Changping Village.

Sun's Gastrodia elata got up at dawn.

At this time, Yang Huazhong, Xiaohua and Feng'er in the opposite room were still sleeping.

As the housewife of the family, it was Sun's duty to take care of the family and her pregnant daughter-in-law, so after washing herself, she quietly went to the backyard kitchen.

First wash the rice clean, put it in a large pot and add water, then pull out two sweet potatoes from the rice pile in the warehouse, peel them, wash them and cut them into hob pieces, put them in the pot and cook sweet potato porridge together.

The firewood under the stove was hard wood. The advantage of hard wood is that it can be burned for a long time without having to be taken care of. So taking advantage of this moment, Mrs. Sun opened the door latch of the chicken coop in the backyard and put the chickens inside that had been stagnant all night.

Release it.

The rooster flapped its wings and ran wildly across the yard, clucking.

As soon as the hens came out, they started to look for food all over the ground and cooed.

The two big white geese stretched out their necks, waddled after Ms. Sun and squawked. From time to time, they used their red and flat beaks to peck at Ms. Sun's trouser legs. They were looking for her to eat!

One of the two big black pigs in the pigsty opposite was still sleeping lazily. The other one heard the noise outside and pressed its nose hard against the wooden fence of the pigsty, grunting.

Every morning when Ms. Sun gets up, there is such a lively scene in the backyard. She has been used to it for decades.

In the past, I raised pigs and chickens for Lao Yang's family as a errand. If I couldn't complete the errand, I would be scolded and starved.

Nowadays, all these poultry and livestock are raised for her own family, and Mrs. Sun feels that her whole body is full of cleanliness.

Especially when I think about ten of these chickens that were newly hatched this year. They haven't started laying eggs yet, but they will soon.

When the time comes, Mrs. Sun will save these eggs carefully. Except for what she gives Feng'er to eat every day, she will keep the rest. When the time comes, Hua Duo'er will give birth to a baby and pass the confinement period, and she will need all the eggs.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun grabbed the gourd scoop next to her and went into the house, scooped out a large scoop of chicken food and sprinkled it on the ground in the yard to feed the chickens.

These chicken feeds contain husked rice, crushed corn kernels, and wheat bran.

Get up in the morning and feed the chickens a meal of whole grains. At night, chop up those unwanted vegetable leaves, peeled potatoes and sweet potato skins, mix them with some rice, and feed them again.

As for the long days during the day, I just opened the door to the backyard and let them play in the fields outside and find bugs to eat in the grass.

I just hope that they will grow up quickly and become fat and strong.

Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door in the front yard.

Who came so early this morning?

Moreover, hearing the knock on the door was quite urgent. Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun quickly put down the gourd and ladle and ran to the front yard and opened the yard door.

Standing outside the door is his daughter Xiaoduo.

Behind Xiaoduo stood his son-in-law Xiang Shengnan. Shengnan was holding a large bundle in each hand.

"Duo'er, what are you..."

"Mom, I plan to come back and stay for a while. Here, I brought two packages of clothes, shoes and socks!"

Xiaoduo came forward and took Sun's arm affectionately.

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she was naturally so surprised that she nodded repeatedly, and quickly called her daughter and son-in-law to come to the main room.

"Your father and Hua'er haven't gotten up yet. Why did you come here so early? You haven't had breakfast yet?"

In the main room, Mrs. Sun wanted to make tea for her daughter and son-in-law, but she found that the water in the earthen pot was overnight and only had a little bit of residual warmth, while the water in the kitchen had not yet boiled.

"Look at me, this water hasn't even boiled yet..."

Sun felt a little apologetic.

Xiaoduo said hurriedly: "Mom, we are not thirsty this morning. Let me help you cook breakfast. Shengnan sent me here specially, and he has to rush back!"

Hearing this, Xiang Shengnan, who was putting down his baggage over there, hurriedly said to Sun: "Duo'er is right, mother-in-law, then I'll go back first, and I'll come see Duo'er in two days."

Mrs. Sun let go of Xiaoduo's hand and quickly came to Xiang Shengnan: "Shall we leave after breakfast?"

Xiang Shengnan shook his head: "Thank you, mother-in-law. No, I'll go back and eat with my uncle."

Xiaoduo also persuaded Sun to let go, and Sun had no choice but to leave with Xiang Shengnan.

Here, the two women put the bundles and rolls in the house where Xiaoduo lived before she got married, and then they went to the kitchen to cook breakfast together.

"Duo'er, tell me honestly, why did you come back early this time? Didn't you agree that your father would pick you up when Jin Nan was in the first seven?"

Over at the pot, Mrs. Sun was kneading dough and asked Xiaoduo who was sitting at the mouth of the stove.

Hearing Jin Nan's name, Xiaoduo's hand grabbing the firewood trembled.

"Mom, can you please not mention Shengnan's eldest brother's name? I've been tortured to the point of going crazy these past two days. I can't tell whether I'm sleeping or awake!"

Hearing Xiaoduo's words, Mrs. Sun stopped what she was doing and looked up at Xiaoduo again. She found that her daughter's face was very pale, her cheeks were obviously thinner, and there were thick dark circles under her eyes.

"Duo'er, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for two days, and your energy has dropped a lot! Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Xiaoduo originally planned to just go home and stay there, avoiding that place, but when he heard Mrs. Sun asking, Xiaoduo suddenly felt a sore nose and thought about the two strange dreams he had had in the past two days.

I told you.

"Mom, especially the last dream, I woke up in the dream, but I was still in a dream, a dream within a dream. In the end, I didn't know whether I really woke up or whether I was still in a dream.

Here, I’m almost going crazy!”

After hearing what Xiaoduo said, Mrs. Sun didn't even bother rubbing her face anymore, and hurriedly came to the stove and squatted down.

"Raise your head and let me take a good look at it," the woman said.

Although Xiaoduo didn't understand what Sun was looking at, she still raised her face obediently.

Mrs. Sun looked at Xiaoduo's face carefully and murmured: "The complexion is really bad. There is obviously no dirt on the forehead, but the firelight imprinted on the stove seems to be something black."

Xiaoduo shuddered: "Isn't that just the Yintang turning black? Mom, don't scare me, I'm cowardly!"

Mrs. Sun, however, had a serious look on her face, "In this case, you sleep with me at night, move the screen in Da'an's house and place it in front of the bed, just blocking the window, and then let your father set up a screen under the window on the other side of the screen.

Shop, we are all with you, it should be fine."

Xiaoduo nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"

Seeing Xiaoduo's haggard look, Mrs. Sun felt heartbroken. She habitually wanted to reach out and touch Xiaoduo's head, but when she saw the pimples on her fingers, she took her hand back.

Soon, everyone else in the family got up. Xiaohua and Feng'er were very happy to see Xiaoduo back. They went to the front room to talk.

Yang Huazhong came to the backyard kitchen, and Mrs. Sun called him over.

"Go and move the screen in Da'an's house later and put it in front of Duo'er's bed. You can set up a shop under the window tonight..."

Mrs. Sun pinched the kneaded dough into small pieces, picked up a rolling pin and rolled it into light, thin and transparent wonton wrappers, then used chopsticks to scoop out some of the pre-mixed meat filling and put it on the wonton wrappers.
