Ni Cuihua was wearing a beige batwing shirt on the upper body, and a pair of black flared trousers on the lower body.

The batwing shirt was fashionable this year. It had a retro pattern embroidered on the collar which echoed the pattern on the cuffs – it looked very nice.

Ni Cuihua’s skin was originally on the paler side, so wearing beige now made her skin look even more fair and well-balanced.

Due to her wearing a bra, her bust was shaped perfectly, presenting a great confidence.

Even her posture improved, and she was standing much straighter.

The transformation made her look like a different person. Where had that previous, self-conscious and gloomy look gone?

For a moment, Ni Cuihua almost couldn’t believe that the person in the mirror was her.

But the bra was too tight, uncomfortably so, and she couldn’t resist the urge to loosen that bit of strap at the back.

After all, a habit of thirty-six years couldn’t be changed overnight.

Ni Yang held Ni Cuihua’s hand, “Mom, look at how beautiful you are now. If you don’t wear a bra, there won’t be such an effect and if you don’t believe me, go to your room and take off the bra to try it.”

Ni Cuihua didn’t really believe it.

So she turned around, went into her room and took off her bra.

When she looked at herself in the mirror again, she was stunned.

Apparently, the difference between wearing a bra and not wearing one is quite significant.

The person in the mirror had a hunched back and lost all sense of confidence, appearing despondently and conspicuously older.

Ni Yang came over with a smile, put her hand on Ni Cuihua’s shoulder and said, “Mom, as I said, there is really a big difference between wearing a bra and not wearing one.”

Ni Cuihua straightened her clothes in the mirror.

Then Ni Yang continued, “Mom, listen to me. Dress like this tomorrow and don’t wear those old clothes in the future. It’s not like we can’t afford new clothes.”

“Alright,” Ni Cuihua said, looking at Ni Yang and nodding, “I’ll listen to you.”

Ni Yang laughed and said, “Remember to wear your bra, too.”

“I know, I know,” Ni Cuihua nodded somewhat uncomfortably.

After leaving Ni Cuihua’s bedroom, Ni Yang went into the kitchen.

Because she had previously promised Li Gongcheng that she would cook something nutritious and delicious for his elderly grandmother, she intended to brainstorm meal ideas in the kitchen.

Li Gongcheng mentioned that the grandmother’s appetite was not very good.

Generally, there are only two reasons why elderly people have a poor appetite.

First, as age increases, the taste buds on the tongue gradually degrade, and consequently, the tongue’s reaction to food slowly weakens.

Second, the decline in digestive function in the elderly can lead to stomach coldness, causing loss of appetite.

Therefore, the remedy should be targeted.

After pondering for a while, Ni Yang started to prepare the ingredients.

She planned to make sour cabbage and pork stuffed pan-fried dumplings for the grandmother, and then boil some mint porridge.

The pairing of sour cabbage and pork pan-fried dumplings with light mint porridge in the morning is simply delicious.

Mint has the effects of dispelling wind-heat, clearing the head and eyes, and inducing sweating and easing rash. In summer, elderly people can eat mint porridge to soothe their minds, disperse heat, stimulate appetite, aid digestion, and even break down greasiness.

The dumplings can be wrapped now, and they can be pan-fried tomorrow morning.

Porridge, however, needs to be cooked fresh tomorrow morning.

Because leftover porridge is not tasty and less nutritious as well.

Although she couldn’t cook the porridge in advance, she could soak the rice ahead of time.

Ni Yang skillfully washed the rice and left it to soak in a clay pot.

After soaking the rice, Ni Yang went to the Vegetable Garden to pick some mint leaves.

She had found this mint by chance by the river and took a few plants back to plant in the Vegetable Garden, which unexpectedly grew very well.

After picking the mint leaves, Ni Yang started to knead the dough and roll out the Dumpling Skins.

After putting child to bed, Ni Cuihua also came into the kitchen.

“Yangyang, what are you busy with? Let me help you.”

Ni Yang turned around with a smile, “Do you still remember how to make Liao Ye dumplings?”

“Yes.” Ni Cuihua nodded.

Ni Yang then told Ni Cuihua about what she had planned for Mrs. Mo.

Hearing this, Ni Cuihua laughed, “What’s so difficult about that? Leave the job of dumpling and dumpling skin making to me, and you go and prepare the dumpling stuffing.”

Apart from not cooking as deliciously as Ni Yang, Ni Cuihua was a very competent mother.

She had many skills such as embroidery, shoe mending, knitting…

Moreover, Ni Cuihua was extremely intelligent. She picked up many things quickly after being taught once.

“Alright.” Ni Yang nodded, “Then I’ll leave it to you..”
