Sanyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

After checking on the sleeping Xiao Yuanyuan inside the house, Ye Wenxue rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook.

She gave an explanation:

"Wait at the door for your eldest brother to come back. Don't run around, especially Shuangshuang and Siwang."

Siwang responded listlessly.

He didn't run around recklessly every time.

But after hearing Ye Wenxue's account of the bad guys' scheme last night, and knowing that he had almost been caught, he was still shaken and could only purse his lips before following her to the door to wait.

Dazhuang went to the outskirts of Shuixi Village.

People fled the famine, but the fields and land remained.

It's almost autumn harvest season again.

Dazhuang went to check on the crops growing in the fields of Shuixi Village. If he was lucky, he might be able to add a few more bites to his family's food supply.

Ye Wenxue knew the drought was severe, and the fields were probably all abandoned. Everything that could be taken away had already been taken. She didn't want him to waste his efforts.

But Da Zhuang wouldn't give up until he went to see him, so Ye Wenxue let him go.

The field is not far from the village; you can see Dazhuang bending over and scratching the goose from the village entrance or the courtyard gate.

In the simple kitchen, Ye Wenxue washed the eggplants and three pounds of pork she had bought, cut the eggplants into long strips and set them aside, then took the pork and placed it on the cutting board.

The pork was very fatty, and it was very oily when I carried it.

She finely chopped the pork into small pieces, set aside a portion, and prepared to use it for stir-frying later.

Put all the remaining pork into a clean pot, and then pour in a small half ladle of spiritual spring water.

Just as Ye Wenxue was about to squat down to add firewood and stoke the fire, Sanyuan ran in carrying a small stool and a palm-leaf fan, and sat down next to her:

"Mom, let me start the fire. I... I'm really good at starting a fire."

Ye Wenxue smiled and said, "Okay, be careful and don't get too close to the fire."

Sanyuan nodded and picked up the dry firewood at his feet, putting it under the stove.

The iron pot heats up faster, and before long the meat in the pot began to boil and bubble, rendering oil.

The kitchen was filled with the pleasant aroma of oil.

Sanyuan looked up at Ye Wenxue flipping the meat in the pot and couldn't help but swallow.
