Chapter 103: Dinner

An Jianjun had prepared the necessary ingredients early on, and with the dried pheasant and various dried goods he brought from home, An Jianjun prepared more than ten dishes.

The mother and daughter started preparing the night before. If they waited until tomorrow, there would not be enough time.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, fried day lily, hot and sour shredded potatoes, fried meatballs, braised pork with preserved vegetables, fried bacon, stir-fried tofu, fried peanuts, cabbage, red mushrooms and black fungus, scrambled eggs with sauce.

How could Feng Jiaojiao, a pregnant woman with a big belly, be reluctant to let her work? So they arranged a seat for her and asked her to sit there and watch the mother and daughter work.

In front of me was a large bowl with fried meatballs and a chicken drumstick in it.

Pregnant women are afraid of being hungry, so they eat first, otherwise a large group of people will eat and no one will take care of them.

Seeing Feng Jiaojiao eating happily, An Jianjun felt very satisfied.

The aroma of meat wafted from An's house early in the morning, causing the entire building to guess what delicious food he had cooked.

Xu Qiaoqiao thought that she should come over earlier to help with some work, as An Jianjun's wife was pregnant and couldn't be too tired.

"Qiaoqiao, it's you, come in." Feng Jiaojiao had just finished her meal and went to open the door when she heard a knock.

"Sister-in-law, I decided to come over early to help with some work."

"Where are the children? Why didn't you bring them with you?" Feng Jiaojiao didn't see Zhang Xiangbei's two daughters.

"I... I let them stay at home. No, they can do it by themselves at home." Xu Qiaoqiao didn't have the nerve to bring the children here. Isn't this taking advantage?

"No, you'd better bring the children here quickly. It's not okay to leave two children at home. Go quickly." Feng Jiaojiao asked someone to go back and pick up the children.

Since they are treating us to a meal, they will not be stingy and not let the children eat.

"this……"

"Go quickly, I'll wait for you!" Feng Jiaojiao knew that Xu Qiaoqiao was embarrassed to bring the children here. What if something happened while the two little girls were staying at home?

Xu Qiaoqiao had no choice but to go home and bring the two girls over.

"We'll go to Section Chief An's house later. You two must be obedient." Xu Qiaoqiao worriedly instructed her two daughters.

"Mom, we get it!" Both children understood.

The mother and her two daughters came to settle down.

"Please sit down, auntie will bring you some food." Feng Jiaojiao took out two large plates filled with various food platters.

Biscuits, snacks, candies, peanuts, melon seeds...

"Xiaomi, Xiaoli, don't be polite, you two can eat it." Feng Jiaojiao saw that the two children were reluctant to take it, so she simply grabbed some and put it in their pockets.

"Sister-in-law...this...this is so embarrassing!" Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes turned red when she saw Feng Jiaojiao's generous behavior.

"Let's go, let them play by themselves, and we'll go to the back to work." Feng Jiaojiao pulled Xu Qiaoqiao to the back.

Although he said he was working, in fact, everything was almost ready. With An Li's ability, he could easily prepare meals for a family of more than ten people.

Besides, her son had already prepared most of the food for her, so it was no problem for her now. They worked leisurely, doing some odd jobs and chatting at the same time.

Xu Qiaoqiao secretly observed how An Li and An Jianjun's wife got along with each other. She was really envious. The two of them didn't look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but more like wife and daughter-in-law, and they had a very good relationship.

"Your Xiaomi and Xiaoli's overalls look great. Where did you buy them?" Feng Jiaojiao was surprised to see the overalls on the two girls.

This smock is very clever, with large pockets on both sides and a lace collar. The sleeves and two pockets may not have enough fabric, so they were made with other colored fabrics. However, the color combination is very harmonious and looks very nice. The two little girls look very cute in them.

"Sister-in-law, this...this is not bought by me. I just didn't have time to figure it out at home." Zhang Qiaoqiao didn't have the money to buy a smock for her child.

These were the leftover fabrics from making clothes and pants for her nephew, so she used them to make smocks for her two daughters. The main reason was that the two children only had one cotton-padded jacket, and if it got dirty and couldn't be washed, the children would have nothing to wear.

So she could only use some ingenuity to make a smock for the child by piecing together scraps of cloth. The smock could be washed easily when it got dirty and could be put on the child when it was dry, thus saving clothes.

"Wow, you have such a skillful hand!" An Li also noticed the two children putting on their overalls.

I’m thinking that when my child is born, I’ll make a few pieces of clothes like this for him. They will look so beautiful.

Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little embarrassed that someone actually praised her. "I'm the one who tinkered with it at home. You...if you don't mind, you can come to me if you want to do anything in the future."

"Really? Then we have a deal. I will have to trouble you in the future." Feng Jiaojiao thought Xu Qiaoqiao was very dexterous. In the future, she could ask her to help make clothes for the children and she would give her some hard work fees.

"Hey, just come to me!" Xu Qiaoqiao was very happy that her craftsmanship was recognized by others.

Knock knock.

Someone knocks on the door.

"Hello, who are you?" An Li went to open the door and saw a tall woman standing outside. She was about forty years old.

"You must be Aunt An, right? I'm Liu Lingling, the wife of Cheng Liang, the head of the security department." The woman stood outside the door with something in her hand, smiling.

"Oh, it's Section Chief Cheng's wife. Come in quickly." An Li invited her in.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I am An Jianjun's wife, Feng Jiaojiao." Feng Jiaojiao saw someone coming and stepped forward to greet them.
