The two children made up happily under Tong Huaqiong's guidance.
Tong Huaqiong and Mrs. Hong took the three children home and swiftly started a fire to cook corn.
Mrs. Hong washed the corn in the yard, while Tong Huaqiong lit the fire.
When she first became Tong Dajiao, Tong Huaqiong didn't know how to light a fire. As someone at the top of the household's food chain, she didn't have to do it herself.
Later, when she started making pastries, she learned how to light a fire.
Now, using a wood-fired stove is no problem for her.
And truly, food cooked with a countryside wood-fired stove is full of flavor; it's just so fragrant.
After Mrs. Hong finished washing the corn, she brought it inside and poured it into the pot. Then she sat in front of the stove, passing firewood to Tong Huaqiong and chatting with her.
They discussed how to arrange the yard after it was built and planned to create a chicken coop and a vegetable garden, just like Tong Huaqiong.
