She patted the other small bench beside her and said,
"Brother, sit down~"
She specially asked her grandma to put it next to her, waiting for Ji Beinian to arrive.
Ma Yuehong, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, peeled potatoes and came out to take a look. When she saw two little children sitting side by side, she smiled and continued cooking.
Ji Beinian put the bag he brought on the clean bluestone steps, reached in and took out a can of beef, silently opened the lid and handed it to Mu Nannan.
"Wow!"
"Beef!"
Mu Nannan smelled the delicious aroma of beef, and her depression disappeared instantly.
She couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and wanted to eat it with her fingers.
"Unhygienic."
Ji Beinian held her chubby hand, a little annoyed that he hadn't thought carefully and forgot to bring a fork.
He led Mu Nannan to the well. There were two wooden basins filled with clean water.
He picked up the water and helped her wash her hands carefully:
"Nan Bao, do you have any soap?"
Mu Nannan moved her little paws, and then pointed to a small wooden box between the two wooden basins.
Ji Beinian opened the box knowingly, took out the light yellow soap inside, rubbed out a layer of foam, and applied it to the fleshy claws that were two sizes smaller than him.
After rinsing it with water, put the soap back and cover it again.
Mu Nannan watched his movements with satisfaction.
Soap is so valuable.
Each one costs more than a dollar.
She has it at home because her skin is so tender that she can't use honey locust.
Originally, grandma just wanted her to use it alone, but she didn't want to, so she took it out for the whole family to use. Later, grandma bought another one and locked it in a wooden cabinet just for her to use for bathing.
She was happily eating the canned beef when she heard Mu Sheng's cheerful voice:
"Milk, milk!"
"I caught a tortoise!"
He ran into the yard like the wind, and the wooden door was almost broken by him. .
Ma Yuehong came out with a shovel:
"You can't run slower! The door of our house was knocked crooked by you, a bastard!"
Mu Sheng smiled nonchalantly:
"Miscellaneous, look."
He took the hidden The bastard took it out from his jacket.
Mu Nannan curiously pulled Ji Beinian to look.
She had only heard of this creature, the Bastard, but had never seen one.
The big turtle shell had a head and neck similar to a snake, and the four claws were retracted into the turtle shell...
She stretched out her hand to poke it, but Mu Sheng hugged the turtle and backed away quickly:
"Nan Bao, you can't touch it. Turtles can bite people, and the bites are very painful."
"...Oh."
Mu Nannan retracted his fat hand that was ready to move.
"Grandma."
She raised her little face and said softly,
"I want to drink tortoise soup."
Ma Yuehong always doted on her granddaughter unconditionally:
"Okay, grandma will stew this tortoise tonight."
Mu Mu . Sheng also wanted to drink, so he took the initiative to send the turtle to the kitchen.
"You bastard, you are as smart as a monkey."
Ma Yuehong laughed and scolded.
She went to the vegetable patch in the yard and pulled out a few green onions. She thought that the tortoise weighed about ten kilograms and could make a lot of soup, so she said to Ji Beinian:
"Beinian, go call your grandfather and ask him to Come here for dinner tonight."
"By the way, call Nanbao's grandpa and grandma here too."
Ji Beinian hummed softly, but did not let go of Mu Nannan's hand.
He pursed his lips and asked slightly hesitantly,
"Can Nan Bao come with me?"
"Ah?"
Ma Yuehong was surprised.
