The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 98

The news that He Youtian had been missing for more than ten days quickly spread throughout Rongshu Village, and everyone was wondering what happened to him?
But all of this has nothing to do with He Tao. There are two people missing in the family, and they are the two main laborers. Her affairs suddenly increased a lot. She used to only need to look after the children, but now she still needs to cook and do laundry. After being so busy, she felt in a hurry.

At this time, it is not like now that there are a variety of ready-made baby food supplements to choose from, and you have to do everything yourself.Rice must first be ground into powder, vegetables and fresh meat must be chopped into fine slag, and goat milk must be taken immediately. Preparing a meal for the twins is more tiring than preparing a meal for the three "adults".

He Tao was also worried about the children in the main room, and also had to look at the food on the stove, so the two were delayed, and the rice was overcooked twice for the three meals on the first day. Fortunately, there was no problem with the twins' food.

At dinner, He Tao, Nian Zu, and Nian Zong ate a few mouthfuls of battered rice and dishes that were either unbalanced or too bland or too salty, and then the three of them worked together to feed the twins—He Tao was in charge of Dongzhi , Nianzu was in charge of Dongye, and Nianzong kept praising "Dongzhi is awesome, Dongye is awesome"!
"Starting from tomorrow, Nianzu, until your uncle comes back, don't go out to herd cattle in the afternoon, but help me look at the winter branches and leaves. Then you will be responsible for washing the dishes after lunch and dinner, okay?"

"Okay!" Nianzu nodded straightforwardly.In fact, there is always enough fodder at home, so it’s okay not to herd cattle. For him, going out to herd cattle in the afternoon is just going out to play.

"Nian Zong, from today on, after you come back from school, you will visit your two younger sisters, your aunt will make dinner, and your elder brother will feed the animals in the backyard, okay?"

"Okay!" Nian Zong nodded and said, "I can teach them how to read."

"Nian Zong is so good!" He Tao breathed out, but luckily there were these two brothers to help.

The next day, the three of them started a new day according to the arrangement last night.

At the beginning of Chen Shi, He Tao got up, washed up briefly, and went to prepare breakfast.

He Tao went to the backyard first.

Nianzu was chopping pig grass, when he saw He Tao coming, he knew that she was here to milk the goats, so he hurried over to help.With his help, He Tao finally managed to squeeze a small pot of goat's milk even though he got a lot of trouble.

Carrying the pot back to the kitchen in the small courtyard, I grabbed a pinch of millet and two handfuls of rice and ground them into rice noodles with a small stone in the kitchen.

Another stove was set up to heat the goat milk, and the goat milk was boiled with an appropriate amount of jasmine tea. After boiling, the tea dregs were filtered out with a muslin cloth, and finally the goat milk was put into a bottle boiled with boiling water using a wine hanger. Heat dissipation.There are exactly four bottles, enough for the twins to drink for a morning.

At this time, the rice paste was almost cooked, so He Tao quickly chopped a small piece of lean meat and a few green vegetable leaves, chopped them and added them to the rice paste, cooked for half a stick of incense before turning off the heat, and finally added a A little bit of salt, after stirring well, put two bowls in a wooden bowl to dissipate heat, in this way, the twins' breakfast is ready!

Then began to prepare meals for the three "adults".After cooking a small pot of clear porridge, she went to the vegetable garden and picked a handful of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemums and two eggplants.Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum vegetables are washed, drained, oiled, salted and chili cold, the eggplant is cut into small cubes and mixed with minced meat and stir-fried. The last dish is the twins’ favorite dish now—steamed eggs, beaten five For the eggs, put the ingredients and water in, stir evenly, steam on high heat, add two drops of sesame oil when it comes out of the pan, and the breakfast for the adults is considered complete.

When Nianzu finished feeding the animals and went back to help in the kitchen, He Tao was cooking sour plum soup.

She put dried ebony plums, dried hawthorn, licorice slices, dried osmanthus, etc. into a large pot filled with water.During the hot summer, sweet and sour plum soup is the most suitable drink, especially with ice cubes, He Tao can drink a whole pot of plum soup in a day by himself.After putting away the ingredients, she turned her head and said to Nianzu: "You came just in time, you help me watch the fire, after it boils, change it to a small fire, the sisters are probably going to wake up soon, I have to go and watch them... "

"Well, I see, Auntie, you can go now..." Nianzu nodded and began to clean up the chopping board that He Tao didn't have time to clean up.

After He Tao walked out of the kitchen, she wiped her sweat with her hands, and then shook her hands, throwing out a string of beads of sweat. Her body also smelled of oily smoke mixed with sweat, making her frown.She sighed and went to the well to wash it. Just when she squatted down and was about to pour water to wash her face, she heard the cries of the twins, one after the other.She couldn't care less about being clean, so she quickly got up and ran back to Westinghouse to watch the children.

She has only one person now, and if she can take care of this, she can only leave the other one crying with grievances, so when changing the baby's diaper, she consciously takes turns, changing Dongzhi first today and Dongye tomorrow. For fear that one will leave a shadow, thinking that she is partial to the other.

