In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

Chapter 11: No one dares to eat the fish, but my cooking skills make the whole family full

Even though there was only a little left, she poured it all into the pot.

"Wanwan! We only have this little oil left, and you've used it all. What are we going to do next?"

Tang Guifang looked at the oil in the pot with heartache, but there was no blame in her tone.

While frying the ingredients, Xia Wanwan said, "Don't worry, mother. Our family will only get better and better in the future. If we run out of oil, I will find a way to earn money to sell it. I promise that we won't be as bad as before."

Soon, a pot of fragrant spicy fish came out of the pot. When it was placed on the small wooden table, everyone swallowed subconsciously.

"Mom! This fish smells so good! It doesn't have any fishy smell at all."

"Yeah! It doesn't have any fishy smell at all. Just looking at it makes me want to eat it."

Gu Ankang and Gu Pingle smelled the delicious fish, swallowed their saliva continuously, and couldn't wait to have a bite of it.

But Xia Wanwan didn't pick up her chopsticks, nor did she ask them to sit down and eat. None of the three children dared to come forward.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat. Let's taste my cooking skills."

Xia Wanwan smiled and waved to the three children, then helped Tang Guifang sit down. She picked up a piece of the tenderest fish with her chopsticks and gave it to her, "Mom! Try it first."

Gu Huaijin stood aside and looked at the smile on Xia Wanwan's face, and his heart suddenly softened a little.

He sat next to her, cleared his throat, and whispered, "I'm sorry! I misunderstood you in the mountains before. It was my fault."

"It's ok."

Xia Wanwan picked up a piece of the tenderest fish for each of the three children, and also picked up a piece for him. "Don't just stand there, come and try it. I guarantee it's so delicious that you won't be able to stop."

"Brother! Is it really that delicious?"

"Ugh~"

When Gu Ankang thought of the fishy smell of the fish he had eaten before, his stomach suddenly churned and he subconsciously dry heaved.

They were lucky enough to eat fish once. When they were five years old, they were so hungry that they saw a dead fish washed ashore in the river. So they took it home and asked their grandmother to cook it for them.

The taste was so unforgettable that I couldn't swallow even a single bite.

"Mom made it so delicious, it shouldn't be that bad!"

Gu Pingle picked up the fish fillet from the bowl, his hands shaking, and he didn't dare to put it into his mouth.

The fish smelled so good and was so appetizing, but when it came time to eat it, they didn't dare.

"I believe in my mother's cooking skills. This fish will definitely be delicious."

Gu Xinyao said this with great certainty, but after putting the fish to her mouth, she hesitated.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xia Wanwan burst out laughing. She picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth, savoring it carefully. "Not bad. Although it's not as good as I imagined, it's still pretty good. You guys! Right now, you're just smelling the aroma of fish, your brain wants to eat it, but your mouth doesn't dare. It's called psychological effect. Because you've never had delicious fish before, you're subconsciously resisting it."

"Let me try it first."

Seeing that no one dared to do so, Gu Huaijin felt that this would be a waste of Xia Wanwan's kindness, so he closed his eyes and stuffed the fish directly into his mouth.

The next second, his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Ahem…”

Because it was his first time trying something spicy, Gu Huaijin felt terrible. Although there was only a little bit of chili, it was still spicy enough.

"Hurry, drink some water."

When Xia Wanwan saw it, she knew that he was eating spicy food, so she poured him some cold boiled water.

"Thank you!"

After Gu Huaijin swallowed the fish in his mouth, he quickly drank a sip of water.

"Dad! What happened to you just now? Is it not tasty?"

Gu Xinyao’s first reaction was that the fish was not tasty, but her father swallowed it anyway in order not to disappoint her mother.

"No, this fish is delicious, better than any other dish I've ever eaten."

After Gu Huaijin finished drinking the water, he couldn't wait to pick up another piece of fish. "Mom! Children, you guys should eat too. This fish is really delicious. I just felt that the taste was a little irritating to my taste buds, so I choked. But the taste is not too strong and it is within the acceptable range."

After saying that, he continued eating fish.

The children saw how happy he was eating and started eating too. The result was...

One basin of fish is not enough.

"I never knew fish could be so delicious. One day, a fish died by the river. I was so hungry, so I took it home and asked my grandma to cook it. But I couldn't swallow a single bite. It was tough and fishy."

Gu Ankang touched his round belly which was full of food and said with a satisfied look on his face.

In the past, he and his brothers and sisters could only eat their fill when their father came home. After their father left, they would continue to suffer from hunger.

But this time it was different, because his mother had changed, and he loved her very much.

"Do you like it? If so, I'll go catch fish in the river this afternoon and cook it differently for you tonight. How about that?"

Seeing the children well fed and satisfied, Xia Wanwan felt satisfied.

In the memory of this body, it can be said that this meal was the one in which the children were truly full and the happiest one.

"I like it. I like it very much."

The three children almost jumped for joy.

"I'm going to chop down some trees this afternoon and make some new furniture."

Gu Huaijin looked at the dilapidated house and Xia Wanwan in front of him, and felt very uncomfortable.

I hope she has really changed this time and is not just pretending.

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

Tang Guifang noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she quickly cleared the dishes and took them to wash.

Xia Wanwan saw that the house was not only dilapidated but also dirty and messy, so she stood up and prepared to clean it up.

The house can be a little messy, but it can’t be messy, otherwise it will affect your mood.

In the past, she was too lazy. She didn't do any housework and didn't take care of the children. Whether it was work in the mountains or at home, it was the child's grandmother who did it. She had no time to clean the house.

"Mother! We are here to help you."

When the three children saw her cleaning the house for the first time, they didn’t react at first. But when they came to their senses, they all came forward to help her with smiles.

"No, you guys go play in the yard, and leave the house to mother."

Xia Wanwan felt the children's understanding and felt warm in her heart. She rubbed each child's head and let them go play.

What should have been a carefree childhood was once lived in dire straits and fear. In the future, she will do her best to be good to her three children.

When she has free time, she will make some toys for the children.

"I'm here to help you too."

Seeing her cleaning the house alone, Gu Huaijin also planned to come and help.

As Xia Wanwan packed up, she said, "No, I can do it alone. Besides, aren't you going to cut down some trees to make furniture? Go early. It's not safe in the mountains at night. You have to come back early."

"Alright, I'll be leaving first."

Gu Huaijin took the machete and hemp rope and went out.

After Xia Wanwan cleaned up for a while, she suddenly remembered a question and quickly called the system, "System! Didn't you say that if my family eats the fish I cooked, there will be a reward? Where is my reward?"

The system shouldn’t be stingy when it takes action, right?
