In her memory, her two older brothers were quite fun.
The two Xiao brothers, Xiao Yunsong and Xiao Yunbai, were six years older than her and five years older, respectively. They got married one year apart, following the usual pattern. As if in a competition, they took turns having children.
Hmm... it's also thanks to the support of the sister-in-law.
The difference is that the eldest brother has three sons, the second brother has two sons, and the youngest is a daughter.
This made Xiao Yunsong, who inherited his parents' tendency to dote on their daughters, feel upset for a long time, and he often complained about why his wife hadn't given him a daughter.
Zhang was also helpless. Everyone else was worried about not being able to have a son, but why was she the one who was worried about not being able to have a daughter?
She could only watch as her husband would secretly send his son to her second brother's room to steal the girl out for him to admire.
When Mu Lianrong saw her daughter bring her meat again, she said that she didn't need to bring it anymore and that she should keep it for herself, but her mouth was practically stretched to her ears with a grin.
"Mom, is my cooking not good?"
Mu Lianrong hurriedly explained, afraid that she would upset her daughter if she was too slow: "How could that be? It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious braised pork in my whole life. If you don't believe me, ask the children in the family. They've licked the bowls clean."
The children nodded rapidly: "It's really delicious, Auntie."
"As long as it tastes good, that's fine. I thought Mom didn't like my cooking."
Mu Lianrong stopped saying that her daughter shouldn't give gifts. If her daughter wanted to give gifts, she could give them; she could just secretly reimburse her for the gifts later.
"Mom, I'm leaving now. The children are waiting for me at home for dinner."
"Go back quickly, don't let my daughter go hungry."
Mu Lianrong personally saw her daughter off at the door, and when she returned, she saw several children staring at the ribs without moving.
I picked up a piece and ate it myself; the sweet and sour taste was incredibly appetizing.
He put down his chopsticks and said, "Let each of you have a piece to try, and save the rest for dinner."
The children couldn't wait any longer and all reached for their chopsticks. Wang also picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
"It's sweet and sour, and quite delicious."
Zhang echoed, "Yes, this is the first time I've seen ribs cooked like this. I wonder who my aunt learned it from."
Wang spat out a bone: "Who can my little sister learn from? She stays in that thatched hut all day embroidering and hardly ever goes out."
After saying that, a thought struck her: "Mom, don't you think my aunt has changed a bit? She suddenly knows how to cook and she smiles more often."
Mu Lianrong dipped her chopsticks in the pork rib broth and let her granddaughter taste it, giving Wang a disapproving look:
"Can't even a meal shut you up? My daughter is so smart, so what if she can cook? You can't even laugh? Would you be happy if she cried all the time?"
Wang turned her head away: "I didn't say that."
"Hurry up and eat, then go and sweep the chicken coop."
"Yes, Mother."
Meanwhile, Xiao Yunying returned home, where the children sat obediently at the dining table, all waiting for her.
Hmm, that's kind of heartwarming.
Xiao Yunying placed an empty plate in front of Luo Xin: "Everyone's waiting for me."
"My older brother said that Mom works very hard cooking for us, and the food tastes better when we eat together with Mom when she comes back."
Luo Chen's ears turned red, but Xiao Yunying didn't tease him. "Alright, let's eat."
Seeing her bowl full of rice, even though she hadn't touched it, she felt too embarrassed to put any more rice into the rice bowl.
Eat up, it's not like you're short of half a bowl of rice. You need to be full to have the energy to lose weight.
As she picked up a piece of pork rib and ate it, Xiao Yunying thought to herself, "It's so delicious."
Whether it was psychological or not, she felt that pork in ancient times was much more fragrant than pork in her previous life.
She picked up a little of each dish and put it on a plate, then pushed it in front of Luo Xin: "Xin'er, eat here. Tell your mother when you're done."
With a piece of pork rib stuffed in her small mouth, Luo Xin mumbled, "Okay."
Sweet and sour dishes have always been popular with girls and children, and this is also true here.
Even Luo Chen, who had been restraining himself, couldn't resist and ate several pieces of ribs before starting on other dishes.
After satisfying her craving with two pieces of pork ribs, Xiao Yunying set her sights on scrambled eggs with tomatoes and smashed cucumber.
After finishing her meal, Xiao Yunying was clearing the table when Luo Chen, just like yesterday, snatched the bowl from her hands.
After wiping the table clean, I took a rag and went into the kitchen, where I saw Luo Chen washing dishes with a handful of wood ash.
...Although she knew that wood ash wasn't as dirty as she thought, and even had some medicinal value, she always felt that it couldn't be washed clean.
Oh well, a little dirt won't hurt you.
Take out the pig liver, wash it twice with clean water, cut it into thick slices, and put it back into the basin of water to rinse it twice more.
Finally, change the water, add a small amount of white vinegar, and let it soak.
After cleaning the pig liver, she had nothing to do. Watching Luo Chen wash the dishes, she used a gourd ladle to scoop water from the vat and drink it.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Luo Chen froze as if someone had struck an acupoint, and Xiao Yunying asked, "Have you been drinking unboiled water all this time?"
Luo Chen, puzzled, replied, "Yes."
"You can't drink unboiled water, it's easy to get sick."
Unlike the tap water in her previous life, the well water here didn't have any bleach or other strange smells, so she didn't pay attention to that. She habitually assumed that everyone in the world boiled water before drinking it, but she didn't realize that she had been drinking raw water all along.
“You used to forbid us from boiling water, saying it was a waste of firewood.”
Xiao Yunying: ...Sigh, it's her fault again.
