Xiaoqin is here

Regardless of whether Hu Yufeng was happy or not, Xizi unilaterally elevated Hu Yufeng to a position higher than that of her biological mother.

Bring water for washing your face in the morning and pour water for washing your feet in the evening.

Yang Xiu felt a little ashamed: since her nephew's wife was so bad, wasn't she, as a daughter-in-law, unqualified?

Hu Yufeng was also made uneasy by her constant service. That is to say, she is already old, but she is still placed on the throne of the old lady.

Eh... Hu Yufeng quickly stopped him: "If you really have nothing to do, learn a skill from your sister-in-law. I don't know where Erbao is. You still have two children. If you have a skill, you and your children will not starve to death in a short time..."

Xizi argued: "I am helping my sister-in-law, and you are giving me food. The child has his grandparents, I don't care..."

Hu Yufeng was so angry that she almost died: "You gave birth to a child and you just say you don't care about him? Your parents will eventually die of old age..."

Xizi was indignant: "Erbao won't come back, why should I be the only one in charge?"

"Didn't the second baby find you and lose you? Let's not go so far as to talk about that. The two children call you mom, don't you have any feelings for them at all?" Hu Yufeng really couldn't understand. They were her biological children, so why did they act so distant to her?

"How can I really have no feelings? It's because these two children look like their father, which makes me upset..." Xizi felt a little guilty when he heard his aunt mention Erbao.

Hu Yufeng: ...

Isn’t it normal for a child to look like his father? It doesn't seem like a bad thing.

She also realized that Xizi didn't just dislike Erbao, but disliked him very much. As a result, he dislikes his two sons who look like Erbao.

There are all kinds of mothers, and I am nothing but a small fry.

Forget it, Xizi has her own logic in her mind, so she should stop trying to explain it.

"You came to my house without telling your parents. I'll ask Wenli to take a message to them tomorrow. Do you have anything to bring home?"

Of course not. After being coaxed by her own mother, Xizi now watches money very tightly and no one wants to spend a penny of her money.

"Okay..." Hu Yufeng thought about it and finally packed some fried dough twists for the two children and asked Wenli to find someone to take them to them.

*

Xizi is quite talented. Once she started, Hu Yufeng and Yang Xiu became less busy.

Yang Xiu also had time to study new types of fried dough twists: Qin Yu's corn fried dough twists and Qin Shu's apple fried dough twists.

Two days later, the experiment was declared a failure.

The steamed apples were not as sweet as expected, but also had a sour taste. Yang Xiu didn't dare to take a second bite because of the strange taste.

The price of corn is okay, except when compared with white flour: there is no comparison at all.

Sweet and delicious fried dough twist is supposed to be a spice in the hard life, but you came up with something made with cornmeal. There's something wrong with you. Haven't you suffered enough?

Qin Yu was not discouraged. He drew inferences from his experience and came up with the idea of ​​sweet potato flavored fried dough twist.

Before the ground freezes, all the sweet potatoes are harvested. The cart was full of food, and Qin Shu and Qin Yu loved eating it.

At this moment, I think pumpkin is good, and sweet potato is even better. Dogs don’t like pumpkin, but they love sweet potatoes.

but……

Qin Yu couldn't hear her mother's reply, and when she looked up, she saw rejection written all over her mother's face.

Looking at grandma again, her face was also full of resistance.

Eh...adults are still picky about food?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't want to be picky, but they really had a psychological trauma about sweet potatoes. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, if you wanted to eat wheat, you had to steal a few strands of it late at night, rub them in your hands a few times, and then throw them into your mouth. Our family was so poor that they only had sweet potatoes, and we ate them for every meal.

Even if Yang Xiu has a grandmother who is very skilled in cooking and can make sweet potatoes into a hundred different kinds of dishes, it cannot change the fact that it is just a sweet potato.

When he heard the term "sweet potato fried dough twist" at this moment, the sweet potato flavor that was engraved in his soul suddenly came out, making Yang Xiu feel so nauseous that he wanted to vomit.

No, absolutely not! ! !

Because of this, Yang Xiu's enthusiasm for developing new flavors was dampened. That is to say, we already have several flavors at home, so there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?

Life at home returned to normal.

Frying and frying every day, the whole yard is marinated with flavor.

The two families next door were drooling at the smell at the beginning, but now they are indifferent.

Even, it would be nice to come here occasionally and buy a few to satisfy your cravings.

Yang Xiu was very satisfied with the current peace and tranquility in Qinjia Bay. Who understands? I have been married for more than seven years, and these three months are the most comfortable. The older sisters-in-law no longer quarreled, and the younger sisters-in-law became gentle and polite.

I hope we can be harmonious like this in the future, harmony can bring wealth!

But how can life really be peaceful?

Qin Xiaoqin called that day and said that she had been cooped up at home for two months and was going crazy with boredom, so she decided to come to her parents' home for a visit.

Hu Yufeng was both excited and nervous.

After all, she is my little girl who has been spoiled for nearly twenty years. How can I really say that I don’t care? Especially since the child is pregnant, she has to be taken care of carefully.

I felt uneasy again. Xiaoqin is spoiled and speaks without thinking. This will inevitably cause unrest in the family. With her pregnant daughter on one side and her son and daughter-in-law with a sensitive relationship on the other, Hu Yufeng is feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Qin Xiaoqin said wind is rain. She had just made a phone call the day before, and before breakfast the next day, she and Yang Xu were already at Lao Qin's door.

