After Wen Xiu chased Lee Jun away, she put the eggs she 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 suffered a huge loss this time. It was fine that he had been busy all day, but he still had to go to the village to fetch water. Wen Xiu regretted it the more she thought about how he had to pick a vat of water to fill it up.

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 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 going through the kitchen twice, Wen Xiu 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.

"Shuer, Tongtong, time to eat!"

Wen Xiu secretly made a decision in her heart. She took out the three bowls that she only had at home, scooped the soup into them and shouted as she did so.

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, Tongtong also thinks that it's extremely 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.

Seeing this, Wen Xiu 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! Tongtong, I'll let you have it!"

Wen Xiu couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't expect the two children to be so sensible. Even though their stomachs were growling from hunger, they still hugged her to comfort her.

"Mother is fine, just …" Wen Xiu sniffled and laughed as she wiped away her tears. Then she said, "It's just sand being used to the eyes. 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 tomorrow's living, Wen Xiu ate as much as she could. Although she ate as much as she could, the amount she ate was less than 30% of what she ate 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.

Wen Xiu did not dare to eat too much. She was afraid that if she could not find food, the two children would starve again. Therefore, she only ate 50% of her fill in the end.

After the children had eaten their fill, Wen Xiu sent the siblings back to their rooms for a nap. She didn't dare to let them go outside to play. Firstly, Tongtong's knee wasn't ready yet, secondly, she was afraid that they would meet Lee Jun, and thirdly, she was afraid of people with Lee Family. After two days of experience, she had finally experienced the viciousness of a Lee Family user. She wasn't afraid of herself, but she was worried that the two kids would be at a disadvantage. If she encountered Lee Lu's ferociousness again, she was afraid that Tongtong and Shuer wouldn't only be breaking their skin.

After Wen Xiu cleaned up the kitchen, she boiled the chicken soup in the wok, letting it cool down naturally. 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!"

Just as Wen Xiu closed the kitchen door, Shuer's voice came from behind her.

Wen Xiu turned around and looked down to see her son looking up at her. Did you not eat your fill? "

Hearing that, Shuer immediately shook his head, "No, 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.

Wen Xiu felt gratified. She raised her hand to rub his furry little head and smiled, "Mother has done well. For the time being, I don't have any. But can mother give you a mission? "

"Alright!"

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

Wen Xiu continued, "Mother wanted to fetch water, but was worried that someone else would come and bully you and Tongtong. You were guarding Tongtong at the entrance of the living room, and you were watching the house as well, okay? If someone comes to make trouble, you shout and shout. "The neighbors would come when they heard the sound, or their mother would come back when she heard it.

Wen Xiu originally wanted to fetch water after her child woke up, but the sky was a little gloomy in the afternoon. She was worried that there would be rain again in the afternoon, and since Shuer couldn't sleep, it would be twice as easy.

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.

Wen Xiu went back to the kitchen to look for a wooden bucket. Only then did she remember that she had to go to Wang Family to borrow water from the Liu couple. Thinking of this, she felt a wave of sadness, but she still exhorted Shuer before hurriedly leaving the room.
