziyu put the bamboo basket containing roe deer meat in the middle of the house, and took the cutting board and laid it flat on the bamboo basket. After pressing and steady, he carefully placed the meat bowl on the cutting board. Li Ziyu secretly thought in her heart, she must make a dinner table in the future, even if it is a kang table. Well, I also saved a stool, and it was warm to eat on the kang. Watching the younger brothers and sisters staring at the fragrant, fragrant roe meat in the pot without speaking, I could clearly hear the sound of them swallowing saliva. Li Ziyu clapped her hands and said, "Let's eat standing today, and we'll eat around the meat bowl." If you want to eat meat, you can eat it from the basin with chopsticks, and if you want to eat wild camellia and sorghum, you can go to the pot and serve it. Don't be afraid, sister, give it to you. Today's meal is eaten with the belly open, and it is definitely enough to be full. It's good to eat. After speaking, he asked Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, can you eat it yourself?" I can't eat my sister's feed. "You can eat and eat, sister, don't worry about me." As he spoke, Xiao Wu scooped up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and immediately grinned, but he still chewed and swallowed it, choking and rolling his eyes, but he smiled: "Wow, it's so delicious!" With that, he continued to attack the meat bowl. Xiaohu on the side, anxious eyes were red: "Eat, meat." Xiaolan also pursed her lips, tears glistening: "Sister, Lan Lan eats." Li Ziyu hurriedly filled a bowl of meat and comforted the two little ones: "Don't worry, there is a lot of meat, let's eat it, let's open our mouths" Xiaohu ate a piece of meat and immediately stared at the round eyes, and without speaking, his eyes were staring at the next piece of meat. Xiaolan tasted the taste of meat, and smiled with tearful apricot eyes: "Meat, delicious." Li Ziyu fed the two little ones happily, and when she looked up, she found that Xiaoshan and Xiaowen were just standing in a daze, and they didn't eat. Busy said: "Why don't you eat it yet?" What are you waiting for? Won't it be cold later? Xiaoshan said, "We are waiting for my sister to eat together." "Oh, no, you see, I can eat it with cold sauce." As he spoke, he really took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Wow, it really smells good. Xiaoshan and Xiaowen saw that their sister could really eat, so they hurriedly took the bowl and ate it. To be honest, they have wanted to eat it for a long time. It's still the meat that Daddy ate when he was alive, and the independent gluttonous worm has long been called Huanshi, but it's just holding back. My sister worked so hard and chopped wood and brought roe deer, but my sister didn't eat it, why were they embarrassed to eat it? Although there is a full pot of meat, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen invariably control the amount of food. They all wanted to save some meat for their younger siblings. After all, this time the roe deer was a coincidence, where will there be such a good thing in the future. Xiao Wu was small after all, so he didn't think about it so much, so he just shook off his cheeks and ate violently, and almost choked a few times, looking frightened.

Li Ziyu noticed that Xiaoshan and Xiaowen didn't dare to let go of eating, so she comforted: "You two can eat with confidence, believe in sister, there will be better food than this in the future." Have you forgotten your sister's ability? ”

Xiaoshan and Xiaowen glanced at each other, and looked at their sister expectantly, as if to confirm the credibility of what she had just said, until Li Ziyu nodded, and they laughed happily. Next, I really let go of my belly and eat again.

This meal, the one that eats is called hearty, and everyone has eaten it. Five catties of roe deer meat and most of the pots of wild camellia sorghum were eaten cleanly. It's been more than two years, and since their father died, they have eaten meat for the first time, and it is also the first time they have eaten full. They couldn't remember what the meat tasted like. What they worry about every day is how they can cut more firewood, how they can sell more money, how they can not starve, and how they can not be cold. They live in fear every day. Especially when Li Ziyu fell and injured himself, the two Xiao and Xiao Wu were still ignorant, but they were afraid that there was a brother above. Xiaoshan and Xiaowen felt deep fear and fear. They still remember that their mother and father said they would leave. They are afraid that their sister will never wake up again, just like their father and mother. It was really the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, and it woke my sister up again.
