Hu Jiaojiao is from the countryside. Due to her poor family background, she has been doing farm work since she was a child, and she is very good at these things.
She first took the pot to the river to wash the rice twice, brought it back with water, put it on the stove, picked up the flint from the shelf, and easily started a fire.
While the rice was cooking, she started to prepare the pork belly.
Hu Jiaojiao is preparing to make a pot of braised pork.
She didn't know if it was because she hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time, but she couldn't help drooling at the thought of the fragrant white rice with braised pork.
By the time Hu Jiaojiao had finished cutting the pork belly, the rice in the pot was ready.
She scooped out the cooked rice, placed it on a container to drain, and poured the remaining rice soup into the soup bowl, and a pot of rice soup was ready.
Half an hour later.
The sun has set, and the red sunset glow draws a long curtain across the sky.
Hu Jiaojiao’s braised pork is also ready.
It was a bit troublesome to serve a large pot of dozens of pounds of meat, so she simply took another pot from the space, replaced the pot with the meat, poured the drained rice into it, and simmered it on low heat.
"Strange, why haven't the cubs come back yet? Could it be that those naughty kids have come back to bully them again..."
After doing all this, Hu Jiaojiao looked at the sky and found that it was almost dark, but the cubs were nowhere to be seen.
Fox Jiaojiao was a little worried, so she covered the meat with the pot lid and went out to look for the cubs.
Not far away, she spotted a few small figures huddled under a tree.
There are many trees near the wooden house, blocking the view. If you don't make any noise and don't get close, it's hard to find someone hiding behind the trees.
There was a gentle breeze in the evening.
"Gurgle..."
Behind the old tree, the cubs smelled the rich meaty aroma in the air. Their mouths kept secreting saliva, and their stomachs beat like drums, constantly clamoring for meat.
"Brother, the food cooked by the vicious female smells so good!"
Long Linger was the first one who couldn't bear it anymore.
The other kids also had grim expressions on their faces, but they still held back.
That vicious female wished they would die, and they all knew that she couldn't be so kind to them.
If so, there is only one possibility, this is bait!
The eldest brother, Long Yu, said, "Let's go farther away, so we can't smell it anymore."
The cubs were just about to leave when they heard Fox Jiaojiao's voice.
"So you're hiding here. Come quickly. Mother has already prepared dinner."
Hu Jiaojiao stood behind the tree and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her cub was fine.
The cubs' bodies suddenly froze, with expressions of fear on their faces.
How did she get here
Are you here to arrest them
Seeing that they were standing there motionless, Hu Jiaojiao stretched out her hand, ready to go over and lead them back.
Unexpectedly, this action seemed to the kids like the devil from hell, and they were terrified.
“Run!”
"She's going to catch us."
Even though Fox Jiaojiao had a smile on her face, the cubs were still terrified. The nightmares in their memories came flooding back, and countless scenes of being beaten made them run away instinctively.
Fox Jiaojiao: "..."
Is she that scary? She won't eat them.
"ah!"
Long Linger was running at the back and accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
She was still holding the beast-formed Long Yao in her arms. Because she was using both hands to protect her brother, she fell on her back and her bones were aching.
"Ling'er!"
Long Yu and his companions noticed that Long Linger had fallen and stopped in worry.
Before he turned back to help Long Ling'er, he saw Hu Jiaojiao walk up to Long Ling'er with a frown and stretched out her claws.
Finished!
Ling'er is going to be beaten!
Long Linger closed her eyes in fear and held Long Yao tightly in her arms.
But the expected pain did not come. Instead, a pair of warm hands held her waist and lifted her up from the ground.
Hu Jiaojiao gently brushed the dust off Long Linger's body.
She asked softly, "Are you hurt? Mommy, have a look. Are you hurt anywhere?"
He found that her animal skin clothes were wet, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Long Linger opened her eyes and looked at Hu Jiaojiao in surprise.
