Xiaoxiao thought momentarily before saying, “Make a braised pork for you again?”

Ning Erlang blushed and wanted to pat her head. “You promised me that you wouldn’t buy anything again!”

Xiaoxiao said righteously, “This is food. It’s a necessity for life. 1 didn’t buy it randomly. Look at how rosy and handsome you and Big Brother have been recently. You should all thank me!”

Even Ning Dalang was embarrassed. He clenched his fists and coughed lightly. Although he was very happy that his sister praised him, he still had to restrain himself publicly. Hence, he went to persuade his brother to stop talking. Ning Erlang felt aggrieved. His sister should be the one being taught a lesson, but why was he the one who was injured?

Xiaoxiao laughed out loud and said to him, “1’11 do it again.”

In the carriage, Shen Tianci listened to the commotion outside enviously. As an only child, he had never experienced such a feeling. He wanted to participate in it, but he felt that it was inappropriate. Therefore, he quietly pulled open the carriage curtain and peeked out.

The three members of the Ning Family laughed happily.

Xiaoxiao pretended not to notice his gaze. Seeing that they were about to reach the village entrance, she discussed with the county magistrate’s butler. “Uncle, can you park the carriage here and follow us walking?”

She said, “It’s mainly because we’re from a small family, and there aren’t any big shots around. If others suddenly hear that the county magistrate sent someone over, they might think we have done something wrong.”

The butler nodded. He had the same plan as Xiaoxiao, but the reasons differed. He worried these children would use the county magistrate’s name to brag and ruin the reputation.

Xiaoxiao asked again, “Young Master Shen, do you want to go to my house to take a look?”

Shen Tianci had long been curious about what a farmer’s family looked like. Hearing this, he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage. “Alright, I’ll make this trip with you and see what delicious food your family has.”

The butler was not worried about safety. Before he came, he had already gotten someone to investigate the Ning family’s situation and discovered that it was just an ordinary farmer. Hence, he accompanied the young master and followed Xiaoxiao to the Ning residence.

On the way, she told her eldest brother and second brother in front of the butler and Shen Tianci, “When we get home, let’s not talk about Young Master Shen’s identity. Just say he’s an ordinary guest who likes pickled vegetables and wants to buy them. Parents are timid. Don’t scare them.”

Ning Dalang vaguely felt his sister was holding back, but he listened. Ning Erlang didn’t care to begin with. Seeing that his eldest brother agreed, he nodded and asked Xiaoxiao, “Sister, you bought sugar today. Are you going to make braised pork?”

Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Tianci’s calm expression and shook her head. She told Second Brother, “No, 1 will make the shredded sweet potato. It’s soft and stringy.”

Shen Tianci was speechless. He had already eaten so much braised pork that he wanted to vomit. Only farmers who could not eat meat would crave these. But what was a shredded sweet potato?

Xiaoxiao added, “We picked up a lot of mushrooms from the mountains yesterday. I still have prawns on my net, right?”

She pinched her chin and thought for a moment. “Then I’ll have another mushroom-brewed shrimp. Second Brother, help me chop the shrimp meat into prawns later. Stir the mushrooms with shrimp paste and sprinkle some salt. Just put it in the pot and steam it. Bite it while it’s hot. The shrimp meat will be bouncy, and the juice will burst in one mouthful. At the bottom, spread a layer of vegetable sprouts planted at home. It will be delicious after absorbing the soup from the shrimp and mushrooms.”

Shen Tianci touched his rumbling stomach and thought, “Are farmers nowadays so good at eating? Didn’t they say that they wouldn’t be able to eat and wear warm clothes?”

Seeing that the effect she wanted had arrived, Xiaoxiao said, “Coincidentally, 1 bought eggs today.. Shall 1 make omelet rice for you to try today?”
