"Auntie Sanbo, you take a rest, I'll do the stir-frying," said Lian Manman, having washed her hands, as she went over to help Lady Zhao.
"Manman, you go rest in your room, don't get involved. I'll finish this bit of work in no time," Lady Zhao said with a smile.
"Manman, could you carry that tofu in first?" Lady Zhang said, pointing to a big bowl on the stove.
"Okay," Lian Manman cheerfully agreed.
Soon, Lady Zhang and Lady Zhao had all the dishes ready. A basin of crispy pastries glistening with oil, a large plate of spicy and sour shredded potatoes, a bowl of cold mixed tofu, a basin of pork bone with shredded radish soup, and finally, shredded mustard greens mixed with sesame oil, both salty and fragrant.
"Dad, Brother, time to eat," Lian Manman called out to Lian Shouxin and Xiao Qi, who were cleaning up in the store.
"Coming, coming," Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang replied.
