Spatial hoarding to raise cubs

Chapter 211 Borrowing the Steamer

After Xiaoyuan followed his cousin back home, the two put a bag of rice and two bags of noodles on the ground.

The old couple hurried to open the pocket, and they really saw rice noodles inside.

They were skinny and trembling all over, carefully holding a handful of rice in their hands.

The two looked at each other in front of their eyes.

"Grandfather, grandma, now our family doesn't have to worry about food."

Dalin was also very sad to see the old couple.

Before my family got better, my mother was also worried during the Chinese New Year. I didn’t know if the half stick noodles and wild vegetables that were almost finished at home could last until the beginning of spring. It's really getting through.

They go hungry every year. Dalin is the oldest of the four children, and then there are Erni, Xiaoyuan and Xiaohua. Because Mrs. Li got married early, the dowry gift is a bag of stick noodles. That is Mrs. Li's sister-in-law.

So Mrs. Li's child is older than that of her brother's sister-in-law.

The memory of Dalin being hungry is longer than that of Erni, and the memory is deeper.

At that time, my sister was still young, and he used stick batter to feed her. He also ate the same amount of food as his sister, so he remembered it deeply.

Seeing what the old couple did, he couldn't help but recall the hard times before.

The old couple saw that the room was full of food brought by their daughter's family, and their hearts sank back into their stomachs.

Now that they have these foods, especially these rice noodles and sweet potatoes and yams, they can survive until the beginning of spring, and even if they save food, they can survive for a longer time.

Mrs. Li took the basin into the house, and then scooped the flour into the basin with a water ladle.

Xiaohua hurried forward to help, Erni was already picking vegetables, she couldn't just watch.

Dalin went to chop firewood, and Xiaoyuan went to help.

Thinking of eating meat buns for lunch, Aunt Li patted her thigh and said, "Our house doesn't have a steamer, how can we steam meat buns? No, I have to borrow a steamer."

Then Aunt Li saw Mother staggering out the door.

When Mrs. Li's mother was on the way to borrow a steamer, she wondered who to borrow it from?
The people outside the door have almost dispersed, even the children were taken home by the adults at home, and the snacks were saved to eat slowly, and the candied haws had to be saved, so that they could not eat at once No, there is nothing to eat.

Save some for the children, just let them eat one or two candied haws.

Although the children still wanted to eat, they heard their parents say that they would have nothing to eat after they finished eating at once. In the end, they agreed with their parents and left most of it for tomorrow.

So when she went out, no one saw where she was going. She thought about it at the door, then turned right into a small alley, and walked to the top. Relationships are the best.

They have always helped each other.

Seeing that the door was open, she stepped forward and asked a question.

"Is the old lady there?"

"Who?"

"Me, let me borrow your steamer."

An old lady with gray hair and also wearing patch upon patch clothes came out.

"Auntie, what are you doing with the steamer?"

Facing the old sister-in-law who has always been pretty good to herself, she said truthfully, "My daughter wants to steam meat buns for me, and when the steaming is over, I will bring you some when I send you the steamer, and let you try it too." Taste the meat buns."

When the old sister-in-law heard this, she immediately smiled, "Your girl is very kind, she is really kind to you, just now at your door, I got a bunch of rock sugar paste and two handfuls of small snacks, I kept them all, Take the steamer and use it, my daughter can’t stay here for a few more days? Bring it back after you use it up, don’t worry, I won’t use it for two days.”

The noodles are reconciled, the meat stuffing is chopped, and it can be wrapped when the noodles are fermented.

Sister-in-law Li saw his daughter busy in the kitchen, chopping meat stuffing for a while, and chopping cabbage for a while.

The four children, Dalin, Xiaoyuan, Erni, and Xiaohua, have been helping her with things. After finishing their work, they chatted with their cousin.

They saw the beautiful clothes on cousin and Erni.

The two children looked down at the clothes and shoes they were wearing, and then they heard grandpa calling them.

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaohua, you two come over and have a look, do the clothes your aunt bought for you fit?"

"What, aunt bought us new clothes?"

The eyes of the two children also widened, and it was enough to give them some food, so why spend money on buying clothes for them?
They looked back at the fat figure who was busy by the stove, and then they walked towards the room.

Dalin and Erni smiled at each other, and then walked into the door.

The two children walked into the inner bedroom and saw that there were a lot of clothes on the bed. They were all focused on eating just now. If their grandpa hadn't called them, they wouldn't have known that their aunt had bought clothes for them.

A lot of new clothes, some from grandma and theirs, especially their clothes are more colorful than grandma's.

Xiaoyuan's clothes are blue on the top, black trousers on the bottom, a cotton jacket and a single jacket.

Xiaohua's clothes are calico cotton clothes and calico single clothes, each of which is a set.

Seeing these new clothes, the two children seemed to be dreaming.

Just when the two of them were still dizzy, they heard Grandpa say, "Quickly put them on and have a try, do the new clothes your aunt bought for you fit?"

Xiao Hua picked up the red flowered jacket on the bed and stroked it lightly. This dress was the same color as that worn by Cousin Erni, and the two couldn't wait to put the new clothes on their bodies like this.

But the two heard their grandfather say, "Don't change here, go back to your own room to change. Change the original clothes, and don't get these new clothes dirty."

The two children were undoubtedly ashamed, they wished they could find a seam in the ground to get in, and immediately went back to the house with the cotton coat handed over by their grandfather to change.

Just about to go out, the two heard their grandpa say again, "Wait, there are still these shoes, one pair of boots and one pair of shoes per person, take it home and exchange for a pair of boots, and let your grandma keep the other pair of new shoes first, wait a minute." If you wear it out, wear another pair."

The eyes of the two children immediately widened. The aunt was really kind to them.

Mrs. Li came back with the steamer and saw Erni helping at the stove.

She hastily stepped forward and said, "Erni, stop working here, leave this stove quickly, don't get your clothes dirty in such a dirty place."

Erni replied with a smile, "It's okay, I'm used to cooking at home, and I've been helping my mother cook food all the time. My brother is very busy and tired."
