The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

Chapter 16: 1 The jar is not full, half jar is shaking

The two of them left the house one after the other.

Qiao Laoer took a fish with great insight and went to the side to process it.

Yu Yaozu went out to the village and bought two pieces of tofu.

Qiao Laosan was not a lazy person. After it warmed up for a while, he went to the east room to clean up and move the adobe bricks into the east room.

He was panting with exhaustion and hot air coming out of his mouth, but that silly guy still had time to chat and laugh with Qiao Laoer.

After a while, Yu Yaozu took the tofu and went into the kitchen to cook.

Yu Baibai had never seen a grandfather who talked more than this one. From the moment she was carried to the west room, her grandfather began to teach Yu Baibai to call him grandpa.

Yu Baibai, whose language development is incomplete, said: Grandpa, you have worked hard, I am afraid I have let you down.

(???3??)

The fish head soup made by Yu's father was so successful that it attracted the family of old lady Zhang next door. The greedy old man Zhang couldn't control his mouth opening and closing while eating the pancake, and his saliva kept being secreted.

The sun is at its zenith and the food smells delicious.

Dad Yu knocked on Mrs. Zhang's door carrying a pot of stewed fish.

"Aunt, my family doesn't have anything special to offer. My father-in-law and I caught some fish, and now that they're cooked, I've sent you some, still warm, to make a dish for Brother Zhang."

Mrs. Zhang didn't refuse and just said, "Okay! Yaozu is a sensible person, and I'm not pretentious. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know. I will definitely help you if I can."

After saying that, he waved behind him: "Boss, go get a basin."

After taking the basin and saying goodbye, Yu Yaozu went home.

When Yu Yaozu returned home, Qiao's father had already asked his sons to put the food on the kang table, which was a new kang table that Qiao's father had taken the time to build.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, my butt was warm and not cold at all.

Qiao Laosan was not stingy with his praise: "Wow! This fish soup is so delicious! Brother-in-law, you are really amazing!"

"Drink more if you like it! Drink some fish soup in winter to warm your body!" Yu's father smiled. There is nothing more joyful than having his cooking skills recognized by others.

Father Qiao took a sip of the soup and nodded: "Well, son-in-law, this soup is well made! It doesn't smell fishy at all."

"Suck, suck, suck."

The sound, the aroma, and the praise made Yu Baibai extremely greedy. She really wanted to eat hot fish and drink delicious fish soup...

After a meal, everyone in the family was sweating and didn't dare to go out for fear of catching a cold.

People in this era were afraid to get sick, because even a small cold could kill them, not to mention that they couldn't afford to get sick if they wanted to kill someone.

Minor illnesses can be endured, but major illnesses will kill you.

This is the life of a poor family, sad and helpless.

Even in modern times, many people cannot afford medical treatment, let alone here with poor medical conditions.

If there is no entertainment, just keep the children entertained or sleep.

Mr. Qiao and his friends really wanted to play with the children, but when they thought about having to build the kang soon, they chose to take a nap.

Only Yu's father was feeding Yu Baibai milk, while Yu's mother was sewing a rabbit fur scarf.

Yu Ma's craftsmanship is just average, limited to sewing simple things. It is simply impossible for her to embroider flowers. You can ask a listed CEO to cook, but not to embroider, mainly because it takes too long, which is a waste of time for Yu Ma.

Every time Yu's father visits Yu's mother, Yu's mother would say to Yu's father: Do you know how much money I can earn in one minute?

If Yu Ma asks other Yu Dads, they may not know, but if you ask how much money they earn, Yu Dad can tell you with his eyes closed!

The two of them often bickered with each other, but unexpectedly, in this ancient time, they were surprisingly peaceful.

After having the basic skills of the first kang, the few of them became very skilled and their speed was also faster.

It took more than an hour, and the kang that had been burning for three days was ready. It was warmer and more exquisite than the one in the west room.

The east room is more spacious than the west room. Yu's father decided to divide it into two rooms in the middle, and separated a small bathroom inside so that Yu's mother would not have to be restricted in the room when she wanted to wash up.

Yu's dad said it in a nice way: Just make do with it for now, and when I have enough money, I'll give you the whole toilet!

Yu Ma hit him and said: With your ability, you can go to heaven.

Time flies, and Yu Baibai has grown up a little.

Yu Baibai's full moon banquet was very quiet. There were only Qiao's father and son and the Zhang family next door. Yu's father also invited the clan leader and the village chief, and Yu's eldest sister-in-law also came.

Although there were only two tables and they were sparsely populated, the food on the table was very rich and both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

After the full moon banquet, the Qiao family father and son said goodbye and returned home, and the Yu family's old house became deserted again.

Looking around, the tattered tables and chairs have all become brand new, polished so smooth that they are not prickly at all.

The cracked wall was repaired and even reinforced, and a row of cacti were planted on the courtyard wall.

It was brought by Qiao Laosan through a friend, along with a dairy sheep, which served as food for Yu Baibai.

The dairy sheep had just given birth and was now in the milk production period. The owner had only raised it for a little over a year and would not have sold it if he had not urgently needed money.

The most important thing was that Qiao Laosan gave a lot, and his friend was related to the owner's family. When he heard that it was for feeding the baby, he sold it without thinking.

Yu's father wanted to give him money, but Qiao Laosan refused to take it.

There was no choice, so Yu's father had to put it away, asked Yu Baibai for a bottle of wine, and quietly gave it to Qiao Lao San.

During this month, Yu's father learned how to weave mats, went up the mountain to learn how to hunt and set traps, and learned carpentry... He learned a little bit of everything. In short, whatever Father Qiao did, Yu's father would follow behind and learn.

In the words of Mr. Qiao, if the jar is not full, it will be too full.

The little dairy sheep is treated as a treasure by Yu's father. Since the kitchen in the west room was renovated, the old kitchen has been unused. However, it has walls and a roof, which can shelter from wind and rain, and is much better than ordinary animal sheds.

Yu's father fed it grass every day, and the little dairy sheep settled down in the old kitchen.

The houses they live in now all have a small door. Whether it is the east room or the west room, all of them go out through the main room, and the door is inside the house to avoid being cold.

Even if you close the door to the main room, you can go directly from the east room to the kitchen. When the windows are opened in summer, the breeze will definitely be cool.

This is also thanks to Yu's father's quick thinking.

Every noon now, Qiaomu would carry Yu Baibai to the door to bask in the sun. It was as if Aunt Zhang next door had installed a locator on Qiaomu. As long as Qiaomu took the child out, she would have to come out of the house within a minute.

Look, he’s been caught!

"Oh~ dear~ come here, let grandma hold you! How come you, little darling, are so adorable?" Old lady Zhang's smiling face looked like a chrysanthemum.

Qiao Mu had a smile on his face. His daughter was so adorable!
