After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

Although life in the Li family is a bit difficult, it does not affect Li Xiaoxiao's optimistic and positive life.

That day, Li Xiaoxiao brought Li Fang and Li Linlin home after collecting pig grass. Li Xiaoxiao let the two play nearby while she went into the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and chopped up the three baskets of pig grass. Most of it was used to feed the only pig in the family, and the rest was mixed with rice bran to feed the chickens.

After doing all this, looking at the dirty clothes of the whole family piled up next to the kitchen, Li Xiaoxiao silently picked up the large wooden basin next to her, filled it with clothes, and called Li Fang and Li Linlin to go to the river together.

Li Xiaoxiao let Li Fang and Li Linlin play nearby, and she found a place by the river, took out the soapnut powder she had dried at home, and started washing clothes.

Li Xiaoxiao was washing clothes while observing the surrounding environment. This was her first time here after traveling through time. Perhaps the original owner had come here with the Bai family before, but because of her dementia, Li Xiaoxiao now had no memory of this river.

Li Xiaoxiao discovered that there was a large reed marsh not far from the river.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the reed marsh, wondering if there were duck eggs or other game in it. In her previous life, Li Xiaoxiao grew up in the countryside. She knew that ducks preferred to lay eggs in the wild during spring and summer, so perhaps there were wild ducks in the reed marsh.

So she quickened her movements, scrubbing each piece of clothing carefully with soapnut powder. The sunlight filtered through the clouds, spilling onto the river, creating shimmering waves and illuminating her face, making her look even more resolute and gentle.

Finally, all the clothes were washed. Li Xiaoxiao hung them one by one on branches by the river to dry, then walked towards the reed marsh. Entering the marsh, Li Xiaoxiao noticed many water birds. She walked carefully, afraid to startle them. Suddenly, she saw a nest in front of her, with several eggs lying inside.

"Wow, there really are duck eggs!" Li Xiaoxiao exclaimed happily. She picked up the eggs and counted them. There were actually three. She thought to herself: I can secretly add a dish to my family today.

Li Xiaoxiao returned to the river with the duck eggs, only to find that Li Fang and Li Linlin were nowhere to be seen. She was startled and began to look for them everywhere.

She called out their names anxiously, but got no response. Li Xiaoxiao began to feel scared, worried that they were in danger.

Just when she was at a loss, she heard a burst of laughter coming from not far away. She ran in the direction of the sound and finally found Li Fang and Li Linlin.

They were squatting on the ground, looking at something and laughing so hard that their mouths couldn't stop. Li Xiaoxiao walked closer and found a wounded bird in front of them.

Li Fang said, "Sister, we just saw it injured by the river, so we brought it here." Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, glad that nothing happened to them.

She looked at the bird's wound, then turned to Li Fang and Li Linlin and said, "Sister, I think the wound on the bird's leg isn't serious. Why don't you find a piece of cloth to bandage it and then let it return to the forest?"

Li Fang and Li Linlin both felt sorry that they could not take the bird home, but they felt relieved when they thought that Li Dachun and others might snatch it away if they took it home.

Afterwards, Li Xiaoxiao found a small piece of cloth and carefully wrapped it around the bird's legs. Then, she picked up the bird and released it into the sky.

"Fly, little guy, go find your family." Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Watching the bird fly away, Li Fang and Li Linlin also laughed happily.

"Okay, the bird has flown away, and it's time for us to go home. I'll make you something delicious when we get back." Li Xiaoxiao said happily.

Hearing that there was something delicious, Li Linlin's mouth was watering. She hurriedly asked Li Xiaoxiao: "Sister, what is delicious?"

Li Xiaoxiao pulled out three wild duck eggs from her pocket like a magic trick: "Look, these are what I picked up from the reed marsh. I'll cook them for you when I get home."

Looking at the duck eggs in front of her, which were much larger than chicken eggs, Li Linlin curiously picked one up and examined it again and again: "Wow, sister, what kind of egg is this? Why is it so big?"

Listening to Li Linlin's question, Li Xiaoxiao felt a little helpless. Duck eggs can be seen everywhere in modern times, but in ancient times, especially poor families, basically no one raised ducks because they could not afford them, so it was not surprising that Li Linlin did not recognize duck eggs.

Li Xiaoxiao gently touched Li Linlin's head: "Fang'er, Lin'er, these are wild duck eggs. Although they are wild, they taste just as good as chicken eggs."

Li Fang and Li Linlin were not favored in the Li family and could only eat a few eggs all year round. When they heard that duck eggs were even better than chicken eggs, they immediately swallowed their saliva, but said, "Sister, let's go home and eat with mother."

Looking at the two sensible people in front of her, Li Xiaoxiao felt a little distressed. It is said that children from poor families grow up early, and it seems that it is really true. Isn’t that the case with her younger brother and sister?

So, Li Xiaoxiao put the duck eggs back into his pocket, put away the clothes that were still drying by the river, and took Li Fang and Li Linlin along the path towards home.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, discussing how to eat the duck eggs in the evening. Li Xiaoxiao thought that although life was hard, as long as the family was together safely, it was the greatest happiness.
