Chapter 19 Thanks

Xiao Lan has not forgotten the look of reluctance and resentment in their family's eyes. If each family saves five kilograms of food, it can last for three days!

If it were the end of the world, Xiao Lan would have destroyed them long ago.

In this world, Xiao Lan wants to start over, and her nature is not to kill.

She also wanted to give them a chance to change their ways. After all, there is only one life, and there should be no people like her who have traveled to this world.

She wanted to change this small courtyard as soon as possible, but the sun was almost setting and Xiao Lan was still pulling weeds.

The courtyard is actually a piece of land at the foot of the mountain. Except for the area where Zaizai used to grow vegetables, the rest of the area is covered with a lot of grass.

The autumn grass has withered and turned yellow. She plans to pull out all the grass and put them together, cover them with boards, and use them to make fires in winter.

The pheasant's wings were cut off by her and now it can't fly. Xiao Lan had made a circle with thorns and put the pheasant and the little rabbit inside, but he was afraid of accidentally injuring the cubs.

Now Xiao Lan plans to clear an open space first, then go to the forest to cut down trees and make some cages.

In this way, small rabbits and pheasants can be raised without harming their own babies.

The clearing was cleared into a square area. She turned around and saw Zaizai with his back to her, sticking out his little buttocks and feeding the little rabbit through the thorns with the grass she had pulled out. He muttered a few words from time to time.

"Xiaobai, be good, eat more grass and grow more meat. When you are full, I will play hide and seek with you."

"Little one, you are lazy again and haven't eaten grass, otherwise you will be hungry in a while."

The voice was milky, and these days Xiao Lan was always hearing words like Zaizai's.

After his mother got well, Zaizai became very dependent on her.

Except when his mother was working, he would be sensible and chat with the little rabbit temporarily, waiting for Xiao Lan to finish his work, and then he would chatter non-stop with the little tail who followed behind her.

Xiao Lan enjoys the dependence and trust in her cub and is not impatient at all.

After several days of nursing, the scars on Zaizai's neck have almost disappeared.

Xiao Lan spends most of her time playing with him, playing hide-and-seek with him, catching little rabbits, telling him stories, and cultivating a relationship with Zai Zai.

With his mother always by his side, Zaizai no longer worries that his mother will leave him from time to time.

The smile on Zaizai's face never broke.

Xiao Lan wiped the dirt on her face and hands with a towel and prepared to start cooking.

She took out the rice and washed it in a wooden basin with water from the stream.

Set up the iron pot, fill it with water, pour the washed rice into the water, close the lid, and add a handful of firewood.

Next to the stove, she stacked the firewood crosswise and built a shelf with a few trees. This time she planned to make barbecue.

There are a lot of wild boar and roe deer meat in the space. The time they are placed in the space will not change, and the pork and roe deer meat will not change, and they will still be fresh.

After eating the wild boar for a few days, less than a tenth of it was consumed. This wild boar has been dominating the mountains and forests. The meat it eats is oily and smooth, and the meat is delicious. It weighs about two hundred kilograms.

Xiao Lan took out a dagger and sharpened several strong branches.

Cut the fat and lean part of wild boar and roe deer into a large piece of pork belly, then cut it into pieces about the size of an egg, thread them on a branch, and put them on the rack to bake.

Meat with a little fat becomes sizzling when grilled, and the aroma spreads far and wide.

But at this hour, most people in the village would not come to the foot of the mountain.

Seeing his mother's strange way of cooking, Xiao Yu ran over, leaned close to her mother, and kept staring.

When Xiao Lan was ready, sprinkled with cumin powder, salt, and grilled the meat, the couple left the house and walked to Sister-in-law Li's house.

Recently, Sister-in-law Li came over every day to see Yu'er's injuries. After seeing that the marks on Yu'er's neck had faded, Sister-in-law Li had not been here since yesterday.

Xiao Lan took Zai Zai to Sister-in-law Li's house and saw Sister-in-law Li folding washed and dried clothes.

Sister-in-law Li watched her mother-in-law enter her house, and then greeted them warmly.

Xiao Lan said, "Sister-in-law Li, Dalin will be back soon. You can take Dalin and Erni to my house for barbecue."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she said, "This is impossible. How much meat will Dalin and Erni have to eat? It's better not to go."

"You managed to get some meat together. It's still early in the future. You can eat it until the New Year. You eat meat every day and always share it with us. It won't be eaten in a few days. It's easy in winter."

There is a famine, and besides, Yu'er needs to make up for it."

"Don't worry. I've got enough meat for today. Yu'er will let you go first. When Dalin comes back, you can go there together. I'm still roasting meat on the fire. I have to go back and watch it first."

"Come here early, otherwise the meat will be dry and unpalatable."

Xiao Lan said a word and hurriedly turned around and left. When she first came here, the flames were not very strong. Now the flames should be burning up. She had to go back and turn over some more.

In other words, the two families were close to each other. If they were far away, the meat would be roasted to ashes by the time we got to Sister-in-law Li's house.

When Xiao Lan returned home, the flames had just reached the bottom of the meat, making it slightly oily, but not burnt.

Xiao Lan grasped the timing just right and turned the meat over one by one.

Xiao Lan put the meat and grilled the other side with the flame.

Sister-in-law Li asked Erni, who was learning to be a female celebrity, to wait for his brother at home and go to Xiao Lan's house together when Dalin came back.

Then she took Yu'er out of the house and came to Xiao Lan's house.

Xiao Lan is stirring the rice soup. The rice soup is thick and mushy, and the rice grains are plump, which is very satisfying.

At this time, Sister-in-law Li brought Zaizai into the house. Seeing Sister-in-law Li coming over so quickly, Xiao Lan raised her head and smiled knowingly.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the door, she saw so many pieces of meat roasting on the flames, and she could smell the aroma even before she entered the door.

The meat is large and oily, and the roasted oil drips onto the flames, making bursts of sizzling sounds, all stimulating people's senses.

"You're still smiling, and you're not afraid that people outside will smell the fragrance and steal your wild boar and roe deer meat!"

Sister-in-law Li is a bit upright and cute. She believes that as long as it is good for Xiao Lan and her mother, she will do it with her mouth.

Xiao Lan turned over the barbecue and said, "Sister-in-law Li, I have never thanked you properly. During the time when I was unconscious, thank you for taking care of Yu'er, otherwise how could I have such a good son?"

"What's there to thank you for? I don't have any good food. I give Yu'er and you what I eat at home. Besides, I don't bring it every day, and Yu'er is hungry sometimes.

"

"But it is only because of your support that we have been able to survive till now. Otherwise, how could I be better? How could Yu'er be better?"

"I don't have much ability. I just wash some clothes for others, sew and mend clothes, and take care of two children. I'm not very capable at all!"

Sister-in-law Li wiped away her tears. She was already under a lot of pressure, but after adding Yu'er and Xiao Lan, she was really under a lot more pressure. Fortunately, everything makes sense now.

Xiao Lan recovered and no longer fell ill. Xiao Yu had someone to rely on, and their family also recovered.
