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

Chapter 57 Dinner at Qin Youwen and Shen Ru's House

Erniu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Okay, when does it start?"

"Just these two days. The field is quite large, so it will probably take two days to plow it."

Erniu nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Everyone stood in front of the yard, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows out, and the picture was warm and beautiful.

The afterglow of the sun shone on the courtyard, and the children played with the vixen.

Qin Youwen and Shen Ru warmly invited Su Panpan, her four children, and Erniu to have dinner at their home.

Su Panpan looked hesitant, thinking that they had just moved in and still had a lot of things to sort out, and she really didn't want to trouble them.

She waved her hand gently and said, "That's really not necessary. We can just go back and get something to eat. You just moved in here and have a lot of things to do. You must be exhausted."

Erniu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Oh, how can I not feel comfortable doing this? I am really bothering you."

Qin Youwen quickly stepped forward and said sincerely, "How can this be possible? It would be more lively if everyone eats together."

Shen Ru also quickly agreed, "Yes, Panpan, we have almost finished cleaning up. Youwen just bought some fresh vegetables."

Shen Ru continued, "Brother Erniu, you've helped us a lot, so don't refuse."

Erniu smiled innocently and said, "Okay, thank you very much."

Shen Ru was also thinking in her mind that the person she should be most grateful to for the family division was Panpan. Erniu had also helped a lot with the move, and a meal wasn't a big deal. Although money was a little tight, she could just embroider more handkerchiefs and sell them later. But favors had to be repaid slowly, and one couldn't always take advantage of others with a clear conscience.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse anymore, Su Panpan had no choice but to agree. She made an excuse that she had to go back to feed the chickens, and brought five eggs, two white radishes, a pumpkin, and a can of oil from home.

In the kitchen, Shen Ru was busy preparing meals.

She cut the wild vegetables skillfully and swiftly.

The oil in the pan was hot, and she carefully put the tofu into the pan, fried it until both sides were golden brown, then sprinkled with green onions and served. A plate of green onion fried tofu was ready.

Then, put the cabbage and tofu into the pot and stew them together. The steaming cabbage and tofu stew exudes an attractive aroma.

Shen Ru thought that although these dishes were ordinary, they were the best they could offer, and she hoped that everyone would be satisfied with the meal.

On the side, Qin Youwen helped put a plate of fried salted fish on the table. The salted fish was fried until golden and crispy.

In the yard, the children were playing happily. Xiaoxiao held Yueyue's hand, and looked towards the kitchen from time to time, as if looking forward to a delicious meal.

Children don’t understand the adults’ poor thoughts, they just feel happy when they have delicious food.

Su Panpan was quite touched by the enthusiasm of Qin Youwen and Shen Ru!

Although the second wife had never publicly defended them before, she had never bullied them. Shen Ru even fed the children wild vegetable cakes behind Zhao's back several times.

Qin Youwen and Shen Ru can still get along, so I thought if I can help them in the future, I will! It’s also good to have more good neighbors and relatives.

She walked to the kitchen and said to Shen Ru, "Second uncle, let me help you."

"No, Panpan, go and have a rest." Shen Ru smiled and shook her head. She turned around and saw Su Panpan carrying so many things. "Oh, why are you still carrying so many things!"

After a while, stir-fried wild vegetable seedlings, stir-fried bean sprouts, pickled beans, fried salted fish cubes, cabbage stewed with tofu, fried tofu with green onions, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and stir-fried shredded radish were served on the table one after another.

The table was full, which was the most sumptuous way for Qin Youwen and Shen Ru to entertain Panpan and Erniu.

Linlin and Sisi never see so many dishes on a normal day, and their little faces are full of surprise and excitement.

Sisi couldn't help swallowing and whispered, "Wow, so many delicious foods."

Linlin stared at the plate of fried salted fish, her eyes filled with desire.

Qin Mu looked at the table full of dishes, his heart filled with emotion. He knew how rare it was for a poor family, and now his second uncle and his wife had actually cooked so many dishes.

Qin Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I can have a good meal today."

Xiaoxiao and Yueyue, two little girls, looked at the brightly colored vegetables and said, "These vegetables are so beautiful." Yueyue nodded and said, "Hmm, they must be delicious."

Finally, Shen Ru served a large pot of pumpkin porridge, and the sweet aroma filled the air.

Everyone was about to sit around and eat, but they found that the table couldn't accommodate so many people.

The children were very sensible. Qin Mu took Xiaoxiao, Sisi took Yueyue, and Linlin also took Qin Xiao. The children automatically picked up some dishes, held their bowls and ran outside the house to squat and eat.

Erniu looked at the children, laughed and said, "Hey, these little guys are quite smart."

Xiaoxiao and Yueyue shared the food in their bowls with each other from time to time, and the laughter of the two little girls was as clear as silver bells.

The moonlight spread across the yard, making it as bright as day.

The children ate the delicious food, chatted from time to time, looked at the moon, and occasionally threw a piece of fish bone that they couldn't chew to the vixen next to them.

Everyone sat around the table, and Qin Youwen said with a smile, "Come on, everyone, try it."

Su Panpan looked at the children's actions and felt both relieved and a little distressed.

She knew that in those days of poverty, children learned to be considerate of adults early on.

Erniu ate the fried salted fish in big mouthfuls and nodded continuously: "It smells good, really good."

Qin Youwen and Shen Ru were discussing farm work while eating. Qin Youwen said, "After this is done, we have to turn over that piece of wasteland."

"Well, if we cultivate more land, the harvest will be better." Shen Ru responded naturally.

Su Panpan looked at everyone, feeling a surge of emotion. Although life was difficult, being able to support each other together was a precious friendship.

Shen Ru secretly made up her mind to work harder in the future to make her life better.

Qin Youwen seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Our lives will get better and better!"

Qin Youwen picked up a piece of cabbage stewed with tofu, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, saying with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I've eaten such fresh and tender tofu."

After hearing this, Shen Ru smiled at Qin Youwen, then turned around and greeted Panpan and Erniu: "This separation and move is thanks to Panpan and Erniu. Come, eat more food."

"Second uncle's wife, I'll just treat it as a meal at my own home and won't be polite with you." Su Panpan responded readily.

Qin Youwen also echoed, "Yes, you must eat more. Come, let's drink tea instead of wine. Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses, laughter and joy echoed in the room, and the warm and simple atmosphere was like a cozy painting.

Although they live in poverty, they are full of friendship, which makes people feel the warmth and strength of home in difficult days.

Although life is hard, at this moment, the atmosphere of everyone eating and chatting about family matters makes the days sweeter.
