Xue Hongliang and a few others came to eat for free, but it was not appropriate for them to just sit there and do nothing, so they all went to find work to do. Some picked up brooms to sweep the floor, some ran to the backyard to chop wood, and Gu Ye went into the kitchen to help Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue added cucumbers, onions and other side dishes into the pot. The five or six pounds of crayfish made her feel like she weighed more than ten pounds, filling up two large steel pots.

Gu Ye smelled the fragrance and started to salivate. He thought to himself no wonder Xue Hongliang and his friends had the audacity to come and eat the crayfish, the crayfish was so delicious.

"Gu Ye, have you told Sister Zhao?" Jiang Yue scooped a bucket of water into the pot and scrubbed it with a bamboo brush. Seeing that Sister Zhao had not come yet, she turned around and asked Gu Ye.

"Yes, I said it." Gu Ye saw that Jiang Yue's head was full of sweat, so he took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

"Then why hasn't she come yet?" Jiang Yue's face was flushed, and sweat dripped on her eyelashes. She blinked, and the sweat beads fell down.

"Beat Zhao Yuanqi at home." Gu Ye looked at Jiang Yue intently.

Hearing Gu Ye's words, Jiang Yue stopped what he was doing and asked in shock: "What did you say?"

"Just do as you said and tell my sister-in-law to explain everything to that kid Zhao Yuanqi." Gu Ye took a fan and fanned Jiang Yue, but what he was thinking in his heart was that summer was coming soon and he couldn't let Jiang Yue continue cooking here like a steamer.

Jiang Yue was puzzled when she heard this, "Then why did my sister-in-law beat Zhao Yuanqi?"

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it normal to beat him? That kid likes to listen to adults talking when he has nothing to do. This is not the first time he has spread such words. If we don't care about it anymore, who knows what he will say next time!"

Jiang Yue: “…”

Gu Ye thought Jiang Yue was worried that Zhao Yuanqi would be beaten, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, that kid is tough and can take a beating! My sister-in-law and the others know what's going on, so they won't beat him too hard!"

Well, if a child makes a mistake, he should be beaten. Otherwise he won’t learn his lesson.

However, Jiang Yue saw that Gu Ye said that beating children was normal, but when it came to himself, he usually couldn't bear to even touch Ning Ning.

Double standards!

Jiang Yue changed the water used to wash the pot twice and prepared to stir-fry two more dishes. Although Xue Hongliang said that they had all eaten, she and Gu Ye had not yet eaten.

Besides, when they come, they are guests. We can’t let them just eat crayfish.

It doesn’t matter if there is not enough rice. Jiang Yue decided to make some pancakes to dip in the crayfish soup.

Soon, Captain Zhao and his wife Zhao came over with Zhao Yuanqi.

"Jiang Yue, let me help you light the fire!" Mrs. Zhao came in and rolled up her sleeves.

"No need, sister-in-law. Everything is ready. Just help me bring it to the table." Jiang Yue glanced at Zhao Yuanqi who was following behind Captain Zhao.

Zhao Yuanqi was a big and strong man. As soon as he came in, he rushed to the sand pit and had fun, shouting loudly: "Ningning, come out and play with us! Wow! The sand is so fun!"

If Jiang Yue hadn't seen the cane marks on Zhao Yuanqi's arm and just looked at his happy expression, she would have never imagined that this kid had just been beaten up in a mixed doubles match at home and was howling for a long time.

"Zhao Yuanqi, get out here! You've made sand everywhere. How are we supposed to eat?" When Captain Zhao saw Zhao Yuanqi rolling around in the sand pit, he flew into a rage. He rushed over, grabbed Zhao Yuanqi by the collar and dragged him out. He was about to hit him with a palm-leaf fan.

"Mom, help!" Zhao Yuanqi's limbs were flapping and sand was falling all over his body.

"It's no use calling me the Lord today!" Captain Zhao was so angry that he slapped Zhao Yuanqi on the butt, making him scream.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just sweep the sand. Sister-in-law, please try to persuade him. The child is just a little naughty. It's okay!" Seeing Zhao Yuanqi screaming loudly, Jiang Yue quickly put down the work in her hands and pulled Sister-in-law Zhao to try to persuade them to stop fighting.

