The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Shen Yan looked at the two of them, her heart filled with relief and warmth. She knew that her efforts were recognized and loved by the children.

Aunt Wang also looked at the two children eating so happily and smiled with satisfaction, secretly feeling lucky to have a good neighbor like Shen Yan.

She felt that it was a blessing for her children to receive care from Shen Yan.

"By the way, Mrs. Shen, I want to ask you a favor." Looking at the innocent looks of the two children, Aunt Wang suddenly looked embarrassed, as if she had some unreasonable request.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Shen Yan felt that it didn't matter if Aunt Wang asked for anything now, whether it was to help take care of the children or even to borrow some money, as she still had some spare money.

Aunt Wang said slowly, "His father and I went to work, and the housekeeper hopes to live there. Although we live in the servants' room, we don't have to run back and forth, which saves time, and we also have food. I would like to ask you to help me take care of the two children, and I will give you some money."

As she spoke, Aunt Wang untied the purse from her belt and counted the copper coins inside.

"No need!" Shen Yan quickly refused, "What money do you want?"

"It's just about taking care of their food and clothes. It doesn't cost much. Just follow me and eat!"

Shen Yan was deeply moved by Aunt Wang's sincerity and concern. She knew that Aunt Wang's situation was not easy.

Although she is not rich, she is willing to lend a helping hand when she sees such a family in need.

Shen Yan gently patted Aunt Wang's hand and said softly, "Aunt Wang, don't worry. I am willing to help you take care of Wang Jun and Wang Lin. They are like my own brothers and sisters. I will do my best to take care of them."

After hearing Shen Yan's reply, Aunt Wang smiled with satisfaction. She looked at Shen Yan gratefully and said, "Mrs. Shen, you are such a good person. I am so grateful. I am relieved to leave the child to you. You are our family's great benefactor."

Shen Yan shook her head and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, you are too polite."

"We are all family, and we should help each other. I will take care of Wang Jun and Wang Lin like my own brothers and sisters."

After hearing what Shen Yan said, Aunt Wang felt more at ease. She knew that Shen Yan was a reliable person and could safely leave the child to her care. She said with emotion: "Mrs. Shen, you are so kind-hearted. I really did a great deed in my previous life."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, you and Uncle can go without worry. I will take care of them."

So, Shen Yan and Aunt Wang discussed the arrangements for taking care of the children. Shen Yan agreed to look after Wang Jun and Wang Lin in her free time every day, helping them with their homework and taking care of their daily life.

Shen Yan looked at Aunt Wang Er's eyes, felt her worry and helplessness, and her heart softened.

She knew that Aunt Wang's family was not well off and that it was not easy to take care of two children, especially when their parents were away from home to work.

"Aunt Wang, don't worry. I am willing to help take care of Wang Jun and Wang Lin."

Shen Yan's voice was gentle but firm. "They are like my own brothers and sisters. I will do my best to take good care of them."

After hearing what Shen Yan said, Aunt Wang showed a look of gratitude and relief. She knew she had not made a mistake. She tied her purse again and put it back on her belt, and the worry in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Mrs. Shen, thank you, really."

Aunt Wang said with emotion, "I will make money as soon as possible and repay you."

Shen Yan shook her head and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, you are welcome. We are a family, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

After hearing this, Aunt Wang felt warm in her heart, knowing that her child would be well taken care of and loved by Shen Yan.

She looked at Wang Jun and Wang Lin with emotion, feeling that she was really blessed to have such good neighbors and such sensible children.

The midday sun shines into the kitchen through the window, warm and bright.

Shen Yan stood in front of the stove, holding fresh lotus root and pumpkin in her hands, and began to prepare lunch.

She first peeled the lotus root, washed it, and then cut it into thin slices with a knife. Each slice was even and thin as paper. The lotus root slices exuded a faint fragrance, which made people feel comfortable and peaceful.

Then, Shen Yan peeled the pumpkin, removed the seeds, and cut it into small pieces. The pumpkin flesh was bright yellow and tender, and it looked very appetizing.

Shen Yan lit the stove, placed a wide pot on the fire, and poured water in. The water gradually boiled, bubbling and emitting a fragrance.

She gently put in the lotus root slices and pumpkin cubes, turning the spatula to allow them to be evenly soaked in water.

As the steam rises, the soup gradually becomes thicker and exudes an enticing aroma.

Shen Yan took out a handful of white rice, washed it, put it into the pot and stirred it evenly.

The rice grains roll in the boiling soup, releasing a light sweet fragrance, blending with the lotus root slices and pumpkin.

Finally, Shen Yan sprinkled a little salt and pepper and seasoned evenly.

She continued to stir carefully, making sure every bite was evenly soaked up with the flavorful seasoning.

After a while, a pot of fragrant lotus root cake pumpkin soup was ready.

Shen Yan poured it into a bowl. The light yellow soup was dotted with tender yellow pumpkin chunks and crystal clear lotus root slices. It looked refreshing and delicious.

She brought the soup to the table and invited Aunt Wang and the two children to enjoy it together.

The afternoon time is filled with the warmth and happiness of home.

The two children were sweating as they ate the fragrant lotus root cake and pumpkin soup, savoring every bite with satisfaction.

Their faces were filled with satisfied and happy smiles, and they praised Shen Yan's cooking skills from time to time.

After dinner, Aunt Zhang was busy clearing the dishes and tidying up the table. Shen Yan took Wang Jun and Wang Lin out to pick wild vegetables in the mountains.

The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the three of them were walking on a small mountain path, their laughter and chattering endlessly.

Along the way, they discovered many fresh wild vegetables, including tender dandelions, tender leaves, wild onions, wild celery and so on.

Wang Jun and Wang Lin excitedly held the baskets, picking wild vegetables, chatting and laughing from time to time.

Shen Yan patiently guided them, telling them the techniques of picking wild vegetables, and which wild vegetables are edible and which are not. She taught them to love nature and not to destroy the growing environment of plants.

The three of them worked together and not only harvested abundant wild vegetables, but also enhanced their feelings for each other.

In this simple and happy moment, they felt the warmth and happiness of home, and also realized the importance of helping and caring for each other.

That afternoon, they returned with baskets full of various wild vegetables.

The family returned home and Shen Yan began to prepare dinner, while Wang Jun and Wang Lin washed wild vegetables and prepared to cook them into delicious dishes.
