Xiao Chengda originally had some doubts about Qin Taoxian's purpose of preparing food for Xiao Qiang, but when he saw her crying so sadly at the dinner table, he realized that she was just an ignorant woman who thought that being good to the child meant making delicious food for her, which led to her neglecting the child's health.
Maybe in the countryside, having enough food and warm clothes is what they think is good.
"Okay, the child will understand your painstaking efforts. She's so fat, it's good for her to starve herself to lose some weight. But you and Wanqing should also eat something delicious occasionally. Seeing that you haven't gained any weight at all, leave all the delicious food for Xiao Qiang."
Qin Taoxian nodded: "Don't worry, Chengda, I will take good care of myself and Wanqing."
"When Qiang'er goes to school on Monday, I'll buy some spare ribs and make you some pork rib braised noodles. My pork rib braised noodles are delicious, I guarantee you'll like them."
She thought of him in everything, and Xiao Chengda felt that life was very enjoyable.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Remember to buy more. Wan looks so thin, so give her a few more ribs tomorrow."
Qin Taoxian nodded: "Okay."
Everyone finished eating, and Qin Taoxian went outside to wash the dishes. Huang Wanqing got rid of Xiao Qiang and sneaked into the kitchen: "Mom, why did you suddenly ask her to lose weight? She's not ugly, what's my business if she loses weight?"
Xiao Qiang is Gu Xiufang's daughter, how could she be really ugly? Only if she gets fat will Huang Wanqing have a chance.
Qin Taoxian signaled her to keep her voice down, carefully closed the door, and said to Huang Wanqing, "I will definitely pretend to force Xiao Qiang to lose weight, but I won't let her really lose weight."
"Do you remember how Huo Xiaoman got pregnant?"
Xiao Chengda had complained to them at the dinner table about what Huo Xiaoman had done, and Huang Wanqing certainly remembered: "I heard she took veterinary medicine."
Qin Taoxian nodded. "Yes, veterinary medicine. Go back tomorrow and ask your aunt to get some pig feed. If that doesn't work, just buy some. That stuff is not good. If you eat it, you will definitely gain weight easily. Let's feed it to Xiao Qiang. I guarantee that she won't be able to lose weight even if she wants to."
"What a good idea, Mom!" Huang Wanqing also guessed another benefit. "Then I'll persuade Xiao Qiang to lose weight. Let her starve and still gain weight. She'll definitely come back complaining about being hungry. Dad will think she's just talking nonsense and indirectly dislike her!"
Qin Taoxian looked at her daughter proudly: "As expected of my daughter, you think the same as me."
In this way, Xiao Qiang is completely ruined.
Outside the door, Xiao Qiang vaguely heard her own name and smiled secretly.
Mom and sister must be discussing behind her back how to give her a surprise!
It’s so lucky to have such a mother and sister.
After Qin Taoxian and Huang Wanqing finished their discussion, they washed the dishes and opened the door to see Xiao Qiang. The mother and daughter were so scared that their faces turned several shades paler in an instant.
"Xiao Qiang...when did you get here?" Huang Wanqing was young and not very patient, her voice trembling.
Xiao Qiang smiled sheepishly: "You just got in, what are you doing in there?"
She must not show that she heard anything, otherwise it would not be a surprise.
Xiao Qiang is not very smart. If she really heard something, she would definitely not speak to you in a nice tone. Qin Taoxian and Huang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm washing the dishes. Come on, sister, let's go for a walk outside." Huang Wanqing took Xiao Qiang away as if nothing had happened.
Everyone was having a good time here, but the atmosphere at the Xiao family was rather depressing. Gu Xiufang was so angry when she returned that she almost fainted.
This is a heart disease, and the words of outsiders are of no use. Jiang Zao will try his best to make some delicious food and drinks to make her happier.
At noon, I had stewed egg custard, pickled eggplant, a braised fish, and a bowl of egg drop soup.
"Mom, get up and eat something."
When the meal was ready, Jiang Zao came over and called her.
Gu Xiufang opened her eyes and felt a little better when she saw Jiang Zao: "Why didn't you call me when you were cooking? I felt a little dizzy and fell asleep."
Also a little nauseous.
Jiang Zao poured her a glass of warm water: "Drink some water before eating."
"I didn't cook the meal myself. Shuisheng helped me. He even lit the fire and peeled garlic for me."
Gu Xiufang nodded, but in fact she couldn't drink it. Her beloved daughter-in-law had already passed out, so she couldn't refuse to drink it.
"That's good, otherwise you'd be tired of cooking for yourself."
After drinking water, everyone ate together.
No one mentioned Xiao Qiang, giving her time to digest these things slowly. After a few days, Gu Xiufang slowly had a smile on her face. If she arranged her time a little fuller, everything would be fine.
In the blink of an eye, it was August, the hottest time of the year. There were showers one after another, and the rainstorms were mixed with thunder. Every time it rained and thundered in this area, white mushrooms would emerge from the soil. They were called thunder nests. There were also various other kinds of mushrooms in the woods, and the variety was particularly rich.
It happened that it rained on Thursday and Friday, so Tao Yanqiu, who hadn't seen Jiang Zao for a long time, asked her to go mushroom picking on the weekend.
Jiang Zao made an appointment with her to go mushroom picking on Saturday morning while the weather was fine.
Jiang Zao was really lucky. In more than an hour, the basket was full and the plastic bag he brought for emergency was also full.
There were potato mushrooms, small gray mushrooms, thunder nest mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, and everything else. The afternoon was still gloomy, and Jiang Zao and Tao Yanqiu continued to go up the mountain to pick. This time she brought a big silk bag. Don’t you believe it can be filled up this time?
Filled with...
Not only did she pick a lot, but Tao Yanqiu also picked a lot.
Tao Yanqiu wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Zao'er, I've noticed that I can always find mushrooms and wild vegetables when I follow you. You're so lucky!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Zao squatting on the ground, digging in the soil with his hands. After a while, he pulled out a wild ginseng as long as a palm.
"sky!"
Tao Yanqiu covered her mouth: "Zao'er, you are..."
What good luck!
Jiang Zao was not surprised. The jade pendant on her neck did not have any great functions, but it always brought her some luck and made her successful in everything she did.
"Hey, it's okay. It's getting late, let's go back quickly."
Following Jiang Zao Bai to get so many mushrooms, Tao Yanqiu was not jealous of Jiang Zao at all: "Okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
Jiang Zao wrapped the wild ginseng in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket, then went down with her carrying the basket.
There were a lot of people picking mushrooms on the mountain. When they saw how much they had, they were all envious: "Where did you two find so many?"
"I'm curious too. I've been going up the mountain at four or five in the morning these past few days, and I've never picked so many mushrooms. They must be incredibly lucky."
They didn't know each other well, so there was no need to exchange pleasantries. Jiang Zao dragged Tao Yanqiu down the mountain and went home to pour the mushrooms on the kitchen floor.
Xiao Shuisheng has been quite busy lately, spending weekends at the research institute. When he came back that night and discovered Jiang Zao had picked so many mushrooms, he thought there had been a mushroom outbreak on the mountain. "There weren't so many mushrooms in previous years, were there?"
Jiang Zao uncorked the light cord and took out the wild ginseng: "Do you want to soak it in wine, give it to someone, or sell it?"
