Chen Beiguo wasn't very sophisticated; he didn't know much about life's finer things.
In this era, just getting enough to eat was hard. Even with a pot of wild vegetable congee, you couldn't eat your fill. Who had the leisure to ponder its flavor?

Leng Yuan was also enjoying his meal.
In the second branch of the Leng Family, Sun Yeshu wasn't working because she was pregnant.
She hadn't worked much back at the Sun family's home, either. Having married into the large Leng Family and gotten pregnant so soon after, her mother-in-law was pleased and excused her from work. Her only responsibility was cooking lunch.
The Leng Family house had been built by Leng Yuan's father. It was located near the western entrance of the village, with neighbors on both sides and across from them.
