“You two are grown-ups now, and you still lack this basic awareness? I still have to teach you two? Even though you’re outside every day doing work and handling business, I really don’t know how you’ve survived so far.”

Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng, the two brothers, their faces turned red again.

Ever since they had entered the courtyard and heard that Mrs. Wen was sick, they were solely focused on her. Although they knew it was difficult for Zhuang Qingning to take care of Mrs. Wen, and they expressed their gratitude. Still, they didn’t give it due importance. Especially now, when Mrs. Wen blatantly pointed it out, their faces really couldn’t hold up.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll arrange it, you rest first,” Zhuang Yutian quickly agreed, wanted to walk away immediately, but he was still kneeling because Mrs. Wen had punished him, so he didn’t dare to get up. He looked at Mrs. Wen and waited for her orders.

“Know but still not hurrying up? Still dilly-dallying?” Mrs. Wen snorted coldly and no longer cared about the two brothers. She just leaned against her pillow and closed her eyes.

After hearing these words, Zhuang Yutian quickly dragged Zhuang Yucheng out of the house, and the two brothers started to assign themselves tasks.

Mrs. Meng saw that her husband didn’t look too displeased when he came out of the house, her mind calmed down. She listened to her husband’s instructions to go about her tasks.

The two brothers, those who had to go to town to buy things did as tasked, those who needed to decoct medicine did that, those who needed to kill chicken did that, coupled with the children’s laughter and noise, the courtyard became lively in an instant.

Mrs. Wen leaned on the pillow, listening to the commotion. She slanted her head slightly, opened her eyes.

Lying on the bed, she couldn’t see the whole scenario in the courtyard, but she could see some from the open window, and heard the bustle in the courtyard.

Ah, it’s like this for people in life.

Mrs. Wen sighed, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but raise slightly.

On this side, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui were yawning nonstop back after arriving home.

“Get some more sleep.” Zhuang Qingning advised: “You must not have slept well last night. Auntie and Qiuying are looking after the shop in the town, and Uncle Bai San already sent the message over, there’s no need for you to go today.”

“Yes.” Zhuang Qingsui nodded.

She indeed didn’t sleep well last night. Now her eyelids were fighting to stay open, but drowsy as she was, everything told her that Zhuang Qingning was even more sleepy and hadn’t eaten yet. Zhuang Qingsui felt her drowsiness disappear.

“I’m not hungry.” Zhuang Qingning rubbed her stomach.

Indeed, she was not very hungry, and she didn’t have the appetite to eat.

“Probably because I drank a lot of tea last night to stay awake, I don’t feel hungry now.” Zhuang Qingning casually picked a cucumber from their garden, fetched a scoop of water from the water tank to wash it, and took a bite.

The cucumber was exceptionally crispy and sweet, much more delicious than regular cucumbers. It tasted refreshing with an indescribable sweetness, undoubtedly due to the nutrient solution it had been watered with.

“I’ll eat this to fill up a bit. It’s not early right now, I’ll eat properly when it’s lunchtime.” Zhuang Qingning said, “You go tidy up first. I’ll have a nap shortly.”

Seeing Zhuang Qingning so determined, Zhuang Qingsui agreed and went to tidy up the beds. Meanwhile, she thought about what to cook for lunch to make Zhuang Qingning comfortable.

Seeing Zhuang Qingsui went into the house, Zhuang Qingning ate the cucumber in her hand at a fast pace, and summoned an Al.

What’s the reward for the task?

[Congratulations on completing the task “Neighbors are better than distant relatives”, Host get the basic recipe for mung bean sprouts, unlock the basic recipe for making mung bean sprout soup, and get three fragments of “riding the wind to success”]

Mung bean sprouts, that’s nice. Just right to sell it together with soybean sprouts, so there are choices for customers.

As the weather gets hotter, mung bean sprouts can help to clear heat and detoxify. After it’s blanched in boiling water, it can be mixed with cucumber, tofu slices, peanuts, and celery…

Mung bean sprouts, get on with it!

Zhuang Qingning wiped the saliva from her mouth.

[The system is very intelligent and can set rewards for the successful completion of tasks based on the host’s immediate needs. Moreover, the system will definitely choose the appropriate time to release tasks, reminding the host to claim task rewards…]

It’s the first time I’ve heard someone describe forgetting to reward the host for completing a task as being so fresh and unique.

Having said all that, I am indeed tired today, and I am very satisfied with the mung bean sprouts recipe, so let’s call it a day.

Thank you, I’m going to get some sleep.

There was a slight sizzling sound in the system, clearly, the Al had complaints but had to leave.

Zhuang Qingning rinsed her mouth, washed her hands, and went back into the house.

Basically, she did not sleep in the morning. Even if she was sleepy enough to nap now, she didn’t sleep long. By noon, she was thoroughly awake.

Zhuang Qingsui woke up earlier than Zhuang Qingning and was already busy in the kitchen. When Zhuang Qingning arrived in the courtyard, Qingsui was kneading dough, with a small patch of flour on her nose.

“You’ve turned into a little flower cat.” Zhuang Qingning rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands: “I’ll do it, you go pick some cucumbers, tomatoes, we’ll have tomato and egg noodles for lunch, with some smashed cucumbers and stir-fried ground meat with mung beans.”

Zhuang Qingsui wanted to cook the noon meal, but she was small and didn’t have enough strength. Even though she kneaded the dough, she couldn’t handle the rolling pin. She can only give up on the task of rolling noodles, wash her hands, and pick cucumbers and tomatoes.

After kneading the dough with eggs and salt water and letting it rest for a while, Zhuang Qingning washed her hands and took the rolling pin.

“Miss Ning.” Zhuang Yutian started speaking as he walked into the courtyard, holding a clay pot in his hand, and laughed, “Making lunch?”

“Yeah, I’m about to roll the dough for noodles,” Zhuang Qingning replied. “Uncle Yutian, why are you here? How’s Auntie? Is she feeling any better?”

“She took her medicine in the morning and slept for a while. Now she has some energy and an appetite for lunch. We stewed two chickens at home and made a bowl of chicken soup noodles with chicken broth for lunch. She was eating when I left home.”

Zhuang Yutian handed the clay pot in his hand to Zhuang Qingning and said, “This is specifically for you two, it’s well stewed, and you can eat it directly. If you’re making noodles, you can also cook them and put them into this soup for extra flavor. It tastes quite good.”

“Uncle Yutian, what’s this for?” Zhuang Qingning declined repeatedly, “We are preparing our lunch, why don’t you take it back?”

“Please don’t.”

Zhuang Yutian quickly replied: “If it wasn’t for you last night, Ning, I don’t know how my mother would have been with no one to take care of her. You were busy all night and didn’t even have time to eat breakfast. I haven’t had a chance to say thank you properly yet..”
