Chi Yu drunkenly found herself transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character in a rural farming novel that emphasized hardship and survival. In the original story, the main character was accused of ...
So many river snails, and so many people were sent out, and brought back by mule carts—it's clearly for their benefit.
Sure enough, after Huang Dani got out of the car and saw her, her first words were:
“Mother-in-law, I heard from Xiaoyu that you like these river snails, so I had Akang, my sister-in-law, and my third sister-in-law go out early this morning to help pick them up.”
Because the road was quite long and there were so many snails, I got so excited that I forgot about the time.
"You must be hungry by now, right? Just a moment, I'll go cook!"
Wang Yunjuan looked longingly at the river snails, and after hearing this, she reluctantly turned her gaze to Huang Dani.
"Mother-in-law, you're too kind! It's all our fault. If we hadn't come here so abruptly, you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to entertain us."
After saying that, she looked at her daughter beside her and said, "Xiao Feng, you will also be a member of the Chi family in the future. You should go and help out later."
Although she was reluctant to let her pampered child do such rough work.
But she was going to marry into this family and live with Chi Kang after all.
It's one thing if servants do these things later, but now that her future mother-in-law is busy with these things, she has to show her attitude.
We can't let Huang Dani feel like she's married into a family where she only knows how to be waited on!
Upon hearing her mother's words, Zhong Yufeng did not refuse, but instead smiled and walked towards Huang Dani.
"Aunt Huang, I'm not very good at cooking, so I won't embarrass myself today. Can I help with the fire later?"
Zhong Yufeng brought her dowry with her this time, and naturally, she also brought her maids.
The only problem is that the older girls are already married and weren't brought along. The girls of marriageable age weren't brought along either.
The child was only eleven or twelve years old.
She couldn't order the little maid around right now; she had to do it herself.
As far as Huang Dani was concerned, her daughter-in-law hadn't even entered the house yet; she was still a guest. How could she ask her to do any work?
Besides, when they talked to them yesterday, they learned that the family would separate after the marriage, so they said they would build a house here for the two younger ones to live in.
In addition, the maids, servants, and young men who come with the dowry will also have a place to stay.
The man was wealthy and came from a good family. It would also provide a good life for her youngest child. She didn't want her child to suffer without hardship, so she naturally agreed.
Since we agreed to let them build a house and provide servants yesterday, there's no reason for us to put on airs now and make people cook in the kitchen.
Therefore, she smiled and politely declined: "No need, it's too hot to cook in the kitchen in this weather, Xiaofeng, you should spend more time with your parents."
"Your aunt, your eldest aunt, and your third aunt are all in the kitchen. Dinner will be ready in a little while."
After saying this, Huang Dani followed Chi Qiao and Chen Xiaomai and carried all the snails into the kitchen.
The lunch at Lao Chi's house was simple.
Because we have guests, we have to prepare the best food, but of course, not all of it can be the absolute best.
Therefore, the rice is made of half rice and half millet, steamed together.
The dishes included stir-fried river snails, garlic-flavored water spinach, stir-fried dried mushrooms with cured meat, and a large bowl of red bean and pumpkin soup.
Three dishes and a soup, with meat and vegetables, is a decent meal.
Especially the river snails, which make up the largest proportion.
The river water is clean, and so are the snails. They don't need to be kept alive for a few days; just wash them clean before cooking.
The second branch of the Zhong family, who love this food, didn't feel that the other party was neglecting them with these dishes.
They ate lunch to their hearts' content, even more so than the five dishes and soup that Chi Qiao had prepared the night before.
After they finished eating and went back to their rooms to rest, Wang Yunjuan asked Chunxi directly:
"Xiao Feng's marriage has been arranged, and the wedding will be held in a few days."
Chunxi, after you arrived here yesterday, didn't you also go up the mountain to help put out the forest fire?
On that mountain, was there anyone who left a deep impression on you, especially since they weren't married?
