Novel Bin Chapter 10 part2
Xia YuanQiu and her brother lost their parentsearly. They had one Dabo [father\'s elder brother, i.e. first uncle] and oneSanShu [father\'s younger brother, i.e. third uncle]. But they didn\'t havemoney. They even occasionally went over to Xia YuanQiu\'s house during harvesttime for free meals. The two thin children were really pitiful. How could therebe such shameless people?
It was not yet dark and YuanQiu was busily makingdinner. Sweet potato porridge was boiling in small medicine bottles on thesmall, clay stove. YuanHao was minding the fire. The big stove was stewingdried fish with ginger, onion, garlic, green and red peppers and, what XiaYuanQiu was reluctant to use before, sesame oil. The fragrance was incredible.
YuanHao started drooling at this tempting fragrance.He went over to the edge of the stove from time to time to take a deep breath,as if smelling it was the world\'s most beautiful thing.
Xia YuanQiu saw his greedy face and laugheduncontrollably. Fortunately, in order to not eat the oily, outside food in herprevious life, she taught herself good cooking skills. It came in handy heretoo.
"Oh…something smells delicious here."
An annoying voice suddenly came into the house. Thesiblings frowned.
DaboMu [Dabo\'s wife, i.e. first aunt] wouldn\'t comeif there were no matters. They feared it was nothing good from her coming thistime.
Née Lin came to the door of the simple kitchen. Thesmell of the pot wafted out and made her fiercely salivate. She squeezed out asmile, "YuanQiu, what delicious thing did you make? It\'s so fragrant." NéeLin\'s eyes stared greedily at the pot. It was a pity the lid was on and shecouldn\'t see anything.
