039 Rub a meal

Liu Qiucui didn't expect him to come into the kitchen, and he was scolding happily, but he was taken aback by surprise, and almost threw the handful of rice in his hand on the ground.

"You're going to die!" Liu Qiucui reacted and was even more angry, "That's all there is to rice, if you sprinkle it, look at what you eat!" ”

Sheng Qingqing left a little rice and vegetables yesterday.

After eating a meal last night, there was only such a small ball of rice left in this rice bag.

But there was no way, they didn't even have such a small ball of rice on them. Liu Qiucui scolded and poured all the rice in the bag into the pot. I couldn't help but hold the biggest malicious thought in my heart, this bit of rice is the last food, and when it's finished, see how those little rabbit cubs should live.

The fist-sized rice was quickly integrated into the cauldron, and then boiled with water, and soon turned into a large pot of porridge.

It's a little thicker than last night's, but it's also extremely limited.

However, just when Liu Qiucui thought that the three children would not be able to bear it, she saw that they drank the porridge water in the bowl more calmly than the other. It was Sheng Zhizhi, who showed a look of grievance yesterday, and today he looks like he is used to it.

Sheng Qingqing put down the dishes and chopsticks with a faint expression, and didn't say anything to Liu Qiucui, and took her two younger siblings to the backyard. As for the shock in Liu Qiucui's heart?

'Huh. Sheng Qingqing sneered in her heart. When she got up early in the morning, she had already found food from the space and made breakfast for a pair of younger siblings.

"Wait!" Liu Qiucui screamed anxiously.

Sheng Qingqing was holding a child in one hand, and when she heard this, the three of them looked back at her in unison, each more expressionless than the other.

"What's the matter with Auntie?"

Liu Qiucui was speechless, I can't just ask you if you hide the grain.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Qiucui forced a smile and said: "That's the case, there is no food at home, and my aunt wants to ask what we eat at noon?" ”

"What to eat?" Sheng Qingqing's face showed a little doubt at the right time, and then he said, "If you don't have anything to eat, then you can only be hungry." ”

"Hungry?" Liu Qiucui exclaimed.

At this time, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming both looked at her suspiciously, and said in unison: "We were all like this before. ”

"My family is poor, and we don't have any income, so some of them eat, and we can only go hungry if we don't have to eat." Sheng Qingqing explained very "kindly".

Hungry? How can this be. A few children eat a small amount of food, and it may not be a problem to be hungry for one or two meals, but two adults, especially a strong man like Kong Gaoming, will have heartburn if they don't eat a meal, how can they be hungry together!

Liu Qiucui's face turned green suddenly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you go to the town a few days ago and buy a lot of things?!" ”

Sheng Qingqing didn't have any waves in her heart.

She'd guessed it would get out. Although most of Shengjia Village is kind, there are many people with mixed eyes, and there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, so it is inevitable that there will be one or two broken beaks. It may not be who spread the news, but now Niu Yu must know about it, and Liu Qiucui, a foreigner, is likely to have learned the news from the Li family.

"Auntie, you misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?"

Sheng Qingqing nodded seriously and said, "Those are the things bought by the Niu family next door, but their family has always kept a low profile, so they used the excuse that we bought them." The small bag of rice we ate yesterday and today was a thank you gift from them. ”

Liu Qiucui didn't believe in this explanation, but Sheng Qingqing's serious appearance didn't look like a lie at all.

"If it's okay, I'll go play with Zhizhi and Siming."

Liu Qiucui: "......" was half angry, but there was no way to refute it.

Sheng Qingqing didn't care whether she was angry or not, and went to the backyard with her younger siblings.

This backyard is an open space, when Sheng's father was still there, some plants were planted here, but most of them were small plants such as shallots and garlic sprouts, because there were no good means to take care of them for so many years, they were almost dead, only a few shallots were still growing strongly, shrinking in the slight cold wind.

Looking at these shallots, Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but feel pity. I just feel that this shallot is the same as the three children of the Sheng family, although it is weak, it has been supported strongly for so many years.

"Siming and Zhizhi go and bring the alfalfa grass from the house."

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming did not doubt him, and ran to the house together.

Taking advantage of this, Sheng Qingqing saw that there was no one else around, so he carefully took a small jar of spring water from the space. She specially used the Sheng family's utensils to hold this spring. I was worried that when Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming came out, they saw a ball of water floating in the air without any support.

Sheng Qingqing scooped a little spring water from the jar and carefully clicked on a few shallots.

Almost visible to the naked eye, a few shallots with some wilted heads and brains quickly became energetic, and I don't know if it was an illusion or a real thing, it seemed that the little body was a little greener.

