Mrs. Xiao Li’s mind was filled with various thoughts that kept her awake, while beside her, Yuan Zhaodi had fallen asleep in no time, his breathing becoming heavy.
Mrs. Xiao Li listened to the sound of the person next to her sleeping soundly and raised her hand as if to hit down.
But just before her fist landed on Yuan Zhaodi, Mrs. Xiao Li pulled back.
"Sleep, sleep, all you know is sleep!"
Although she didn’t punch Yuan Zhaodi, Mrs. Xiao Li kept muttering beside him for quite a while.
Even at this moment, Mrs. Xiao Li didn’t think she was wrong.
Then, it must be her parents-in-law.
"Fine, you’re impressive, just go ahead and spoil them, there will be a time when you’ll regret it!"
"Anyway, that dead girl has nothing to do with us anymore, just go ahead and act up!"
"Let’s wait and see!"
Mrs. Xiao Li gazed in the direction of the main house, muttering for a long time before drifting off to sleep in a haze of resentment.
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng were light sleepers and woke up early.
Beside them, Yuan Shouhu and Yuan Bao were still asleep.
The two were twins and looked very alike.
Of course, it was still easy to tell them apart.
Although the siblings had similar features, their complexions were quite different.
Yuan Bao’s cheeks were a rosy white, pink and tender, while Yuan Shouhu’s face was somewhat less clean, with a hint of congealed snot visible beneath his nose.
Mrs. Zeng woke up, and by the light coming through the paper-covered window, she looked at the two similar-looking children and grew more and more delighted as she looked on.
Unfortunately, after delight, one ultimately has to face reality.
"You, don’t think too much!"
"After all, they’re our grandchildren; as long as they grow up safe and sound, the rest can be discussed when they’re older and sensible."
Old Yuan noticed his wife’s face was looking a bit off again and spoke kindly to her.
Mrs. Zeng nodded and didn’t say anything.
The two left the room and headed straight to the kitchen. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI~Fire.net
One prepared the ingredients, the other the firewood.
A pot of millet porridge was first set to simmer, and only then did Mrs. Zeng scoop half a ladle of flour to knead, preparing to make egg soft pancakes.
No need to add too many eggs, two will be enough, plus a pinch of fine salt for flavor.
Making egg soft pancakes actually requires some skill; if the cooking is slightly off, the pancakes might burn.
Mrs. Zeng had been cooking for many years and naturally had a lot of experience in this area.
Old Yuan had also been handling the fire for many years, and the old couple worked together in perfect harmony.
Once Mrs. Zeng had kneaded the dough, Old Yuan had already brought the other pot with the simmering millet porridge to a boil. Next, just let the millet porridge simmer in the pot.
"Husband, go check if Jiaojiao and the others are awake?"
Mrs. Zeng, having prepared everything, casually instructed Old Yuan.
The reason for asking Old Yuan to take a look was that the egg soft pancakes are at their most delicious when they’re fresh out of the pan.
If made too early and left warm in the pot, the pancakes’ taste would degrade significantly.
Old Yuan acknowledged, left the kitchen, and returned to the house.
At this moment, both Yuan Bao and Yuan Shouhu were still blissfully asleep.
Little children are truly a marvelous kind of creature. During the day, they are incredibly rowdy, but once they fall asleep at night, barring something unusual, they will sleep soundly until they naturally wake up, and are hard to rouse. But if they are disturbed awake, it will definitely be ear-splitting.
"They’re still sleeping!"
Old Yuan returned to the kitchen with a cheerful note, "Let’s wait a bit before making the pancakes!"
