When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky outside the window.
Su Jingjing hurriedly got up, accidentally aggravating a certain area, causing her to cry out in pain.
She had already changed into clean clothes, looking refreshed, presumably he had helped her wash up.
Even though getting out of bed was difficult, the thought of her three little ones waiting to be fed outside made her grit her teeth and force herself to get up.
As soon as I opened the door, I could hear cheerful laughter coming from the living room.
The three of them were happily eating breakfast.
"Mom, you're awake."
"Mom, time for breakfast."
"Second sister-in-law, come and have breakfast."
Each person said one sentence, and no one was left behind.
Su Jingjing leaned closer to take a look and found that the breakfast was quite good.
Meat buns with porridge is the breakfast standard that many people dream of.
She had been worried that they would go hungry, but to her surprise, they were able to eat.
"Huanhuan, did your second brother buy this?"
Li Yuehuan swallowed the bun and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, Second Brother also bought you longan and egg soup."
He put down the steamed buns and went into the kitchen to bring out the longan and egg dish.
It's a huge bowl, and it's still hot.
Her second brother specifically instructed her to keep a close eye on An'an and Yuanyuan and not to disturb her sister-in-law's sleep.
Unexpectedly, An'an and Yuanyuan seemed to have gotten used to it, and even told her in their childish voices not to bother their mothers.
Li Yuehuan finally realized that her second brother's doting on his wife had no limits, even surpassing that of her eldest brother.
Yuanyuan looked at the large bowl of longan and eggs and licked her lips.
Su Jingjing felt both helpless and sweet.
"Huanhuan, go to the kitchen and get four bowls. Let's eat together."
"Okay."
Li Yuehuan readily agreed to be the errand runner; her favorite food is longan and eggs.
Su Jingjing wiped the children's mouths and casually asked, "Did your second brother just come back?"
Li Yuehuan shook her head, "Second Brother is busy, a young man delivered the ingredients."
With a bun in her mouth, Yuanyuan said, "Mommy, it's Uncle Liu."
Su Jingjing then noticed the bag in the corner. When she opened it, it was indeed the same as what she had said last night.
"Second sister-in-law, when are we going to start having hot pot?"
She suddenly felt a little impatient.
"Wait for your second brother to come back tonight."
Li Hanting seemed unable to leave, and did not come back for lunch.
Because of the cold weather, Su Jingjing kept the children at home and prevented them from going out.
After lunch break, Huanhuan read for a while, and then started to crave food.
Su Jingjing looked at the time on the wall; it was almost five o'clock.
"Huanhuan, go downstairs to the vegetable garden with An'an and Yuanyuan and pick some vegetables."
The vegetables planted in the yard are growing very well, and we can't possibly eat them all.
She was also thinking of making some kimchi another day.
The two children, carrying baskets, walked ahead, huffing and puffing.
Arriving at the vegetable garden, Li Yuehuan looked at the vast expanse of vegetables and was momentarily disoriented.
"Yuanyuan, which one is ours?"
Yuanyuan was also confused and pouted, saying, "I forgot."
An'an pointed to the innermost piece.
"Auntie, that's where we are."
As Li Yuehuan approached, she couldn't help but admire her second sister-in-law's competence.
The three of them lowered their heads and busied themselves, preparing all sorts of dishes, as instructed by their sister-in-law.
Yuanyuan followed behind, babbling as she pulled the radish, putting all her effort into it, and almost fell on her bottom.
"I'll do it."
An'an had her younger sister stand aside and easily pulled it out.
The three of them picked a basket full of vegetables, planning to wash them in the vegetable garden before going back.
The water was ice-cold, so Li Yuehuan didn't let An'an and Yuanyuan touch it; she only needed to hand them some vegetables.
Su Jingjing started cooking rice at home.
She took out the new pot she had bought recently from the cupboard. This pot is perfect for hot pot, and she had considered this when she bought it.
Since the children can't eat spicy food, she didn't make a complicated soup base; a simple chicken soup would suffice, and they could drink more soup later.
How can hot pot be without dipping sauce? Add some minced garlic, fermented bean paste, and finally drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. It tastes delicious.
I also chopped some small chili peppers; you can add some if you like it spicy.
Just as I finished preparing the sauce, the children came back.
"Second sister-in-law, it smells so good."
The three hungry people sat around the table, constantly swallowing their saliva.
"Mommy, I'm hungry, can I eat now?"
Yuan Yuan cradled her round belly, laughing mischievously.
Su Jingjing cut the radish, "We can eat it when Dad comes back."
Not only were the children craving food, but she was craving it too.
After simply washing off the dirt downstairs, Su Jingjing took the vegetables to the kitchen and washed them carefully again.
Li Hanting knew they were having hot pot tonight, so he made sure to leave work early.
The group headed towards the family compound. After a day of training, they were starving and just wanted to go home and eat a meal cooked by their wives.
Although we don't have any fancy dishes at home, at least we have white rice.
As soon as you arrive at the residential compound, a rich aroma of chicken soup fills the air.
Liang Haishan took a deep breath, his steps slowing down.
"It smells so good."
He knew it definitely wasn't cooked by his family; Wu Xiuying wouldn't bear to eat it like that.
Although Wang Ming is old, he can't resist his cravings.
He wanted to eat chicken too, but it was just a thought.
Miao Miao's future schooling will be quite expensive, so her family needs to be careful with their spending.
Liang Haishan asked gossipily, "Yang Wei, could it be that your Ge Hong is making chicken soup?"
Shouldn't pregnant women eat better?
Yang Wei was also unsure, because Ge Hong kept talking about eating chicken, but a chicken wasn't cheap, and his allowance wasn't enough.
What are you doing here?
Wu Xiuying came out of the vegetable garden behind the house and saw three men whispering to each other.
"I'm wondering whose family makes chicken soup."
Liang Haishan stood with his hands behind his back, making no attempt to hide his ulterior motives.
"Stop guessing, it's Su Jingjing."
Wu Xiuying waved her hand, "I heard they're having some kind of hot pot."
Just now, An'an, Yuanyuan, and Li's younger sister were washing a basket of vegetables, and she asked a question out of curiosity.
The three of them sighed silently; only Commander Li's family dared to eat like that.
Liang Haishan asked in confusion, "What is hot pot?"
What kind of divine delicacy is that?
"How would I know?" Wu Xiuying rolled her eyes. "It's freezing downstairs, let's go back inside."
Upon reaching the third floor, the aroma seemed even stronger.
After giving Liu Yang some instructions, Li Hanting rushed home.
Of course, he also smelled the fragrance, and his expression relaxed.
Her daughter-in-law's cooking is always delicious.
The day's fatigue vanished instantly.
"Dad, you're back."
Yuanyuan ran over happily and hugged his leg.
He turned around and ran to the kitchen, peeking out and asking questions, looking rather silly.
"Mom, Dad's home. Can we eat now?"
With her eyes sparkling, Su Jingjing was also touched and smiled gently, "Then go and help your aunt clear the table."
"Yay, yay, Auntie, come quick!"
Su Jingjing and the man exchanged a smile, and the room was filled with peace.
