When Ye Yu rowed back to Baoshan Island, it was not early, and it would be time to cook dinner later.

Xu didn't have much heart to work all afternoon, and kept waiting for news from his daughter. When I saw my daughter coming back alone, I was still disappointed that I had guessed it.

"Auntie, don't worry, Daddy and eldest brother are not children, since they have been rescued, they will definitely come back as soon as possible. It's just that they don't have a boat or money now, so of course it will be a little difficult to come back. I've only been looking for the silver I used to hire a boat for the second master of Nian for a few days, and there is still more than half a month, so maybe I will meet it one day. As long as Daddy and Big Brother are safe and sound, there will always be a time for our family to reunite, and you have to take care of your body first. ”

Xu understands the truth, and the loss is only for a while, and soon she cheers up again.

Now the husband and son are important, and the daughter is also important. Seeing that her daughter is about to turn fifteen, if the birthmark on her face is removed, it will definitely be much easier to talk about family affairs.

"Be good, take care of your body, and make good food at night."

The crabs that Er Ya brought back haven't been made yet.

"Auntie, look at this!"

Ye Yu took out the salted fish in the basket and shook it, and the special aroma made Xu's eyes light up.

"Salted fish!"

Salted fish is available in almost every household in the village, and this is the only meat that Xu can eat a few more pieces of meat when he was at home before.

Since being kicked out of the old house, the mother and daughter have never eaten salted fish, and now they are very hungry.

"Come to me, I'll do it, we have lard now to make it, it must be very fragrant."

Xu came to the spirit, carrying the salted fish to chop it into sections and then soak it in warm water. Salted fish, as the name suggests, is very salty, and you can't eat it if you don't soak it in water.

Ye Yu watched from the sidelines, and took the steps seriously in mind. In the past, as soon as she entered the stove room, she was burning the fire, and the stove was so high that she couldn't see how to stir-fry. And there are no good things to cook at home, so her cooking skills are only one porridge, cakes, and boiled seafood with water, which is really rare.

She didn't want A-Niang to suffer, so she wanted to learn more by herself. Er Ya came over at some point, curious to see what Xu made delicious.

Tonight, there were salted fish, crabs, and clams, so Xu grabbed the rice and boiled it until it was half-cooked, and then fished it out and drained it. She put the rice soup in a bowl, and it was a very good drink with a little sugar.

Half an hour later, the salted fish had changed the water three times, and then she said it was okay. Then he took out the baby lard jar and picked a large piece into the casserole painfully.

As soon as a large piece of milky white lard entered the pot, it quickly dissolved, and the thick aroma of lard wafted out of the pot, and the two little girls couldn't help but shrug their noses and suck it up.

"I smell the smell of the New Year."

Indeed, no one usually boils lard, and such a strong aroma of lard can only be smelled everywhere during the Chinese New Year.

Xu's hasn't made such a big dish for a long time, so he was a little cautious, and he didn't put much garlic, onion and ginger. After the aroma of the ingredients burst out of the pot, she poured in the sliced blue crab and stir-fried it before pouring the salted fish into it.

If you have salted fish, you don't need to add salt, just add some water and spread the drained half-cooked rice directly on top and cover it.

"Yu'er, look at the fire, don't be too big."

"Uh-huh!!"

Ye Yu and the greedy insects were all hooked out, staring at the fire with their eyes, and boiled for about a quarter of an hour, and the fire was smaller and boiled for another quarter of an hour. Finally, open the pot and turn it over gently, the oily blue crab and salted fish are mixed with rice, which is called a fragrant, and the pot is also on the side of the casserole, which is fragrant and crispy and delicious.

The family didn't wait for the clam soup to be ready, so they quickly ate the salted fish and crab pot rice with one bowl per person.

In the evening, when the family was studying, Xu was very energetic today, and he learned a few words. I recognize it, and it's ugly to write. This also reminded Ye Yu that it was time to buy pen and ink, otherwise he would always draw on the tablet, and he would still not be able to write well on paper in the future.

"It just so happens that I'm going to the county seat tomorrow, and when the time comes, I'll buy some pen and ink and come back, and we'll practice together. By the way, there are also enlightenment books on our side, and we have to buy a little bit as well. ”

Ye Yu has always wanted to learn the words on his own side, but without the master to lead him into the door, he can't even read the most basic books. But now that there is Erya, she said that she will memorize the three-character scripture, and when the time comes, she will buy it back and learn it a little bit.

This is also thanks to Erya's stepmother, who always asks Erya to go to the back mountain to chop wood and dig leafy vegetables. On the other side of the mountain lives an old boy in the village, and whenever he teaches his grandchildren to read, Er Ya can listen to it.

"Then remember not to buy too good paper, just buy the cheapest one."

"Cheap ......"

Ye Yu wanted to say that there was no cheap paper in the bookstore, but when the words came to his mouth, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, thinking of the price of Sister Sang's side. They all use paper in the thatched houses over there, and a dozen yuan can buy several rolls.

It's also paper, and I guess the paper for learning shouldn't be expensive, right?

She decided to ask Sister Sang about the price of paper and pencils before going to the county seat tomorrow, if it was cheap, then she wouldn't have to go to the county seat to buy it.

The next morning, the two little girls got up and started their work. One makes breakfast, and the other goes to clean the hut.

Erya has always felt that she is eating and living here for nothing, originally saying that everything in the thatched house will be handled by her, but Ye Yu did not agree.

She really regards Erya as a family, although she may not be as emotionally as good as her eldest brother, but her family is family, and she is not an outsider in her heart.

The two said that they would take turns to pour, and it happened to be Ye Yu today.

The place where the pit was dug was a bit far away, after all, it was too close to the heart. Ye Yu was also bold, and he didn't let Erya accompany him.

When she got to the place where the mark was made, she had just put the bucket down when she saw something flash not far away.

A very sudden little light, like a broken mirror.

Ye Yu couldn't hold back his curiosity and walked over.