Xizi, who was out carrying firewood, ran into him. She looked at the two of them for several times, and suddenly remembered that Hu Yufeng seemed to have a daughter. Looking at the pregnant woman in front of her, she said:

"Is it Xiaoqin? It's freezing cold, how come you're here when you're pregnant?"

She really just cares. After snowing, there is still a thin layer of ice on the road in the morning and evening. What should I do if I fall while pregnant?

But it sounded very harsh to Qin Xiaoqin. She couldn't go back to her parents' home while she was pregnant? Look at the woman in front of you, she looks so weird and her chin seems to be enough to kill someone. Her tone was particularly aggressive:

"Who are you? It's none of your business if I go back to my own parents' home..."

Hey, how come you can't tell good from bad? Xizi put down the firewood and put his hands on his hips...

Hu Yufeng heard the noise in the room and hurried out, only to see the two women refusing to give in to each other, with Yang Xu in the middle wishing he had ten heads and twenty arms.

Hu Yufeng: ...

She never expected that the first people she would face were her two daughters (how could self-proclaimed goddaughters not be considered daughters...)

"What are you all doing? What do you look like..."

It would have been fine if she hadn't spoken. As soon as she spoke, everyone's focus immediately shifted to her:

"Mom, who is this? Yang Xiu hasn't said anything yet, and she comes out and squeaks...what the hell!"

Very good, she offended two people with just one sentence. It turned out to be her brainless daughter.

"Aunt, I just care about her. It's so cold and I told her to be careful if she slips and falls. But she scolded me..." Xizi also felt particularly aggrieved.

"Well, you still curse me, you bitch..."

Yang Xu quickly grabbed his wife who was rushing forward excitedly.

Qin Xiaoqin exploded again after hearing what Xizi said.

What could Hu Yufeng do? She could only frown and say, "Alright, shut up. It's so restless early in the morning. Come inside first..."

The two fighting cocks shut their mouths, but looked angry as they followed Hu Yufeng into the yard.

"Xizi, carry the firewood in first..." Hu Yufeng sent Xizi away first.

Qin Xiaoqin stared at Xizi with an unfriendly look as he entered the kitchen, then asked, "Who is this? What is he doing in our house?"

"Don't you recognize her? Your aunt's daughter-in-law, your brother Erbao's wife..."

"Oh, her... I've only seen her two or three times, and I've long forgotten what she looks like..." Qin Xiaoqin showed a disdainful expression:

"No wonder he's such a fool..."

After saying that, Qin Xiaoqin explained to the confused Yang Xu again, and saw that her husband's eyes were clear. Qin Xiaoqin said again:

"Why does she come to our house instead of staying at home?"

What else could Hu Yufeng say? She simply said nothing: "Don't worry about it. Have you eaten so early?"

"No..." Yang Xu showed a shy smile: There were few people in the yard in the morning, so we came out early..."

When Qin Xiaoqin mentioned this, she instantly forgot about Xizi. Hearing this, he looked depressed:

"My father-in-law won't let me go out. I can't even see the blue sky and the sun. It's so annoying..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Just be patient. The baby will be born in four or five months, and everything will be fine after the birth..." Hu Yufeng could only persuade.

Now that you have decided to give birth to the child, you are destined to hide from place to place!

Qin Xiaoqin looked depressed, but did not say anything in rebuttal. What can she do? She must give birth to the child.

"You two sit on the kang to keep warm. I'll go see how the meal is..."

Hu Yufeng was afraid that her daughter would ask about Xizi again, so she simply avoided him.

Yang Xiu was in the kitchen listening to Xizi complaining about what had happened and was speechless for a moment. Both of them speak in the same tone, so it's not surprising that they quarreled.

Seeing Hu Yufeng coming in, she quickly scraped the food in the pot and asked, "Mom, Xiaoqin and her husband haven't eaten yet, right? Do you want to add two more dishes?"

In the past, Hu Yufeng would definitely add a meat dish to the meal for her daughter and son-in-law, but after the recent quarrel, she was too lazy to waste time and said:

"What else do you want to add? Just eat it like this. This is the only food we have at home..."

Yang Xiu was surprised to hear this, but he didn't say anything and quickly put the dishes on the plate.

"Yuyu, Yuyu...call your grandfather and dad to have dinner."

Yang Xiu shouted towards the door.

"I know, mom."

After a while, two short legs came out from the west room and ran towards the gate.

Qin Xiaoqin looked through the window of the main room and continued to complain:

"We've been here for quite some time, but the two kids haven't come over yet. I thought they weren't home. What did Yang Xiu do to educate them? They don't even know how to greet the guests. They have no manners at all..."

Yang Xu poked her: "Come on, you're probably just playing, what do kids know..."

"It must be Yang Xiu who taught us not to get close to us..." Qin Xiaoqin didn't listen and put the blame firmly on Yang Xiu.

Yang Xu: …

Forget it, this guy just doesn’t make sense.

After a while, Qin Wenli and Qin Shengtian came in from the yard. Qin Wenli had a pendant hanging on each side, and Yang Xu was so envious that he couldn't take his eyes off.

"Yang Xu, Xiao Qin, are you here?"

The two men walked straight into the house and saw two people on the kang, greeting them with a smile.

"Dad, brother..." Yang Xu called out as he got off the kang quickly.

"Please sit down. We are all family. Our home is not like your city. We don't have a stove." Qin Wenli quickly advised.

"That's right, what are you doing downstairs? Mom is the same. I told her I was coming, but she didn't even light the stove..." Qin Xiaoqin said the first words after they entered the house.

Qin Wenli: ...

Qin Shengtian frowned.
