FSC [QT] Chapter 72.4

Although Ah Wu had the memory of the original owner, she still had some problems with the actual operation.

For example, when she boiled water at night, she tried for a long time before lighting the fire on the stove. She was choked by the thick black smoke several times in the middle of the process.

When the water boiled, her face was covered with black ash.

Fortunately, this thing was easy to use. By the time she prepared breakfast the next morning, Ah Wu was able to operate it quite skillfully.

Today’s breakfast was very simple. Ah Wu cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge with the leftover rice and dried sweet potatoes in the cupboard. Then, she picked out two of the best-shaped eggs from the few remaining eggs, added a little salt and half a bowl of water, and steamed a large bowl of tender egg custard.

The leftovers in the cupboard had been there for two or three days. Fortunately, the weather was cold now, so it didn’t taste bad.

Ah Wu’s hidden emotions told her that the rice that had been stored for so long could not be eaten even if it had not gone bad.

But Ye Wu’s rationality told her that in this day and age, throwing away rice that had not gone bad would be an act that would be criticized by others.

Fortunately, the sweet potato porridge cooked in the end was not bad to drink. Because of the addition of a handful of dried sweet potatoes, the thick soup porridge had a slight sweetness.

With the fragrance of rice and sweet potatoes, Ah Wu drank two whole bowls without any psychological burden and finished all the leftovers.

“Ah—”

Children were very sensitive to emotions. Perhaps they noticed the low mood of the people around them, Zhuangwa and Baowa became even more cheerful as if they wanted to use their cute behavior to make their mother happy again.

For example, when eating egg custard at this moment, the two babies rushed to make funny sounds.

“Ah—”

Baowa felt that the sound made by her brother just now was louder than hers. When she held the small spoon of egg custard in her mouth, she held her breath and made an even louder sound.

Confirming that her voice was louder than her brother’s, she looked at her brother proudly. Then, she blinked at her mother who was holding the brother and sister and feeding them, hoping that her mother would praise her.

“Whose little fairy is this? How can she be so cute?”

Ah Wu couldn’t help but kiss her daughter’s little face. She didn’t show favoritism and turned around to kiss her son on the cheek.

“But, you can’t make any noise when eating. It’s impolite.”

People of this era tended to be more reserved in their emotions, and even mothers and children rarely kissed or hugged each other.

Zhuangwa was immediately shy after being kissed by his mother. He covered his face and shrank into Ah Wu’s arms. No matter how Ah Wu called him, he refused to raise his head.

Baowa thought that it was fun and buried her face in Ah Wu’s chest like her brother.

Hugging these two naughty ancestors on the left and right, Ah Wu could hardly hold the soup bowl and spoon in her hand.

“Cao Ni’er, Zhang Youdong is back and is now at your parents-in-law’s house. You should go over there quickly.”

After Ah Wu had finally finished feeding the two children, someone who lived nearby hurried over to inform her of the news.

Ah Wu quickly packed up and rushed to her parents-in-law’s house, carrying her two children.

***

When Ah Wu arrived, there were already a lot of people surrounding Kuang Aiguo’s house. When they saw her coming, they made way for her.

“Go into the house. Give me the children, and I’ll take care of them for you.”

Fan Fang, Kuang Aiguo’s wife, took the two children from Ah Wu and urged her to go in.

Seeing that it was their familiar Auntie, the two children, who were already tired from playing, did not make a fuss. They waved to their mother obediently, and then Fan Fang held them and went to play with their cousins.

When Ah Wu entered the house, there were several people sitting in the house.

There were the two elders of the Kuang family, the Eldest Brother-in-law Kuang Aiguo, and Kuang Aidang and his wife, who rushed over after hearing the news. In addition to them, there were two other people.

After Ah Wu entered the house, the two people who had their backs to her turned around.

They were all children who grew up in Zhangjiagou. Ah Wu had seen these two people in the memory of ‘Ye Wu’ long ago, but for some reason, when she saw Jin Qiaoqiao this time, many memories that were not there inexplicably emerged in Ah Wu’s mind.
