Chapter 9 The food is better than Chinese New Year

Shen Lianxin was speechless. These little guys either guessed that she was going to sell the child or that she was going to run away. They never thought of the best side of things.

Fortunately, these children were kindhearted by nature, and although the original owner treated them so badly, their love for her did not diminish at all. They wanted to love her but were also wary of her.

Shen Lianxin wanted to touch Gu Chengxin's head to comfort him, but Gu Chengxin instinctively avoided her. This was the second time. Shen Lianxin's hands were awkwardly in the air. She didn't want to argue with him, so she said to the second and third sons, "Cheng'an, help me light the fire, and Chengjing, bring the firewood." Then she put Gu Chengzhen on the bench and said gently, "Xiaozhen, wait here. Mom will make you something delicious."

Shen Lianxin walked into her room, put the cloth and clothes on the bed, and then went to the kitchen.

Gu Chengxin stood there blankly. His mother called Cheng An and Cheng Jing, and also coaxed his little sister, but she ignored him. It must be that his two dodgers hurt his mother's heart and she no longer liked him.

The child had complicated thoughts. Gu Chengxin stood at the kitchen door, pursed his lips, neither going in nor out, and did not speak. He just stood there awkwardly and aloofly.

Shen Lianxin turned around and saw him, and thought to herself, I am already such an old person. Although this body is only 25 years old now, she was almost 40 in her original world. Why should I bother with a child?

Shen Lianxin walked over and touched his head. This time Gu Chengxin did not dodge. Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice, "We Daxin have worked hard, taking care of our brothers and sisters for a day, and digging a lot of vegetables. Mother has seen it. You go and have a rest first, take care of Xiaozhen, and ask you to serve the dishes when the meal is ready, okay?"

Gu Chengxin couldn't believe it. His mother wasn't angry with him, didn't dislike him, and even told him that he had worked hard to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. She also saw that he had dug up so many wild vegetables in the mountains until his shoes were worn out. At this moment, the last bit of stubbornness in his heart seemed to be shattered. He felt a surge of grievances and threw himself into Shen Lianxin's arms, "Mom!!! Wuuuuu!!!"

Uh! Why are you crying? Shen Lianxin was at a loss and patted his back. This child was so easy to coax. She just said something nice and the child's heart was broken. She had tried so hard to coax her son in the original world. There were so many times when she said nice things but he still didn't listen even after being beaten and scolded. The children in this world are really easily moved.

Maybe it's because he really lacks love, and his defenses are broken by the slightest bit of care.

"Cheng Xin is the big brother now, the man of the family, so he can't cry anymore. Go and stay with Xiao Zhen."

Hearing what Shen Lianxin said, she quickly wiped away her tears, nodded heavily, and said as she walked out, "Mom said that I'm the eldest brother and the man of the family, and I must never cry in the future..."

Shen Lianxin looked at Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing, their eyes were red and they were about to cry. Shen Lian was worried, "Don't cry, go get some firewood and start the fire."

Seeing their mother become fierce, the two little ones held back their tears and hurriedly picked up firewood to make a fire.

Then the two little ones watched Shen Lianxin take things out of the backpack one by one like watching a magic trick. A bag of rice was poured into the rice jar, and there was also some millet, flour, salt, oil and some seasonings they didn't know what they were, pepper, aniseed, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, bay leaves, cinnamon. They didn't know whether all these things existed in this world or not. Anyway, the kids were young and had never seen the world, so they were easier to deceive. If Shen Lianxin said that she bought it in the city, they would believe it.

Gu Chengan opened his mouth wide. Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengzhen also ran in to watch the fun. "Mom, what are all these things?"

"These are some seasonings used for cooking. They are called pepper, aniseed, soy sauce, cinnamon..." Shen Lianxin explained them to the children one by one. Seeing their curious expressions, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

"Mom, did you buy all this in the city? Your backpack can hold a lot of things. Mom is amazing."

Shen Lianxin......

When Shen Lianxin took out a bag of pork belly from the backpack, the children's saliva began to flow.

"Mom, you bought so much meat. Is it New Year's Day for our family?" Gu Chengjing said childishly.

"Mom, where did you get so much money?" Only the older boy Gu Chengxin thought of this.

Shen Lianxin was not panicked. A few little brats couldn't fool you.

"Your father left a jade pendant for mother. I went to the city to pawn it today and made a lot of money. I bought some delicious food for you." Shen Lianxin had already thought of the words and spoke them out without hesitation.

The children thought of their father's sadness and lowered their heads in silence for a while.

Shen Lianxin had no choice but to order, "Cheng'an, light the fire. Mother will make braised pork for you later. Chengjing, add more firewood."

The children came to their senses and started to move quickly. Shen Lianxin cut the meat in half and gave the other half to Gu Chengxin, "Daxin, go and get this half from the well. Save it for tomorrow."

"Hey!" After receiving the order, Gu Chengxin hurriedly moved.

There were no refrigerators to keep food fresh in those days, and the water in the well was cold, so freezing things in the well could keep them from spoiling.

Shen Lianxin could have put it in the space, but the children were watching and it was difficult for her to do it, and the ice in the well would not break down for a while.

Shen Lianxin first washed the rice and cooked it on a small stove, and then stir-fried the vegetables in a large pot on the stove pit.

Heat the oil, add a handful of sugar, wait until the sugar turns into caramel color, then add the meat, add onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, add peppercorns, aniseed and bay leaves together, stir-fry until the sugar color comes out, add water to boil, add salt, and add some cooking wine when the children are not paying attention, mainly because I am afraid that the meat will have too strong fishy smell, and there is definitely no such thing as cooking wine in this world.

After stewing for an incense stick of time, the soup was collected. Shen Lianxin served the braised pork. Naturally, she didn't want to use the broken plates and bowls at home again, so she had to bite the bullet and take out another set of tableware from the backpack. Gu Chengxin's eyes rolled around, but he didn't ask any more questions. Shen Lianxin glanced at him but didn't say anything.

The children were very happy to see the new plates and bowls, "Mom, these are really beautiful."

"Mom, does this cost a lot of money?"

Shen Lianxin smiled but did not answer, "Go get some water to wash it, I'm going to serve the meat."

As soon as they heard that there was meat to eat, the children hurriedly moved and carefully washed the dishes, fearing that they would break such beautiful dishes. After a while, the plates were brought over, and Shen Lianxin served the braised pork. The children smelled the fragrance and their mouths watered.

After asking them to bring the dishes to the table, Shen Lianxin quickly stir-fried some pickled cabbage and cooked a pot of carrot soup.

In this way, three simple dishes, one meat, one vegetable and one soup, are ready.

Each child had a bowl full of white rice, but none of the children touched it.

"What's wrong? Are you eating?" Shen Lianxin was puzzled. She hadn't eaten for a whole day. Aren't they hungry? Why were they still staring at each other?

"Mom, this is better than what we eat during the Chinese New Year. Can we really eat it?" Gu Chengjing asked in a low voice.

The other children also looked at her eagerly.

"Of course you can eat it. This is made for you. We will eat something this good every day from now on, and it will be even better than this. Mom promises it."
