Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

When Yang Qingqing entered the room, she heard Ma Liyue calling the children to eat.

"It's time to eat! Come here quickly, stop playing, and play after you finish eating."

"Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you make? I brought back three dishes from the restaurant as a snack."

As he said this, he placed the lunch box in front of Ma Liyue and shook it.

Ma Liyue took a look at the lunch box and said, "Don't be like this all the time! We are a family. If you keep doing this, I will be embarrassed to let you in! Besides, we have everything at home. You and your children don't need money to live! If you need anything in the future, you can't do it without money. Sometimes I can't contact your second brother so quickly."

Yang Qingqing also knew that her second sister-in-law was doing this for her own good. Although her words were a bit harsh, they were also for the sake of the family.

So she generously said that she would not bother with her and just pretend she didn't hear it.

"It's been a while since I last had food. Do you want to eat? Wendan, Wenran, Wenxuan, Wenjing, come and see what delicious food we brought."

In fact, she didn't need to call them. As soon as they saw Yang Qingqing coming back, they ran over happily because they knew that Yang Qingqing would definitely bring back delicious food.

It's always like this, or I'll just take them to a restaurant for dinner, which is why they like Yang Qingqing so much

"Aunt, what did you bring? Why do I smell the smell of braised pork?" Wen Yuan pouted his nose and sniffed.

"Your nose is quite useful!"

"Really, Auntie, you bought braised pork! It's my favorite. Is there anything else delicious? I can't wait."

"Oh! I know you're anxious, and you've even come up with this idiom. Since you have such a keen nose, why don't you go and smell it again to see if you can still smell it. If you get the answer right, I'll make the decision and give you an extra piece of braised pork."

Wen Yuan was motivated when he heard this. After all, there were too many monks and too little meat. It would be great if he could have one more piece.

However, he tried to get closer to the lunch box, but he didn't smell anything special. So his little brain, which was particularly smart about food, worked very fast, thinking about what Yang Qingqing liked to buy in the past. As long as he guessed one right, it would be fine.

"I feel like there should be one fried egg and one fried cabbage"

The two things Wenyuan mentioned are indeed what Yang Qingqing likes to buy. The main reason is that she thinks that no matter what, there must be vegetables on the table for a meal, whether it is cabbage, potatoes or something else.

"You're sure you don't want to change it! Then I'll open it. Do you have any other opinions? Whoever guesses correctly will get a reward."

"Oh, wait, I think there must be fried sausages, and the other one must be fried potatoes."

Wen Dan disagrees with Wen Yuan's statement. Although she doesn't have a good nose, she has brains.

Anyway, just say two names of dishes, and tell us whether you are right or not. If you happen to guess one correctly, it will be a benefit.

The other people all looked at each other without saying anything.

Yang Qingqing asked one last time, "No one of you guessed it, but I opened it? Did I really open it?"

Everyone nodded.

"Okay, I will definitely guess one right, and I will definitely get an extra piece of meat." Wen Yuan closed his eyes and whispered, but everyone heard what he said.

“Thump, thump, thump…open your eyes and take a look.”

I saw a lunch box of braised pork, a lunch box of braised lion's head, and another one of fried bean sprouts.

Wen Yuan and Wen Dan didn't guess any of them correctly. They were obviously disappointed, but they soon became happy when they saw the delicious food.

"How is it? This dish is good! I saw lion's head and thought we haven't eaten it for a long time, so I bought it."

Ma Liyue saw the vegetables Yang Qingqing bought. She actually liked them very much, but she was afraid of spending money, so she usually didn't want to buy them.

So I asked, "Half of them are braised pork and lion's head meat, bought separately. Today we have this, tomorrow we have that. I didn't expect to have both today. It seems that you are lucky today, Qingqing."
