"Yay!" The boys cheered excitedly at the kitchen doorway.
Old Man Jiang, Old Woman Jiang, and the other adults secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's almost time to eat!
If they don't start eating soon, they'll really start drooling in front of the children.
A moment later, the last dish of green vegetables was ready. Jiang Wanwan, carrying a bowl of green vegetables, announced, "Dinner's ready!"
"I'll help serve the dishes!"
"Me too."
"I'll help serve the food!"
The boys rushed into the kitchen, vying to help serve the dishes and rice.
Seeing the boys' restless and unruly behavior, the adults couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Hey, you boys, don't be so clumsy! Be careful not to spill the food!" Grandma Jiang was so anxious that she couldn't help but scold the boys.
"Grandma, don't worry, even if I fall, I won't fall on the flesh in my hands!" Jiang He grinned and laughed.
"Yes, yes, Grandma, don't worry. Your grandchildren will take care of these rough jobs."
Grandma Jiang glared at her, "Hmph, I've never seen you all so eager to do chores before. You're always scrambling to do them."
As she spoke, Grandma Jiang noticed that Jiang Xun almost tripped over the threshold and nearly dropped the vegetables in his hands. Her heart nearly jumped out of her throat, and she said anxiously, "Oh dear, Xun boy, be careful."
"Grandma, don't worry, you won't fall," Jiang Xun said with a smile.
And so, the group went into the main room in a lively atmosphere.
Hu, Zhu, and Lu were responsible for serving the food and getting the bowls and chopsticks. For the first time ever, Jiang Liu picked up a rag and wiped the table clean.
At this moment, there were two large bowls of green peppers and pork belly, two plates of stir-fried green peppers and kidneys, and a large bowl of glistening green vegetables on the table.
Grandma Jiang was still the one distributing rice to everyone. This time, she didn't favor anyone and distributed rice to everyone impartially.
Looking at the dishes on the table and then at the white rice laid out in front of them, the Jiang family members all had tears in their eyes.
"It must have been many years since our family has had such a sumptuous meal. Not only is there rice, but there are also two meat dishes, and even the vegetables are stir-fried with plenty of lard," Old Man Jiang said excitedly, looking at the food on the table.
“Dad, you’re wrong. Even when our family was still well-off, we didn’t have rice to eat. Even when we ate meat, we only bought a pound as a treat, not such a large quantity,” Uncle Jiang said excitedly.
"That's right. Even when our family was better off in the past, we never dared to cook rice. When we were craving it, we only dared to cook a pound of rice into a thin rice soup, and that was a big deal." Grandma Jiang looked at the white rice in front of her and sighed.
Although everyone wanted to eat quickly, no one in the Jiang family dared to touch their chopsticks unless Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang gave the order.
"Grandpa, Grandma, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold," Jiang Wanwan urged.
Old Jiang's family is easily satisfied; a meal of rice can move them to tears.
If she makes them eat rice every meal from now on, what will happen?
"Oh, right, right, let's eat, it'll get cold soon," said Grandma Jiang.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone immediately picked up their bowls and ate a big mouthful of rice.
"Wow~ It smells so good and it's so soft! So this is what rice tastes like!" Jiang Hu squinted her eyes, looking like she was about to cry.
"It's so delicious! I could eat three big bowls of rice without any side dishes!" Jiang Jiang said.
"My goodness, this rice doesn't hurt my throat at all. No wonder rich people eat this," Jiang He exclaimed.
"If I could eat rice every meal from now on, I'd do anything for you!" Jiang Xun roared and took another bite of rice.
Jiang Wanwan glanced at him. No wonder Su Wan'er could control him; it turns out Jiang Xun is a glutton!
If you give him some food, he'll happily hand you a hoe even if someone digs a hole to bury him!
