Aunt Xie was a little surprised to see Lin Xiangyi getting up so late, and smiled and said, "Yes, your mother told us, why don't we come over early to see what we need to do?"
"Qingxiao hasn't come back yet. How about you help chop the firewood in the backyard?" Lin Xiangyi said.
"Okay," Aunt Xie said, and took Su Xiaomei to chop firewood.
Xie's mother had just gone to the fields to pick vegetables to stir-fry for lunch. When she came back she saw this scene and was surprised.
Xiangyi is really rude. She is very clear about what she asks people to do. She can't do that.
After all, they are relatives and Aunt Xie is older than her. Even if she paid to invite them, she felt embarrassed to give orders to Aunt Xie so confidently.
Xiangyi has a very good personality.

Xie Qingxiao came back earlier than yesterday, and he and Zhang Pengfei each brought back two large baskets of goods.
As soon as Lin Xiangyi saw Xie Qingxiao coming back, she went back to the house and got out two towels. Xie's father, mother, and aunt Xie had already gathered around to help unload the goods.
Lin Xiangyi walked up to Xie Qingxiao and handed him a towel to wipe his sweat. The weather was too hot now and he would sweat if he did any work.
The other towel was given to Zhang Pengfei.
Zhang Pengfei took it with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome. The wound on your face..." Lin Xiangyi noticed the wound on Zhang Pengfei's face.
Zhang Pengfei touched his face, which was left by the fight with Wang Xiaofeng last night. He said casually: "I fell off my bicycle. It's not a serious injury. I will be fine in two days."
Lin Xiangyi was not blind, and knew at a glance that the wound on his face was not caused by a fall. But seeing him say that, she did not ask any more questions, and said, "Have you had breakfast? There is breakfast left inside, go and eat if you haven't."
"Okay," Zhang Pengfei didn't eat yet and went to the kitchen.
Lin Xiangyi raised her eyes to look at Xie Qingxiao, and saw that Xie Qingxiao was also looking at her. His peach blossom eyes were naturally tender, and those who didn't know would think he was very affectionate.
Lin Xiangyi: "What are you looking at?"
"It looks good on you," Xie Qingxiao replied.
Lin Xiangyi suddenly heard the laughter of Xie's father and mother that they couldn't help but deliberately suppressed. She felt a little embarrassed and twisted Xie Qingxiao's arm, but his arm was covered in sweat and her hand slipped.
Really, why are you being so frivolous in public?
Xie Qingxiao felt very wronged.
After coming back from work, he saw his wife, whom he had been thinking about day and night and who was now married to him, waiting for him at home in a tidy manner and handing him a towel attentively. At that moment, he felt that all the hard work was worth it.
And yet she doesn't allow him to tell the truth?
"How much goods did you get?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
"One hundred and fifty kilograms of duck offal and fifty kilograms of pig intestines," Xie Qingxiao said, "Since Wang Xiaofeng wasn't here, we didn't take that much."
They had originally discussed that if Wang Xiaofeng came, they would sell the goods in three waves and take more.
"Why didn't you come?" Lin Xiangyi just noticed that Wang Xiaofeng was gone.
Speaking of Wang Xiaofeng, Xie Qingxiao's expression faded a little: "If he doesn't want to come, then don't come. Forget about him."
As soon as Lin Xiangyi heard this, she knew there must be some reason that couldn't be said in public, so she said, "Then you go take a rest and have breakfast. I'll go work with my parents first."
"Okay," Xie Qingxiao said.
With three more people working today, we quickly finished processing the duck offal and pig intestines. Because the quantities were large, they needed to be braised in batches.
At around twelve o'clock, they took a break and had lunch.
When Xie Qingxiao was picking up the goods, he saw someone at the meat processing factory slaughtering cattle, so he asked if they were selling any.
He went to the meat processing factory to pick up goods these two days, and the news has spread throughout the factory.
Since a private individual could get so many goods from the factory, everyone thought that he had an extraordinary background, so the person in charge was of course willing to sell to him.
Xie Qingxiao bought two kilograms of fish, and although he paid according to the market price, he didn't need a ticket. He also bought two ribs.
I cooked two leg bones and a pound of beef at noon, and saved a pound of beef for dinner.
Aunt Xie and Su Xiaomei were both shocked. Beef is a rare commodity nowadays and is rarely sold in the market. Even if it is sold, it is extremely expensive, two or three times more expensive than pork. Most people can't afford to eat it.
They can hardly even eat pork at home, but today they came to help with the work and not only did they get paid, they even got to eat beef?
It’s still so delicious?
Xie's father and mother had never eaten beef and didn't know how to cook it. Xie Qingxiao, needless to say, was only a half-baked cook.
The beef was made by Lin Xiangyi. Considering that only one pound was made and it would not be enough for so many people, she added potatoes to stew it together.
The potato cubes are soft, sweet and the beef is tender. They have absorbed the rich soup and are full of flavor. The soup is also unique, rich but not greasy.
Although the rice was steamed by Xie's mother, there were guests at home today, so she used a very small proportion of sweet potatoes when steaming the rice.
Served with the fragrant stewed beef with potatoes, it makes you want to swallow your tongue.
When Xie's mother learned that Xie Qingxiao bought beef, she was heartbroken. She felt that Xie Qingxiao spent the money he earned recklessly and was not thrifty at all.
The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt that it was worth it. This beef deserves such a high price!
After eating and drinking bone soup, everyone was full!
After eating such a good meal, everyone worked even harder, especially Zhang Pengfei and Aunt Xie, who, after finishing the work assigned to them by the Xie family, took the initiative to ask if there was any other work to do.
The next thing they do is to braise the food and watch the heat. They don’t need to do anything else.
After they cleaned the utensils used to process the offal, they also cleaned Xie's house inside and out, filled the water tanks, and even chopped firewood for tomorrow.
