In contrast to the lively and warm Xu family home, a small courtyard not far away was a scene of simmering chaos.
When the Xu family arrived, Lu Sheng took advantage of the crowd to leave and went to an open space to pick some wild vegetables. If she went back empty-handed, she wouldn't have anything to eat today.
"Mother, I'm back." Lu Sheng put down the bamboo basket and called into the house.
"How was it? Did you go to your grandma's house? What did she say? Did she give you anything to eat?" A woman named Sun Mei hurried out of the house.
His clothes were faded from washing, his face was weathered, and he rushed to Lu Sheng, grabbed her shoulders, stared intently at her, his eyes full of hope.
Lu Sheng lowered her eyelids and gently shook her head. The next moment, she was suddenly pushed away. "Useless, useless, you are just a piece of trash. I asked you to do something, but you can't do it."
Sun Mei's previously kind face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, as if she had been provoked, and she roared at Lu Sheng.
"Mom, I picked some wild vegetables. I'll mix them with the dough later and we can make pancakes." Lu Sheng took the bamboo basket that was placed to the side and handed it to Sun Mei.
"Wild vegetables, wild vegetables, wild vegetables all the time, what kind of future do you have? Your grandma's family eats meat, and all you remember is these wild vegetables." Sun Mei was not tall and thin, but her voice was very loud.

Lu Sheng found it very jarring, and his raised hand slowly fell down.
“I didn’t go to my grandma’s house. If I went, they would just kick me out.” After scolding her daughter, Sun Mei started scolding her mother-in-law, so Lu Sheng had no choice but to tell the truth.
"What? You didn't go?" Sun Mei's voice shrieked, her face contorted with anger, her eyes darting around, looking for something to grab.
He happened to see the hemp rope in her basket, snatched it, and lashed it at Lu Sheng without any mercy.
"You're really something. Because of you, your grandma kicked me out and asked me to go back and get some food, but you wouldn't go."
Lu Sheng raised his hand to block, but Sun Mei hit him even harder, and as she hit him, she started to cry.
"Why am I so unlucky?"
"Your grandma kicked me out because of you, how can you treat me like this?"
"Are you trying to kill me?"
Sun Mei threw down the rope, plopped down, and pounded the ground, crying and shouting. Tears streamed down her face, making her look very tragic.

Seeing her like this, Lu Sheng's tears welled up. He couldn't hold back any longer and squatted down to hug her. "Mother." The mother and daughter embraced and cried together.

After finishing their meal, Granny Zhou saw that the Xu family was about to get busy, so she led the whole family home.
"Then I'll come play with you again tomorrow." In the time it takes to eat a meal, Wang Erni had already started playing with Fu Man'er and was now playing house with her. She was reluctant to leave when she was called away.
"Okay," Fu Man'er replied sweetly. Wang Erni thought that this younger sister from the Xu family was not bad.
No sooner had Granny Zhou returned with her people than Old Lady Xu sent Xu Yi over with a piece of meat. Although the other party hadn't asked for anything in return, she couldn't be impolite.
There were still about ten pounds of meat left to sell. Xu Genshan had already cut it up and hung it up, intending to keep it for his own consumption. Old Mrs. Xu was still thinking about which family she owed favors to, and how to repay them while there was still meat left.
"Mother, the blood sausage is all packed, and there's still quite a bit of large intestine left. I put it with the offal," Liu Fang said as she came in.
There wasn't much pig blood left, so we used half of the large intestine. All the pig offal was kept in the corner; my mother-in-law would give it to some dog owners, as throwing it away would be a waste.
"I'll take it out now; it smells bad in the yard." The Xu family's yard has been cleaned up, except for this thing.

When Grandma Xu went out, she saw Fu Man'er squatting in front of the sink, pinching her nose and looking very distressed.
"My dear grandson, go to the side quickly, don't get your clothes dirty. Grandma will take it out to feed the dog." Grandma Xu doted on Fu Man'er more and more.
Fu Man'er was still wondering how the pig offal was made when she heard Grandma Xu say that it was used to feed the dogs. She immediately jumped up and shouted, "Grandma, don't throw it away! Don't throw it away!"
She came up with this money-making idea while eating today. Her mother cooks so well, why not have her make some food to sell? She had seen a lot of food when she was wandering around in her mind.
It's a pity we couldn't eat it back then. If my mother could make it now, she could eat it—oh, no, she could earn money for the family.
Grandma Xu reached out to pick up the bamboo basket, saying, "This thing smells awful, it'll stink even more later, and it'll make our whole yard stink."
Fu Man'er stopped her hand, her big eyes blinking, "Grandma, this can be made into braised food, it's delicious."
"What? What is this?" Old Mrs. Xu thought she had misheard. "My dear girl, we still have some pork. We'll have meat to eat in a few days. Don't worry, this is offal..."
Even if the Xu family is poor, there's no need for them to keep this thing; the smell alone is intoxicating.
"Grandma, it's braised food. You wait here, I'll talk to Mom, she'll definitely be able to make it." After calming down Grandma Xu, Fu Man'er rushed off to find Liu Fang.

My mother is so amazing, she can definitely do it.
But to my surprise, Liu Fang also looked confused, "What braised food? I've never heard of it before, Mother."
Fu Man'er was now anxious, carefully recalling how she had watched others make it, "They just put in bay leaves, cinnamon, and... "
At this point, Fu Man'er regretted it. Why hadn't she listened carefully to what others were playing? There was still half a day left, and she really couldn't figure out what it was.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Liu Fang tentatively said, "And angelica, star anise..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Man'er's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, that's it! I knew it! Mother cooks so well, she would definitely make it too."
These are all high-quality ingredients, she knew about them, but had never used them before. "Man'er, how do you use these things?"
Liu Fang was a little curious about where the girl knew these things, but she didn't take the braised food the girl mentioned to heart. Although she had some cooking skills, she might not be able to make that stuff properly.
She couldn't remember everything, but Fu Man'er could still explain the steps; after all, she'd seen at least eight or a thousand things she hadn't. (m.cascoo.net)
Back then, she was mischievous, and her entire soul even went into the big pot where they made braised dishes, hoping to see if she, the little koi, could be stewed until she was delicious.

Liu Fang had only been listening casually, occasionally agreeing with the girl, but as she listened, she stopped what she was doing.
When she was little, her father took her to the kitchen to do odd jobs, where she secretly learned some skills. In addition, she had a talent for cooking, so her skills were good. What Fu Man'er said was entirely feasible.
"My dear daughter, you are truly a lucky star for our Xu family." Liu Fang hugged Fu Man'er and kissed her several times before eagerly heading into the yard.
Fu Man'er was left stunned. "Mommy just kissed me! Hehe, I'm so happy!"
