The buns are filled with pickled vegetables. The pickled vegetables are chopped, lightly stir-fried with lard, and then wrapped in dough. After steaming, they become pickled vegetable buns full of broth.
The savory filling paired with the soft bun skin makes it incredibly delicious with every bite!
"Excellent!"
Xu Jingsheng's lips were greasy, which made Chen Yunyun both laugh and cry.
Packing her usual clothes, Chen Yunyun carried a cloth bag on her back, hugged Xu Jingsheng, and the family of four went to the commune to catch the cart.
It was still dark when they set off.
Since the children started school, Chen Yunyun has rarely had the opportunity to travel with them.
But this time she suddenly realized that she, an adult, couldn't even walk as fast as two little kids.
"Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"
Perhaps because she hadn't exercised in a long time, Chen Yun was really feeling a bit weak. She was slightly out of breath as she carried Xu Jingsheng.
But Xu Jingsheng, that heartless little brat, hid in her arms and giggled, as if he were laughing at her.
“Mother, we have talismans that Uncle Rongyan put up.”
Chen Yunyun then remembered this matter. Rong Yan had once done some tricks for the three children, making it easier and faster for them to go to school by walking the mountain road.
"Mother, I'll draw one for you too."
In his spare time, Xu Jingrun often studied the book of talismans given to him by Emperor Taizu. The old book was almost worn out from being read so many times.
As he spoke, Xu Jingrun made some gestures in the air in front of him. This talisman consumed a lot of spiritual power, and even though Xu Jingrun was very intelligent, it still took him quite a while to draw it.
Chen Yunyun felt a warm spiritual energy flowing into her body. She tried taking a couple of steps, and her steps immediately became lighter.
"Arun is really amazing."
After being praised, Xu Jingrun secretly blushed.
Chen Yunyun observed this and thought to herself that Xu Jingrun was reserved and shy, and that he would definitely be a very sassy person when he was in a relationship.
The group arrived at the commune before dawn, went to the station to buy tickets, and waited for the bus.
She had taken them on long trips before, so the children weren't that curious and stayed obediently by Chen Yunyun's side, never leaving her.
It took five or six hours to get to the county town by bus. After having lunch with the children at a state-run restaurant outside the station, Chen Yunyun rushed off to the provincial capital.
The provincial capital's train station was bustling with people. Many were carrying several large bags of luggage and looking hurried, while others were traveling with their families.
"Mother, why are we dressed like this?"
Last night, the four of us slept in a large hotel next to the provincial government building. The area is frequented by government officials, and the hotel was clean, hygienic, and safe, so we were able to get a good night's sleep, which was a rare treat.
After getting up in the morning, Chen Yunyun took out four sets of brand-new, clean clothes from her bag and asked the children to put them on.
Until they boarded the train, the little boy didn't understand why he had to change his clothes.
Xu Jingsheng reached his little hand to the side seam of the pants, where Chen Yunyun's needlework was not finished and some loose threads were left outside. The boy caught them and played with them endlessly.
Only the two older children looked puzzled. Didn't their mother say before that when going out, they should hide their shortcomings and dress inconspicuously?
Chen Yunyun patted the two older children on the head reassuringly, "There are a lot of people here. I'll tell you more when we get on the train."
After buying their tickets, the group went to their respective carriages.
This time, Chen Yunyun bought sleeper berths again. There were four beds in one workshop, and she bought two lower berths, which cost her one yuan more than the upper berths.
The family of four was dressed neatly, and they had taken the time to style their hair and faces before going out, so they didn't look like country folk at all.
Moreover, Chen Yunyun raised the children very well; they all had fair skin and round faces, clearly city kids.
Their clothes were brand new, without a single patch, and they looked very wealthy.
When they boarded the bus, the conductor was very polite to them, and even passersby made way for them, afraid that they would be squeezed.
"Now you know why your mother made you wear this."
The two children nodded as if they understood, but Xu Jingtian reacted quickly, "Mother, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?"
Chen Yunyun understood what the child meant. What she wanted to say was, weren't they afraid of being noticed by pickpockets on the train, since they were all dressed so nicely?
Chen Yunyun winked at Xu Jingtian, "The last one who tried to bully your mother is still lying at home~"
Five days and five nights is just too long.
Going to the toilet on the train is always an ordeal.
People in those days weren't particularly hygienic, so the toilets were dirty and smelly.
After leaving the train station with the children, Chen Yunyun quickly found a decent hotel and had a good time using the restroom.
After washing her hands, Chen Yunyun lay down on the wooden bed and let out a long sigh of relief. "Ah!"
Taking a child on a long trip is no easy task. Although her child is very obedient, Chen Yunyun was still exhausted. How wonderful it would be to have a man at home!
Rong Yan, that guy, he just disappeared without saying where he went!
Just because she doesn't ask, does that mean he can stay silent?
Lost in thought, Chen Yunyun fell asleep on the hotel bed.
Chen Yunyun knew very well that she was dreaming. She was underwater, surrounded by complete darkness.
She seemed to have turned into a fish, able to breathe freely in the water.
Suddenly, something underwater emitted a blinding light.
Immediately afterwards, an unusually pleasant smell wafted over, and Chen Yunyun's fish body uncontrollably swam towards the light source.
She swam for an unknown amount of time until she reached the entrance of a cave. The blinding white light from before had gradually dimmed, and the little fish swam into the cave with a gentle flick of its tail.
