I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Lin's scream frightened Ji Xiaobei so much that he staggered and the stool under his feet broke into pieces with a crack.

Xiaoju suddenly hugged her elder sister's thighs, and Ji Xiaobei's body pressed heavily on Xiaoju.

"Oh... Mom..." Ji Xiaobei roared and climbed up from Xiaoju.

Her 150-pound body pressed Xiaoju so hard that she rolled her eyes. She could only breathe in but not out!

"Oh, Xiaoju, what's wrong with you?" When Lin saw this, she threw herself on Xiaoju and started crying.

"Ju, you can't die. We haven't eaten the pheasant yet, Ju..." Lin cried so hard that she couldn't be pulled up.

Ji Xiaobei could only lift Lin up, put her aside, and perform chest compressions on Xiaoju to rescue her, which she had been specially trained in at the kindergarten.

She silently recited in her mind: Cross your hands and press your chest regularly, gently at first...

After pressing twice, Xiaoju finally revealed her dark eyeballs and let out a long breath.

Lin helped her up and gently rubbed her back for a long time before Xiaoju stood up from the ground.

He dusted himself off and said, "Mom, can we eat the pheasant?"

"Yes, you can eat it. Let's make it now..." Seeing that Xiaoju was fine, Lin cried with joy!

"Mom, don't cry. I'm fine now. I'm going to cook!" Xiaoju winked at Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei: This girl is just pretending. I have lost weight myself, how could I possibly crush her to death!

When frying the pheasant, Xiaoju deliberately added an extra spoonful of vegetable oil, and Lin turned a blind eye to it. For the sake of a little food, no one should risk their life.

Ji Xiaobei taught Xiaoju how to stew pheasant and potatoes with rice.

Cook various beans in a pot until half cooked, mix brown rice and white rice in a pot and cook until the rice core is soft, then take it out.

In another pot, stir-fry the pheasant pieces, add the dried radish, then add water and bring to a boil, then add the cooked beans and rice.

Bring to a simmer over low heat until the soup in the pot is almost cooked, then simmer for a quarter of an hour and the pheasant and dried radish rice is ready.

Steam was rising from the pot and the fragrance was coming out of the kitchen. People passing by her house stretched their necks to look inside.

When you open the pot, you will see the rice soaked in pheasant soup. The fragrance of pheasant, radish and beans and rice mixed together is so tempting.

Ji Xiaobei was really greedy. He stood behind Xiaoju with his bowl in his hand, staring at the rice in the pot and swallowing his saliva.

Xiaoju laughed and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You're even greedier than me lately!"

"Ju, don't talk for now. Give me a bowl of rice. I was frightened just now and my stomach is beating wildly." Ji Xiaobei handed the bowl to Xiaoju with trembling hands.

Xiaoju saw that her sister looked unhappy, so she asked while serving the rice, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm just hungry!"

Xiaoju handed a full bowl of pheasant rice to Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei sat on the doorstep, snoring and eating without even raising his head.

Xiaoju: Why do you look like you haven’t eaten for eight days? You ate a lot in the morning!

Maybe he fell off the stool and got scared!

Is the elder sister so timid?

Ji Xiaobei ate two bowls of rice and a bowl of pheasant and radish before he recovered.

TND I was so starving that I almost fainted from hunger. This hunger came so suddenly, took advantage of the least preparedness, and was so overwhelming.

"Sister, I'm going to deliver the meal!" Xiaoju put on the backpack and prepared to go out.

"Oh my god, I'm full!" Ji Xiaobei took the backpack from Xiaoju and walked out of the house briskly.

She walked on the road, attracting the attention of people passing by.

"I heard that they fed the workers very well yesterday. I wonder what they're going to eat today..."

"I can smell the aroma. It smells so good. It must be the aroma of meat!"

……

Ji Xiaobei walked along the way, and the old women talked all the way.

When they arrived at the wasteland, Ji Xiaobei put the food behind a pile of firewood, and then called Uncle Shugen and the others to come and eat.

The old women and children following behind were too embarrassed to go behind the firewood pile to look, so they just fanned the air at their noses and smelled the fragrance from a distance.

The men came running over, and at first I could hear people talking, but later I couldn't hear anything. I could only see them burying their heads in the big bowls, and getting another bowl after they finished eating.

Today's meal is mixed bean rice. There is not much white rice, which is not a luxury. The pheasant is hunted from the mountain, and every family has dried radish.

Today's food is not too extravagant, and the better-off families in the village also eat like this.

Ji Xiaobei didn't dare to cook it too well for fear of causing trouble. Yesterday's meal disturbed the whole village, and they talked about it for a whole day.

She plans to keep a low profile in the future and cook a pot every day, which is fast and delicious.

After dinner, she went to see Ji Decai and Ma Debiao. The young couple were eating grass with their heads down, and they bumped their heads with each other from time to time, looking quite intimate.

Ji Xiaobei had only known Ma Debiao for two or three days and didn't know him well enough. However, he was still worried that Ji Decai was blinded by love and might elope with Ma Debiao.

She has already told Shitou and Haixia to pay more attention to them.

"Malacca, Malacca..." Ji Xiaobei shouted.

Everyone looked at Ji Xiaobei, then looked around, not knowing who he was calling.

Haixia put down his bowl and looked at Ji Xiaobei blankly.

Suddenly, he remembered, isn’t Malacca himself?

"Hey, hey, Dong, cousin..." Malacca ran quickly to Ji Xiaobei.

"Don't do it anymore. There are other things to do at home. I'll give it to you!" Ji Xiaobei glanced at his scarred hands.

Alas! He is just a weak scholar, yet he is asked to do such rough work. Who can be so shameless?

"Okay! Okay, cousin!" Ma Haixia's delicate and fair face was tanned red by the sun, and he agreed.

"Go back and pick the blisters on the palm of your hand. Burn the needle with fire to disinfect it!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"It's okay, I can do it!" Haixia didn't know what he did wrong, and saw that Ji Xiaobei's face didn't look good.

"You can read some books in the future, so that Xiaohua won't have to tell others that her husband has taken the exam for the title of scholar several times, and he might take it again next year. Why would a weak scholar like you go and open up wasteland?"

Ji Xiaobei kept talking along the way.

Ma Haixia was confused: Is this what I want? You said you would give me 20 cents, and I was a little polite, but you didn't give it to me!

snort!

"Yes, my cousin is right. I still need to study and not forget my duty. I am a scholar!"

Ma Haixia didn't dare to object at all and kept saying, "Yes, my cousin is right."

When they got home, Ming'er and Xiaoju got together to think about embroidering a purse.

Ji Xiaobei also leaned over to look at the purse that Ming'er had embroidered.

"Ming'er, you embroider so well. Did you learn it in the embroidery room?" Ji Xiaobei asked curiously.

Ming'er blushed and said embarrassedly: "I haven't learned it before. I just figured it out at home!"

Ji Xiaobei touched Ming'er's head and said, "This child is really clever. She doesn't take after your mother at all. Your mother is so clumsy, but she gave birth to such a clever girl!"
