Chapter 77: The Gap

Waiting for a bowl of hot and fragrant fish porridge in the morning, Ji Kuan and Chang Fengying took the cart to transport mountain salt. Ji Aizhen took Ji Beibei, Ji Zhanpeng and Cao Fengnian to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Then start boiling hot water in a large pot to prepare it for the pheasant to defeather......

Let's do it together.

Even if he still falls into his own world from time to time, Cao Fengnian, who shows an ignorant and stunned expression, is not able to be idle because of his young age, he will also be instructed to help do things.

At Cao Fengnian's age, what he can do as Ji Zhanpeng's little tail is actually really limited.

Generally speaking, what Ji Zhanpeng is doing, he will put something in his hand as well. For example, a few sticks of firewood, a basin, two dishes or something, tell him not to be empty-handed......

Strictly speaking, this is not so much that Cao Fengnian is helping to do things, but that the Ji family is consciously asking him to develop a kind of can't just watch others do it for granted. When you should take a hand, you can't just watch when you should be able to help, and it's still a good habit to help.

In the village, the children of the Ji family will indeed be happier than the children of other people's families, especially the two girls who not only can't go to the ground, but also take over the housework at a much older age than the girls of other people's families.

But that doesn't mean they don't work at home. In fact, they have also worked since they were children, not only their sisters, as the only boy in the family, Ji Zhanpeng did not have any preferential treatment at this point.

It's just that the difference between the children of the Ji family and the children of other families is that other people's families are only girls working. And the Ji family works regardless of boys and girls, but when they are still young, most of the time they are distressed and only do some small jobs that are not too tiring.

From an early age, they accepted the notion that they didn't take it for granted that they didn't work as a child.

They were all well told that the reason for the lack of work was that the parents and older siblings felt sorry for themselves, and that they could be happier than the other children and have more days to play. But once they are old, they still have to bear what they should bear.

It is also because of this that Ji Aizhen will be so willing when she takes over the housework in Chang Fengying's hands in the future, and she will not be resentful because of the sudden increase in things on herself.

On the contrary, she will take it for granted that she has already been much happier than other people's children. Now that I'm old, how can I continue to be the same as when I was a child, and still be so selfish and just care about my own crazy play?

I have grown up and have the ability to help my parents share the hardships; It can also allow the younger brothers and sisters to play for a few more years and enjoy the happy days of having fun for a few more years.

With such pride, Ji Aizhen will be more considerate of Chang Fengying's fatigue before when she is busier, more tired, and harder; The more reluctant his sister Ji Beibei is to take over the work in his hands too early.

This also caused the brothers and sisters of the Ji family to be different from other families, and there were not many brothers and sisters who could really twist into a rope. It can be said that most of the brothers and sisters in the village are far from having a good relationship with each other.

Many of other people's sisters and sisters are selfish, not all of them are jealous of their elder brother and younger brother, and they don't have to work at all; On the other hand, I will compete with my sister and sister who also need to work. Most of them hate that they can't do less and do light work. Dirty work can be done by other sisters and sisters......

In this way, there will inevitably be all kinds of competitions and fights between brothers and sisters, openly and secretly, and it is strange that the hearts can still be intimately leaning together after a long time?

......

The rest went well.

When Ji Kuan and Chang Fengying came back with mountain salt, the two took over the work of deflattering pheasants and skinning wild rabbits, and asked Ji Aizhen and Ji Beibei sisters to filter mountain salt.

There are many impurities in mountain salt, and it cannot be used directly without filtering gauze several times. On this trip up the mountain, Ji Kuan had long expected that the salt prepared at home would not be enough, so he reminded Chang Fengying to bring gauze early.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have gauze, as long as you replace it with clean cotton clothes or towels.

......

The family worked together, but the busy time was still longer than expected, and it was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that it was finally busy.

Seeing that there is still time, Ji Kuan thinks about staying in this cave for more than ten days, and it depends on the situation that he will not only come to this trip, but it is estimated that he will have to make one or two trips every year in the future.

So I decided to spend the rest of the afternoon looking for suitable dead branches and trees to book a simple dining table and a small bench. In this way, everyone can gather around a table when they eat in the future, just like at home, and it will be more lively and comfortable.

His proposal was very popular and was approved by a unanimous vote immediately. So the rest of the afternoon passed unconsciously.

In addition to the dining table and small benches, Ji Kuan also added a long table next to the makeshift stove for Ji Aizhen, so that she could put seasonings, chopsticks and cooked meals when cooking.

The next day, the anomaly of the critters at the waterhole continued.

Ji Kuan and Chang Fengying really couldn't help but be moved, and after collecting a pheasant in the trap and catching most of the fish in the basket, they stopped and rushed back.

When the two returned to the cave, they could already smell the smell of food. Breakfast is chicken porridge made with chicken broth that had been simmering in a pot the night before.

Seeing that it was almost time for everyone to return, the cooked chicken porridge was packed and placed on the long table by the stove to cool.

Along with them were a bowl of mixed wild vegetables and a bowl of boiled wild eggs, as well as a half plate of dough cakes that Ji Aizhen was still spreading - that was the dry food that everyone had to bring with them for lunch.

"It's so fragrant, it's so capable--"

Stepping into the cave, what Ji Kuan and Chang Fengying saw was the scene where everyone was busy, Ji Beibei and Ji Zhanpeng had already returned with a lot of firewood and were sorting it out; Ji Aizhen won't talk about it; Even Cao Fengnian was cautious, slowly pouring Ji Aizhen's cooked meals from the long table to the dining table one by one.

Chang Fengying praised Cao Fengnian, and after he put the bowl of chicken porridge in his hand that was eight points full and not so hot on the dining table, she rubbed his little bald head and praised Mimi with a smile: "I still look like our Fengnian is the most capable." ”

Being praised like this, Cao Fengnian's little face immediately turned red, and he looked up and smiled shyly at her.

Ji Zhanpeng, who was arranging the firewood, was a little red-eyed when he heard this, glanced at the past with a little envy, turned around and whispered to Ji Beibei: "This has a smaller one, I don't want to be praised like this in the future...... Now only the disliked portion remains. ”

"Poof--"

Ji Zhanpeng said sadly, but Ji Beibei couldn't hold back it, and almost didn't burst out laughing.
