In the evening, Lin Zhixin prepared the dishes. At a command, the second son's wife immediately took action and brought the dishes to the table one by one.

As soon as Lin Zhixin finished cooking, she went back to the house to call Furong.

"Furong, hurry up and eat.

The sound was so loud that it could penetrate several walls. Furong was dreaming sweetly when she was startled by Lin Zhixin's shout.

"Oh, dinner time comes so suddenly." Then, Furong walked out reluctantly like a lazy cat.

At this moment, Li Yi, Li Feng, and the eldest brother's wife all came back.

As for the little ones, they were already gathered around the table, extremely excited.

They all knew very well in their hearts that the dishes grandma cooked were so delicious that just thinking about them made their mouths water.

When the whole family gathered together, the whole house was filled with laughter and joy, as if the air was filled with the scent of happiness.

The eldest daughter-in-law glanced at the table and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Wow, today is such a feast! Steamed buns, steamed bread, a big bowl of porridge, and so many dishes.

Is our family getting rich?" Lin Zhixin said unhappily, "Nonsense, if we don't get rich, we can't eat?

"The eldest brother immediately glared at his wife and said, "Why, eating can't stop you from talking."

Lin Zhixin began to divide the last three remaining buns, giving one to the eldest son, one to the second son, and one to the eldest son's wife.

"There are fifteen steamed buns left. Whoever wants to eat can take one." Then, Lin Zhixin served each child a spoonful of egg custard.

The little ones happily ate the egg custard in their bowls and kept shouting:

"Wow, it's so delicious, I've never eaten such delicious food before.

"After hearing what the children said, the eldest daughter-in-law had to speak:

"Mom, how come the egg custard you make is so tender and smooth? The egg custard I usually make is like a hornet's nest."

Lin Zhixin smiled and said, "There are some tricks to making steamed egg custard. The ratio of water to eggs must be right, and the foam on the egg custard must be skimmed off when steaming. The heat must also be controlled well."

Next time I will teach you how to steam it. I’m sure you can do it well.

The whole family sat around the table, enjoying the sumptuous meal. The bowl of stir-fried pork with cabbage was the first to be "finished" in the evening, and the bowl of egg custard became the favorite of the little ones.

Seeing the little ones still not satisfied after finishing the egg custard, the eldest and second daughters asked their grandmother with a smile:

"Grandma, when will you make egg custard?

"Lin Zhixin replied: "How about I do it for you again tomorrow?

"Hearing this, the little ones laughed happily from ear to ear.

Even the youngest Xiaowu mumbled,

Egg custard, egg custard, I’m going to make egg custard tomorrow.

After dinner, the second son's wife cleaned up the dishes quickly.

Lin Zhixin poured out the money from her purse.

The eldest brother wondered how her mother could have so much money.

The second son’s wife was wondering what her mother was trying to do.

Counted them and divided them into four parts.

She handed one tael of silver to the eldest brother and another tael of silver to the second brother.

Seeing that there is still one or two taels of silver behind, I will give it directly to you, the eldest brother, to keep for the third brother.

The remaining copper coins plus the ones Furong brought back today amounted to more than one or two taels, and Lin Zhixin gave them all to Furong.

Furong said, "Mother, I don't want you to keep it for yourself." Okay, Furong, listen to me and take it. Lin Zhixin put all the copper coins back into her purse and put them in Furong's hand.

Furong was so moved that she almost cried. She knew her mother still cared about her.

Boss, go to town and buy some rice tomorrow.

The eldest brother nodded, holding two taels of silver in his hand, thinking that this was the first time mother had given us money.

Originally, no one dared to accept it, thinking of his mother's spendthrift appearance. Now that Lin Zhixin gave them the money, they quickly accepted it to prevent his mother from giving the money away again.

Lin Zhixin thought that these were the original owners after all, and all the money they exchanged for their lives must be given to them.

After dividing the money, Lin Zhixin thought that since she couldn’t sleep anyway, why not tell the kids a story?

Alas, the ancient times were not as good as the modern times. Modern times have mobile phones, computers, and televisions, but the ancient times had nothing.

So boring, so Lin Zhixin said gently: "Come on, kids,

Grandma will tell you a story today, okay?

"The little ones said in unison: "Okay, okay!"

So, grandma sat on the chair and prepared to start telling stories to the children.
