People undergo different awakenings at different stages of life.
Let us provisionally call this transformation of personality and life an awakening.
A few years ago, Sera never considered which cosmetics suited her skin best, nor did she ponder what clothes would make her look less dowdy.
She revolved entirely around the household, starting from waking up a little after six in the morning to make breakfast for her husband and breakfast for Lin Qi.
This consumed a great deal of her time because Neil was a heavy laborer at the time, and if he ate too lightly in the morning, he would lack the strength to work.
He might receive a demerit for "slacking off," resulting in the loss of his end-of-month bonus, and more importantly, he might injure himself.
Therefore, Neil's breakfast was always minced beef, the half-fat and half-lean kind of meat scraps. After chopping it up, she also had to use the beef to fry the whole wheat bread so that the bread would be softer.
Then she used the remaining beef to fry eggs for Lin Qi, followed by her own breakfast of some fried, additive-free whole wheat bread.
She was neither a laborer nor did she need to use her brain, so she did not need to eat all that well.
After Neil went to work and Lin Qi went to school, she began to clean the house and then went grocery shopping.
Because there were no refrigerators back then, their ingredients had to be bought fresh every day, otherwise they spoiled easily.
By the time she returned from outside, it was already around ten o'clock. She would make herself a simple lunch, start washing clothes in the afternoon, and then perhaps take a nap or watch some television, immediately followed by starting dinner. Dinner
