The second brother of the family couldn’t help but feel a little hungry when he was eating, so he also asked for a small bowl of vegetable porridge to eat with his mother.
Due to customary reasons, Li Xuanba’s food is indeed “simple and vulgar” and cannot be seen. But Dou scooped a spoonful of salty and odorless vegetable porridge into her mouth. The simmered rice grains mixed with the vegetables and slipped into her throat. The sweetness of the rice itself blended with the fresh taste of the vegetables. She swallowed it only once, which aroused her appetite.
Dou put down the spoon, picked up the chopsticks, and ate a piece of cucumber.
Li Xuanba was afraid that the cucumber would not be washed clean, so he asked the chef to burn the cucumber first, so the cucumber skin was not crisp enough. But the cucumber meat is still crispy, and the raw cucumber flesh still has a hint of coolness, which is very refreshing.
Dou took another sip of porridge, and felt that the nausea aroused by the previous barbecue and scones had completely disappeared.
She then picked up a slice of sauerkraut beef.
The beef slices are very thin, and the size is just right for the mouth. There is no need to bite. If you chew it for a few bites, the beef will turn into meat residue and it will be eaten with sauerkraut juice, which will easily swallow.
When Dou had eaten barbecue before, he had to chew it for a long time before he could swallow it hard.
“It’s delicious.” Feeling that his appetite was getting better, the fatigue on Dou’s face faded a little.
Li Xuanba wiped the porridge at the corner of his mouth and said, “Mom, don’t talk, eat quickly. After eating, sleep for a while.”
Dou nodded gently and speeded up the meal.
Li Xuanba’s mouth unconsciously bent upwards, lowered his head and drank half a bowl of porridge in one breath, and then pushed the bowl in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin wiped the oil from his mouth with the back of his hand, picked up Li Xuanba’s bowl, and drank the remaining half bowl of porridge in one go, just like drinking water.
Li Xuanba’s mouth, which had just bent upward, immediately turned the corner of his mouth and asked someone to bring warm water to wipe his face, mouth and hands for Li Shimin who was finally full.
“Just take a shower.” Li Xuanba looked at the oil stains on Li Shimin’s chest, and his little face wrinkled.
Li Shimin said angrily: “Now you wash it. You will ask me to wash it before going to bed at night, but don’t wash it.”
Dou smiled and said: “You can change your clothes if you don’t wash it.”
Li Xuanba pulled Li Shimin to change his clothes. Li Shimin kept sighing, obviously having a headache about his younger brother’s bad habit of being clean.
When Li Shimin was pulled away by Li Xuanba, he turned around and said to Dou, “Mom, hurry up and take a nap. Don’t worry about food accumulation.”
Dou smiled and nodded, “Okay.”
Li Shimin and Li Xuanba went to change their clothes, and Dou then put on the bed where their two sons were sleeping for a while.
Two quarters of an hour later, when Mrs. Dugu sent someone to urge her again, Dou had recovered some energy and combed her a little.After combing his hair, he hurried to serve his mother-in-law.
Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are practicing writing.
Seeing that Dou was about to leave, Li Xuanba gave Li Shimin a look. Li Shimin put down his brush and climbed down from the couch to put on his shoes.
“Mom, I want to visit my grandmother too.” Li Shimin raised the paper in his hand, “A Xuan and I copied the Buddhist scriptures for praying for blessings. A Xuan wants to recover, so he won’t go.”
Dou immediately understood why the two smart children did this.
She rubbed the heads of the two children and said happily, “Okay.”
Li Shimin held the copied Buddhist scriptures in one hand and held Dou’s hand in the other, jumping away.
Not long after Li Xuanba watched his mother and his second brother leave, he was jumping around at home. A servant came to report that the eldest son asked him to come over.
Li Xuanba twitched slightly, pressing his forehead: “Tell him, I’m sick.”
The servant said, “Yes.”
Li Xuanba guessed why Li Jiancheng asked him to go there.
Obviously, before my mother returned to her grandmother’s place, she went to visit Li Jiancheng and talked about his previous delivery of food.
The mother is very gentle to the children, and as the eldest son, Li Jiancheng, as the eldest son, grew up under the old lady Dugu when he was a child, and he was more polite to get along with the mother and son. So my mother definitely did not scold Li Jiancheng, but just tactfully hoped that Li Jiancheng would have a better attitude towards him.
But obviously this proud brother was still unhappy.
So he didn’t want his second brother to mention this to his mother! The Li family is always cautious from top to bottom! It’s very troublesome or not!
