章 707: 078 Hotpot, shared expense_3

They were planning to have hot pot at noon. Lin Yuan and her family had already enjoyed hot pot several times during winter at home, so they had all the necessary equipment such as the hot pot stove. The mutton and meatballs had been prepared before New Year's, and as for vegetables, only Chinese cabbage, radishes, and potatoes were available in winter. There were also some sweet potatoes harvested from the vegetable patch in the kitchen, which Lin Yuan cleaned and added to the pot. Cooked sweet potatoes are sweet and soft, very delicious, but there's one thing, sweet potatoes can't be boiled for too long in the pot, or else they'll turn mushy.

Because of the matter with Lin Yongle, the family was extremely cautious at meal times. Even Xiao Linshuang had lost the joy of eating, as she listlessly picked at the mutton in her bowl and stealthily watched her father, fearing that he might inadvertently start crying.
