Liu Qingxi quickly and efficiently dealt with the wild rabbit, while Yang Yichen felt a bit heartbroken for some reason.
In the family, those sisters were all delicate and gentle, but the girl in front of him was capable of everything, going up and down the mountains, and also taking care of her younger brother.
"I'll help!" Yang Yichen suddenly wanted to do something.
"No need, you can rest. It will be done soon!" Liu Qingxi's efficiency came from her survival skills honed during her solitary life in her previous life.
At that moment, Liu Qingyan ran back in a hurry. As soon as she entered the house and saw the rabbit in Liu Qingxi's hands, she immediately started dancing with excitement: "Ah! A rabbit! Sister, we have meat to eat!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry and wash your hands. Aren't you tired after playing all morning?"
"I'm not tired at all! I played with Brother Er Zhu from Village Chief's house, it was so much fun!" The kid happily recounted their games.
This was the first time in a long while that he had made a friend, and he couldn't be happier, wanting nothing more than to stick with Zhang Erzhu and the others.
"Really? Did Er Zhu play with you? What about the Three Pillars girls?"
"Oh, we played with them too! The Three Pillars are very obedient, but Ni loves to cry!" The kid said with a look of disdain.
It was unclear who often cried in front of their sister; now he was complaining about someone else.
"Well, since you are all good friends now, go invite them over! Let's treat everyone to rabbit tonight!" Liu Qingxi knew she wasn't wealthy at the moment.
However, it was necessary to invite a few children from Zhang Wuliang's family for a meal to express her gratitude.
"Okay, okay! I'll go right now!" The kid dashed out like a gust of wind.
Yang Yichen smiled beside her: "Yan is really cute. You two siblings have such a good relationship!"
"Of course! He's my only brother. I want to raise him well on behalf of our parents!" Liu Qingxi had already taken on the responsibility of caring for Liu Qingyan as if it were her own duty, willingly dedicating herself to it.
After all, she was not a real thirteen-year-old girl, but a twenty-seven-year-old soul from the modern world, with life experiences and resilience far beyond that of a teenager.
Her inherent strength and composure in handling situations were not put on.
After a while, Liu Qingyan burst into the courtyard with several people. In addition to the three children from Zhang Wuliang's family, there was another person whom Liu Qingxi did not recognize.
The kid, as the host, took the initiative to introduce, "This is my sister, and this is Yi Chen Brother!"
"Sister, this is Dog Boy!"
"Alright, you all wash your hands and wait; it will be ready soon!" With Liu Qingxi's voice falling, one could clearly hear Gulldong swallowing.
Returning to earlier, Liu Qingyan rushed to the village chief's house like a gust of wind, panting as she said, "Village Chief, my sister asked me to invite Er Zhu Brother over for dinner!"
"That won't do! You all have it tough; let him eat at home!" Zhang Wuliang refused, especially after Yang Yichen had visited in the morning; he had been keeping Liu Qingxi's situation in mind.
"Village Chief, it's true! There are Three Pillars and flowers; we're leaving now!"
The kid didn't care about that much. His invitation received enthusiastic responses from Zhang San Zhu's children. Without waiting for the adults to finish speaking, they followed Liu Qingyan out in a rush.
Turning into another household nearby, they invited another friend, Dog Boy.
This kid was the same age as Liu Qingyan and was a neighbor of Zhang Wuliang's family. He was also a good friend of Zhang Erzhu.
Liu Qingxi did not expect this kid to integrate into the world of Ten Li Pu children so quickly. Of course, she felt happy for him and no longer felt like an outcast as she had before.
~~~~~~~~
"Thank you, sister!" Although unfamiliar with Liu Qingxi, the children still called her politely.
Liu Qingxi was very happy that these carefree children had their own joyful world. Even in poverty, it did not tarnish their inner purity.
Yang Yichen envied the children's lives without reason; how wonderful it would be if he could live like that!
But he could not. From a very young age, he understood that everything in this world had to be achieved through his own efforts. Only by becoming strong could he protect his mother.
Thus, he never experienced such carefree and playful times. Except for when he was sick in bed, all his energy was devoted to studying.
Lost in thought, Liu Qingxi stood up to wash the rabbit meat without noticing him until the sound of sizzling brought him back to reality with a delicious aroma wafting through the air.
“Qingxi, why didn’t you ask me to help?”
“No need, I can do it myself. Just wait!” A while ago, she managed to cook for so many people in the Liu Family, so handling just a few now was no problem.
Liu Qingxi deeply understood that all experiences were part of the growth process. Perhaps in the past, she thought she would never cook on a stove like that again.
Using gas or electricity to cook was easy.
However, coming to this backward ancient time, everything was primitive. These experiences allowed her to quickly adapt without feeling out of place.
The scenarios depicted in dramas where the female lead knew nothing could never happen to her.
She was inherently self-reliant and strong; cooking while tending the fire was second nature to her.
After a while, Yang Yichen realized that he truly knew nothing. He stood aside, carefully observing the girl's movements. Being smart, he quickly grasped the technique.
“I'll tend the fire!” The girl was busy flipping and watching the fire at the same time, looking a bit flustered.
Liu Qingxi casually nodded. A wave of fragrant aromas mixed with spices made her turn away as she sneezed twice.
The scent of wild onions mixed with the aroma of rabbit wafted from the stove, reaching far and wide.
A few friends playing by the river were quickly drawn over, tightly surrounding Liu Qingxi, their eyes fixed on the bubbling chunks of meat in the pot.
Several children, Gulldong and others, were swallowing hard.
Liu Qingxi understood the children's feelings; even if they couldn't have meat, being able to fill their stomachs with steamed buns was a great happiness for them.
Moreover, this kind of meat was rarely seen even during the New Year.
Knowing his friends were eager, Liu Qingxi took the opportunity to wash a large basket of wild vegetables he had dug up from the mountain. Without any other side dishes, they would have to make do with what they had!
"Alright, alright, it's time to eat!" Liu Qingxi finally called out as the children eagerly anticipated the meal.
The kids laughed and jostled together, their eyes following the movement of the meat platter.
"Yan, get them seated properly. I'll go fetch the steamed buns and bowls!" Most of the steamed buns made by Liu Qingxi were made from whole grain flour, without too much refined flour.
But this was still much better than what Er Zhu and the others usually ate; it was softer and more fragrant than steamed cornmeal buns.
"Let's eat!"
With Liu Qingxi's command, Liu Qingyan picked up her chopsticks and reached for the largest piece of meat first.
