In the early morning, the crow of cocks and the barking of dogs woke up the sleeping people.
The sun shyly poked its head out, first tentatively emitting a little light, and then gradually the light grew larger and larger, covering the entire world.
Tuk-tuk-tuk! Mu Siyu quickly chopped green onion leaves, put them into the wooden bowl next to her, beat a few eggs and stirred quickly, then added various seasonings and flour and kneaded them into a ball...
Her movements were so nimble and she looked like she was performing acrobatics, which dazzled the little brother Zhiqian who was lighting the fire.
Cut the large dough into small pieces, brush it with a layer of oil, knead it for a while and then spread it into thin pancakes. Then, the hot pan will bake the pancakes into golden brown, exuding a fragrant fragrance.
Zhiqian swallowed his saliva and said, "Madam, it smells so good. Your craftsmanship is really superb."
"Eat as much as you like. It's the time when you are growing and you should take good nutrition." Mu Siyu's hands did not stop.
She said it was not polite to eat more. She baked the cakes one after another and put them in the basket. The bamboo basket was almost full.
"It's almost ready, take the milk out."
Zhiqian responded and brought out the milk.
Lu Yi came in carrying firewood and saw Zhiqian placing the dishes and chopsticks. Knowing that breakfast was ready, he went to wash it and then changed his clothes and came out.
Now that we have a carriage at home, we don’t have to go to town before dawn. After breakfast, we will have to go to town to run errands.
Mu Siyu is going into the city today, and both the Lu family's carriages will have to go out later.
"What is this?" Lu Xuan smelled the milk and frowned so hard that he could catch a fly.
"The cow at Aunt Yao's house gave birth to a calf. I saw that its milk was good, so I bought some from her. Don't worry, I've dealt with it, and it doesn't have such a strong milk smell."
Mu Siyu put down the cake and explained.
"I can't get used to this smell." Lu Xuan said, "How about I drink water?"
"Milk is good for the body. Whether it's uncle or Zhiqian, your bodies need good supplements. Especially Zhiqian, you have been malnourished for a long time and are not tall. This is not good! Aunt Yao and I
We agreed that we would buy some milk from her every day. Aunt Yao originally didn’t charge me for it, but I wanted to buy it for a long time, and if she didn’t charge me, I wouldn’t want it anymore, so I just accepted it.”
Zhiqian buried his head in the bowl and drank.
"Don't just drink milk, eat some cakes! Weren't you greedy when you were in the kitchen just now?" Mu Siyu took a cake and gave it to Zhiqian: "Don't be restrained, just treat it like your own home."
Xia Kun was not polite. He held the cake in one hand and the milk in the other, eating big mouthfuls without saying a word.
Lu Xuan was still disgusted, but after Lu Yi took a look at it, he immediately became honest.
"Zhiqian, if you don't like it, forget it. Don't force it." Seeing that Zhiqian remained silent and kept his head buried, Mu Siyu felt a little embarrassed: "Everyone has something they don't like. If you don't like it, don't like it.
, just say it openly."
Zhiqian put down the bowl and wiped away his tears: "No, ma'am, I'm so happy. I used to have one meal but not another. Later, I followed Brother Kun and I ate some, but no one was like this."
She cares about me. Madam is so kind to me, just like my relatives."
"In these five years, if you stay with us, you will become our family. If you like to eat anything in the future, just tell me and I will try my best to take care of your diet and daily life."
"Thank you ma'am."
"Sister-in-law, I..." Lu Xuan had just said half a sentence when he saw Lu Yi looking over and swallowing the words that came to his mouth: "Drinking milk is really helpful to the body?"
"Of course, people who drink milk regularly will grow much taller and be physically stronger," Mu Siyu said.
"Then I'll drink."
Lu Xuan closed his eyes and drank heavily.
I can’t do it without drinking! My elder brother’s eyes are like knives. If he dares to say ‘I won’t drink’, I’m afraid he will have to bear his dagger-like eyes for the next few days.
"Brother Xia, should you shave your beard? If you don't have anything, my husband can help you." Mu Siyu said to Xia Kun.
Xia Kun changed out of his beggar's clothes. He had washed them very clean yesterday. His messy hair was combed into a ponytail and tied with a black rope. He looked quite energetic, but that beard...
The beard covers his entire face, so how can you tell what he looks like? The most recognizable thing about him is his eyes, which are like evil wolves that most people dare not mess with.
Xia Kun ate eight cakes in one breath, drank a large bowl of milk, wiped his mouth, and left.
Mu Siyu: "..."
She looked at Lu Yi sadly.
Lu Yi raised the corners of his mouth and touched her hair: "Brother Xia is just like this, don't worry about it."
"Of course I know he has this temperament, so can't we change it?" Mu Siyu pouted.
"No, I need sensible elves around me, and you need people with strong martial arts skills." Lu Yi smiled lightly: "Okay, I'm going to deliver some cakes to my mother-in-law. You can wait for me after you finish eating."
Zhiqian looks like a good-looking young man. But he is too thin. If he puts on more meat, this young man's appearance will be comparable to those of modern young meat stars.
Lu Yi went to deliver the cakes, and Zhiqian helped clean up the house, and then the yard. After everything was done, he took Lu Zhiyun there to play shuttlecock.
"Wow, brother Zhiqian is so awesome."
Lu Zhiyun clapped her hands in the yard.
The little black dog followed beside her, wagging its tail, barking twice from time to time, and looking very excited.
When Mu Siyu was washing dishes, she saw the scene in the yard, and her eyes felt warm.
Lu Yi carried a basket to deliver cakes, and the villagers passing by greeted him warmly. Lu Yi had always been cold, no matter who he greeted, he would nod his head and say hello, without saying any unnecessary words.
"Mother-in-law...Mother-in-law..." Lu Yi patted the door.
Mrs. Tong opened her eyes drowsily and saw Dr. Zhu lying on the bed. She was too tired last night and fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed.
The banging on the door continued outside, and Mrs. Tong finally reacted and hurriedly went out to open the door.
"Mother-in-law, haven't you rested yet?" Lu Yi saw the dark blue under Tong's eyes and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no." Tong laughed dryly: "I just didn't sleep well."
"This is the cake baked by my wife. My mother-in-law can try it."
"Okay." Mrs. Tong took it and said, "Then I won't give it to you."
Lu Yi thought Tong was acting strange, so he just assumed she hadn't rested well and didn't ask any more questions.
"If mother-in-law feels uncomfortable in any way, she must tell us."
"Don't worry, I'm not feeling uncomfortable," Tong said.
Bang! There was a sound of heavy objects falling from inside.
