Chapter 412 Uncle Dong, what’s the matter?
The sound was as quiet as a mosquito's buzz, but it was exceptionally clear in this quiet courtyard.
Zhou Yue looked at the two little girls and felt like they looked familiar.
She frowned slightly, but couldn't remember anything, so she asked Sister Chunyan beside her.
"Sister Chunyan, why do these two little girls look so familiar? Whose girls are they?"
Sister Chunyan smiled and put the backpack in the yard.
"Last time Uncle Dong killed that big black bear, when the villagers came to exchange for bear meat, they brought green peppercorns. Have you forgotten?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yue finally remembered and nodded with a smile.
The last time the villagers came to exchange bear meat, there were two little girls who came with a small basket of green peppercorns and took a piece of bear meat back.
It turned out to be these two girls. I wonder what they are doing at Dong’s house today?
It was already late when they got home, so Zhou Yue and Sister Chunyan started preparing lunch.
We picked so many mushrooms today, so of course we have to make plans for lunch.
Soak one and a half pounds of dried mushrooms in water to clean out the pine needles and soil inside.
After washing, tear it into small pieces and put it in a basin for later use.
Hericium erinaceus is the most delicious when used to make soup, so Uncle Dong even killed a pheasant specially for this purpose.
Uncle Dong came to the kitchen carrying the cleaned pheasant, but did not leave after putting it down.
"Xiaoyue and Chunyan, uncle wants to tell you something!"
Zhou Yue scooped a large spoonful of wild boar oil and put it in the pot, then poured the dried mushrooms in and fried them until fragrant.
Zhou Yue asked as she stir-fried dried mushrooms.
"Uncle Dong, what's the matter?"
Uncle Dong looked at the two little girls in the yard and said.
"Juanzi and Xiaohua are going to eat at our house for a week, please make more for two people!"
Zhou Yue was a little surprised when she heard this. Why did these two girls want to eat at Dong's house? Did their parents agree?
Zhou Yue thought so and asked this question, and then she learned from Uncle Dong about the tragic life stories of these two little girls.
These two little girls have little relatives. The older girl Juanzi is now nine years old, and the younger girl Xiaohua is five years old. Their parents and grandparents are all gone.
My mother escaped from famine and has no relatives on her side.
After losing their loved ones, these two little girls had no food to eat and were very pitiful.
In those days when the harvest was poor, even adults could starve to death, let alone such a little girl.
Seeing that the two girls were about to die, the villagers really couldn't bear it.
So they discussed it together and finally decided to let them take turns eating at the villagers' homes.
One week from today, it will be their turn to come to Uncle Dong's house for dinner.
Zhou Yue couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she heard this. Children in this era are really pitiful.
Especially without the protection of relatives, it is simply hell mode.
Fortunately, the villagers in this village are very kind, otherwise, they would have entered reincarnation long ago.
After listening to what Uncle Dong said, Zhou Yue nodded.
"Don't worry, Uncle Dong. We'll cook for both of them!"
When Zhou Yue entered the yard just now, she found that the two little girls were very thin.
His arms and legs were so thin that it was scary. The health value on his head was only around 40, which was obviously a sub-healthy state.
Although they only ate at the Dong family for a week, Zhou Yue also wanted to give them good nourishment.
When making Hericium erinaceus and pheasant soup, Zhou Yue put a large tube of nutritional paste into it.
