Aunt Dahua came back not long after delivering the meal. Seeing her moving tiles, she also put down her basket and helped move them together.
In this way, because of their participation, the rest of the roof was laid with tiles in the afternoon. Seeing that it was still a while before dark, Fang Nuo readily paid several people their wages, and two of them went back early. .
Aunt Dahua, mother and son were left behind. Fang Nuo went into the house and looked inside. He was afraid that something might fall from the roof and fall into his mouth or eyes while he was lying down, so he asked Wang Junyu to help him with the shield he had just used. The gray plastic sheet is nailed to the wall, which can be regarded as a simple suspended ceiling.
Aunt Dahua helped look after the child. She also helped pull out the plastic sheet in the room, and Wang Junyu fixed it with nails.
The two of them worked for almost an hour before nailing the plastic sheet. Because they were better at pulling ropes and had more nails, the plastic sheet looked smooth.
She originally wanted to keep the two of them at home for dinner in the evening, but Aunt Dahua had to go back anyway, so she had no choice but to go to the backyard and pick a watermelon as a thank you gift.
After sending the two of them off, she closed the courtyard door, plugged in the wood chips, and took Yaya into the house and into the space.
I fed Yaya some prepared milk first, and she fell asleep again after a while.
Fang Nuo left her sleeping in the space. She went out, fetched water, wiped the kang, cabinets, and tables in the room, and cleaned the floor. Then she took out the bedding and spread it on the kang, and then burned the kang. , prepare to burn it all night.
After finishing her work, it was already dark outside the house, and she was tired from the day, so she didn't clean up the kitchen anymore, preparing to do it tomorrow, so she turned off the lights and entered the space.
I had a self-heating hot pot with self-heating rice for dinner in the space. After eating, I took a shower and went to bed.
The next day she got up early, took Yaya out of the room, put her on the kang and continued to sleep, while she went to clean the kitchen.
As soon as she finished everything, she went to open the courtyard door and sweep the yard. She also shoveled the ashes from yesterday's burning to the vegetable patch in the backyard and piled them up.
After doing this, I saw Aunt Dahua coming with a basket. She greeted people into the house and said, "Auntie, why did you come here so early today?"
"Don't your family still need to build a firewood shed? The three of them went to harvest the wood and brought the wood over. I thought I had nothing to do at home in the morning, so I came over first," Aunt Dahua said
Hearing what she said, Fang Nuo remembered that she still hadn't built a firewood shed. She was too tired yesterday, so she forgot about it.
"Oh, aunt, please go inside and sit down for a while. I was almost busy and forgot," Fang Nuo said embarrassedly.
"You've finished cleaning up. I was thinking of saying that I would come over earlier and help you clean up." Auntie Dahua said when she saw that her yard was cleaned up.
"I got up and did it as soon as I could. Auntie, please come inside and sit down. Yaya hasn't woken up yet. Please help me watch over it while I go cook breakfast," Fang Nuo said.
"Then just cook for yourself, don't worry about how many of us are there," Aunt Dahua warned.
"I'll cook more so that everyone can have the strength to work," Fang Nuo said.
"Hey, you girl, just listen to Auntie. Go and cook your own breakfast. We are all here to work. We only agreed to have one meal at noon," said Aunt Dahua.
Fang Nuo: "Stop talking, aunt. You came to my house to help with the work this early in the morning. I'll make you hungry. You won't be able to eat much for breakfast. Sister-in-law, don't worry."
Aunt Dahua: "Hey, you are really like this girl. Then cook less. You will have to eat for a while before you can share the food."
Fang Nuo: "I know, Auntie, you go sit in the room for a while, I will make tea for you later."
Aunt Dahua: "Goodbye, you are busy with your business, I can make whatever I want to drink myself."
Fang Nuo: "Okay, Auntie, you can do it yourself. Everything is on the table in the room."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went to the kitchen, looked at what she had at home, and finally chose to make gnocchi soup. There were not many vegetables left from yesterday, so she took the basket and went to the backyard to get some cabbage, and then green onions and cilantro.
I scooped water from the water tank outside and washed all the dishes before carrying them into the kitchen.
Heating a pot of water on the stove, she scooped out some white noodles, added water to the basin and kneaded them into a ball. The noodles were thinner than those for rolling noodles, but they could still form a ball.
Put the mixed dough into the pot and stir it quickly. After a while, small dough lumps will form in the water. After boiling, heat the chopped cabbage, then add some meat oil and season it.
When it's time to take it out of the pot, sprinkle in the coriander and green onions and that's it.
She scooped out the noodle soup and put it in a basin. She cleaned the pot, took a few pickle dumplings, washed them and cut them into shreds. Then she boiled the water in the pot dry, added a little oil, put the shredded pickles in, and stir-fried. When the aroma comes out, add some dried chili segments and stir-fry until the chili is a little mushy, then it's ready to serve.
She also picked some kimchi she made to serve as a dish, and then moved everything to the table in the yard.
She turned back to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks, and saw the three people who worked yesterday walking in from outside carrying wooden sticks.
"We're all here, put your things down first, have breakfast and then start working again" Fang Nuo shouted
Several people couldn't believe their ears when they heard her calling them to have breakfast.
They were all thinking, didn't they agree to only include one meal? Is it only breakfast included today?
In the end, the three of them felt that they had guessed the truth, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became stiff. They put down their things and came over, sat down and started eating.
Thinking that there was no lunch at noon, the three of them ate a lot in the morning, and the food cooked by this educated youth was so delicious.
Fang Nuo scooped up pimple soup for them and let them eat it first, then went to the room and called Auntie Dahua to come out and eat.
"Auntie, come out and have breakfast quickly."
"Hey, okay, here you go, have you eaten?" Aunt Dahua heard her shout and got up and left the house.
"Not yet. I won't call you now. Let's eat together when we get back." Fang Nuo said with a smile.
"Let's go, see if there is anything I need to do later, and arrange something for me to do. Otherwise, I will be a little embarrassed if I still eat your food without doing anything," Aunt Dahua said with a smile.
"Okay, my aunt will help me spread plant ash on the vegetable patch in the backyard. I won't have to do any other work," Fang Nuo said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, yo, the pimple soup you made looks delicious." The two of them walked to the dining table while talking, and Aunt Dahua said when she saw the food in the pot.
"Auntie, please try it. Is it delicious? I haven't made this for a long time. I wonder if my skills have deteriorated." Fang Nuo scooped up a bowl and handed it to her.
"This looks delicious. You should eat it quickly." Aunt Dahua took it, picked up her chopsticks and took a sip.
As expected, it was delicious as expected. She added some shredded pickles and tasted the salty aroma with a bit of spiciness, which made her appetizing a lot.
