"Big sister, let me cook lunch for you today, so you can try my cooking."

Wei Yuyan thought she would show off her skills to her sister and brother-in-law.

"Great! I can't wait! By the way, do you keep chickens at home?"

Wei Yuhan carried Yueyue to the chicken coop, thinking about catching a chicken to take back to her younger sister later.

"I've raised several of them, but unfortunately they haven't laid eggs yet. But it'll be soon; they should lay eggs in about a month."

"Then I won't need to buy eggs anymore. We eat dozens of eggs every month."

Wei Yuyan thought that if all the chickens laid eggs at the same time, she could eat eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the next day.

"I have a few new chickens and a few old chickens here. You can take an old chicken back with you later."

"Keep them to lay eggs, or kill them and make soup; it's all a small token of my appreciation."

Wei Yuhan's family has ten chickens, six of which are new chickens from this year, and four are old chickens from last year.

"No, sister, there are three people in your family too. You can keep it to kill and eat chicken during the New Year."

Wei Yuyan shook her head and refused.

"I'm back. I bought some pig's trotters today. How would you like to eat them?"

Chen Yu walked in happily, carrying two pig trotters.

"Let me do it, brother-in-law. I'll let you try my cooking at noon today. Do you have any wine at home?"

Wei Yuyan wants to make braised pig's trotters, which requires wine.

"Yes, let me look for it."

Chen Yu searched high and low, turning everything upside down.

"Put in less alcohol, otherwise Yueyue will get drunk after drinking her older sister's milk."

Wei Yuyan realized that her older sister was breastfeeding and couldn't drink too much alcohol.

"What other vegetables do you want? I'll go to the garden and pick them."

Chen Yu picked up his vegetable basket and prepared to pick vegetables.

"Water cabbage, or other vegetables like eggplant and green beans will also work, but we don't have any potatoes at home."

Wei Yuyan wanted to add some side dishes to the pig's trotters, but after thinking about it, she decided that potatoes would taste the best.

"I don't have any at home, but my mom has some. I'll go get them in a bit."

Chen Yu took his vegetable basket and went out to pick vegetables first.

"Hey girl, Xiao Lei, Qianqian, I'm here."

Wei Yuyan hadn't even started cooking the rice when Brother Licai arrived.

"Brother Licai, why are you so late today? It's almost time for dinner and you're only just arriving."

Wei Yuyan was curious.

"Something came up today, so I'm a little late."

Li Cai scratched his head.

"It's alright, you should rest for a bit. We'll set off again this afternoon after you've rested. You must be tired from your journey."

After saying that, Wei Yuyan went back to the kitchen to cook.

"Drink water, Brother Licai."

Wei Yuhan brought water to Li Cai Ge.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Cai was thirsty, so he picked it up and drank it slowly.

"Brother Licai, how is my puppy?"

"And my little flower."

When the two children saw Brother Licai arrive, they immediately surrounded him and asked how their little dog was doing.

"Don't worry, it's very good, really good. You'll see when you get back this afternoon."

Brother Li Cai replied gently.

"That's good".

The two children breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving a positive answer and looked forward to going home in the afternoon.

"Come on, dinner's ready! A big pot of stewed potatoes and pig's trotters, stir-fried cabbage, dry-fried eggplant and green beans, and stir-fried eggs with chili peppers."

Wei Yuyan brought the dishes to the table, and Wei Yuhan was shocked when she looked over. Was this really her sister's cooking?

I remember my sister used to cook, but her skills weren't as good as mine. Now, the food she makes is truly delicious and visually appealing.

"Yu Yan, who taught you to cook these dishes? They're so good."

Wei Yuhan took a bite and thought the dish was probably just as delicious as the food in restaurants.

Although I've never eaten at the restaurant myself, every time I've passed by, it smelled especially delicious.

"I just cook whatever I want, I don't know anyone to teach me, but there's one thing that makes me different from you guys."

That's because I added a little too much oil, which is why it smells so good.

Wei Yuyan was relatively restrained at her sister's house, but she still used more oil when cooking than her sister usually did.

"I see. I'll try it next time. If I add more oil, the dish will definitely be more fragrant."

Wei Yuhan nodded, thinking that next Mid-Autumn Festival she would splurge a little and use more oil when cooking.

"Eat more, come on."

Chen Yu stood up and scooped a spoonful of pig's trotters for each of them.

"So delicious~".

Qianqian ate her fill.

"Take a nap, Brother Licai, go and rest in that room."

After dinner, Wei Yuyan helped clean up the dishes and told Li Cai to take a short rest before setting off again around 3 PM.

"Yu Yan, I really can't bear to part with you. Why did we both end up marrying so far away?"

Looking at her younger sister, Wei Yuhan felt as if she had returned to her childhood, also on such a hot summer day.

After the two sisters finished eating, they lay on the bed and chatted, sharing their thoughts and what kind of husbands they wanted to marry in the future.

"It's alright, sister. Now that I know you live here, I'll come to see you often, or write to you. Is your husband literate?"

In Wei Yuyan's memory, her older sister was illiterate.

“He is literate; he said he attended school for a year before.”

Wei Yuhan was also happy to hear that she could write letters.

"Okay, I understand."

Wei Yuyan nodded. If she doesn't have time to come over in the future, she can write a letter.

In the late afternoon, the group of four set off. In Wei Yuyan's basket, there was a chicken that was tripping her up—an old hen.

My sister and brother-in-law insisted on giving it to me, and if I refused again, my sister would definitely be unhappy.

So Wei Yuyan accepted it, which put her sister and brother-in-law at ease.

"Hey girl, business's been pretty good these past few days."

Li Cai and Wei Yuyan chatted idly on the road.

"That's good. By the way, are there more people buying mushroom buns?"

Wei Yuyan was thinking about the mushroom and meat sauce buns.

"No, but the dozens of mushroom buns I made at the market were all sold out, there were none left."

Li Cai recalled for a moment.

"That's good. It might take another two months."

Wei Yuyan knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

"We've arrived."

Upon reaching the village entrance, the two children nearly jumped for joy; they were finally home.

"Okay, we'll get off here. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Licai."

Wei Yuyan decided to get off here and walk over to avoid being seen by the villagers and causing gossip.

"Okay, by the way, your house key."

Li Cai took out the key and handed it over.

"See you later."

The two children had already run far away, and Wei Yuyan quickly chased after them.

"Sister-in-law, come and open the door quickly, I heard Xiaohua calling me."

The two children were pressing their faces against the door, calling their dog's name.

"Okay~".

Wei Yuyan couldn't wait to open the door, wondering if the house had been completely messed up by the puppy.

"Little Flower".

"Little Black".

Wow~.

As soon as she opened the door, the two puppies rushed over. Only then did Wei Yuyan notice that the yard was very clean, even cleaner than the day she left.

It must have been Sister-in-law Zhang or Brother Licai who cleaned it.
