After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

Several people went straight back to Li Xiaoxiao's house. Seeing that everyone had returned, Li Fang and Li Linlin were very sensible and poured a bowl of boiled water for each person. Everyone took the water and drank it.

Li Xiaoxiao asked everyone to enjoy the cool air in the yard first, and she called Li Fang and Li Linlin to the kitchen to help. "Sister, we have already steamed the rice, you can just stir-fry the vegetables." Li Fang said.

Li Xiaoxiao touched Li Fang's head and said, "Okay, I'll start cooking right away. Fang'er, light the fire first and I'll chop the vegetables."

There was not much meat at home, so Li Xiaoxiao prepared to make a tomato and egg soup, steam an egg custard, stir-fry some vegetables and stir-fry green beans with eggplant. Remembering the two jars of pickled bamboo shoots in the cool place in the kitchen, Li Xiaoxiao asked Li Linlin to take some out, wash them, cut them into strips and pieces, and made a dish of pickled bamboo shoots with peppers.

Li Xiaoxiao skillfully cut the ingredients and put them into the pot one by one to stir-fry. The aroma gradually spread, making people salivate.

Li Linlin assisted from the side, occasionally handing over seasonings or tableware. The siblings worked in perfect harmony, and soon, delicious dishes were placed on the table.

Li Xiaoxiao's family and Aunt Chen sat together and began to enjoy this sumptuous dinner. Everyone ate and talked, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Xiaoxiao, your cooking skills are amazing. I think yours are as good as the chef in that restaurant." Uncle Li praised while eating stir-fried sour bamboo shoots with peppers.

"You old man, from the way you sound, have you ever eaten in a big restaurant?" Aunt Chen scolded with a smile.

"Hahaha, I've never eaten it, but it tastes really good." Uncle Li explained with a smile.

Li Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, "I'm glad you like it, uncle and aunt. Please come over for dinner often when you have time."

"Then we won't be polite. Xiaoxiao is such a cute kid." Aunt Chen smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.

Everyone was satisfied with the meal, especially Uncle Li and Aunt Chen, who praised Li Xiaoxiao's cooking skills.

After the meal, Li Xiaoxiao brought out a plate of fresh red dates. "These are the red dates I picked in the mountains today. Let's have a taste."

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao, you are so thoughtful." Everyone picked up the red dates and tasted them.

"Well, so sweet!" Aunt Chen exclaimed.

After lunch, Aunt Chen and her friends went back home. Li Xiaoxiao also packed some red dates for them to take back.

After Li Xiaoxiao and Li Fang cleaned up the dishes, Li Fang dragged Li Linlin to see the little rabbit. Li Xiaoxiao, who was still washing dishes, suddenly heard Li Fang yell, "Sister, come and see!"

Li Xiaoxiao quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran over, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, why doesn't this little rabbit eat? It looks listless." Li Linlin asked worriedly.

Li Xiaoxiao observed the little rabbit carefully and found that its belly was bulging, as if it was bloated.

"Maybe it's indigestion from eating too much." Li Xiaoxiao guessed, "Don't worry, let's rub its belly to help it digest."

Li Xiaoxiao gently massaged the little rabbit's belly, while Li Fang and Li Linlin watched nervously from the side.

After a while, the little rabbit burped and looked much better.

"Great, the little rabbit is fine!" Li Fang shouted happily.

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and patted the little rabbit's head. "Don't feed it too much next time."

"I know, sister." Li Fang and Li Linlin answered in unison.

They played with the little rabbit for a while before going back into the house. Li Xiaoxiao continued to wash the dishes.

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Li Xiaoxiao didn't plan to go out, so she stayed at home and watched Bai Shi doing needlework. "Mom, you are so good at needlework!"

"Xiaoxiao, you can learn from your mother when you have time. Otherwise, when you get married, your in-laws will look down on you if they find out that you can't sew." Bai said with a smile.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the embroidery in Bai's hands, which featured an exquisite, lifelike peony. She felt envious, but she said, "Forget it, Mom! I can't learn this. If I had the time, I'd rather think of ways to make money! Who says girls have to know how to sew?" Li Xiaoxiao didn't agree with the ancients' idea.

"How can you say that, kid?" Bai shook her head gently, her eyes full of pampering and helplessness. "Well, you have your own way to go, and your mother won't force you. It's just that learning needlework occasionally can also improve your character, which is not a bad thing." As she spoke, she gently put down the embroidery in her hand, and her eyes fell gently on Li Xiaoxiao, as if she could see the infinite possibilities of the future through her.

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, took the needle and thread from Bai's hand, and began to learn embroidery.

At first, her technique was a little unfamiliar, but under Bai's guidance, she gradually mastered the skills.

It seems that embroidery is not as difficult as imagined, Li Xiaoxiao thought.

After embroidering for only a while, Li Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable sitting. She stood up and rubbed her sore neck. It was really uncomfortable to sit still like this. It seemed that she was not cut out for embroidery.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye the sun was about to set.

"Mom, I'm going to cook." Li Xiaoxiao put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and said.

"Okay, go ahead." Bai nodded.

Li Xiaoxiao walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Li Fang was still the one making the fire. Thinking that there was not much work to do in the afternoon, Li Xiaoxiao planned to cook some porridge for dinner.

She first scooped half a bowl of rice into the pot and added water to boil. After the porridge became thick, she put some vegetables in it, beat two eggs and stirred them evenly, sprinkled some chopped green onions, added salt and oil and stirred them together. After a while, a big pot of fragrant vegetable and egg porridge was ready.

Although it was simple, the whole family enjoyed it with gusto.

After dinner, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. "Mom, let's go to town together tomorrow," Li Xiaoxiao discussed with Bai.

Mrs. Bai agreed. Thinking that she had to get up early the next day, Mrs. Bai took Li Fang and Li Linlin to bed early, and asked Li Xiaoxiao to rest early if she had nothing to do. Li Xiaoxiao nodded and agreed.

At night, stars twinkled in the sky. Li Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, thinking about everything that happened today, and felt extremely warm in her heart.
