Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Li Xiaomin will cook dinner, and her younger brother Li Erniu will help.
Li Tugen found a hidden place and began to cultivate the lettuce seeds and peas that he had obtained at the check-in today.
Not long after, Li Tugen came back with two baskets of vegetables.
A basket of lettuce, a basket of peas and pea tips.
These vegetables are not dirty, not stained with soil, just wash them with clean water.
As for meat dishes, Li Xiaomin prepared fried pork with green peppers, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, stewed pig's trotters with white radish, and fried pork slices with peas.
The green vegetables include lettuce and pea tips, just put them in the pot and scald them when you eat them later.
Cooking rice outside is too troublesome, and the staple food tonight is steamed buns made of white noodles.
"Er Niu, go and call your younger brothers and sisters back for dinner." After cooking the last dish, Li Xiaomin asked Er Niu to call the little ones back.
"it is good."
After frying the last dish, Li Xiaomin scooped a spoonful of water into the pot, covered the pot and let it cook.
"Uncle Lu, Grandpa Li, you can eat now." Li Xiaomin shouted.
Not long after, the four little guys called back by Li Erniu also ran over.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"It's all meat!"
"Eat, eat, eat!!"
The little guys were chattering around the table, but their eyes were fixed on the meat on the table.
"Come here and wash your hands. Anyone who doesn't wash their hands will not be given meat." Li Erniu scooped up two spoonfuls of water and put them in the basin, squatting beside him and shouted.
"handwashing!"
"Nest wash!"
"I wash too!"
"Everyone line up, come one by one." Li Erniu said, "The dumplings run the fastest, and the dumplings are washed first."
The first dumpling to wash couldn't help but proudly raised his little head, then squatted down and stretched out his hands to let Brother Erniu wash his hands.
After washing your hands and drying them with a cloth, you can finally eat.
The small table where the dishes are placed is a folding wooden table, which is a little shorter than Xiaotuanzi.
However, this height is just right for the little ones to stand and eat.
The white flour steamed buns are relatively large, and the little ones break off half of them first, and then add more after eating.
Su Qingyun first changed Er Bao's diaper and then fed her, before taking the baby out.
Lu Changge took it, and coaxed Er Bao while eating.
It was getting dark after dinner, so I piled up the remaining firewood and boiled some hot water while burning.
After washing their feet with warm water, they took off their coats and put them aside, and the little ones lay down in the tents in rows.
The fleece blanket is big and thick, and it is no problem to cover four baby dolls.
Dahei and Erhei were lying on the side of the fire and guarding.
Lu Changge got into the carriage, saw his wife still sitting, and asked aloud, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Let's wait together."
"The bed is too small, I won't lie down, you go to sleep."
As Lu Changge said, he took out a quilt from the space, and prepared to spend the whole night leaning against the wall of the car.
In the end, Lu Changge still lay down on the bed, but his long legs were hanging outside, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Su Qingyun, who was sleeping next to her, curled up and pressed tightly against Lu Changge's body.
In the middle of the night, Er Bao woke up.
Lu Changge opened his eyes when he heard the crying, and patted Su Qingyun on the back to make him continue to sleep.
And he carried Er Bao aside, changed the diaper and fed the baby.
Erbao is different from Tuanzi when he was a child. Every time he cried, he was either hungry or peed, and he stopped crying after solving the problem.
It can be said that it is the best of cute babies, and it is easy to raise.
In one night, Lu Changge changed Erbao's diaper twice and fed him three times.
By the way, I have to go and see if the cubs have kicked the quilt.
Soon, the night passed.
Last night's fire was long gone, and in the morning I woke up with nothing but ashes.
Not long after Lu Changge got up, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin also woke up.
After saying hello to Uncle Lu, the three children went back to collect firewood and fetch water, and then started to boil hot water.
The other pot is for cooking breakfast. Today's breakfast is dumplings and boiled eggs.
Lu Changge also prepared ten sweet potatoes and buried them directly in the fire.
Go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning.
After the hot water was boiled, the little ones also got up.
Li Xiaomin went to help them get dressed and put on shoes, and then took them aside to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
After everyone got up, Li Erniu also cooked the dumplings.
The four little guys each have five dumplings and a boiled egg.
Others have no limit, eat while cooking, eat as much as you want.
After breakfast, put out the fire, and turn out the roasted sweet potatoes from inside.
The surface of the roasted sweet potato is black and burnt. When you break it apart and taste it, it is soft, glutinous and sweet.
After eating the sweet potatoes and packing up their things, Lu Changge and his party continued their journey.
Lu Changge's destination is Jincheng, which is two cities away from Lijiacun.
After walking stop and go for more than half a month, Lu Changge and others could see the tall city wall from a distance.
Seeing the city wall in the distance, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin were both excited.
