After Wen Xiu chased Li Jun away, she put the eggs she had brought along with her into the kitchen. Then, she carried two buckets of water and rinsed the door clean. However, the water in the tank had already reached the bottom.

He had lost a lot of money this time. It was one thing for him to busy himself for half a day, but he still had to go to the village to fetch some water. He had to pick several vats in order to fill them up, and the more Wen Xiu thought about it, the more regretful she became.

Forget it, let's fill our stomachs first.

When the chicken soup in the kitchen was emitting a strong fragrance, the sun had already risen high in the sky. Smoke rose from the cooking smoke from every household, and the women in the house had already started to busy themselves with cooking.

When Wen Xiu entered the kitchen, she opened the lid and looked at the chicken in the pot. Seeing that the chicken had already been stewed, and that there was a layer of golden oil on the surface of the chicken soup, she was sure that the chicken had been stewed and was busy looking for salt. However, to her surprise, there was not a single grain of salt in this shabby kitchen. How did the original bring the two children here?

One could not eat rice or vegetables, but if one did not eat salt, one would not have the strength to do so. If a person lacked strength, what could he do?

Without salt, what could he do?

After Wen Xiu flipped through the kitchen twice, she could only give up. However, after this meal, what she needed to solve was not only the problem of what the three of them would eat, but also the need to find a way to get some salt back.

"Tree, Tong Tong Tong, time to eat!"

After Wen Xiu secretly made up her mind, she took out the three thick bowls at home. As she scooped soup into the bowls, she shouted out loud.

The two little fellows in the living room had long since lost their patience. When they heard their mother's call, they excitedly responded and ran into the kitchen. When the two siblings saw the golden, oily chicken soup and the chicken in the bowl, they both became excited.

"Mom, it smells so good!"

"Yeah, even the Tong Tong Tong found it fragrant!"

The two children were still young and had not eaten a full meal for a long time, neither had they tasted any meat. There was a chicken stewed in their kitchen, and although the two of them didn't go to the stove to guard, they were already salivating in the living room. At this moment, when he saw the chicken in the bowl, even though it hadn't eaten yet, he couldn't help but be envious.

When Wen Xiu saw this, she felt even more sad. In the 21st century, such a young child should be held in the hands of the whole family, going to kindergarten, eating all kinds of delicious cakes, happily participating in all kinds of interesting classes, happily growing up, and never worrying about eating anything. The child in front of him was only four or five years old, but he tasted the coldest kinship in the world and experienced the hardest life in the world.

She must let these two children grow happily without any worries!

"Mother, why are you crying?"

"Mother, don't cry, the Tong Tong is in your hands!"

Wen Xiu could not help but shed tears. She did not expect the two children to be so sensible. Although their stomachs were growling in hunger, they still hugged her to comfort her.

"Mother is fine, just …" Wenxiu sniffed and laughed as she wiped away her tears. Then, she continued, "It's just sand being used up. It's fine. Come on, you must be hungry. "If you blow on it, be careful not to burn it …"

The two children were really hungry. After looking at their mother for a while, they saw that there were no more tears left. Then they happily sat down on their seats and carefully breathed in the cool air while eating the chicken in the bowl with relish. Although there was no taste, the pure taste of wild chicken was enough to make one's appetite go wild, not to mention a person who was hungry.

For the sake of tomorrow's life, Wenxiu had let go of her stomach to eat. Although she had let go of her belly to eat, the amount of food she ate was less than thirty to forty percent of what she had eaten in her previous life. So much so that after the two bowls of soup and meat, she had only finished three bowls. And inside the big pot, there was an entire half a pot of chicken soup and about half a chicken.

Wenxiu did not dare to eat too much. She was afraid that if she could not find any food, the two children would starve. Therefore, she only ate 50% of it in the end.

After the children had eaten their fill, Wenxiu sent the siblings back to the house for a nap. She didn't dare to let the two of them go outside to play. Tong Tong's knees hadn't recovered yet, and she was also afraid that they would run into Li Jun. She was also afraid that they would run into people from the Lee family. After two days of experience, she could be considered to have experienced the viciousness of the Li family members. She wasn't afraid of herself, but she was worried that her two children would suffer a loss. If she encountered Li Lu's ferociousness again, then the Tong Tong and the tree wouldn't be as bad as just their skin.

After Wen Xiu cleaned up the kitchen, she boiled the chicken soup in the wok and it naturally cooled down. It was similar to the pasteurization method. In this era where there was no refrigerator, it was also able to maintain the original flavor of the chicken soup and prevent it from spoiling after half a day. This was the most common method used by farmers. In addition, if a well is dug at home, it is possible to put something that needs to be frozen in a basket and to hang it in the well, so as to prevent decay or rancidity.

"Mother!"

Right after Wen Xiu had closed the kitchen door, the sound of a tree could be heard from behind her.

Wen Xiu turned around and looked down to see her son looking up at her. She asked with some puzzlement, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Did you not eat your fill? "

When Tree heard this, he immediately shook his head, "No, it's because I slept too much this morning, I can't fall asleep. Mother, I want to help you with your work. "

Li Shu was a sensible child. Although he was only a little bit big, his thoughts were very mature. He would help mother coax his little sister to sleep, he would help mother pick vegetables, and he would also help mother find wild fruits … Other than those things that he couldn't do at his age, he was helping his mother with everything else. As a result, he had gotten used to it and always wanted to help his mother share something.

Wenxiu felt very gratified. She raised her hand to rub his furry little head and smiled. "Mother has done everything well. For the time being, I do not have any." But can mother give you a mission? "

"Alright!"

Li Shu was dismayed at first, but then he nodded excitedly.

Wenxiu continued, "Mother is going to fetch water, but she's worried that someone else will cause trouble and bully you and Tong Tong. You're guarding the Tong Tong at the entrance of the hall, and you're also watching the house, okay? If someone comes to make trouble, you shout and shout. When the neighbors nearby hear this sound, they will rush over. Or maybe, when mother hears this sound, she will rush back as well. "

Wenxiu had originally wanted to wait for her child to wake up before she went to fetch water. However, the sky was a bit overcast in the afternoon. She was worried that there would be rain again in the afternoon. Since the trees could not sleep, it was a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Mu nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. With a bright smile on his face, he ran to the doorstep on his short legs and sat down.

When Wen Xiu went back to the kitchen to look for a wooden bucket, she realized that there was no one there. Only then did she remember that she had always been carrying water from the Wang family to borrow money from Yue Niang and her wife. Thinking of this, she felt a wave of sadness, but she still warned Tree a few times before hurriedly leaving the room.
