Xu's mother was horrified. She thought he wouldn't live long. This was unacceptable. She and her husband wanted to watch their little girl get married. How could he not live long?

"Stew two, so we can have more. We can also cook some pheasant eggs at home.

Let’s eat the wild duck eggs tomorrow.”

Xu Ying smiled, knowing that her mother still cared about her health, and took the two pheasants handed to her by her mother.

She took it and went into the kitchen.

Shitou ran in with a keen eye: "Aunt, let me light the fire."

Xu Ying nodded and quickly chopped the pheasant into small pieces.

After the pheasant meat was cut into pieces, Xu Ying asked Shi Tou to light the fire.

"Light the fire with stones!"

When Shitou heard this, he immediately took a match and lit the stove.

Xu Ying put the pot on the stove, waited until the water in the pot dried up, added a spoonful of oil, heated the oil, then added onion, ginger, garlic, bay leaves and tangerine peel and stir-fried.

Wait until the aroma of the spices comes out, pour in the washed pheasant pieces, stir-fry quickly and evenly, add a spoonful of soy sauce and continue to stir-fry.

"Aunt, it smells so good!" Shitou said, tilting his head and swallowing his saliva.

Xu Ying pinched his little face: "It will smell even better later!"

Stir-fry the chicken for a while, pour the prepared radish into the pot, add boiling water, and cook for twenty minutes.

While this was going on, she put the eggs in a pot behind the stove and began to cook them.

After the chicken soup has been simmered for twenty minutes, open the lid of the pot and you will be filled with the rich aroma of meat.

Xu Ying poured all the soaked mushrooms into the pot, covered the pot and continued to simmer.

Shitou sat in front of the stove and kept swallowing his saliva: "Auntie, why do your cooking smell so good?"

Xu Ying was so excited when she was praised: "Because your aunt is so good."

The pheasant soup was cooked for a full hour. When the lid of the pot was opened, the fragrance filled the whole yard.

Not to mention eating it, just smelling it makes people salivate.

"Close the door quickly, close the door, the fragrance is spreading out." Xu's mother shouted anxiously and immediately closed the kitchen door.

Shitou was watching Xu Ying seasoning the pheasant soup in the house, and he almost drooled because of greed: "Aunt, this smells so good, I'm going to drool if I smell it again."

"Look at how useless you are. Hurry up and open the door, take the chicken out, and let's prepare for dinner." Xu Ying said with a smile.

When Shitou heard this, he immediately opened the door.

Xu Ying went straight to the main room with the pheasant soup.

When Xu's mother saw her daughter coming out, she immediately closed the door. The reason was that the chicken soup made by her daughter was so delicious.

What she made before was also delicious, but it was far inferior to what my daughter made.

Mother Xu followed him to the kitchen and brought the cooked corn porridge to the main room.

Father Xu returned from work with his son and daughter-in-law. As soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled a faint fragrance.

Several people's faces were suddenly filled with excitement, and they felt that all the fatigue of the day disappeared in an instant.

"Guiying, we're back." Father Xu shouted loudly.

Xu's mother hurried over and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a head popped out from next door and looked at Xu's mother with curiosity: "Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you make? Why does it smell so good?"

When the woman next door heard this, she immediately showed off her pride and said, "My husband went up the mountain today and found a pheasant. We are having pheasant soup tonight."

Xu's mother immediately pretended to be envious: "Oh, then you are in for a treat tonight."

After entering the yard, Xu's mother looked disgusted: "Look at her, she's just eating meat, what's there to show off?"

"That's right. With the aunt next door being like this, something bad will happen to her family sooner or later." Mrs. Xu followed.

Nowadays, people would hide their good food among themselves, unlike her who would show it off openly.

It's okay this time or twice, but after a long time, people will become jealous and report you.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Brother Xu ran over to please.

"What are you eating? Wash your hands and eat quickly. Your younger sister is cooking tonight and making pheasant soup. She was afraid that it wouldn't be enough for one of you, so she insisted on making two.

"Oh, how come your little sister is so considerate of you? I told you that if you eat your little sister's pheasant, you must remember her kindness, did you hear me?" said Xu's mother with a straight face.

This time, Mrs. Xu was the first to speak out: "Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely remember my younger sister's kindness. I will wash all of her clothes in the future."

Mother Xu curled her lips and said, "You know how good your little sister is."

Mrs. Xu chuckled. Before, she had nothing but clothes to wash for her younger sister. Now that her younger sister gave her chicken to eat, she washed the clothes even more enthusiastically.

"My daughter not only hunted some pheasants for you to eat today, but she also went to the mountain to pick up several bundles of firewood in the afternoon. See? They were all picked up by my daughter." Xu's mother said boastfully.

Brother Xu (eldest brother) and Brother Xu (second oldest brother) were both shocked. Their little sister had changed so much since she fell into the river once.

"Little sister, don't go to the mountain in the future. Just go and collect firewood and stones." Brother Xu said with concern.

Brother Xu nodded and said, "It's not safe for a girl like you to go up the mountain. Next time you go up the mountain, my brother and I will accompany you. We can also collect firewood after work."

Xu Ying knew that they felt sorry for her. She felt touched but also guilty. She hated herself even more for being so stupid in her previous life and hurting the people who loved her the most.

"Daughter, why are you crying? Don't cry, your elder brother and second brother are thinking about you, they are afraid that you will be in danger." Father Xu was sharp-eyed, and when he saw his daughter's eyes rolling, he spoke immediately.

When Xu's mother saw this, she became anxious: "Oh, if she wants to go to the mountain, let her go. Honey, don't cry. You are going to make your father and I sad to death."

Brother Xu was honest to begin with. When he thought about how he had made his little sister cry, he became even more anxious and didn't know what to say: "Little sister, don't, don't cry."

Brother Xu was also stunned. This little sister must be stupid. It would be so much more comfortable to rest at home instead of going to the mountains.

Why is this girl still crying?

"Little sister, if you want to go, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Xu Ying was originally a little touched and didn't want to cry at all, but after being told by her family, she couldn't control her grievance and tears flowed down her eyes: "Mom, I still have to go to the mountain, I want to nourish everyone's body.

You and my father have suffered all our lives for us, and haven't had anything good to eat. I don't know how badly your bodies are damaged.

My second brother and I have caused you a lot of trouble over the years. My second brother has grown up over the years and always gets full work points after work. But I don't know how to work in the fields.

But I don’t want to sit idle either, I want to go up the mountain and find some wild animals for you to eat.”

"It wasn't easy for my sister-in-law to marry into our family all these years. She lived such a good life in her parents' home, and she suffered a lot following my eldest brother. We can't let my sister-in-law regret marrying into this family!

Big brother, you have to be nice to my sister-in-law. She gave birth to two sons for you and helped you raise them. You have to be grateful to her."

Mrs. Xu was so moved that she burst into tears while hugging Xu Ying. She cried and said, "Little sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked down on you for being lazy. I shouldn't have looked down on you for being shameless and ungirly and trying to please Dong Zhiqing."

Mother Xu's eyes widened: "Big brother's wife, what did you say? You actually despise my daughter for being lazy. How shameless!"
