Since he brought Xiaoqing and Xiaohong with him, Li Hehua began to teach them cooking, taking advantage of this time to teach them.

In the morning, I mainly taught Xiaoqing how to make snacks, which could be used as lunch. In the afternoon, I taught Xiaohong how to make pastries, which were then given to Cao Simei to sell the next day.

Li Hehua first taught Xiaoqing how to make braised pork rice today. She demonstrated and explained to him: "To make braised pork rice, you must first cook the rice and set it aside, then boil the eggs, and then prepare the braised pork. Look, first cut the onion into small rings like I did, then fry it in a pan until it is browned and serve it for later."

Next, Li Hehua cut the prepared mushrooms into small dices, and then cut the pork belly with fat and meat into very small dices. Then he added water to the pot, put the diced pork into the water for a while, removed the foam, and poured oil into the pot. He said, "When the oil is heated, add the minced ginger and minced garlic to stir-fry, then put the diced pork belly in, and when it is slightly colored, add the other seasonings."

As he spoke, Li Hehua put soy sauce, aniseed, Shaoxing wine and a little pepper into the pot, then put the freshly made onion rings and diced mushrooms in, stir-fried them for a few times, and then poured in the prepared broth. "The broth must cover the ingredients in the pot, not too much and not too little. Then, put the boiled eggs in and cook together. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat until the soup thickens. It will take about half an hour."

Xiaoqing watched carefully, writing down every ingredient and step, with utmost seriousness.

Seeing Xiaoqing taking note, Li Hehua said, "After the braised meat sauce is ready, there is one last step, which is to blanch the greens and diced radish in boiling water, and finally pour it over the cooked white rice along with the braised meat and eggs. Xiaoqing, do you remember this?"

Xiaoqing nodded, "I remember."

Li Hehua patted his shoulder and said, "I'll show you when I'm done. You can try what I've made and then try it yourself. When it's done, it will be our family's lunch. Then you'll be in charge of the dinner."

Xiaoqing nodded seriously.

While the marinade was thickening, Li Hehua heated up another large pot and began to stew the hen he had bought. This soup was for Song Dashan's body to replenish his body. An injured person needs nutrition, and eating ordinary meals alone will not do.

Li Hehua was busy in the kitchen. At this time, Zhang Tieshan was leaning on the bed and talking to Zhang Qingshan.

He gave the cloth that Li Hehua bought to Zhang Qingshan, "Qingshan, this is the cloth your sister-in-law bought for you and mother. Take it to mother's room later and make some clothes for her when she is free."

Zhang Qingshan was so surprised when he saw the cloth in front of him that he didn't bother about the title of "sister-in-law". He didn't expect Li Hehua to buy him cloth to make clothes. This cloth was fine cotton cloth. How could a farmer be willing to buy fine cotton cloth to make clothes? He had never had a fine cotton cloth since he was a child. Even if he had money, he wouldn't buy it. In his opinion, fine cotton cloth was a precious thing. It was a waste for a farmer to wear it. But he didn't expect that the woman actually bought one for him and one for his mother. Isn't this too generous?

Zhang Qingshan felt that he couldn't understand this woman anymore. Why did she look nothing like the Li Hehua he knew? It was good enough that Li Hehua didn't steal his things, but why would she be willing to buy such good things for them?

Zhang Qingshan was very confused and said hesitantly, "Brother, why did she buy this for me and mother? What is her purpose? Is she trying to please you and make you marry her again?"

Zhang Tieshan shook his head gently and patted the edge of his bed, "Qingshan, come and sit down."

Zhang Qingshan didn't know what his brother was going to do, but he sat down obediently anyway. He admired his elder brother very much and listened to him very much.

Zhang Tieshan asked: "Qingshan, do you think your sister-in-law has changed from before?"

Zhang Qingshan looked at his brother in confusion. He didn't understand why his brother asked this, but in the face of his brother's inquiring gaze, he still answered honestly, "She has changed a lot, like a completely different person." She has indeed changed a lot. Not only has her figure become thinner and her appearance has become better, but her temper has also become gentler. She is no longer as aggressive and unreasonable as before, especially when it comes to cooking. The food she cooks now is so delicious that people can't stop eating it.

Yes, yes, now she is also very nice to Shulin, and treats Shulin as her own sweetheart.

I just don't know if what he saw was real.

Zhang Tieshan nodded, with a smile in his eyes, "Indeed, your sister-in-law has changed a lot now. Not only has her temper changed, but she is also very capable. The food she cooks is especially delicious. She runs her own business in town, and her business is very good. The money she earns every day is more than our family's monthly expenses."

Zhang Qingshan was surprised. The money he earned every day was more than his family's monthly expenses? How much money did he make? This... this was too capable, wasn't it?

Zhang Tieshan continued, "Your sister-in-law is so good now, she is much more capable than your brother, and she makes more money than me. Tell me, why does she do this and deliberately try to please us to marry her? There are a lot of people who want to marry her now. How many people can she marry who are better off than me? Think about it, right?"

