The two children looked at the egg, then at their mother, and finally put the egg in the bowl.

"DouDou, count how many people are in our family?"

"Six." The two children were perfectly in sync again.

"Yes. Correct answer."

Seeing their mother give them a thumbs-up and praise them, their previous unpleasantness vanished, and innocent smiles returned to their little faces.

Su Xiaonuan used a spoon to divide one egg into three parts, and two eggs into six parts. "Okay, now you can distribute the cut eggs to everyone."

This is kind of funny; the two children are vying to pick up their own spoons and scoop up small pieces of egg.

The children's hands were too short, so Zhang Yulan had to push the bowl over. After taking the egg from Dou Dou's spoon, she choked up and said thank you.

"Dou Dou, quickly tell Grandma you're welcome." Seeing the child calling out happily, Su Xiaonuan continued to guide him.

"Grandma, you're welcome."

Next, Guoguo also scooped an egg for his aunt. Similarly, his aunt thanked him. This time, without his mother's prompting, he followed suit and immediately told his aunt that she was welcome.

Then, the two of them gave eggs to their parents, and the "thank you" and "you're welcome" exchanges repeated themselves.

Each of the six people had a small piece of egg in their bowl. After eating the egg, when it was time to eat the steamed buns, the two little ones would clamor that everyone had to eat. So, each of them would then have a steamed bun in their hand and eat it with the pickled vegetables.

...

"Xiao Nuan, do you think we should tear up the family division agreement?" Xiao Moran stared at her for a long time, but her attention was on the child and she didn't notice his gaze at all, so he had to bring it up himself.

"Why tear it up?" she retorted. "Aren't we all eating from the same pot now?"

"That's different. What if you get angry one day and want to break up with us again?"

"If I get angry, it means I'm about to have a meltdown. Wouldn't it be better if we separated? At least I won't be dragging you down with me, right?"

"It's too formal to say that we're family. I promise that no matter what you become, I will treat you well in the future."

"Sister-in-law, you said you'd give my brother a chance, so that family division agreement has to be void. Just tear it up. Keeping that agreement will make my brother feel insecure." Mo Xi was even more anxious than her brother.

After saying that, she turned around, went back into the house, took out the copy of the family division agreement she had kept, and tore it into strips in front of everyone.

"Great!"

The two little ones thought their aunt's paper-tearing action was so cool that they clapped enthusiastically.

"Dou Dou, Guo Guo, do you know where your mom put this kind of paper?" Mo Xi understood what the two little ones were focusing on. "If you know, go find it, and Auntie will teach you how to tear it into strips and then make you a shuttlecock to kick, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou and Guo Guo immediately jumped off the stool. Their short legs were running so fast that they seemed a little unsteady on their feet, which startled Su Xiaonuan, who quickly chased after them, holding one of their hands in each.

She came out with the separation agreement in hand, waved it at Xiao Moran, and said, "I can tear up this separation agreement, but we still need to maintain a distance between us. It's a marriage in name only, understand?"

"Okay." Xiao Moran nodded.

"Mom, give it to me! Give it to me!"

DouDou and GuoGuo jumped up impatiently, afraid that their mother would tear up the paper before they could play with it.

Su Xiaonuan gave the family division agreement to the children, and Mo Xi taught them how to tear the paper strips. Then she found an ancient coin and made a paper shuttlecock, which the two children and one adult played wildly with.

"Dou Dou, Guo Guo, Mommy is going to town. Do you want to come? If not, you can stay home and play with your auntie." Su Xiaonuan finished getting ready and came out.

"I want to go too."

Hearing that their mother was going to town, the children suddenly lost interest in playing shuttlecock and rushed towards Su Xiaonuan.

"Sister-in-law, we're going to town soon too."

"You guys?" She glanced at Xiao Moran, who was dressed neatly. "You and your brother are going to the market too?"

"I'm going too." Zhang Yulan finished tidying up the kitchen and came out, raising her hand to smooth her hair. "Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and then we'll leave."

"Are you all going?" Su Xiaonuan was stunned. Usually, if anyone took a break, her mother-in-law would nag incessantly, but now the whole family was going to the market. "Don't you need to work in the fields?"

"No need, the rice harvest is all done, other work isn't important." Zhang Yulan's face was full of smiles. "These days, with you leading everyone, our family and the people in the village have earned some money. I guess many people will go to the market today. It's rare to be so happy, so let's go to the restaurant where you taught people to cook for a meal today."

"No way?" Su Xiaonuan exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, look how scared you are." Mo Xi nudged her with her elbow. "It's true, my mom said the whole family is going out for a nice meal."

Su Xiaonuan turned her gaze to Xiao Moran again and found that he looked really handsome today. His white shirt was tucked into his black suit pants, making him look clean and neat. He had deep features, a tall and straight figure, and every move he made had the demeanor and bearing of a soldier. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

"Go and finish your task on your bicycle first. We'll take care of Dou Dou and Guo Guo." Xiao Moran felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and scratched his head. "After you're done, our family will go to the market."

"Then I'll bring DouDou and GuoGuo with me; it'll make your walk easier."

"Aren't you going to take your straw hat to town?"

"Okay, then I'll take the goods needed for the order first."

Since Su Xiaonuan transmigrated, she hasn't been to the market yet. Every time she goes to town, she's busy teaching people how to cook in the kitchen.

Anyway, she's just going to teach how to make the last two dishes today, and once she's done teaching, her task is complete.

She taught the restaurant chef how to cook ten dishes, and the owner gave her 500 yuan. It was a good deal, equivalent to a year's salary for those staff members. What's even more valuable is that she made a friend like the owner, which greatly expanded her social circle and network.

The restaurant owner was a worldly woman who had worked in Beijing and the provincial capital. Returning to her hometown was like a leaf settling into its roots. She bought land, built a house, and opened Xingwang Restaurant. The location was good, and the restaurant did very well, welcoming customers from all directions.

Xingwang Restaurant is not in the town center, but right next to the national highway. The owner even put up a sign on the highway to guide people to the restaurant, and passing vehicles would stop to eat at Xingwang Restaurant.

Dealing with such a knowledgeable proprietress was very easy for Su Xiaonuan. Although there was a difference of more than 20 years between them, it did not hinder their communication. Despite being a woman, the proprietress was very knowledgeable and experienced. She and Su Xiaonuan hit it off immediately and she was always willing to help Su Xiaonuan.

As soon as Su Xiaonuan arrived at the restaurant entrance, the elegant proprietress came out to greet her.

"Xiao Nuan, why aren't Dou Dou and Guo Guo here?"

She jumped off her bicycle, leaned against it, and unloaded all the goods. "They're here; they're on their way with their families."
