Chapter 143 Getting along
"Aunt, I also know a few prescriptions. You can take them to the doctor and use the one that works best," Xie Zirui added.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Zirui, I don't need your help here, just move a chair and go play with Yiyi."
"Okay, then I'll go over there, aunt. If you need any work, just call me." Xie Zirui said as he turned around.
"Okay, I'll call you when there's work." Zhang smiled happily. Xie Zirui's child is good-looking and can talk. I don't know what kind of family can raise such a good child. However, my own children are also very good. Zhang smiled while working.
"Yiyi, let me light the fire." Xie Zirui put down the chair and sat next to Yun Yiyi.
"No need, you don't know how to do it. And it's so hot, look at me, how far away I am from the stove." Yun Yiyi said, wiping the sweat from her face.
"I'm not afraid of heat, Yiyi, please teach me. Once I learn how to do it, you won't have to light the fire anymore." Xie Zirui insisted.
Yun Yiyi looked up at Xie Zirui. After having his hair cut and taking a shower, he looked even better and more pleasing to the eye.
In fact, Yun Yiyi is a bit obsessed with looks. Maybe she herself doesn't even know it. Otherwise, how could Yun Yiyi help Xie Zirui and his grandson when there were so many refugees on the road to escape famine?
Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Yun Yiyi recognized Xie Zirui with her eyes. This was enough to show that Yun Yiyi was a typical face control.
"Okay then. If you see that there is not much firewood left in the stove, add more firewood. Don't fill it too full. If you fill it too full, the firewood won't light easily and will even smoke."
“Just add firewood to half the size of the stove hole. When starting the fire, use a fire stick and use some dry grass to light it and it will light immediately.” Yun Yiyi saw that Xie Zirui really wanted to learn, so she told him everything she knew in detail.
"Okay, Yiyi. Just sit there and don't move. I'll add some firewood." Xie Zirui said seriously.
Yun Yiyi looked at Xie Zirui's stern face, turned her head and smiled for a while before replying, "Okay."
"Yiyi, aren't you curious about what I look like now?" Xie Zirui was observing Yun Yiyi just now. Since Yun Yiyi saw him, there was no expression of surprise at all.
"Brother Zirui, there's nothing to be surprised about. You and your grandmother must have your own abilities to be able to walk so far while fleeing the famine. Besides, you were just hiding your appearance." Yun Yiyi said indifferently.
"It's just that I'm tanned now. If I were as white and fat as you, my parents and brothers would be worried."
"That's true. But you're just a little rounder than the average girl. I think you're fine this way. You're also healthy."
"When you grow up a little bit more, you will naturally become thinner as you grow taller." Xie Zirui said warmly.
"Oh, Brother Zirui, I love what you said." Yun Yiyi smiled happily. She didn't expect Xie Zirui to be so good at talking.
However, from the beginning, Yun Yiyi knew that Xie Zirui was not a simple child. Meeting him again was also a kind of fate. Now I can help him as much as I can.
Moreover, Yun Yiyi felt that Xie Zirui was a very principled person and would never repay kindness with enmity.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were chatting happily, and Xie Zirui was learning to add firewood to the stove.
Yun Yiyi estimated that with Xie Zirui's cleverness, he would be able to make a fire on his own tomorrow.
Moreover, Xie Zirui is good at speaking and takes good care of the little girl's emotions. Yun Yiyi was very happy throughout the whole process.
Zhang and Yun Erge, who were working nearby, felt differently. Zhang was very happy that her daughter had found a good friend to play with.
Second Brother Yun felt that it was that brat Xie Zirui who had taken his sister away, and he felt a little unhappy.
After a while, Yun Da Ge and Yun San Ge also came back with big baskets of firewood. When they saw Xie Zirui, they were also startled.
Unexpectedly, after Xie Zirui took a shower and cut his hair, he seemed like a different person.
After Xie Zirui's explanation, Brother Yun and Brother Yun also forgave him for his previous concealment. And they felt that Xie Zirui was quite pitiful now. Thinking of this, they did not blame Xie Zirui.
By the time Zhang had put the steamed buns in the basket to dry and the steamed chili eggs on the table, Yun the Butcher hadn't come back yet.
Zhang looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was still high. She took out a large piece of pig lung from the donkey cart, cleaned it, and put it in the big iron pot.
"Second brother, keep the fire going and cook the meat."
"Boss, find some of the dried mint and ask your second brother to burn it next to the stove. Otherwise, when the meat is cooked, the fragrance will spread out." Zhang made arrangements in a low voice.
"I understand, Mom." Brother Yun said and went to light the fire.
"I want to get it again, Mom." After saying that, Brother Yun climbed onto the donkey cart and found a handful of mint.
"Here's the mint, second brother. Wait a moment, and add the mint after the water in the pot boils. Don't add it now, it doesn't taste good."
"Got it, big brother. You and third brother are tired, go and have a rest."
"Okay, let's go now." Brother Yun patted Brother Yun's shoulder and said.
At this moment, Zhang was busy moving out the remaining cotton with cotton seeds, and called on Boss Yun to help.
"Mom, there's not much left. You should take a rest for a while." Brother Yun advised.
"Boss, you'd better pick them quickly. When you have time, go to the village and find someone to pluck them for you, and then you can make cotton-padded jackets and quilts." Zhang's words did not delay her work.
"Besides, Xie Zirui's single clothes can be worn by the second and third children, but each of them has a set of cotton clothes, so it's hard to even them out."
"I thought about making another set of cotton-padded clothes for everyone, and make them thicker. I'll make two sets for Xie Zirui directly."
"We don't have enough quilts at home, so we have to make some. But we're not sure how many quilts we can make now. We have to wait until the cotton clothes are finished and we can decide how much cotton is left." Zhang calculated slowly.
"Mom, are you planning to adopt Xie Zirui?" Brother Yun leaned close to Zhang and asked in a low voice.
"I plan to raise him first. The main reason is that the child has no relatives now. If we don't raise him, I guess no one will be willing to raise someone else's child in a year of famine." After saying this, Zhang sighed deeply.
"You see, he's just a little kid, he's so good-looking, but he has no one to take care of him. And now human traffickers are rampant. I'm a mother too, I can't bear to do that."
"Mom, you haven't discussed it with my dad yet. Will my dad agree?" Brother Yun asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry about your father. As long as I agree, he will definitely agree." Zhang said affirmatively.
"That's true. My father listens to you the most. But, mother, do we have enough food?" Boss Yun still wanted to confirm. Although Xie Zirui was pitiful, it would be even more pitiful if his brothers and sisters were hungry.
