She replied: "It's not convenient to video chat, what's the matter?"
The other person: “I don’t know what this is, so I’ll give it a try.”
Xu Qingzhi: ...
After all, Feng Yan has lived in the world of immortal cultivation for hundreds of years. He probably doesn’t understand many modern things when he first came here.
So, she patiently explained: "Video call means that two people can communicate face to face through mobile phones even though they are not in the same place."
Huo Fengyan: "Really? I don't believe it."
"real."
After Xu Qingzhi replied, he didn't fall for his trick and continued, "Well, if you really don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Huo Fengyan smiled when he saw the news.
Why doesn’t Zhizhi get fooled now? It was better when we first met, she believed everything he said.
He replied obediently: "Okay, I believe you."
After reading the message, Xu Qingzhi did not reply. He put down his phone and went to wash up.
the next day.
The vegetable sellers’ group was chatting animatedly again.
Some people wondered why everyone was chatting so enthusiastically when there weren't many vegetables to sell at the boss's place, so they clicked in to take a look.
It turned out that the boss had sent out rice and vegetables a few days ago, and many people in the group had received them one after another.
"I received the rice I exchanged. The boss packed it very well. Not only is it vacuum packed, but the outer paper box is also very beautiful."
"I received it too. The packaging of the rice is really good and feels very formal. It suddenly reminded me that the boss used to sell vegetables in plastic bags at the beginning. It is completely different from now, hahaha..."
"I got the free vegetables I redeemed. The delivery was two days late this time, but the vegetables I got were still very fresh."
Xu Qingzhi thought that rice would not expire, so she sent it by ordinary express this time. Vegetables were exchanged less frequently, so she made a plan for the small amount of vegetables, so that the freshness would not be affected when they were sent. The express would just arrive a little later than usual.
Granny Deng from the vegetable-selling group also won the lottery last time. She exchanged for rice and just received it. But she didn't brag about it in the group because she had more important things to do. Her baby daughter just gave birth in the hospital.
Grandma Deng was a little angry. What a son-in-law. He didn't even tell her until the baby was born.
If anything happened to her daughter, she would never forgive him.
Although Granny Deng was unhappy, she was more concerned about her newly born daughter.
She remembered that people in the group always said that the boss's products were good. Although she had never bought from him, she thought that the rice must be good. So she washed the rice and cooked it into porridge.
There was also the loofah that Old Lady Jiang gave her last time in the kitchen, which was also a dish from the boss’s family.
Old Mrs. Jiang wanted to show off that she had grabbed the vegetables, so she climbed up the pole and boasted to Old Mrs. Jiang, who then gave her two loofahs.
Granny Deng herself couldn't bear to buy them. Although her monthly pension was 8,000 yuan, the vegetables were 200 yuan per pound, which was too expensive. It would be better for her to save them for her daughter and son-in-law to reduce the pressure on them as young people.
As for why she was also in the group, it was because those old ladies who danced square dance together were all rich. They were all in this vegetable selling group, and every time they got together they discussed buying vegetables, as if buying vegetables from the boss's house was such an honorable thing.
So she joined the group to save face, but never bought anything.
When they started chatting, she just followed their words and praised the boss's dishes as they did. After all, no one knew whether she had bought any.
Grandma Deng cooked the porridge and made loofah egg drop soup, and packed them in an insulated box.
When she arrived at the hospital, Granny Deng saw her son-in-law's mother holding food in her hands. "Yan'er, come and eat something. You need to eat something after giving birth."
Deng Yan leaned on the edge of the bed, her face was pale, her hair on her forehead was drooping, and it was all sweaty. She looked extremely weak.
"I can't eat, Mom."
She felt like vomiting just by smelling the dishes and had no appetite at all.
"How can you not eat something? My precious grandson is waiting for you to feed him. It doesn't matter if you are hungry, but my precious grandson must not be hungry."
