Leave the sisters-in-law to me!"
Xi Jingchen looked at Meng Xue's expectant expression and nodded.
"Okay, it's all up to you!"
After Xi Jingchen left, Meng Xue began to check what ingredients were available at home.
But when she looked around, she saw a big piece of fat meat, half a bag of rice and half a bag of noodles...
Meng Xue calculated the number of people to invite in her mind.
We decided to chop this big piece of fat meat into minced meat and make dumplings to treat everyone.
Thinking that there was no food at home, she decided to go to Yang Hongyan's house.
Yang Hongyan was very happy to see that Meng Xue looked good.
"Xiaoxue, are you feeling better now?"
Meng Xue nodded.
"Sister-in-law, I want to treat you to dumplings tonight.
But there is meat but no vegetables at home. Can I buy two cabbages?"
Yang Hongyan knew why Meng Xue came and smiled slightly.
"Xiaoxue, there's no need to pay for cabbage. Almost every household grows it.
I'll just pick two for you from the yard later."
Meng Xue frowned slightly.
"Sister-in-law, this is not good, right?"
These days everyone’s food rations are limited!
Even though the cabbage is grown at home, it may not be enough to eat!
Yang Hongyan saw Meng Xue's embarrassment and laughed.
"What's good or bad about it? We're just neighbors, so it's just a formality to give money to neighbors!
Besides, you are treating us to a meal.
It makes sense that your family provides the meat and my family provides the vegetables!"
Meng Xue felt helpless. Could it be calculated this way?
"Okay then, I'll go inform the other two sisters-in-law!"
that's all……
Yang Hongyan is holding two large cabbages.
Sister Xiuzhi brought four or five green onions from her home.
Sister Baolai came empty-handed and saw at the door that everyone had brought things.
So she called out to the two of them and asked them to wait for her.
She hurried back home and pulled two large white radishes from her own field.
Meng Xue watched the three people come to the door together, each holding something in their hands.
I really feel guilty about it.
"Sisters-in-law, you said you would come, so why do you bring things with you?"
Yang Hongyan pursed her lips and smiled.
"Xiaoxue, these are all grown by everyone at home, aren't they worth much?
Now that you have it, just keep it!"
Sister Xiuzhi echoed, "Yes, yes, don't treat us as outsiders, we are a family here!"
Baolai's sister-in-law also echoed, "Yes, we are all women. When the men are not around, we have to unite and help each other!"
Meng Xue was indescribably moved when she heard their words.
She is no longer pretentious.
"Then thank you sisters-in-law for your timely help!
There's more than just dumplings to eat tonight.
I will also use these radishes to make soup for everyone!"
When they heard Meng Xue's words, they smiled at each other.
The four women divided the work among themselves.
Meng Xue cut off a small piece of meat and started to make carrot soup.
Yang Hongyan was responsible for chopping the remaining meat.
Sister Xiuzhi is kneading the dough.
Baolai's sister-in-law peels onions and cabbages...
Wait until the meat filling is ready.
The four of them sat around the table and started making dumplings.
Since Meng Xue's family didn't have a clapboard, they had to spread newspapers on the table and put the dumplings on the newspapers.
Sister Xiuzhi said as she was making dumplings, "Xiaoxue, we can only eat dumplings because of you!"
Baolai's sister-in-law agreed, "That's right, my family doesn't even want to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.
Why is Mr. Li in my family always complaining?
Now it’s good, I can finally eat it.”
Yang Hongyan wrapped a dumpling and placed it on the newspaper, then echoed, "Our old Zhang does the same..."
Meng Xue heard what they said and smiled.
“The sisters-in-law really know how to joke.
In that case, we have to make more dumplings for today.
Let the men have enough to eat..."
