Blessed woman in the farm gate

Chapter 10 Fat Rabbit

The children of the peasant households also have to help the family when they reach the age. Except for a few families with good conditions, all the children in the village are hardworking.

When children go up the mountain to mow grass and collect firewood, adults often prepare dry food and let the children take them to the mountain.

Li Fuyue looked at the dry food that Mrs. Liu had prepared for them - a piece of steamed bun with a layer of coarse grains, and half a baked sweet potato.

From this dry ration, we can see Liu's contempt.

The Li family is considered to be a well-off family in the village, at least the food will not make the family hungry.

Even without counting Li Fuyue who suddenly followed, this dry food was far from enough to fill the stomachs of two children who had worked for half a day.

"Auntie must be resenting what happened last night! Sis, I'm the one who got you both." Li Miaoyue frowned tightly, feeling a little sad in her heart.

Li Yayue comforted her a few words, picked up the native egg: "We still have eggs!"

She seemed to be immune to Liu's behavior, and she didn't even have much anger.

Li Fuyue sighed inwardly.

The eldest sister is really kind to her, gentle and steady, sensible and capable.

but!

She seems to have no temper at all!
Without a temper, her shining points are more likely to be exploited and suppressed by others, gradually turning into a meekness without edges and corners. In this bad era, such a woman will definitely be honed to the point where there is no scum left.

Li Fuyue clenched her little fists, determined not only to improve the material level of the family, but more importantly, to make her elder sister more confident and strong.

Li Yayue glanced at her younger sister with some doubts.

Strange, why do you feel that the little girl has suddenly become energetic?
Li Yayue just thought it was her own illusion, she distributed the steamed buns and roasted sweet potatoes to Li Miaoyue and Li Fuyue, then scooped up water with a broken tile, and then blocked the edge of the tile with sticky mud.

Although the water in the tiles is drowsy and dusty, the white water eggs need to be shelled, so the cloudiness of the water is not a problem at all.

At this time, Li Fuyue went to pick up three stones of equal size, which she found when she was playing with stones under the shade of a tree, and she placed the two stones at a distance of two fists.

There was just enough space for tiles to be placed on the stone, and she placed another one at the side where the two stones were juxtaposed, so that when the fire was lit later, it could prevent the flames from wandering off.

Li Fuyue's little hands became dusty because she went to fetch the stones, so Li Miaoyue took her to wash them clean.

When she came back, Li Yayue had already started the fire and was adding firewood between the two stones.

The boiling water was bubbling enthusiastically, and the egg was swaying left and right in the half-height water, and Li Yayue fiddled with it from time to time.

The two sisters looked at this simple "stove" very excitedly, and Li Fuyue was affected by their emotions, and stared at the eggs intently.

An egg is really nothing after a thousand years of material life. You can add two eggs to any pancake you buy on the side of the road.

But in this ancient society where materials were scarce, it was a very precious existence.

It's just that the eggs are precious, but it is undeniable that the weight of one egg is too small, and it is impossible to fill the stomachs of three people. It can only be said to be a delicious taste.

It's just that they didn't expect to be able to eat enough, Li Yayue said: "We have done something wrong when we come out to open a small stove. If we still hide it from dad, it should be too bad. Let's take this egg for dad after we boil it." Go back and try it?"

Li Miaoyue and Li Fuyue naturally agreed, and Li Fuyue felt a little more sad in her heart.

How can we not make people feel sad and distressed when an egg is eaten separately?
It doesn't take much time to boil a small native egg, and the egg will be almost cooked soon. Li Yayue used a straight branch and folded it into a suitable length, which can be regarded as chopsticks.

Li Yayue took the boiled eggs out of the water and put them on the haystack that the three sisters had prepared long ago.

The earthen eggs covered with wet muddy water were still steaming, and they were so hot that no one dared to touch them for a while.

Li Fuyue sniffed and said with a smile: "Sister, I think this egg is delicious!"

"The shell hasn't been peeled off yet, so where can you smell it?" Li Yayue also smiled, and she raised her hand to scratch Li Fuyue's small nose, "Or is it because Fu Bao's nose is more sensitive?"

Li Fuyue didn't answer any more, she threw herself into Li Yayue's arms, and hugged Li Miaoyue's neck again, feeling that being a younger sister is sweet.

Li Yayue and Li Yayue only thought that she was hungry.The two split the eggs in half, saved one half for Dad to taste, and mixed the other half with roasted sweet potatoes and steamed buns for the three sisters to eat together.

Are you full?

In fact, I was not full.

But both Li Yayue and Li Miaoyue felt a different kind of satisfaction in their hearts, and it wasn't all the satisfaction of eating eggs.

This is actually the satisfaction of fighting against the overbearing aunts, but the two sisters don't quite understand it yet.

"The eggs are eaten, and the pigweed is almost cut. It's time for us to go back. This place is far from home, and we have to walk for a while."

Li Yayue stood up first, she lifted Li Miaoyue's pannier, and did not let go until she had stabilized herself.

At this time, both Li Yayue and Li Miaoyue were carrying baskets, and Li Yayue touched Li Fuyue's face with some distress: "Fu Bao, sisters can't carry you on the way back, if you get tired from walking, just go with sister Say, let's take a break."

On the way here, there was a steep and muddy road, and Li Yayue put Li Fuyue in a back basket to carry her back.

She was afraid that her sister would accidentally fall into the pit.

Li Fuyue knew what she was thinking, she nodded obediently: "Fubao will walk well."

Going down the mountain is much faster than going up the mountain, but because they are carrying pigweed on their backs, they are afraid that the pigweed will be accidentally knocked over, so they walk carefully when encountering steep roads.

Li Fuyue followed behind the two sisters, walking along the mountain wall.

She is small and exquisite, and her eyesight is lower. Li Yayue and Li Miaoyue focused on looking at the road, but Li Fuyue was the first to notice that a white ball fell from the mountain wall and rolled on the ground twice. No more moving.

It was a snow-white fat rabbit.

"Fubao, why don't you leave?" Seeing that Li Fuyue didn't follow, Li Yayue turned around and called.

Li Fuyue had already walked in front of the unlucky rabbit. This rabbit was fat and fat. It was unknown what happened to him before he fell down. He hit his head and died.

She struggled to catch the rabbit's long ears: "Eldest sister, second sister, here is a fat rabbit!"

The two sisters saw the rabbit at this time, and hurried over: "It's really rare, even if you squat on the mountain every day in this season, you can't find any living things that can only be eaten! Fubao, how did you see this rabbit?" ?”

Li Fuyue pointed to the steep slope above: "The rabbit fell from the sky!"

Where in the sky would a rabbit fall down for no reason?Li Yayue and Li Miaoyue knew that the rabbit probably fell down the steep slope accidentally.

But no matter where it comes from, if there are rabbits, there is meat to eat.

Intuit good luck today!
Li Miaoyue held Li Fuyue's chubby face in both hands, grinning from ear to ear: "Fubao! Let's eat rabbit meat tonight!"

Li Yayue took the rabbit from Li Fuyue, put it in the basket and covered it with pigweed.

Although her expression was not obvious, she was very happy in her heart: "Thanks to Fu Bao's good eyesight, otherwise we would have missed this fat rabbit!"
