The man was handsome, from a good family, and generous to her; she was very satisfied.<...
Chapter 71 Alienation
"Auntie, has Yuwei broken up with her boyfriend?" Ying Sisi implied that she was meddling in other people's business.
"You, you, you! Serve your own man!" Song Hanmei's sore spot was hit and she walked away.
But in order to avoid being accused of torturing Ying Sisi, she stayed in the kitchen to keep an eye on her, preventing her from using all the delicious food in the house to entertain Qin Yanci. He was also an ungrateful person, and it was a waste of the extra beef she had cut when he first came.
If you throw something to a dog, it will wag its tail.
Ying Sisi said calmly, "I don't count on you."
Song Hanmei snorted coldly: "I hope you can be so confident when you marry into your husband's family. You will understand how humble and cautious a marriage without the support of your parents is in the future."
Ying Sisi didn't want to pay attention and focused on the work at hand.
Every time the food came out of the pot, Song Hanmei would carry it into the main room.
Li Junlu always offered a sincere greeting out of gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work." Turning to Qin Yanci, he said: "Your aunt is always so diligent. Everything she says and does makes sense."
Qin Yanci narrowed his eyes slightly. What his father-in-law meant was that what he had just said to Song Hanmei was rude and arbitrary?
He set his eyes on the food.
The chicken soup cooked by Sisi and the steamed winter melon rolls with meat were both garnished with a handful of tender green onion shreds.
The length of the green onion shreds on the plate is about the same as yesterday.
Dishes can be learned from each other.
But a person's habits are specific.
The dish must have been cooked by Sisi.
This father didn't even know about it, which shows how little he cared about Si Si.
His lips curled up, but his smile was cold and distant. "That's exactly what my father-in-law said. I've seen Aunt's dishes look great, so they must taste good. My mother also likes to think about dishes when she has free time. Why don't you ask Aunt to record the steps and I'll take them home so Mom can learn from them."
"Okay." Li Junlu became extremely enthusiastic whenever he heard anything about Qin's father and mother.
He went straight into the kitchen.
When I pushed the door open, I found Song Hanmei sitting there eating melon seeds, while Ying Sisi was busy making a fire and cooking.
Song Hanmei almost choked on the melon seeds: "You, why are you here?"
Li Junlu was shocked and stunned: "Hanmei! Didn't you cook this?"
Qin Yanci followed in and said in surprise, "So it's Sisi who's cooking. No wonder her hands are so wet in the cold winter. It's hard for our Sisi, the beauty of the first lady, but the fate of a maid."
Song Hanmei: "What? Young Miss? Are you scolding me?"
Ying Sisi smiled at him, "I'm used to it. Every time we have guests, one of Auntie and Yuwei always comes in to help. But they end up sitting there cracking melon seeds, waiting for me to get up and serve the food on the plates. That's what they do."
Li Junlu: “.” This girl! As soon as she opened her mouth, she started to spread the dirty laundry of the family.
She is not afraid of being looked down upon by others.
Qin Yanci sat down in front of the stove: "I'll light the fire."
"Okay." Ying Sisi was eager for help.
"Just let your aunt come. How can we ask you, a guest, to do this? Come on, follow me into the house." Li Junlu hurriedly pulled him.
Oh, this cold plum.
When can I be lazy? I have to choose when relatives come to visit.
Not capable of accomplishing anything, but capable of causing trouble!
Qin Yanci remained motionless: "It's okay, uncle, please go inside first, I'll make the fire burn brighter."
Li Junlu couldn't persuade her and stayed in the kitchen to keep her company.
"I'll go buy some wine." Song Hanmei felt very uncomfortable and tried to find an excuse to avoid him.
Ying Sisi asked doubtfully, "Buying wine? Didn't Ah Ci give me two bottles of Moutai before the New Year?"
Song Hanmei: “.” You can’t stand having some good things stored at home, right?
Li Junlu: “.”
