After giving everything to her mother, He Yuhan didn't linger and rode her bicycle home. Just as she arrived home, a light drizzle began to fall; the air was damp and chilly, the cold seeping into her bones.
The heating was turned on today, and the temperature in the house has already risen. As soon as He Yuhan entered the house, she felt a wave of heat hitting her face.
When Wen Jinyu saw her daughter-in-law returning carrying two baskets and a backpack, she quickly took the baskets from her daughter-in-law's hands.
She looked at the slightly damp ground outside and said, "Luckily, Yi turned on the heating today, otherwise this house would be so cold."
He Yuhan said, "I asked Brother Yi to turn on the heating because the weather was bad and it was getting colder. It will be more convenient to boil water or make soup on the stove in the future."
Mom, I bought some mutton and mutton bones. We'll make soup on the stove later, and then we'll cook noodles in the mutton soup for lunch.
The mutton continued cooking in the afternoon, and we'll have mutton soup for dinner. I asked Brother Yi to invite Brother Gu and Qihua and his wife over so everyone can have some mutton soup to warm themselves up. Mutton soup is very nourishing.
I think it might snow tonight. Luckily, we've already harvested the cabbages and other vegetables in our backyard, otherwise they might freeze. We'll have to bring the cabbages that weren't put in the cellar inside later.
Liu Zhongyi, holding Xiao Xurui, looked at the weather outside and the layer of white on the ground, and said, "The light rain has now turned into light snow, and I estimate that the snow will get heavier and heavier. This year the snow came early, so I estimate that this winter will be colder than in previous years."
Wen Jinyu said, "Yuhan, we harvested so many cabbages this year, let's make more sauerkraut and kimchi this year, I think your dad and Yixian both like to eat them."
He Yuhan said, "The cabbages that weren't put in the cellar in the backyard are for making sauerkraut and kimchi. I've cleaned and tidied up the small vats in the side room."
Liu Zhongyi said, "Jinyu, you hold the child, I'll go and bring the cabbages from the backyard in."
He Yuhan quickly said, "Uncle, I'll help you move it."
The two of them carried the large cabbage that had been lying under the eaves of the backyard into the house. Then, He Yuhan put the mutton and mutton bones on the stove to stew, adding some nourishing medicinal herbs. Stewing it slowly, the mutton soup was a simple, delicious, and warming dish to have with noodles at noon.
Lamb is considered a warming food, and she plans to make soup for her family frequently during the winter.
The room was warm and cozy. Xiao Xurui was very active, and Wen Jinyu was able to help him stand up on the sofa.
Wen Jinyu looked at her lively and adorable grandson and smiled, "Xurui is stronger than most children, and he can already stand up with support."
Liu Zhongyi said, "Our child is well-fed. Yuhan has arranged a very particular diet for the child. Even wealthy families in the past didn't have such a meticulous diet."
He Yuhan was making a small hat for her child and said, "There are many things to consider when raising children. I've summarized these things myself after reading a lot of medical books. Children grow quickly when they are young and need a lot of nutrition, which needs to be balanced. However, there are many things that are not suitable for children to eat, so you have to choose foods that can supplement children's nutrition and are easy to absorb."
If possible, our children should drink milk for several more years, as it helps with calcium absorption and the absorption of other nutrients.
Huayang and Haobo have been drinking milk and eating well, so they are much stronger and taller than other children their age in the compound.
Many people ask my mother how she raised her children, but she doesn't dare to say much, only that the children take after their parents and are all tall.
Wen Jinyu, who was also studying medicine, understood what He Yuhan was saying. "Yes, many families are struggling to get enough to eat these days, let alone a balanced diet. Often, they simply don't get enough nutrition. There's nothing we can do about it."
The three adults were chatting about parenting in the living room, playing with the child in a very heartwarming scene.
Han Xiao and Han Yixian had both said in advance that they wouldn't be back for lunch, so He Yuhan made a simple mutton soup with noodles, along with kimchi and pickled vegetables, which was very delicious.
Liu Zhongyi ate until his forehead was sweating and his whole body felt warm. After finishing a large bowl of noodles, he wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction, "A bowl of hot soup noodles is just right for this cold and damp weather. We really need to make more kimchi, otherwise it won't be enough to eat."
He Yuhan was pleased to see that her uncle had such a good appetite and said, "Don't worry, I can make more whenever you run out."
The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, and soon the ground was covered in white.
When Yuan Qihua saw that it was snowing outside, he came home early to turn on the heating, otherwise he was afraid that his wife would get cold at night.
After lighting the stove, Yuan Qihua came over to his uncle's place. He knew there would be mutton soup for dinner that night, made by his sister-in-law, so he was very eager to go.
For dinner, He Yuhan made Mu Shu Pork and stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, and of course, pickled vegetables. The main dish was flatbread. Adding mutton soup made for a very good meal.
Han Yi returned home first with Gu Qishen that evening, followed by Cui Yuting, and Han Xiao was the last to return.
We sat together for dinner, enjoying the rich and fragrant mutton soup and delicious food – it was an indescribable pleasure.
Han Xiao and Liu Zhongyi even had a few drinks together.
Yuan Qihua took a bite of the pancake and a sip of the mutton soup, squinted his eyes, and said, "If only we could eat like this every day."
Han Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Who knows how many people are still starving right now? You think you can eat like this every day? Dream on."
When Cui Yuting saw her husband being criticized by his uncle, she lowered her head and smiled with her lips pursed.
Yuan Qihua turned his head and saw that his wife was laughing. She was definitely laughing at him for daring to laugh at her own man.
Yuan Qihua leaned close to Cui Yuting's ear and whispered, "How dare you laugh at me? Hehe, just you wait tonight."
Cui Yuting immediately understood her husband's words, her face flushed red, and she glared at Yuan Qihua, not daring to say anything. Who knew what else this guy might say? With so many people present, it would be so embarrassing if they heard. She even stepped on Yuan Qihua's foot under the table to tell him to behave.
Gu Qishen has been eating at the Han family's house frequently lately, and he's been taking care of his health with everyone. He's gained some weight and isn't as thin as before.
He was happy to eat He Yuhan's cooking, so he came whenever Han Yixian called him, since he was already very familiar with the Han family.
On a day like this, a bowl of mutton soup would warm you right up. He also knew He Yuhan's abilities; only He Yuhan could consistently get all sorts of meat, and they had all benefited from it quite a bit.
A large pot of mutton soup, vegetables, and flatbread was completely devoured, and everyone ate until they were stuffed.
Because they had drunk mutton soup, Yuan Qihua took his wife home early. They were newlyweds, so of course they were full of passion.
Yuan Qihua was also tasked by his mother with the task of helping them have a grandson soon. So he had to work hard to fulfill his parents' expectations as soon as possible.
Han Yixian had also overindulged in the mutton soup, and he tormented He Yuhan quite a bit that night. He Yuhan, feeling utterly weak, gritted her teeth inwardly; it was all the mutton soup's fault. She needed to consider whether she should continue letting this guy drink mutton soup in the future.
