Quickly wear it with your skills

They were going to cook soon, so there would inevitably be some smoke. Lan Hanlu asked the two of them to go out, but the cooking had to wait a while.

She took out the pickles and cut them again. She had only cut the pickles twice at lunch, so she changed the knife and added some more seasoning to mix them. When the sweet potatoes were almost cooked, she started to stir-fry the cabbage.

She was stir-frying sweet and sour cabbage. Sugar was a precious commodity back then, so few people cooked it this way. Lan Hanlu only added a tiny amount of oil when she stir-fried it, barely dabbing the pan with it.

At her age, she can't be too special, but her cooking skills are still there, and there are a few slices of bacon in it, so as soon as the dish slides into the pot, the aroma bursts out.

Several children looked towards the kitchen door intentionally or unintentionally. A moment later, Lan Hanlu opened the kitchen door and called out, "Come over and serve the dishes and bowls."

Yuntao put Miaomiao directly into Yunling's arms and ran to the kitchen. Yunling didn't argue with him and carried Yunmiao to wash hands.

At this time, the cabbage has been served and looks very beautiful when placed on the plate. Next to it is a dish of pickles, which have been cut into thin strips and mixed with onions, garlic and chili peppers.

Lan Hanlu was stirring the porridge in the pot with a spoon. "Take those out first," she ordered without even turning her head, and went to check if the sweet potatoes in the pot were cooked.

The two children agreed and started working quickly. Lan Hanlu poked the sweet potato with chopsticks and found that it was cooked, so she picked up the sweet potato and put it on the plate.

Even in their family, being able to eat these is already very good. Most people only have porridge that is so thick that you can see your reflection in it, and some people don’t even eat dinner.

Seeing the two children come in, she took out the porridge and sweet potatoes. Lan Hanlu directly took out the boiled eggs soaked in cold water, cracked and peeled them, then put them in a bowl and took them out.

Several people sat at the dining table and prepared to eat. Lian Yunmiao was waiting for her with her spoon. Lan Hanlu held the egg and asked Yunmiao, "Miaomiao, do you want to sit next to Auntie and eat?"

Miaomiao looked at her for two seconds before reacting. She grabbed the arm of her older brother and said timidly, "Eat with me."

Lan Hanlu smiled at her and said, "Okay, then Miaomiao will eat with your big brother. But Miaomiao is really amazing. She can eat by herself at such a young age."

Yun Miao was a little shy after being praised by her. But he was obviously very happy and his mouth was wide open. He even took a bite of his rice to show her.

Yunmiao was born with a difficult labor, and after only two months, the mother passed away. The child had been taken care of by an elderly woman, but she was old and in poor health.

In addition, the child was born prematurely and was a little weak, suffering from minor or major illnesses from time to time. The old lady was anxious for Yun Juran to get married because she really could not take care of him.

She had wanted to chat with the children during dinner, but she saw that they were all busy eating and seemed to have no time to pay attention to her, so she just ate quietly and decided to talk about it after dinner.

The two Yunling brothers finally had delicious meals, including Yunmiao, who of course ate with big mouthfuls and had no time to talk about anything else.

After the meal, Lan Hanlu didn't need to clean up. Yuntao and Yunling cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen. In fact, you can see that the two of them were still stumbling while working, but neither of them shirked the responsibility.

She always knew that the children of the Yun family were well educated. When she was bedridden and Yun Tao had difficulty walking, it was Yun Ling and Yun Miao who took care of him.

Although this stepmother did not get along particularly well with them, his two children did not dislike her. Instead, they took good care of her.

Lan Hanlu didn't say they were too young to work. Eleven years old wasn't too young. In the countryside or in ordinary families, children as young as four or five would have already started helping out.

Yun Miao is not helping with the work now, mainly because she is in poor health. The old man used to have orderlies and caregivers, and her two brothers have also taken good care of her these past two days.

Just after dinner, Yun Ling carried her to the sofa and sat her down, intending to boil water for the others to wash up. Lan Hanlu came to the sofa and fiddled with the so-called toy with Yun Miao.

Maybe no one really took special care of Yun Miao because she was a girl. All the toys in front of her were pistols, tanks, etc. made of bullet shells. The only toy that could be called a girl's was the human-shaped rag doll in his arms.

Although the child was wary, he was easy to appease. After a while, the two began to figure out how to give the doll an injection.

Two men were fiddling with a bullet casing tied to a piece of cloth. The brothers came out of the kitchen after cleaning up and saw it. They were discussing whether to give the needle to the left hand or the buttocks.

Yun Ling even looked back at Yun Tao and sighed silently. Perhaps he was also thinking about his little stepmother, wondering if she also needed their coaxing.

Seeing them both come out, Lan Hanlu said to them with a smile on her face, "It's almost time. Let Miaomiao walk around the sofa a few times to exercise slowly. We can chat for a while."

The two brothers looked at each other, then walked to the sofa and sat down. Lan Hanlu had already coaxed Yun Miao to stand up. "Miao Miao, can you count? If you walk around the sofa ten times every day, I'll buy you another beautiful doll, okay?"

Yun Miao thought for a moment, then nodded. "Auntie Miao Miao can count." She counted on her fingers, one to ten, then looked at Han Lu and said, "Auntie, am I counting correctly? If I walk ten laps, you can give me a new doll."

Lan Hanlu nodded to confirm what she had heard. The little guy was very smart and quickly extended his pinky finger to make a pinky promise with her. The two of them pinky-pinched to confirm their commitment to each other.

Yun Miao began to walk around the sofa in small steps. Lan Hanlu turned around and looked at the two brothers.

The two brothers, both with the same crew cut, looked uneasy, and she laughed for no reason. "Don't be nervous. I'm not much older than you. Just treat each other as peers."

But one thing is for sure: I am your father's new wife after all. So you still have to listen to me when it comes to household chores. You don't have to treat me as your mother, but you must treat me as a family member.

Of course, you can observe for yourself whether I am worthy of your doing this. Similarly, I will also observe whether you are worthy of my care and guidance."

After she finished speaking, she waited for the two brothers to digest her words. She wasn't worried that they wouldn't understand. The two brothers were both very smart people under the guidance of their father and grandfather.

"Grandpa told us before father got married, and we agreed." Yun Tao said this, indicating that they had no hostility towards her.
