Chu Xingjun smiled when she saw Chu Jin holding Ye Muyu’s hand. She stepped forward and handed him a piece of pastry.
“Thank you, Great Aunt.” Chu Jin received the signal and said obediently.
“Mother, can I go and play for a while?” He asked as he struggled free from Ye Muyu’s hand.
“Go, don’t run around. It’s almost dinner.”
“I know. Mother, don’t worry.”
As Chu Jin spoke, he took a bite of the pastry and went to play with Chu Bo of the second branch, Chu Cai’s family. The two of them were of the same age and had a lot to talk about.
When Xiang Ling’er arrived at the old residence, she called everyone aside and went to help in the kitchen.
The three tables in the courtyard had already been set up.
There was a table for the men, a table for the women, and a table for the children.
Soon, the hotpot was served.
There were two pots on the male table, one with a spicy soup base and one with a clear soup base.
The pot was a very traditional small stove. There was a hollow passage in the middle where charcoal could be added to the fire. It was also very convenient to eat.
After the pots and dishes were set up, they sat down one after another.
Ye Muyu brought out a basin of water and asked Ziluo to wash her hands.
“Mom, I’m going to play with Ah Juan and the others in the afternoon. We made a game and it’s so fun.” Chu Ziluo rarely played with these children in the past. Now that she had opened up more, she was no longer as mature and cautious. She was much more lively.
“No wonder your body is so dusty. Come, wash your hands. Otherwise, your stomach will hurt if you eat dirty things.”
“Mom, I’ve washed up. Can I cook some food myself later? I’ve never eaten hotpot before. I heard Cousin Ah Ming say that it’s cool to cook a pot and eat it yourself. The other friends in the village have never eaten it before. I want to be the first.”
“Sure, but don’t burn yourself. The pot is very hot.”
“Mother, I’ll watch over little brother. He won’t get scalded.”
“Alright, then I’ll hand this task to Ziluo.” Ye Muyu looked at the two kids lovingly as they washed their hands and ran to the dining table.
The others were also called over by Chu Jin to wash their hands.
Ye Muyu then changed the basin of water for them to wash.
Originally, everyone did not have this habit. Unless they did farm work and their hands were dirty, they would wash their hands and eat.
Seeing Chu Jin and Ziluo doing the same, the children followed suit.
Ye Muyu was very satisfied. This kind of lifestyle should be cultivated properly. It was also good for the body.
“Third Sister-in-law, should I wash my hands too?” Madam Wang smiled awkwardly. She was dragged here by her son just now.
Ye Muyu nodded. “It’s good to wash your hands before meals. After all, you’ve been busy all day. There’s a lot of dirt on your hands.”
Madam Wang’s gaze fell on Ye Muyu. After a few more glances, she was extremely envious. Previously, Ye Muyu had done the least work and had money to buy rouge and cosmetic powder. However, her health was not good and she did not look good.
However, why was Ye Muyu’s skin so fair and good now?
“Second Sister-in-law?” Ye Muyu could not help but remind her as she stared at her.
Madam Wang got back to her senses abruptly and realized what she had done. She became even more embarrassed. “Erm, I’ll wash my hands, wash my hands…”
As she spoke, she placed her hand into the basin and rubbed it casually.
Just as she was about to pick it up, Ye Muyu reached out and smeared a milky white cream on her hand.
“What is this?” Madam Wang was curious, but she could not help but take a second look at Ye Muyu’s slender and fair hands. They were too beautiful!
