After entering the house, she climbed onto the kang and looked at the little Yaya who was not awake under the quilt. She was still sleeping soundly, so she sat by the kang and rested for a while.
Thinking about what to cook to entertain Aunt Dahua and his wife in the evening, she got up and went to the kitchen to see what food was left at home.
I saw some potatoes and sweet potatoes in the big box containing food, and on the table next to the stove, there were some Chinese cabbage brought by Aunt Dahua from home.
She took out a half-kilogram piece of bacon from the space, thinking about frying the bacon and potato slices, cooking sweet potato and corn mush, and frying the cabbage with some minced garlic.
These are the only things she has at home now, and she hopes the captain and the others won't dislike them.
After thinking about what she was going to cook, she checked the time and saw that it was almost time for lunch, so she went to the kitchen and cooked the sweet potato and corn mush first.
She first cleaned the sweet potatoes, cut them into large pieces, filled the pot with half a pot of water, put the sweet potato pieces in and boiled them until raw, and then added the cornmeal.
As soon as the polenta was cooked, she heard Yaya's cry next door. She quickly dried her hands, scooped the polenta out of the pot, then added some water to the pot, and went to see the child.
When he entered the house, he shouted: "Yaya, mom is here, don't cry."
He climbed onto the kang, picked up the child and coaxed him: "Oh~ don't cry, don't cry, isn't mom here?"
When little Yaya saw her mother and was picked up, she slowly stopped crying, but she was still hiccupping. Fang Nuo continued to pat and coax the child well. Just checked her diaper.
When he saw that the diaper was not wet, he knew that she must be hungry, and he didn't see her when he woke up, so he cried so sadly.
She first took out the brewed milk from the space. This was because she was afraid that she would not have time to prepare the milk when she was busy, so she brewed it at ordinary times and put it in the space for emergencies after putting it at a suitable temperature.
Now she couldn't bear to put Yaya down and make milk again, so she gave her this to drink first.
Sure enough, as soon as she took the nipple of the bottle into her mouth, little Yaya started sucking it hard. It was obvious that she was very hungry.
"Eat more slowly. If it's not enough, let's make it again." Fang Nuo also held the bottle higher in his hand, fearing that she would eat too quickly and choke herself.
After feeding Yaya, she found the back fan that she had prepared a long time ago, hugged the baby, and put the little hat on her, put it in the back fan on the kang, and then she squatted down and slowly put it on She leaned on her back and tied the strap around herself.
It was her first time carrying a child on her back, and she was not very skilled yet. She was afraid that it would be uncomfortable to tie the child tightly, and that the child would fall off her back if it was not tied tightly enough.
She carried it and adjusted it several times before she was satisfied. It was also the first time for little Yaya to be carried on her mother's back, and she immediately felt it was very fresh and fun.
After Fang Nuo carried the person on his back, he went back to the kitchen, took out all the vegetables, cut them and fried them later.
After she prepared all the dishes, she found that the little Yaya on her back had fallen asleep. She originally planned to put the child back to sleep in the house, but she was afraid that the fumes from cooking would burn the child.
After leaving the kitchen door, I saw Xu Dahua coming over, carrying a basket of things in his hand.
Seeing her coming out of the kitchen, Xu Dahua said: "You've already started to prepare. I think it's still early. Your captain will be there for a while, so don't worry."
"I have nothing to do, so I just wanted to cut the vegetables and prepare them. Aunt Dahua, why are you here now? You should rest at home more," Fang Nuo said.
"Hey, I don't have anything to do at home, so I thought I would come over and take care of Yaya for you, so that you can cook with peace of mind," Xu Dahua said
"Okay, then come inside and sit down. I'll get you a glass of water." Fang Nuo said, then turned around and pushed open the door of the room, taking Xu Dahua into the house.
"Where's little Yaya, why aren't you on the kang?" Xu Dahua asked when he saw little Yaya who was not on the kang.
"She's carrying it on my back. She woke up just now. I haven't carried it on my back yet, so I let her try it. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep just after carrying it for a while." Fang Nuo said, exposing the little Yaya on her back. Show it to Aunt Dahua.
"Oh, you're really good at carrying baby carriers. Most of us here use a piece of cloth to carry them on our backs. We've never sewn them with such fine details." Only then did Aunt Dahua see the auspicious embroidery on her back. The patterned back fan said.
"I also spent a lot of time making this. Someone in our hometown made this thing when I was a child. I think it is quite practical. Before I had children, I sewed it when I had time. It was made with a lot of rags. , it’s not a very delicate thing,” Fang Nuo said.
In fact, when she was collecting supplies, the owner of a store selling baby clothes recommended it to her.
In their hometown, the mother-in-law's family will give one of these as a gift when a child is born, and some even have things hanging on it, all of which have good meanings for the child.
"It's very beautiful. Why isn't it too detailed? When I look at it, it looks very fine. It looks very nice, but it looks like it requires a lot of needlework and fabric," said Auntie Dahua.
"Auntie, help me hold the baby, and I'll put the baby down. It would be more comfortable to lie down on the kang and sleep," Fang Nuo said.
"good"
Behind the scenes, Aunt Dahua was watching the children in the room, and Fang Nuo went back to the kitchen to fry the vegetables.
Today, the captain, a man, was eating with us, so the food was placed on the square table in the kitchen.
After frying the vegetables and putting them on the table, in case they felt cold while eating, she also put the unburned charcoal in the stove into a broken iron pot and placed it under the table to keep them warm.
After finishing it, she went to the house and called Aunt Dahua, "Auntie, the food over there is ready. Did the captain say when he will get off work?"
"He said he would come at noon, which is too soon. But if it doesn't work, let's eat first. It's such a cold day and we won't wait for him," said Aunt Dahua.
"That's okay, no, let's wait for a while. I put a charcoal pot under the dining table. It should be fine after a while," Fang Nuo said.
Before the two of them could continue talking, the team leader Wang Chengjian came. After shouting twice in the yard, they walked out of the house.
"Uncle Captain is here. Come and sit in the room. Do you want to wash your hands? I'll get you hot water." Fang Nuo greeted the person and asked after entering the kitchen.
"I need to wash it. Today I went to the field to plant potatoes with the villagers. I need to put some fertilizer on it. My hands are a little dirty," the captain said.
"Then I'll get you some hot water. You sit down first." Fang Nuo said, going out to find his own washbasin, and scooping some hot water into the pot before carrying it to the captain to wash.
Xu Dahua also washed his hands. After washing them first, he said to Fang Nuo on the side: "Xiao Nuo, please stop standing. We are all acquaintances. Come over and sit and wait."
"Okay, I'll pour the water and I'll be there. Aunt Dahua, you sit down first," Fang Nuo replied.
After the captain washed his hands, he went to pour the water, then came back and sat down at the dining table, and the three of them began to eat.
Seeing that Fang Nuo had fried the meat, the captain said, "Why don't you keep the meat for yourself and eat it? Why do you take it out for us to eat?"
"Who is eating here? It's rare for you and aunt to have a meal at my house. It's hard for me to treat you if you don't have good food," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
