Chapter 1045: Chapter 1026: White Porridge with Flower Rolls Chapter 1045: Chapter 1026: White Porridge with Flower Rolls Gu Ning sat down at the desk and also opened her own notebook to start busying herself with work.

As for Tang Yuxin, though she was tired, she didn’t fall asleep; instead, she lay on the bed, picked up a small book, and began to read.

Everything that was to be shopped for had been mostly accomplished three days before, and it was now time for a mid-break.

She said it was a mid-break, and that meant it was a mid-break, absolutely no going out.

Moreover, with her “old arm and old leg,” adding together two lifetimes, she was like a sixty-year-old grandmother and naturally couldn’t compare with the young people.

Although her body was still very young, her heart had begun to age.

No, that’s not right; why was she being so artistic about it?

It wasn’t about being old; it was about maturity, a maturity that exceeded that of ordinary people by quite a bit.

She tore open a packet of snacks and tossed one into her mouth; it was a local specialty that wasn’t sold in Beijing because of regional differences.

She would taste them first and, if they were good, she’d buy more to take home to her children.

Today, it seemed her luck wasn’t half bad as she randomly picked out a packet that was pretty tasty.

After having a few bites, she opened another packet; this one was not bad either, very much to her taste, and the children in her family, including Tang Xincheng, had similar preferences to hers.

If she liked it, they definitely wouldn’t dislike it.

Tang Yuxin sat up, then ran into the room where the snacks were stored and took out a few more packets of the same variety.

She went to the kitchen to get a plate and poured all the snacks onto it.

Only then did she bring the plate over to Gu Ning’s desk, set it down, and shortly after, made a cup of green tea for him.

“These aren’t salty or sweet, but they taste good; they’re reasonable for whiling away the time,” she said.

“Is that so?

I’ll try some,” replied Gu Ning, unceremoniously grabbing one and tossing it into his mouth.

“Hmm, not bad,” he said.

“Then we’ll buy more tonight.”
Tang Yuxin made up her mind; they definitely needed to buy more of these.

Since they didn’t have to carry their own luggage, it wouldn’t hurt to stock up.

She planned to take a good amount back for the children as little treats.

Even though she didn’t allow the children to consume too much of such things, they were still children, and not letting them have any would be a disservice to their childhood.

She wasn’t a strictly disciplinary mom, but dealt with the matter from a doctor’s perspective.

Her profession was one thing, but her final attitude was another; she would still allow her children snacks.

As long as it wasn’t excessive, it was fine.

Of course, the little ones needed to be won over.

And her children were the easiest to please.

A cartoon, a snack.

With these two things, they simply couldn’t help but be well-behaved.

It wasn’t as though they were ignorant of who their mother was, nor the experiences she’d had, which were not something ordinary people could boast of.

Others might be foxes, but she was a vixen, one who had lived a whole lifetime more than anyone else.

Gu Ning pinched another piece and said, “Hmm, we can buy more of this,” even he liked it, which meant there was quite a demand.

After all, if they counted it out, they still had about ten days of holidays left, and if it rained or the weather turned bad, they might have to spend even more time indoors.

If they could only stay indoors, these snacks would really come in handyaEUR”they couldn’t just sit around staring at each other every day.

“I’ll go try a few more packs,” Tang Yuxin said, then ran back into the snack room, picking out several packs she hadn’t tried before.

She didn’t buy the ones she had already tastedaEUR”only the new ones, thinking if they were tasty, she could add a few more to their haul.

If not, there was no need to buy them again.

Come evening, Tang Yuxin boiled some plain porridge in the kitchen and made some scallion pancakes.

However, it seemed they had forgotten to buy vegetables, so they could only eat plain porridge with rolls.

“We forgot to buy vegetables.”
Gu Ning took a roll, brought it up to his mouth, and began eating.

The roll tasted quite goodaEUR”the seasoning he bought was plentiful, but unfortunately, he really had forgotten the vegetables.

“No matter, it’s still delicious.”
Tang Yuxin also took a roll to eat, and even though there weren’t any vegetables, she still felt that the food she cooked was the best.

Especially the white porridge paired with the rollsaEUR”if there were a plate of pickles, it would be perfect.

Although it was a bit disappointing, both Gu Ning and she enjoyed the meal.

Therefore, even if there were exotic delicacies available outside, to the two of them, nothing was quite as tasty as a bowl of homemade white porridge.

After finishing the meal, Gu Ning took Tang Yuxin to the large supermarket they had visited that morning, to buy the items they hadn’t finished purchasingaEUR”of course, more vegetables, and if they were to continue eating all three meals at home, they would need a lot of them, including a good amount of meat as well.

They still divided the tasks: Tang Yuxin went to buy snacks while Gu Ning took care of the vegetables.

Gu Ning bought a large pile of vegetables and meat, whereas Tang Yuxin got snacks, some canned goods, another pack of water, and also a few boxes of milk.

“This will be for making porridge.”
Tang Yuxin frowned a little.

Although the porridge she made today tasted quite good, she had a feeling that something was off.

It wasn’t that the tap water here was unpleasant to drink, but in Tang Garden, the water used was drawn from underground and had been tested; it was of very high quality, so both adults and children could consume what they cooked with peace of mind.

Perhaps it was because she was accustomed to using water from homeaEUR”using the tap water here made Tang Yuxin feel a little strange.

“There’s no problem,” Gu Ning really felt Tang Yuxin was overthinking it, and these small packs might run out fast if used for cooking porridge, “I’ll go buy some large bottles of water.

One of those should last you several days.”
He didn’t really mind, having lived here before without such fussiness.

However, since Tang Yuxin felt uncomfortable, it was best to switch to purified water.

Pulling out his phone, Gu Ning called a friend to find out if there was a water delivery service nearby to stock up for Tang Yuxin.

She could use it even for washing her face or brushing her teeth.

Hearing this, Tang Yuxin made another trip to the supermarket and came back with a cart full of items.

By the time they finished their shopping, it was almost getting close to 10 o’clock.

Although the place they were staying was a popular tourist spot and close to the sea, it had its downsides too,