However, when I approached, I found that there was a long queue outside the city gate, and most of them came with their families.
The big and small bags are like fleeing from a refugee.
Li Tugen asked his grandfather to drive, but he got out of the carriage and went to look for Uncle Lu.
After talking to Uncle Lu, Li Tugen reminded Miss Xiao Min before returning to his carriage.
There are also several carriages in the two teams.
Their three carriages looked ordinary, but they did not attract the attention of others.
However, the two big wolf dogs on Lu Changge's carriage attracted the attention of quite a few people.
A few of them even had green eyes, looking as if they wanted to eat them.
Dahei Erhei is very sensitive to people's emotions. He glanced around and immediately found a few malicious eyes.
Then he stared at them, bared his teeth and yelled at them.
The big wolf dog howled suddenly, startling everyone around.
And those few malicious eyes quickly put away their little thoughts.
The queue to enter the city was very long, from nine o'clock to noon.
Lu Changge left Dahei and Erhei outside, while he got into the carriage.
There are many people outside, in order to avoid attracting more people's attention, for today's lunch Lu Changge chose white flour steamed buns that are not easy to smell.
Boiled eggs, a box of deli meat slices, and plain beef jerky.
These are all prepared before and placed in storage.
Lu Changge quickly finished his lunch, then got out of the carriage and continued to guard.
It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that they finally entered the city.
A city is divided into an inner city and an outer city.
After entering the city, Lu Changge went directly to the dental shop to find someone to inquire about the situation in the inner city.
Hearing that even the inns in the inner city were full, Lu Changge and others decided to stay in the outer city.
And rented a seat in the outer city and entered the courtyard.
Lu Changge originally wanted to rent a second hospital.
However, there have been a lot of people who have moved from other places recently.
Now there is a shortage of houses, there are only three primary courtyards left, and one secondary courtyard that needs to be shared with other people.
In the end, Lu Changge rented a room to enter the hospital for four months.
During a drought, there is no danger in staying in the city, but after a drought, there is a danger of floods and heavy rains.
Nowhere was safe at that time, only the imperial city and the two cities next to it were not in danger of being flooded.
However, after the flood, these three safe cities were the hardest-hit areas of the plague.
As well as the subsequent wars, several other countries even went straight to Huanglong.
The imperial city was the first to be breached.
Therefore, it is not safe to escape anywhere now.
Lu Changge planned to leave Jincheng in May and hide in the Daxing Mountain outside the city.
And this is why Lu Changge chose Jincheng as his temporary residence.
The courtyard that Lu Changge rented was not large, but it had all the necessary facilities.
The main room is also used as the north room, with three rooms.
There is a side room on each side of the main room, so there are three front rooms and two ears, a total of five rooms.
In addition, there are east and west wing rooms on both sides of the main room, each with three rooms.
In the middle of the south is the gate, and there are three small rooms on each side of the gate.
After completing the renting procedures, Lu Changge and others followed the dental staff to the yard they rented.
The outer city is divided into residential area, commercial area, and farming area.
The commercial area is close to the inner city, and further outside is the residential area.
The land area in the city is limited, so the size of the houses has a uniform specification.
The distance between courtyards is also very small.
Usually, by climbing onto the wall of one's own yard, one can see the neighbor's yard.
If the skill is more vigorous, you can jump into the neighbor's house through the courtyard wall.
After walking for a while, we finally arrived.
However, Lu Changge's carriage could not enter the alley.
"Master Lu, your carriage can't go into the alley, or you can park it at the carriage parking place first, and you only need one copper coin a day." The errand brother who brought them over suggested.
"No need." Lu Changge refused, and then called Dahei and the others to come down.
"Dahei Erhei, come down."
Dahei Erhei, who was lying on the mezzanine box, got up and jumped out when he heard it.
Standing up straight, shaking the hair on his body, he opened his mouth and yawned.
The boy running errands at Yahang realized that the backs of these two big wolf dogs reached his waist.
Subconsciously took a few steps back, only to find that the two big wolfhounds didn't even give him a look.
awkward.
Lu Changge removed the protruding mezzanine on both sides of the carriage, just in time to pass.
"You lead the way, and I'll let them follow." Lu Changge said, and gestured to Da Hei and Er Hei with his eyes.
Dahei barked at the errand brother, and then walked in front.
After walking a few steps, he found that the human hadn't followed, and looked back at him silently.
"Okay...okay, it's actually not far away, it's the fifth courtyard on the left from the alley."
Lu Changge hummed, followed slowly in the carriage, and stopped in front of the fifth courtyard.
The door is closed, and the plaque on the door is also blank.
"Master Lu, this is the courtyard you rented. This is the key." With that said, the tooth shop brother handed the key to Lu Changge.
He also said: "The plaque will be ready in a few days, and then we will hang it up for you directly."
