Chapter 25 Autumn Leaves Arrive



Father Xu was also a little angry. No matter how bad his daughter was, she was still his sweetheart.

Brother Xu saw that his mother was angry and was afraid that his wife would be beaten, so he quickly stood in front of her and said, "Mom, that's not what she meant."

"What does that mean?" Xu's mother was furious. Even if her daughter was lazy, no one could tell her.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I know I was wrong. I was blind and couldn't see the good in my little sister.

I think my little sister is not only good-looking, but also well-educated. Most importantly, she cooks delicious food and knows how to love us. My little sister is the best." Mrs. Xu quickly explained, wiping away her tears.

Only then did Xu's mother look much better.

Xu Ying knew that her sister-in-law was dissatisfied with her in the past, but that was indeed her fault, so she didn't care at all what her sister-in-law said.

Now she corrects it.

"Mom, let's eat quickly. The chicken soup won't taste good if it's left for a while longer."

Xu Ying changed the subject.

Only then did Xu's mother quickly take her daughter into the house.

Father Xu led the others into the house.

As soon as I walked into the house, the aroma of chicken soup instantly hit my nose.

"Close the door." Xu's mother said, pressing the lid of the pot.

Brother Xu closed the door immediately.

Only then did Xu's mother lift the lid of the pot, and a particularly mellow aroma instantly filled the room, making people's appetite grow.

The large ceramic pot was full of chicken and radish. Xu's mother used a spoon to push away the golden chicken soup and oil droplets on the pheasant pieces, and the snow-white soup suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Hurry up and get a bowl of soup." Xu's mother said as she served her daughter a bowl full of chicken pieces.

"Mom, I want to eat radishes. Radishes are delicious. I also want this soup. This chicken soup has been cooked for a long time. All the nutrition and taste of the chicken are in the soup."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu's mother immediately picked up the spoon and added a large spoonful of chicken soup to Xu Ying's bowl.

There was a big ceramic pot of chicken soup, the quantity was particularly large, a family of eight people each had a full bowl, and there was still a lot left in the pot.

"Shi Tou, go take the pheasant eggs out of the pot and give one to each person," Xu Ying ordered.

When Shitou heard this, he ran happily to get the eggs.

Pheasant eggs are relatively small and can be eaten in one bite.

After Xu's father ate the pheasant eggs, he blew on the chicken soup in the bowl, and then slurped the pheasant soup down.

His whole body trembled, and his mouth was filled with the delicious taste of chicken soup.

"Our daughter's cooking skills are amazing! This pheasant soup is the best I've ever tasted."

Although Xu's mother was a little depressed, she had to admit the fact. Fortunately, she was her own daughter. If others were so capable, she would be jealous to death.

"I think so too. Our daughter is born to be a chef."

When Mr. Xu heard this, he was moved, but he didn't say anything.

Big Brother Xu and Second Brother Xu were slurping the chicken soup, closing their eyes with a look of enjoyment as they savored the delicious taste.

Mrs. Xu took a sip of the soup and then fed her youngest son a spoonful.

Shitou was gnawing on the chicken with big mouthfuls, looking very happy.

The food they eat today is better than what they eat during the Chinese New Year.

"Aunt, can we eat like this every day from now on?" Shi Tou said this.

Brother Xu and Brother Xu looked at Xu Ying excitedly and were very curious.

Xu's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Eating it every day is just a dream!

The pheasants on the mountain will be anxious after hearing this. You are feeding them so much that they will have no offspring."

But there are no such good days. I am satisfied if we can have it once a month."

The Xu family ate heartily, and not a drop of soup was left from the big pot of chicken soup.

After the meal, I gained a lot of goodwill.

Brother Xu and Brother Xu both ate so much that their bellies were round and they burped.

Mrs. Xu was also a little full, so she burped as well, then quickly cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Brother Xu left the house and saw that there was not much water left in the water tank, so he picked up his bucket and went to the riverside in the village to fetch water.

Mother Xu was a little full from eating so she walked around in the yard to digest the food.

Xu Ying ate a little too much today, so she took Shitou and Huzi out for a walk under the moonlight.

As soon as Xu Ying left the village, she was stopped by a girl: "Yingying, is your second brother at home? I have something urgent to discuss with him."

Xu Ying looked at the voice and immediately became excited: "Sister Qiuye, you are looking for my second brother. Wait a minute, I will go and call my second brother out."

Xu Qiuye smiled at her and stood there waiting for her to come back.

Shitou and Huzi stood there and looked at Qiuye: "Aunt Qiuye, what do you want to do with my second uncle?"

Qiu Ye blushed slightly and said, "I want to ask him something."

Shitou said, somewhat curious about the relationship between her and his second brother: "Aunt Qiuye, do you like my second uncle? My second uncle likes you very much."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Qiuye's face instantly turned red, and at the same time, a burst of joy burst out from her heart. She suppressed her excitement and asked: "Shi Tou, you can't say this nonsense. How do you know that your second uncle likes me?"

Shitou opened his mouth and smiled, "My second uncle said so. My second uncle said he wanted to marry you."

"Qiu Ye, do you have something to talk to me about?" Brother Xu scratched his head and walked over embarrassedly.

Xu Ying waved to Shitou and Huzi, and the three of them hid aside and watched.

Xu Qiuye looked at the three of them and didn't dare to speak.

Xu Ying tactfully took her two nephews and walked along the opposite road.

But she was a little excited in her heart. Sister Qiuye came to see her second brother so late at night. She wouldn't believe that there was nothing wrong.

Sister Qiuye and her second brother can be considered as childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Later, Sister Qiuye was admitted to high school and went to high school.

Her family was not well off, and her second brother didn't want to go to school. In addition, her second uncle's cousin had been in a car accident at that time, and her father used all the family's money to pay for her cousin's medical treatment.

The family had no extra money to support my second brother's studies, so he dropped out of school and started working on the land.

Sister Qiuye was a good student. After graduation, her father found someone and she went to work in the supply and marketing cooperative. Now she is a formal worker and earns 38 yuan a month.

There is food distribution every month, and various tickets are also available.

Even Qiuye's parents are regular workers at the town's textile factory.

When they were young, they often played together. Later, Qiuye went to high school and Qiuye's father was allocated a house in the factory area, so the family moved to the factory in the town.

Although the house is small and the family is crowded together, it is still very face-saving to tell others about it.

Qiu Ye's father is a man with high aspirations. He wants Qiu Ye to find a family of equal status in the town and he doesn't think highly of Brother Xu, a peasant.

So Brother Xu rarely contacted Qiu Ye, but their feelings for each other were still there.

This time, Qiu Ye came to see him late at night, which made Brother Xu very panicked. He was afraid that something had happened to Qiu Ye.

Qiu Ye and Brother Xu walked towards a stone pillar nearby. She glanced at Brother Xu and stammered, "My mother's colleague arranged a marriage for me.
