There are several peach trees planted behind the Zhou family's house.

In the spring season, the peach blossoms are in bloom.

Wait a few months and you can eat sweet peaches.

Looking at the peach gum on the peach tree, Zhou Ran's mind moved, he walked to the peach tree and picked the peach gum from the tree.

This peach gum is a good thing. Not only is it rich in nutrients, but it can also beautify the skin and replenish qi and blood.

It is estimated that people in this generation do not know that peach gum can be eaten, and Zhou Ran's memory is that he has never eaten peach gum.

I thought that the conditions at home were very poor at this time, and everyone could not afford good food.

Bring some peach gum back to supplement the nutrition for the Zhou family.

With this in mind, Zhou Ran picked all the peach gum from the tree.

She remembered that many other families in the production team also planted peach trees. After eating their own, they could go to other families to pick some.

After picking the peach gum, Zhou Ran returned to Zhou's house.

We have to deliver water to Zhou's family later.

Zhou Ran thought about boiling the peach gum, and later gave the sweet water boiled with the peach gum to the Zhou family to drink.

The peach gum water is sweet and tastes very good.

At this time, Zhou's family was not at home, so Zhou Ran went to the kitchen alone and planned to get busy.

Soon she encountered her first problem.

She has never used the earthen stove at home and doesn't know how to use it.

It was quite easy to watch the Zhou family make a fire, but when I started making a fire, I soon realized that I was overthinking it.

I took a match and burned the torch in the stove hole for a long time, but I didn't see the torch ignite. Instead, I was choked by the thick smoke coming out of the stove hole.

Zhou Ran quickly came out of the kitchen and coughed several times while covering his chest.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" At this time, a little girl who looked six or seven years old was carrying a backpack. Seeing Zhou Ran coughing so violently, he hesitated for a moment as if he was afraid to approach her, but in the end he still

He hurriedly rushed to Zhou Ran.

The little girl's basket was filled with pigweed. This time she came back to get pigweed for home.

Zhou Ran saw the little girl. She was the daughter of the second wife, Zhou Ran's niece, Zhou Jiayuan.

The little girl has just turned six years old this year. She is thin and small and has no flesh on her face.

When looking at Zhou Ran, Zhou Jiayuan's eyes were filled with worry.

Zhou Ran could tell that Zhou Jiayuan was really worried about him.

It seems that He Chunhua's daily brainwashing education is not in vain.

Zhou Ran hurriedly said, "My sister-in-law is fine. She was just planning to boil water, but she couldn't light the fire and was choked by the thick smoke."

Zhou Jiayuan nodded clearly, "Sister-in-law, just be fine.

Do you want to boil water? Jiayuan can help you light the fire!"

Zhou Ran's eyes were filled with surprise, "Jiayuan, can you make a fire?"

Zhou Jiayuan nodded heavily, and then replied with an affirmative look, "Sister-in-law, I can do it. This is very simple. I have burned it for my mother many times!"

Zhou Ran: "..."

I feel like I have been shocked, I am such a waste, I can’t even compare to other people’s children.

"Okay, Jiayuan, you help my sister light the fire. Later, my sister will boil the water and give it to your father, your milk, and your father and mother."

The little girl responded and ran to the kitchen to help light the fire.

The little girl is really not a boaster, she is very busy with her work.

She first put some sticks in the stove hole, then grabbed a handful of pine hairs and put them under the sticks, and lit a fire with a match. The pine hairs burned all of a sudden, and the sticks were burned by the fire raised by the pine hairs.

Lit it, and it will make a "pop" sound when it burns.

Zhou Ran looked on and expressed that he had learned.

Then he looked at Zhou Jiayuan with admiration, "Jiayuan, you are so awesome, much better than my sister-in-law, who can't even do it!"

Zhou Jiayuan blushed after being praised by Zhou Ran.

In the past, my sister-in-law would only scold her and tell her to do this or that when she saw her, but now my sister-in-law seems to have changed. She is so gentle and even praises her.

Zhou Jiayuan thinks her current sister-in-law is very good and hopes she will stay like this.

Zhou Ran touched Zhou Jiayuan's little head and started to work.

Add a few ladles of water to the pot, then put the washed peach gum into the water and cook together.

Wait for the water to boil and cook for a while.

Zhou Jiayuan obediently helped Zhou burn the fire.

When it was almost done, Zhou Ran asked Zhou Jiayuan to put down the heat.

She stirred the pot a few times with a shovel, stirring up the peach gum and melting it into the water.

Holding the bowl, Zhou Ran scooped some out and took a sip.

Yeah, it's sweet and tastes pretty good.

In fact, the taste is secondary, the main thing is that it contains nutrients, can beautify the skin, replenish qi and blood, and is beneficial to both men and women.

Zhou Ran put the water into the kettle with satisfaction and would send some to the Zhou family later.

Zhou Ran also filled a bowl for Zhou Jiayuan. After waiting for the water to cool down a bit, he said to Zhou Jiayuan, "Jiayuan, try to see if the water cooked by my sister-in-law is good."

Zhou Jiayuan wondered if there was anything else that tasted good or bad about water.

But thinking that it was her sister-in-law who brought her the water, she had to drink it in honor of her sister-in-law.

After Zhou Jiayuan tasted the water, her face was suddenly filled with surprise.

"Sister-in-law, did you put sugar in the water? It's so sweet and delicious!"

The little girl said, and continued to drink water, as if she was treating it like a treasure and was reluctant to take a sip, but tasted it slowly.

The living conditions in this era were very difficult. For rural people, even brown sugar and white sugar were rare things.

If you want to buy candy, you must have money and candy coupons.

Generally speaking, it is very good for a woman to drink brown sugar water during confinement.

There are very few opportunities for children at home to eat sweets.

Precisely because it is not easy to eat, the little girl will feel particularly delicious after drinking this sweet water.

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "It's not that sugar is added, my sister-in-law picked peach gum and cooked it. If you like to drink it, just drink more. There is still some in the pot.

When your brother and sister come back, you let them put it in the pot by themselves, while my sister-in-law goes to bring water to your father, you, and them."

Zhou Jiayuan nodded heavily, "Well, sister-in-law, go ahead."

Zhou Ran took the basket from home and put the kettle in it.

Then Zhou Ran took the bowls from home and packed them up before going to the area where the production team was doing farm work.

This was the first time Zhou Ran went to the production team's fields after traveling through time.

I've been lying in bed recovering from illness for the past few days and haven't had a chance to come out.

Fortunately, she has the memory of the original owner, so she can figure out the way.

Zhou Ran came out with a basket, which attracted a lot of attention from the production team.

Everyone knows that the niece of the captain fell into the water because of that Song Zhiqing.

The atmosphere at this time was relatively conservative, and it was very unethical for an unmarried girl like Zhou Ran to blatantly stalk a gay man.

But considering that Zhou Ran's uncle was the captain of the production team, no one dared to say anything for fear of offending the captain and having a hard time.
