Yu Heng took the lunch box and walked home. The things this Young Miss used were extraordinarily exquisite. The two layers of lunch boxes were incomparably thick and heavy, and the insulation effect was very good. No one disturbed him along the way. Yu Heng walked with big strides, and it only took him fifteen minutes to go back and forth.

When he arrived home, his younger siblings had already finished eating and Yu Xiang was still washing the dishes. Yu Heng looked into the living room but didn’t see Yi Ke. He thought for a moment and knocked on Yi Ke’s door with something.

“You’re here. Just leave the food on the table.” Yi Ke was lying on the bed reading a book. The signal in this place was intermittent, and the mobile game card was not good.

Yi Ke, who had been forced to hang up, took out the book she had brought and was still sighing at her own intelligence.

Yu Heng entered the room. He carefully walked around the snow-white carpet on the floor, afraid that he would dirty a piece and this young lady would ask for compensation. He placed the lunch box in his hand on the table and left, not looking at the room again.

Yu Xiang and Yu Yu also cleaned up the dishes and hygiene. The two of them laid their heads on the table and did their summer homework. Yu Heng looked at his brother and sister who were working hard and smiled. He took a fan from the side to fan them and casually picked up a book to read.

The evening was no longer as hot as in the afternoon, and there was a breeze blowing from time to time. The three of them went about their business in harmony.

Yu Heng also felt satisfied. Due to his father’s accident, he had been forced to leave the school and shoulder the burden of a family. It had been a long time since he had studied properly. He thought that the MIssy would definitely chew carefully and slowly when eating. It would definitely take a while for her to finish eating. He could urge his younger siblings to sleep first and help Yi Ke wash the dishes later.

Yu Heng was holding a language book. The textbook he casually flipped through was “Duck Egg at Dragon Boat Festival.” Yu Heng looked at the vivid description in the textbook and even felt that he could smell a faint fragrance that made him drool.

“It smells so good, Brother. What dish is Miss Yi eating?” Yu Yu was the first to lose his patience. The words he wrote turned into all kinds of delicious food and waved at him. Yu Yu swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help but look at Yi Ke’s room.

When Yu Xiang heard Yu Yu’s words, she couldn’t help but raise her head. The little girl was very sensible. She had left all the good things to her parents and had also learned to restrain her desires to not make things difficult for her brother. However, she was still a twelve-year-old child after all. It was inevitable that she would be gluttonous.

She looked at her brother eagerly, then lowered her head and continued to do her homework. She kept comforting herself: I’m not gluttonous, I’m not gluttonous.

Yu Heng was also sure that it wasn’t his imagination. It really smelled good. He thought of the exquisite lunch box he had carried all the way and the money that was stuffed in his hand. He closed his eyes. “Go to sleep. You won’t be able to smell it if you fall asleep.”

The chef that Yi Ke brought over was naturally skilled. Two lunch boxes contained a bowl of Eight Treasure Rice, two vegetables, two meat dishes, and a bowl of sweet soup made from osmanthus wine. All of them were Yi Ke’s favorites, and they looked, smelled, and tasted good.

Yi Ke’s stomach was already rumbling with hunger. Now that she saw these, her appetite increased even more. She picked up her chopsticks and ate heartily. The food was mixed by her, and the fragrance spread even further. Even Yi Shi, who was next door, could smell the fragrance.

Ever since she transmigrated into this novel, every meal was filled with sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbage, and tofu. Meat and fish could only be seen on major festivals. Although her family background was average before she transmigrated, she was not from a remote village and had eaten many good things. Moreover, her culinary skills were not bad. Now, she could guess the freshness of the ingredients just by smelling the fragrance of the food. This kind of thing could not be taken out by Yu Heng’s family. It was already considered good that his family kept eating food.

“Mother, did Brother Yu Heng’s family have some esteemed guest?” Yi Shi could not suppress her curiosity. She had gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables this morning and had only returned in the evening. She knew nothing about what had happened in the village and could only ask her mother.

“The young lady from the city moved into his house.” Yi Shi’s mother, Yang Wan, was a little uneasy. Yi Shi called her twice before she came back to her senses.

From the moment she heard that the Missy from the city had the surname Yi, she sensed that something was wrong.

When she was young, she was insensible and had an affair with a man surnamed Yi. Later, she was discovered by the man’s wife and asked her out for a chat. Only then did she realize how difficult it was to cross the class gap.

Madam Yi was elegant and noble. She only asked her out to persuade her to think things through. Some people were too powerful for her. After that conversation, she hurriedly returned to the village. Not long after, she found out that she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter.

At that time, Yang Wan told the villagers that the child’s father was working outside and that her living expenses would be lower when she came back.
