When I got home, I placed the small porcelain bowl containing the braised pork on the stove. I didn't need to wash it; I just scooped out the shredded potatoes in a little while.

After Luo Chen opened the pot lid, Xiao Yunying stirred the food a couple of times with a rice spoon, pinched off a little bit, and put it in her mouth.

"Great! The rice is steamed perfectly."

It's neither too soft nor too hard, and there's a layer of golden-brown crispy rice crust at the bottom.

Luo Chen pretended not to hear, went to the cupboard to take out a bowl, but his reddened ear tips betrayed his mood.

I put the steamer rack on the rice and used the steam from the rice to heat up the braised pork. Then I put the rice into a rice bowl, cleaned the pan, and stir-fried some shredded potatoes with vinegar.

Xiao Yunying originally wanted to make hot and sour shredded potatoes, but she didn't add any because she thought Luo Xin was too young to eat spicy food.

The fragrant dishes were served, and everyone had a plate of white rice in front of them, but no one rushed to pick up their chopsticks.

The rules are good.

Xiao Yunying took a spoon and sat down: "Alright, eat up."

With permission granted, Luo Li quickly picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth: "Big brother, second brother, eat this meat quickly, it's delicious."

Luo Chen rolled her eyes at her good-for-nothing younger brother: "Slow down, no one's going to take it from you."

Xiao Yunying picked up a piece of braised pork and brought it to Luo Xin's lips.

Luo Xin shook her head: "Mom, put me down and I'll eat by myself."

"You have to eat it yourself."

"Mom, I can eat by myself."

"All right."

Xiao Yunying placed Luo Xin on the stool next to her, used a spoon to scoop some of the braised pork broth to mix with her rice, and then picked up a few pieces of braised pork and shredded potatoes.

"Eat slowly, and tell Mom what you want to eat."

"Okay, thank you, Mother."

Luo Chen and Luo Yang each ate a piece of braised pork, glanced at each other, then looked away and ate their meal in silence.

Xiao Yunying tasted the braised pork she had made and nodded in satisfaction.

She didn't use the original owner's rough porcelain bowl; she only filled a regular-sized bowl halfway with rice.

That's right, she wants to lose weight, and the first thing she does is control her diet.

While controlling herself, she instructed the children: "Luo Li, don't eat too much meat at once. You haven't had meat for a long time, and your stomach needs time to adjust. Eating too much oily food will give you diarrhea."

"Okay, I understand."

Luo Li reluctantly moved her chopsticks from the braised pork to the shredded potatoes.

"Don't look so reluctant. If you like it, I'll make it for you again later."

Luo Li shoveled rice and shredded potatoes into her mouth: "Don't you know our family's situation? We're not rich people who eat meat every day."

Hey, shredded potatoes are delicious too.

"If I say it's possible, then it's definitely possible. As long as your body can handle it, you can eat it every day without any problem."

"real?"

"Fake."

"ah……"

Looking at Luo Li's blank expression, Xiao Yunying laughed out loud: "I'm not teasing you anymore, hurry up and eat."

After dinner, Luo Chen took the initiative to clean the table and wash the dishes.

Xiao Yunying took Luo Xin for a walk to digest her food.

After circling the courtyard wall a few times, Luo Xin returned home and dawdled, refusing to go to sleep, staying right next to Xiao Yunying.

As darkness fell completely, the little girl couldn't take it anymore: "Mom, I want to sleep with you."

"all right."

Even if they are siblings, there is still a difference between boys and girls. The little girl is growing up day by day and it is no longer suitable for her to live with her brothers.

Luo Xin was surprised that her mother agreed so quickly, and smiled happily.

My mother used to hate it when I bothered her, but she's so nice to me today.

Lying in bed with her mother, covered by a blanket, the little girl still felt a sense of unreality.

Half-asleep, she rolled over and snuggled into Xiao Yunying's arms: "Mother, you're so kind today."

Xiao Yunying patted the little girl on the back: "Don't worry, Mother will always be good to you from now on."

The three brothers in another room were also discussing it.

Luo Li licked his lips, savoring the taste of braised pork: "Big brother, do you think that woman has really changed for the better?"

"Who knows?"

Luo Yang said softly, "When she first came to this family, she was very kind to us."

Although I didn't know anything, I kept trying to learn.

How did they treat her back then?

They were just strangers living under the same roof, neither warm nor cold to each other.

It happened last year, but Luo Li remembered it: "She only went astray after she got sick."

Luo Yang said quietly, "This time, I only got better after I got sick."

Luo Li sat up: "I remember she said she had a brush with death and had come to a realization about many things. What kind of place is the Gates of Hell? It's so powerful that it can turn bad people into good people."

Luo Chen patted his silly younger brother's shoulder: "Lie down and go to sleep, stop talking nonsense."

“The Gates of Hell must be a good place.” Luo Li lay down and muttered to herself, “I know, I can’t let her get sick in the future. As long as she doesn’t get sick, she shouldn’t go astray anymore.”

Luo Chen turned over, turning his back to Luo Li, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

Seeing that her two older brothers ignored her, Luo Li drifted off to sleep while savoring the braised pork.

Luo Yang stared intently at the roof beam, seemingly lost in thought.
