"I help my sister wash the vegetables!"

He tactfully took the ingredients from Ruan Mengmeng's hand and washed them bit by bit, imitating her.

"Okay, you wash the vegetables first, I'll go stir-fry the ingredients. When the vegetables are washed and the ingredients are almost ready, we can start eating."

Ruan Mengmeng did not refuse him, and she never stopped him if he wanted to help with the work.

Home is a home for two people, and housework should be shared by both parties.

Otherwise, she would get tired of cooking and washing dishes every day.

"Um!"

This time, Ruan Zilong nodded seriously.

Thinking of the taste of hot pot, his saliva was almost watering.

Licking his lips, he washed the vegetables faster.

In the kitchen.

There was a crackling sound, and then a puff of white smoke came out of the chimney, mixed with a numbing and spicy smell.

Floating in the air, the breeze blows and the fragrance drifts away.

A moment later, Ruan Mengmeng's voice sounded from the kitchen.

"Little brother, have you washed the vegetables?"

“It will be ready soon!”

Ruan Zilong fished out the last few vegetables, put them in a clean basket, and then poured out the water.

After placing the enamel basin, he picked up the basket and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

Ruan Mengmeng added the fried hot pot base to water, then picked up the sesame paste and started to prepare the dipping sauce.

"Put it on the chopping board!"

Seeing her younger brother coming in with washed vegetables, she motioned for him to put the basket on the chopping board.

“It smells so good~”

After Ruan Zilong put down the basket, he took a few deep breaths and then praised.

"I didn't make it too spicy. You can try it later. It should taste okay!"

Ruan Mengmeng said as she prepared the dipping sauce.

"Um!"

Ruan Zilong had no objection. It was good enough to have hotpot to eat. There was no need to have so many problems.

After a while, the iron pot on the stove began to boil.

Gulp~Gulp~

Ruan Mengmeng picked up the plate and put the washed meat and meatballs into a large plate all at once.

"Little brother, your dipping sauce~"

Then she handed him the prepared dip.

She added some chili oil to the remaining one for herself.

Ruan Zilong was young and he didn't dare to eat spicy dipping sauce.

Ruan Mengmeng didn't want to give it to him, she only gave some to herself.

"Yeah!" Ruan Zilong has eaten hot pot several times during the days he followed Ruan Mengmeng.

He knew about the dipping sauce without her explaining it.

After adding the chili oil, Ruan Mengmeng turned her head and saw that the meat in the big iron pot was almost cooked.

She picked up a few pieces of meat with her chopsticks and put them in Ruan Zilong's bowl.

"Eat meat!" After saying that, she picked up a few more pieces, put them into her bowl, stirred them a little, let the meat be coated with the dipping sauce, and then stuffed them into her mouth.

"It smells so good!" Ruan Zilong took a big bite, chewed it for a few times, and praised.

"Well, the meatballs will be cooked soon!" Ruan Mengmeng nodded and added.

It smells really good!

I haven't had hotpot for a while recently, and I'm really craving it.

It’s inconvenient to eat when you’re out, so it’s better to be at home.

Do whatever you want, without worrying about other people's eyes or being sneaky.

The brother and sister spent more than forty minutes on the meal.

The soup base wasn’t that spicy, but a thin layer of sweat still appeared on the foreheads of both of them.

Ruan Mengmeng took out some iced sour plum juice from the space and paired it with the hot pot, which finally made the food less hot.

After dinner, Ruan Zilong took care of all the housework as usual.

Ruan Mengmeng had no objection. She got some fruit, cut it into a large plate, and sat in a cool place to rest.

…..

Zhang family.

After sending the siblings back, Zhang Xinxin hummed a little tune as she walked into the house.

"Mom!" She called out habitually as soon as she stepped into the main room.

"Hey, I'm in the kitchen!" At this time, Bai Rong was killing a chicken in the kitchen!

The hen that Zhang Xinxin bought has not been killed yet.

In the evening, she wanted to make chicken soup for Zhang Sinian. While the patient was resting, she ran to the kitchen to kill a chicken.

When Zhang Xinxin found the kitchen, Bai Rong was squatting on the ground, plucking the feathers of a chicken!

"Mom, let me help you!" As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to squat down.

"What help do you need? It smells so bad here. Just don't stretch your hands. Go and add some water to the pot. I'll need it later!"

She frowned and stopped Zhang Xinxin.

This kid, why is she helping me? It’s just one chicken, she can finish it in a short time.

"Oh..." Zhang Xinxin scratched his scalp and walked in dejectedly.

By the time the mother and daughter finished their work, it was already getting dark.

However, at this time, a fragrant aroma also came out of the casserole on the stove.

The big hen is stewed inside.

Bai Rong slaughters and cleans the chicken, then adds water, dates, and wolfberries.

There is also old ginseng dug from the mountains, which is added all at once and stewed together.

The fragrance wafted out from the lid of the casserole, and the strong aroma filled the entire small kitchen.

At dinner, Zhang Sinian got the chicken soup as he wished.

The next day, Ruan Mengmeng and her brother slept until the sun was shining on their buttocks before getting up.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she looked at the light coming through the window and stretched.

I lifted my sleeves and looked. It was half past nine.

Get up and start cutting grass for pigs today.

Re-enter her retirement life.

"Little brother, get up!" While it was still not too late, she prepared to take her little brother up the mountain.

"Get up immediately!" Ruan Zilong's voice in the room was a little muffled.

After quickly washing up, Ruan Mengmeng put on the backpack in the yard and went out with her brother.

I didn’t make breakfast at home, so it was a bit late.

We’ll eat when we get to the mountain.

There is all kinds of food in this space, so you won’t be hungry.

It’s too hot in the afternoon, so try to prepare the necessary pig grass in the morning so you don’t have to go out in the afternoon.

There are only so many tasks to do every day. Finish them early and go home to rest early.

She was still thinking about one thing in her mind. She wanted to take out some pheasants, wild ducks or something like that while she was going up the mountain to nourish someone.

As for personally delivering food and soup to your home, forget it.

These days, it’s too feudal.

There is too much gossip in the village.

There are also many people who like gossip.

The relationship between the two of them is still a bit awkward now.

They are a couple, but they are not engaged yet.

To say that they are strangers has already broken the window paper.

I can only go to the house to deliver gifts after the engagement.

Otherwise, it will cause a lot of gossip.

Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things, let’s finish today’s pig grass task first!

I haven't been up the mountain for many days.

Ruan Zilong's eyes sparkled.

His favorite thing is to go up the mountain to look for treasure.

Regardless of whether it is a treasure or not, he just likes the process of treasure hunting.

"Sister, should we go into the mountains?" In the past, when they went treasure hunting, his sister would take him into the mountains.
