Chapter 3 Bribed Him
Yan Yunxi walked around the kitchen. There were only half a bag of rice and half a bag of flour in the cabinet. There were three eggs in a bowl, two for her and one for Dabao. It was like this every day because the chickens at home only laid three eggs a day and no one else had any.
There was still some coarse grain, but not much, and some sweet potatoes and potatoes.
So she decided to cook a pot of sweet potato and rice porridge, heat up the leftover black flour steamed buns, and make some sweet potato cakes for Dabao.
She beat all three eggs into a large bowl, added water, and steamed an egg custard. After steaming, she drizzled soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil on it.
Then stir-fry some potato shreds, pick some rape from the vegetable garden in the backyard, stir-fry some rape, chop a Chinese cabbage, and make some pickled cabbage.
No meat, alas!
These are almost enough to eat. Now is the critical time for autumn harvest. She still hopes that her family will not get tired and have health problems. In order to save oil, it is not a big deal to eat only potato and vegetable porridge every day.
She used diluted spiritual spring water for this meal.
When the last dish was fried, the family came back from work.
Yan Yunxi's parents-in-law have three children in total. The eldest son, Mu Jingxuan, is 21 years old this year. He was discharged from the army due to injury and just came home yesterday.
The second son, Mu Jingwen, is 19 years old this year. He only went to high school for one year. The family can't afford to send two children to school at the same time, so he took the initiative to drop out of school and let his sister go to school.
The third child is the daughter Mu Jinglan, who is 14 years old this year and in the second grade of junior high school. Her school is in the county town. Her family is afraid that she, a girl, will be in danger on the way to and from school, so the whole family tightened their belts and let her live in the school, and only come back once every weekend.
When he smelled the fragrance, Mu Jingwen couldn't stand it. At his age, he was just a teenager who made his father poor.
"Oh my God! Who cooked this meal? It smells so good. Mom, is the snail girl here?"
The snail girl Yan Yunxi just came out of the kitchen with the last dish.
"Dad, Mom, Jingxuan, Jingwen, wash your hands and have dinner."
Everyone froze when they saw Yan Yunxi, including Dabao in Mu Jingxuan's arms, who looked at his mother in disbelief. Is this still the mother who ignored them?
"Don't just stand there, wash your hands and have dinner, it will get cold soon." Yan Yunxi understood their expressions, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. Alas, what a sin she had committed in that life!
"Okay, let's have dinner." Father-in-law Mu Yuanqiang reacted the fastest and broke the awkward atmosphere, and everyone started to move.
Mother-in-law Shen Chunxiang looked at the food on the table and her eyes twitched.
What a sin! Using so much oil to cook, life will be difficult!
But she still concealed herself very well, and nothing could be seen on her face.
After all, this was the first time her daughter-in-law cooked for the family. She couldn't dampen her enthusiasm. It was a good thing that her daughter-in-law was willing to interact with the family. She should be happy!
Yes, she should be happy!
So the mother-in-law forced herself to look at Yan Yunxi with a smile, "It smells good, it must be delicious."
Yan Yunxi's mouth twitched and she smiled back. Don't think she didn't see that her mother-in-law's heart was bleeding behind her forced smile!
Dabao saw that his mother was different from usual, and he became bolder. After washing his hands, he rushed over to Yan Yunxi,
"Mom!"
The two short legs were running very fast. Yan Yunxi was afraid that he would fall, so she reached out and picked up Dabao, and kissed him on his little face.
It was really cute. It was
the first time that Dabao was hugged and kissed by his mother. He laughed so happily that he made goose sounds, making others laugh as well.
It was the first time in two years that there was such a warm scene at home. The excited mother-in-law wiped away tears.
Mu Jingxuan looked at Yan Yunxi with a gleam in his eyes. After not seeing her for a whole morning, she seemed to have become more beautiful!
"I didn't expect that my sister-in-law's cooking was so delicious. Although there is no meat, why is it so fragrant!" Mu Jingwen was usually very dissatisfied with this sister-in-law, but he had to say that this meal had won him over.
"Delicious!" Dabao was not to be outdone. He had never eaten such a delicious egg custard. It was tender and smooth, melted in the mouth, and was so fragrant!
"It's really delicious. I didn't expect that pure vegetarian dishes could be so fragrant." The father-in-law also praised at the right time.
"Yunxi, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so great. Mother could never cook to your level in her entire life!" The mother-in-law was really complimenting her.
Although Mu Jingxuan didn't say anything, he shoveled the food into his mouth with big mouthfuls and couldn't stop eating.
Yan Yunxi was also very happy to see everyone's feedback to her. Her former image was slowly turning around.
Because the autumn harvest was busy, everyone didn't have time to rest after lunch, and they had to go to work again soon.
"I'll go to the county in the afternoon to buy some meat. It's the autumn harvest, and everyone can't tire themselves out. They have to eat something good. There's not much food at home. You can continue to take Dabao away in the afternoon."
It was inconvenient for her to smuggle through space with a child.
Mu Jingxuan heard this, and took out fifty yuan and several grain and meat coupons from the cabinet in the room and gave them to Yan Yunxi,
"Take it, buy whatever you want."
"No, I have money..." It's all the money you sent back every month.
"Take it, I'll be responsible for the household expenses." Mu Jingxuan insisted.
Not bad, there is a responsibility, she likes it!
Yan Yunxi didn't pretend anymore, took the bill with a smile, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
"Yunxi, don't move, I'll wash the dishes, put them down!" The mother-in-law snatched the dishes from her hands.
Okay, she really hates washing dishes anyway.
She went out in the afternoon when everyone went to work. The village she lives in is called Linshan Village, which belongs to Qishihua County in the northeast. There are more than one hundred households in the village. Due to its special geographical location, one village is a brigade.
The distance from Linshan Village to the commune is farther than to the county, so their village usually goes directly to the county to buy things, which is much more convenient than other villages.
Yan Yunxi carried an empty backpack and a diabolo basket in her hand, walking alone on the forest path to the county.
Not to mention, the autumn is clear and the air is really good. Think about her previous life, the environment was polluted and the air was not fresh, not to mention after the end of the world, the air was full of the stench of corpses, but it was life-threatening!
When she was enjoying it alone, the person coming towards her almost made her go crazy.
"Yan Yunxi, why didn't you bring me food at noon? I'm starving." Yang Guowei complained, but his eyes were fixed on Yan Yunxi.
How come she has become so beautiful after not seeing her for just one day? If she is really divorced, this look is barely worthy of him.
WTF!!! What the hell!
How can a beast who caused her family to be destroyed in her first life have the nerve to say such a thing?
Oh, she remembered that according to the trajectory of her first life, she is now in love with Yang Guowei.
Yang Guowei cheated her with food and drink every day, urging her to divorce, and promised to take her back to the city. She was still very fond of it, and every day she either ate steamed bread or eggs, which she stole from her husband's house and gave to Yang Guowei.
Now that she has come to her senses and has been baptized by the second life, she looks at Yang Guowei again, with a calculating and selfish face, wearing glasses to pretend to be gentle. How did she fall in love with such a scumbag before?
Yan Yunxi slowly loosened her clenched fists. Now is not the time.
