Five days passed, and Su Jingjing lifted the gauze with anticipation. Although she had a feeling of unease, she was still overjoyed to see the styrofoam box filled with dense, fresh and juicy soybean sprouts.
Yuanyuan was squatting on the floor when she saw the box full of lush bean sprouts. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Mom, is this a flower?" Her eyes revealed indescribable joy and excitement.
Su Jingjing chuckled. She had to admit that the tender yellow bean sprouts did indeed resemble fresh flowers.
"Sweetie, these are soybean sprouts. Mom will stir-fry them with meat later, and then you'll see how delicious they are."
After saying that, he took a knife, cut two bundles, washed them clean, and started cooking them.
A few minutes later, the aroma of bean sprouts combined with the smell of meat made An'an and Yuanyuan's mouths water.
"Mom, it smells so good! Can I have a bite?"
As soon as it was served, the children gathered around, and Su Jingjing picked up her chopsticks and put some on their plates.
"It's a little hot, eat slowly."
The two children ate slowly and carefully, savoring the delicious food.
Su Jingjing couldn't wait to take a bite, and was secretly delighted; this was exactly the taste.
"So, how is it? Do you like it?"
"It's so delicious, Mom, I want more!" Yuanyuan exclaimed, wanting another bite.
Su Jingjing naturally obliged, tilting her head to ask An'an, "Baby, do you want more?"
An'an stretched her neck and whispered, "Yes."
He smiled contentedly after taking his second bite of the bean sprouts. "Mom, let's leave the rest of the bean sprouts for Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa and Grandma on my mother's side to try."
"It's not difficult to sprout soybeans. Mom will teach them the method later."
She asked with a smile, "Would you like to eat more?"
The two children shook their heads in unison, "We'll eat together when Dad comes back."
Su Jingjing wiped their mouths and said, "Mom will give some bean sprouts to Aunt Zhaodi and the others. You can watch TV for a while."
Okay~
An'an and Yuanyuan responded obediently.
Su Jingjing knocked on the door across the hall, and He Zhaodi's voice came from inside, "Coming."
Upon seeing that it was Su Jingjing, her smile deepened. "Jingjing, come in and sit down."
Su Jingjing waved her hand, "Zhaodi, no need, the children are still waiting for me to eat at home. I came here today to bring you some bean sprouts."
Soybean sprouts?
Just as He Zhaodi was wondering what was going on, two bundles of soybean sprouts appeared in front of her.
"This...this is soybean sprouts?"
It looked so new that she took it in a daze.
"Take it and stir-fry it this afternoon, then try it and see how it tastes."
He Zhaodi said enviously, "Jingjing, thank you. You're amazing. You can do everything."
"Um... I learned that from a book too." She made up an excuse. "I still need to give some to Sister Qiu Rong, so I won't bother you any longer."
He Zhaodi closed the door and carried the soybean sprouts into the house.
"Mom, what is this?"
Yan Xiaoyun asked, puzzled.
She ruffled her daughter's hair. "These are soybean sprouts. Your Aunt Jingjing brought them over. Go play first, and Mom will stir-fry them for you now."
"Okay~" Yan Xiaoyun skipped away.
Jingjing said she learned it from books, and that no matter what, she would make sure Xiaoyun studied and went to university.
Li Hanting opened the door and saw Yuanyuan swinging her legs while watching TV.
When the little guy saw him, he immediately slid off the sofa with a big smile and ran over to hug him with his short legs.
"Dad, you're back! Mom made something delicious today."
Li Hanting picked her up and asked gently, "What's delicious?"
“Yes…” Yuan Yuan opened her mouth, then her mind went blank for a moment. She scratched her head, feeling embarrassed. “Dad, I forgot the name. Anyway, it’s really delicious. Ask your brother.”
Li Hanting looked at An An.
"Mom stir-fried soybean sprouts today."
He noticed the room was unusually quiet. "Isn't Mom home?"
An'an relayed her mother's exact words to her father.
Li Hanting understood and put Yuanyuan down. "Watch TV with your brother for a while. Dad will go change my clothes."
He went into the bedroom and took off his military jacket, leaving him only in a short-sleeved shirt and trousers.
Just then, he heard his daughter talking to his wife, so he opened the door and came out.
When Su Jingjing saw the man, she ran over happily, "Honey, I stir-fried some bean sprouts. The kids all said they were delicious. Come and try some!"
Li Hanting held her hand and stood by the dining table waiting to be fed.
"Is it tasty?"
Su Jingjing asked nervously.
"not bad."
She pressed on, "Then how about sending some over to Mom and Dad?"
"Alright, let them try the new flavor."
"Mom and Dad, I'm hungry."
Yuanyuan clutched her stomach and cried out.
Su Jingjing saw through her trick without hesitation, "I think you just tasted the soybean sprouts."
Hehe~~
"Let's eat."
Su Jingjing asked the man to take the children to wash their hands, while she went into the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
Today's lunch consisted of stir-fried bean sprouts with pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a loofah soup.
All four of them have shown off.
Su Jingjing took the children for a walk in the living room to digest their food, while the man washed the dishes in the kitchen.
"Mom, I want to go downstairs and play for a while."
An'an and Yuanyuan asked.
Su Jingjing agreed, "I'll come back for a nap in half an hour."
After the children left, she went into the bedroom to translate the manuscript.
Li Hanting sat quietly beside her, looking at her delicate handwriting, and felt very proud.
"Phew... finally done."
Su Jingjing stretched and tidied up the manuscript.
