Queen of flowers - Chapter 14

Seeing Yong Miao’s behavior, Yong Ruo smiled and chided him, “Go wash your hands first!”

This was a requirement that Yong Ruo had after transmigration. She had the authority of being the elder sister. Although Yong Miao did not give up the food container, he had to wash his hands reluctantly.

Yong Qiao came in with the chopsticks. Yong Ruo took out the peanut rice and candied dates and asked Yong Qiao and Yong Miao to eat with chopsticks. She didn’t let them eat with their hands directly, letting them eat slowly.

She warmed the fire in the cottage fireplace, kept a small pot on the simple stove, drank a little water from the bucket and put it in the pot. When the water was boiling, she poured the bowl of minced carrot and minced porridge into the pan, and two slices of sausage and two bacon were sandwiched in and stirred together to heat.

When the porridge became hot, she divided the porridge into two, one for Yong Qiao and one for Yong Miao, and one for sausage and bacon.

“Sister, how about you and our mother?” Yong Qiao swallowed but asked hesitantly.

Yong Ruo smiled, “Sister has eaten. Mother is asleep now. When she wakes up, I will give her hot dumplings. This porridge is for you.”

Yong Miao reluctantly pointed at the chicken and duck meat in the food box, “Sister, can I have some more of those dishes?”

Yong Ruo shook her head, “No! We have been hungry for a long time. We can’t eat too much at once. Otherwise, we will have a stomach ache. It’s better to drink the medicine of that bitter person. Rest assured, we will slowly eat these things tomorrow.”

It was still cold now, so even if there was no refrigerator, it wouldn’t rot in a day or two.

Yong Qiao and Yong Miao drank the porridge in their bowls contentedly. After eating a piece of bacon and sausage, they didn’t place the whole piece of meat in their mouth, but took a small bite at a time and ate it slowly with the porridge.

After eating, the two were very satisfied and started to get sleepy. After all, they were weak, and it was not easy for them to survive until now.

Yong Ruo sent them to gargle without washing their face.. They don’t have skincare products, and they had tiny cracks on their faces, so it would be better if they avoided washing their face too often.

Yong Miao was very reluctant and didn’t want to rinse his mouth, he begged, “Sister, don’t rinse your mouth tonight! After all, it’s hard to eat meat. I want to leave that meaty taste in my mouth for a while! If I am hungry at midnight, I will lick the minced meat in my teeth and eat it. Maybe I could have a good dream … “

Yong Ruo laughed. She thought that Yong Miao’s remark would be another “folk misery” that can be told to Feng Gongzi!

“Look at you!” Yong Ruo sneered, resolutely not allowing such a thing to happen. “If you don’t rinse your mouth before going to bed, your teeth will break! When your teeth are rotten, you can’t eat anything!”

Yong Miao muttered, “I still have to change my teeth! If it breaks, I will have a new one!”

Yong Ruo scared him, “What do you eat before you change your teeth? Don’t play tricks, go!”

Yong Miao was reluctantly caught by Yong Qiao and rinsed, then the two went to bed and soon fell asleep.

Yong Ruo packed the chopsticks and glanced at her mother to find her awake., She quickly went over to her, “Mother, I am back! How are you?” She took a pillow and placed it behind Zhou’s back, helping her to sit up halfway.

Zhou said weakly, “Still the same!” Pulling Yong Ruo and looking at her, she was relieved that there was nothing wrong with Yong Ruo. “I heard that you are selling flowers at the lantern festival. I was worried about now … now that you are back, I can rest assured! “

After saying a few words, she was out of breath.

Yong Ruo patted her hand and laughed, “Mother, don’t worry! I had good luck today. Not only did I sell the flowers, but I also met a noblewoman. The old lady was kind-hearted and looked extremely noble. I just said a few words of flattery, and she was happy. Not only did she buy my flowers, but she also invited me to eat at the restaurant to accompany her to talk. I picked some things about and told her a few things which made her laugh all the time … “She told the story of that tonight.

She untied the shackles next to her and dumped the money in the shackles on Zhou’s quilt.

A pair of silver ingots, a lot of scattered silver, a lot of copper coins! Zhou’s eyes were straight, “This … much ?!”

Yong Ruo nodded madly, with a look of excitement, “A junior in her family gave me all the broken silver in the purse and said it was a reward for me.”

Zhou caressed the silver money on the quilt, smiled slightly bitterly, and said nostalgically, “The last time I touched so much silver money, it was when your father was alive …”

Then Zhou took the five silver ingots aside and picked up some larger pieces of broken silver. She said to Yong Ruo, “These silvers should be packed in a small jar and found somewhere to bury.”

She divided the remaining pieces of broken silver into two, and instructed Yong Ruo, “Hide them in two places separately. Keep them tight.”

Yong Ruo said, “I’ll go to Tibet later. Mother, let me heat some dumplings! They are three fresh stuffings made with shrimp, pork, and mushrooms, but it’s delicious.”
