Gourmet Life in the Family Compound

[Food] [Child-Rearing] [Lighthearted Daily Life] Li An'an transmigrates and becomes the future stepmother of the male lead in a period novel. Ding! You have been bound to the "Excellent Stepmother Child-Rearing System." Complete missions to earn generous rewards, including but not limited to: long-lost medicinal recipes, plant-growth nutrient solution, sweet-and-tart cherries, large honey plums with thin skins, fresh and juicy strawberries... Slurp! Li An'an is instantly tempted. Her eyes dart around, and she makes up her mind: She's taking the missions! But who says doing missions means she has to become a stepmother? Raise kids? You can do that anywhere, right? Every household has children, doesn't it? Colonel Yuan's family is looking for a nanny, isn't it? I'm your girl! Watch her turn a scrawny little monkey into a chubby dumpling! And transform a child starved of love into the happiest kid in the whole military district! [Bonus Scene] The fourth son of the Yuan family hasn't been home in six months. When he finally returns, he spots a chubby little dumpling sitting on the sofa. He circles the child three times in disbelief before realizing it's his own little Shitou, who never wants to eat and acts like every meal is an attempt on his life! !!! Has his mother finally lost it and started feeding Shitou pig feed?! ...The answer he gets is a hard smack on the head. After a few days at home, he pats his own belly and figures it out. His mother hasn't resorted to some crooked method. A "river-snail maiden" has come to live with them. Reader's Guide: 1. The male lead is Yuan Ye, the third son of the Yuan family. He appears late, very late, and romance is not a major focus. He won't appear until the middle or later part of the story. 2. This isn't a career-focused story about a strong female lead. It's a lighthearted tale of eating, drinking, raising kids, and doing a little farming in the mountains and by the rivers. 3. There is a System, but it takes up very little space and can almost be ignored. It barely appears in the middle and later parts of the story, serving mostly as background. Here's another upcoming story in the same vein, "The Little Consort Is Online Every Day". Feel free to check it out in my author page. If it sounds like your kind of thing, it's a lighthearted story about surfing the internet, eating and drinking, raising kids, and farming after transmigrating into the Qing Dynasty. Theme: Food heals life.
