Xie Mingzhu straightened up in a second, quickly turned her head to the other side, and pretended that nothing was wrong.
No way.
“Mom and Dad, you both have work to do, I understand. I also have my own things to do.”
Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan smiled; they both knew what Xie Mingzhu was talking about.
She is very motivated and studies every day, actively responding to literacy campaigns, and has even enrolled in night school, which will start soon.
“We’ve heard about the night school, and your dad and I both think your decision is very wise.”
"Women in the new era should maintain a lifelong learning attitude and constantly improve themselves, which is a good thing."
"yes."
Xie Wenyuan also expressed his support: "No matter when, it's never too late to start working hard and making progress."
"If you need any help, just call me and your mom."
"Or you can ask your younger brother and sister-in-law for help at home, which is the same thing."
Xie Zhiyan nodded: "Sister, don't be so polite with me."
Shu Ying immediately responded.
“That’s right, sister. If you want to learn a foreign language, I can tutor you regularly.”
"By the way, I also have a lot of professional books. If you need them, just let me know, and I might be able to find some for you in various fields."
Speaking of books...
Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shu Ying, and then he remembered the question he had asked last night.
Shu Ying seemed oblivious, continuing to smile at Xie Mingzhu.
Xie Mingzhu's smile towards Shu Ying held even more gratitude.
She turned to look at her family, her heart filled with emotion.
"I never imagined I could have such wonderful family members, such a wonderful home..."
Back when she lived in the Song family, the family she imagined and longed for was one where family members were harmonious, there was no worry about food and clothing, and people could read, or at least recognize some basic commonly used characters.
It was limited to commonly used characters, because most farmers didn't have that much time. They mainly focused on farming. Being able to recognize common characters and understand some announcements and leisure books was already quite an achievement. She didn't have time to learn anything more.
She originally thought that was already very good, with enlightened parents, relatives willing to help her, and a warm and loving family environment.
In this home, there is no scolding or coercion, but rather mutual respect, encouragement, and comfort.
Every member of the family never underestimates the contributions and efforts of any family member... She could never have imagined such people and such a family before.
If she were to look at the Xie family from that same perspective again, she would probably feel that it was an environment she could never experience.
But now, she has truly returned to this home.
It makes one sigh at the unpredictability of fate.
Her new life has truly begun.
Xie Mingzhu looked at all her family members with deep emotion.
Now that she's in such a great environment, her determination to improve herself has only strengthened.
She must also become better and more capable, like her parents and younger brother, and contribute to the country.
She was content with even the smallest contribution.
Xie Mingzhu took a deep breath, her smile becoming even more radiant and uplifting.
"Mom and Dad, younger brother, Yingying, don't worry, I will study hard and get into university. Then I will be like you and do my best to contribute to our country!"
Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan exchanged a smile, satisfied and relieved.
Before leaving, Huang Meiling kept thinking in her mind whether there was anything she hadn't prepared for or hadn't finished.
After much thought, I realized that my only regret was not being able to cook more meals for my two daughters myself.
Looking at her watch, Huang Meiling realized there was still some time before departure. Remembering that there were still plenty of ingredients in the kitchen, she simply rolled up her sleeves and went straight into the kitchen.
When Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu returned from outside after buying the things Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan were going to take with them, they were greeted by a fragrant aroma filling the courtyard as soon as they opened the door.
The aroma alone tells you it's food deep-fried at high temperatures, with a unique crispy and fragrant scent, mixed with the aroma of meat.
Just smelling it makes my mouth feel like I'm already tasting the crispy texture of fried food.
Xie Mingzhu quickened her pace, asking questions as she walked inside.
"Who's in the kitchen? It smells so good! What did they make?"
Hearing her daughter's voice, Huang Meiling smiled and opened the kitchen door, waving to Xie Mingzhu and Shu Ying.
"Yingying, Mingzhu, come quick! I fried spring rolls and crispy pork. They're fresh out of the fryer and still very crispy. Come and try them!"
"Spring rolls and crispy pork!"
Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up as they quickly moved closer.
Huang Meiling picked up two small pieces of crispy pork from the plate, one on each side, and fed them to them with her hands.
Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu didn't stand on ceremony and ate the food with their heads held high, taking it from Huang Meiling's hand.
The crispy pork was still warm from being fried, so the two of them instinctively opened their mouths and exhaled a few breaths of hot air. Gradually, they adjusted their mouths and took a small bite.
The aroma of oil mingles with the fragrance of flour, and the crispy pork, with its golden-brown crust, bursts with a satisfying crunch when you take a bite.
With each crunchy chew, the flavor becomes increasingly delicious. The meat inside seems to have been specially marinated, with just the right amount of saltiness. It's surprisingly tender, and combined with the crispy outer shell, the taste is simply addictive.
Xie Mingzhu's eyes were bright. She blinked frantically as she ate, and before she could even swallow, she couldn't help but give a thumbs up in praise.
"This tastes so good! It smells amazing!"
Shu Ying was too busy nodding to speak, nodding frantically as Xie Mingzhu spoke.
"Mmm!"
It's incredibly fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the filling is also perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of flavor.
This skill is more than enough to sell in a restaurant.
After trying a few pieces of crispy pork, the two were still not satisfied and blinked their eyes at the plate of spring rolls.
Huang Meiling smiled and used her chopsticks to pick up spring rolls one by one and put them into their mouths.
Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu ate and praised Huang Meiling, making her beam with joy.
"If you keep praising me like this, I'd like to stay here and cook delicious food for you for the rest of my life. I don't want to leave."
Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu exchanged a glance, smiled, and stepped forward to hug Huang Meiling's arms, one on each side.
"That would be wonderful! You can stay by our side and cook us lots and lots of delicious food, fattening us up so that when we go out with you, people will know how much you love us."
Huang Meiling laughed so hard she almost fell over, and reached out to pinch Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu's noses.
"You two are like twin sisters."
The three of them were laughing and joking when Shu Ying reached into the plate and took a spring roll, about to put it in her mouth.
The moment the smell rushed into her nostrils as she brought the water close to her nose, Shu Ying's expression changed drastically. She quickly let go of the water, clutched her chest, and ran to the edge of the pool, retching violently.
