Chapter 37 -37: Moisturizing Cream

“Xiaoyun wants to go, so we’ll all go together.” Xia Yuan saw Lu Yun’s anxious little face turn red and couldn’t help but chuckle as she pinched her cheek, “But once we’re really there, you are not allowed to cry and want to come back, okay?”

Yay!

“I won’t cry and ask to come back.”

Lu Yun immediately bounced up, pounced, and grabbed onto her mother’s thighs, pulling at her skirt hem, and then, when she bent down, Lu Yun firmly planted a searing wet kiss on each of her cheeks.

“Mommy, I love you.”

Xia Yuan, with her cheeks in her hands, looked at Lu Yun, who had already turned and run away, her face filled with happiness and emotion.

“Mommy loves you too.”

When Lu Aiguo and Shitou returned with their hoes over their shoulders, from afar they could see Lu Yun eagerly standing at the gate looking out.

“My girl, why have you run to the gate today?” As he neared, Lu Aiguo asked with a smile, “What are you looking at with such eagerness?”

“Daddy, did Mommy say that you’ve decided, and we’re going to Haicheng together?” Lu Yun asked again, full of hope.

“Yeah, how come I can’t keep anything from you, and you, this little ‘Whispering God,’ found out so quickly?” Lu Aiguo was surprised at Lu Yun’s quick grasp of information.

“Xiaoyun, do you want to go? Haicheng is very big, much bigger than our village, and a lot more interesting too.”

“Of course I want to go.” Lu Yun nodded eagerly, getting confirmation again from her father’s mouth, and she could finally settle down.

“You all should hurry up and wash your hands to come eat, standing at the gate talking about what?” Xia Yuan called from under the eaves at the entrance of the hall, “This child, I don’t know what’s gotten into her, she’s been thinking about this since early morning.”

Lu Aiguo and Lu Yun looked at each other and smiled, “Let’s go, don’t let your mother rush us,” Lu Aiguo said.

The breakfast was quite lavish: snake meat porridge, chive pancakes, sauce beef, marinated okra, sweet and sour cabbage.

Finally, there was also a bowl of stewed eggs for each person, the eggs were so tender they were like tofu, each one topped with a big spoonful of gravy with minced meat, soy sauce, and chopped spring onions, which looked quite tempting and appetizing.

Of course, most of these dishes came from Lu Yun’s “big warehouse.”

Under Lu Yun’s persuasion, Xia Yuan had even put some perishable items directly into her space for “fresh-keeping.”

The one-bowl-per-person stewed eggs were simply because Xia Yuan feared a repeat of the scene from the last morning where the dishes were pushed around the table, so she decided that one bowl of stewed eggs per person would save trouble. Indeed, before the meal, Xia Yuan announced, “Everyone gets one bowl of stewed eggs, and no one is allowed to leave any.”

Lu Aiguo clearly understood what it was about and couldn’t help but smile sheepishly, his heart, however, was sweet as honey, still his wife knew best to be concerned about him.

Xia Yuan glanced at him, “Don’t you offer any excuses not to eat, you’re a grown man and you should set a good example.”

Lu Yun hid on the side, snickering as she ate.

“Wife, I promise to complete the mission.” Lu Aiguo raised his hand to his ear, playfully shouting aloud.

“Pfft.” Xia Yuan laughed, her face radiant and charming as a blooming peach, “If you don’t finish, I’ll make you eat double at lunch, and the same goes for Shitou.”

“Hmm.” Shitou nodded slightly, awkwardly tugging at the corners of his mouth to offer Xia Yuan a smile.

“Wife, are we really eating this many dishes early in the morning?” While sipping on snake meat porridge, Lu Aiguo grabbed a piece of leek pancake and took a bite, asking Xia Yuan somewhat unaccustomedly.

“Your daughter said something about ‘Emperor’s breakfast, minister’s lunch, beggar’s dinner.’ I don’t know where she learned that from, but she insisted on cooking so much. Most of the meat and vegetables also came from her large storehouse.”

Helplessly looking at Lu Yun, Xia Yuan added, “She even insisted that I cook extra so she can store it in her large warehouse, claiming it will still be piping hot when taken out later. Says if she ever doesn’t want to cook, she’ll just take it out and eat it.”

“That’s not a bad idea. From now on, we could just cook once a day, enough for the whole day, and you’ll have less work to do,” Lu Aiguo nodded in approval with a cheerful grin, quite willing to make things easier for his wife.

“How can that be okay? You’re already not letting me do farm work, and if I skimp on cooking too, what else would I have to do? There are only a few chickens to take care of at home, I’m already idle enough as it is. If others see no smoke coming from our house, who knows what they’ll say behind my back?”

Xia Yuan gave Lu Aiguo a look.

“Suit yourself, as long as you’re happy. We live our life for ourselves, not for others to see,” Lu Aiguo said with an amused smile, unable to persuade her otherwise.

“Mom, even if we don’t do it every day, it’s okay to take a break once in a while. Not working in the fields, just doing housework can be very tiring, you know?”

Lu Yun looked at her mother’s face which was still decent to look at, thanks to her youth and naturally good skin, but without proper care, it wouldn’t take long before it aged rapidly.

Fortunately, what she had hoarded the most in her past life was moisturizer. Depending on the price, the level of effectiveness varied significantly.

She took out a bottle of premium moisturizer and pushed it towards her mother. This moisturizer had fetched sky-high prices in her previous life, and even with an annual limitation of a thousand bottles and only available to diamond-level VIPs, it would sell out in less than ten minutes each time, raking in a significant amount of money for her. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

There was a reason for such a high demand; every skincare product she sold came with an absolute quality guarantee. Not only did it work quickly upon first use, but it was also genuinely improving skin quality. Even after stopping use, there wouldn’t be any relapse.

It wasn’t like some brands that added a mishmash of banned substances, achieving beauty at the cost of the skin’s vitality.

“Mom, you should use this cream on your face, erm, actually, it can also be applied to the body. I have plenty of it, and you should remember to use it. Otherwise, if your skin gets bad, you’ll look old,” Lu Yun seriously scared Xia Yuan into using it.

“Am I very old?” Xia Yuan picked up the jar of moisturizer, marveling at the small crystal jar filled with a translucent, light green cream that shone with a gleaming luster.

“How beautiful! This jar is just as pretty as crystal,” Xia Yuan exclaimed, unable to put it down and even forgetting about her meal. Most women naturally loved exquisite things and couldn’t resist them.

That was actually crystal, though?

Lu Yun just smiled without pointing it out. She contentedly sipped some more snake meat porridge, casually changing the subject, “Mom, I heard snake meat is highly nourishing and can strengthen the body and bones, even prolonging life, is that true?”

After saying this, she glanced in Shitou’s direction, who instantly got the hint. His hand paused as he lifted his porridge bowl, then he took a big gulp.

“Mm, it should be, right?”

Xia Yuan wasn’t sure, thinking that Lu Yun had probably heard someone say that while playing outside. She agreed with the idea, but felt that children shouldn’t eat too much of it, so she told her, “Don’t eat too much since you’re still young, over-nourishing isn’t good either. Let your father and Shitou eat more, and you can try something else.”

“Mm. Mom should eat more, too.”

Lu Yun obediently nodded, grabbed a piece of leek pancake with a bite, finding it especially delicious because her mother made it, and the generous amount of oil made it even more appealing.
