Jackets, sweaters, pants, shoes, autumn clothes, and autumn underwear.

Chu Xia bought four outfits for herself and Cen Huai'an. She also purchased a pair of white Hui Li sneakers and a pair of small leather shoes for Cen Huai'an.

Her taste was influenced by her future knowledge. She didn't choose flashy or elaborate designs but opted for simple, elegant, and versatile styles that would never go out of fashion.

And such a style is very good to wear, easy to match, and with the addition of a brooch and a beautiful belt, it makes it look clever and beautiful.

Chu Xia's favorite piece is a burgundy spelling waist dress, paired with a retro belt and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. It became beautiful and trendy.

Cen Huai'an has no problem with what he wears and is completely at Chu Xia's mercy.

However, as soon as he returned home, he immediately changed into his new white Hui Li sneakers. Chu Xia knew what he liked best.

The old coat was definitely no longer suitable. Chu Xia helped Cen Huai'an put on the new dark blue hooded zip-up jacket, which had no other embellishments except for a small brown bear embroidery on the chest. It was simple but looked great on him.

Cen Huai'an was already fair; although his face is still thin, he has already gained some meat, so this outfit is just like the TV child star.

He looks like a child star on TV when he dresses like this.

Unfortunately, there was no full-length mirror in the house for Cen Huai'an to see himself.

He gently touched his jacket and found it very comfortable and warm.

In his heart, he was very happy, but on his face, only the corners of his mouth had a little curve. He's especially good at hiding his emotions.

"Mom, will these be my clothes from now on?"

"If it's not yours, then who? Stop touching them and come help me wash the vegetables and peel the garlic. Today I'll make spinach with garlic paste."

Chu Xia is a bit sad that her own spinach hasn't grown yet; the current spinach is from this morning when she bumped into an old farmer hawking it near the family complex.

She took a look at the spinach's watery freshness and didn't hesitate to buy two handfuls.

Spinach at this time of year is all natural, and without pesticides, of course, it's better to buy extra. It's so convenient to have a refrigerator, so you can put the vegetables in the refrigerator without fear of spoilage.

Cen Huai'an moved a small bench next to Chu Xia, washed the spinach, and sat there to peel garlic.

He is young, but he works hard and peels the garlic very quickly.

For garlic spinach, it was important to sauté the garlic in hot oil first and then add the spinach. A brief stir-fry was enough—don't overcook the spinach, or it would become tough, and don't undercook it, or it would remain raw.

The timing is very important, and finally, add some soy sauce and salt, and it's ready to serve.

Garlic spinach is very quick to make but very tasty, perfect for summer. It's refreshing and delicious.

Chu Xia also made tofu and spinach soup, warmed up the steamed buns, and it was time to eat.

Cen Huai'an is happiest at this time every day. If Chu Xia wasn't watching, he would stuff himself every time.

The weather had not been great all day, and the wind was blowing strongly. Chu Xia brought an umbrella and a raincoat to work.

Sure enough, it started raining again in the afternoon.