Such a change made Sheng Qingqing feel pleasantly surprised. The spring water in this space is also effective for plants.

After a while, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming returned. Sheng Zhizhi was carrying a basket on his back, and Sheng Siming was holding a small shovel in his hand.

Looking at the little shovel, Sheng Qingqing was very pleased.

Although Sheng Siming is the youngest, he is always the most thoughtful.

"Siming did a good job."

Sheng Siming smiled shyly.

Sheng Zhizhi pouted, "Sister, didn't I do well?" How can you only praise Siming! ”

"You're doing well, too."

In desperation, Sheng Qingqing could only "get wet with rain and dew".

Farming is a simple task, but it's actually very complicated on the inside. The rich experience of an old farmer cannot be learned just by watching. Therefore, although the three Sheng Qingqing sisters and brothers have all seen how the people in the village farm, it is their turn, looking at a large piece of land, they can only look at it blankly.

"Sister, what are we going to do first?" Sheng Zhizhi looked at it with a blank eye.

She is very naughty, whether it is picking peaches on the tree or fishing in the river, she is familiar with it. But in this case, I really don't have any experience.

Sheng Siming was also at a loss, although he was smart, he had not been exposed to this knowledge. The farmers in the village do not teach the children to farm.

Sheng Qingqing scratched her head and decided to be a dead horse doctor. She definitely doesn't know how to plant rice and other farm work, but she still has some experience just raising small plants such as onions, ginger and garlic.

Although this experience was gained on the balcony of the home.

In modern times, Sheng Qingqing lived in an apartment with a very large balcony. Others may like to grow some flowers and plants, but as a chef, her favorite thing is to grow some green onions, ginger and garlic. It's practical and hassle-free.

But how should the grass be planted? And most of these alfalfa grasses only have roots left, is it the same method as planting ginger?

Sheng Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but still said: "This alfalfa grass is very easy to feed, let's dig a pit with a shovel first, then bury these roots in it, and finally pour water on it." ”

The spring water in the space is so magical, even if this planting method is not quite right, but after pouring the spring water, it should be able to grow a little bit.

The three siblings hurriedly began to dig the pit.

There was only a small shovel, so Sheng Qingqing dug the pit by himself, and then asked Sheng Siming to bury the roots of the alfalfa grass in it. Sheng Zhizhi is informal, and he doesn't care whether his hands will be dirty or not, after the alfalfa grass is buried in the pit, he directly picks up the soil with his hands and covers it into the pit.

Seeing that she was having a good time, Sheng Qingqing had to remind, "Zhizhi, don't push too hard, she will crush the roots to death." ”

Sheng Zhizhi was somewhat restrained.

The cooperation of three people is very efficient. In just half an hour, all the alfalfa grass brought down from the mountain was planted, and each pit was poured with spring water, and the work was completed.

The first time they farmed by themselves, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming were very excited.

"Sister, when will this grass grow?"

Sheng Qingqing washed their hands with the remaining spring water, thought for a while, and said, "Probably next year, when spring begins." ”

Alfalfa grass generally grows once every two months, and from today, it will be exactly two months by spring.

When Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming heard that it would take two months to see the fruits of their labor, they were a little depressed. They are eager to see the roots of this grass sprout and grow tomorrow after they are planted.

"Okay, isn't it just two months?" Sheng Qingqing patted their little heads amusedly, and changed the topic: "You might as well think about what to eat at noon?" ”

Now there is no food at home, and in front of Liu Qiucui, since they have already said that they will be hungry, they must not have lunch in a bright light. And Sheng Qingqing can't make her two younger siblings really hungry, so the best way is to choose to eat some simple food, the kind that can be eaten quickly and leave few traces.

But Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming's two children have not eaten much food, and since they were born, the most they have drunk may be white porridge.

So they thought about it for a long time, but they still didn't think about what to eat at noon.

"Let's not go to Second Uncle Niu's house." Sheng Zhizhi's face was full of confusion, and finally made this proposal.

Sheng Qingqing was feeding rabbits with rootless alfalfa grass when she heard this.

I have to say it's a good proposition. If you go to Uncle Niu's house for dinner, even Liu Qiucui has nothing to say. And the two of them should be embarrassed to come over to eat together.

Sheng Siming was a little more worried, "Will Second Uncle Niu think we are annoying?" ”

"No, it won't." Sheng Qingqing touched his little head, "It's a big deal, when we go, my sister will give Uncle Niu a little food!" ”

Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming looked dazed, and they didn't know what the "food fee" was.

Stay until noon......

"Second aunt, our family has nothing to eat again, can I come to your house for lunch?" Sheng Qingqing's face showed a little embarrassment.

Aunt Niu was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask, "You bought so much food before and ate it so quickly?" ”
