Shen Lianxin got up and left. The Shen family members looked at each other and said, "Do you think Xiao Si has really become rich or is he just pretending? A big brick and tile house, how dare you say that!" Shen Laibao said while eating a watermelon.

"It doesn't seem like Fourth Sister is joking." Shen Lai Fu also wondered how he suddenly became so rich.

Sun Xiaoyue curled her lips in disbelief, "It's just bragging, everyone can brag."

Old Madam Shen slammed the table and said, "Eat quickly. Eating won't stop you from eating. Clean up after you finish eating."

She turned around and walked back into the house. She didn't believe that Shen Lianxin had so much money, but she didn't want to listen to them saying bad things about her.

When we got home under the scorching sun, the kids were still studying with sweat all over their foreheads. Xiaozhen was so hot that she fell asleep lying on her back in the room.

Seeing Shen Lianxin coming back, Gu Chengxin quickly stood up and poured her a glass of water. After drinking a sip of the sweet well water, she felt alive again.

Shen Lianxin took out the half watermelon that was trapped in the well, "Daxin, cut the watermelon into pieces and share it with everyone."

When they saw the watermelons, the children's eyes lit up and they surrounded Gu Chengxin, waiting for him to share the watermelons.

Shen Lianxin smiled and started to prepare lunch. Take a handful of spinach and use a stone mortar to pound out the juice. If it is too dry, add a little water. Take out a bowl of noodles, add the spinach juice, and stir with chopsticks. If there is too much noodles, add water, and if there is too much water, add noodles. After mixing well, knead it with your hands, knead it repeatedly until it becomes a dough. Cover it with a lid and let it rise for a while.

Shen Lianxin took out another piece of meat, chopped it up, prepared minced garlic and ginger, heated up the oil in a pan, added minced meat and ginger and fried until fragrant, then added a spoonful of sweet noodle sauce, a large spoonful of bean paste, oyster sauce, and a little soy sauce. Add water and bring to a boil, and finally add minced garlic. Turn off the heat, and a simple and delicious meat sauce is ready.

After the dough becomes smooth, Shen Lianxin rolls it into sheets and cuts it into strips with a knife. A simple spinach hand-rolled noodle is ready.

Boil water in a pot, add noodles when the water boils, and then take them out and rinse them with cold water. It is refreshing and delicious to eat cold noodles in hot weather.

After the children finished eating the watermelon, they cleared the table, washed their hands, and rushed to serve the noodles. The aroma of the meat sauce wafted out, and the greedy children drooled.

"Mom, this smells so good."

How could it not smell good? Shen Lianxin added a lot of oil and meat, it was so fragrant.

The children were eating enthusiastically. Shen Lianxin woke up Gu Chengzhen and said, "It's time to eat, Xiaozhen."

Gu Chengzhen went to wash her hands in a daze, and walked out the door. Gu Chengan hurried to pull her out, but found Xiaohui squatting at the door.

"Xiaohui? Why are you here?" Gu Chengan asked puzzledly.

"Brother Cheng'an, I'm here to bring you some candied haws." As she said this, she shyly stretched out her little hand and handed over a string of candied haws with only two left.

"Are the candied haws not delicious? Why are there two left?" Gu Cheng'an frowned. He couldn't bear to eat any of them.

"No, they're delicious. These two are what I left for Brother Cheng An. I, I didn't touch them." Xiao Hui lowered her head, not daring to look at Cheng An.

Shen Lianxin heard the voice and came over. Gu Chengan looked at her anxiously, "Mom! Can I..."

Patting his head, "Xiao Hui is your friend, you can invite her to dinner at home."

Gu Chengan nodded happily when he heard it, "Xiaohui, let's go to my house for dinner. The meat sauce noodles my mother made are delicious."

Xiaohui was a little timid and didn't dare to move. She looked at Shen Lianxin with some vigilance. Shen Lianxin gave her an encouraging smile.

Gu Chengan took her little hand and pulled her inside, "Hurry up, what are you standing there for?"

