I'll take care of this. Aunt Chen, why don't I take you there now? My parents are harvesting cabbages at home right now. When we bring the cabbages back, my mom can help you pickle them.
I'm not bragging, Aunt Chen, you can go ask around in the village. My family's cabbages are the best-kept. My older brothers and sisters often go to the fields to catch bugs. The sauerkraut made from my cabbages tastes just right.
We didn't plant any radishes at home this year. I'll take you to Sihu's house later. He planted a lot of radishes this year, and they're delicious—crisp and sweet, even raw.
If you have any more pickled mustard greens and carrots, go to Dazhu's house to exchange them. I can also ask my mom to teach me how to pickle mustard greens. My mom is really good at it; the pickled mustard greens she makes have a great color and taste. They're delicious stewed with tofu in winter.

Once it gets cold, the village will organize a tofu-making process. Aunt Chen can make a lot then. You can put a jar in the woodshed and freeze it there in winter. Frozen tofu is delicious stewed with cabbage or sauerkraut.”
Listening to the little guy tell him these things so clearly, Chen Shuning sighed inwardly, thinking that it really was true that the old saying, "Children from poor families learn to be independent early."
You have to understand that in her time, children that age were still being pampered in their parents' arms, begging for toys, and most probably couldn't even tell the difference between sugar and salt.
But most children in this era are already able to help with household chores.
