Chapter 109. Spring pancakes

It was only ten o'clock when the mother and sons brought these things home.

"Mother, I'm hungry," said San Wa as he held onto his mother's legs.

"Er Wa, go and make your brother some malted milk." Lin Qing He ordered.

"I want it too." Er Wa declared.

"Then make two gla.s.ses." Lin Qing He nodded.

Er Wa went to make the malted milk. San Wa happily tailed his second brother.

Lin Qing He started to cook pig food.

The two pigs that were brought back last winter were hungry at this moment in the backyard.

After the pig food was cooked, Lin Qing He scooped it and feed it to the pig. She had also scooped some for the chicken. There were two additional ones in the chicken pen. They were intended for Zhou Qing Bai. If he didn't eat well in the summer harvest, it'll be really unbearable.

After finis.h.i.+ng feeding the pigs and chickens, Lin Qing He started to make the dough swiftly. She planned to make spring pancakes for lunch.

Spring pancakes were perfect for spring days.

As the dough rested, she scrubbed the pot again and then went to the backyard to cut a handful of tender leeks. She shredded the potatoes and chopped the onions as preparation.

She took out some pork from the s.p.a.ce, cut it into shred, and fried five eggs. After all these ingredients were prepared, the dough was ready.

Lin Qing He began to knead and roll the dough again.

Once she made the whole family's share, Zhou Da Wa happened to come back from school.

"Mother, you bought gla.s.s marbles and children's books for them. What did you buy for me?" Zhou Da Wa put down his schoolbag and came over.

"I bought school supplies for you. It's on your Kang. Didn't you see them?" Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll.

"Mother, did you buy me something else?" Of course, Zhou Da Wa saw it, but that was not what he wanted.

"Other? I did want to buy it for you, but I didn't bring enough money this time." Lin Qing He responded.

"Don't coax me, Mother." Zhou Da Wa didn't believe it.

"Then you treat it as me coaxing you." Lin Qing He waved her hand.

"Mother." Zhou Da Wa began to be discontent.

Lin Qing He laughed: "Do you want a football?"

"Football?" Zhou Da Wa's eyes widened.

"That's right. However, it's not cheap, more than twenty yuans for a football." Lin Qing He said.

At this time, football was more than twenty yuans. It was really dear.

What Lin Qing He saw at the shopping mall was brand new and it never came in stock before.

As for not bringing enough money, that was impossible. She collected all the money and coupons in the s.p.a.ce. She just wanted to leave Da Wa hanging for a bit.

"More than twenty yuans?" Although Zhou Da Wa was pleasantly surprised, he was immediately stunned. In his view, over twenty yuan was a lot.

"How much money did you save with Er Wa? Bring it over to me, I'll join the fund to see if it's enough." Lin Qing He began to peel the skin and said.

"We just saved a yuan." Zhou Da Wa stated.

"One yuan is also money." Lin Qing He smiled: "Go ask Er Wa about that football, he also saw it."

Zhou Da Wa came over and asked Er Wa. Er Wa said, "What do you want to do with that? It's for kicking. Eldest Brother, come and read the children's book with me. It's interesting."

"I want it," Zhou Da Wa persisted.

"Then you pester Mother and let her buy it for you," Er Wa said without looking up.

"Mother told me to come and get the money." Zhou Da Wa said, "Go take the money out."

The money they got from selling toothpaste tube was collected by Er Wa. Their toothpaste was used up quite quickly because they have to brush their teeth day and night. The toothpaste tube was the two brothers' source of income.

For the time being, San Wa didn't know what the money was, so he didn't join them.

Toothpaste tubes were actually exchanged for sugar, but sugar wasn't something rare for both of them. It was available at home, no matter whether it was brown sugar, rock sugar, white sugar or milk candy, or even malted candy. So it wasn't like they never had it before.

So the brothers settled on exchanging for money.

Bit by bit, they saved a yuan.

Of course, it was occasionally used to buy things to eat, otherwise, there would have been more.

"What's our money enough for?" Er Wa came to a halt and said.

"Less talking. Just take the money out quickly." Zhou Da Wa urged.

Er Wa went to get the money. It was placed in a box. He came over with his eldest brother to find their mother.

"Mother, are you going to buy us football?" Er Wa directly asked.

"Yes, that's why your money is taken out to pool in together." Lin Qing He nodded.

"But this is what we saved after great length and it's not much. Mother, you buy it for us," said Er Wa.

"My money is also earned by your father after all that hard work. What's more, I have to buy you this and that. This time, I also made new clothes for you." Lin Qing He clarified.

Er Wa hugged the box, sighed halfway through it, and handed it to her before saying: "Mother, take it. You must buy a good one for us."

"OK." Lin Qing He dipped her head and promised them to buy it next time.

"I will go with you next time," Zhou Da Wa quickly declared.

"Don't you need to go to school? And I can't take all three of you. Not possible." Lin Qing He refused.

Zhou Da Wa said: "But they can go."

"They are still small, while you are all grown-up. Apart from your Father, you are the biggest man in the family." Lin Qing He held one of his hands.

Zhou Da Wa was slightly satisfied, so he didn't fuss with his mother: "Mother, what shall we eat for lunch?"

"Spring pancake." Lin Qing He replied: "Go and see if your father has come back."

Zhou Da Wa headed out to check.

Then he came back with his father.

"The water is scooped out for you, go wash and prepare to eat." Lin Qing He directed to him.

Seeing the fatigue between his eyebrows, Lin Qing He was also a little bit distressed. But there was no other way. Making some delicious treats for him and keeping the house in order, was also a kind of comfort.

Naturally, it was needless to say how Lin Qing He's culinary skill was. She had finished making the spring pancakes, just needed to wash hands and eat them.

"Mother, this sauce is really delicious." Zhou Da Wa uttered.

"Sweet and sour." Er Wa also agreed.

"Yummy." This was San Wa's evaluation.

Lin Qing He was also slightly satisfied. It was tomato sauce. She made it herself with tomatoes from the backyard. She made it last year. She had put it in her s.p.a.ce and there was no problem. Taking it out now, it was still tasty.

"Is it not to your taste?" Lin Qing He turned to Zhou Qing Bai.

"It's delicious." Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her. In the food department, his wife didn't need him to cut in.

"I will make more chili sauce for you this year. You might not be used to eating this sweet and sour tomato sauce. Chili sauce is perfect for you." Lin Qing He said.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

"Go rest after eating." Lin Qing He urged.

It was indeed very tiring now that it was the spring plowing period. Even if Zhou Qing Bai was physically strenuous, after all the whole morning work, it was impossible to say it wasn't exhausting.

So after he finished the spring pancake, he went to rest first. After all, he'll continue to work away in the afternoon.
