Li Qingyun felt more at ease after receiving the money and notes. She thought that she should prepare a better reception in the evening so that the "boss" would be happier and her future life would be better.

Yes, she decided to treat Gu Tingzhou as her boss in the future, and she would be an employee who took care of his children and did the housework. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt much more comfortable.

The most important thing is that when she first met Gu Tingzhou, she felt neither rejection nor disgust. He was handsome, manly, well-spoken, gentle, calm and lively, with a kind of contradictory beauty.

It wasn't hard to work for him, as this man was quite pleasing to her.

After cleaning up the kitchen, I turned over the little bit of land left over from the morning and poured a few basins of water on it, and that was about it.

When we returned to the front yard, Dabao's grandparents had already arrived.

Dabao is still young and can't express himself clearly. I heard from my grandson that his father was sent back by car and was lying in bed unable to move. His mother asked him to call his grandmother over to discuss something.

The old couple were so frightened that they were out of their wits. Father Gu picked up his grandson and ran over, sweating all over.

It was also because their courtyard was a little remote, and he came back in the morning when everyone went to work, so no one knew about it.

Fortunately, the old couple felt relieved when they knew their son was fine and just slightly injured.

The second son's family already has two sons to support and a troublesome daughter-in-law. If anything happens to the second son or he returns from the army, the family will collapse.

The adults are fine, but the two children feel sorry for themselves. The old man always loves his grandchildren.

It's okay, it's okay.

"Zhao Di, what's the matter that you called me here?" When Mother Gu saw Li Qingyun pushing the door in, she quickly stood up and asked.

She was also very nervous. The second son came back injured this time, and his wife must not cause any trouble. It would be serious if the injury was not healed well and left some chronic illness.

Li Qingyun greeted his parents and washed his hands before saying, "This is Tingzhou's comrades who brought him back. He came a long way, so we have to treat him well.

It just so happens that the timing is not very good, and I can't buy meat at the moment. There are only some ribs left at home. I am thinking of killing a chicken in the evening and then see if I can get a fish.

I don't have any chickens at home, so if you have any suitable ones, I'll buy one from you."

After hearing what Li Qingyun said, the old couple felt slightly relieved.

Just think about entertaining the guests. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, anything is fine.

Li Qingyun didn't know that her parents-in-law had such low expectations of her, otherwise she would have laughed.

If a kind person does a bad thing, people will blame her and despise her.

But when a bad person does a good thing, people will praise and admire her instead.

"Go back and catch a chicken, kill it and send it over. I'll ask Fourth Brother if he caught any fish today. If he did, get one for him." Father Gu gave some instructions to Mother Gu first.

Then he said to Li Qingyun, "Second daughter-in-law, you have been very hard-working during this period. We are a family and we don't talk about money. As long as you live your life well, we will be relieved."

No wonder Mr. Gu is able to be the head of a village. He understands human nature well and knows how to manage his subordinates.

With just a few words, he made his daughter-in-law happy and willing to take care of his sick son, while also solving the problem.

Although Li Qingyun has had a new heart now, the old woman will not say it, and she will still take good care of the patient.

I have to say, all of this is done with good intentions, all for the children.

"Okay, I'll prepare some other dishes first. Don't cook over there tonight. Come over to eat. Tingzhou hasn't been home for a while."

Li Qingyun originally wanted to insist on giving the money, but then she thought that it was not in line with Li Zhaodi's stingy personality, so she decided to make up for it by giving her something else when she had the chance.

After discussing it, everyone went about their own business, leaving only Gu Tingzhou, Dabao and Erbao playing on the kang.

Gu Tingzhou slept for a long time along the way. In addition, he was so excited to see his two adorable sons when they were little that he didn't feel sleepy at all. He patiently accompanied the two children in their playful moments.

Li Qingyun went with them and only asked them to pay attention to changing the second baby's diaper.

There will be many people at night, so we need to prepare more dishes.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms is a must, and the chicken breast can be sliced ​​to make Kung Pao Chicken, which is a favorite of southerners.

The spare ribs she smuggled out last time had actually been eaten, but no one knew the situation at her home anyway, and it was her decision, so she took out some more spare ribs and prepared to make a pot of spare ribs stewed with beans.

Add a few more vegetarian dishes, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, eggplant and beans, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the candied sweet potatoes that the kids love, and some vegetable egg drop soup.

In the end, it depends on fate. If there is fish, braise it. If not, forget it.

That’s about it. Anyway, these dishes are made in large portions, so they should be enough for you.

If there are many people, rice cannot be the staple food. Although there is enough space for rice, it is too conspicuous. For more than ten people, they will have to eat several kilograms of rice in one meal.

After thinking about it, she decided to make cornmeal pancakes, which she made by adding cornmeal to white flour and eggs. The pancakes were fluffy and softer and tasted better than those made with white flour.

After deciding on the menu, Li Qingyun started preparing the food and was busy.

She had packed up all the suspicious things in the house in advance. There was a soldier living in the house, so she couldn't be careless. If she wasn't careful, the secret would be exposed, and she would be doomed.

Just as the vegetables were washed and the cornmeal paste was prepared, Gu's mother came hurriedly with her eldest daughter-in-law.

In her left hand she carried a large basket filled with vegetables she had picked from her own plot of land, and in her right hand she held a plucked rooster.

Not long after, Father Gu also came back with two big carp.

I was lucky today. As soon as I arrived at the river, I met Lao Si. He had a bucket full of big carp and he bought two big ones.

After giving the fish to the three of them, Father Gu went to the winter house to accompany his son and grandson. Especially this little grandson, except for the time when he was one month old, this was the second time he saw him. He was so cute and funny at that time, and he loved him very much.

The three people in the kitchen were also chatting while working. Li Qingyun organized two people to help according to her own arrangements, and everything was in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Gu felt that she had not seen the second brother's family for many days. As her mother-in-law said, the changes were huge.

The face is still the same, but it looks bright and generous, and she arranges things neatly and efficiently. It is a world of difference compared to her previous unpresentable appearance.

In the past, I didn't think much of her. So what if she was pretty, or if her husband could make money? She always felt that she was no worse than the second brother's family.

Now that they met again, she felt ashamed of herself and even felt embarrassed to compare herself with her. The other person was like a phoenix on a paulownia tree, bright and dazzling, while she was like a country chicken in a chicken coop, there was no comparison at all.

She felt a little frustrated for a while and made many mistakes, which caused her mother-in-law to ask her what was wrong.

Li Qingyun noticed that she looked at him secretly from time to time, but she didn't say anything and just let her look.

The three of them had something on their minds, they worked silently and thought secretly.
