Chapter 45 Loves to Eat Pig Intestines!
Zhao Xiaowu was glared at by his mother. He scratched the back of his head helplessly. Oh no, he seemed to have gotten himself into trouble.

"It's not mealtime, what are you doing here? Go out and have some fun!"

Li Hongying yelled, and the six children instinctively backed away, retreating to the front door, their eyes fixed on the kitchen.

"These good-for-nothings, have they never eaten meat before? Their noses are as sharp as dogs'!"

The last shout scared all the children away, with Zhao Xiaowu still running in the lead.

"Brother Xiaowu, are your mom and that pretty auntie cooking something delicious at home?"

A chubby little boy gazed longingly in the direction of Ji Sisi's house, "It smells so good, so good. This is the first time I've ever smelled anything that smells so good."

Zhao Xiaowu's mouth was watering uncontrollably, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

But if he were to go back now with his men, his mother would skin him alive!

"Me too, it smells even better than meat!"

Seeing his friends making a fuss, Zhao Xiaowu just wanted to get rid of them and go home alone, hoping that Aunt Ji might give him some good food.

Zhao Xiaowu licked his lips and ran back, saying, "You guys play by yourselves, I need to go back and help my mom with the chores."

Since bringing people would get him beaten up, he might as well go back and eat something delicious!
The remaining five little ones puffed up with anger. Zhao Xiaowu, that traitor! What happened to sharing both the hardships and the joys?

Just as Zhao Xiaowu reached Ji Sisi's door, a new fragrance filled the air, completely different from the previous oily aroma. This time, it was a faint medicinal scent mixed with the aroma of meat, creating a unique scent.

Zhao Xiaowu's short legs made him run even faster.

"Aunt Ji! I've come to help you with the chores!"

Zhao Xiaowu rushed into the kitchen and was instantly surrounded by the aroma. He happily took a deep breath of the fragrance.

Ji Sisi, suppressing a laugh, had just taken the braised pork intestines out to cool when she said, "Xiao Wu, can you help me throw the stones out of the yard? We'll eat when the food is ready."

There were many pebbles in the yard, which she had previously just piled up in the soil and left unattended. However, the apple seedlings she had been cultivating a few days ago have already sprouted and will be ready for transplanting in a few more days.

Zhao Xiaowu darted away like a rabbit.

Ji Sisi followed his gaze and was surprised to find several little kids at the door, looking at Zhao Xiaowu with envy.

Following Ji Sisi's gaze, Li Hongying also saw a group of little ones, and she frowned again.

“The kids can’t eat that much either. Five pounds is too much for the four of us to finish in the next couple of days.”

Ji Sisi couldn't bear it in the end and pulled Li Hongying back.

There were still many stones in the yard, and Zhao Xiaowu couldn't move them all by himself, so she decided to hire a few child laborers and pay them with pork intestines.

Ji Sisi walked up to the little boy, squatted down and said a few words. The children rushed to the yard and started moving stones.

Zhang Shufang stood at the door and called Bai Xiaoya's name several times, but no one answered.

She gradually started to panic and hurriedly walked out, where she bumped into two other people.

Has your dog, Gou Dan, come back yet?

"Has Little Girl gone home?"

"Has Tiezhu gone home for dinner?"

The three were stunned, and then three screams rang out.

Tie Zhu's mother's face changed, and she cried, "Sister Shu Fen, could the children have been abducted? What are we going to do? My Tie Zhu is usually the best boy; he always comes home at mealtimes!"

Zhang Shufang interrupted, "The children are definitely fine. They were just a little late coming back. What are you whining about? Shut up and stop crying!"

“These three kids usually play together. They probably got a little wild today. They often go to the other side of the street to play with other kids. Let’s go over there and look for them.” The three of them asked their way to Ji Sisi’s neighborhood.

"Can you smell something? It's not like flower-picking powder, is it? I heard the powder used for flower-picking smells amazing, and it knocks people unconscious as soon as they smell it..."

Zhang Shufang slapped Tiezhu's mother's arm impatiently, "Shut up and stop talking nonsense. This is clearly the smell of meat. How could you, with your dog brain, think it's on a beggar?"

As she said this, Zhang Shufang couldn't help but feel flustered.

Another person suggested, "It seems to have come from Sisi's house. Since we're already here, why don't we go ask Sisi if she's seen the child? She's the only person we know here."

The door to Ji Sisi's house was wide open. Zhang Shufang was about to call for help when she was shocked by what she saw inside.

The other two were also so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Ji Sisi was surrounded by a group of little kids, who were engrossed in eating, their mouths covered in rice grains, and they just couldn't stop.

"Sister Shufen, are you abusing Xiaoya at home?"

"Shut up! Your Tiezhu eats just as much as my Xiaoya. He's shoveling food so fast with his chopsticks, I'm afraid he'll make Gou Dan next to him catch a cold!"

"..."

Three angry roars then rang out from Ji Sisi's courtyard, and three people rushed forward and grabbed their children by the collars.

"Sisi, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

Bai Xiaoya, Gou Dan, and Tie Zhu all lowered their heads, not daring to look at anyone.

"Sisi, I'm so sorry to have troubled you. I never expected that this brat would come to your house for dinner."

Tiezhu's mother twisted Tiezhu's ear and said, "Do I need you to eat or drink? You want to eat at someone else's house!"

"The children helped me with the work, so it's only right that I treat them to something nice. Please don't blame them, sisters-in-law. The food isn't anything expensive, just the pig intestines I bought this morning," Ji Sisi explained as she stood up, adding a smile as she described the dishes.

She looked at the three children, whose mouths were covered in oil from eating, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

The three little ones didn't dare to speak, but nodded repeatedly.

"You're saying these two dishes are made from pig intestines?"

Zhang Shufen stared in astonishment at the two dishes on the table, unable to look away. How could this fragrant stuff be pig intestines?

The other two were also surprised, recalling how they had mocked Ji Sisi in the car that morning for not knowing anything about goods and wasting money on pig intestines.

The three of them felt their faces burning, as if they had been slapped in the face without their knowledge. They grabbed the child, said a few words, and hurriedly left.

Tie Zhu's mother was skeptical. "Shu Fen, do you think that's really pig intestines? It doesn't look like it to me; the color is wrong."

"It's pig intestines. Aunt Ji told us that pig intestines are delicious, they're chewy and even tastier than meat!"

"You brat, do you even know what's inside pig intestines?"

"I don't know! But I like pig intestines. Mom, why don't you buy some pig intestines to eat too?"

As soon as Bai Xiaoya finished speaking, Gou Dan and Tie Zhu chimed in, and the three children all clamored to eat pig intestines.

Zhang Shufang and the other two were hoarse and unable to speak.
-
There was a pound of braised pork intestines left. Ji Sisi gave half to Li Hongying, and planned to cook noodles with the other half tomorrow.

As the temperature rises, it becomes difficult to store cooked food. Ji Sisi took the leftover pork intestines to her space and put them in the refrigerator.

Ji Sisi sat at her desk, took out the newspaper she had bought that day, and prepared to study late into the night to prepare for tomorrow's exam.
