However, lunch still needed to be prepared on time. Everyone else was extremely busy trying to meet the deadline, and Mo Youshan even specifically instructed Yu Xiu'e to help Mo Yuan cook, telling her that she didn't need to go home for lunch and could come directly here. Lin Xue and Mo Hongying would also come over to eat together after work, which would save a lot of trouble.
Daya and Erdan volunteered to help. After finishing their candy, they asked to stay and help Mo Yuan with his tasks. Seeing their enthusiasm, Mo Yuan assigned them some simple vegetable-washing work so they could participate. Looking at Daya, who was already quite tall, Mo Yuan thought he should discuss with his older sister about sending Daya to school in September.
After all, Mo Yuan was no longer willing to let his eldest sister go back to suffer. He secretly pondered to find a suitable opportunity to talk to his eldest sister and persuade her to completely sever ties with Li Laosan and stay in Xiao Mo Village to live a peaceful life.
Perhaps here, the eldest sister will have the chance to meet a considerate and caring person and rebuild a warm family. For so many years, the eldest sister has endured hardship, and Mo Yuan is determined never to let her return to that home filled with painful memories.
Li Laosan is an alcoholic, gambler, and even beats women; he's a complete scumbag.
Recently, my older sister seems to have gradually adapted to her new environment and her mood has become happier. This is the right time to tell her these things, to let her understand that she has better options and doesn't have to go back to that miserable life she used to live.
Furthermore, Daya is already eight or nine years old and hasn't started school yet, which is far too late. Mo Yuan believes that Daya must receive an education, at least until junior high school, to learn some characters. This way, she will be more capable when helping with chores around the house in the future. And who knows, maybe she really can get into university and change her destiny. Of course, these are all things for the future, but Mo Yuan has made up his mind that if Daya wants to continue her studies, he will fully support her and will not be short of tuition fees.
However, the most important thing right now is to prepare meals for so many people; that's the most urgent task. Mo Yuan thought about these things while busily preparing lunch for everyone.
Today was Mo Yuan's first day in charge of cooking. Time was very tight, and as is often the case, starting anything new was difficult, so he was a bit flustered at first. However, he didn't back down; instead, he hummed a little tune and busied himself with great enthusiasm.
First, a day earlier, Mo Yuan had pulled a flatbed cart to the brigade headquarters to borrow two large pots. These pots were originally used for communal meals, but had been left idle, only being used for weddings and funerals in the village. The last time these pots were used was when he and Lin Xue got married, and they had played a vital role then.
Currently, there are twenty or thirty people on the construction site who need to eat, plus his own family, making it a large group. Ordinary small pots and stoves certainly cannot meet their needs. Therefore, Mo Yuan prepared two large pots in advance and set up two large stoves. When he placed the pots on the stoves, he began to busily steam rice and stir-fry vegetables, working with great enthusiasm.
As time went by, the aroma of the food gradually filled the air, spreading throughout the entire construction site. Everyone could smell the enticing aroma and their expressions revealed anticipation.
Despite the hard work, everyone felt very gratified at this moment. After all, a delicious meal can make people forget their fatigue and regain their energy.
