"Well, I'll tell you later." Li Chuan felt embarrassed and didn't want to mention this matter in front of others.
Seeing her son return to his room with a gloomy face, Mrs. Xu turned around and asked Lin Xiaoxi, "You two didn't have a fight, did you? Is Xiaochuan okay?"
Lin Xiaoxi glanced at Fang Qi in her room and said, "Why are we arguing? What could possibly happen to him?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Old Mrs. Xu kept saying it was okay, but in fact she was very worried.
It seems that I still need to find an opportunity to ask Ogawa what happened.
It's only been a few months since we got married?
Why do these two people have such bad tempers every other day?
Something is wrong, something is really wrong!
"Mom, if everything is fine, I'll go into the house!" Lin Xiaoxi said and was about to go into the house.
"Xiaoxi, wait a minute." Old Mrs. Xu stopped her daughter-in-law and said, "Go cook today!"
Lin Xiaoxi was stunned. Why was it her turn to cook?
Because there were so many people in the yard, she didn't want to say it directly, so she asked, "Mom, is your sister-in-law feeling unwell?"
The implication is, why doesn't the sister-in-law cook?
Old Mrs. Xu said, "Your eldest sister-in-law went to work today. You know, if you don't go to the fields, your fourth sister-in-law won't go either. Your third sister-in-law is looking after the children, and your third brother is not in good health. You went to take the teacher exam today, so not many people went to work. Your eldest sister-in-law worked very hard today, so you should cook the meal."
Bai Jinfeng was indeed very tired today. Not only did she do the work of the production team, but she also helped to reclaim the family's private plot of land.
In this big family, everyone is jealous. There are more people eating than working, so she is naturally unhappy.
She also wanted to be lazy.
However, when it comes to her private plot, she cannot be lazy for even a minute.
The sooner this land is opened up and planted, the sooner we can harvest the vegetables and give some to Zhaodi to nourish his body.
This child is so skinny, it's obvious that he is malnourished.
This child is already eight or nine years old, but he looks like a five or six-year-old child, his body has not fully grown yet.
As a mother, she was naturally anxious.
So I worked extra hard today.
Old Mrs. Xu was also concerned about the issue of private plots, and went to see them reclaiming the private plots. She saw that the eldest daughter-in-law was really working very hard and was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back, so she was quite satisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law on this point.
Lin Xiaoxi was unhappy: "Okay, I'll go cook."
"Go ahead, go ahead. Your fourth sister-in-law and eldest brother are staying for dinner today. You can cook for one more person."
If Lin Xiaoxi hadn't come back just now, she could have chased people away. As luck would have it, Lin Xiaoxi came back, and I won’t watch anymore if she chases people away.
"Okay, I got it. But what we have at home is not enough to entertain guests. Mom, you have to prepare something before I can cook." Lin Xiaoxi said reluctantly.
Neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law was sincere in inviting people to dinner.
Yufeng also saw it, and in order not to embarrass his sister, he directly asked for it: "There is dinner at home tonight, and your sister-in-law said she would save some for me. If I don't go back, your sister-in-law will be unhappy."
Xuejiao was dissatisfied but could do nothing about it.
If Li Heng doesn't come out and tell his mother, nothing his daughter-in-law says will help.
"Okay, then you go ahead, brother, I'm sorry for you."
"What are you talking about? We are all family!"
Xuejiao knew that her family was considerate of her, and she felt even more upset. Thinking of the issue of meals for her younger sister Xueshan, who would be staying to take care of her, she turned around and said directly to Old Lady Xu, "My brother is leaving, but my sister is going to stay for a while, so we have to prepare meals for one more person."
Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Xuejiao, I'm not saying anything, but don't you know what's going on at home? It's okay to have one more person eat one meal, but if he stays for every meal, that's..."
Yufeng's face turned ugly.
I really can’t imagine how my sister could marry into such a family.
"Li Heng!" Xue Jiao shouted, "Why don't you come out of the room and act like a coward? I ask you, how do you solve the problem of my sister's eating?"
Li Heng came out of the house with his head held high. Seeing that his wife and mother were at loggerheads, he could not help but sigh, "Mom, how about both sides give in? Xue Shan came here to take care of Xue Jiao, so she stayed. Otherwise, let her go back and you take care of her, so you can save on meals."
"Alright, that's decided. I'll take care of it."
Xuejiao was so angry that she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she was stopped by Yufeng.
"Brother!! Let me speak!"
Yufeng waved his hand: "Don't say anything, I will handle this matter."
Just as things were going on here, Xueshan came over happily from the backyard and shouted to Yufeng, "Brother, come to the backyard to eat. Li Xu and Li Yao are inviting you over. The wine is on the table."
"Shanshan, don't be so ignorant!" If someone invites him, will he really go?
What if it was just a polite remark? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was over?
"Brother, come here, we are all waiting for you!" Li Yao was afraid that Yufeng would have too many concerns, so he simply went there himself.
This shows that he is sincere!
"Brother, go ahead." Xuejiao pushed Yufeng, "I don't believe what others say, but Lao Liu's words are always true."
Yufeng nodded: "Then I will go over. I am sorry to trouble you again today."
Li Yao raised the corner of his mouth: "That's polite. Come on!"
The backyard was exactly as Xueshan had described. The dining table had been set and the wine had been poured.
On the table stood a large enamel basin filled with deliciously stewed rat bones and meat chunks, with the broth still bubbling.
He felt very curious and looked down. Under the basin was a small ceramic basin with burning coal in it.
There was a circle of dishes on the table, but they were all raw, including cabbage, potato chips, sweet potato noodles, and a few slices of raw tofu. What was even more strange was that there was also a plate of raw hand-rolled noodles.
"This is?"
This is a simple version of hot pot.
The only difference is that the base of the pot was changed to pork ribs soup.
"Let's eat the meat first, and then use the pork rib soup to cook vegetables and noodles. It tastes very good. This is the idea of my wife and my sister-in-law. Come and sit down, brother, and let's eat together! There's plenty of food!" Li Xu introduced enthusiastically.
"Very clever!" Yufeng laughed, "Then I won't be polite!"
After three glasses of wine, everyone picked up their chopsticks.
Li Xu quickly picked up a piece of pork and put it in An Ye's bowl like begging for it: "Wife, you eat meat!"
An Ye gave him a wry look, but didn't refuse and ate the meat directly.
Li Yao also kept picking meat and bones for his wife, being extremely careful and serious.
Yufeng couldn't help but sigh, why didn't his sister meet such a handsome man?
Ning Jia whispered to Li Yao: "Don't just focus on me, eat by yourself. Also, there are guests here, you have to take care of them..."
Although the voice was small, Yufeng heard it.
He didn't say anything, but he felt in his heart that his sister had chosen the wrong person, but this time she didn't.
Her sixth brother's wife and her family are really nice!
After having a good meal and a good drink, Yufeng returned home.
Seeing her son coming back, Jingqin hurried out of the house to greet him: "How is your sister? Oh, she's drinking? It seems she ate well."
Yufeng sighed and told Jingqin what happened in the Li family today.
Jingqin's face didn't look too happy either.
However, in the end, he didn't say anything, but just told his son a few words: "Since your sister has to eat with the fifth and sixth sons of the Li family, we can't let them suffer! Go and send some food and oil over later! Send more, and piss off that old thing, Mrs. Xu!"
