Chapter 101: Hard on the lips, soft on the heart
"Mom, is it delicious?" When Jiang's second wife saw Jiang's mother eating, she immediately walked up to ask.
After eating, Jiang's mother nodded in agreement, "It is indeed better than the meat we usually eat."
Li Yiyi smiled and said, "It seems that everyone is used to eating this ham, so my five pieces of ham were not bought in vain."
She pointed to a corner of the kitchen where four and a half hams were placed, half of which was already in the pot.
Their eyes followed the direction she pointed and saw the four and a half pieces of ham, which were conservatively estimated to weigh about ten pounds each.
"So many!" Mrs. Jiang exclaimed.
Li Yiyi smiled and said, "The meat there is cheaper than here, so we bought a little more. And because that person knows Jiang Hong, he didn't want our ticket."
When they heard that they didn’t need to pay for the tickets, the three women present felt that it was worth buying them.
After the ham and cabbage stew were out of the pot, Li Yiyi fried another vegetable and added a bowl of egg drops before closing the pot.
As soon as Jiang's mother saw that her third daughter-in-law had cooked the meal, she immediately went to the yard to call her eldest son and second son who were resting to come in and serve the meal.
After the food was served and placed on the table in the yard, the whole family sat together and started eating.
It was a rare opportunity to have such delicious food, so Jiang's father even invited his wife to have a drink.
As expected, at today's dinner table, the braised ham and cabbage was loved by the whole family.
Brother Jiang Da Ge and Brother Jiang Er even mixed the soup with their rice and ate up all of it.
After lunch, the whole family sat together and chatted.
Only then did the two elders of the Jiang family ask their third daughter-in-law about their youngest son.
"He is fine now. He can eat and carry out tasks. He is in good health. You two don't have to worry about him." Li Yiyi told the two elders the good news.
"Grandpa, grandma, Third Aunt said she is going to Third Uncle's place and won't be back for a long time." Just then, Jiang Jianshe's somewhat depressed voice suddenly interrupted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yiyi, who was sitting in the crowd, was immediately surrounded by the gazes of everyone in the Jiang family.
"Really?" Jiang's mother asked a little excitedly.
Li Yiyi looked at everyone, raised the corner of her mouth slightly and nodded gently, "It's true, I have discussed it with Jiang Hong. After I finish dealing with things here, I will take the two children with me to join the army."
Jiang's mother slapped her thigh happily and said, "Okay, it's good to follow the army. A couple should live together to keep their relationship long-lasting. You two are still young, and it's not good to be separated for many years."
Li Yiyi looked at the other members of Chiang's family, and they were all happy for her to join the army.
The family sat together and chatted for nearly an hour before dispersing.
Each of them happily returned to their rooms holding their gifts.
Li Yiyi was also preparing to return to her house.
After Jiang's mother found out, she handed her the key and said, "I guessed you might come back soon. I asked your eldest and second sisters-in-law to come over and clean your place regularly. They should also take out the quilts and dry them out every one or two days. You can rest when you go back."
"Thank you, Mom, and my sisters-in-law." Li Yiyi felt warm in her heart after hearing these words from Jiang's mother.
When she first came here, she felt a little uneasy, but now, after getting along with this family for a long time and discovering their good points, she suddenly felt that coming here now was not a bad thing. At least here she has a family who cares for her and a man who loves her.
After returning home with her two children, Li Yiyi smiled warmly at the clean house. Without doing anything, she took the two children into the room to take a nap.
She didn't get enough rest on the train, and now she was finally home. Smelling the scent of home, she was so sleepy that she almost couldn't open her eyes.
The mother and her two children slept until almost evening before waking up.
After waking up, she dressed the two children. Just as she had finished tidying herself up, she heard Jiang Jianshe's voice calling from outside the door.
"Come in." She called outside.
After a while, Jiang Jianshe walked in.
"Aunt San, grandma told me to tell you that you don't have to cook tonight and you can go over there for dinner." Jiang Jianshe said.
Li Yiyi smiled and replied, "Okay, I understand."
When she went there, she brought a bottle of rice wine bought from the Space Supermarket.
"Aunt San, we are having chicken at home tonight. Grandma killed an old hen among the chickens." On the way there, Jiang Jianshe couldn't stop telling her with a happy look on his face.
When Li Yiyi heard this, she thought of the delicious soup of the old hen and started to crave it. "You're making me want to drink the soup too."
The three children who were walking with her heard her greedy words, and three cute giggles rang out on the quiet country road.
At the same time, in a cowshed at the end of the village.
Hua Qiubai was working while stretching his neck to look at the way he got here.
Hua Heng looked at his father's little action, and the corners of his mouth curved up, "Dad, don't look at it. It's getting dark today. Even if Yiyi wants to come over, she probably won't come so soon. She probably won't come until it's completely dark."
When Hua Qiubai heard his son's reminder, his face turned red and he said insincerely, "I'm not checking to see if she's here. I'm just looking over there. Is that not okay?"
Hua Heng looked at the stubborn old man with a funny face, and agreed with him, "Okay, okay, you are not waiting for her, you are watching the road, okay."
This old man has a hard mouth but a soft heart.
At Old Jiang's house, when Li Yiyi came over with her three children, Mrs. Jiang and others were bringing dishes to the yard.
The most eye-catching dish on the table is the old hen soup.
The chicken soup is golden yellow and smells very sweet.
"Come on, sit down quickly, we'll be eating soon." Mrs. Jiang saw her coming and shouted with a smile.
Seeing that everyone here was busy, Li Yiyi rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll come and help."
At this time, Jiang's mother came out of the kitchen and saw her action. She immediately stopped her and said, "No, your eldest and second sisters-in-law have already prepared the meal. You don't have to do anything. Just sit down and eat."
"Yes, we have done it. You just need to do it, Third sister-in-law." Jiang Ersao also came out at this time and said with a smile.
Seeing that they all said so, Li Yiyi had no choice but to say shamelessly, "Okay, I'll just be a hands-off boss and cook tonight."
When Jiang's mother heard her words, she immediately corrected her, "What do you mean by hands-off? If it weren't for you, who knows what would become of the third son over there. You are a great contributor to our family. Your father and I are grateful to you."
The chicken soup that Lao Jiang's family made today was boiled for three hours before the fire was turned off. The chicken meat and bones were separated as soon as they were picked up, and the soup was full of the essence of the chicken. It tasted fresh and delicious.
During dinner, Li Yiyi drank two bowls of soup and then stopped. If she hadn’t been so hungry, she would have really wanted to drink one more bowl. It had been a long time since she had tasted such delicious farm chicken.
