The day father and daughter returned, Li Xiu’e and Grandma Liu were busy in the kitchen, slaughtering chickens and fish, steaming buns, stir-frying vegetables, and letting out plumes of blue smoke from the chimney. The aroma of stewed meat wafted out from the courtyard, drawing the curious gaze of nearby neighbors.

“Sister Su, what delicious dish are you stewing that smells so wonderful?”

Li Dashan’s wife, attracted by the fragrance, opened the courtyard door with a smile and walked into the kitchen. She eyed the stove full of meat and vegetables, pinched a piece of cured meat and put it in her mouth, chewing while asking, “What’s the special occasion today? So many dishes are prepared?”

Li Xiue’s eyes were filled with joy: “Sister Qiao is coming back, her dad went to the county to pick her up, and they should be home by dusk.”

“Ah, our village’s female scholar is back!”

Li Dashan’s wife joked with a smile: “No wonder I saw you looking so happy these days, as if you were walking on air.”

“Hehe, I’m not as happy as you are.”

Li Xiue laughed and replied: “The two young ones have gone to work in the Medicinal Cuisine Company, earning big money for you.”

“Ah, ah.”

Mentioning this matter, Li Dashan’s wife stopped smiling and let out a melancholy sigh.

“When children grow up, they no longer depend on their mother, let them do whatever they want. We are living well in the village, with food and clothes, and don’t rely on the money they earn.”

“What’s the matter? Missing your sons? Can’t bear it since they just left?” Li Xiue knew her feelings like the back of her hand and teased her with a smile. “Those two little rascals, I’m not thinking about them.”

Li Dashan’s wife was stubborn, unwilling to admit to missing her sons, feeling embarrassed.

“You’ll get used to it. When children grow up, they will eventually leave their parents to venture out. It’s not easy for them to work and study outside.”

Li Xiue was an experienced mother who had sent two children to study in the county town. She smiled and comforted.

“As parents, we should help them as much as we can. Since we’re too far away to help, taking care of our health is enough. Don’t bother the children when we get old.”

“Ah, ah, now that you mention it, it makes sense.”

Li Dashan’s wife laughed sheepishly: “Indeed, there are the old and the young to take care of at home. No time to worry about them every day.”

“Sister Yu caught some fish in the river; take one back and treat your family.”

Li Xiue put down the spoon, walked out of the kitchen, scooped up a big carp weighing more than five pounds from the water tank with a net, and handed it to her with a smile.

Li Dashan’s wife smiled and declined: “No need, I’ve been mooching off your family every day, and it’s embarrassing.”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Li Xiue didn’t let her say no and stuffed the net into her hand: “Take it quickly. There’s still time. Go home and slaughter it, then stew a pot of soup. The old and the young will love it.”

“Alright, thank you. I’ll go home and stew some soup.”

Unable to refuse, Li Dashan’s wife took the fish with a smile, carried the net, and walked away delighted.

“Mom, we’re back.”

Only moments after she left, Su Qingluo entered, carrying the Little Prince.

Little Mengbao got off the ferry boat, followed his sister all the way, and then acted spoiled when they reached the door, insisting on being carried by his sister.

“Sister Yu is back!”

Li Xiue joyfully poked her head out of the kitchen and greeted her daughter.

“Mom, the stewed meat smells delicious!”

Su Qingluo carried the Little Prince into the kitchen, sniffed with her little nose, and circled around the stove.

“The stove is too dirty, take your brother to wash his hands first. We’ll start the meal when your dad gets back.”

Li Xiue laughed and shooed her out of the kitchen.

“When will dad and Sister Qiao be home?”

Su Qingluo quickly grabbed a piece of cooked meat and stuffed it in her mouth when her mom wasn’t looking. Seeing that the Little Prince was staring at her, she also stuffed a piece in his mouth.

The two little ones covered their mouths and chuckled secretly..
