Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

You can make more when cooking and heat it up in the evening to eat. This way you won’t waste food and you can avoid eating leftover meals.

Although the family was not well-off, the Chen family had always paid great attention to healthy eating and rarely left overnight meals.

……

There is a small market not far from Ping'an Lane. The vegetables here are all grown by villagers from nearby villages. They are very fresh and affordable.

Chen Chuchu first went to a nearby grain and oil store and bought some rice, flour, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and a bag of salt. After paying, she gave the store her address and asked them to deliver the goods to her door.

The shop owner was a very good businessman. He saw that Chen Chuchu had purchased a large quantity of goods, so he generously gave her a small bottle of sauce as a gift, which made Chen Chuchu very happy.

Chen Chuchu happily walked towards the meat stall, carrying a basket full of food. She picked out a pound of pork ribs and then went to the vegetable section, where she bought some fresh tomatoes and twenty free-range eggs.

Coming home with a full load means a successful reduction in wallet size! Chen Chuchu lamented that she didn't have enough money.

Since the two sisters started living together, they each pay half of the household expenses.

Although Chen Chuchu doesn't have a strong appetite, she likes beautiful clothes, new perfumes and cosmetics.

She naturally also liked those expensive gold, silver and jewelry, but because she was short of money, so far she only owned half a box.

Furthermore, Chen Chuchu didn't have much savings. Although her income was decent, her expenses were also high. Over the years, her life seemed glamorous, but in reality, she didn't have much savings.

But Yinyin is completely different. She has no particular preference.

Whether it's food or clothing, she thinks it's just okay.

Yinyin is not interested in items such as cosmetics and perfumes.

When her parents were alive, they only bought facial oil and hand cream for Yinyin. They never bought any other skin care products or cosmetics.

Now that her parents have passed away, Yinyin has to make all decisions on her own, but her habits have not changed.

In a small drawer under the desk, there is still a small mirror, a box of facial oil and a bottle of hand cream.

Mr. Chen's departure was so sudden that he left without even saying a word.

Chen's mother, on the other hand, handed over all the family property to Yinyin without reservation. Although they had two daughters, Chen's mother still followed her husband's wishes and excluded the eldest daughter, Chen Chuchu, from the inheritance distribution, leaving everything to the youngest daughter, Yinyin.

The two sisters had lived together in this house since their parents passed away. However, they had never mentioned this matter. Chen Chuchu was well aware of it, but Yin Yin felt a little overwhelmed, not knowing how to bring up the topic.

The Chen family wasn't wealthy, but their most valuable possession was probably their ancestral home. The tenants on either side had lived there for many years, and the Chen family had always been generous, never raising the rent. These two tenants were also grateful and always paid their rent on time, never delaying.

In addition to the stable rental income, Chen's mother also gave some of her precious jewelry and the treasures inherited from her mother-in-law to Yinyin.

These treasures were carefully placed in a small box at the bottom of Yinyin's wardrobe.

In addition, there is a not much but enough money and savings to live on.

In short, these properties added up to be enough for Yinyin to live a stable and comfortable life.

"Yinyin, it's time for dinner!" Chen Chuchu's voice came from outside the door.

Yinyin took out her pocket watch and looked at the time. It was twelve o'clock noon.

The delicate chain on the pocket watch complemented the quaint pocket watch perfectly. Yinyin took a look at it, closed it, and carefully put it in the drawer.

"coming!"

……

The Chen family has always been silent while eating or sleeping, so the two sisters ate quietly.

After dinner, Chen Chuchu and Yinyin cleaned up the dishes together, and then Yinyin prepared to go back to her room to continue writing.

At this time, Chen Chuchu stopped her: "Yin Yin, let's talk!"

Yinyin nodded and replied, "Okay!"

So the two of them sat opposite each other. For a moment, the room was silent and no one spoke.

After a while, Chen Chuchu finally broke the silence and asked nervously, "Yinyin, do you think it's embarrassing for you to be a dancer?"

Since she moved back to the Chen family, although she still greeted neighbors when she met them on the street, she actually knew what they were saying behind her back.

She knew that her profession was looked down upon by some people, and she was used to it.

However, what she really cared about was what her only relative, Yinyin, thought about this matter.

Although they have lived under the same roof for some time, they have never had the opportunity to talk to each other properly because they are busy.

The relationship between the two is not like that of blood-related sisters, but rather like that of roommates.

Chen Chuchu wanted to talk to her sister, but she was worried that after she opened up, Yin Yin's contempt would be unacceptable to her.

"No!" Yin Yin said calmly, "Then it's your own choice!"

Everyone should be responsible for their own choices!

Although Yinyin spoke coldly, Chen Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, Yinyin!"

Thank you for not looking down on me!

Yin Yin shook her head. "Nothing. If nothing else, I'll go back to my room!"

"Well," Chen Chuchu hesitated, "Do you want to see where my sister works?"

It’s not as…dirty as you think!

Every dancer works hard and lives seriously, there are not so many messy things.

Of course, if you want to make more money, then there's nothing to say.

During her years of work, Chen Chuchu had some casual flings and had several boyfriends.

If she likes someone, she's after the feelings; if she doesn't like someone, she's after the money.

If I can't bring her anything, then we'll just break up!

There are so many men and women coming and going that no one would take it seriously!

"I don't want to go!" After being surprised, Yinyin's first reaction was to refuse.

She thought to herself: If my father were still alive, he would probably kick Chen Chuchu out immediately after hearing such words.

"Can you please go take a look?" Chen Chuchu looked at her sister earnestly, her eyes full of expectation and pleading. "Just think of it as helping Mom and Dad. That's the place I've spent the longest time since I left home."

"I'm really not the kind of woman without bottom line as they say. I didn't do anything wrong!" Chen Chuchu suddenly became excited, tears welling up in her eyes.

Yin Yin was silent for a moment, then said softly, "What's the point of saying this now?"

"It's useful!" Chen Chuchu hurried forward, took Yin Yin's hand, and explained anxiously, "Although my sister is not a pure and flawless woman, she is definitely not someone who would allow herself to fall into depravity."

She held Yinyin's hand tightly, as if she wanted to convey her emotions and determination in this way.

"Are you worried about your safety?" Chen Chuchu saw the emotion in Yinyin's eyes, but there was hesitation on her face. Knowing her worries, she quickly explained, "I'll take you through the back door and will never let anyone hurt you."

Yinyin still didn't want to go. She knew her own limitations and knew she had no power to protect herself...

However, facing Chen Chuchu's sincere gaze, Yin Yin really couldn't say no. She gritted her teeth and finally nodded in agreement.

When Chen Chuchu saw that Yinyin agreed, a smile appeared on her face.
