Chapter 57: Breakfast
Mu Shui is really a good man who lives at home, although his temperament is a little weaker, Mu Xiu looked at Mu Shui and thought.
The quail eggs were quickly cooked, Mu Xiu wrapped the handle with a cloth, took the enamel jar down, gently poured the quail eggs into a cup made of bamboo, and then scooped another jar of water in the basin, put it in its place, waited for the water to boil, added a small handful of flour, and continued to add fire.
Mu Xiu took out a knife, cut the dried sweet potatoes into finger-wide slices, put them in, and waited until the quail eggs were almost cold, and the dried sweet potato porridge was cooked.
Mu Xiu poured the sweet potato porridge in the enamel jar into the bamboo cup, they split up, and did not get the bowl, fortunately Mu Shui brought his own knife, yesterday was also used with the knife, early in the morning Mu Shui went to split the bamboo, made three bamboo cups, and cut three bamboo chopsticks, can also make do.
Mu Xiu still had some emotion in her heart when she picked up the enamel jar, this was given to her by Lu Niandong, she took it out to hold quail eggs last night, but she didn't expect this to be a ready-made cooking pot.
Mu Xiu brought Zhou Shuilian a bowl of dried sweet potato porridge, and put 10 quail eggs, Mu Shui was 7 quail eggs, and she ate three by herself.
"Xiu, why are you putting so much for me, you eat more and grow your body." Mu Shui picked up the quail eggs in his bamboo cup and was about to stuff them for Mu Xiu.
"I like to eat dried sweet potatoes." Mu Xiu avoided Mu Shui's hand and gulped down dried sweet potatoes.
When Mu Shui heard this, he picked up the dried sweet potatoes in his bowl with bamboo chopsticks and put them in Mu Xiu's cup, Mu Xiu was a little disgusted, but seeing that Mu Shui hadn't touched the rice yet, she reluctantly accepted Mu Shui's kindness.
"Enough is enough." After Mu Shui clamped two pieces, Mu Xiu hurriedly stopped him.
Mu Shui smiled innocently, stopped, and ate with relish in the bamboo cup.
Mu Xiu looked at her bowl, she only divided some of it herself, most of it was given to Mu Shui and Zhou Shuilian, dried sweet potatoes tasted good, but no matter how good they were, they were just dried sweet potatoes, Mu Xiu ate the food in the space when she was hungry, so she was not very interested in these foods.
"Mother, I can't finish eating, I'll give you some." Mu Xiu saw that Zhou Shuilian's cup was half empty, and she pulled her rice into Zhou Shuilian's bowl.
"Hey, I'm full, don't give it to me, you eat it yourself." Zhou Shuilian hurriedly excused herself.
"Then I can't finish it and pour it!" Mu Xiu was about to fall to the ground.
"You kid! When did you become such a loser! Then give it to your father......" Zhou Shuilian saw Mu Xiu's actions and hurriedly handed over the cup.
"Give your mother food, I'm full." Mu Shui covered his bamboo cup.
Looking at these simple food, the couple still let me and I let you, Mu Xiu's heart is warm, she has always wanted a warm home, although Mu Shui and Zhou Shuilian's personalities give her a headache, but as long as everyone loves each other, it is more important than anything else, and everything is prosperous with family and talent!
"It's been a long time since I've eaten like this." In the end, Mu Xiu's food was still distributed to Mu Shui, because Mu Shui still had to do a lot of work today, and he had to eat enough.
"Daddy, when did you bring out the dried sweet potatoes, these mothers who eat usually watch very strictly." Zhou Shuilian was also full, she asked curiously.
"I didn't bring the sweet potatoes dry, by the way, this is Xiu cooked." Mu Shui reacted at this time, and he also looked at Mu Xiu strangely.
"Last time my grandmother was drying dried sweet potatoes, I saw my aunt secretly pretending there, so I also pretended a little, and I hid it in the cabinet all the time, and when I left yesterday, I secretly hid the dried sweet potatoes in my clothes and brought them out." Mu Xiu said calmly.
When Mu Shui heard Mu Xiu stealing something, he felt that this was wrong, and he was about to say a few words to her, but Zhou Shuilian, who knew his temperament well, pulled the corner of his clothes and shook his head at him.
Mu Shui reacted and sighed, it was still useless for him, the child was often hungry, and the child would steal things.
"Alas, my mother didn't give us anything, we didn't have any belongings, and the responsibility field was only given half an acre, and we have to hurry up to turn over the land and plant wheat these days, and stay up until June next year to receive food, so long, what does our family eat and wear for a year." Zhou Shuilian said worriedly: "There is also a house, this is about to be winter, so you can't just leave it like this." ”
When Mu Shui came back yesterday, Zhou Shuilian had already slept, so she didn't know about Mu Xiu's plan to rent a house.
"Mother...... I remember that every year we have some cotton and floral cloth at home, and we don't have any new clothes to wear! Mu Xiu couldn't help but say.
"Then I can give a few pieces of cloth and patch it, but even the patched cloth is gone......" Zhou Shuilian looked sad.
No wonder people are short-sighted...... Just a few rags, Zhou Shuilian has to think about it, this is all a lack of things and ruthlessness, and a little favor can make her feel hopeful.
"Mother, it's almost noon, I'll go to the village party secretary with my father, he said yesterday to help us find a house, and there will be news at noon." Mu Xiu said.
"Thank God, then I'll take Xiaohua first, look around here, if there are any wild vegetables or food, you can go over in a while, children's father, the village party secretary is a good person, you go and see what the village party secretary needs help to do, be diligent." Zhou Shuilian instructed Mu Shui, after all, they are now poor and white, and only this strength can be used.
Mu Shui listened and nodded non-stop.
Mu Xiu didn't open her mouth to stop Zhou Shuilian from looking for something to eat, after all, even if she said to let Zhou Shuilian rest, Zhou Shuilian couldn't be idle.
Mu Shui went to chop some firewood again, looked at the sun, and the time was almost up, and when he came back, he took Mu Xiu and went to the office of the village party secretary together.
The village party secretary's office, said to be an office, is actually a relatively neat mud house in the village, with a large courtyard in front of it, where the village captain usually holds meetings, summons villagers to hold meetings, and broadcasts.
Chen Xiangyang spends most of his time here, and the villagers will come here to find him if they need to mediate any conflicts, and if the captains have anything.
"Mu Shui, you kid is still a little lucky, Lao Suntou's son came back this morning, I told him about you, he expressed sympathy, and immediately agreed, you wait here first, he went to visit relatives, and he will come over in a while." When Chen Xiangyang saw Mu Shui coming in, he told him the good news.
"It's great, thank you village party secretary." When Mu Shui heard the news, he was completely relieved.
Mu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she can solve the problem of eating and drinking, but the problem of living is really not easy to handle.
