"Cough, cough, cough~" The man in the short shirt was about to continue, but Uncle Li coughed twice in front, which made everyone shut up.

Because it happened to be noon when we went back, the two men who were traveling with us brought food, and they gave it to Uncle Li intentionally, and didn't care about Lin An.

Lin An didn't have time to think about other things at this time. He felt that the possibility of sunstroke was too great if he continued to expose himself to the sun. Uncle Li seemed to have seen Lin An's predicament and gave Lin An his straw hat.

After arriving home, Lin An looked at his tanned skin, and felt a little tingling when he touched it a little.

Xiao Mao seemed to know that he was back, and poked his head at the door to look inside.

"what's up?"

"Back~back~." It may be because of the relationship with yesterday, Xiaomao has almost no hostility towards him now, or maybe because of Xiaomao's natural stammer, other children in the village are not willing to take him to play, and they are usually willing to talk to him There are not many, so he will be very happy to meet someone who is kind to him.

Lin An started cooking after a short rest, and Xiao Mao was very diligent in helping out. Unlike Lin An who was unfamiliar with work, although Xiao Mao stuttered, he was very agile in his work, not at all like a four or five-year-old little child.

"Very~very expensive~, right?" Xiao Mao watched Lin An wash rice, licked his lips, and swallowed again.

"When you earn money, you can eat well." Lin An didn't know how to answer Xiaomao's question. His family was poor, and he was only so young. Grandma Xiaomao was also at an age where she would collapse at any time. From birth to now, he I have never had a good life, and now I feel envious just seeing white rice porridge.

"Wait~wait for me~grow up~" Xiao Mao stared at the rice in the pot and answered happily.

Xiao Mao was originally sitting behind the stove and helping to light the fire, but after a while, he seemed to think of something, and when he greeted Lin An, he rushed out again.

"Don't forget to come over for dinner later." Lin An said while finding out the clothes he changed last night, and he will go to wash the clothes after eating.

Xiaomao went and came back quickly, still holding the bowl that was given to him yesterday in his hand.

"Morning~morning~grandma~Grandma gave me, here I am." Xiao Mao put the bowl on the stove, then took another look at the pot of woolen yarn, turned around and left again.

It may be because he heard Lin An calling him from behind, and he explained anxiously that he had already eaten and was about to go to work in the fields.

Lin An didn't expose him. Everyone here eats two meals. Now at noon, when did they eat?I'll send him a bowl later, I don't have any more, I can only wait for my life to be better, and then help them.

After eating at noon, Lin An put the porridge in the bowl that Xiaomao sent, and sent it to them.

Xiaomao's house was very quiet, Lin An thought everyone had gone out, but later found Xiaomao's grandma dozing off with a walking stick on a wooden plinth, Xiaomao didn't know where she had gone.

Lin An put the food on the table and left without waking Grandma Xiaomao.

After delivering the porridge, Lin An packed up his clothes and went to the river, because there was no one here at noon, only a few children playing and playing in the river.Among them were the two children from the Zuo family.

Lin An found a shady place, and as soon as he squatted down, there were bear children throwing stones in front of him. At first Lin An thought it was accidentally hit here, but then several more came over in succession, and there were several children With the sound of ridicule, Lin An touched the water on his face, and while the children were not paying attention, he directly picked up a rock beside him and threw it at the children. I sat in the water with my buttocks, because the river water did not cover my calves in summer, so I got wet at most.

"It's just a bunch of little bastards with mothers but no mothers." Lin An snorted coldly, then continued to rub his clothes.

Because those children were frightened, the children who fell down cried out immediately, and the older ones started to stand there and scold their mothers. It seems that such a big child often swears more viciously than adults, Lin An bit Tooth, pretending that he didn't hear it, the children scolded more and more vigorously, and even sang.

When Lin An got up, those kids thought he was going to hit them again, and ran away in all directions. Lin An looked at the direction they were running away and felt a pang of anger in his heart. Sure enough, there was no shortage of brats at any time.

Just when Lin An was about to go back, he saw some plants resembling lotus leaves growing on the shoal opposite the small river. There were quite a lot of them. Lin An lived in the countryside since he was a child, and he was quite familiar with some plants. Plants, the first thing he thought of was tall bamboo shoots and taro, but there are so many edible plants in this place in this era of food scarcity?

Lin An took off his shoes and waded through the water. Unlike the place where he just washed his clothes, there was a lot of mud here. Lin An leaned on the front and pulled it down with his hands. After a while, he pulled out a taro, an oval There are several circles of purple lines on the outside of the shape.

"Is this a sweet taro?" Lin An was a little uncertain, but since it wasn't Gao Sun, he understood why there were so many of them and no one dug them up. If the taro is not ripe, it is poisonous, and some of them will be allergic to peeling the skin directly. , No wonder no one eats it.

I don't know if Lin An was driven mad by his own poverty, and quickly searched for the method of taro in his mind.

Lin An hung the washed clothes on his shoulders, then started digging taro, and hurried home when his robe was full.

After drying the clothes, Lin An started to deal with the taro. Because he didn't have leather gloves, he could only use those old clothes to tear off a piece and wrap his hands to start dealing with the taro skin. After the outer hair was gone, Lin An found someone A piece of a broken bowl was used to remove the skin inside. This was a bit troublesome and took a lot of time. After the skin was peeled, he smelled it a few times and thought it should be taro, and then squeezed it in his hand. twice.

After the taro is peeled off, skin allergies are usually not gone. After waiting for about half an hour, Lin An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then started to light the fire again, directly cut the taro into small pieces and threw it into the pot to boil slowly. He had nothing else to do. There is no way to make this into a dish with the seasoning. He still has some sugar at home, and he will cook it directly and put some sugar in it to see if he can drink it?

When Lin An was cooking sweet taro, he suddenly thought, sugar should be a luxury in this era, right?Ordinary people may not be able to eat it for a year, but he actually has such a big piece?It seems that this young master Lin's status is really extraordinary, but he has no impression of Lin Chuyi's life experience.

When Xiao Mao came, Lin An was putting sugar into the pot.

"Grandma~ grandma~ let me, return~" Xiaomao stepped across the threshold with some difficulty on his short legs, still carefully holding the untouched bowl of porridge in his hand.

"This is for you guys to eat. I still have some for myself. Look, I'm making food again." Lin An stirred the taro in the pot with a spatula, and the sweet smell made Xiaomao suck it desperately saliva.

"I'm with you, I told your grandma."