Who knew that Sister Zhao would pull Jiang Yue back and say, "It's okay, it's okay. That kid is too naughty. Let his dad teach him a lesson! It's okay!"

Jiang Yue: “…”Is this my biological mother?

When she looked at Gu Ye again, she saw him standing aside with his arms folded, watching Captain Zhao beat Zhao Yuanqi. Neither Xue Hongliang nor Wang Pingan went up to stop the fight.

Seeing Jiang Yue frowning, Zhao couldn't help but smile and said, "Sometimes I envy your Ningning for being well-behaved and sensible, unlike my naughty monkey, who really gets angry if he's not punished for three days! But Jiang Yue, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Ah? What preparations?" Jiang Yue was watching Captain Zhao beating Zhao Yuanqi. He didn't hear clearly what Sister Zhao said. He only heard her say that she wanted to make preparations.

"What else can you prepare?" Mrs. Zhao winked at Jiang Yue, "You and Gu Ye have been married for a year. When are you going to have a baby?"

Jiang Yue's mouth froze. Weren't they just talking about beating up Zhao Yuanqi? Why did the topic suddenly turn to her and Gu Ye?

"Haha..." Jiang Yue laughed dryly and decided not to continue the topic. She turned around and wanted to go into the kitchen, saying, "Sister-in-law, let's bring all the dishes up!"

As a result, when Jiang Yue turned her head, she found that Gu Ye had been standing behind her, looking at her deeply.

Mrs. Zhao didn't hear Jiang Yue's answer and thought Jiang Yue was shy, so she asked Gu Ye: "When do you plan to have a child?"

Gu Ye's eyes were still fixed on Jiang Yue. He smiled slightly when he heard this, "No hurry!"

Mrs. Zhao picked up the crayfish basin and said earnestly, "Gu Ye, you are not young anymore, why are you not in a hurry? When Old Zhao was your age, our family had Jianguo and Jianjun running around."

Jiang Yue's mouth twitched. Giving birth to large armies has existed in every era!

However, what Mrs. Zhao didn't know was that although she and Gu Ye had been married for almost a year, they had never had sex. The progress bar had only moved a little faster in the past few days, but it was stuck at the last step.

In this case, where can she go?

What does Gu Ye mean when he says there is no rush? What does it mean?

Captain Zhao beat Zhao Yuanqi up and made him sweep the floor, and if he didn't sweep it clean, he wouldn't be allowed to eat crayfish. Now Zhao Yuanqi was obedient. He was not afraid of being beaten, but he couldn't be denied food!

There were many people here tonight, and the stone table in the yard was too small to accommodate everyone, so Gu Ye asked Xue Hongliang and others to carry out the Eight Immortals Table from the main hall.

As soon as crayfish was served, it immediately became the most popular dish.

Eight people, along with two children, finished off two large basins of crayfish, even eating up the cucumbers and onions inside. They then dipped their pancakes in the soup, which was so fresh and fragrant that Captain Zhao and Xue Hongliang's eyes lit up after eating it.

"Gu, I've heard you say your sister-in-law is a good cook before, and this time I finally got to taste it!"

Captain Zhao kept praising him: "When I came back in the evening, I heard Zhao Yuanqi say that he had a pot of fried crayfish made by his sister-in-law for lunch. I thought it was ridiculous. How could the shell of the crayfish be delicious? But his mother also said it was delicious, so I was looking forward to it. I didn't expect that his sister-in-law was really good at it. This crayfish, oh no, crayfish, is not something that can be eaten in the countryside. No one eats this thing, but his sister-in-law can make it so delicious! Who did his sister-in-law learn this from?"

"Thank you for the compliment. I don't have any other skills. I just like to study food when I have nothing to do." Jiang Yue said modestly.

At this moment, Jiang Yue suddenly thought that people of this era don’t know how to eat crayfish very much, so if she opened a food stall specializing in selling crayfish, her business would definitely be very popular.
