Gu Zi finished speaking and Su Li chuckled, “No, no, no, Mom won’t turn into a big turtle.”

Su Li was quickly appeased. He then hooked his pinky finger with Su Le’s, trying to disguise his feeling of jealousy.

Turning to him, Gu Zi said, “You not only need to teach Su Le to hook pinkies but also teach her to study! You’re her big brother.”

Su Li found the advice very logical. Looking at his elder brother Su Bing already engrossed in a book, he said, “Mom, I’ll start studying now. I’ll teach Su Le how to study in the future.”

Su Bing was amazed at how effective their mother was. When he used to encourage Su Li to study, it was a struggle. He never expected that with just a couple of words, Mom could sort it out.

During dinner, Gu Zi prepared egg vegetable pancakes, braised pork ribs, tofu in sauce, and also made a soup with winter melon greens.

She planned to make the remaining winter melon greens into a porridge tomorrow and take it in a small cart to the pig farm for everyone to share.

Winter melon greens, a native vegetable, had been cultivated widely since the Spring and Autumn Period.

They were known for their ability to clear heat, relieve cough, soothe the nerves, and promote bowel movements, offering certain heart and stomach-nourishing effects. However, excessive consumption could be hard on digestion, hence they were best used for soups and porridges.

Su Li looked hesitantly at the vegetable soup before him. Granny Chu used to frequently serve them winter melon green soup to save trouble; it filled their stomachs and wasn’t easy to get hungry afterward. Plus, any leftover soup could be used to cook noodles in the evening.

Su Bing noticed his brother’s unease, knowing he recalled unpleasant memories associated with the soup. He wasn’t particularly fond of winter melon greens either.

However, not wanting to disappoint their mother, Su Bing took the lead by taking a sip. Oddly enough, he found the winter melon green soup wasn’t as unpalatable as he remembered.

Following suit, Su Li also took a sip and even ate a piece of winter melon green leaf, smooth and not as distasteful as expected.

They exchanged a glance and continued sipping the soup.

It turned out they didn’t dislike eating winter melon greens; they carried a shadow from their past memories of it. Now, their mother had dispelled the darkness lingering in their hearts.
