Gu Qingyao smiled and went to prepare lunch.

The chicken would need a jar to boil. Chen Goudan had one that was very clean. They usually used it to boil water.

Mo Beihan brought an iron pot. That was a rare thing. Only Mo Beihan had the ability to have iron pots and bring out one in the nearby brigades.

The Gu family also had such capabilities. Gu Qingyao’s brothers all had stable jobs and income. However, as the past landlord family, the Gu family must keep a low profile.

Mo Beihan was different as he was not limited by ident.i.ty. Everyone knew that he was living a good life outside.

Lunch was simple but Gu Qingyao still tried to make it more delicious. She could only use the simplest ingredients to prevent catching people’s attention.

She used the jar to boil chicken soup. Besides seasoning, she added mushroom and wild vegetables that everyone was familiar with. The iron pot was used to make flat cakes. Then she fried a large serving of pickled cowpea.

It helped to increase appet.i.te.

Garlic and chili were added into the cowpea. One could smell the spicy level when she was frying the cowpea, but it was really appetizing.

The fragrance of the chicken soup spread out. The children all swallowed their saliva upon smelling the fragrance.

The chicken soup was cooked.

“Lunch is ready. Come over,” Gu Qingyao shouted.

The few children immediately threw away the things in their hands and ran over. They could not resist the temptation of the food anymore.

Gu Qingyao smiled and looked at the children. She pa.s.sed them one bowl of chicken soup each. Their faces were filled with satisfaction as they were drinking the soup.

w.a.n.g Qingshan took a sip and sighed, “Taste is so good!”

“You should eat less. Let the children eat,” Mo Beihan said.

w.a.n.g Qingshan, “…”

He opened his eyes wide and said, “Why… Are you saying it on purpose? It seems like I’m fighting for food with the children. How am I supposed to eat now?”

“Puff… It’s okay. We have enough soup for everyone. Brother Qingshan, eat more. You did a lot of work this morning as well.”

w.a.n.g Qingshan smiled again, “That’s right. Thank you, Sister Qingyao. I think he just hates me.”

“Hahaha…” The few children all laughed.

All of them enjoyed the meal of chicken soup and appetizing pickled cowpea.

Though pickled cowpea was the only dish, the people of this generation were not picky. They were satisfied as long as there was food.

When they were about to finish, Gu Ruoqing and Chen Honghua came. They searched for the source of the fragrance. After seeing the chicken soup, they immediately rushed in.

The chicken soup was almost finished and only chicken bones were left.

Chen Honghua’s eyes were red and shouted, “Chen Goudan, how dare you eat meat here! Who allowed you to eat meat?”

Her scream pierced through everyone’s ears.

Gu Ruoqing was not happy as well, “Gu Qingyao, why didn’t you tell me that there’s chicken soup? What are you doing here? Mother and I both came back. You should be cooking lunch for us at home!”

Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes, “You still know that you need to come back? Isn’t the town your new home? So rare to see you here. Didn’t you spend the past two days in the town?”

Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui had always gone out these past few days. Many people witnessed that and gossipped about it. But no one had brought the topic onto the surface yet.
