People often say that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is extremely difficult to go back to frugality once you get used to luxury.

"Alright, alright, my darlings, I will make you some delicious meat in a few days. Just bear with it for now and don't starve yourself."

When it comes to these two beloved ones, Xie Di cannot hit or scold them and can only comfort them with soft words.

But Yaozu and Yaozhu were very stubborn and insisted on eating meat. Wu's mother became impatient and finally had to compromise. She asked Xie Di to go into the kitchen to cook two eggs and give one to each of them as a consolation.

On the other side, Wu Yue's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud.

When the engagement was still unresolved, she still had a share of the eggs in the family. Now her mother simply ignored her existence. She couldn't help but wonder if she had lost her value in the eyes of her family. An indescribable sense of loss quietly crept into her heart.

Due to a sudden humiliation, the members of the Gu family huddled at home in shame that day, as if the world outside was filled with sharp words that could pierce their self-esteem at any time. They would rather stay within the four walls than step into that ocean of judgmental gazes.

The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled into Ran He's room. As time passed, her mood became peaceful and indifferent.

In her spare time, she took out several treasured prescriptions from that magical space and spread them out one by one, like the secret books of ancient doctors, exuding a faint herbal fragrance, which was intoxicating.

These prescriptions tell of an ancient wisdom of medicinal diet, which skillfully combines precious medicinal materials with nourishing tonic products into one, making them part of daily diet. Not only do they taste tempting, they also subtly nourish the human body, like a silent guardian.

Ran He's eyes moved among the exotic flowers and rare supplements listed on the prescriptions. Each one was priceless and awe-inspiring.

The names of these herbs are like ancient spells, chanting the health secrets exclusive to the rich and powerful.

In her simple understanding, those illnesses that require long-term care and weak constitution always seem to be accompanied by the shadow of a wealthy life.

But for people like Goudan's mother who live in poverty, such treatment is undoubtedly a luxury. Her tenacity may be able to support her for a while, but it cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Ran He thought to himself that if Goudan's mother was born in a well-off family, she would have more possibilities.

As soon as she thought about it, Ran He noticed the various medicinal herbs stored in the space. There were many precious herbs that could replace each other. This made her think, why not use local herbs and do some experiments? This would not only save costs, but also allow her to personally verify the effectiveness of these ancient wisdoms.

If successful, one day in the future, perhaps it can help more people in need.

Thus, time slipped away silently between her fingers as she was busy studying the prescription, until the afterglow of the setting sun quietly climbed up the window frame, reminding her that the day was about to end, and the children's laughter also drifted into the yard with the wind, heralding the arrival of dinner time.

Ran He carefully put away the prescription and walked into the kitchen where smoke was rising with ease, already having a plan for the dining table in his mind.

Thinking that her lunch was too greasy, she decided to have a light and nutritionally balanced dinner to make up for her daily hard work.

Under her skillful hands, the green vegetables were fried to be fresh, crisp and refreshing, while the Mapo Tofu was delicious, spicy but not dry, stimulating the taste buds just right.

The slippery meat soup is as its name suggests, with delicate meat and delicious soup. A bowl of it warms your stomach and heart.

Not to mention the grapes specially picked from the space, which are crystal clear and embellish the dining table like jewels after being washed. This is the most direct gift from nature and the result of Meng Meng's hard work.

"Mom, we're back!"

Accompanied by laughter and joy, the three children rushed into the house like a little whirlwind. A gentle smile bloomed on Ran He's face, and they were greeted by clean towels and a table full of warmth.

"Wash your hands first, then try the grapes that mother picked to see if they are sweet."

When the children heard this, their eyes sparkled with anticipation and they couldn't wait to grab the grapes to taste them. The sweet taste seemed to light up their eyes instantly and their happiness was beyond words.

Ran He also took a light bite of the grapes. The sweetness was mixed with a refreshing and natural coolness, which just neutralized the previous greasiness and left a lasting aftertaste.

"We will enjoy the grapes slowly after dinner. Let's eat first. We need to take a shower after we are full. Look at how dirty you all are after playing."

Her words were full of love and unquestionable determination. Even in the countryside, good hygiene habits have become an indispensable part of their lives.

"okay!"

The three little ones agreed in unison, their faces filled with the innocence and joy unique to children. The warmth and sweetness of home condensed at this moment, becoming the most precious treasure of this small family.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkled on the small village. The moment Zhu Cuihua stepped into the house, the aroma of the braised crayfish on Ran He's family's table was still lingering in her heart.

Those bright red and tempting crayfish are not only a feast for the taste buds, but also like a key, quietly opening a window in her heart about the family's financial well-being.

Zhu Cuihua knew very well that there was usually very little meat on the table. If she could turn these small creatures that roamed the fields into delicacies, it would undoubtedly be a great contribution to this poor family.

In the afternoon, the sunlight is mottled, and every item in the house seems to be shining with the light of hard work.

Zhu Cuihua did the housework skillfully and quickly, and she approached each task with a sense of urgency.

After completing the final wiping, she picked up the bamboo basket and hurried towards the small river beside the village. Behind her was her mother Zheng Yanhong's worried gaze, which showed both confusion and deep expectations for her daughter's future.

By the river, Zhu Cuihua was busy and determined, her fingers nimbly moving among the water plants, trying to catch those cunning crayfish.

However, as this was her first time catching crayfish, she obviously underestimated the defense of these small creatures. After a while, her fingertips were left with a series of red marks from the crayfish's claws. The pain was mixed with a stubborn smile.

She said softly to the most stubborn crayfish: "See who will be the dinner tonight!"

There is a sense of challenge in the words, but also infinite anticipation for the upcoming delicious food.

The sun slowly set in the west, and the basket was filled with harvest. Zhu Cuihua returned home with a full load.

When Zheng Yanhong saw her daughter carrying a basket of lively crayfish, a flash of surprise and confusion appeared in her eyes, followed by deep worry.

In her opinion, these creatures did not seem suitable to be food on her own dining table.

Faced with her mother's doubts, Zhu Cuihua confidently introduced her discovery at Ran He's house. Her expression seemed to have conveyed the deliciousness of braised crayfish to Zheng Yanhong.
