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

By the time Gu Erniu came back after changing his clothes, the water had boiled.

Gu Lili pretended to look for something while she went into the space and bought some cold medicine, poured it into a bowl, and each of the four of them made a bowl of it.

The reason why I gave it to Gu Sigou was because he was originally wearing thin clothes and today he was standing in the wind waiting for his brother and sister, so he already had two big snot hanging from his nose.

"Come on, drink this quickly to warm yourself up." Gu Lili made the medicine and handed it to the other three.

The three siblings thought it was maltose water and drank it without thinking.

"Sister, today's sugar water is not as sweet as yesterday's." Gu Sigou said after sniffing his nose.

Gu Lili couldn't bear to look at it. It seemed that she had to find a suitable opportunity to buy some paper, otherwise it would be really inconvenient.

"Maybe I put too little, so it's not very sweet. Drink it quickly, and you'll feel warm after drinking it." Gu Lili said as she drank.

Gu Lili was about to finish drinking as she blew on the tea, and her body finally felt much warmer.

She originally wanted to wash her hair, but the road outside was frozen and it was troublesome to go out to get water, so she and her siblings simply gathered around the stove to warm themselves.

Gu Lili looked outside and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

There were icicles hanging from the eaves of their house. Gu Lili was a little worried that if this continued, their little house might be crushed.

However, there was no solution at the moment and they could only pray silently in their hearts that their little house would hold up.

After her body was almost warm, Gu Lili prepared to cook today's meal.

It was too cold that day. Gu Lili thought about it and looked at the shepherd's purse she had at home, so she decided to make dumplings.

Gu Lili took out some of the leftover meat from yesterday and asked Gu Erniu to chop it into minced meat while she went back into the house to get the noodles.

If you use that coarse flour to make dumplings, the taste will definitely not be as good as white flour.

Gu Lili thought about it and bought ten kilograms of flour and put it in the backpack. Fortunately, Gu Erniu had not tidied the basket yet, otherwise it would be hard to say where the flour came from.

Gu Lili brought the noodles to the kitchen and started adding water and kneading the noodles.

"Wow, sister, did you buy noodles today? This noodles is so white and looks delicious!" Gu Sigou licked his tongue and said.

They had seen white flour in the second branch of the Gu family before, but it was not their turn to eat it. They just stood aside and watched the second branch of the Gu family eat.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Yes, your second brother and I sold everything today, so we bought some delicious food for you. From now on, we will have a place to buy candy in our house, and you can eat as much as you want and you will never go hungry again."

Gu Sigou nodded heavily, leaning over the table and watching Gu Lili kneading the dough.

After Gu Lili kneaded the dough, she put it aside and started washing and blanching the vegetables.

The blanched vegetables were chopped up and mixed with the meat filling prepared by Gu Erniu, and then they started cutting the dough and rolling it into bread dumplings.

Seeing the three people staring at her, Gu Lili smiled and said, "Go wash your hands quickly. I'll teach you how to make dumplings."

The three of them had been waiting for a few words for a long time. They watched the dough in Gu Lili's hands turn into a chubby little crescent. They had been itching to give it a try.

Gu Lili was wrapping the dumplings while teaching the three of them.

The three of them were a little at a loss at first, but slowly, they were able to wrap it quite well.

There is strength in numbers, and soon the dumplings were wrapped.

Gu Lili saw the water in the pot boiling, so she told the three of them to make dumplings together.

The four of us were having so much fun, taking turns to play, that we seemed to have forgotten that the freezing rain was still falling outside.

The dumplings floated up, and Gu Lili added some cold water into them.

Because they are meat dumplings, they need to be cooked a little longer.

"Keep an eye on the pot, I'll go get some more food!" Gu Lili said, handing the spatula to Gu Erniu. "Once the water boils, we can serve it."

Gu Lili really missed the spicy wontons from Sichuan and Chongqing. It would be wonderful to have a bowl of it in such a cold day.

Gu Lili returned to the house and bought a can of spicy chili oil from the mall.

When I took it back, the dumplings had just been served.

The retro-style pottery jar that Gu Lili specially selected did not arouse the suspicion of the three people.

When the dumplings were served on the table, Gu Lili couldn't wait to pick some with chopsticks and put them into the bowl.

Stir it and the soup will turn red in an instant.

"Sister, is this also the delicious food you bought today?" asked Gu Ergou.

Why does it feel like my sister didn’t go for long, but she bought so many things?

Gu Lili said calmly, "I saw an old lady selling it on the roadside. She said it's cold and it's warm to eat in soup, but it's spicy."

"Spicy? Is that Vietnamese pepper? It doesn't look like it." Gu Erniu said.

They also add spicy ingredients to their dishes, such as chili peppers, as seasoning.

Gu Lili knew what the Vietnamese pepper he was talking about was, it was Cornus officinalis.

Although it is also called pepper and is also red, it is very different from chili pepper.

Gu Lili scratched her head and said, "The lady selling things said that this is hot pepper, not Vietnamese pepper. I smelled it and it smelled good, so I bought it to try. Let's eat quickly, or the dumplings will get cold."

Upon hearing this, Gu Erniu stopped talking and instead followed Gu Lili's example by picking up some chili oil and putting it in his own bowl.

After stirring it evenly, he picked one up and ate it. As soon as it entered his mouth, the spicy and numbing feeling spread through the taste buds to his brain, and soon his nose began to sweat.

"Siha...it's so delicious, sister. What the old lady said was right. It really warms me up. I'm starting to sweat!" Gu Erniu was drooling over the spicy food, but it still didn't stop him from eating.

Gu Huanhuan said, "Let me try it too!"

"Third sister, give me some too. It smells so good!" Gu Sigou was also eager to try.

Gu Lili said lovingly, "Put less in it, or it will make your stomach hurt later."

Upon hearing this, Gu Huanhuan picked up a little from each person and put it in a bowl. After mixing it evenly, she took a bite and found it was indeed delicious.

The four of them finished their dumplings happily. Gu Lili looked outside and saw that the rain had eased, so she called Erniu to return the raincoat to Aunt Zhang's house.

After giving the dishes to Gu Huanhuan to wash, Gu Lili went out to check out the freezing rain.

Gu Lili walked to the eaves and saw that the accumulated water in the basin under the eaves had turned into ice.

Gu Lili thought of the wheat in the field and her heart couldn't help but writhe.

If all the crops in the fields are frozen, food will probably be expensive in the summer.

The grain yield in ancient times was not high and could not withstand such a natural disaster.

“Sister, wow wow wow… come and take a look, something happened.”

Just as Gu Lili was thinking, she heard Gu Sigou crying from inside the house.
