Upon hearing this, Father Liu stopped drinking the ginger soup and brown sugar water. He lifted the lid of the clay pot and saw the neatly arranged cured meat and vegetables inside. He sniffed it closely, then gave Xuemei a thumbs-up and said, "This has all the colors and aromas. It must be good!"
Xuemei raised her eyebrows proudly at Han Chen when she heard this. Han Chen grabbed Xuemei's hand under the table and, while Mr. and Mrs. Liu were paying attention to the casserole rice, leaned close to Xuemei's ear and whispered, "The food you cook will always be number one in my heart!"
Xuemei turned her head and smiled with her lips pursed.
After everyone finished drinking, Xuemei first used chopsticks to put two pieces of bacon into each person's bowl, then used a rice spoon to stir the casserole rice evenly, and then served a full bowl to Liu's father, Liu's mother, and Han Chen. Xuemei took the largest bowl in the house, and then poured the remaining food into her own bowl, which was also a large bowl.

Han Chen was not afraid that Xuemei would eat more. As soon as Xuemei was ready to eat the rice, he picked up his chopsticks and wanted to give it to Xuemei. Xuemei shook her head and said, "This is enough for me. You can eat yours yourself. If you and Dad are not full, I have roasted some sweet potatoes in the stove. Bring them over after dinner!"
Han Chen then picked up his chopsticks and started eating his meal. The whole family liked this casserole rice, but Xuemei and Liu's mother thought it would be better if more chili was added.
Finally, the family unanimously decided to wait for Qingya and her two siblings to come back in a few days and then let Xuemei make casserole rice again.
The rain didn't stop all night, and it started raining again the next morning when Xuemei went to work. Liu's father and the others were resting at home today. After Xuemei put on her straw raincoat, she also took the oilcloth umbrella at home. This was brought by Han Chen. He spent ten yuan to buy it, and the whole family treasured this umbrella.
