Shen continued, "Youwen, Panpan said that we should sort out the family property first so that we have a clear idea of ​​it. Otherwise, we will suffer when the family property is divided."

Qin Youwen finally said impatiently: "Alright, alright, stop nagging, let me think about it. There's no rush for this."

Shen had no choice but to get up and go cook. Just then, Zhao and Qin Youqian and their group came back from work.

The more Shen looked at the buckwheat husk porridge in the pot, the more uncomfortable she felt and the more she wanted to divide the family property.

……

After they left, Su Panpan asked Qin Mu to go to Zhang's house and bring the cow over.

In just one morning, several nearby vacant lots were plowed, which was very efficient.

Su Panpan told Qin Mu to put the cow in a place with plenty of grass nearby, let it eat its fill, and then take it back.

He also asked Qin Mu to bring some cakes and candied fruits to the Zhang family children.

Su Panpan and the other children were busy picking up stones from the ground and throwing them into baskets.

By noon, the sun was getting higher and everyone was feeling a little tired and hungry.

Su Panpan took the children back home and prepared lunch.

Considering that I still had to work in the afternoon, I thought of going to the space and using my mobile phone to buy some instant noodles so that I could cook faster.

He arranged for the children to take the farm tools to the stream outside the yard to wash them.

After she entered the space, she quickly picked up her phone and bought ten packs of spicy beef instant noodles, a few bags of Lao Gan Ma pickled mustard tubers, and a few sausages.

He took out a few fresh eggs, some plump red tomatoes, a handful of fresh and juicy vegetables and a handful of lush green onions from the cupboard.

Su Panpan first washed the vegetables and onions, cut the tomatoes into pieces, and chopped the green onions.

She then started to heat the pot, poured a little oil, put the diced tomatoes in, stir-fried until the juice came out, and poured in clean water.

After a while, the water began to churn and strings of white bubbles emerged.

She poured all the instant noodle seasoning and Lao Gan Ma pickled mustard tubers into the pot and brought them to a boil, emitting bursts of rich aroma. Then she added the noodles, which absorbed the soup and slowly expanded.

Then, she gently tapped the egg on the edge of the bowl, broke it with her hands, and the egg slid into the pot and instantly solidified into a beautiful poached egg.

Then she put the sliced ​​ham into the pot. The ham rolled in the water, emitting bursts of tempting aroma.

Add the vegetables, and they will become greener and more tender once they come into contact with hot water.

Finally, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions. As soon as the green onions enter the pot, the aroma will instantly spread. Stir gently with chopsticks to mix evenly.

Soon, a pot of delicious instant noodles was ready. Su Panpan put the noodles into bowls and brought them to the children.

The children looked at the bowl of steaming instant noodles in front of them, and their appetites were already aroused.

"The shape of these noodles is so cute, why are they so curly?" Yueyue couldn't help but ask as she looked at the noodles in the bowl.

"It's bent, fried, and then boiled, so it's this shape."

"Mom, you are so amazing!"

Su Panpan smiled guiltily.

The rich aroma went straight into the children's noses, and they couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.

Qin Mu first picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks. The noodles were covered with soup and sparkled with an attractive luster.

He blew on the noodles a few times and put them into his mouth. Instantly, the smooth and springy texture blossomed on his tongue, and the rich and spicy beef broth stimulated Qin Mu's taste buds. With every bite, he could feel the chewy noodles and the richness of the broth.

He picked up another piece of ham. It was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and the salty and fragrant taste blended perfectly with the aroma of the noodles.

Then, Qin Mu blew on the noodle soup carefully to cool it down and put it into his mouth.

The delicious taste instantly spreads in the mouth, warming the entire throat, as if a warm current flows into the stomach, making people feel extremely satisfied.

“This noodle is so delicious!”

Pick up a piece of green vegetable, its crisp texture adds a refreshing touch to the bowl of noodles.

As he ate, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them off and continued to enjoy the delicious instant noodles.

In a short while, Qin Mu had eaten up all the noodles in the bowl, not even a drop of soup was left.

At this moment, it seemed as if all the fatigue was dispelled by this bowl of instant noodles.

The other children were also very satisfied with the meal.

……

At night, Qin's house.

Shen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She leaned over to Qin Youwen's ear and said, "Youwen, can't you think about the children? We can't let them suffer with us. Look at Erniu from the next village. After the family split up, she's living a prosperous life. Why can't we do the same?"

"Look at Panpan. Now he has a big vegetable garden next to his house and a dog in the yard. The children are warmly dressed and look better. Panpan decides what to eat and buy. What a wonderful life!"

"I'm not going to compare my food, clothing, and shelter with others when I split up. I just want to make life more hopeful, right?"

"When the time comes, I'll pawn the jewelry first, then rent a yard and buy some land to grow crops and vegetables. Linlin and Sisi are hardworking, so I'll embroider some handkerchiefs and sell them. Then I'll buy a few hens and lay eggs for our whole family to eat. How wonderful that would be!"

Qin Youwen was upset by what she said. He turned around and muttered, "Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm very confused about this."

In the next few days, Shen talked to Qin Youwen about the division of the family from time to time, and spoke earnestly about everything from the future of the children to the current situation of the family.

Although Qin Youwen was still hesitant, his attitude gradually softened.

That day, Qin Youwen came back from the fields and sat on the doorstep in a daze.

Shen handed him a bowl of water and asked cautiously, "Youwen, why don't we just listen to Panpan and give it a try? I really don't want to live like this anymore."

Qin Youwen was silent for a while before saying, "Even if we divide it, what can we get? Life will probably be even harder then."

"Given my mother's personality, she probably won't share anything good with us. If that doesn't work out, I'll just pawn the jewelry."

Qin Youwen frowned: "But those jewelry are your dowry, how can you just pawn them?"

Shen sighed: "I can't bear to do it either, but there is nothing I can do.

Qin Youwen was silent for a while, but still didn't nod.

After a few days, when the kids were asleep, Shen followed Su Panpan's advice and found a time when Qin Youwen was in a good mood to chat with him about family matters.

"Look, Linlin and Sisi are grown up now. When they get married in the future, we have to give them some decent dowries." Shen chatted with him while sewing the soles of shoes.

Qin Youwen responded: "Of course."

Shen continued, "But how can we save anything these days? If we divide the family property and live on our own, can we save more for our daughter?"

Qin Youwen said: "Dividing the family is not that simple."

After a moment of silence, he nodded again: "Well, let's give it a try. But don't make it public for now."
