Along the way, the sun shone on her and the breeze brushed her cheeks. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and her heart was full of curiosity about the items in the package.
After returning home, Lin Zhiyue couldn't wait to walk into her room and closed the door.
She came to the entrance of the space, and with a thought, she entered the space.
In the space, she took out the six large packages one by one and placed them neatly on the ground.
Then she picked up a pair of scissors and carefully began to unwrap the package.
The first package was opened, and it was sent by her uncle. It contained some exquisite books and several new styles of clothes. I guess her uncle must have carefully selected them, hoping that she would like them.
Then, she opened her second uncle's package, which contained some nourishing supplements and a thick letter, which must be her second uncle's concern and instructions to her.
In my mother’s package, there is a hand-knitted scarf with fine stitches, full of motherly love.
The package sent by her aunt contained a variety of delicious snacks, which instantly made Lin Zhiyue's taste buds cheer.
The packages of Uncle Mu Da and Uncle Mu Er were equally rich, with some small commemorative items and words expressing their longing for her.
Lin Zhiyue looked at these gifts sent from afar, her eyes gradually became moist, and her heart was filled with warmth and emotion.
Lin Zhiyue stood quietly in the middle of the room which was filled with packages and had almost no place to stand.
Her eyes quickly swept across the packages of various sizes and shapes like a dragonfly skimming the water, but soon her attention was attracted by the six letters placed aside.
She bent down slightly, and with gentle movements as if she was afraid of disturbing anything, she carefully picked up the six letters written to her grandparents from the pile of packages.
The moment her fingertips touched the envelope, an indescribable feeling of warmth instantly spread throughout her body.
She couldn't help but gently stroke the envelope with her fingers, as if she could truly feel through the thin paper the earnestness and care that her relatives far away had put into writing these letters.
Lin Zhiyue took a deep breath, then carefully placed the precious letters into the inner layer of her schoolbag and zipped it up carefully.
After doing all this, she was still worried and checked again to see if the zipper was tight. She looked as if she was guarding a rare treasure that was unparalleled in the world.
Then she slowly raised her head and looked out the window.
At this time, the sun in the sky had begun to set and the sky was gradually becoming darker.
The afterglow of the setting sun is like a golden veil, shining through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the lush but slightly mottled tree outside the window, and falling on the ground, forming dazzling and charming golden spots.
Looking at the beautiful and peaceful scene before her, Lin Zhiyue knew in her heart that the most heartwarming moment of the day - cooking time - was approaching.
So she turned and walked towards the kitchen, preparing to cook a delicious dinner for herself and her family.
She turned around swiftly, walked into the kitchen, tied on an apron, and began to wash rice and vegetables with skillful movements.
The water flowed through her fingertips, and the cool touch made her more awake.
The flames on the stove jumped, illuminating her focused face.
With a thought, he took out fresh beef and plump tomatoes from the mysterious space. The beef was ruddy in color, with clear texture and a faint meaty aroma; the tomatoes were bright red, and with a gentle pinch, one could feel the juice inside.
Lin Zhiyue skillfully cut the beef into even-sized cubes and put them into hot water to blanch the blood. As the hot water rolled, foam gradually appeared. She quickly scooped out the beef with a colander and drained the water.
Then, she heated the pan, poured in a little oil, and when the oil started to smoke slightly, put the onion, ginger, and garlic into the pan and stir-fried them. In an instant, the rich aroma filled the air.
Next, put the beef into the pan and stir-fry continuously until the surface turns slightly yellow. Then add the tomato cubes and continue stir-frying.
The tomatoes gradually became soft in the pot, the soup became thick, and the sweet and sour aroma blended with the aroma of the beef. Lin Zhiyue added appropriate seasonings at the right time and simmered over low heat.
As time went by, the aroma of the tomato stewed beef became richer and filled the entire kitchen.
While the stewed beef with tomatoes was simmering on a low fire, Lin Zhiyue immediately started preparing the next dish - stewed pork ribs with potatoes.
She took out the ribs from the space. The ribs were firm and had an attractive color. After washing the ribs, she blanched them in water to remove the fishy smell and took them out for later use.
Then she peeled the potatoes, cut them into dice and set them aside.
Pour oil into the pan, add rock sugar, and stir-fry over low heat until the sugar color comes out. When the rock sugar melts and turns into an attractive caramel color, quickly pour the ribs into the pan and stir-fry so that each piece of ribs is evenly coated with sugar color.
Then add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other seasonings, continue to stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in appropriate amount of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for seasoning and color.
Add water to cover the ribs, cover the pot and simmer over low heat.
After about twenty minutes, the ribs become soft and rotten. Lin Zhiyue puts the potato cubes into the pot and stews them with the ribs until the potatoes become soft and the soup is thick. The potato and ribs stew is ready.
Lin Zhiyue didn't stop at all and turned his gaze to the emerald green cabbage.
She skillfully washed the cabbage, boiled water in a pot, added a little salt and a few drops of oil, put the cabbage into the pot and blanch it quickly, then took it out after a few seconds and drained the water.
Next, pour oil into the pot again, add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour the bok choy into the pot and stir-fry quickly. Add an appropriate amount of salt to season. A simple and refreshing stir-fried bok choy is ready. The bok choy is emerald green in color and exudes a faint fragrance.
After the meal was ready, Lin Zhiyue carefully placed it in an insulated box, checked the letter in the schoolbag carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he locked the door and walked towards the cowshed.
Along the way, the breeze blew her hair, and her steps were light and firm.
Soon, she arrived at the cowshed.
When the old people saw her coming, they all showed kind smiles on their faces.
Lin Zhiyue also responded with a sweet smile, handed them the thermal box, and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I brought you dinner, eat it while it's hot."
Then, she took out the six letters from her schoolbag, handed them to Grandpa Lin, and said, "Grandpa, these are letters from my eldest uncle and second uncle. Please take a look with grandma."
Grandpa Lin took the letter, his eyes full of relief, patted Lin Zhiyue's hand and said, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Zhiyue chatted with the old people for a while. Seeing them eating with relish and happy smiles on their faces, her heart also felt warm.
After the elderly people finished their meal, Lin Zhiyue helped to clean up the dishes before saying goodbye to them and setting off on the journey home.
After returning home, Lin Zhiyue closed the door and stood in front of the pile of packages again.
At this moment, she could finally calm down, open the packages carefully, and see what her relatives far away had sent her.