Today it was Dongye's turn to come first. After she changed her diaper, she put her back in the crib and stuffed her with a feeding bottle, and let her hold her to drink a few sips of water before turning back to take care of Dongzhi.After changing into dry diapers and having food in their mouths, the twins stopped crying, kicking their legs with the bottle in their arms and gulping milk, their black eyeballs rolling around.

He Tao also took the opportunity to change his clothes, and then carried Dongzhi and Dongye to the baby chair next to the dining table under the eaves to finish. Nianzong had already gotten up, and followed Nianzu to serve the food on the table, running around .

As soon as He Tao saw him, he remembered that Nianzong's lunch hadn't arrived yet.

Last night's meal was burnt, and the dishes weren't ready, she threw it all away, and what I made in the morning is probably only enough for a while, what will Nianzong bring to the school for lunch today? !
She put her forehead on her forehead and sighed "Ouch" - she thought she had done a perfect job this morning!

However, fortunately, there are many snacks at home!Just bring a bottle of milk and a box of pastries to Nian Zong, and you can get by.

When the meal was on the table, Nianzu sat down beside Dongye consciously, picked up a wooden spoon and fed her a meal, a mouthful of rice paste, a mouthful of egg custard, and occasionally a spoonful of goat's milk - He Tao and Fu Shi have always been like this Hello.

In addition to throwing things, the twins also like to grab things, especially spoons.Even though He Tao had already given each of them a spoon, when they saw the spoon stretched out by their mother or elder brother, they still stretched out their meaty claws to grab it.He Tao and Nianzu had to "fight wits and courage" with them while feeding them, and finally fed the two little ancestors enough, and then began to eat by themselves.

After the meal, Nianzu took the initiative to do the work of washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, while Nianzong took what He Tao handed over with a bit of gloom—a feeding bottle, and he pouted and said, "Auntie, this is for the younger sisters to eat." Yes, I don't want it!"

If people find out that he is still drinking milk, he will be laughed to death!

"Don't want this, what are you drinking? If you just eat snacks, you will choke!" He Tao insisted that he take it.Eating snacks is not nutritious!It's the time to grow tall and brainy, so you can't delay a meal.

Nian Zong insisted not to, tilting his head and said: "It's okay, I can exchange dim sum with other people for meals, they like to eat dim sum!"

In the village, it is estimated that only people in their family don’t care about dim sum. Other children may only have it during the Spring Festival a year, and they can get anything with dim sum!

"..." Well, this kid is pretty smart!He Tao had no choice but to give up the plan to forcibly block.

Nian Zong went to school with his snacks in his schoolbag, and Nian Zu also went out to hunt pigweed with a basket on his back.The twins were having a great time in the main room, harassing the big dog sitting at the door with their meaty paws - Hanamaki and Mantou. After they whimpered, the two little guys crawled away again. , and then giggled and laughed.

After a busy morning, He Tao had time to sit down, drink some water and catch his breath.She took a bamboo chair and sat under the eaves of the entrance of the main room. She leaned her head on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh of relief. Landlord wife is good, clothes come to stretch out hands, rice comes to open mouth, when Fu Shi comes back, I have to discuss with him, and I will also buy two servants..."

After resting for a while, she brought out the needlework and watched the twins do needlework.Now she is the only one in the family who can make clothes. The twins consume the most clothes, not to mention changing several sets a day, and they look the same every day.

Soon the sun was in the sky, and Nianzu returned.After putting down the pigweed, he went back to the courtyard and asked He Tao, "What does Auntie do at noon? I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables..."

He can't cook, but other things can still help.

"Look at the picking, I'll cook whatever I pick!" What to eat is not a problem at all, there are not many choices anyway, there are only a few dishes this month.He Tao thought for a while and said, "Kill a duck. I'll stew it later. Let's have sour radish and duck soup tonight!"

He Tao felt that everyone worked so hard, it was necessary to eat something good!Anyway, there are a lot of chickens and ducks in the big backyard, so it is no problem to eat them every day.

"understood!"

Nianzu got the order and went to prepare the ingredients. After about half an hour, Nianzu came out wiping his sweat and said that everything was ready.He Tao then went to the kitchen and asked Nianzu to take care of the twins.

Nianzu was very thoughtful, picked a large handful of thick-skinned vegetables, not only washed them quickly, but also cut them up, which saved He Tao a lot of trouble.She only needs to put the vegetables in the pan and stir-fry, plus there is the leftover porridge from the morning, and the twins' rice paste is also ready-made, and a lunch is ready in no time.

After lunch, Nianzu cleaned up the kitchen quickly, while He Tao took the twins to take a nap.

After the afternoon nap, He Tao washed the clothes, and Nianzu took care of the children.After Nian Zong came home from school, He Tao went to prepare dinner, Nian Zu fed the animals, and Nian Zong took over Nian Zu's work, sitting on the ground and reciting the "Three Character Classic" to the twins...

The following days, like today, continued in an orderly manner.
