What should she do? Li Miaomiao felt that she was spoiled by her son. How could there be such a caring and cute Tuanzi?
"Mom will teach you a lesson: a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. After careful study and practice, your mom's cooking skills are no longer as good as before. Just wait and see."
Although Li Miaomiao's cooking skills are not very good and she can only make some home-cooked dishes, she is much better than the original owner. How can a single woman make a living? She has to rely on herself and can't always eat out.
Pei Yifan did not comment on his mother's ambitious statement. Although he was still young, he knew one thing: facts are the only way to be convincing.
"Come, let's see what delicious food your grandma and the others brought us."
Li Miaomiao opened one of the sacks as she spoke. There were really a lot of things in it, including rice, noodles, and meat, as well as sweet potato pickles, some dried vegetables, and so on. Li Miaomiao guessed that her mother had brought her everything she could get from home.
There were even a few packets of cakes and a packet of milk candy, as well as a bamboo tube filled with lard, which were very precious items in that era, especially in rural areas.
Li Miaomiao guessed that this was brought back by her third or fourth sister-in-law.
The original owner's third brother was capable, and the couple both had jobs in the city. As for the fourth sister-in-law, her parents' family was well-off and she was a city dweller. Every time she went to her parents' home, she could bring back some precious things.
This was originally prepared for the old couple, but most of it went into Li Miaomiao's stomach.
Seeing the pastries, Li Miaomiao was no longer in a hurry to cook. The pastries were already here, and it would be too troublesome to go to the kitchen. She opened the paper package and started eating them with Tuanzi. Anyway, these pastries would not last long.
"Mom, can I have some cakes?" Pei Yifan ate two pieces and stopped, looking at the cakes and said to Li Miaomiao
"What's wrong? Do you want to keep it for later? Don't worry, there's another pack here. Mom will make more for you after you finish eating." Li Miaomiao still remembered a few recipes for her favorite cakes.
"I want to give some to grandpa and grandma."
Li Miaomiao was a little surprised. Aren't children of this age usually concerned about their own food and drink? But Pei Yifan still remembered his grandparents and wanted to leave some cakes for them. He was such a filial child.
However, in fact, Pei Yifan was thinking about using these cakes to please Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei. After all, the mother and son were alone and weak, so they had to seek external help.
At this time, the Pei family members went out to work in the fields.
Pei Yifan suggested going to the fields to play, and Li Miaomiao naturally would not stop him. Although Pei Yifan was young, rural children of this age were not allowed to run around outside. Anyway, they were all villagers, so there would be no danger.
But she was still a little worried, so she couldn't help but give a few warnings: "Don't go to dangerous places like rivers and ponds to play. You are still young, and these places are dangerous."
"Don't worry, Mom. I know. I'm just going to see grandpa and grandma."
Pei Yifan said sensibly. Seeing that Li Miaomiao agreed, he filled a small kettle that Pei Guoan had made for him with water before going to the field.
After Pei Yifan left, Li Miaomiao reorganized the two large bags of things sent by the Li family.
Pei Yifan went out, and Li Miaomiao sorted out the two large bags of things sent by her mother's family. Looking at the many things in the cabinet, Li Miaomiao thought that these would last for a while.
It's a good feeling to have such a mother-in-law, but she can't just reap the benefits. When her survival value reaches the requirement, the system's mall will be opened. Then she can exchange some things from the system and find a suitable reason to send some to Lao Li's family.
After all, even if He Guixiang is strong and has Liao Xuemei's support, she cannot disappoint the other brothers and sisters-in-law. Although the brothers have been brainwashed by He Guixiang since childhood and don't mind too much, things are different after they get married and have wives.
Even if it is her mother's family, there must be a give-and-take relationship in order to visit them frequently. He Guixiang considers her, and she has to consider He Guixiang even more.
With this in mind, Li Miaomiao took out some flour, eggs, and lard, planning to make some cakes for Xiaotuanzi in the afternoon while everyone else was working. She also cut off a small piece of meat, as she couldn't keep the meat any longer, so she didn't want it to go bad. Of course, the main point was that she was also greedy.
Speaking of this, it's better to separate the family, otherwise we have to cook secretly. Although Li Miaomiao seems to be deliberately causing trouble these days, there is no other way. Who would like to be looked down upon by others?
But Old Man and Old Lady Pei were busy and sweating, when they saw their precious grandson walking towards them from afar, neither hurried nor slow. Even at such a young age, he seemed to be different from other children. They couldn't describe it, but he was very different from the children in the village.
However, when they thought about Li Miaomiao's behavior when Old Li came to their house today, the smiles on the old couple's faces faded a little.
They were really worried about the situation of the second house, especially the first house. Their dissatisfaction with the second house was shown on their faces. Even if they tried to suppress it, it was not a solution. Sooner or later, they would be unable to suppress it.
Li Miaomiao is becoming more and more out of character. Not to mention the first wife, even the old couple can't stand it. But if the second wife is really separated and lives with such an unreasonable and lazy mother, the grandson will suffer.
"Xiao Fan, why are you here? It's so hot right now, don't get too hot."
Old Mrs. Pei was not happy with Li Miaomiao's behavior, but she felt sorry for her grandson. When she saw Pei Yifan coming, she said something.
"Grandma, I'm fine. How can a country kid be so spoiled? But you and my grandfather are old. Please work harder and don't overwork yourself! Look at how much sweat you're putting in. When I grow up, I will definitely make a lot of money to honor you. You won't have to work so hard anymore."
"Oh, no wonder my parents favor Xiaofan. Look at his mouth, he's so good at talking. The stupid ones in our family can only work and can't talk well. Aren't they unpopular?" Zhou Fang said sarcastically.
Pei Yifan ignored Zhou Fang and put down the kettle and took out the pastries in his arms.
"Grandpa, grandma, the cakes grandma brought are delicious. I brought them specially for you. Please try them."
"No need, Xiaofan, keep it for yourself."
Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei knew how much the Li family loved Li Miaomiao, so they were eager to send her even good things like cakes. They loved their grandson so much that they naturally couldn't bear to eat it.
"Grandpa and grandma, I've eaten. I brought this specially for you." Pei Yifan said as he brought the cakes to the mouths of old man Pei and old lady Pei.
The two elders of the Pei family didn't want to refuse their grandson's kindness, so they ate the cakes and felt the sweetness in their mouths.
