"Mom, I'm so hungry~" After washing his hands, Liu Tiao ran to get the bowl. Before taking it, he did not forget to take a look at the steaming dishes on the stove.

"If you're hungry, go eat. Bring these two dishes over first..." Cheng Zhenzhu cooked a big fish today, making two dishes out of it: boiled fish meat and chopped pepper fish head. She also planned to stir-fry mushrooms.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Yi Tiao touched the edge of the bowl of boiled fish which was still a little hot, and didn't let his brothers take it.

"Come here, come here. I'll serve this." Er Tiao, who was pushed aside, brought the pot of chopped pepper fish head.

A few minutes later, the last dish of stir-fried mushrooms was served...

The whole family was very satisfied eating the delicious fish with white rice and mushroom soup.

This was a pretty carefree day, so carefree that I couldn't help but go out and show off for a few afternoons. While other families have fish and mushrooms, they can't make them as delicious as my mom's! My mom's cooking is the best! No arguments!

You can tell it's delicious just by smelling it. The eldest and second kids were envious of the seven different kids bragging about their unique ways. The second kid and the second kid were having a great time, and couldn't help but say, "I wish they could trade places for a day..."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Er Tiao thought that his good friend Er Wa must want to try his mother's cooking again, so he went home and told his mother about it.

Cheng Zhenzhu understood after hearing this. She rarely invited people to her house for dinner, but her eldest and second sons were good kids. Sometimes they would bring her a portion of any seafood they found, so she would occasionally leave some food for them.

Besides, she has connections with Er Tiao and Sister Yumei, so she plans to treat a few kids to a good meal tomorrow...

"Aunt Zhenzhu, we are happy to eat here!" The next day, the eldest and second child came to play with the little Sanhai. They were invited to stay for a delicious meal and could not bear to refuse. They answered this question almost in unison.

They are really brothers... Cheng Zhenzhu was amused by the two suddenly serious faces. She nodded and asked them to wait while she went to cook.

Sitting on the ground, the little Sanhai kid hummed "oh oh" with his little mouth, looked at his brother who jumped up, then looked at his brother who jumped far away, shook his little hands, and followed suit in confusion to join in the atmosphere...

After the eldest and second child had their fun, they decided they had to talk to their mother first. But who should they talk to?

Erwa: "Brother, you go."

Da Wa: "You go, I want to watch San Hai!"

Erwa: "You don't need to watch Sanhai!"

"You don't have to see that..." The eldest child kicked his younger brother, and the second child pushed the eldest child. In the end, the two children were unwilling to give in to each other, so they had to go back together.

As for little Sanhai, he was having a lot of fun playing with his brother Jiutiao on the mat on the ground, and refused to leave no matter what... The eldest and second kids also had their own ideas. They thought, "Brother Sanhai should stay here. This way, mother will be more willing to let them come!"

As they were thinking, the two brothers went home in high spirits, but when they arrived in the kitchen, they suddenly became speechless.

"Where is your brother Sanhai?" You Yumei was busy in the kitchen. She saw her eldest and second sons popping their heads out one after another, staring at her quietly at the door, feeling a little surprised.

"Mom, Aunt Zhenzhu invited us to dinner because Sanhai refused to come back. Aunt Zhenzhu steamed eggs for Sanhai." Da Wa straightened his body and said.

This time it was Aunt Pearl who invited them to dinner, not them who asked to stay on purpose!

"Aunt Zhenzhu specially steamed eggs for Sanhai!" Erwa said hurriedly.

"Aunt Zhenzhu also cooked for us!" Big Brother realized it and quickly added.

You Yumei was also amused when she saw her two nervous and greedy boys. She waved her hand and said, "I know, I know. You go ahead. Here, take this with you, don't go empty-handed." You Yumei took a basin, picked out half of the fried clams, and asked the eldest boy to get half a bucket of fresh ones.

"Mom, Yitiao's family has a lot of razor clams. They picked up a lot yesterday, and there are also squids. Yitiao said that their grilled squid tentacles are delicious..." As Da Wa spoke, he couldn't help drooling.

Because their mother and Yitiao's mother were close, Yitiao treated him very well. He often shared delicious food with him. When he brought lunch to school, he would always give him some vegetables. However, Yitiao had never tried the grilled squid tentacles they mentioned...

"As long as we have a home, we can return home. This is our intention and it is different." You Yumei looked at her eldest son who was not very worldly-wise and said earnestly.

"Yes, it's a token of my appreciation. Mom, please bring more gifts. My brother and I will bring a big bucket over!" After hearing this, Erwa nodded like pounding garlic, and then began to look for a big bucket everywhere.

When You Yumei heard what her silly second son said, she was silent for a moment, but she didn't feel bad about it. She immediately found a big bucket and a big ladle and asked him to scoop more scoops...

When Sanhai's mother, Li Xiaoyu, came to the kitchen and heard that her son had stayed at Yitiao's house for dinner, she immediately expressed her gratitude and asked Da Wa to take the two fine fish that his father had just brought back.

Seeing the fish, Erwa was less enthusiastic about picking up the clams. He thought fish was better than clams, as clams didn't have much meat... "Then, brother, I'll carry the fish and you carry the clams."

"Why? I'm carrying fish!" Big Boy objected. Carrying fish is prestigious! Don't think he doesn't know that this big bucket of clams is not worth as much as the two fish Auntie gave him. Razor clams are something no one wants. When the tide goes out, just pick up some and you'll have a big bucket of them...

"I'll bring it up, I'll bring it up!" Erwa said, looking at his mother expectantly, "Mom, you tell me, who brought it up?"

"What are you arguing about?" You Yumei tapped each of her sons. "If you both want to catch fish, why don't you each catch one?"

Li Xiaoyu covered his mouth and laughed. These two nephews can be really funny sometimes...

"Oh, that's right!" The eldest boy touched his head, as if he just realized it.

"Then I'll take this one!" Erwa also reacted and chose a larger fish. Then he continued to dig for clams and took both.

The eldest son naturally took the lead.

Finally, the two brothers each carried a big fish and a large bucket of clams to their dear Aunt Pearl's house.

Alas! You Yumei sighed as she looked at the bowl of fried clams she had picked out, forgotten on the stove.

Well, they all look down on her fried clams...

******

"Why did you bring so many clams? And two fish." Cheng Zhenzhu saw that Da Wa and Er Wa had red marks on their hands from holding things, and she felt touched by Sister Yumei's politeness.

"Mom said it was a gift from her heart. The clams are a gift from mom, and these two fish are a gift from my aunt." Erwa said with shining eyes.

"Aunt Pearl, we picked up a lot!" Big Boy had also caught on, even showing off. The smell from the kitchen was just too good! He'd heard a saying in his family that whoever behaved well got more, so he said that.

Of course, it was a bit embarrassing to say this to him, who knew what he was doing when he was already in middle school. But with all the delicious food in front of him, who cared? He was going to be a big treasure too!