Is she dazzled
Why is the vicious female so gentle today? She is even gentler than the mother in her dreams...
Hu Jiaojiao checked and found no wounds, so she took Long Yao from Long Linger's arms and held her little hand as they walked home.
"Your clothes are all wet. Let's go back and change into dry clothes and then eat."
Listening to the gentle voice, Long Linger's legs unconsciously followed Hu Jiaojiao.
Hu Jiaojiao knew that these cubs were very united, and as long as Long Linger went back with her, the other cubs would follow.
To influence the kids, we have to break them down one by one.
As expected, when they saw Long Linger being taken away, the remaining three cubs looked at each other and followed her reluctantly.
If the vicious female wanted to hit Ling'er, they would never let her go!
When she got home, Hu Jiaojiao discovered that there were no clothes for the cubs at home.
No wonder the kids would rather stay outside in wet clothes than come back.
Hu Jiaojiao immediately went into the house, took out a pair of scissors from the space, and cut the animal skin on the bed into four pieces.
Although there is a bit of smell, the original body was quite good to me, and the hide is very clean, so it should still be new.
When I came to the yard with the cut animal skins, I saw the four cubs standing stiffly, staring at the pot on the stove and licking their lips.
Even though they were extremely hungry, they did not dare to touch Hu Jiaojiao's things.
Long Yao was warming himself by the fire beside the stove. In addition to food, the cub also needed warmth, so Long Linger kept holding it in her arms.
Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward and said, "Come, take off your wet clothes and use these to make do with them. Mother will help you dry them and then change them back."
The five cubs stepped back one after another and looked at Hu Jiaojiao, with fear and disbelief in their eyes.
This is the most precious animal skin of the vicious female. She normally doesn't let them touch it. But she actually cut the skin and gave it to them
Seeing the cubs' vigilant eyes, Hu Jiaojiao had no choice but to turn her attention to Long Linger, who was the easiest to capture.
"Ling'er, come here, let me change your clothes, and then we'll have dinner!"
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and waved at Long Linger, trying her best to look friendly.
When she heard about eating, Long Linger was moved.
The female cub is weak and cannot resist hunger as well as her brothers. Her body is almost reaching its limit.
Looking at Hu Jiaojiao's gentle smile, she couldn't help but move her legs forward.
Seeing Long Linger walking towards her, Hu Jiaojiao showed a contented smile, gently helped her take off the wet animal skin clothes, and wrapped her in the animal skin.
The animal skin is very large. After being divided into four parts, it can be wrapped around the cub as a bathrobe.
"Okay, Ling'er is really good."
After changing clothes, Hu Jiaojiao rubbed Long Linger's head lovingly and praised her generously.
It was the first time that Long Linger was so close to Hu Jiaojiao, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"Ling'er, are you hungry? Mother made something delicious, do you want to eat it?"
It was rare that Zi Zi didn't reject her, so Hu Jiaojiao took the opportunity to build a good relationship with her.
Long Linger swallowed her saliva, glanced at the big pot next to her, and nodded, "I want to eat. Can I, can I eat it?"
"Of course you can. Mommy has cooked a lot. Not only today, but I will cook for you every day in the future."
Hu Jiaojiao looked at her seriously with a smile.
Long Linger's nose suddenly felt sore. No one had ever been so kind to her before. She choked up and said, "Mother, are you telling the truth? Will you beat us again?"
Maybe she had the purest mind, or maybe she was very hungry, but once she felt Hu Jiaojiao's kindness, she immediately forgot how she had been tortured in the past.
"Really, I was wrong before. I apologize to you. I won't beat you anymore in the future."
Hu Jiaojiao raised her hand to promise.
"Ling'er, how can you call her mother? Have you forgotten that you just touched her hide and she beat you so hard that you couldn't walk for half a month?"
Long Zhong shouted angrily from behind.
Long Linger was poured with a basin of cold water and immediately sobered up. There was a bit more fear in her eyes when she looked at Hu Jiaojiao.