Being pulled into the yard, Xiaohui looked at the big bowl of fragrant meat sauce on the table and turned her face away. That was not the food she could think of.

Shen Lianxin filled two basins with water and washed Xiaozhen's hands while instructing Gu Chengan, "Teach Xiaohui to wash her hands with soap. Wash them before eating."

"Okay, mother." Gu Chengan concealed the use of soap and asked Xiaohui to wash. Xiaohui stood there in a daze. Gu Chengan was anxious and grabbed Xiaohui's hand, picked up the soap and rubbed it for her. While rubbing, he said, "Look, the water is black, so dirty. My mother said that we should wash our hands frequently and keep them clean so that we won't get sick easily."

After washing, he wiped her clean. Shen Lianxin saw it but said nothing. She took another bowl and served a bowl of noodles to Xiaohui as well, then used a small spoon to add a spoonful of meat sauce to everyone's noodles.

"Taste it to see how salty it is. If it's not flavorful enough, add some meat sauce." Shen Lianxin said gently.

Several children ate the noodles with big mouthfuls, "It smells so good! It smells so good!"

Xiaohui couldn't get enough to eat at home. Even brown rice and vegetable porridge could only be eaten once every two days. Not to mention the noodles made of white flour and meat sauce. She felt a little uneasy.

"Eat, Xiaohui, eat quickly. The food my mother cooks is the best in the world." Gu Chengan kept urging her anxiously.

Xiaohui came to her senses and stuffed the food into her mouth in big mouthfuls.

"Eat slowly, there's more!" Shen Lianxin was afraid that she would choke again.

After finishing a bowl of noodles in a few bites, Shen Lianxin was about to serve her another bowl, but Xiaohui quickly waved her hands, "Aunt, I'm full, really full." After finishing a bowl of noodles, Xiaohui's stomach started to growl, and she lowered her head embarrassedly.

Shen Lianxin stood up and served another bowl, adding a large spoonful of meat sauce, "Eat more, noodles won't satisfy your hunger."

Xiao Hui looked up at Shen Lianxin's smiling eyes, her eyes moist. Aunt Gu was so gentle. Xiao An didn't lie to her. The food Aunt Gu cooked was really the best in the world. Aunt Gu was like her mother. When her mother was around, she spoke to her so gently.

Xiao Hui had tears in her eyes, Shen Lianxin wiped them away for her. "You are Xiao An's friend, so you can come and visit us often in the future."

Xiao Hui nodded, wiped her tears, and finished all the noodles in the bowl. Gu Chengan patted her shoulder happily, "How is it? Am I right? My mother's cooking is the best."

Xiao Hui smiled and replied, "Aunt's cooking is the best I've ever eaten."

Shen Lianxin saw that her silly boy was so heartless that she couldn't bear to watch him. After the meal, the children helped to clean up and wash the dishes.

Shen Lianxin sent them out to play. It was not good to sit still in such a hot sun. They needed to move around a bit to build up their strength.

I'm counting the days. In two days I have to go to Yuncheng to set up a barbecue restaurant. Life has to go on and I can't stop making money. I have to spend money and make money at the same time.

Shen Lianxin thought about it and went back to the room to hide in the shade. She fell asleep on the bed in a daze. She faintly heard someone calling her outside, "Mom, mom, it's bad, something happened!"

Shen Lianxin panicked and rolled over from the bed, "What's wrong?"

Gu Chengjing, who came back to report the news, was sweating and panting. "Mom, it's bad. The head of the Taoshu Village next door brought their village's able-bodied men to our village to cause trouble. The head of the village is leading people to confront them."

Shen Lianxin thought something had happened to the kids, but when she heard that they were people from the neighboring village causing trouble, she felt relieved because it was none of her business.

"My second uncle, third uncle, and my eldest and second brothers are going to fight with them!"

Shen Lianxin's heart, which had just been put at ease, rose to her throat again, "What's going on?"
