Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"I can't help it. I've really been kidnapped and put on a pirate ship. I give in to her!"

Having said that, the pride and pride in Yang Ruoqing's tone was still difficult to conceal.

Because her daughter, Luo Baobao, is not the kind of delicate and pretty lady who only knows how to eat, drink, play, or dress up.

She is not the kind of naive love-brained person.

She has her own ideas, correct values, the ability to take action, and the ability to endure hardships.

It is really remarkable that a child who grew up in a honey pot can grow up to be like this!

As parents, we love our children and plan for them in the long run. Wouldn't it be gratifying and joyful to see your children growing up so well and being able to stand on their own?

Pasture.

The grassland covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, covering all the grassland and woodland at the foot of the mountain.

In the spring and summer every year, the grassland is full of lush green, and it seems as if there is no end in sight.

If you come to the grassland in midsummer, the wind blows the grass waves, cows of different fur colors are eating grass from far and near, and occasionally a dog jumps around in the grass, it gives you a feeling of nomadic people outside the Great Wall.

It is now the first month of the lunar year, and the grass has just begun to sprout from the frozen soil, so the grassland does not appear as magnificent and boundless as in spring and summer.

But even so, on this frozen land, the grassland can still accommodate several nearby villages of varying sizes, hundreds of households, and a temporary settlement of one or two thousand people.

How to settle down specifically?

Of course, they would not live in the adobe houses of Xiaoduo's Xiang family, nor would they live in that row of cow sheds.

The cowshed has to accommodate dozens of cows in the pasture. At this time, the cows can't go to the pasture to play and can only stay in the cowshed obediently.

In addition to feeding the cows as usual, Shengnan's father sat at the door of the cowshed all day long with a stool and a cane in his hand that could be used as a self-defense weapon. He looked at the makeshift tents made of felt, thatch and wooden boards in the distance of the pasture, and the old man never stopped mumbling.

"You are looking for trouble. Why should we care about the flood? You have to lead people here. You have nothing better to do than to eat. You are stupid..."

Lingling brought Jiaojiao, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Fuwa, Xiaoshunzi, Xiaosanzi, and a group of other children over. The children had sharp ears, especially Jiaojiao who was running in the front. She jumped over and heard Shengnan's father's chatter. The little girl swung her pigtails and lay on Shengnan's father's lap. She looked up and asked curiously, "Grandpa, who did you just say was stupid?"

"Your father, your mother, and your great grandfather are all fools!"

"My mother is not stupid!"

"Is your mother stupid? She is boiling pots of hot water to send your father and your great grandfather to deliver to the disaster victims? How much firewood does that require?"

Shengnan's father glanced at the group of tall and short children held by Lingling's hands. Among these children were not only children from the Yang family, but also from the Luo family.

What Shengnan's father wanted to say was that throughout the whole day, just cooking for these relatives and children, how much rice, flour, fish and meat were used...

However, when the words came to his lips, Shengnan's father choked.

Why?

Because the Luo family and the old Yang family have several children who are very smart and clever. If they go to the adults at home to learn to speak, it will be bad...

"Go, go, go, don't stay here with me, I want to see the cows!"

Shengnan's father shook his hands in annoyance and pushed his granddaughter Jiaojiao away from his legs.

"Watching the cows?" Jiaojiao glanced at the cowshed behind Yan Shengnan's father. "The cows are so well behaved. They didn't run out to play. Grandpa, do you still want to watch them?"

"If I don't keep an eye on it, there are too many people on this ranch. What if someone comes and steals our cows? Who will you find?" Jiaojiao tilted her head. The CPU in her little head was obviously having a hard time processing what Shengnan's father said.

Lingling came forward and held Jiaojiao's hand: "Come on, let's go play over there and stop pestering grandpa."

Lingling walked away with a group of children, and Shengnan's father could finally say what had been stuck in his tongue.

In the kitchen, there was smoke and fire. Xiaoduo was frying pork ribs in a big pot. The ribs were not from the Xiang family. They were New Year's goods that Yang Huazhong's family brought over when they came out to avoid the flood.

Yang Huazhong's family had a lot of New Year's goods, including rice, flour, oil, salt, and everything else. These were originally purchased by Xiaohua and Da'an who went to the town several times in the twelfth month. In addition, there were also purchases by Yang Huazhong and Sun.

These things were originally reserved for entertaining relatives and friends during the New Year's Day. Now that people have fled to the grassland due to the flood, they have brought all the things with them.

So much so that this morning, everyone discussed that making porridge was not practical as they had to cook in the morning, so it would be better to simplify it and have only two meals a day. The morning meal should be a solid one to stave off hunger, and the night meal should be served an hour earlier than usual and everyone could go to bed after eating.

So we had braised noodles with cured pork ribs, stir-fried cabbage, and sweet lard egg drop tea brewed separately for the children this morning.

Speaking of this sweet egg tea, it is not only the children's favorite, but also a memory of Yang Ruoqing's growth after she traveled through time.

After traveling through time, she was very weak for a while. At that time, the old Yang family had not yet split up, and she was a crazy and stupid girl abandoned by the Tan family, so she could not eat anything nutritious.

Sun secretly borrowed a few eggs from Guihua and Dayun, and secretly made a bowl of sweet egg tea for Yang Ruoqing every day.

During the time when Yang Ruoqing was at her weakest, egg tea was the best food to accompany her.

Later, when the family conditions improved, she would make egg tea for the children every now and then. Over time, the children all came to like the taste, and it became a delicacy in their childhood memories.

So at this moment, the children rushed into the kitchen. What attracted them was not the sizzling pork ribs stewed with noodles in the big pot, but the egg tea that Xiaohua was making.

"It smells so good, I want to drink it."

"I want to drink too."

A group of children surrounded Xiaohua and Xiaoduo, who were cooking noodles. Sun was putting out the fire at the stove. Seeing the children like this, everyone smiled with relief.

Xiaohua quickly distributed the prepared egg tea to the children and brought it to the small table nearby. She then asked Feng'er, Dashunzi, and Lingling, the three older children, to watch over it and said, "Blow it before drinking it. Don't burn yourself."

As for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, there was no need to panic. The two young masters came along to escape because they wanted to experience the novelty of it. The Luo family also sent a servant and a maid to follow them.

Xiaohua brought another bowl to Sun, "Mom, you drink one too."

Sun shook her head: "I'm an adult, why should I drink that stuff? Give it to the children."

Xiaohua said, "All the children have it. This is yours."

"I don't want to drink. You and Duo'er can share it!"

Xiao Duo suddenly laughed: "Mom, even though we are fleeing, we refugees don't lack food and drink. Here are two baskets of eggs. Come and drink them!"

Suddenly, Jiaojiao turned her head and said, "Mom, does drinking egg tea make people smarter?"

"Yes!"

"Then drink more, mother."

"Why? Am I stupid, your mother?"

“Yeah!” Jiaojiao nodded vigorously, her childish voice was very clear: “Grandpa said that mom was stupid, dad was stupid, and great grandfather was stupid too. Grandpa also said that mom was looking for trouble. Mom drank egg tea, and she was no longer stupid after drinking it!” (End of this chapter)
