A... little girl?

Yang Ruoqing came over with a fruit platter and staggered when she heard Luo Baobao's name.

"Children, wash your hands and come over to eat fruit."

Yang Ruoqing greeted her gently. The children had gathered in front of the dog cage to play with the sleepy little teddy. When they heard Yang Ruoqing's greeting and saw the various cut fruits in her hand,

Every eye lit up.

"Come here and wash your hands. I'll lend you the soap I use for washing my hands."

Luo Baobao's clear voice sounded, leading the friends to wash their hands.

A little girl of the same age next to her giggled and said to Baby Luo: "Baby, why do you have to wash your hands before eating? We eat with our mouths, not with our hands. My mother can never tell me to eat.

I washed my hands before!"

Luo Baobao pointed at the little girl's dirty little hands and said: "You don't need to eat with your mouth, but you have to use your fingers to pick it up. My mother said that there are a lot of dirty things on our little hands that are invisible to the naked eye, and they end up in the stomach."

, you will get sick, have stomachache, and develop roundworms!”

"Huh? What are roundworms? I've never heard of them!" the little girl said again.

Bingbing on the side finished washing his hands, looked up and said, "I pulled out a roundworm. It's a white, long and thin one, a bit like an eel, scary!"

"Hey, Bingbing, how do you pull the roundworm?" Luo Baobao asked in surprise.

Bingbing said with a serious face: "Aunt Ping said that I was like this because I ate something unclean. Aunt Ping also told me to remember to wash my hands before eating. If I don't wash my hands, I will get a stomachache."

Luo Baobao turned around and said to the little girl who had questioned before: "Did you hear that? We all know this, but you don't. You have to be careful in the future, or the tapeworm will kill you!"

The little girl clamped her legs together with a look of horror on her face and murmured: "We gave birth to a younger brother. Every time my younger brother poops, he asks me to wipe his butt. I don't want to, and my mother says no."

If I wipe my brother, I won’t be given anything to eat.”

"From now on, after I wipe my brother's butt, I must wash my hands before eating."

Luo Baobao nodded, raised his hand and patted the little girl on the shoulder: "Well, children can be taught. Wash your hands quickly and eat the fruit after washing your hands."

When the children were sitting around the table scrambling to eat fruit, Baby Luo came to Yang Ruoqing's side.

"Mom, what are you doing? I'm just going to bring my little Teddy back to the village. They will definitely be envious of it." She said with pride on her face.

Yang Ruoqing smiled softly and said: "Well, because this little teddy is rare, everyone has never seen it before, so they all came to see the novelty."

"However, I still want to remind you that this puppy is just like a baby, it gets tired easily, especially if it suddenly changes to a different place and it still can't adapt."

"If you keep calling friends over to see it, it will disturb it, prevent it from sleeping well, and even frighten it."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Luo Baobao suddenly became frightened.

"Mom, what should I do? I don't want it to get sick, I just want it to grow up well and play with me," she said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "In that case, then try to bring as few friends as possible in the future. When it grows up, becomes stronger, and can run and jump behind you, you can then take it out to meet your friends.

Then let’s play!”

Baby Luo nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll go tell them right now and tell them to eat quickly. After eating the fruit, we'll go outside to play and let little Teddy sleep well."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.

Thinking of something, he called out to Baby Luo again: "Also, the word "only" is used to describe a puppy, and the word "" is used to describe a little girl. You can't compare the little Teddy to a little girl. This is a grammatical error.

Yes, even if you say it, you will be laughed at."

Luo Baobao blinked twice, thinking about what he had said, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"Okay, you go eat fruit with your friends. I will take little Teddy to his own little room in the backyard to cook noodles for him."

Yang Ruoqing said, got up and walked towards the dog cage.

This dog is too small, and its teeth have only just grown in. It cannot eat hard food or digest it.

You can only eat something soft and semi-liquid first.

Yang Ruoqing originally planned to buy this little teddy dog ​​back so that it could divert Baby Luo's desire for the little wolf cub.

But unexpectedly, within a few days after little Teddy came back, something else happened.

August 29th, the last day of this month, coincides with the cold dew.

In the crop fields, the last wave of cotton has been picked. In the past few days, everyone has been busy pulling up the cotton stalks from the ground, loading them into cars and sending them home to spread in the yard to dry.

Dry cotton stalks, like pine wool, are one of farmers' favorite fuels.

Regardless of whether you are cooking, or heating in a fire barrel in winter, cotton poles are the best, as they have less smoke and are resistant to burning.

The bare fields will be planted with rapeseed.

So everyone has been busy planting rapeseed these days, but the old Luo family is not very busy because almost all the crops have been rented out.

Wang Cuilian helped Sun pull cotton poles a few days ago, and Blacksmith Luo helped Yang Huazhong grow rapeseed.

Today is Cold Dew. According to the custom here, eating dumplings in Cold Dew is also a tradition.

So early in the morning, Yang Ruoqing went to her pond to catch a pound of fresh prawns.

On the way, I went to Da Sun's pork shed at the entrance of the village and bought two tender pieces of pork tenderloin.

I went to the vegetable garden and cut a handful of leeks, a cabbage, and a handful of celery when I came back to prepare dumpling fillings.

Knead and roll out the dough, wash your hands and make dumplings.

The large pot inside is filled with water, and a four-layer steamer is placed on top. After the water in the pot is boiled twice, the first wave of dumplings will be cooked.

In the first wave of dumplings, the first one must be given to the Kitchen God as a filial piety, and then they are put into bowls respectively, one bowl is sent to the mother-in-law's house, one bowl is given to Grandpa Suntou, and then to Lao Yangtou and Tan's house.

side.

The uncle, aunt, father and mother have all been working together these days. Later, she plans to put the dumplings in a basket and send them directly to the fields for them to eat.

When farming is busy, farmers often send meals to the fields, which saves the time of going back and forth.

When Yang Ruoqing delivered the dumplings, Blacksmith Luo and Yang Huazhong greeted them and came to the nearby small ditch to wash their hands, then climbed up and everyone sat on the ground in a circle.

There was a wooden board placed on the grass in the middle. On the wooden board were four large plates of hot dumplings, and a vinegar bowl was placed in the middle.
