"Aunt, I bought the pork, and this duck was given to us by the factory. Please decide what to do with it."
Mother Zhao felt somewhat embarrassed when she saw Xu Ying. She had wrongly blamed the girl in the afternoon. Fortunately, she was not angry, otherwise what would she do if she took her anger out on her daughter?
Looking at Xu Ying, she was very polite: "Why don't we cook the pork tonight and the duck tomorrow.
When are you leaving tomorrow? I will kill you before you leave."
Mrs. Xu seems to be fine now, as if nothing happened, but Xu Ying is still somewhat worried. She plans to observe her here for a day and ask for help from someone before leaving.
"Let's go tomorrow afternoon. Take the last bus."
Mother Zhao wished they could stay longer so she could spend more time with her daughter. She nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's kill the duck tomorrow at noon."
For dinner, Zhao's mother fried pork and made it into a big stew. The pot was full of several pounds of pork. The Zhao family worked in a meat processing factory, so there was no shortage of pork offal.
Zhao's mother added pork liver and large intestines to the rice, and everyone ate the whole pot of rice with their mouths drooling.
Mrs. Xu felt that the meal was not so delicious and not as good as the one cooked by her sister-in-law.
Especially when she smelled the pig's large intestine, she felt her stomach churning. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and ran to the kitchen to retch.
Zhao's mother looked puzzled: "What's going on? It can't be another headache. This meat tastes so good, why is he vomiting?"
Xu Ying's face lit up, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, ran into the kitchen, and asked Zhao's mother curiously, "Wife, my sister-in-law is not pregnant, is she? She was like this when she gave birth to Shitou and Huzi."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao's mother's face suddenly cleared up, and she patted her thigh with a smile on her face: "Oh, this can't be true pregnancy!"
"The doctor today really couldn't find out what's wrong, so I have to go again.
Lingzi, hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
It was easy for Zhao's mother to say, but Mrs. Xu had no appetite at all and felt like vomiting as soon as she smelled the pork.
Although Xu Ying had never been pregnant, she helped others and took care of pregnant women in her later lives. She felt particularly understanding when she saw them vomiting and unable to eat anything.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat anything? I'll take you to see and buy some."
When Zhao's mother heard this, she quickly stopped them and said, "It's such a waste of money to eat out. Lingzi, what do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it for you."
Mrs. Xu shook her head. She had no appetite at all when she smelled the pork.
Xu Ying was worried that her sister-in-law wouldn't eat and what would happen if the baby in her belly got hungry?
"I'm going to go out and see if I can buy some fruit or something to sweeten my mouth." After saying that, she got up and left.
Mother Zhao was a little surprised to see this scene. This was completely different from what her daughter had said before. She winked at her daughter and said, "Is your sister-in-law really so nice to you?"
Mrs. Xu raised her lips and said, "Didn't I say last time that my sister-in-law is now sensible, kind to me, and more filial to my parents-in-law.
So, you really don’t have to worry, I’m at my husband’s house now, and I’m living a good life!”
Zhao's mother was relieved to hear this. It is said that a mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. Her daughter was marrying so far away, and she was worried every day that she would be bullied by her in-laws. Now that she sees that her daughter's sister-in-law treats her so well, she feels relieved.
"People's hearts are earned. If they are nice to you, you have to be nicer to them too. Do you hear me?" Zhao's mother looked at her daughter and taught her.
Mrs. Xu nodded quickly.
Xu Ying went out for a while, actually just took a walk outside, then took out the necessary fruits of this season from the space and came back.
She took a lot of things in big and small bags, including winter dates, pears, apples, peaches, and grapes, all of which were the best in the space, and each one was beautiful and sweet.
"Sister-in-law, see if there is anything you want to eat." Xu Ying put a pile of fruits on the table.
Zhao Shufeng's eyes widened as he looked at the fruit: "So much fruit, this must cost a lot of money."
His sister is having a really good life these days.
Mother Zhao was even more surprised: "You are too honest, girl. Why did you buy so much when you bought less? No matter how precious your sister-in-law is, she doesn't need to eat so much."
What kind of family is this?
Xu Ying smiled and said indifferently: "As long as my sister-in-law likes it, see which one she wants to eat."
Seeing Xu Ying still wanting to wash the fruit for her daughter, Zhao's mother felt sorry for her: "I'll wash it later. You should eat quickly. Don't be hungry."
The daughter of her in-laws is also a treasure in the hands of others. She dare not let her own daughter always order others around.
This girl is so kind.
Mrs. Xu smelled that the smell of pork in the air had dissipated a lot. Now she finally had some appetite. She looked at the grapes and winter dates and said, "Mom, I want to eat this."
Mother Zhao said with a doting look on her face: "Okay, okay, okay."
People's hearts are changeable. Xu Ying is so good to her daughter that Zhao's mother is deeply touched.
Father Zhao did the same. He looked at Mother Zhao and waved, "What delicious food do we have at home? Bring it out and give it to Yingying."
Mother Zhao thought about it and realized that she still had two bottles of malted milk, some peach cakes, and a few bottles of meat sauce from the meat processing factory in her cupboard.
She hurried back into the house and emptied the cabinet: "Yingying, you can eat all of this. My children are grown up and don't need it."
Yang Shufeng's face suddenly turned bitter when he saw this scene. He was one year younger than Xu Ying. What happened? Wasn't he worthy of eating? Xu Ying felt the enthusiasm of Zhao's mother, and her heart was also warm: "Auntie, you don't need to, we have these at home, leave them for brother Shufeng to eat."
When Yang Shufeng heard her words, he immediately looked uncomfortable, shook his head and said, "Why should a boy like me eat these? Girls should be spoiled. Take it back and eat it slowly."
"Wow, quite tsundere." Xu Ying thought to herself.
"Then let me get a few bottles of meat sauce. I haven't tasted the meat sauce from the meat processing factory yet!" Xu Ying wanted to try it, and it would be best if she could find a way to make money.
Zhao's mother smiled and agreed: "Then I'll pack it for you first."
After dinner, Zhao's mother took her to the house and said, "You can stay here tonight. Your sister-in-law and I will stay in the same room. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to chat."
Xu Ying understood and nodded.
Seeing how considerate she was, Zhao's mother was even happier. Oh, no wonder her daughter and her mother-in-law treated this girl like a treasure.
If it was her daughter, she would be willing to treat her as a treasure.
Beautiful, sensible and capable at work.
When Zhao's mother was about to leave, Xu Ying asked, "Auntie, do you know a girl named Cheng Yinglan?"
When Zhao's mother heard the name, she felt it was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
She shook her head: "I don't know her. Is she from our compound?"
"No, but she's also from this county." Xu Ying asked just in the hope that she would get away with it, and she wasn't too disappointed that she didn't know her.
Mother Zhao left the house, still thinking about the name.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she remembered that Zhao's mother ran towards Xu Ying's room, but found that the lights were off, so she could only plan to talk about it tomorrow.
