Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?

Thinking back to the past, on the weekends when she got her salary, she always liked to find a secluded place with beautiful scenery nearby, stay there quietly for two days, and then go back to work.

Although she lives paycheck to paycheck, she has never thought about saving this money.

Because she feels that only by returning from nature and replenishing her energy can she cope with the fatigue of the steel and concrete in the big city.

This is what we want in life: peace, freedom, comfort, and living happily according to our own wishes!

Now it seems that I can live a good life.

Faced with such beautiful scenery, I suddenly felt a little sad.

In fact, she still misses that world and the people in that world!

She missed her childhood friend who used to throw sandbags with her but married far away and now they would never see each other again.

She missed her deskmate in elementary school who always secretly gave her candy during class, but later she lost contact with him because he moved and changed schools.

She missed her classmates who used to stay up late to prepare for exams and talk about the future together, but who went their separate ways after graduation and never contacted each other again.

She missed her parents who were once in their prime and now have gray hair but still worry about her.

She missed her high school teacher who was always very strict with her but encouraged her at critical moments, but whom she never saw again after graduation.

She missed the boy who once shared an umbrella with her and ran in the rain with her. Because of her youthfulness, she never expressed it out loud, which became a regret in her heart.

She missed her grandmother who had passed away and always gave her comfort and hugs whenever she was wronged.

Now I can only feel that love and warmth in my memories!

"Clean and tidy, this is what a home should look like! I can make dinner now." She came back to her senses, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and muttered to herself.

To calm herself down, she took off the cloth on her head, washed it in a basin, dusted off the dust on her body, washed her hands, and then poured out the wild vegetables and coarse grains to wash.

While she was working, she encouraged herself in her heart that she had to work hard to make a living and live a rich life, so she had to work hard.

Xiaoxiao had finished mowing the grass, Qin Xiao had cleaned the living room and rooms, Qin Mu had tidied up his things, and Yueyue had cleaned the floor very cleanly.

"Mom, I'm here. Shall we cook wild vegetables tonight? Is there anything you need help with? Or should I light the fire?" Qin Mu wanted to come over to help.

"Well, okay, that's fine. The firewood has been chopped. Once the fire is lit, light the oil lamp." Su Panpan responded while pouring water into the pot.

The next few children came to the kitchen to help.

"Mom... give me a hug... I worked so hard to sweep the floor today..." Yueyue spoke in a long tone and a baby voice. She had two pigtails and stared with big eyes. She ran towards Su Panpan and asked for a hug. She was so cute.

When she looked down, Yueyue was already there. She originally wanted to pour the coarse grains into the porridge, but she quickly put the coarse grains on the stove, freeing her hands to hold her fourth daughter, and even turned around a few times, which made Yueyue giggle.

"Yueyue, mom will make dinner for you. Can you just play by yourself first?"

"it is good."

Then he put Yueyue down, and Yueyue stood beside him and nodded sensibly.

When Su Panpan finished speaking, the children's eyes all focused on the ingredients in their mother's hands.

When the children saw their mother pouring the coarse grains into the pot, they were very happy, thinking that they could finally have a full meal.

When corn and sweet potatoes were taken out, the children's faces showed excitement that was hard to conceal, and they even twisted their bodies involuntarily.

When he took out the last three pieces of meat, the eyes of the four children around him suddenly widened, their mouths slightly opened, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Qin Mu was so surprised that he couldn't hold the firewood steadily in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a "plop". The second brother Xiaoxiao rubbed his eyes hard, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. The third brother Qin Xiao swallowed involuntarily, and a "gulp" sound came from his throat.

Yueyue stared at the piece of meat with her eyes wide open, almost crying with greed.

"Mom...why, how come there's meat here?" Qin Mu knew that these days, meat was only eaten during Chinese New Year, and even then, only a few small slices of fat. And now, his mother had taken out three pieces of bacon, which was like the food of an official.

The children's faces were full of anticipation, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously rose, as if they had already eaten the meat.

"Mom took it from the back room of the Qin family's kitchen."

"Ah, then how come grandma didn't find out? How did you hide it?"

"Then grandma will be furious!"

The children gathered in the kitchen, working and talking.

"You do so much work, but your grandma treats you so harshly. Now, giving her a few pieces of bacon will just make her feel heartbroken." Su Panpan responded from time to time, her hands were not idle.

Xiaoxiao was peeling corn, and the third son was peeling garlic. Qin Mu and Yueyue occasionally added firewood to the fire.

Everyone was busy with their own work. The firelight from the kitchen stove and the oil lamp intertwined and reflected everyone's smiling faces. The kitchen was warm, and it was a cozy and harmonious scene.

The children all felt extremely happy at this moment!

Su Panpan first threw 5 sweet potatoes into the fire. She didn’t want to roast the sweet potatoes at first, but the child just said that he wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so she roasted the remaining ones.

After all, the Qin family used to feed them porridge that was as bland as water. For the children, these roasted sweet potatoes were sweet and filling, almost as good as meat.

When the water boiled, he stirred the whole grains in the pot. Then, on the chopping board, he chopped up some dried wild vegetables, shredded some ginger, and minced the garlic that his third son had peeled, setting it aside.

Xiaoxiao's corn was also shelled, and Su Panpan quickly took it and poured it into the pot to cook with the coarse grains. It gave the illusion of corn porridge.

Then I took the bacon and cut it into thin slices. The bacon was pretty good, all three pieces of bacon from the pork belly part were cut into slices, filling a large plate. I cut them and set them aside for later use.

After the preparations were completed, she went to fetch a few buckets of water and poured them into the vat, and also filled the iron pot behind the stove with clean water. In this way, the pot in front could cook while the pot in the back could also boil water.

When Qin Mu smelled the sweet potatoes, he knew they were cooked. He took them out of the fire and set them aside to cool.

The corn porridge in the pot has already given off the fragrance of corn. Various grains are blended in the pot, with a smooth texture and the right thickness.

Su Panpan took a big bowl, scooped up all the porridge with a spatula, and then placed it next to the stove. It was close to the fire to help keep it warm.

The amount cooked is quite large, enough for each child to drink several large bowls.

"It smells so good, Mom." The children all came forward to smell it.

Yueyue stood on tiptoe, looked into the bowl, and said in a baby voice, "It smells so good, so good. I really want to drink it right away!"

Su Panpan looked at the greedy looks of the children and couldn't help laughing and said, "There is something more delicious. Let's eat it together later!" As she said that, she poured the plate of bacon in her hand into the iron pot.