Zhang Qingshan thought about it and found that it seemed to be true. She was thinner now, her facial features were more prominent, and she didn't look ugly at all. What's more, the food she cooked was so delicious, and she could make so much money every day. In addition, she was gentle in her words and deeds now. Men would definitely want to marry such a woman. From this point of view, it seemed that she really didn't need to please them, let alone rely on his brother to marry her.

Then why did she cook for them and buy cloth for them?

Zhang Tieshan saw that his brother had figured it out, so he continued, "Qingshan, I'm telling you the truth. Your sister-in-law has realized her mistakes in the past. She regrets it very much and thinks that she was possessed by a ghost at that time. Now that she is sober, she has completely changed. She is very good now, not pretending, but really good. You have also noticed that she has changed a lot now, right?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded blankly.

"Qingshan, I like your sister-in-law very much now, and your nephew can't live without her, so I want to marry her again, but she doesn't want to pay attention to me because of the past. I am trying my best to marry her now. Therefore, your and mother's attitude is very important." Zhang Tieshan patted Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder and asked seriously: "Qingshan, for the sake of me, can you put aside your previous dissatisfaction with her and get to know your sister-in-law again? As long as you put aside your prejudices and observe your sister-in-law carefully, you will find that she is really good now. I don't want you to accept her reluctantly. I just want you to put aside your previous prejudices and take a serious look at whether your sister-in-law is good or bad now. For the sake of me and your nephew, can you do it?"

He couldn't tell anyone that Li Hehua had a soul change. This matter must not be known to another person. In this world, not everyone can accept the different. He couldn't risk her safety, so he could only say that she realized her mistakes and was determined to correct them. Although she still had to bear the blame, which was a bit unfair to her, there was no other way.

Qingshan was raised by him, and he knew that he was actually a very kind person. He was so repulsive to Gaogao before because the real Li Hehua was indeed disgusting. However, as long as Qingshan saw how good she was now and knew how he felt about her, Qingshan would be willing to re-examine her for him and Shulin and then accept her.

He believed in his brother.

Qingshan is easier to convince than his mother, so he plans to convince Qingshan first. As long as Qingshan accepts her again, his mother's attitude will change.

His mother is a person without her own opinion and likes to follow the crowd. To put it simply, she will never insist on something on her own and will change as the people around her change. As long as everyone in the family likes Li Hehua, her mother will never insist on it for too long. In the end, she will slowly discover her good points and then slowly change her attitude.

This is also the reason why he dared to promise Li Hehua that he would solve the problem, because he knew his mother and brother too well and had already thought of a solution in his mind. If his mother was really a stubborn and strong old lady, he really wouldn't dare to make a promise.

Sure enough, after Zhang Tieshan finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan fell into deep thought. Through these few days of getting along, he not only saw that she had become very gentle and hardworking, but also that she loved Shulin very much, and Shulin also relied on her very much, and was reluctant to be separated from her for a moment, which made him, the second uncle, jealous. He was not stupid, he knew that her kindness to Shulin was definitely not fake, otherwise Shulin would not like her so much, so her kindness now was most likely from the heart.

What's more, she is so rich now, she doesn't need to pretend in front of them.

Zhang Qingshan began to think, if, as his brother said, Shulin couldn't leave her, and his brother also fell in love with her and wanted to marry her, if he continued to hate her and treat her badly, she would not marry his brother, his brother would be sad, and Shulin would not be able to bear it. And she was Shulin's biological mother after all, if his brother married someone else, how could the stepmother really be good to Shulin?

In this situation, could he be so selfish as not to give her a chance? It seems not.

Zhang Qingshan thought a lot in his mind, and finally looked at his brother and his nephew and nodded, "I know, brother. I am willing to put aside the past. If she has really changed for the better now, I will forgive her past mistakes and accept this sister-in-law again."

Zhang Tieshan smiled as if relieved from a great burden and rubbed his brother's head. "Okay, thank you, big brother."

Zhang Qingshan felt embarrassed by the thanks and his face turned red. He felt too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he picked up the cloth and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. I'm going out to work." After that, he quickly left the room.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I immediately smelled an enticing aroma, like the smell of meat. The aroma must have come from the kitchen.

Zhang Qingshan shrugged his nose, his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the kitchen, and he forgot what he was supposed to do.

It smells so good. What delicious food have you made?

At this time, Li Hehua came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks. Seeing Zhang Qingshan, he smiled and said, "Hurry up and clean up for lunch. We're having braised pork rice for lunch today. Qingshan, go call your mother."

Zhang Qingshan was startled by Li Hehua's gentle smile and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He uttered "Oh" softly and walked into Zhang Lin's room with the cloth in his arms.

Li Hehua was a little surprised to get a rare response from him, then he smiled, put the bowl and chopsticks in his hand on the table, and brought out several large bowls of braised pork rice. After telling Xiaoqing, Xiaohong and others that they could eat when they were all together, he returned to the kitchen, scooped a large bowl of chicken soup and brought it into the room, where two men, one big and one small, were crying for food.

Sure enough, when the two saw Li Hehua come in, their eyes immediately fixed on her, making Li Hehua not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Li Hehua sat down beside the bed, scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon, and said to them, "Come, drink some chicken soup first, and then we'll have braised pork rice."

