Chapter 39
The Atmosphere of a Home
Su Binglan recalled some memories and her grandparents. They were all heartwarming scenes.
Su Binglan remembered that she didn’t like to stay in one place when she was younger. Her grandmother often carried her around on her back through the streets. Sometimes, her grandmother would carry her up the mountain and pick delicious food for her.
Although it was a memory in her mind, Su Binglan felt that it was her own memory. She thought of that young Su Binglan as herself.
A warmth spread through Su Binglan’s heart when she thought of this. She said, “I’ll cook some extras tonight, Mother. You can send some to Grandfather and Grandmother.”
Su Binglan had bought a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes. She could use them to whip up a few dishes. On top of that, she had planted many of them in her pocket dimension. There was no need to worry about a lack of vegetables because those plants proliferated in the pocket dimension.
Shen Qiuhua was stunned when she heard that. She hadn’t expected Su Binglan to take the initiative to cook food for her grandparents.
“Your grandparents will be thrilled if you cooked for them!”
Su Binglan said, “Once everything at home gets better, I’ll buy some things and pay them a visit later.”
Su Binglan had just reincarnated and had many things to sort out, so she decided not to see so many relatives at once, especially her grandparents, who might ask several questions out of concern.
Su Binglan was different from her previous self and wouldn’t know how to answer them. She didn’t want them to see through her.
A wide smile burst out on Shen Qiuhua’s face, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons. “Okay.”
Su Binglan had indeed returned to her old self. She was now sensible and considerate.
“Mother, I’ll make the candied chestnuts and french fries now so that Xuexuan and Xuexuan will have something to eat first. We’ll prepare dinner after that.”
Su Binglan looked toward Su Xuexuan and Su Xuexuan and felt that the two children were a bit on the skinny side. They probably haven’t been eating properly.
In this era, the villagers who couldn’t afford to fill their bellies usually ate only around 50-60% of their fill. That was why the children were thinner during this time.
Shen Qiuhua nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll do as you say and help you.”
Shen Qiuhua rolled up her sleeves and felt that she had the energy to do anything now. After picking up her eldest daughter-in-law and grandchildren, she had gotten a little tired from walking, but strangely, she was full of energy after drinking the water at home.
Shen Qihua felt that it must be because her daughter had gotten better, and her life was full of hope, thus filling her with energy. She didn’t know that Su Binglan had added spiritual spring water from her pocket dimension into their water supply.
“Mother, please help me wash these chestnuts.”
Su Binglan initially didn’t want Shen Qiuhua to do this and wanted her mother to rest, but she knew that if she didn’t let Shen Qiuhua do anything, Shen Qiuhua would feel uneasy. It would be better for the whole family to cook together. Working together would create a lively atmosphere within the home.
“Okay.”
Su Binglan washed the potatoes and peeled the skins.
Mother and daughter chatted while working.
Liu Yinyin finished her work in the yard and went to the kitchen, wanting to help. When she arrived at the kitchen entrance, she saw Su Binglan and Shen Qiuhua sitting at the stove, talking to each other merrily as they worked. They looked warm and harmonious. It was something she had never seen before.
Liu Yinyin suspected that she was hallucinating.
Shen Qiuhua finished washing the chestnuts. When she stood up, she saw Liu Yinyin. “Yinyin, why are you standing at the door? Come in.”
