My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Cook the meal yourself, and then the three children will eat it.

Gu Lili carefully covered the lard residue in a bowl. The smell was so fragrant. If it attracted mice, tomorrow's breakfast would be ruined.

After cleaning up, Gu Lili asked Gu Erniu to help bring the wheat she bought.

If you want the wheat to germinate, you need to soak it.

You need to wash before soaking. Since it’s not dark yet, you might as well take Erniu to the stream to wash.

Although the stream is not far from home, it saves me the trouble of fetching water back and forth.

Gu Erniu was a little confused. Isn't this wheat used to grind flour?

Could it be that my sister thinks it’s dirty and wants to wash it and then dry it?

However, Gu Lili's subsequent actions made Erniu even more confused.

After washing, my sister did not take the wheat out to dry.

Instead, he asked him to fill the bucket containing wheat.

Gu Erniu really didn't understand what his sister meant, and was afraid that the food would be wasted.

Risking a headshot, he asked tremblingly, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Although he asked carefully, he still looked at Gu Lili as if she was a fool.

Gu Lili couldn't stand such a look and immediately bent her index finger.

I plan to beat him up and then explain.

At this time, Gu Erniu had learned his lesson. Seeing Gu Lili was about to jump up, he quickly protected his head.

Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh when she saw how cute her brother was.

However, while laughing, he flicked Gu Erniu's head, causing him to burst.

"Sister, why did you sneak attack me!" Gu Erniu was a little exasperated.

Although it didn't hurt much when his sister played the piano, Gu Erniu couldn't help but scream.

If there was a mirror in front of Gu Erniu at this moment, he would definitely be able to see that there was a hint of coquettishness on his face.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I must have my reasons for doing this. You will know what I am going to do in about five days. You have to study arithmetic with me in the next few days. I will help you do business in the future."

This process is a bit difficult to explain, but once it’s done, there’s no need to explain it at all, even a few children can understand it.

Gu Erniu helped Gu Lili carry the wheat back home with some doubt.

Why are you so skeptical?

How could he not know what his own sister weighs?

After all, they grew up together. How could he not know whether his sister can do arithmetic?

Still doing business! If I remember correctly, today is also my sister's first time to go to town.

Like him, the farthest journey his sister has ever taken is to her grandmother's house.

But, this is my own sister, how can I not trust her?

Moreover, it seemed that my sister had become different since she woke up yesterday.

She seemed to no longer be as timid as before, and exuded a temperament that she couldn't quite describe.

Although he became fond of beating himself, he still liked having a sister like this more.

After returning home, they put the wheat away. The wheat needs to be soaked for six hours, so Gu Lili asked Gu Huanhuan to boil water.

From then on, the four of them had to wash up before going to bed every day.

She decided to take out the shampoo and give it to the two brothers today.

Although they both rubbed their necks white yesterday, their hair was still too oily.

"Sister, what is this?" Gu Erniu asked curiously, staring at the shampoo.

Gu Lili answered calmly, "I bought this in town today. It's for washing hair. It costs one penny for a big jar."

Anyway, she went to town today, so it's easy to explain.

Afraid that the two brothers wouldn't know how to use it, Gu Lili decided to help them wash it.

Gu Erniu felt a little embarrassed that his sister was the one washing his hair, so he let Gu Sigou wash it first.

Gu Lili washed Gu Sigou four times before the water became clear.

When it was Gu Erniu's turn, he refused to ask Gu Lili for help no matter what.

Gu Lili didn't force him and just let him go.

Gu Lili carefully used a dry cloth to wipe Gu Siniu's hair, and Gu Sigou also looked very happy.

"Sister, after using this shampoo, my head doesn't itch anymore. It feels so comfortable. I feel lighter all over." Gu Sigou said happily.

Gu Lili laughed, "Then I'll wash you often in the future, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Gu Sigou nodded repeatedly.

Gu Huanhuan on the side was a little puzzled. Why did she feel the same way as Si Gou when her sister washed her hair last night?

But, didn’t my sister just buy this thing today?

Moreover, it seemed like my sister's and my hair became smooth yesterday.

After thinking for a long time and still not figuring it out, Gu Huanhuan simply stopped thinking about it.

After they finished washing up, it was almost dark.

Gu Lili was really tired today, so she didn't teach Gu Erniu arithmetic.

After walking such a long way and not sleeping well last night, I lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Because she slept well that night, Gu Lili woke up when Gu Huanhuan moved beside her.

She also got up with the other children.

"Sister, you should sleep a little longer. I will make breakfast." Gu Huanhuan said sensibly.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "No need, I've slept well too, let's cook dinner together."

The two sisters cooked, while the two brothers, one swept the yard and the other chopped firewood.

As soon as Gu Huanhuan entered the kitchen, she prepared to add water into the pot used to refine lard yesterday. This way, the wild vegetable paste with oil and water would definitely be especially fragrant.

Add some of the salt my sister bought yesterday and it will definitely be a delicious dish.

Gu Lili hurried over to stop Gu Huanhuan's action, "Huanhuan, don't add water yet, go and help me wash the shepherd's purse and bring it over. We won't eat wild vegetable porridge today."

To be honest, she had had enough of this wild vegetable porridge.

If she hadn't been hungry and secretly bought a few meat buns from the trading system, she really couldn't stand it.

The same was true for several children. When they were hungry, they kept drinking water to fill their stomachs. She knew all this.

If she wasn't afraid of being treated as a monster by her younger brothers and sisters, she really wanted to take out all the good things in the system and let them have their fill.

So, today, she decided to improve the food and feed the children.

Gu Huanhuan obediently went to wash the vegetables, and Gu Lili also took out a basin, preparing to make some wild vegetable cakes to fill her stomach today.

She scooped out two bowls of coarse noodles, which seemed a little too little, so she scooped out another bowl and kneaded it into dough with water for later use.

Take out yesterday's oil residue, remove half of it, chop it into pieces with a kitchen knife and put it in a bowl.

At this time, Gu Huanhuan had also washed the shepherd's purse.

Gu Lili also chopped the shepherd's purse, added some salt and lard and mixed them together.

Originally, the shepherd's purse should be blanched in water, but I gave up because I was afraid that the children would think I wasted the oil in the pot.

Gu Lili was very deft with her hands and soon, round pancakes were formed in her hands.
