When the three siblings arrived home, they found the house just as tidy as before.
"You two go wash up first, I'll cook."
The brothers washed up in the yard. "Second brother, is there something we don't know?"
"There should be. Hongling, did you see Mom sitting on the backseat of a stranger's motorcycle?"
"Yeah, and Mom was smiling really happily." Hongling's mood was a bit low.
Li Xue looked at the grain at home and still decided to make cornbread with today's maize flour and cook potatoes at the bottom of the pot; this way, one pot would be enough for a meal.
She was distracted, thinking of how to tell her brothers about the divorce later. She had been undecided about whether to tell them, but after what she saw today, she had no choice.
The two brothers also came into the kitchen.
"Red Army, you peel the garlic, I'll chop some pickles, and we'll mix them with minced garlic later."
Hongling ran to fetch a bulb of garlic, and the brothers peeled it in the kitchen.
