Chapter 6 Sour Tea
When Li Shishi returned to the house, she didn't see the second daughter, but only saw the eldest daughter squatting beside the kang to make a fire.

Li Shishi glanced left and right, put the steamed buns on the table, saw the two cups on the table, and then asked, "Where is my sister?"

"Sister has a stomachache, she's gone to the latrine." The eldest girl replied without raising her head.

Li Shishi snorted, then sat at the table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup into the empty cup, and said, "Just now I went to the kitchen to find some steamed buns, and it's not dark yet, so I'll go out later to see if there are any more. I don’t have anything else to eat, so when you light the fire, mother will bake steamed buns for you, okay?”

Hearing this, the eldest daughter suddenly turned her head, stared at the steamed buns on the table with bright eyes, and said, "That's great, we will go with you when my sister comes back later."

"En." Li Shishi nodded with a smile, and took a sip from the cup.

It's just that before the water was drunk, she felt the smell of the water, and then quickly vomited it to the ground.

I opened the lid of the pot and smelled it, and it turned out that the water here had gone bad.

"How long has this water been in?"

"What?" Brother Zhao looked back for a long time after hearing this, and then said, "This water was boiled in the morning, so it must be a little cold."

"It smells bad." Li Shishi said with a frown.

"Oh, maybe the tea leaves are broken." The eldest girl also muttered, and then ran to the cabinet, found a small bag of tea leaves, and when she reached Li Shishi, she opened the tea bag, which had already been damp, and a musty smell burst out.

"Could it be this tea that's brewed in this teapot?"

"Yes." The eldest daughter nodded: "My younger sister found this out of the cabinet on purpose. She wanted to let her drink tea when she came back. At that time, I was busy boiling water so I didn't look at it. I didn't expect the tea to be broken. "

"Did sister drink this tea?" Li Shishi asked.

"That's right, just now my sister said she was thirsty, so she drank a big glass. Then Erniang came and took a sip too. Here, the half of the glass is what she drank."

"What?" Li Shishi's eyes widened after hearing this, and she asked in disbelief, "You said Erniang drank the tea?"

"Well, I drank it, but I vomited it before I swallowed it. It's really bad to drink."

"!" Li Shishi frowned, looking at the teacup on the table, secretly feeling that she might get burned.

Looking at the mother whose expression changed suddenly, Brother Zhao seemed to realize that this matter is not simple, so he asked cautiously: "My sister just said that her stomach hurts, is it because of drinking tea?"

Li Shishi nodded absently.

In the worst case, if something happened, she would take care of it for the child. She lost a big scar on her head. If it didn't work, she would do it all over again.

But even so, Li Shishi's expression was full of tears.

She turned around and looked at Zhaodi: "Go and pour out the rest of the tea, remember to be careful not to be seen."

Brother Zhao nodded and went out the door carrying the teapot.

After a while, Daidi came back with a small face that was waxy and yellow, obviously exhausted from pulling.

Li Shishi hurried over and picked up Daidi and asked with concern: "How is it, is it better?"

Brother Dai nodded weakly and said: "It's much better, my stomach hurt just now."

"Hey, it doesn't hurt. Your body is weak and your intestines and stomach are weak, and you can't stand the torment. Mother will hold you and lie down under the quilt for a while, and you will be fine in a while."

"En." Daidi nodded, letting Li Shishi hug her and tuck her into the bed.

Li Shishi put the second daughter into the quilt, turned around and boiled a pot of hot water, and fed the child some steamed buns while it was warm.

Fortunately, Daidi was no longer suffering from diarrhea and stomach pain, so she was relieved anyway.

But it was a long time since the eldest daughter came back, so she couldn't help worrying.

It was the first time she became a mother, and she was in a hurry, making her one head and two big ones.

After a while, Daidi fell asleep, so Li Shishi tucked her in the quilt again and turned around to see if Zhaodi came back.

Just as she was tucking in the quilt, a figure flashed through the door.

Li Shishi looked back, but saw the eldest daughter smiling at her and saying: "Mother, I'm back."

Seeing that Zhaodi's hands were empty, Li Shishi asked
"Where's the teapot?"

Brother Zhao sighed, and said: "I ran into my third brother just as I was going out. He used to grab things. Seeing what I was holding, he insisted on going over. I said I couldn't give it to him, but he just took the teapot away. It broke and pushed me."

When Li Shishi heard that there was still such a thing, she saw that although the eldest daughter's body was covered with some dirt, she was fine.

Not only was it okay, but it also solved a problem by the way. Li Shishi smiled and beckoned Zhaodi to come over, then gently knocked off the thin soil on her body and asked, "It's okay, if it breaks, it will break, as long as you are not injured."

"He always robs us to bully my sister, so he won't tell Erniang where this thing came from. Besides, I have already told him that this thing is not good. He wanted to grab it, but I didn't hold it. I dropped the teapot..."

Looking at Zhaodi's expression, Li Shishi felt that something was wrong, so she asked tentatively: "It's true that you are not sure?"

Brother Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly.

Li Shishi knew it well, so she didn't ask questions.

After all, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at riding.

The two chatted again, during which Li Shishi did not forget to tell her to be more careful in doing things in the future.

The words are euphemistic, and recruiting younger brothers can understand, children, those who should be guided must be guided, and those who should be educated must be educated.

Li Shishi, who traveled through the first day, quickly adapted to her new identity.

Before it was dark, Li Shishi went to the kitchen again while the maid was serving the dishes, and brought some potatoes and radishes by the way.

Walking out of the moon gate, she noticed the scattered pieces of porcelain on the ground, and thought this should be the teapot.

But the tea foam is gone, which saves trouble.

Then she hurried to the kitchen.

It was just spring, and the vegetables hadn't been planted in the fields yet. Although Zhao's family was a big family, they couldn't eat everything from big fish to big meat.

Li Shishi is already very content with radishes and potatoes.

Before leaving, I took some coarse salt seasoning.

After returning home, Li Shishi washed the potatoes and stuffed them into the kang hole.

Niang San ate with these, and had a long-lost full meal.

While the children were eating, Li Shishi hurriedly stuffed the bag of tea into the kang hole that had not been turned off.

At night, she lay on the kang with her two daughters in her arms and told them bedtime stories.

These stories are stories that Daidi and Zhaodi have never heard before, about princes and princesses, and about Cinderella, and the two children cried when they heard them.

Brother Zhao really doesn't understand why mother wakes up like this, can tell stories, and coax them both.

Obviously, when things like today happened before, my mother had already gone to grandma to plead guilty.

But now there is no, not only did not, but also found a lot of food for them.

This mess of questions made Zhaodi unable to listen to the story anymore.

Blinking and staring at Li Shishi with big eyes.

As soon as Li Shishi lowered her head, she saw Zhaodi's big eyeballs, she jumped in her heart, and asked, "What do you think I am doing?"

"Mom, actually I've always wanted to ask you, why are you different today from before?"

When Li Shishi heard it, she was shocked again.

How do you explain this to your child?
Came here by yourself?Your mother died?

This doesn't make any sense...

Just when she was scratching her head and trying to make an excuse, Brother Zhao suddenly smiled, put his arms around Li Shishi and said, "I like such a mother."

Li Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously, "What about my former mother? Do you like it?"

Brother Zhao hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "I like it too, I like everything, no matter what my mother becomes, she is the best mother."

Then she hugged Li Shishi tightly, tightly, and Daidi, who was already asleep, also hugged Li Shishi in his sleep.

The two children cuddled tightly in her arms, as if this could reassure them.

Perhaps this is the feeling that being a mother can bring to her children.

Only with my mother around can my heart be at ease.
