The dumplings were ready quickly and they ate them first.
"It's delicious," Aunt Zhao said in surprise.
"Isn't it delicious? Today's dumplings were made by Xiangyi, she is a very good cook," Xie's mother ate a dumpling and said with a smile:
"From July last year to now, I think I have gained about 20 kilograms by eating her food. I also learned how to cook from her."
"Mom, have you gained twenty pounds?" Lin Xiangyi was surprised to hear that, because Xie's mother didn't look fat.
"I really gained 20 kilograms. I weighed myself on the scale in the workshop yesterday." There is a big scale in the workshop.
"Your mother was too thin before, and you probably couldn't tell she's gained weight," Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "She was so thin before that she looked like a bag of bones, but now she looks fleshy and has plenty of energy and blood!"
"Isn't it?" Gao Shengnan looked at Xie's mother and said in surprise: "I found that my aunt seems to be a lot younger than before."
Mother Xie couldn't help but curl her lips: "How is this possible? How can someone get younger as they get older? Shengnan, you just know how to coax me!"
"I really didn't lie to you!" Gao Shengnan cried out: "Xiang Yi, just tell me, is it true?"
Lin Xiangyi looked at Xie's mother and agreed: "It seems that she does look younger than before!"
"The children didn't coax you. If your energy and blood are sufficient and your mentality is good, you will naturally look younger," Aunt Zhao agreed.
Xie's mother finally believed it. That's right, she is in a very good mood now.
Gao Shengnan looked at Xie's mother and became more and more anxious: "Aunt, do you often eat that malted milk powder or something like that? Is that stuff really useful? Is it expensive? If it works, I'll buy two cans for my mother to try."
Her mother was even more malnourished than Xie's mother before her.
"It works!" Xie's mother said immediately. Although her current condition was not entirely due to the milk powder and malted milk, those things did have some uses.
"I don't need it, Shengnan, don't waste money, I'm eating very well now!" Aunt Zhao said hurriedly, fearing that her daughter would waste money.
Mother Xie now looks at Aunt Zhao as if she were looking at herself a few months ago. She was the same then, afraid of wasting money and refusing to drink. Later, as the family business got better and better, and she knew that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi didn't lack that little money, she slowly let go and drank more.
"Sister, Shengnan is a filial son. This is also her intention. She will be relieved if you are in good health. Don't refuse," Xie's mother advised:
"Although that thing is expensive, you know what, it's still very effective. I used to be a light sleeper and would be woken up by the slightest noise. Now I drink a glass of milk before going to bed, and my sleep is much better. I feel more energetic during the day!"
Gao Shengnan had originally thought of buying it after she got her salary, but after hearing this, she felt that she should buy it now: "Xiangyi, where did you buy the milk powder? Can you bring a can back for me later?"
"Okay, I have an unopened can in my room. I'll give it to you later, aunt. You can try one first," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
A few people were talking and laughing, and Xie Qingxiao also came back on a bicycle.
After negotiating the business deal with Jackie Chan, he felt a lot more relaxed and was able to go home on time for dinner these past few nights.
But today, when he entered the village, he was sensitive enough to notice something strange. The villagers passing by looked at him strangely and whispered to each other.
The sound was quite loud. Xie Qingxiao had good hearing and could vaguely hear something:
"I used to wonder why the second son of the Xie family, who has such a bad temper, married a gentle and kind daughter-in-law like Lin Xiangyi. It turns out that his wife only looks gentle and kind, and she is not provoked. If she is provoked, her cruelty will be comparable to that of the second son of the Xie family!"
"Isn't it? When I saw her holding the hoe today, I thought I saw Xie Qingxiao. I was scared to death!"
"There are two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. Lin Xiangyi and Xie Qingxiao are the same kind of people at heart. Xie Qingxiao is cruel on the outside, while Lin Xiangyi is cruel at heart! This kind of person is even more terrifying. If you provoke her, she will fight you with her life!"
"Ah? Really?"
"How can it not be true? Even if she is not cruel, she must be very scheming. Look, after she married into the Xie family, who in the Xie family is not obedient to her? Xie Qingxiao is about to treat her like a treasure!"
…
Xie Qingxiao didn't care about these people's sarcasm. He and Lin Xiangyi were not RMB, and it was impossible for them to be liked by everyone. Even if he blocked the mouths of these people, they would still talk behind his back.
He was more concerned about——
hoe?
Xie Qingxiao remembered that the workshop was hiring workers today, his heart sank, and he quickened his pace to go home.
The first person he saw when he got home was Xie's mother. She came over to open the door for him with a bowl of rice and a dumpling in her mouth.
He saw the scratches and bruises on her face and neck, and his face sank: "Mom, what happened to the wound on your face?"
Mother Xie was eating so happily that she forgot about the wound on her face and said hurriedly, "It's okay, just some skin injuries, nothing serious."
"Who hurt you? Did someone hit you?" Xie Qingxiao said in a gloomy voice: "Where is my wife?"
"I'm here," Lin Xiangyi heard Xie Qingxiao's voice and hurried out: "You're back? We made dumplings tonight, are you hungry? I'll serve you some."
Xie Qingxiao rarely ignored Lin Xiangyi's words. He scanned her body with sharp eyes. Seeing that her face was not injured, and Aunt Zhao and Gao Shengnan behind her were also fine, he turned his eyes back to Xie's mother and asked again in a stern voice: "Mom, what happened to the wound on your body?"
Dayou knew who hurt his mother, and he was going to kill that person.
A little scary.
Mother Xie was a little panicked. The delicious dumplings didn't smell good anymore, so she said hurriedly:
"Ah Xiao, don't get excited, my injury is really nothing! I just had a fight with the old lady from the Lu family next door, but she didn't get any better, and I beat her too, and she was hurt worse than me!"
Then he said, “You’re hurt more seriously than I am,” very harshly, as if he was afraid that Xie Qingxiao wouldn’t believe it.
"Yes, mother and that old lady Lu had a fight! We have already resolved the matter," Lin Xiangyi also said, and tried to pull Xie Qingxiao: "Don't be angry, it's too scary when you are angry. People who know you know that you are concerned about mother, and those who don't know you think you want to teach mother a lesson!"
Aunt Zhao and Gao Shengnan didn't dare to say a word.
Xie's mother also nodded quickly. In the past, people outside said that Xie Qingxiao was scary and they were all afraid of him.
As Xie Qingxiao's biological mother, although she also thinks that he has a bad temper, she is not afraid of him.
But just now, Xie Qingxiao's appearance really made her a little scared.
If he hadn't said those words of concern for her, she would have thought he was going to punch her just by looking at his expression.
Xie Qingxiao: "..."
He relaxed his expression: "Mom, I didn't mean that..."
"I know, you just care about me," Xie's mother said with a smile. After she realized what was happening, she was still very happy that her son cared about her so much.
"But mom is really fine, don't worry, I applied some medicine and she will be fine soon! Today's dumplings were made by Xiangyi, they are still hot, go eat them quickly, I have to send some dumplings to the village chief's house."
Xie Qingxiao was not in a hurry to eat dumplings and was pulled back to the house by Lin Xiangyi.
