Li Zhiqiang thought to himself that this rice-flavored preserved egg and lean meat porridge must be delicious, so he should quickly wash up and go out to eat.

After a while, Li Zhiqiang came out of the bathroom and sat at the dining table. He looked at the steaming century egg and lean meat porridge in front of him, his heart full of anticipation.

When Li Zhiqiang picked up the spoon and gently scooped a spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up. The porridge had a delicate and smooth texture, and the delicious taste of the preserved egg and the fragrance of the lean meat blended perfectly together, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.

"Yingying, how did you make this porridge? How come it is so smooth?" Li Zhiqiang put down the spoon and asked in surprise.

"I just looked at the fire, I didn't do anything." Xu Yingying smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Wife, Yingying is really talented. She must have cooked it with some slow fire." Li Zhiqiang said matter-of-factly, his eyes full of admiration. As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Xu Yingying's head, as if praising an excellent chef.

"Hubby, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" Qin Shu certainly thought Yingying's porridge was delicious, but she couldn't help but laugh when she heard her husband's exaggerated praise. She turned to look at Xu Yingying and said gently, "Yingying, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. You made it very delicious, and we all like it."

"I think what Dad said makes a lot of sense." Li Tongxin also agreed with Li Zhiqiang's statement. She nodded in agreement while eating the porridge. "I've never eaten such delicious preserved egg and lean meat porridge. It's even better than what you buy outside."

"I don't know, maybe it just happened to be delicious today." Xu Yingying was also a little embarrassed by Aunt Qin's words. Xu Yingying's face gradually turned red. In order not to be discovered, she lowered her head and continued to eat the porridge in her bowl, but her heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

"Cousin, you're too modest!" Li Tongxin said as she finished the porridge in front of her and prepared to get a second bowl. As she stood up, she said to Qin Shu, "Mom, is there any more in the pot?"

Qin Shu smiled and replied: "Also, do you want to eat two bowls? Be careful not to overeat."

Li Tongxin responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom, I can still eat another bowl!" After that, she quickly walked into the kitchen and filled a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge.

When she returned to the dining table, Qin Shu saw the full bowl of porridge in her hand and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Even if it tastes good, you can't eat so much at once. Give me half of the porridge in your bowl." As she said that, she pushed her bowl over.

Li Tongxin looked at Qin Shu reluctantly, trying to win him over by acting like a spoiled child: "Really?"

However, Xu Yingying, who was standing by, also agreed with Qin Shu's opinion and suggested, "Cousin, you can eat lunch later if you want, but you really can't eat too much at once."

Faced with the two people's advice, Li Tongxin sighed helplessly and could only obediently share some of the porridge in her bowl with Qin Shu's bowl.

Li Zhiqiang looked at his daughter's porridge, as if he had robbed her of something she loved. He said, "Yingying, come over next time and have this preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

"Yes, yes, cousin, please continue to do this next time." Li Tongxin agreed.

"You two, father and daughter, don't you think about how early Yingying has to get up to make this breakfast? Yingying, don't bother them. Can't you order the delicious century egg and lean meat porridge outside?" Qin Shu was afraid that Xu Yingying would think that their family only wanted her to come over to cook for them, and would not come over in the future.

"It's okay, Auntie. If I get up early again next time, I'll do it for everyone again. But next time I may not wake up as early as today." Xu Yingying understood what Auntie Qin meant, so she said it in a way that she could retreat in order to advance.

"Yingying, you really don't have to worry about it. Even if you get up early next time, you don't have to make breakfast for us. Auntie will do it. You just come here and have a good rest." Qin Shu said.

In order to change the subject, Li Zhiqiang said, "Since everyone is up today, do you want to go out and play somewhere?"

"Really? Can we go anywhere?" Li Tongxin asked.

"Then where do you want to go?" Li Zhiqiang asked back.

"Let me think about it." Li Tongxin had just gone to the zoo yesterday, a trip she'd heard about from her classmates. Now her father said she could go out again. For a moment, Li Tongxin couldn't think of where to go and fell into deep thought.

"I won't go. Honey, please take them both out for a walk." Qin Shu refused.

"Wife, it's nothing. It's nice to go out for a walk together!" Li Zhiqiang still wanted to go out for a walk with Qin Shu.

"I accompanied your daughter out yesterday, and my feet are still sore. I won't go anymore." Qin Shu was also powerless.

"Okay, then Tongxin, Yingying, where do you want to go?" Li Zhiqiang looked at the two children.

"Dad, can we go to Toys R Us?" Li Tongxin looked at her father with anticipation. She suddenly remembered that her cousin had talked about Toys R Us before, but she had never been there herself, so she was filled with curiosity and longing for it. Although she didn't know what Toys R Us was like, since her cousin had said it was so fun, Li Tongxin was determined to experience it for herself.

"Toys R Us?" Li Zhiqiang repeated his daughter's words in a low voice, while his mind quickly thought about the specific location of this place. He seemed to have some impression, but he was not sure.

"Yes, cousin Yingying said before that she had been there and it was really fun there!" Li Tongxin explained excitedly.

At this moment, hearing her name being mentioned, Xu Yingying suddenly realized that the place Li Tongxin was talking about was the Toys R Us she had mentioned to her before. She realized that this was a conversation between the heroine of the original book and Li Tongxin.

Xu Yingying recalled the memory she had gathered from the subject, and thought that "Toys R Us" might be a place similar to amusement rides. Xu Yingying smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "It's certainly fun."

"Then let's go later." Li Zhiqiang decided directly.

When Li Zhiqiang brought the two of them to the "Toys R Us" that Xu Yingying said was fun, they found that it was too early and the store had not yet opened for business.

"Since it's not open, why don't we go somewhere else." Li Zhiqiang looked at the two children.

Li Tongxin just nodded in disappointment.

Xu Yingying was also careless for a moment and forgot that such amusement parks are usually not open so early.

"Why don't we go to the park next door?" Li Zhiqiang suggested.

"Oh." Li Tongxin lost the energy she had before leaving after knowing that Toys R Us was not open yet.

"I'm fine with either." Xu Yingying replied.
