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

Chapter 73 Sister Guihua is pregnant

After steaming for about twenty minutes, the porridge in the pot was cooked. Li Xiaoxiao cut some vegetables and put them into the porridge, stirred it, and added salt and oil after the vegetables were cooked. The simple vegetable porridge was ready.

Bai also took the white buns out of the steamer and put them in the bamboo basket.

Li Xiaoxiao filled four bowls of porridge and brought the buns to the table. "Mom, Fang'er, Linlin, it's time to eat."

Li Xiaoxiao gave Li Fang and Li Linlin a steamed bun each, and the four of them sat opposite each other, eating their lunch in silence. Although the meal was simple, it was filled with the warmth of home.

After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao cleaned up the dishes and prepared to go to the mountains to collect firewood. Now all the crops in the fields have been harvested, and they have to wait until next spring to plant rice, so there is basically no work to do in the fields.

Li Xiaoxiao put on his backpack, took a machete, and went to the mountain.

The sun shines on her, lighting the way forward for her. Her steps are firm and powerful, as if she is striding towards a bright future.

When they reached the mountain, Li Xiaoxiao put down the backpack, found some dry branches, cut them into pieces and put them into the backpack. After the entire backpack was full, Li Xiaoxiao carried the backpack down the mountain.

After returning home, Li Xiaoxiao took out the firewood from the basket and placed it under the eaves. During dinner, it started to drizzle. Bai looked out the window and said, "After this rain, I'm afraid the weather will get colder again."

"Yes, Mom. If the sun is good tomorrow, let's take out our winter cotton clothes to dry in the sun." Li Xiaoxiao replied.

The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao got up early, just as the sun rose. She moved all the cotton-padded clothes and quilts from her home to the yard and hung them out to dry. The warm sunlight shone on the clothes and quilts, giving off a faint fragrance.

After drying the clothes, Bai started to get busy. She took out some scraps of cloth and cotton and prepared to make a few pairs of cotton shoes for her family.

Li Xiaoxiao turned and walked out of the courtyard, heading towards her own shrimp farm. Now that the weather was getting colder, she didn't know if the crayfish could adapt. But thinking that the weather in the north had always been like this, and there had never been a shortage of crayfish in the river, she thought there would be no problem.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Li Xiaoxiao went home to get a bamboo basket, preparing to go to the river to pick more aquatic plants and put them into the shrimp field so that the crayfish in the shrimp field could also survive the winter safely.

Li Xiaoxiao arrived at the river. The water was crystal clear, and water plants swayed gently in the water. She bent down, lowered the bamboo basket into the river, and gently stirred the water with her hands, pushing the water plants into the basket. Soon, the bamboo basket was full of water plants.

She straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and thought to herself, "I hope these aquatic plants can help the crayfish spend a warm winter."

Li Xiaoxiao returned to the shrimp farm with a basket full of water plants and spread them evenly in the pond. A satisfied smile appeared on her face as she watched the crayfish swimming and playing among the water plants.

After a few trips back and forth, the shrimp fields were already full of aquatic plants. After doing all this, Li Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky. The sun was still shining brightly.

After Li Xiaoxiao returned home, she looked at the little rabbits in the yard. Thinking that the weather was getting colder, she called Li Fang and Li Linlin to go out and get some dry straw to build a warm nest for the rabbits.

The three of them returned home with dry straw and began to build a nest.

They first spread the straw on the ground and then tied it firmly with ropes. After a while, a warm nest was built.

The little rabbit was jumping happily in its new nest, and Li Xiaoxiao and her younger brothers and sisters smiled happily as they watched.

"Okay, now the little rabbit has a warm place to sleep." Li Xiaoxiao touched the little rabbit's head.

"Sister is awesome!" Li Fang and Li Linlin said in unison.

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Xiaoxiao, Fang'er, Lin'er, it's time to eat." At this time, Bai's voice came from the kitchen.

"Okay, Mom." Li Xiaoxiao responded and took Li Fang and Li Linlin to the well to wash their hands, then went into the kitchen to help Bai set the table with the dishes.

While eating, Li Xiaoxiao remembered that Li Fang would be seven years old after the new year and it was time for him to start learning, so she asked, "Fang'er, do you want to study?"

"I want to!" Li Fang looked at Li Xiaoxiao with sparkling eyes.

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and patted Li Fang's head. "Then I'll send you to a private school next spring, okay?"

"Okay!!" Li Fang almost jumped up with excitement.

"Thank you, sister! I will study hard!" Li Linlin also looked at Li Xiaoxiao with anticipation.

Mrs. Bai was very pleased to see that the children were so sensible. "Let's eat. It's still a long way to go before next spring."

The family finished their meal happily. Afterwards, Li Xiaoxiao helped Bai wash the dishes, feed the chickens and rabbits, and then followed Bai to Aunt Chen's house.

Bai also put some snacks and eggs she bought in a basket, saying that Sister Guihua was pregnant and she was going to go see her.

The two of them arrived at Aunt Chen's house. Aunt Chen was sewing clothes in the yard. When she saw Bai and the others coming, she hurried over to greet them. "You're here. Come in and sit down."

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Is Guihua feeling well? Let's go see her."

"He's fine. He can eat and sleep well." Aunt Chen said as she led Bai and the others into the house.

Wang Guihua was resting on the bed. When she saw the Bai family coming, she quickly sat up. "Why are you here? And with so many things?"

Bai handed the basket to Guihua, "This is a small token of my appreciation. It will nourish you."

Wang Guihua said gratefully, "Thank you."

After chatting for a while, Bai and Li Xiaoxiao stood up to say goodbye. "Take good care of yourself. If you have any problems, tell me."

"Okay, take care." Guihua said.

After coming out of Aunt Chen's house, Bai and Li Xiaoxiao walked slowly.

"Mom, do you think it hurts to give birth?" Li Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.

Bai smiled and said, "Silly girl, of course it hurts, but it's like this when women give birth."

Li Xiaoxiao felt a little scared after hearing this. "I don't want to have children in the future." Bai patted her shoulder, "You won't feel this way when you get married."

Li Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "I won't get married."

Bai shook her head helplessly, "You kid..."

At night, Li Xiaoxiao lay in bed, recalling the scene of visiting Sister Guihua with her mother during the day, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

She thought about her future, wondering what kind of person she would marry. As she thought about it, Yun Che's handsome face appeared in her mind. Li Xiaoxiao shook her head, telling herself not to think about it anymore.

She turned around and hugged the quilt tightly. Let the future take care of itself... Under the bright moonlight, she slowly fell asleep.

In her dream, she seemed to see a warm home with people she loved and people who loved her. Everything was so beautiful.
