Chapter 272 Zhajiang Noodles

When Li Anan was cooking lunch in the kitchen, An Xiaopang and Qin Sanlang were helping her. This was their old routine.

No one can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Everyone must participate in the labor. Even if they don't know how to do it, they must do something within their ability.

This was the first time that a habit was developed in Old Li's house.

Now there was no need for anyone to say anything specifically. As soon as they saw Li Anan walking towards the kitchen, An Xiaopang and Qin Sanlang followed her consciously.

Li Anan is the chef and the two of them are just helpers, they are capable of washing and cutting vegetables.

Even Qin Hong and Yun were pleased. They didn't expect that their sons had never cooked for them when they were old. Now they were eating food cooked by their grandchildren.

In response to this, Li Anan can only say, as long as you are happy.

If you don't try to fry it, it can be considered as doing it.

It was a coincidence that Li Anan had just finished frying the sauce, and An Xiaopang and Qin Sanlang had also cut the side dishes of cucumber and carrot shreds when they returned home.

It was the third sister-in-law Qian Qiaofeng. She took the children to Li Ergen's house during the day to chat with the sisters-in-law. She could let the children play together, and the sisters-in-law could also chat with each other and make clothes together.

"Hey, little sisters, are you at home?" Qian Qiaofeng also smelled the fragrance and went into the kitchen.

"Yeah, Third sister-in-law, why are you back? Are you alone?" Li Anan didn't hear the voices of her nephews and even stuck her head out to look outside.

"They are still playing at Second Aunt's house. I heard that something big happened at home, so I hurried back to take a look!" Qian Qiaofeng came straight in to get some water to drink. She ran back in a hurry because she was so thirsty.

"Third sister-in-law, have you heard about it at Second Aunt's house?" Li Anan didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. The villagers are really gossipy.

"Of course someone would go to Second Aunt's house to tell about such a big thing. I ran back as soon as I heard it. Where's mom?" Qian Qiaofeng drank a large bowl of water before she felt her breathing become even.

"Mom went to find Dad and said she wanted to worship her ancestors. I guess she went to the elders' home or the ancestral hall." Li Anan was not too sure, but there were probably only a few places.

"Okay, I'll go look for mom. My eldest and second sisters-in-law are not at home, so I have to help my parents." Qian Qiaofeng understood what she was doing when she heard it, and she put down the bowl and went out.

Everyone in the family is busy with their own work. At present, she is the only one who usually takes care of the children at home. Now that the child is with her sister-in-law, she can go and help her parents-in-law.

Seeing that the third sister-in-law, the most quiet one in the Li family, was also in a hurry, the three of them looked at each other.

Well, in the end, it was just the three of them having lunch.

The noodles are hand-rolled noodles made by Li Anan. Now that the Li family is better off, this kind of white flour is always on hand.

It’s just that Li Anan’s hands are not strong enough, so Qin Sanlang is the one who does the kneading of the dough.

Among the three little ones, he practices the hardest and has the greatest strength.

Li Anan and An Xiaopang are two weaklings who can only perform a few fancy moves.

"It smells so good, I can't help it!" As soon as An Xiaopang smelled the aroma of the sauce, he couldn't wait to eat it.

"Hey, hey, hey, wait, it's not served yet." Li Anan quickly stopped him. It wasn't even out of the pot yet.

Li Anan scooped out all the fried sauce and left a separate portion for her parents.

Then another person scooped three spoonfuls into the large bowl that already contained the noodles.

The noodles are rinsed with cold water after cooking, which makes them more chewy.

The red sauce forms a sharp contrast with the noodles, and the shredded cucumber and carrots make it a visual feast.

There is a small dining table in the kitchen, which was specially made by Boss Li and placed in the kitchen so that it would be more comfortable to have a simple meal alone in the kitchen.

The three of them directly brought the bowls of noodles to the small table and placed two small pickles on it.

Fat An is not as anxious as before, but he is still ready to try.

"Eat, eat!" Before Li An'an finished speaking, An Xiaopang's chopsticks were flying. The noodles were very chewy, and paired with the fragrant meat sauce, it was enough to make you want to bury your face in the bowl.

For a moment, the only sounds in the kitchen were the three of them slurping noodles, and they had no time to talk.

When eating this kind of noodles, even Qin Sanlang didn't care about etiquette.

Anyway, there is no one here now, so it doesn’t matter if we eat a little more lavishly.

Li Anan has been able to control the three people's appetite very well. A bowl of noodles is just enough and they can all be full.

"I feel like I haven't had this for a long time. It feels so good." An Xiaopang leaned back habitually. Fortunately, the stool had a small backrest so he didn't fall headfirst.

"You say this every day when you eat." Qin Sanlang is not immune to this foodie, and he can't help but complain every time he hears his sigh.

Unfortunately, An Xiaopang didn't care about his sharp tongue at all and had long been used to it.

"I don't know where my parents have gone. It seems they are really happy about what happened today." Seeing that they had finished their meal and his parents had not returned yet, Li Anan couldn't help but mutter.

"Such a big thing will definitely alarm the entire Li family. They must have discussed it with the elders. I estimate that someone from your maternal family will come soon." Qin Sanlang had some guesses.

After all, there are more than just this branch of the Li family in Taohua Village, and this kind of event that honors the entire family must be celebrated with great fanfare.

"Let's go back and read in the afternoon. I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher." Li Anan thought about it and decided that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so she might as well study.

I think after this morning, Qin's house should be quiet.

"Ah, why should I go back to do my homework? I want to sleep so much." When An Xiaopang heard this suggestion, he reflexively wanted to refuse.

Unfortunately, Li Anan and Qin Sanlang didn't give him any chance to refuse.

"Okay, let's go back and read." Qin Sanlang had no objection to Li Anan's suggestion.

"Oh, we can go back and take a nap. You don't want to not finish your homework and be punished more by the teacher, right?" Li Anan stood up and started to clean up the dishes.

An Xiaopang is easy to coax. He also knows that it is useless to oppose, and the minority must obey the majority.

The two of them consciously helped her clean up the dishes, and soon the kitchen was clean.

Until they left, no one from the Li family returned.

Just walking into the village, you can feel the lively atmosphere.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and they looked joyful.

Everyone was in a hurry and no one paid attention to the three children.

"It feels like the village is more lively than during the Chinese New Year." Fat An looked at what these people were going to do with curiosity.

"You talk as if you were celebrating New Year in the village." This time the person who was complaining was not Qin Sanlang, but Li Anan.

But she thought about it and felt that the New Year was not as lively as it is now.

The three of them looked at each other, afraid of being noticed.

After all, they were the instigator of this matter. If they were caught, they would definitely be praised endlessly.

To be honest, although they are very happy in their hearts, they will still feel shy when someone praises them in person.

I slipped along the roadside back to Qin's house, and sure enough, the place had become quiet.

Lao Luo was not at Qianmen either. After asking Si Xi, I found out that they had all gone to the town. After all, the rewards they brought from the capital were still in the town.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!
