four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 8 Hurry up and call brother, brother left you egg drop soup
Bao Juhua put the food on the table, and at the same time Yu and Zheng took all the large and small bowls and chopsticks for the whole family.

This year's grain harvest is not good across the country, and it's even worse in Lizi Village, which is a hundred miles away.

We suffered from waterlogging in the summer, and finally survived until autumn, when we were hit by locust plagues again.
Nine out of ten crops in the fields were destroyed, and every household was living in dire straits.

The meals of the Jin family are similar to those of other households in the village. They are all steamed buns made with multigrain noodles.
One for each person, paired with last year's pickled sauerkraut and a bowl of "gruel" with only a few dozen grains of rice for breakfast.

After breakfast, Yu and Bao Juhua cleared away the dishes.

Ms. Zou took the meal she had prepared in advance and hurried out with Ms. Zheng who had returned to her parents' home for help.

However, Yuanbao still tried to win over his grandma and wanted to go up the mountain with his mother and take her to dig vegetables.

Miao refused to let Yuan Bao go up the mountain, and Xu Liudi was even more unwilling.

It's such a cold day that everything is covered with snow. It's one thing to not be able to dig out wild vegetables.

If the cold wind blows in Yuanbao on the mountain and catches the cold, it will be like adding frost to the snow.

So Xu Liudi and Miao had the same idea.

"Yuanbao will stay at home and play with his brothers. Mom will go to the mountain to gather some firewood and dig wild vegetables and then come back. Okay?"

Xu Liudi looked at her daughter's cute little red face, couldn't help but touch it, and said, "Grandpa, grandma, father and mother all like Yuanbao, and my brothers also like it, so Yuanbao can stay at home and play with my brothers, okay?"

When Yuanbao heard Xu Liudi comforting him like this, he slowly and tentatively let go of Xu Liudi's leg.

She wanted to cry a little bit, but she still held it back and asked Xu Liudi to squat down.

"Mom, Yuanbao, can you please tell me where to find Caicai?"

"Okay!"

Xu Liudi didn't actually take it seriously. It was a snowy day and there were very few wild vegetables on the mountain. How could Yuan Bao know where it was?

But in order to coax her daughter to stay at home and not go up the mountain, Xu Liudi still squatted in front of Yuan Bao and straightened her collar to prevent the cold wind from getting in.

Yuan Bao came close to Xu Liudi's ear and said in a very low voice: "Mom, follow the three forked road up the mountain, and you can see a big fallen tree, Grandpa, and then you can see a lot of vegetables."

No one has been there. There are many things there. It is a secret base for her and the cats.

After hearing this, Xu Liudi touched Yuanbao's little face and said, "Mom, I know. I will go and take a look after collecting firewood. Yuanbao needs to be good at home and not run around, do you understand?"

"Yeah, mother, come back soon." Yuan Bao stood on tiptoe and gave Xu Liudi a mouthful, his eyes curled up like crescent moons.

The adults have their own things to be busy with, and there are many things for the children in the village to do. Snowball fights are the most essential activity of the year.

But at this moment, the "treasures" of the Jin family were not in the mood to play with their friends in the village.

Hey, is a snowball fight as fun as my sister?What a bunch of childish little brats!
Six-year-old Jin Laibao shook a slug, ran back to the room, and took out a bowl from under the bed.He poked his head around mischievously, but there was no adult in the yard.

Jin Laibao finally shouted confidently and boldly, "Yuanbao! Yuanbao!! Call me brother quickly, brother has left egg drop soup for you."

His sister was so cute, and a bowl of egg drop soup would definitely not be enough for her, so he left his portion for her to drink.

Yuanbao heard the sound, stuck out his butt, tested the distance on the ground with his short legs, and jumped out of bed.

Then he opened the door, looked out with his round head with two towering pigtails, and said crisply: "Hello, big brother."

"Hello sister, come and drink the egg drop soup!" Jin Laibao ran over holding the bowl steadily and put the rim of the bowl to Yuanbao's mouth.

He gave her a swig so hard that the unprepared Yuan Bao almost choked.

The egg drop soup is cold. After it is cold, it has a strong eggy smell. Yuanbao doesn't like this smell.

But Jin Laibao is a big stupid guy, grinning awkwardly with missing front teeth.

"Hey, Yuanbao, isn't the egg drop soup my brother left for you delicious?" Jin Laibao said with starry eyes.

Yuanbao babbled, and for the first time he learned not to mean what he said: "Big brother's egg drop soup is the best. Yuanbao drank it, and it's time for big brother to drink it. You have to drink it all in one go."

"Okay!" When Jin Laibao heard Yuan Bao calling him brother, he was so happy that he wanted to blow a flying monkey on his butt, and he screamed to the sky.

Jin Laibao drank the oily egg soup with a slurp, poured cold water over the bowl, and then reported to Miao.

"I took Yuanbao out to play!"

After saying that, he took Yuan Bao and ran away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, Miao grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken.

"Why are you running in such a hurry! How can you act like a brother in such a hurry? If you continue to be so anxious, grandma won't let Yuan Bao call you brother!"

Miao threatened.

Jin Laibao was anxious, "Nai, you can't be like this, I am Yuanbao's brother, you can't stop Yuanbao from calling me brother!"

"No matter how much I love you, your parents don't care!"

Mrs. Miao nodded her eldest grandson's forehead, and then said: "You can take your sister out to play, but you are not allowed to go to the ice or go up the mountain. Just play in the village, you know! If you let me know that you took your sister to play in a dangerous place, Son, let’s see if my butt blossoms when I get back.”

"I know!" Jin Laibao shouted, and when Miao let go, he immediately took Yuan Bao's hand and ran out.
