The two had fought before, and the people in the Chen family's old house had seen and heard about it a lot. Now they were delivering water, and Old Man Chen was always uneasy, fearing that the second son's wife would do something again. He thought about asking his wife to check it out when he got home tonight.

Zheng Yuan had no idea how shocked her father-in-law and her eldest uncle's family were. She just wanted to finish weeding quickly and go home to lie down. She had never been so tired in her 20-plus years of life.

Chen Sanni went home to get a jar of water and walked towards Duan Minmin's field. When she passed by the old locust tree, she saw Chen Sizhu having fun with a few boys. After thinking for a while, she reminded him, "Sizhu, go home early in the afternoon for dinner."

Chen Sizhu looked up and saw that it was Sanni. He turned his head impatiently and said perfunctorily, "I know, I know."

Sanni was not angry and continued walking forward.

When I arrived at the field of Aunt Duan's home, I saw Aunt Duan slumped on the edge of the field without any image. I hurried over and said, "Aunt Duan, my mother asked me to bring you some water."

When Duan Minmin heard the voice, she didn't realize who it was Aunt Duan. When she raised her eyelids and saw it was Sanni, she realized that she was being called. She quickly propped herself up and climbed up with difficulty.

"Oh, Sanni, it's you. You're here to bring water to me. You're such a good girl. Thank you." Duan Minmin got up and pinched Sanni's face with a smile. She quickly took the water and gulped it down. Only then did she feel alive again.

He put down the jar and hurriedly called his three daughters: "Come here, drink some water and thank Sanni. This water just got out of home, it's cool and sweet." Taoer and her sisters hurried over to take the water and thank Sanni, then started drinking the water one after another.

Sanni felt a little embarrassed by Duan Minmin's pinch. Seeing them finish drinking the water, she whispered, "Auntie, I'll go back first. I'll go back and pick some pig grass."

Duan Minmin raised her hand and waved at her: "Bye~ Thank you Sanni, tell your mother to come to your aunt's house to cook in the afternoon. Oh no, eat."

Sanni didn't react to what goodbye meant. She just said quietly, "You're welcome," and walked away quickly.

After walking a little further, she realized, what? We are going to Aunt Duan's house for dinner this afternoon? No, cooking? She had to go back and ask her mother.

Tao'er and the others stared blankly at Sanni's back as she walked away and her mother's back as she waved and smiled foolishly. Are they having dinner together again in the afternoon?

Although the two meals we had together were very satisfying, and Aunt Zheng's cooking was also very delicious, who could afford to eat like this every day? Looking at the rice seedlings all over the ground, the harvest was not good, and the daughters who were sensible early on were also worried.

Sanni took a detour back home to get a can of water before going to the field. She pulled a few branches from the roadside and covered the can with water before telling Zheng Yuan that Duan Minmin asked them to go to her house to cook in the afternoon. Zheng Yuan was busy weeding and only replied "I know" without any special reaction.

Seeing that her mother readily agreed, Sanni stopped thinking and started to pull pig grass on the edge of the field skillfully.

Old Man Chen and Boss Chen in the field next to them were shocked again. Were they going to eat together again? This was really too good to be true. During this period of time, even brothers wouldn't eat together every day. Even if the conditions were bad, they had to have something juicy to eat together.

Old man Chen made up his mind again. He had to go to the second son's house no matter what. He couldn't let his second daughter-in-law continue to do this. The children were already pale and thin. Did they plan to tighten their belts after these few meals?

Soon Sanni had pulled a full basket of pig grass. She struggled to carry the basket, which was bigger than she was, and said to Zheng Yuan, "Mom, I'll carry the pig grass back first. I'll go to Aunt Duan's house for dinner later. I have nothing to do when I go back, so I'll go back to the fields to pull weeds."

Hearing the sound, Zheng Yuan looked up and saw Sanni carrying such a big basket of pig grass, and hurriedly called out, "Hey, leave it there, and let your eldest and second brothers carry it later. It's too hot, so don't come back. Just wash some vegetables you want to eat and take them to your aunt Duan's house later. Oh, by the way, cook some beans and rice until they are soft, and mother will come back to prepare it later."

"It's okay, mom. I'm plenty strong. I'll clean up at home." Sanni felt warm at heart when she heard her mother's concern. She replied cheerfully while carrying the pig feed on her back.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Zheng Yuan was almost exhausted, the sun gradually set, and the people working in the fields packed up their tools and started to go home.

"Let's go home. It's impossible to finish this in one day." Zheng Yuan straightened his aching waist and shouted to the three children.

The three children also looked tired. They responded and walked to the edge of the field, washed their feet with the water in the field, put on their shoes and walked home. The Chen family also packed up their tools and went home.

When they got home, Sanni had already tidied the house and washed everyone's dirty clothes and hung them out to dry. Zheng Yuan looked at her sensible little daughter and couldn't help but pinch her face and praised her, "Sanni, you're awesome! You're really my little cotton-padded jacket!"

Sanni lowered her head shyly. Why did her mother suddenly like pinching her face like Aunt Duan?

Seeing this scene, Dashu and Erhe suddenly felt envious. They wanted their mother to pinch their faces like this and get a compliment. Suddenly, they thought about how old they were and blushed in embarrassment.

Zheng Yuan had no idea that her two older sons had such thoughts. She fetched some water and washed her face. She instantly felt her pores were relaxed. She wanted to take a bath, but unfortunately she didn't have the conditions to do so.

Forget it, I'll get some water and wipe my body in the room when I get back in the evening. The fact that Amin was able to rub out such a ball from her body this morning was enough to show how dirty her body was.

After asking Erhe to call Sizhu, the family went to Duan Minmin with the food.

When we got to Duan Minmin's place, it seemed that they had just returned.

Tao'er had already cooked the millet porridge. Duan Minmin was half dead behind the stove trying to keep the fire going. When she saw Zheng Yuan coming in, her eyes lit up: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Chef, your stage is ready for you."

Zheng Yuan smiled and said "Puh", then looked around to see what dishes he could prepare.

When Sanni went to the ridge of the field, she picked a lot of goose intestines, washed them and brought them here. She can stir-fry a bowl of goose intestines; plus the cooked small sparrow beans, she can add some kimchi to make a pot of sauerkraut, bean and rice soup. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

Two dishes are not enough for so many people, so Zheng Yuan asked Xing'er to take her to the vegetable garden to see what other dishes could be cooked.

Duan Minmin's family also cultivated several vegetable plots in the backyard. Zheng Yuan was speechless when he looked at the sparse vegetable plots. These two old ladies were indeed mortal enemies. They even used the time they spent on fighting to tidy up the vegetable plots.

After wandering around, she managed to pick a few large radishes and some green onions and returned to the kitchen. The girls in the room watched her skillfully chop the radishes into shreds and mix them together, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Soon, the food was served, and the children all crowded into the kitchen to wait for the meal. After eating a few meals cooked by Zheng Yuan, the children of the two families were already deeply impressed by her cooking skills. It was not that her cooking was so delicious, but in this era with few cooking methods and little food, what Zheng Yuan cooked was enough to capture the stomachs of these children.

After a tiring day, no one had the energy to talk and they just started eating without slurping.

After finishing the meal, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin leaned against the eaves without any image, feeling dizzy from the food. They actually felt strangely happy. Their threshold of happiness was really lowered to the ground.
