    Su Wenwu followed his sisters request and cut all the vegetables and things needed for the vegetable balls into the basin.


    Su Binn said, “You did a good job, Third Brother. Stir it a little more.”


    She began seasoning the ingredients as Su Wenwu stirred them together. Afterward, she continued stirring them.


    At that time, Su Fengmao had already heated the pot. “I’ve heated the pot, Binn. Should we add oil now?


    Su Binn nodded. “Yes, Father. You can add oil now.”


    Su Fengmao took out a barrel of oil and poured it into the pot.


    Su Binn noticed her father’s posture and hurriedly stopped him, saying, “There’s no need for so much oil, Father. Just a little will do. Here, let me handle it.”


    Su Fengmao handed the oil barrel to his daughter and said, “Don’t be frugal,


    Daughter. We made that oil from peanuts, so we’ll have enough tost a year. We should have enough. We can also buy more oil, even if we don’t.”


    The family was well-off and was willing to use more oil.


    Su Wenwu noticed his father’s reaction and the corner of his mouth twitched. In the past, Su Fengmao would not even be willing to use a drop of oil for the vegetables. Su Wenwu remembered it like it was yesterday.


    When he was a child, the family would have a delicious meal if there were even a drop of oil in it. He became emotional when he thought about what they were eating now.


    Su Wenwu still thought this was not real. ‘They made that oil from peanuts?’


    Su Binn took the barrel and poured the oil into the pot. Then she put some meatballs into it. She turned them repeatedly when they turned brown on one side. Afterward, she removed the balls from the oil.


    After the color of the explosion changed, Su Binn took it out again.


    “They smell so good!” Su Wenwu smelled the fragrance and gulped his saliva.


    Su Wenwu worked harder. Even though he overate, he would get hungry again quickly.


    Su Binn looked at her third brother and found it funny. “Third brother, go and get some chopsticks. You can try the meatballs first. Let Father, Mother, and Second Brother have a taste too.”


    Su Wenwu did not argue and used his chopsticks to pick up the meatballs.


    However, he knew to give them to his parents first.


    Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “You can eat first. Don’t worry about me since we’ll eat soon too. Don’t forget your sister.”


    Su Wenwu picked up the meatballs and handed them to Su Binn. Su Binn shook her head and said, “Third brother, you can just eat. We’re a family, so you don’t have to feel shy.”


    Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu prepared to taste the meatballs. Su Wenwu took a big bite and said, “Ah! It’s still hot!”


    The meatball had juste out of the pot and was still hot to the touch, so he spun on the ground as his mouth whistled. Soon after, the meatball cooled down, and he began to chew.


    Su Binn looked at her third brother’s expression and asked, “How does it taste, Third Brother?”


    Although she was confident in her culinary skills, she still wanted to know what her family thought. Su Wenwu’s eyes lit up as he kept nodding, “It’s so delicious!


    He was still chewing on the meatball as he spoke, looking like he was enjoying himself. Everyoneughed when they saw him like that.


    “It seems like it’s truly delicious. We can also make more meatballs and vegetable meatballs next time.”


    Su Binn was more willing to cook because her family liked eating her dishes. Still, it was best to eat alongside everyone, as eating alone would make the food feel tasteless, no matter how good the cook was.


    Su Binn liked eating together as a family. After frying everything, she made tofu soup again. Everyone ate steamed buns and meatballs and then drank some soup. They all ate enthusiastically.


    Su Wenxiu could not help but eat a lot more than the others. He ate until his stomach was full. “Ah, that was so delicious! Especially the meatballs.”


    Su Binn said, “You must season the ingredients well whenever you cook. That’s the secret to good food.”


    Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu nodded simultaneously. Indeed, they followed their sister’s instructions when they cooked, but their seasoning stillcked control.


    However, Su Binn always knew what to do and could make her food tasty.


    Su Fengmao liked eating spicy food. He thought the meatballs were delicious, but he liked dipping them in chili.


    Su Binn prepared the chili for him and ced it on the table. Su Fengmao dipped the meatballs into the chili and ate them. He thought they were equally delicious.


    Su Wenwu also ate until he was full. “I get sleepy whenever I’m full.”


    Su Wenxiu also felt sleepy, saying, “Me too. I’m always so energetic before eating but sleepy when I’m full.”


    Su Binn looked at the two and said, “Wenxiu, Wenwu, take a break at noon.”


    The new house’s main hall had a huge brick tform, and everyone could rest on it. There were alsorge round tables in the new house, so more people could sit around them and eat whenever they gathered.


    Su Wenxiu looked at his sister and said, “Aren’t you going to rest too, Sister?”


    Su Binn shook her head. “I’m not sleepy. I still have to go to the mountain and pick soybeans.”


    Su Wenxiu hurriedly responded, “I need to go to Hundred Herb Hospital to study.”


    His sister was hard-working, so he knew he could not ck off.


    “Aren’t you sleepy, Second Brother? Don’t you want to rest?”


    “No, I was just saying that but I feel refreshed already,” Su Wenxiu walked toward the courtyard and felt refreshed when the wind blew, so how could he still feel sleepy?


    Su Wenwu got down from the brick tform and said, “Let’s go to the mountain to pick soybeans together.”


    One could not forget one’s roots, and one could not ck off just because one’s living conditions had improved. Su Wenwu always knew to remember how he lived before, so he treasured the life he had now even more.


    He dared not ck off because he feared returning to how he lived before. He had to work hard to make life at home better.


    After cleaning up the dishes, Su Binn and her family carried big baskets on their backs and pushed a small cart to the mountain. It was just as Su Binn had expected. Many soybeans had grown in the back of the mountain.


    It was probably because the soybeans would fall to the ground when they ripened and then regrow automatically. Moreover, thend was vast, and there was arge area of soybeans.


    Su Binn and the others began to pick soybeans, and everyone brought a lot of things with them, likerge sacks to put the soybeans. When the sacks got full, the family would put them into the small cart.


    They collected six sacks in total. The family hooked some sacks onto the cart while tying the rest with ropes. Then Su Fengmao would push the cart back. The family only returned with a full load when it was dark.


    When the four of them got home, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin returned with Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai. Then Su Wenxiu also returned from Hundred Herb Hospital.


    Su Wenzhe and his wife were still excited about their move to the new house.


    When they saw Su Fengmao pushing the heavy cart, the duo hurriedly went to


    Su Wenzhe quickly opened the door and helped his father push the cart into the house.. “Why are you pushing so much at once, Father? Aren’t you tired?”
