Probably because of the water drops they had taken before, this time the four children drank the rice porridge diluted with spiritual water, and the oozing dirt was less than before, and a thin layer came out.

And Qiao Huaping guessed that he had taken a whole drop before, but this time he took the rice porridge mixed with spiritual water, and there was not much dirt leaking out, and he felt refreshed.

The four children thought they were sweating, but they didn't think much about it, but they were all a little embarrassed.

Qiao Huaping picked out an old dress with several holes, cut it up and made a few sweat towels, distributed them to several children, let them dip in the stream water saved earlier, and wipe their bodies.

After wiping, the basin of water turned black.

The faces of the four Mei family children all turned red.

Mei Qingyao secretly looked at Qiao Huaping to see if there was any look of disgust on her face.

Qiao Huaping, however, was calm and didn't take it seriously: "It should be because of the wind and sand when I fell asleep last night, it's not a big deal. When you rest at noon, check if there is any water nearby, and then take a bath That's it."

Qiao Huaping spoke lightly, the four children were infected by Qiao Huaping's attitude, and all of them relaxed a little.

It's just a pity that when the scorching sun was in the sky and the fleeing team stopped to avoid the scorching sun, they still couldn't find the water source.

Qiao Huaping took the four children to choose a shady place. She took out the cattail fan given by Sister Du earlier, and wanted to pull Mei Qingying to her side, so that Mei Qingying could enjoy the wind when she fanned herself. .

Mei Qingying is a little shy today, and she is not willing to lean against Qiao Huaping.

Qiao Huaping asked her what's the matter, but she didn't speak, just shook her head, turned around, but secretly raised her arm to smell if she smelled bad.

Qiao Huaping almost laughed out loud, the little girl was afraid that her own body smell would suffocate her.

Qiao Huaping directly pulled Mei Qingying to her side, "Okay, everyone is sweating in such a hot day, so don't dislike anyone."

Mei Qingying's face turned red, and she secretly looked at Qiao Huaping. Qiao Huaping's expression remained the same, but because of the heat, a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Qiao Huaping shook the palm-leaf fan, and the wind from the palm-leaf fan blew over, making her feel comfortable.

Mei Qingying huddled beside Qiao Huaping and couldn't help closing her eyes.

So comfortable.

The other three boys from the Mei family couldn't help laughing foolishly.

Even Mei Qingyu, who was thoughtful at a young age, was sweating and smiling.

The little stepmother made them happier by taking care of their younger sisters than taking care of them.

The corners of Qiao Huaping's mouth couldn't help but twitched, he reached into the bag and took out a handful of coriander roots.

Peel off a layer of skin on the inside and outside of this thing, and inside is the soft and sweet coriander root, which tastes sweet.

The children in the village didn't have much chance to eat candy when they were young, and they always liked it because it could sweeten their mouths.

Qiao Huaping sat there, shaking the cattail fan, too lazy to move.She kept a few for herself, stuffed them into Mei Qingying's hands, and ordered Mei Qingyao: "Come, come, share these."

It was also rare for Mei Qingyao to be obedient and not say anything unflattering. She got up and took the white coriander root and gave it to her two younger brothers.

The smiles on the faces of the children never stopped as they ate the sweet coriander root.

After resting, Qiao Huaping was ready to cook.

It's really hot at noon today, and many people in the village can't bear to light a fire to cook, and they just eat dry food.

Qiao Huaping didn't mind the heat. She felt that when the four cubs in her family were all growing up, they could cook as soon as they could. Even if the ingredients were not available, wouldn't they still have some wild vegetables?

She stuffed the cattail fan into Mei Qingyao's hand, resisted the hoe, and went to the field not far away, digging for a while, and when she came back, the bag was bulging and full of wild vegetables.

There was not much water on the trolley, and the water bladder was a little deflated. Qiao Huaping was also careful when washing wild vegetables with water.

After washing the wild vegetables and adding some flour, she touched the bag again and found two eggs.

Old Sanmei Qinghuang's eyes widened: "Eggs!"

Qiao Huaping corrected him: "It's not an egg, it's a wild pheasant's egg. When I caught a pheasant earlier, I picked it from the grass."

Mei Qinghuang swallowed, watched as Qiao Huaping beat the eggs into the flour to make egg roux, then put the chopped wild vegetables in, stirred evenly, scooped up a spoonful of wild vegetable paste, and spread it in the pot ——

It's wild vegetable quiche!

The aroma escaped from the pot.

Mei Qinghuang was so happy that she was about to cry, tears flowed from her mouth.

While wiping the saliva, he whispered to Mei Qingyu: "Brother Yu, the wild vegetable pancakes made by this little stepmother are much more delicious than yours!"

Mei Qingyu glared at his younger brother who was full of food: "Didn't you just add two more eggs?"

Mei Qinghuang persisted and whispered: "But, it does smell a lot."

Mei Qingyu didn't say anything more.

Indeed, this scent is much, much better than the one he made.

Is the power of two eggs so great?

The thoughtful seven-year-old boy Mei Qingyu fell into deep thought.

Since Qiao Huaping took Lingshui, her five senses have been greatly improved.

She could clearly hear the two children's conversation that they thought was concealed.

She snorted proudly, thinking, don't you understand?Not only because of the two eggs, but also a variety of wild vegetables. Through the ratio, the flavors complement each other, which can naturally increase the fragrance to a higher level.

What is this called? This is called taking science as a guide and using experience as strength!

One big and four small ones in Mei's family had a delicious meal of wild vegetable omelets with pickles.

The villagers who were eating dry food next to them all looked at the Mei family with a little envy.

They felt more and more that Qiao's probably really changed his temper.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the sun's setting, the team fleeing from famine in Liujin Village started their journey again.

At dusk, the village chief took people to find several caves and asked everyone to camp and rest.

The few caves are not too big, and you can sleep if you squeeze them together, but in such a hot day, after another day of driving, no one wants to be crowded with others.

Many people directly spread their bedding under the rock wall outside.

In this way, the people outside sleep comfortably, and the people in the cave are also spacious.

However, there used to be a small stream nearby, but due to the hot weather, the small stream that was originally in the dry season actually dried up, leaving only a dry river bed.

The village head sighed: "Let's have a look tomorrow. Everyone save some water."

The Mei family's children were a little droopy.

Qiao Huaping thought for a while, and then took out a handful of wild berries from the space in the bag.

Wild berries are sour and sweet, they can relieve heat and promote salivation. Eating them at this time can be called a good product in midsummer.

Because of the need to save water, Qiao Huaping didn't cook anymore at night, but took the wild vegetable omelet that was baked more at noon, and shared it with the four children, so it was considered dinner.

Qiao Huaping slept next to the cave wall. In the middle of the night, in a daze, she suddenly felt that the stone wall was a bit damp.

Qiao Huaping woke up instantly!

This is—is it going to rain? !
