Because she went to bed early, Xiaomi also got up early the next day. She happened to catch the others just as they were preparing to leave. Xiaomi yawned and waved goodbye to them, then went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Why are you up so early today? Just in time to eat while it's hot. I made your favorite chive dumplings and some soy milk today."
Second Aunt brought the food over to Xiaomi. The soy milk was made by soaking the beans the previous night and grinding and boiling them fresh in the morning.
The dumplings had an egg and chive filling, so there was no need to cook eggs separately.
Xiaomi drank half a bowl of soy milk in one gulp. The rich bean aroma was simply wonderful.
"Mom, since it's spring and we're not hunting, I'll go with Xiaocao to pull some pig fodder and maybe gather some tasty wild herbs."
She was craving pigweed shoots. Last year, she scattered a lot of seeds and buried many old roots on the mountain, so they should have sprouted by now.
