Chapter 4: A New Beginning

The two sisters got busy, Liu Yueren could only look at the fire and fight when she was young, and Liu Fang looked at the situation in the pot carefully with a serious face. The stove is very large, so there are two pots, one large and one small, and Liu Fang puts rice and water in the large pot to prepare for cooking. And it is best to cook noodles in a small pot.

Liu Yue sat on the stove, carefully covered her little red hands with heat, and then looked at Liu Fang happily: "Sister, come and bake the fire, I'll take a look at the pot." ”

Liu Fang shook her head: "No, I'm waiting for the water to boil before I can put noodles?" You're too small, and it's not good to wait for a burn. ”

Liu Yue thought to herself that in her previous life, she was cooking for the Lin family, how could the next noodles be hot? Looking at her sister's hands that were red from the cold when she was washing rice just now, Liu Yue stepped forward and pulled Liu Fang to the stove: "Sister, you can bake the fire for a while, and you can go to collect firewood when you warm your body!" Besides, wait a minute, what do you want to eat at noon? Now that you watch me do it, you can make it for your mother when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about me. ”

Liu Fang's face flushed: "I didn't worry about you?" I'm a sister, of course I can't let you get hurt, otherwise my father and mother won't scold me to death. ”

But she didn't get up but looked at Liu Yue carefully, Liu Yue didn't care, and saw that the water in the pot began to bubble, so she neatly put down the noodles on the side, and saw that it was enough for her mother to eat alone.

Liu Fang saw that her sister was nimble, and quipped: "I didn't expect Yue'er to still cook materials, when you grow up, you can cook for the family, just so I can go to work in the field with my mother." ”

Liu Yue was not angry at all, and responded happily: "Okay, Yue'er will definitely work hard to make delicious meals for my sister and mother." ”

The two sisters just talked and laughed, Liu Fang reminded Liu Yue from time to time, and Liu Yue also pretended not to know how to listen carefully. After a while, the noodles came out, and the rice was estimated to be about the same. But how should this dish be good?

Liu Yue looked at the house, only the radish stored by the mother was dried. I took the dried radish from the jar directly, then put some chili peppers in the pot, and then put the dried radish down. Start stir-frying. At first, Liu Fang thought that it must not have any taste, but after a while, she smelled the fragrance, of course, the most was the fragrance of chili peppers.

But eating spicy food in winter is the most cold-proof, so every family has dry spicy seeds. Liu Fang looked at her sister's serious appearance, she didn't expect her sister to be so capable, and she felt more and more that she wanted to do better. Otherwise, how can you be someone else's sister?

Liu Yue looked at her sister looking at her blankly, and her face flushed: "Sister, am I not doing well, I see that my mother did this, just give it a try." Wait a minute, don't say I'm not good at it! ”

Liu Fang breathed a long sigh of relief, it seems that her sister has only learned a lot from her mother, and she doesn't care about the kitchen very much, but only collects firewood to work. "Don't worry, it's not delicious, and my sister can't endure it, you can't let Yue'er lose face!"

Liu Yue pouted angrily, but the work in her hands did not stop. The two sisters laughed and didn't think it was about to dawn, and it seemed that their father was about to get up.

As soon as Liu Zhu got up, he heard the sound of the door opening. Liu Fang came in with a big bowl of egg noodles and a happy face: "Is my father and mother awake, this is the egg noodles made by Yue'er, let my mother eat it first and then sleep!" ”

Zhang woke up when Liu Zhu got up, and was worried about how to solve today's meal, but he didn't expect his daughters to get up early to make it. It's just that when I think about how my two daughters, an eight-year-old and a three-year-old, cook on such a cold day, my heart hurts extraordinarily.

Zhang sat up, and was afraid of disturbing his youngest son, so he frowned quietly: "Fang'er, why are you your sister messing around with Yue'er?" It's so cold, and the moon is still so young. can't do this anymore, when my mother finishes confinement, she will definitely make delicious food for your sisters to eat. ”

Liu Zhu also looked at Liu Fang with a heartache: "What your mother said is, didn't you say that your father would do it?" Yue'er doesn't like to get up early the most in this cold day, so it's you who pull Yue'er up! Didn't Dad tell you to let your sister take care of her more? Why don't you listen all the time? ”

Liu Fang just wanted to say something with an aggrieved face, Liu Yue entered the house with a meal, and looked at Liu Zhu with a happy face: "Dad, don't talk about sister anymore, I can't sleep in the morning and pull my sister up." Besides, there is a sister watching from the side, aren't you still at ease? ”

Zhang took the bowl in Liu Fang's hand, looked at the steaming noodles, and then saw the eggs on the noodles, his eyes became even more sour. But thinking that her daughters are so sensible, my heart suddenly feels so relaxed. When my confinement is over, my family will definitely get better.

Liu Zhu saw that Zhang's didn't say anything, he was eating with a bowl, looking at the rice on the table and a bowl of spicy fried dried radish, and his heart was even more unpleasant. His daughters got up early to cook, but they only had dried radishes to eat, and it was time for their daughters to grow up.

Tomorrow is the time to pay wages, and you must not pay half of your wages to your father, and your children will also eat! When he has money in the future, he will definitely be good to his father, but Chen himself will not be soft-hearted.

After the family finished eating, Liu Fang helped Liu Yue clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two sisters washed the dishes with the hot water left in the pot. It's not hot at all, it's just better than the frozen water outside.

