"Mom, I'm going to exchange some more eggs, okay? We can have scrambled eggs with wood ear mushrooms," Yuan Chun said as she returned to the house, grabbed a vegetable basket, and Wang Mu handed her some change, "Take this, for the next few days, you're in charge of buying groceries."
"Mom, I have money."
"Alright, you're building a house, and I don't have much to give you, but I can cover groceries with this small amount."
"Mom, you're the best."
Yuan Chun chuckled and put the money into her pocket.
After buying tofu, Yuan Chun walked around the Tiangou River. When she returned, there were a few fish over two pounds each in her vegetable basket.
Wang Mu's eyes widened when she saw the fish, "Yuan Chun, where did you get these fish? They're still alive."
"Mom, I took a stroll in the fields and happened upon a spot where some fish were trapped in a paddy trench. I scooped them up, just in time for lunch to make braised fish."
