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

Place the steamed egg with minced meat, braised pork and pea tips on the square table in the hall.

The four children couldn't wait and were waiting for their mother to take the first bite.

Su Panpan first picked up the spoon, gently scooped a spoonful of minced meat and egg custard, and handed it to the five-year-old Yueyue, saying, "Yueyue, come here, eat slowly."

"Wow, this egg is so smooth and tender, it melts in your mouth."

Then, she picked up a piece of braised pork for Qin Xiao and said, "Qin Xiao, eat more to help you grow." Then, she picked up a piece of braised pork for Xiaoxiao and Qin Mu.

The children were very happy looking at the bowls full of food.

Xiaoxiao's cheeks puffed up like a little squirrel, and she shouted incoherently: "Mom, your braised pork is simply amazing! I feel like I can eat a whole pig!"

Qin Xiao exclaimed, "If I could eat such delicious braised pork every day, I would wake up laughing in my dreams, maybe even laugh until my nose bubbles!"

Qin Mu listened to his brother and sister's words while wolfing down the meat. The meat was so delicious. Every piece was covered with sauce, shining like amber.

With a gentle bite, the rich aroma of meat instantly filled his mouth. It was fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, and every texture was full of the rich flavor of the sauce. He exclaimed with satisfaction: "It's really delicious!"

Su Panpan picked up a piece of emerald green pea tip with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. She took a light bite, and the fresh and crisp taste burst out instantly, just like the tender buds that had just sprouted in spring. The fresh juice flowed between her teeth, with a faint sweetness, gently brushing across the tip of her tongue.

As you chew it carefully, the sweet taste becomes more and more intense, lingering in every corner of your mouth. Every bite is just the right amount of refreshing, with a subtle aftertaste.

"Mom, why don't you eat meat?" Xiaoxiao found that Su Panpan had been eating pea tips.

"Mom prefers pea tips. I'll eat the braised pork later. Let you little greedy cats eat your fill first!"

After a while, the dishes were gone and the children were full.

Xiaoxiao finished washing the dishes and Qin Mu cleaned the table.

Then the children leaned back in their chairs contentedly.

Xiaoxiao looked at the moon outside and suddenly became angry. "I remember that before, we couldn't even get enough to eat. We only had wild vegetable soup every day. Grandma always beat and scolded us, saying we ate too much."

Qin Xiao also echoed, biting his lip and said, "Yes, one time I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I secretly took some food. When my grandma found out, she beat me so badly that I couldn't get out of bed for several days. I had to get up to work before dawn every day, and if I was a little slow, I would be scolded and beaten." He lowered his head, as if he had returned to that dark time.

Xiaoxiao continued, "One winter, we didn't even have thick clothes, and we were shivering with cold. But grandma scolded us for being spoiled, and made us wash clothes and chop wood in the snow. Our hands were so cold that they were cracked."

Yueyue was young and her voice was filled with tears as she said, "I always dreamed of delicious food, but when I woke up, there was nothing. Grandma also always scolded me for being a money-loser and refused to give me food."

Although Qin Mu didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with anger and helplessness towards the past. He was secretly glad that his mother had finally learned to resist and wanted to live apart from them.

The children chatted with each other, recalling the oppressive days of the past. Back then, they had to get up before dawn to work, were not well fed or clothed, and had to endure endless scolding and corporal punishment. The house was always leaking and raining, making it difficult to sleep well.

Now, they no longer have to worry about windy and rainy days. They can sleep until they wake up naturally every day. The food they eat is better than during the Chinese New Year. Their mother also buys them new clothes and shoes, and also buys them cakes to eat.

While they were chatting, Su Panpan walked to Qin Mu and Qin Xiao's room, put new mattresses on them, spread new indigo cotton cloth as sheets, put two new indigo pillows on them, and changed the indigo quilt.

Brand new, simple, elegant and simple feeling.

Do the same thing for your own room, but use lotus root pink as the color and put a bronze mirror there as well.

After finishing these, I let the children wash up and go to bed early.

She went to the kitchen, marinated the remaining half of the pork belly with salt, fried the ribs and pork shanks, and put them in a large bowl.

The three pieces of tofu were also sliced, fried, and placed in the cabinet together with the pork ribs.

In this weather, there is no problem leaving it for a day or two after oiling.

When she finished everything, washed up and went back to the room to sleep, the children had already fallen into a deep sleep, breathing evenly.

The moon hung high in the sky, like a silver plate, and the cold moonlight poured in through the window.

Su Panpan lay on the bed with her hands resting on her head, looking at the bright moon outside the window, thinking of the young man from the daytime, Han Jingrui...

.........

The early morning in the village begins with the crowing of roosters.

It was dawn, and the child woke up later than usual, probably because he was tired from going to the market yesterday.

After getting up, Su Panpan went to the kitchen, poured half a pot of water into the pot, and when the water started to gurgle, she put the vermicelli into the pot and stirred it constantly with chopsticks to allow it to be heated evenly.

Then he took five medium bowls, added some salt, soy sauce, and tender green onions to the bottom of each bowl, then scooped up the steaming hot soup and poured it on the seasoning. In an instant, the onion aroma was stimulated. Then he picked up the vermicelli and placed it in the bowl.

Then add some bok choy, toss it in the soup a few times, then take it out and spread it neatly on the vermicelli.

Su Panpan washed the pot clean, fried five more poached eggs, and placed them on top one by one.

I heated up a few pieces of pork belly left over from yesterday and put one piece in each child's bowl. I also heated up five slices of tofu that I had fried yesterday and placed them on the noodles.

A plate of soft and chewy vermicelli with chopped green onions, vegetables, eggs, tofu and braised pork is ready.

The crispy and tender chopped green onions, the green cabbage, the golden eggs, the burnt yellow tofu, and the shiny braised pork, the colors are so beautiful.

The children were already up, washed, and sitting at the table.

“This is too rich.”

Qin Mu first picked up a piece of vermicelli with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. It was soft, chewy and smooth.

The rich aroma that comes with a close sniff is mouth-watering. The eggs and tofu have fully absorbed the essence of the broth, and the broth overflows in your mouth after one bite.

Qin Xiao carefully took a bite of the poached egg. The golden yolk flowed out and mixed with the delicious soup. His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wow, this fried egg is soaked up with soup, it's absolutely delicious!

"The bok choy is so tender and sweet, and it tastes so good with vermicelli!" Xiaoxiao has a special liking for the emerald green bok choy. She takes a light bite and finds it crisp and refreshing.

"I'm going to the county government office to get the land deeds and land titles. You guys can stay home and make your own meals at noon. The vegetables are in the kitchen, and the meat and eggs are in the cupboard. You can cook whatever you want. The cakes are also in the cupboard, so remember to take them out."
