Chapter 60: Sleeping in separate rooms
Mu Xiu kneaded the balls into long strips, cut them into ten parts, rolled them into ten pancakes with a rolling pin, sprinkled them with a small amount of thirteen incense, and smeared them with a layer of oil, then collected the dough from both ends to the middle, then stretched it and rolled it from the two ends to the middle, rolled it up to the middle and stacked it together, put it in a pot, and began to steam.
Mu Xiu then cooked a small pot of wheat bran porridge, but the wheat bran that Mu Xiu used to cook the porridge was taken out of the space.
In the past, wheat bran had a bad taste, because it was dried in a dough basket, it was very rough, and decades later, wheat bran was a good coarse grain for people with excess nutrition, and the taste was also improved a lot, more delicate, Mu Xiu liked the taste of this improved wheat bran very much, so naturally prepared a lot.
Soon, the wheat bran porridge and wheat bran wild vegetable cake were ready, and Mu Xiu baked two more potatoes, served the porridge, and brought it to the living room of the main house.
"Dad, wash your hands and eat." Mu Xiu hugged Xiaohua, Xiaohua danced with her hands, babbling at Mu Xiu, Mu Xiu loved it very much.
After washing their hands with wooden water and sitting at the table, everyone began to eat with chopsticks.
"Dad, it's time for us to plough the ground and sow seeds, many people in the village are almost finished sowing, and our family hasn't started plowing the ground yet." Mu Xiu thought that when they went to find Chen Xiangyang today, the fields they passed by along the way were full of busy people.
"Yes, let's rest early tonight, and get up early tomorrow to work, fortunately, the half acre of land of Lao Sun Tou's family and the half acre of land divided by our family are separated by less than a mile, and this acre of land can be made in two days." Mu Shui has been doing crop work for so many years, and one acre of land is too easy for him.
"When the sowing is finished, Dad, let's plant some vegetables in the yard, you see these potatoes were dug up in the soil when I was packing up today."
"I was just about to ask you, where did you get these potatoes?" Zhou Shuilian said while eating. "And this bran cake is so delicious, even the porridge is better than what was made in the past."
"Yes, there seems to be white flour in this wheat bran cake?" Mu Shui said.
"Well, wheat bran doesn't taste good alone, so I put some white flour on it." Mu Xiu explained.
"Xiu, when did you cook so delicious, this wheat bran cake tastes so smooth, what seasonings are put in this, why does it taste so delicious." Mu Shui chewed wheat bran cake in his mouth, and praised Mu Xiu in a muffled voice.
"Dad, when I was cooking for others in the hospital, the seasoning they gave me was a seasoning made from a lot of things, and I didn't use it up, so I put some seasoning in the cake just now." Mu Xiu was very glad that he met Lu Niandong, so he could push them when he encountered some unexplainable things......
But it's not all the work of the seasoning, this cake is also brushed back and forth with a lot of oil, otherwise how can the wheat bran taste so soft......
"I don't know when I will be able to eat white flour steamed buns all at once." When Zhou Shuilian heard Mu Xiu talk about the Lu family, she couldn't help but think about the good things she ate when she was in the provincial capital, and she sighed a little.
"Yes, when the crops are harvested, leave a few dozen catties of white noodles and make white flour steamed buns for your mother and three to eat." Mu Shui drank the porridge in a few sips and put down the rice bowl.
"Dad, there's still one in the pot, I'll serve you another bowl." Mu Xiu said.
Mu Shui was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned a little red.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Shuilian noticed his strangeness first.
"It's okay, I'll serve the meal myself." Mu Shui sniffed, picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen.
When Mu Shui heard Mu Xiu's words just now, he felt sad for a while, after so many years, no matter how hungry or full, he always only ate one bowl at each meal, and he didn't dare to eat again.
Because if you go to add food, you will be blinded by Liu Yumei, and you will be reprimanded.
I really didn't expect that after the separation, I could eat and drink so freely, and eat as much as I wanted.
After eating, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu began to clean up the bed, the two of them spread a layer of straw on the bed, and then pressed a thin quilt with patches that could not be seen, and spread sheets on it, and the bed was even tied.
"Mother, I want to sleep in the next room." Mu Xiu pointed outside.
"Okay." Zhou Shuilian thought about it for a while and agreed.
The mother and daughter came to the next room, which was smaller than the room of Mu Shui and his wife, and it was empty, only an earthen kang and a dilapidated wooden box.
"Xiu, the conditions didn't allow it before, and I have always wronged you, such a big girl, and she still sleeps with us." Zhou Shuilian said sadly while carefully laying straw on the kang.
"It's okay, it's not all right now." Mu Xiu comforted Zhou Shuilian and said.
God knows how much Mu Xiu hates sleeping on a kang with Mu Shui, even if Mu Shui is the father of this body...... Thinking that he could have an independent room, Mu Xiu was very excited at this time!
After the beds were made, Mu Xiu yawned loudly, and Zhou Shuilian brought a thin quilt to Mu Xiu.
"Xiu, you cover this quilt first, and when you turn back, your mother will find a way to change your bed." Zhou Shuilian spread the quilt on the kang with some sadness.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Liu Yimei did a great job, when Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu went to the provincial capital, Liu Yimei ran to Zhou Shuilian's room and took away their thick quilts and clean mattresses, and then threw the old bedding that she didn't know how long she had used into Zhou Shuilian's room.
After Zhou Shuilian came back, she found out, but she didn't even have the courage to ask Liu Mimei......
Mu Xiu took over the hard and heavy old cotton quilt, which was really disgusting... But it's okay, she has a soft and good quilt in her space.
"Well, okay, mother, go back to sleep too." Mu Xiu's face was well-behaved.
Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu and sighed, and left.
Before going to sleep, the wood water is smoked with pine needles inside and outside the house to repel mosquitoes.
When there was no movement outside, Mu Xiu plugged the bolt of his door, threw the old cotton quilt to the end of the bed, and took out the silk quilt he had covered before from the space, and the soft and close-fitting silk quilt was covered on his body, Mu Xiu sighed with satisfaction.
But then Mu Xiu became distressed again, it was only the end of October, the weather was not cold, and in another month, these thin mattresses and quilts would not be able to withstand the cold at all.
Mu Xiu himself can also use the space to cheat, but Mu Shui Zhou Shuilian has to add some thick bedding, what should I do...... After a busy day, Mu Xiu thought about it and fell asleep......
In the early morning, when the sky was bright, Mu Xiu opened his eyes, and at the same time, there was movement in the next room, and it seemed that Zhou Shuilian should have woken up.
