"Let's take a good rest at home these days. I asked Xiaoli and Grandma Sun to buy a lot of things today. We can eat whatever we want these days." Li Mingxia said with a smile.

Now that there are more people in the family, many things cannot be left out for no reason. Today, I asked Xiaoli and Grandma Sun to buy a lot of things to cover up my tracks. This way, even if I occasionally take out some things that are not available here, no one will suspect anything.

"I really want to eat the fish porridge you made. It feels like I haven't eaten it for a long time. Although I eat fish on weekdays, I don't know why it doesn't taste the same no matter how I eat it."

Zhang thought about it and suddenly felt like eating fish.

Li Mingxia nodded, "Okay, we have several fresh fish at home. I'll make fish porridge for you tomorrow. Anyway, we don't have anything else to do right now. Think about what else you want to eat, and I'll make it for you tomorrow!"

Zhang smiled and said, "I just need to say one thing. Tomorrow when you cook, your two greedy sisters and Zhengde Zhengpin will come to bother you to make food. If everyone says one or two things, will you still be able to handle it?"

Li Mingxia thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he smiled: "It's okay, the younger one said two things, my brother and my brother said one thing, my father said one thing, and the rest is up to mother. I'll make whatever mother wants to eat!"

Zhang laughed when she heard this and nodded repeatedly, "If your father heard this, he would probably accuse you of favoring your mother again."

Li Mingxia was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she nodded confidently, "Yes! I am partial to mom! Mom is the best to me. If I am not partial to mom, who else should I be partial to? Isn't mom the most partial to us three sisters?"

Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong, one holding their mother and the other holding their elder sister, looked at them obediently and listened to them talking. When they heard Li Mingxia say this, they blinked their big eyes and looked at Zhang, which melted their mother's hearts.

"Yes! I love you three sisters the most! As long as our family is doing well, I will be satisfied."

They returned home with laughter along the way. Although they were not exposed to the cold wind in the carriage, Li Mingxia was still a little worried and asked Ma Pozi and Xiao Tao to boil ginger soup.

"Miss, Shen Lu has prepared it. She said that the weather is cold today and the ladies need to drive away the cold when they come back. I originally thought that I wouldn't need it, but I didn't expect that Shen Lu was right. This girl is much more thoughtful than us!" said Mrs. Ma with a smile.

Li Mingxia glanced at Mrs. Ma who was talking with a smile, and suddenly started laughing too.

"You have all been very thoughtful. Each of you will get 200 coins and you will have a day off tomorrow. You can go wherever you want. Just come back before dark. Tell them later." Li Mingxia said with a smile.

When Ma Pozi heard this, she was naturally happy, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not a good idea: "If we all go out, who will take care of the family? How can this work?"

Li Mingxia waved her hand: "Don't worry, you can just go out for a stroll. I promised my mother that I would make delicious food for her tomorrow. You don't need to serve me at home."

"You don't have to worry about coming back to cook dinner. Just come back at dinner time. I'll let you taste my cooking tomorrow!"

Ma Pozi and the others looked at each other and thanked them with a smile.

The next morning, Li Mingxia got up and found the house quiet.

"You went out so early?" Li Mingxia went to the kitchen and took a look. Breakfast was already ready and placed on the table. It looked steaming hot and you could tell at a glance that it was delicious.

The food was on the table, but the people were gone. "How could a store be open so early in the morning?"

But Li Mingxia was not angry even though she was complaining. After Zhang got up, she said the same thing as Li Mingxia.

"But today, I still have to trouble you to help me." Li Mingxia was happy yesterday and promised that all the servants in the house would go out. Now he can only ask Zhang for help.

After Zhang had eaten her fill, she felt warm all over and said, "Why is this so hard? I've done this kind of work before. Besides, it's been a long time since I've helped my daughter properly. I'm so happy!"

They were all used to working, so this little bit of work was nothing to either Li Mingxia or Zhang.

"I don't know how many times I've seen you make this fish porridge. Every time I watch you make it, I never quite get it right. I've also tried to follow your lead, but the taste is so far worse than yours." Zhang said with some frustration as she watched Li Mingxia slicing the fish quickly. Each slice was very thin and even.

"It's okay. Everyone's cooking tastes different. Mom, if you like it, just tell me when you want to eat it and I'll cook it for you. It's okay to eat fish. You can eat it anytime. Fish is very nutritious!" After Li Mingxia threw the processed fish slices into the rice porridge, he turned around and said to Zhang with a smile.

"What about getting married?" Zhang said subconsciously.

Suddenly, she remembered that her daughter hated this topic the most, so she quickly changed the topic: "It's okay, I've let it go now. If she doesn't want to marry, then she won't! If we meet a good man, we'll let him marry into the family. If you don't meet someone you like, you'll stay by my side for the rest of your life!"

Li Mingxia smiled brightly and lowered her head to concentrate on cooking the fish porridge in her hand. After a while, Li Zhengde and the others knew that it was Li Mingxia who would cook today, and they came to the kitchen one after another, fearing that they would be left behind.

However, Li Mingxia had already said that the two little rascals could order two dishes, and the remaining person could only order one dish that he or she liked.

"It's just me and my mother who are cooking at home today. If you all keep talking about something, then my mother and I won't have to do anything today. We will just cook for you in the kitchen!" Li Mingxia bluntly rejected Li Zhengde's request to order a few more dishes.

"Okay, then I want to eat crab rolls. Sister, I know this dish takes a lot of time to make. If there are no crabs at home, you can just make it casually. If there are crabs, I will handle the crabs and peel the crab meat, so you don't have to worry about it at all!" Li Zhengde said immediately.

The most time-consuming part of making this crab roll is peeling the crab meat. Without this step, all you have to do is pay attention to the taste, which is a piece of cake for Li Mingxia.

Seeing how Li Zhengde understood, Li Mingxia nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, then peel more and make more at once so that everyone can have some. Otherwise, it would be too unfair if only you eat it!"
