Jiang Xia crossed her arms and propped up her chin, coaxing Jiang Gu in a gentle manner, “Xiao Gu, mom cherishes you most on ordinary days. Today, our parents are busy with important matters. When they come back in the evening, they’ll be so tired. Can you bear to see Mom so exhausted and still have to cook for us?”

Jiang Gu first caught a crucial piece of information, “Mom cherishes her the most every day.”

This news made Jiang Gu feel a bit elated. Past experiences made her yearn even more for her mother’s love. After Zhou Lan’s arrival, she had always showered affection on Jiang Gu. But it couldn’t make up for the lack of maternal love in Jiang Gu’s heart. Therefore, hearing Jiang Xia’s words was like a calming pill for Jiang Gu, making her realize that she truly was cherished. She couldn’t help but feel joyous.

Thinking of how much her mother loved her and how hard she worked every day, only to come back and cook dinner, Jiang Gu’s heart ached. Of course, she wouldn’t want her mother to cook.

The naive little Jiang Gu was thus persuaded by Jiang Xia, hesitatingly asking, “Then, Second Sister, how should we help Mom share some of the household chores?”

Jiang Xia felt a triumphant thrill in her heart, thinking to herself that kids are indeed easy to deceive. She patted Jiang Gu’s shoulder and said, “Of course, we should prepare a sumptuous dinner for her.”

Jiang Gu hesitated again, “But we’re just kids. Do we know how to cook?”

Jiang Xia puffed up her chest confidently, “You might not know how, but your Second Sister does! The food I make is delicious. 1 just haven’t had the chance to cook before. Today is a rare opportunity, and I must show you my culinary skills.”

Jiang Gu’s eyes widened, looking at Jiang Xia with admiration, as if being able to cook was the most impressive thing in the world.

Jiang Xia took out some ribs from her interspace realm, along with green onions, ginger, and garlic. She then plucked a potato from the space’s vegetable patch and placed them all in a basket.

Jiang Gu, looking puzzled at the ribs which had barely any meat and were half bone, asked in confusion, “Second Sister, why did you buy ribs? There’s hardly any meat on them. Usually, Grandma would exchange these ribs for vegetables at the supply store. Why did you specifically buy them?”

Jiang Xia thought to herself, ‘It’s because you don’t understand the deliciousness of ribs. That’s why you treat such a delicacy as if it’s of no real value.’ She pointed at the ribs and other ingredients, explaining, “It’s because you’ve never tasted delicious braised ribs. The flavor of these ribs is way better than ordinary pork. And gnawing on a meaty bone is delightful. Imagine a bone drenched in savory sauce, exuding an enticing aroma. As you bite into the meat, you can also suck the juice from the bone. Isn’t that more delicious than just eating plain meat? Wait until 1 cook it tonight. Once you taste it, I guarantee you’ll want it again!”

By now, Jiang Gu’s mouth was watering, and she eagerly wanted Jiang Xia to hurry up with the cooking so she could sample the dish.

Seeing Jiang Gu’s eager expression, Jiang Xia grinned and playfully ruffled her hair, “Silly girl, we need to wash the vegetables first. Let’s go to the river to wash them. After that, you can start the fire and I’ll cook. Then we’ll surprise Mom and Dad with the meal. How about that?”

“Sounds great!” Jiang Gu clapped her small hands with excitement.

Holding Jiang Gu’s hand and carrying the vegetable basket in the other, Jiang Xia headed towards the riverbank. Along the way, she mused to herself, ‘This little girl is so easy to deceive. I hope she won’t be so gullible in the future.’

When they arrived at the river, a group of children was playing nearby. Some girls were washing clothes and vegetables, while a few boys were catching cicadas and looking for shed cicada skins. The place was bustling with activity.

Jiang Xia wasn’t a fan of bustling scenes. Given her maturity, she was past the age of enjoying such playfulness. However, considering that Jiang Gu’s friends, like Xiao Pang, were among the group, she still led Jiang Gu closer. They chose a clean spot at the edge of the group and squatted down to wash their vegetables.

Just as Jiang Xia took out a potato, she heard a discordant, mocking voice, “Well, if it isn’t the two Jiang sisters.. With your parents climbing the social ladder through connections, aren’t you ashamed to show your faces here at the riverbank?”