The little guy was the most obedient. He immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the spoonful of soup in Li Hehua's hand, looking very happy.

Seeing his son finish drinking, Zhang Tieshan opened his mouth and drank the next spoonful. The father and son now had a tacit understanding, taking turns with one spoon each, which was very fair!

After a while, the father and son finished the big bowl of soup. Li Hehua took the empty bowl back to the kitchen to get the braised pork rice for them.

In the main room, Zhang Qingshan, Zhang Linshi, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong were eating. The four of them were silent. They all lowered their heads and ate hard, with their cheeks bulging.

Zhang Qingshan had never eaten such delicious food before. The braised meat was fresh and tasty, melting in the mouth. Combined with the fragrant and soft white rice, it was so delicious that he couldn't wait to eat the next bite after the first one and couldn't stop eating.

These few days are the best food he has ever eaten in his life. It's like a dream life.

At this time, Zhang Qingshan saw Li Hehua coming out of the room. For the first time, he felt that she was really good now. She had such good cooking skills and such a good business. Now she was willing to give up so much money and come to their house to take care of his brother and cook delicious food for them. It was really... pretty good...

Is she really different now?

Zhang Qingshan subconsciously looked at his mother, and saw that his mother, like him, scooped a full spoonful of braised pork rice into her mouth, chewing it as if savoring the taste, with a look of pleasure in her eyes.

His mother also particularly likes the food she cooks.

But his mother still doesn't like her very much, so should he try to persuade her?

Zhang Qingshan himself didn't realize that his mentality had gradually changed under his brother's persuasion and the temptation of delicious food.

Li Hehua didn't know all this. He brought two bowls of braised pork rice back to the room and fed the father and son, one big and one small. The father and son's reactions were the same as those of the other people in the room. They were so satisfied with the food that their eyes narrowed.

Zhang Tieshan smiled and pinched Li Hehua's cheek, praising her: "Gao Gao, this is delicious."

Li Hehua smiled. Although everyone said it was delicious, she was particularly happy when he said it was delicious.

Shulin saw his father praising his mother and his mother was so happy. He felt that he could not fall behind, so he also wanted to imitate his father and praise his mother. So, he came up to Li Hehua, stretched out his little fleshy hand and pinched Li Hehua's cheek. When he was about to speak like Zhang Tieshan, he opened his mouth and suddenly froze.

How could he say it? Why couldn't he say it?

Shu Lin looked at Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan a little confused.

The smiles on Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan's faces suddenly disappeared, and they looked at each other.

Shulin has never spoken since he was a child. Li Hehua originally thought that the little guy was unwilling to speak. Later he found out that the little guy had never learned to speak at all. At the age when other children were learning to speak, he was abused by his own mother. He never knew he had to learn to speak, and no one taught him to speak. Gradually, he closed himself off and never learned to speak again. He himself was unwilling to speak, and he never had any desire to speak.

This was the first time that Shu Lin took the initiative to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't speak.

He couldn't say it.

Li Hehua's heart was broken and her eyes became red. She had not forced the little guy before because she wanted to wait until his condition got better before teaching him. She didn't expect that this day would come so soon and he actually wanted to speak on his own initiative.

Seeing this, Zhang Tieshan took the food in her hand and put it aside, trying his best to avoid tearing his wound, and gently embraced Li Hehua and Shulin in his arms.

He patted Li Hehua on the back and said, "Don't be sad. Shulin is fine now. Look, he wants to praise you like me. He wants to talk, right? He is so young. If we teach him again now, he will learn it soon."

Li Hehua rubbed his eyes and said, "Hmm," "Let's teach Zhang Tieshan how to speak from now on. Shulin is so smart, he will learn it quickly."

Zhang Tieshan assured her: "Of course, my son is so smart, he will learn it right away."

Li Hehua was comforted by him, and the bitterness just now disappeared, replaced by confidence. It's okay, start teaching from now on, Shulin will definitely learn it, he just speaks a few years later than other children.

Li Hehua stepped out of Zhang Tieshan's arms and picked up the bowl again, "Come on, eat quickly, and we will teach him to speak after dinner."

Seeing that she had recovered, Zhang Tieshan raised the corner of his mouth and touched her face, "Okay, I'll teach you after dinner. I'll teach you when you're busy."

Li Hehua nodded, looked at the little guy who was blinking his big eyes at them, and couldn't help but lean over and give him a kiss excitedly.

Her baby must be getting better and better.

When the little guy was kissed, his confusion disappeared, and he grinned. Then he suddenly remembered something, reached out and pulled Li Hehua's hand, then pointed at his father's cheek, silently signaling her to kiss his father too.

Li Hehua was stunned.

"Haha..." Zhang Tieshan laughed out loud and patted the little guy's head in appreciation. His son is really great. He remembered it after teaching him once.

Li Hehua was furious. "Zhang Tieshan, what did you say to him? How could he..."

Zhang Tieshan clenched his right fist, put it to his mouth and coughed lightly, saying: "Well... nothing, I just taught him not to forget his father when he is happy." For example, when his mother kisses him, he should remind her not to forget to kiss his father.

Li Hehua: “…” This shameless guy!
