Crossing the Unknown Country

Su He took out the grass and remembered that she had seen fans made with wet grass online. They were the same after drying. She wiped some of the grass with a rag, and then began to weave small round mats on their flat surfaces. If possible, she could weave straw mats. She looked at the straw mat on her kang. It was too rough. She could just tie a few ropes in the middle and it would be done. She might as well weave a normal one. This skill was not practiced in vain. Knitting is a skill that can be mastered in many ways. If you are careful, there will be no problem.

After more than an hour, Su He had woven a round straw mat with tight patterns. He looked at it from left to right and was very satisfied. Then he woven a square one. He became more and more skilled in weaving throughout the afternoon. If the straw had not run out, he would have made more than three. There were diamond-shaped, square-shaped, and rectangular-shaped mats, three mats with three different patterns. After weaving, he found a sunny place to dry the wild vegetables and saved them for winter. He dried the herbs that could be used as medicine and took them to the medicine shop. If he had time, he would find a way to ask them about the simple preparation methods, otherwise his work would be in vain if he could not sell them.

Then she piled up the firewood that her eldest brother brought back and cleaned up the yard. She began to add water to the pot and prepare to cook porridge. She was too small and had to carry a stool to reach the stove. She carefully scooped water from the jar into the pot, took a handful of hay to start the fire, added firewood to boil water, and worked hard to cook the rice. Su He was very fortunate that her career as a host helped her a lot, otherwise she would not have been able to do these things. Just mix some whole grain flour, spread a little oil on the edge of the pot and stick the pancakes on it. This way the pancakes are not bad. Pick some leaves from the field and put them in the pot. If you see eggs in the chicken coop, pick them up directly, crack one into a bowl, break it and sprinkle it into the porridge. This way it is more or less nutritious.

After finishing everything, she sat on a stool against the wall to rest. While resting, she looked at the gate, waiting for her parents and brother to come home. This little body is too weak, and she needs to exercise more and grow up quickly. When she was about to fall asleep, she heard her parents talking outside, and hurried to the gate to wait. When she saw her mother pushing the door in, she hurried to help take some of the lighter things, and she couldn't carry the heavy things herself.

Dad and Mom put down their things, washed their hands and faces, and used a thorn stick to shake off the dust on their bodies. Mom went into the kitchen and saw that the meal was ready. It was quite good. Although she used only one egg, she was still happy. She looked at her little girl with surprise, hugged her and kissed her several times. She was so capable.

Her mother hugged Su He and said with a smile: "My daughter Niuniu is so capable. She can already cook at such a young age. This sick child has really grown up. This is incredible. She is the only one in the village who is so capable!"

Her father and brother were looking at the mats she, Su He, had woven. They were neat and beautiful. None of them had the skill, so they were each admiring one.

They also said: "How come Niuniu has such a beautiful braid? No one taught her how to braid it."

The eldest brother: "Dad and mom, Niuniu has grown up and should be called Su He. My sister is really amazing."

The second brother said: "I want to learn it too. I will sell it in town after I finish weaving it."

Su He looked at his second brother with approval. He thought the same as he did, that is, to sell everything that could be sold for money.

Her mother stretched her neck to take a look, and was surprised to see her daughter. After she got sick this time, her child was obviously different. Her little skills were emerging one after another, which was too surprising. However, their family had a lot of wealth in the past. They heard from their father-in-law that there were child prodigies in the world. Those children were just like adults since they were young. They learned things very quickly and often had unique ideas. So Su He was so different. They all thought that their child became a smart child after having a fever. As for whether he was a child prodigy, they didn't know. But they could see that their Su He was smarter than other children of the same age in the village.
