Ni Cuiliua opened her mouth and recited following the sound in her memory, “A, 0, E,”

What came next? However, Ni Cuihua couldn’t remember no matter how hard she tried.

Ni Yang looked at Ni Cuihua in surprise, “Mom, how did you know these phonetic alphabets?”

Ni Cuihua shook her head, “I don’t know, it just feels like I’ve heard it somewhere.”

Heard it somewhere?

Ni Yang narrowed her eyes subtly.

Could this be related to her mother’s past?

Ni Cuihua continued, “Maybe I heard it by accident when I was herding cows. Don’t the students at school always recite it this way? ‘A, O, E’.”

The elementary school in Dam Village is in the village center where Ni Cuihua used to herd cows, so this seemed like a plausible explanation.

Ni Yang didn’t think further and continued teaching Ni Cuihua phonics.

Ni Cuihua was really smart. In a short while, she grasped the meaning of the twenty-six phonetic alphabets.

She also understood the differences between initials, finals, front nasal sounds, and back nasal sounds.

By the end of an afternoon, Ni Cuihua could already independently spell words using phonetics.

Ni Yang laughed saying, “Mom, if you had been schooled, I’m sure you could have been admitted to a prestigious university.”

Ni Cuihua was very pleased and asked, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true,” Ni Yang continued, “Otherwise, how could your daughter be so smart? All because I inherited your good genes.”

“Genes?” Ni Cuihua asked curiously, “What are genes? Are they different from roosters and hens?”

Ni Yang laughed, “Genes, also known as hereditary factors, are all the nucleotide sequences needed to produce a polypeptide chain or functional RNA…”

Ni Cuihua was completely lost.

In her heart, she exclaimed that it is better to be educated.

This was the second time she couldn’t understand what someone was saying.

Seeing Ni Cuihua’s confusion, Ni Yang continued, “Let me give you a simple analogy. It’s like you sow melon seeds and you get melons, sow beans and you get beans. This is the power of inheritance, also known as genes.”

With this explanation, Ni Cuihua understood. She laughed, “Oh! I understand now, like a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix to a phoenix, and a mouse’s offspring can dig holes.”

Ni Yang nodded with laughter, “Right, right, that’s the principle.” After saying this, she added, “Mom, you stay here and study phonetics, I’m going to prepare tonight’s dinner.”

Ni Cuihua immediately stood up, “I’ll go with you.”

Ni Yang smiled, “No need, I can manage by myself.’1

After finishing speaking, Ni Yang turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Tonight’s main dish is Roasted Chicken. However, eating Roasted Chicken alone can cause one to feel satiated, so she can prepare a couple of dishes to balance out the greasiness, and a soup.

Ni Yang pulled out the menu.

The first dish: Stir-fried Green Pepper with King Oyster Mushrooms.

The “Compendium of Materia Medica” records King Oyster Mushrooms as: “sweet in taste, moderate in character, strengthens the spleen and stomach, nourishes the heart and calms the mind, nourishes the blood and moistens dryness, and has a good effect on hair maintenance.”

Hence, this dish is prepared to prevent hair loss.

After all, hair is the second face of a person. One must take good care of it.

Second dish: Sour and Spicy Tender Ginger Mixed with Lettuce.

Ginger is rich in protein, sugar, fat, iron, salt, etc., as well as rich gingerol and shogaol, hailed as the ‘king of rust removal’, and lettuce contains abundant fluorine elements, this combination can effectively whiten teeth.

If only the external image is good, but one reveals a mouth of big yellow teeth when they speak, it’s not attractive.

Toothpaste cannot bring about such whitening effects.

In her previous life, Ni Yang wasted quite a bit of money to whiten her teeth, she even resorted to expensive porcelain teeth, but artificial ones can’t compare to natural ones. Therefore, in this life, Ni Yang decided to take care of her own teeth.

Even if one is born beautiful, they still need to be maintained.

If not maintained, soon one will become haggard from kitchen smoke and turn into a ‘yellow-faced woman’.

The third dish is soup: Adenophora and Polygonatum Soup with Pork Ribs.

The “Compendium of Materia Medica” classifies Polygonatum as a “top-grade” medicinal material and records: “Treats all deficiencies, Long-term use gets rid of a dark complexion, promotes a good skin tone and moistens skin, lightens the body and slows down aging.”

Hence, Adenophora and Polygonatum Soup with Pork Ribs has a great effect in whitening and moisturizing the skin.

After deciding on what to eat for the night, Ni Yang began to prepare.

Having prepared all these dishes, night gradually fell.

Ni Cuihua was collecting clothes in the yard.

She was very focused, reciting the twenty-six phonetic alphabets while collecting clothes and didn’t even notice when Ni Yang passed by her..
