Xu Mumu played with her little brother on the shallow side of the riverbank. There were also some onlookers on the shore. She didn't let the little guy play in the water for too long. After they came ashore, she put sandals on him.
Xu Mumu took the little guy to see the crabs that the other kids had caught. They managed to get half a bucket full; the children were quite capable.
With more than half a bucket of river crabs, Xu Mumu was just as excited, knowing they could continue to enjoy crabs tonight.
That evening, Xu Mumu didn't take charge of the cooking. Qian Ying took over from Xu Mumu, who had shown her how to make spicy crabs the day before. It wasn't difficult; they had enough chili peppers at home to have a few more meals without any problems.
As they ate crabs that evening, Xu Mumu felt that her second aunt's cooking was undoubtedly the best in the family. The spicy crabs tasted much better than hers, and she was very satisfied with the taste.