Deng Yan felt that the words sounded harsh, so she simply closed her eyes, pretending to rest and pretending not to hear.
Granny Deng at the door felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this, and walked over quickly. When she got closer, she saw that there was peanut and pig's trotter soup, and chicken, and the white rice looked hard.
When Deng Yan just got married a few years ago, she said that the rice her mother-in-law cooked was so hard that it could cut one's throat.
She wanted to cook it herself, but her mother-in-law wouldn't let her. She suggested using two separate rice cookers to cook the rice, but her mother-in-law thought she was being mean. She had no choice but to ask her mother-in-law to cook the rice a little softer, so her mother-in-law cooked it a little better and easier to swallow the next time. The next day, it was still hard. When Deng Yan mentioned it again, her mother-in-law said, "Oh, I forgot. I'm not in good health and have high blood sugar. I have to eat hard rice. The doctor said so."
Granny Deng now gets angry just by looking at the rice grains that are as hard as stones. Her daughter just gave birth to a child, and this old woman doesn't even care about the servants and is still trying to show off her authority.
We are all experienced people, so how could we not understand that this old woman was just pretending to be ignorant even though she knew the truth, deliberately making things difficult for her daughter to suffer.
She put the lunch box in her hand on the small table next to the bed and called out, "Yan'er."
Deng Yan slowly opened her eyes, "Mom, why did you come just now?"
Granny Deng was furious. She couldn't find her son-in-law anywhere and couldn't find him to blame. Thinking of not affecting her daughter's mood, she opened the lunch box and said, "When I knew you had a baby, I immediately made some porridge and loofah egg drop soup."
When the mother-in-law saw the dish, she curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Oh, my dear, Yan'er has just given birth to a baby, and it's time for her to replenish her body. Why are you making it so shabby? Look at what I prepared for Yan'er. Peanut and pig's trotter soup is good for lactation, and old hen meat is good for nourishing the body. Eating some meat will give you the strength to breastfeed."
Deng Yan originally felt like vomiting when she smelled the pig's trotters and chicken soup and had no appetite at all. But when she saw the porridge and loofah soup that her mother brought, her appetite returned all of a sudden.
The faint aroma of rice tempted her taste buds.
The nurse who was making her rounds nearby saw this and couldn't help but remind her: "It's best not to eat pig's trotters and chicken right after giving birth. You can wait a week or so before taking supplements. It's best to drink some porridge and soup now."
"You little girl, with your small butt, I can tell at a glance that you are not the material for giving birth to a son. What do you know? If you don't eat something to replenish your body, where will my precious grandson get the milk from?"
The nurse was still a young girl, and she was so angry at what she heard that her face turned pale and blue. She was just giving a kind reminder, and she left the ward angrily.
Deng Yan usually spoke in a humble manner to her mother-in-law, but now that she was tired after giving birth, she didn't want to pay attention to her. She took the porridge and spoon handed to her by her mother and took a sip.
Her eyes lit up, "Mom, did you put sugar in this porridge?"
Granny Deng shook her head: "No, what's wrong? Does this porridge taste weird?"
"It's quite strange." Deng Yan said.
The mother-in-law beside him heard this and quickly moved her peanut pig's trotter forward, "Don't drink this porridge if it tastes weird. It's not nutritious. Eat the pig's trotter I made for you. It's the best for lactation."
Deng Yan wanted to vomit as soon as she smelled the pig's trotters, and quickly tilted her head, "Mom, I can't eat greasy food now, I just want to drink some porridge and soup."
The mother-in-law threw the soup bowl on the small table next to her and said, "I really spoiled you. You are not born a princess but you have princess syndrome. When you were pregnant, you were picky about food and refused to eat this or that."
Granny Deng didn't expect that she was still here. This old woman actually dared to be so disgraceful. She really didn't take her seriously.
She yelled, "Old woman, who are you yelling at? My daughter can eat whatever she wants. It's not your turn to lecture her."
