In the past, Rong Yan was always the one who started the fire; Chen Yunyun had no idea that Rong Yan also had the skill of cooking.
Three dishes and a soup were served, and a strong aroma of food wafted over, causing Chen Yunyun's stomach to rumble first.
The meeting has been going on for so long, and I haven't even had a sip of water. I'm starving!
She didn't care about her image at all, and started showing off as soon as she served the food.
The dishes were all ones she had made before; perhaps because Rong Yan had seen her make them so often, he had learned them as well.
After wolfing down her food like a starving tiger, Chen Yunyun slumped onto a cool chair in the yard, clutching her stomach.
The children have school tomorrow, so they've already gone to bed.
Now it's just Chen Yunyun and Rong Yan, and all is quiet.
She had eaten too much and couldn't help but burp.
"Uh, sorry..."
Rong Yan sat cross-legged on a straw cushion, and upon hearing this, he merely curled the corners of his mouth.
Two oil-filled lamps hung under the eaves, illuminating this small corner of the world.
Chen Yunyun's gaze fell on the person who was sitting quietly in meditation, and she felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
My thoughts wandered incoherently. If things could continue like this, peaceful and uneventful, it would actually be quite nice.
"I'm not going to work tomorrow."
Rong Yan suddenly spoke up, and Chen Yunyun opened her still-drowsy eyes, "Huh? What's wrong?"
"I won't go anymore."
Chen Yunyun: ? I was so scared I was wide awake.
"What do you mean?" Chen Yunyun clearly heard herself trying to keep her voice steady.
"I have to go out for a while."
Going out for a while? It must be somewhere far away.
"That mother-and-child lock..."
"It's alright, I have a way."
Rong Yan's reply was brief, so Chen Yunyun gave up the idea of asking any further questions.
The wind was strong at night, so she didn't stay in the yard for long and went back inside to sleep.
I'm very tired during the day, but when I lie in bed, I toss and turn and can't fall asleep.
After Rong Yan came out of that jade, he spent almost all his time with them, eating and living together.
After being bound to a letter lock by the system, he would go out every day. For the first month, he would vomit blood every time he came back.
Now, he spends longer and longer periods of time outside each morning, and when he comes back, he doesn't show any particular reaction.
The impact of the letter lock on him is probably diminishing over time...
The next day, when Chen Yunyun woke up, Rong Yan had already left.
She didn't say anything, but went to the kitchen to cook for the children, preparing their lunches to take to school.
As the weather gets warmer, she makes more refreshing salads.
Wild yams dug from the mountains, cooked, and then cut into small pieces, are crunchy and sweet.
Fresh wood ear mushrooms growing at the base of rotten tree roots can be thoroughly cooked by cleaning them and rinsing them several times with boiling water.
The radishes I grew myself were cut into thin white shreds.
The main dish was cold noodles, but these days few people in the countryside could afford noodles made from wheat flour, so Chen Yunyun added vegetable juice to make the noodles look less appealing.
Mix the vegetables together, add some of her homemade mushroom oil, and the essential crispy chili oil. The mouthwatering aroma wafts out of the small metal lunchbox.
I filled the bamboo tubes of the two children with honeysuckle tea, making them a full tube, which was refreshing and cooling.
After making the boxed lunches, Chen Yunyun's steamed buns were also ready.
The steamed buns made of white flour have a soft and fluffy exterior, and when you break them open, you'll find them filled with fragrant and hot filling.
One bite, and your mouth is filled with the fresh and savory meat juices, whetting your appetite.
"Eat your steamed buns and then go to school. In a couple of days when you have a holiday, I'll take you to the commune for a visit."
After having breakfast, Chen Yunyun went to the brigade headquarters.
Yesterday's meeting wasn't actually over yet; we have to continue it today.
The news of setting up a factory spread overnight.
Chen Yunyun's selection as factory director naturally became known to everyone.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw several uncles and aunts staring intently at her.
