The next day, when Liu Yun got up, her mother was still asleep. Liu Yun didn't wake her, since she had finally gotten a good night's sleep and wanted her to sleep a little longer. She simply took Dangdang and An'an out for breakfast.
Dangdang: "Mom, don't forget to wait for us."
Liu Yun: "Okay, okay, go to school now!"
Fearing that the two of them would start nagging her again, she quickly sent them away.
After the two left, she took the porridge and eggs she had bought for Yu's mother and went home.
She didn't disturb her mother who was still asleep; she simply tidied up the house and went out to buy groceries for lunch.
When Liu Yun returned home, she saw her mother hanging out laundry, which Liu Yun had put in the washing machine to spin dry before she left.
"Mom? Why don't you sleep a little longer and get some rest? I can put this over there and take care of it."
Mother Yu: "You slept long enough, not waking up until nine o'clock. Your bones are all limp from sleeping so much, so it's good to stretch your muscles. By the way, are those chickens and ducks behind the kitchen going to be slaughtered?"
Liu Yun: "I need to kill a duck, but I don't know how."
Mother Yu: "I'll kill it! You go boil the water."
Hearing what her mother said, Liu Yun didn't try to be defiant and said, "Okay."
With the duck, you can make Sichuan lovage duck soup. This duck is several years old, so you have to make it early. First, pressure cook it in a pressure cooker and then put it in a clay pot to simmer. Otherwise, it won't be tender and you won't be able to chew it at all.
Chuanxiong duck soup has the effects of invigorating qi and blood, warming the meridians and promoting blood circulation. It can improve rheumatic pain and can also be used to relieve symptoms such as amenorrhea due to blood deficiency and cold-dampness pain.
I'll drink more then. I'm lucky to have had no illnesses in my life, so I need to take better care of myself. It's too scary to be like Mr. Yu. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to endure it.
After cooking, I waited at home for An'an and Dangdang to come home, and also packed two sets of clothes and toiletries for Yu Qian.
Since he had already taken leave, he naturally couldn't let his mother stay up with him. After all, his mother was getting on in years; although she looked healthy, she was over seventy.
As soon as they entered the house, Dangdang and An'an ran towards their mother on the sofa.
Dangdang/An'an: "Grandma, we miss you so much!"
Mother: "Grandma's sweeties, Grandma misses you all too. Have you been listening to Mommy?"
Dangdang: "Grandma, we are very obedient. We always obey Mom's instructions absolutely."
Liu Yun rolled her eyes at these words. To say she would absolutely obey was an understatement; she was more like saying one thing to your face and another behind your back.
An'an: "Grandma, is Grandpa feeling any better? Let's go see Grandpa together later!"
Dangdang: "Yeah, we've wanted to go for a long time, but Mom won't let us."
Liu Yun: "How come I never knew you were so good with words! You're slandering me like this, don't you have any conscience? You say this about me here, who knows what you're saying about me behind my back!"
Dangdang: "What is conscience? Do I even have one?"
Liu Yun: "Although my relationship with your grandma can withstand storms, it can't withstand your ability to spread rumors! Everyone else is a burden to their fathers, but why are you such a burden to your mother? They say daughters are like warm cotton-padded jackets, but how come I'm so unlucky that both of them are leaky?"
Dangdang: "How could it be drafty? I'm wearing a padded coat, it's super windproof."
Liu Yun: "Tch~ Like an old woman selling melons, just praising her own wares."
Seeing the mother and daughter bickering, Yu's mother didn't say anything, but simply set out the bowls and chopsticks.
An'an: "Grandma, sit down, I'll go get the rice."
Watching An'an put away her schoolbag, quickly wash her hands, and go to get her rice, Yu's mother smiled with satisfaction. "Okay."
She has four sons and more than ten grandchildren, but she likes the atmosphere at her youngest son's house the most.
It's warm, lively, comfortable, and relaxing, just like when she and her husband are at home alone, but this place is much warmer and more lively.
As soon as the meal started, Liu Yun served everyone a bowl of soup.
"Drink more of this dehumidifier. With Dad's example, we need to pay more attention and take better care of ourselves."
Mother Yu's lips twitched as she listened. "Is this why you insisted on cooking such a big duck, and even used two clay pots?"
Liu Yun: "Hmm, didn't Dr. Zhang say this would remove dampness?"
Yu's mother said, "I thought you wanted to save a pot for dinner! Have you forgotten that Dr. Zhang said that dietary supplements only have a certain effect, but not a very large one?"
Liu Yun didn't take it seriously. "If it has some effect, then it has some effect. Although it's small, it adds up. Just eat more of it."
Mother: ...
So that's why you brought us soup every now and then in our past life?
Because their relationship was far less harmonious in their past life than it is in this life, they didn't have as much contact as they do in this life.
But ever since their father’s rheumatism and bone pain were relieved, every winter and summer vacation, whenever they returned to Xinshi, the triplets and twins would send them all kinds of soups almost every day. The quantity was huge, and they could have a different soup every day for a week. They could drink it at almost every meal and still not finish it.
She thought Liu Yun wanted to give her and the old man a good boost, but she never expected it to be for this reason.
After finishing their meal, Yu's mother was about to clear the table when Liu Yun immediately stopped her.
"Mom, just leave it there and don't worry about it." Then she looked at Dangdang and An'an, "Who is it today?"
Dangdang: "I, I, I'll be right away, Grandma, just leave it there, I'll have a drink of water and I'll be right back."
Mother Yu: "Slow down, don't rush, I'll pack the same things."
An'an: "Grandma, don't worry about it. My sister and I wash the dishes every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We each do it one day. Today it's my sister's turn."
Upon hearing this, Mother Yu refrained from intervening. She felt there was no need for her to help them in this situation, as it would only lead to arguments about fairness between them.