Liu Fang looked at the few loads of firewood in the firewood room, and was also worried, she really had to save some firewood at home, otherwise she would have to buy firewood when it snowed and she couldn't find firewood. But how can the family have the money to buy it in this situation!

Of course, Liu Zhu also saw that there was no firewood at home for the winter, so he looked at Liu Fang very resolutely and said: "Fang'er, you just need to take care of our house, if your grandmother comes to make trouble, you will close the door and find Aunt Li." Presumably, there are many people for the sake of face, and your milk dares to do something.

When Dad comes back tonight, I'll go and tell your father clearly, don't worry! “

Liu Fang nodded happily when she heard this, and finally her father figured it out, and he would no longer let himself and his mother be cows for milk.

Liu Yue also looked at Liu Zhu seriously and said, "Dad, you have to talk to the point, otherwise Yue'er, her sister and little brother will ignore you." ”

Liu Zhu touched the heads of the two daughters and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Dad understands." Then he went to work.

Liu Fang and her sister glanced at each other, and their eyes were bright, so that they finally had hope that they would not have to be angry.

Liu Fang picked up her line and was ready to go to collect firewood with the sisters in the same village, Liu Yue sent Liu Fang away and went back to the house to clean up. I haven't washed the clothes I have changed at home in the past few days, and no one cares about the diapers that my little brother has changed.

Liu Yue saw that her mother was asleep again, so she carefully cleaned the house. Smelling the smell of milk in the house, Liu Yue was very satisfied. No, how tired is it to be at least now a family, isn't it?

Liu Yue's house is the house that the father gave to his father, only two of them are still very old, and later Liu Zhu's father added two rooms by himself, and there is also a warehouse. Later, Zhang's built a chicken coop and raised some chickens, otherwise it is estimated that his mother would have no eggs to eat now.

Thinking of the chicken at home, Liu Yue was worried, this chicken also eats, although there are only about a dozen now, but it is not difficult for the chicken to call the mother and have no eggs to make up for the body. Chickens want to eat grain, but there is not much millet at home.

What do you give chickens to eat? Liu Yue looked at the chicken room and worried. Liu Yue carried the family's clothes in a basket, and the younger brother's diapers were ready to be washed by the river. The riverside is where the villagers wash their clothes every day, so there are already many people around the river.

Everyone watched Liu Yue carrying a large pile of clothes and walking cautiously. I couldn't bear it in my heart, Aunt Li, who was washing clothes on the side, immediately stepped forward and took the clothes in Liu Yue's hand, and looked at Liu Yue distressedly: "Yue'er, why did you come to wash these clothes, what about your sister?" ”

Liu Yue knew that Aunt Li had a loud voice and the best heart, and she had helped her family before. smiled obediently: "Auntie, you are also doing laundry!" My sister went to collect firewood, and there was not enough firewood at home. My sister said that she was afraid that when it snowed heavily, there would be no firewood at home if she couldn't find firewood, so she went to collect firewood again. ”

Aunt Liu looked at the little girl in front of her whose face was a little red from the cold, and said softly: "Forget it, your family is not easy, your mother is in confinement, no wonder you can only do the work." Let's do it, this aunt will wash it for you! ”

Liu Yue hurriedly shook her head and said, "Auntie doesn't need it, Yue'er has to wash it herself." Besides, my little brother wets a lot of diapers every day, can you help me wash it today, what can I do tomorrow? Auntie, why don't you teach Yue'er to wash! Yue'er will definitely be cleaned. ”

After speaking, she looked at Aunt Li with wide eyes, Aunt Li and the women around her all knew the situation of Liu Yue's family, and although they were sympathetic, they couldn't help. However, I feel that Liu Yue is really sensible, and the three-year-old baby knows that she is relying on herself. Everyone coaxed: "The aunt of the Li family will hand over the moon girl, look at how intimate this girl is, we don't have such a caring girl." ”

Aunt Li thought about it and felt that what Yue'er said was reasonable, so she gave up a relatively good place next to herself, and then asked Liu Yue to squat on the side. Then take out a lot of clothes, let Liu Yue wet them first, then use some soaphorns, and then use a mallet to beat hard.

Liu Yue looked at Aunt Li's serious appearance, and thought to herself that she didn't know how many clothes she had washed before? But now that I'm a three-year-old kid, of course, if I don't understand anything.

After Aunt Li handed it over a few times, Liu Yue took the mallet and smiled: "Auntie, thank you, Yue'er try it herself, you also have a lot of clothes here that haven't been washed?" ”

After saying that, he took out the coat that his sister had changed and began to wash it, because the river was very cold in the cold weather, but with these women washing together, it felt as if the river water was also warmed by everyone. Liu Yue looked at this group of similar people, and only felt that her heart was very hot, and she must live well.

Aunt Li thought that Liu Yue was just joking, but when she saw that she was so tired from washing clothes, she would definitely not do it again. But seeing that the little girl seriously took out a piece of clothing and wet it, added soap horns, and then picked up a big mallet and beat it hard, I felt even more distressed.

I was also worried that my daughter would be frozen, but when I looked at the little person, I picked up a half-human-high mallet and beat it hard, and I didn't feel good in my heart.

Such a sensible daughter doesn't know which one is cheaper in the future? I don't have such a big boy in my own house, otherwise I would have to grab it.
