Cornmeal porridge, shredded pickled vegetables, cabbage drizzled with hot oil and Sichuan peppercorns, and some steamed buns made with two kinds of flour.

She loves cornmeal porridge with pickled vegetable shreds and can drink two bowls in one go.

Perhaps because there had been plenty of oily food these past few days, the two kids ate very well.

What makes Zhao Qinglan most gratified is that she has secured a deal with the source of flour and pork for the snack shop, ensuring that her family will have enough meat to eat every month.

They don't eat meat every meal. In the past, their monthly ration only allowed them to eat meat two or three times a month. Now, at least they can eat meat every other day.

She wanted to start a business to make money in order to improve her family's living conditions. Now that the snack shop can get meat, what does it matter if she feeds her family a few more meals?

After finishing the meal and tidying up with the children, Zhao Qinglan waved her hand dismissively.

"I won't ask you to study today. Go out and play if you want."

"Oh, that's great!" Erwa clapped and cheered.

Zhao Qinglan also generously gave one child a dime as pocket money, calling it a reward for the children's help over the past few days.

There was even pocket money, just a dime! Even the usually calm eldest child beamed with joy.

You can buy two of the most ordinary candies for a penny, and you can buy quite a lot for ten cents!

After instructing the children to put on their clothes, hats, and scarves, Zhao Qinglan let them leave.

As for her, she took her shoe-making tools and went next door to chat and work with Wu Mei.

Life isn't always so dramatic and eventful.

Even if life is ordinary, as long as her family is by her side, and she is safe and happy, she is happiest.

Sometimes, a simple and peaceful life is the best.
