Chicken stew, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and spicy rabbit meat.

The three dishes were not ready yet, but the whole yard was filled with fragrance.

Grandma Zhang now believed what her daughter said. She sat in the yard and tried hard to swallow her saliva.

Oh my god, why does it smell so good? I’m so greedy. I’ve never been so greedy in my entire life.

Not to mention Grandma Zhang was greedy, the two families next door were in trouble.

Smelling such a delicious aroma, the two families stretched their heads over the wall with great curiosity. When they saw Xu's mother sitting in the yard, they immediately understood what was going on.

"I was wondering why I smelled such a nice scent, it turns out Guiying is back."

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Well, we can't come back empty-handed, so we bought some meat.

My daughter is a good cook. If a piece of meat is cooked by me, it will taste ordinary. But if it is cooked by my daughter, it will taste delicious. "

At the end, Xu's mother almost jumped up. Oh, it's so great to have a great daughter. She can show off as much as she wants.

After hearing this, the neighbors thought that Xu's mother was bragging. Everyone knew that Guiying's daughter was spoiled and couldn't do anything, so how could she cook?

But this fragrance is really good.

Just when they were wondering who cooked the meal, they saw a little girl coming out of the kitchen.

"Grandma, the remaining two dishes will be ready soon. When will my grandpa and my uncle come back?" Xu Ying came out carrying a big pot of chicken stew, the aroma was even more fragrant.

The two families next door looked at Xu Ying, their eyes widened in surprise as big as gongs: "This, this is really Xu Ying.

How come you can cook after not seeing you for a year! "

Xu's mother boasted again: "Oh, my daughter is as smart as me, she has a good brain and can learn anything.

I'm not bragging, my daughter's cooking skills are second to none in the world, you don't know how many times she cooked for us..."

Mother Xu boasted for a full thirty minutes, and even when Grandpa Zhang and Uncle Zhang came back, washed their hands and prepared to eat, she still hadn't finished.

"Sister, why are you back?"

"Oh, don't interrupt!" Xu's mother waved her hand.

The two families next door had no idea what Xu's mother was talking about. They just stared at the dishes on the table and swallowed their saliva desperately.

This smells so good.

Grandma Zhang and Grandpa Zhang were already hungry.

"Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry about my mom, let's eat first." Xu Ying said.

Grandpa Zhang nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and put a piece of chicken into his mouth.

"Hmm~delicious!" Grandpa Zhang exclaimed. The meat was not tough at all and was very tender.

Another sip of the soup is even more delicious.

The pheasant soup was simmered for more than an hour. The deliciousness of the chicken is all in the soup. After taking a sip, your whole body trembles, and your lips and teeth are filled with the delicious taste of chicken soup.

While Xu's mother was still bragging, the three people here were eating voraciously for fear of not being able to grab the food.

[Favourability value +1, +1...]

Xu Ying was very satisfied after hearing the voice. She was worried when she saw more than a dozen heads lying on the wall next door, and was frightened.

Originally, only one person from the family climbed up, and one asked the other, "What are you looking at?"

This one wiped the corner of his mouth: "Look at the meal!"

"What's so good about this!" I joined in the fun out of curiosity, and then this scene appeared.

Xu Ying generously served two bowls of soup and passed one portion on each side, including fried egg with mushrooms and spicy rabbit meat.

[Favourability value +1, +1...]

“It’s so delicious, I can eat it every day and never get tired of it.”

“But I’ve never eaten meat that tasted so good.”

"Neither do I. If I eat it every day, I will never get tired of it."

The two families were not ungentle people. After eating the meal given by Xu Ying, they washed the dishes, took a few eggs and some vegetables and went to Grandma Zhang's house.

There was no need for Xu's mother to brag this time, as they already knew how delicious Xu Ying's cooking was.

It’s simply a delicacy.

"I'll go wash the dishes!" Uncle Zhang went into the kitchen consciously. As the youngest in the family and the only male, he was not taught badly in this era when boys were valued more than girls, thanks to Xu's mother.

Uncle Zhang was raised by Xu's mother. Since he was young, Xu's mother instilled in him the idea that "You are the only man in our family, and we will all rely on you in the future.

If your second sister and third sister and I are bullied, you should be the first to rush out to protect us. When we get married, you should help your parents with more work at home.

They are old and can’t do heavy work, so you have to rush to do it, you know?”

Uncle Zhang grew up listening to these words, and it has become a habit for him.

Without Xu's mother saying anything, he went into the kitchen on his own accord.

Xu Ying gave his uncle an admiring look, and it must be said that his uncle had excellent character.

In her previous life, after the girl got married, she listened to her family and would take things from her husband's family and go back to her parents' home whenever she had nothing to do.

But grandma and grandpa were very honest and didn't dare to complain.

My uncle is a good-natured man with no temper. As long as he can get by, he just turns a blind eye.

But because his wife would go to her parents' home to get things whenever she had nothing to do, he had to work harder than the average person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to support two families.

In the end, Uncle Zhang was worked to death. When Xu Ying mentioned this, she no longer had any good feelings towards that girl.

I was hoping that this marriage would be concluded as soon as possible.

After dinner, Grandpa Zhang chatted with his daughter for a while and looked at several pheasants, rabbits and wild ducks hanging in the yard.

He couldn't help but feel sad. Thinking of the family his second daughter had married into, he was worried that his second son was being bullied.

After Grandpa Zhang and Uncle Zhang went to work, Xu's mother gave Grandma Zhang two dollars and left with her daughter.

Grandma Zhang watched her daughter disappear, then she sighed and returned to the yard.

When Xu's mother returned to the village, she did not forget her mother's instructions. She took a few eggs and went to Xu Jiangmin's house without stopping.

When Xu Jiangmin's wife was told what her mother had told her, her eyes sparkled. She nodded in agreement on the surface, but secretly ran back to her parents' home and complained to the Zhou family about how Zhang Baogui's sister's family was rich.

Both sons are regular employees, and the man is a team leader. They all receive salaries and earn a lot of money every month.

This time the Zhou family became even more greedy. Instead of reducing the bride price, they increased it by two yuan.

When Grandma Zhang heard the amount of the wedding gift, she fainted from fright.

Uncle Zhang lost his temper for the first time. He looked directly at the Zhou family and angrily said, "This marriage is over. Return the money my family gave you now."

The Zhou family didn't expect that this honest family would go back on their word.

Mother Zhou looked at Uncle Zhang with disdain: "Zhang Baogui, you better think it over carefully. You are already 21 years old this year, and your neighbor got married when he was 17 or 18, and his children are already 3 or 4 years old.

You are still single, and your parents are not young anymore, they are eager to have grandchildren. If you really want to ruin this marriage, don't beg us later."

When Uncle Zhang heard this, his face turned red with anger: "Even if I never get married, I will never beg your Zhou family for help."

The neighbor who had eaten Xu Ying's meal before also spoke up for Uncle Zhang: "Baogui, with so much betrothal money, you can buy two wives. The daughter of the Zhou family is not a golden phoenix.

What's so good about being so noble? If you don't want to marry her, then don't marry her. I'll tell you something later."
