"It's okay, there's still a lot in the house. When you didn't come to my house for lunch, I was worried that you were tired from work and hungry. So, I'll bring it for you." Xin Qian said, then she called Xin Tianan to sit down.
Seeing Xin Qian had already come all the way here, Xin Tianan could not say anything to refuse. "Second brother, then I'll wash my hands first."
"All right." Xin Qian replied.
Xin Tianan washed his hands in the small trench next to him. River water in ancient times was not polluted, so it was very clear and clean. Xin Tianan sat next to Xin Qian after washing his hands. Xin Qian opened the plate, and there were four rice balls inside.
Xin Fan who was at the side said to Xin Tianan enviously, "Tianan, your second sister is very kind to you. I don't know what it's like to have a sister because I'm the first."
Xin Tianan smiled timidly, in his heart Xin Qian was the always kind and caring sister to him. He felt closer to Xin Qian, in the appeal of his elder brother.
Xin Qian was embarrassed to just let Xin Tianan eat her alone. Seeing that Xin Fan had a good attitude towards her, unlike the others in the Xin family, so she said to Xin Fan, "Second cousin, wash your hands and eat as well. You must be tired from work too."
Xin Fan wanted to refuse, but she was also hungry. Seeing the rice ball Xin Qian made was very fragrant, saliva overflowed from her mouth, so she said, "Alright, thank you Qian’er."
"Together." Xin Qian replied.
As for the other people in the Xin family, Xin Qian did not offer them including her Father. He had never been close to his father since long ago and especially after Xin Qian came out of the Xin family, they became rarely greet each other.
Xin Fan only ate one but Xin Tianan asked her to eat another, so she ate another one. Xin Qian's rice ball was really very tasty.
"Second brother, your homemade rice balls are delicious" Xin Tianan said. Rice balls made by other people usually do not have stuffing in them. But, Xin Qian filled it with pork chops and green peppers.
“Ya, cousin-made rice ball really very good.” Xin Fan did not expect that the dishes sent by Xin Qian would be so delicious. After eating, he would have endless aftertaste. It was not that Xin Qian's cooking was truly luxurious, but the Xin family's food had been too poor all this time, and the entire menu every day was rice and bland vegetables.
Unlike the way Xin Qian cooks which uses a lot of vegetable oil and spices. To the Xin family, they only added salt and a little oil to their cooking. So, the stir-fried vegetables made were very different from Xin Qian.
"Thank God you like it. Drink water after eating." Xin Qian said as she handed over the honey water.
"Thank you, second brother." After Xin Tianan drank some mouthfuls, he discovered that it was sweet, "Second brother, this is honey water?"
"Yes, that's right." Xin Qian smiled
"Second brother, you can give it to Xiao Chen, why did you give it to me?" xin Tianan. He knew honey was expensive.
"It's okay, you're tired from work, so you have to eat something nutritious." Xin Qian's
"Yes. Second brother, thank you." Xin Tianan did not know what to say except to thank him.
"Haha, why are you being polite with me. You're my sister so don't hesitate to." Xin Qian said. After all, his sister had helped him lift water every day.
“Alright, second brother.” Xin Tianan said with a warm smile
"Go, rest when you're tired. You have to take care of your body." Xin Qian reminded. He was very sorry to see his sister who worked hard at such a young age. In modern times, teenagers of Xin Tianan's age only know how to study and school. Meanwhile, in ancient times strong men had to work in the fields with their parents. That's because people in the village rarely send their children to school.
"I'll remember it, second brother." Xin Tianan nodded
"Other times, I'll come here to bring you food if I have time." Xin Qian's
"All right." Xin Tianan replied. After that, he went on to continue his work in the field.
Xin Qian carried her food basket and packed her things. Xin Yang took Xiao Chen and the other three children together, and they caught a few frogs in a moment.
“Mother, look!” said Xiao Chen carrying the frog in his hand to Xin Qian.
Xin Qian praised the children. Unexpectedly, they caught more.. Within an hour, they had already caught twenty frogs. Because there is no pollution in the countryside, and no one catches frogs. In addition, there are many insects in the spring, so these frogs grow faster. Seeing there were so many frogs, Xin Qian thought they could eat stir-fried frogs a few times.
All of a sudden, there was an idea in his mind, would I be able to sell this frog in the city?
The ancient people did not know how to eat and cook frogs, but he did. Of course, if you bring it straight to the city, no one will buy it. So, he had to take her to the restaurant first, then make one frog dish, and let others taste it. Then, if they liked it, he could sell it to a restaurant!
It was an idea he had thought of. Those delicious frogs should be going hard.
Success is having a way of making money for him. Only by making more money can I live a good life with Xiao Chen. With that, Xin Qian intended to sell frog meat to the city.
“Let's go home kids, I'll make you some steamed bread, and we'll eat it together.” Xin Qian smiled.
“Yeyy!!” cheers of the children. They were happy to hear the tone of the steamed bread waiting.
Some kids followed him in the back. On the way, Xin Qian discussed with some children, and they agreed to catch more frogs. Tomorrow he'll go to town again.
When the negotiations with the restaurant really worked, he would have Xin Yang invite a few more children to catch the frog. Xin Qian would naturally pay them with sweets. In ancient times, candy was a luxury food that was rarely enjoyed by rural people.
The children in this village are many. The more frogs each child catches, the more candy they will be given. Xin Qian believed in the temptation of sweets, and the children would definitely love it. And then he could sell his frog meat for money and also to buy candy. Of course, by doing this, the children in the village would not be too far away from Xiao Chen.
Upon reaching home, Xin Qian entered the kitchen and started making steamed buns. Xiao Chen, Xin Yang and the child named San'er lived in a corner of the house to play on the ground.
