Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 122 Warm Life

Shen Li was sitting on a chair in the room, tilting her head slightly, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned her head and looked behind her, and asked crisply, "Mother?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang came in from outside, holding an exquisite tray steadily in her hands, on which was a plate full of snacks.

Zhang walked to the table with light steps and gently placed the snacks on the table. Her face was full of gentle smiles, her eyes full of love, and she said softly, "Li'er, ever since you came back from the capital, you have been busy with this and that, without a moment to rest. Look at you, your little face has become much thinner!"

When Shen Li heard this, she subconsciously stretched out her little hand and gently touched her cheek. She opened her big round eyes and said with a puzzled look: "Really? Why don't I feel anything?"

As she spoke, her little hand reached out towards the snacks, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth impatiently. Her cheeks suddenly puffed up and her speech became incoherent, but her hands did not stop moving. She took Zhang's arm and said incoherently, "Thank you, mother. This snack is really delicious. I'm starving!"

Zhang looked at her daughter like this, and she found that she was no different from before, still that innocent, lovely and slightly childish little girl. She suddenly felt extremely comfortable and happy, as if all her worries had disappeared at this moment.

She reached out her hand, gently touched Shen Li's little head, and said with a smile: "Dinner will be served soon. Lin has made a lot of delicious food today, all of which you like."

When Shen Li heard this, her eyes lit up instantly and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go wash my hands right away!" As she said that, she pretended to get up and walk out of the house.

Seeing this, Zhang couldn't help but laugh and shook her head, jokingly saying, "You, why didn't you think of washing your hands before eating snacks? Now you're being particular."

Although there was a hint of teasing in her words, it was more of doting and love for her daughter. The warm atmosphere spread throughout the house, making people feel particularly warm.

After a while, Shen Shaodong and Shen Xuan appeared at the gate of the yard. They walked into the yard while talking. Shen Li saw them and waved happily to his father and brother, shouting, "Dad, little brother, you are back!"

The family of four gathered and sat down one by one at the quaint stone table in the yard, ready to eat. The stone table was already filled with a dazzling array of dishes, and the tempting aroma wafted through the air, making everyone salivate.

"Wow, you know what, Lin's cooking skills are getting better and better." Shen Shaodong praised with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the dishes on the table one by one.

Shen Li also nodded continuously, her face full of surprise. She said with a smile: "That's right, she has copied all the recipes I taught Lin before. Her cooking skills are really amazing."

As she spoke, Shen Li's eyes were immediately attracted by the plate of tempting roast duck on the table. Her eyes instantly became bright, like two twinkling stars.

Looking at the table again, there are stewed potatoes that are soft, tasty and fragrant, stir-fried green lettuce that looks refreshing and delicious, braised pork that is shiny and mouth-watering, and stir-fried chicken that exudes a burnt aroma and makes you salivate.

The staple food was also prepared very carefully. The white rice was served in a bowl, emitting bursts of rice fragrance. The steamed buns in the steamer on the side were white and plump, and looked very soft.

At this time, Lin packed up the food boxes, bowed slightly to everyone at the table, and said with a smile: "Master, Madam, Master, Miss, we will go to the next yard to eat first. You guys take your time to eat."

After saying that, he picked up the food box, turned around and walked towards the next yard with several other servants.

The family looked at the table full of delicious food and prepared to enjoy the sumptuous meal in this warm courtyard, with laughter and joy spreading across the courtyard.
