After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 4 Why Mother Doesn't Like Me

Su Mo quickly cleaned the kitchen to a new look, and got the reward from the system as he wished.

It's just that there is no condiment in the kitchen, so go ask the nearby villagers for it?According to their attitude towards the original body, it's not too bad to drive them out.

Su Mo directly pointed his idea at the system, so the system reluctantly issued the task.

"Ding, the system task is being dispatched...

Been hungry for a long time, are you sure you don't want a bowl of sweet and soft rice?

Ask the host to start the fire and cook within a quarter of an hour.

Reward: condiments (you can choose four of them)"

Su Mo was overjoyed, washed her hands, picked up the steamer and cleaned it, then found a steamer cloth to put it on, and then put the rice given by the system into it.

It's just that she suddenly discovered that the two buckets of water were used up just after cleaning the kitchen.

258 gloated and reminded, "There are still 10 minutes."

10 minutes is enough to pick up water and walk quickly. Su Mo ignored the system, picked up the wooden bucket, and rushed to the well in a hurry.

In order to save time, she only fetched half a bucket of water and ran back. The system smiled maliciously, as if it finally managed to win the round.

"Ten minutes left."

Su Mo concentrated on scooping water to wash the rice, poured the rice washing water directly into the iron pot, and then put the steamer on it.

There is also firewood and flintstones in the kitchen. Su Mo is wandering around in the last days, just lighting the fire, which is trivial.

The flint collided with scattered sparks, which ignited the grass. Su Mo blew lightly, and the fire grew slightly. She added more firewood. In the last three seconds of the system's countdown, a raging fire ignited in the stove.

After the task was completed, a small light cluster in his mind flickered, giving eight options.

Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili, chives, coriander.

Su Mo thought for a while, the pork given by the system was fat and lean pork belly, and the fat could be picked out for frying.

Salt is definitely a must, and chili is also necessary. Children love sugar, and they can also choose, that is, soy sauce and vinegar...

Or choose soy sauce.

Su Mo quickly answered, and the system distributed the rewards, which were directly put into the small clay pots that she had cleaned.

After everything was ready, Su Mo took out the whetstone and carefully polished some rusty knives.

A catty of pork is still a lot, so she divided the pork into three parts, picked out the fatty ones, trimmed off the fat, and then cut the lean meat.

There are still many small clay pots at home, all of which were moved from the old house, and Su Mo just cleaned them all.

There is not much oil for frying, so Su Mo calculated in his mind that it would be enough for two days.

After all, there were too few condiments, so Su Mo simply fried chili fried meat, and found some wild vegetables near the small courtyard, blanched them and mixed them with soy sauce.

The smoke curled up and dissipated in the air. Someone raised his head and saw who owned the chimney that raised the smoke, and he looked surprised. This Gu family will not make any trouble again, right?

He lowered his head and told himself not to meddle in it, but he still unconsciously walked to his water tank, as if anyone would say "Gu's house is on fire", they would immediately carry water and run over.

Fortunately, the smoke stopped.

Su Mo put the dishes on the edge of the stove, so that the dishes would not get cold too quickly.

She cast her eyes on the last bit of water in the bucket, thought for a while, picked up the rag and went into the living room.

Instead of haggling with the system, she wiped the tables and chairs in the living room clean, the water was gone, and the rag was still dirty.

Su Mo sighed, her stomach rumbled, she brought the dishes into the living room, and the aroma was overflowing.

In the room on the east side, Gu Xingnian sniffed while huddled in his elder brother's arms, his stomach sounded like he was singing.

She grabbed Gu Jinnian's sleeve and whispered, "Second Brother, I'm hungry..."

Gu Jinnian clenched his hands into fists and didn't say a word, but Gu Ping'an rubbed his younger sister's head and coaxed, "Little girl, my brother will take you to the beach to pick up conch later. Let's cook the conch and eat it, okay?"

Gu Xingnian's luck is very good, all these years, relying on her koi life, the three of them were not starved to death.

It's just that as a child, it's impossible to cook as long as you want to be full and delicious.

Gu Xingnian pursed her lips, tears welled up in her eyes, she was four years old, but she was thin and short, like a child over two years old.

Gu Xingnian asked his own doubts in puzzlement.

"Why doesn't mother like me?"

At this time, she is ignorant of many things, but in fact, the child at this time is more able to feel whether others like her or not.

It's just that her answer is destined to have no answer.

Gu Jinnian didn't know what to think of, his face was pale, his clenched hands loosened, and they fell powerlessly to his sides.

Gu Ping'an raised his hand to appease his sister, but it froze in mid-air, not knowing what to do.

In fact, they were all guilty in their hearts. If they hadn't been clamoring for big fish, father and grandparents wouldn't have gone to sea, and they wouldn't have died if they didn't go to sea.

But Gu Xingnian didn't know about this matter.

The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, and suddenly, the door was opened, and a large piece of sunlight broke in, bright and dazzling.

Su Mo glanced at the three children, walked over, stood in front of the three children, and his shadow fell on the three children.

"go to eat."

Yuan Chen's voice is very nice, soft and delicate, and when he talks on weekdays, he always subconsciously draws out the tune, and Gu Dalang will be fascinated every time he listens to it.

Naturally, Su Mo wouldn't draw a long tail. She spoke cleanly and sharply, like the summer breeze rushing by, clear and refreshing, and with a touch of alienation, she couldn't refuse.

Gu Jinnian was the first to react, holding Gu Xingnian in his arms, with vigilance and disgust in his eyes.

"If I don't go, you don't want to sell me again!"

Su Mo was slightly stunned, and the relevant memory suddenly appeared in his mind.

During the Chinese New Year, Yuanshen, for the first time in the county, came back to buy food, cheerfully called the three children and let them eat.

The three children were a little scared at first, but Yuanshen kept smiling and gave them each a new set of clothes, which instantly made them relax.

The whole family gathered together and had a happy meal. The three children fell asleep, so Yuanshen carried them into the room and put them to sleep.

After they all fell asleep, they took Gu Jinnian to the county seat and sold him for a tael of silver.

Later, the village chief got the news and ran to rescue Gu Jinnian. The village chief's leg was also injured that time.

After that incident, the attitude of the villagers toward Yuan Bo really turned into disgust. After all, no matter how poor or miserable, the village never sold anyone who sold children.

When Gu Jinnian saw that Su Mo was sullen and silent, he clenched his fists to make his tone more fierce, and threatened: "If you dare to betray me, the village head grandpa will definitely drive you out of the village and let you stand on your own."

During the Dayong Dynasty, the folk customs were open, and it was common for women to set up their own families, but when they were driven out of the village, they lost their support.

This kid is quite a threat.

Gu Pingan also came back to his senses, the memory of the Chinese New Year is still deeply engraved in his mind, he moved his body, did not speak, his body was stretched straight, protecting his younger siblings behind him, his black eyes fixed on Su Mo.

It is Gu Xingnian who is the most closely guarded. After all, he is young, has no memory, and has a simple mind. Just now he was asking why his mother didn't like her, but when he heard her calling for dinner, his eyes lit up.

She twisted and twisted, trying to break free and follow Su Mo to eat, she was so hungry...