"Ah."
After bringing people over and handing over the keys, the people from the tooth shop left from the other side of the alley.
"Uncle Lu, is this the yard we rented?" Li Tugen walked from behind the carriage and looked up at the gate in front of him.
"Well, go in first."
He opened the gate, drove the carriage in, and Li Tugen, who entered last, closed the gate by the way.
After entering, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin carried the younger siblings out of the carriage first.
Then go find Uncle Lu together.
"Uncle Lu, the main room and the east and west wing rooms are three rooms.
Uncle Lu, your family lives in the main room, Miss Xiao Min’s family lives in the east wing, and my grandfather and I live in the west wing. What do you think? "
Li Tugen said.
When I went to rent a house just now, the people from the tooth shop introduced the layout of the houses in the courtyard to Lu Changge, and Li Tugen also heard it.
"En." Lu Changge nodded, and said again: "Give me the side rooms on both sides, and you can allocate three rooms on each side of the gate."
"Okay." Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin nodded in response.
After all the rooms were allocated, they began to tidy up their house.
This house should be cleaned every once in a while, so that there is no need to rush when someone comes to rent it.
There is a well in the yard.
Lu Changge wanted to fetch a bucket, but when he probed it, there was only a shallow layer of water left in it.
It's hard to say whether half a barrel is enough or not.
Moving things from the carriage, Li Tugen saw Uncle Lu fetching water and asked casually.
"Uncle Lu, is there any water in the well?"
"No."
"Is Uncle Lu urgent? I have some water in there..."
Li Tugen is bound to the planting system. Among the rewards he gets for signing in every day, there are three buckets of clear water.
Sometimes random rewards and consecutive signing rewards will also drop.
So he has a lot of water there.
"No need." Lu Changge shook his head and said, "Tomorrow, I'll find out where I can carry water."
There was no water in the well, so they had to find water.
Otherwise, after a long time, they can live a normal life without water in the well, which will definitely attract the attention of others.
"Okay." Li Tugen responded and continued to move things.
Lu Changge carried the bucket into the house, took out a bucket of water from the storage container, and asked Da Teng Er Teng to wipe the entire room with a cloth.
Wipe it wet and then dry it twice, and wait for the bed board to dry before laying the mattress on it.
The original bed curtain was dismantled by Lu Changge and replaced with theirs.
It was too late, Lu Changge only cleaned up one room, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
The side room on the west side of the main house is arranged as a small kitchen.
Lu Changge went in and took a look.
The ear room is not big, only a cupboard and a few bundles of firewood can be placed there.
The remaining firewood should be placed on the road between the ear room and the west wing room.
The stove against the wall has two stoves for cooking.
There is also a small stove for burning earth dragons.
Lu Changge first blocked the Dilong entrances of the remaining two houses, and then asked Er Teng to light the Dilong on fire.
There was only a half-new cupboard in the kitchen, three bundles of firewood, and nothing left, not even a bowl.
Fortunately, Lu Changge packed up all his belongings and came over.
An hour later, Lu Changge put the prepared meals into a food box and walked into the main room with them.
As soon as he opened the door and walked in, warmth enveloped him instantly.
Xiao Tuanzi, who was rolling on the bed, suddenly looked up when he heard the sound of the door opening, and saw his father walking in.
"Daddy! Have you eaten enough?"
"Okay."
Lu Changge opened the lunch box and laid out the food.
Xiaotuanzi lay down on the edge of the bed and got out of bed by himself, and ran over after putting on his shoes.
"Tuanzi, put on your clothes first." Su Qingyun shouted.
"It's not cold, I don't want to wear it." Xiaotuanzi shook his head.
There was a ground dragon burning in the house, and the dumpling was wearing a sweater, so it wasn't very cold.
After hugging Tuanzi onto the chair, Lu Changge put a bib on him again.
After serving the dumplings, Su Qingyun also came over.
Lu Changge scooped up a bowl of rice for his daughter-in-law, and asked, "Is Erbao asleep?"
"No, he has changed his diaper and eaten milk, and now Oto is playing with him."
"Daddy, Goudan and the others don't come here just once?" Xiaotuanzi asked suddenly after eating a few mouthfuls.
During the few days on the road, they all ate with Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin.
With so many people eating together, Xiaotuanzi got used to it.
"No, they will eat by themselves." After speaking, Lu Changge picked up a chopstick of green vegetables for the dumpling.
"No picky eaters."
Tuanzi likes to eat meat, but he doesn't dislike vegetables, but he has to be urged to eat.
Otherwise, he can skip vegetables for several meals.
"Oh."
Xiao Tuanzi poked the green vegetables in the bowl with a spoon, looked up at his father, and finally scooped up two green vegetables with his mouth flattened.
The author has something to say:
