Chapter 162 Returning a Favor



"Tomorrow I'll talk to the village chief and have him cut some trees in the mountains to make another bed. I'll also clear out the room next door and fix it up."

Li Miaomiao originally wanted Pei Guoan to move to another room. They had lived separately in the provincial capital before. Li Miaomiao thought Pei Guoan understood what she meant, but she heard Pei Guoan say, "Okay, I'll take care of it. Xiaofan is older now and needs a separate room."

Li Miaomiao: ...

"Xiao Fan is not too old, he can still live with me for two years, then I will build him a room." Li Miaomiao said very tactfully, seeing that Pei Guoan's recent performance made her satisfied.

"So? Miaomiao, you don't want to kick me out?" Pei Guoan said with some resentment in his tone.

Are you kidding? Since he has made up his mind and finally moved in and slept with his wife, how could he move out again? Pei Guoan felt that although his wife was smart, she was still too naive.

"Don't say such harsh words. I'm just worried that Xiaofan is still young and he'll be scared alone."

"So you don't want me as your husband anymore now that you have a son?"

Pei Guoan's tone became more resentful, and he looked at Li Miaomiao with accusatory eyes. His expression was exactly the same as Pei Yifan's.

The corners of Li Miaomiao's mouth twitched. When did Pei Guoan become like this? She didn't know how to react.

"Don't be like this. We're not that familiar with each other right now. We need some time to adapt. Are you still going to argue with your son?"

"Mom, I want to sleep by myself. I'm a man now and I want a room of my own."

Pei Yifan thought of his grandmother's words and suddenly said, "Grandma said that only when mom and dad live together can their relationship be better and they can give him a little brother or sister."

Li Miaomiao: ...

For her son to destroy her at this time

Pei Guoan was very satisfied and touched Pei Yifan's head with his big hand: "Okay, Dad will definitely satisfy you. You are really Dad's good son."

The father and son settled the matter so happily. Li Miaomiao stared at the roof, speechless for a moment.

Seeing Li Miaomiao like this, Pei Guoan's smile deepened and he continued, "Silly girl, are you fighting with him?"

It was agreed that Pei Guoqiang and others would come over for breakfast, so Li Miaomiao got up early the next morning. However, Pei Guoan got up earlier than her. When she left, Pei Guoan was already busy in the kitchen.

"Are you up? Why don't you sleep in a little longer? I'll make breakfast for you."

"Let me do it. Fourth sister-in-law likes my cooking the most. It's rare for her to come back."

Pei Guoan did not insist. Although his cooking skills were pretty good, they were far inferior to Li Miaomiao's.

"Then I'll mix the noodles first, and you can cook it later."

Li Miaomiao nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the yard and pick some vegetables for my fourth brother and the others to take back."

While Ren Pei Guoan was busy in the kitchen, Li Miaomiao went to the yard with a sack.

At this time of year, the vegetables of many families are not in good condition anymore, but Li Miaomiao's vegetable garden is still lush and green, and it is a good time to pick them.

Only after picking enough vegetables from the yard to fill a large sack did Li Miaomiao stop and go to the kitchen to cook.

At this time, Old Man Pei, Old Mrs. Pei, and Mr. and Mrs. Pei Guoqiang came over.

"Second sister-in-law, let me help you."

Liu Lin was not pretentious. Her morning sickness had basically recovered, and she no longer felt like vomiting when she smelled the kitchen smell, so she came over to help Li Miaomiao.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I've almost prepared everything. There's no need for you. Just sit there and breakfast will be ready soon."

Breakfast was relatively simple. Pei Guoan kneaded the dough, and Li Miaomiao made shredded pork noodles. There was an egg in each bowl of noodles, and two other vegetables were fried.

Although it was simple, Li Miaomiao used enough portions, and coupled with her good cooking skills, the kitchen was filled with fragrance, making everyone salivate with greed.

Just as everyone was about to have breakfast, Luo Shaoze drove over from the county town.

"Haha, I arrived just in time! This is shredded pork noodles, it smells so good!"

Luo Shaoze rushed to Fanglin Village from the county town early in the morning just for a bite to eat. He was really hardworking.

Thinking of Luo Shaoze's appetite, and there was still a lot of noodles left, Li Miaomiao made another big bowl of noodles for Luo Shaoze, which made Luo Shaoze very satisfied.

"Guoan, of all the women my mother introduced to me, if they had cooking skills like my sister-in-law, I would marry them without saying anything, without her even urging me."

Luo Shaoze's words were a bit unreliable, and Pei Guoan's face turned dark when he heard it.

However, Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei knew that Luo Shaoze was the one who helped their son, so they were very enthusiastic towards Luo Shaoze, asking him about his well-being. They wanted to take out all the good things in their home to thank Luo Shaoze, which put Luo Shaoze under a lot of pressure.

Especially in front of his elders, Luo Shaoze still had to have some dignity and acted seriously, which Li Miaomiao found very funny.

After breakfast, Pei Guoqiang and Liu Lin were going back to the county town. Li Miaomiao hurriedly gave them the vegetables she had picked and some nutritional supplements that she had packed up last night.

Compared to malted milk, powdered milk was much more nutritious. Li Miaomiao used her survival points to buy two cans from the system store. After reaching level 10, the system store gained many more features and could also sell items from this era, eliminating the need for Li Miaomiao to hide and repackage items.

In addition to two cans of milk powder, Li Miaomiao also took two cans of food, a bag of pastries, a bag of preserved fruits, and several pounds of gummy candies from what Pei Guoan brought back.

Pei Guoqiang was carrying a heavy bag, so he opened it and looked at it. He saw so many things.

"Second sister-in-law, why are you taking so many things? You can keep these for yourself and I'll take the vegetables."

"Just take what's given to you. It's not for you, but for the baby in your fourth sister-in-law's belly. You've finally waited for it, so you have to eat something good to nourish yourself. Don't be polite with me. After all, your fourth sister-in-law is pregnant with your child, and you can't let your mother-in-law's family always subsidize you. I made this soap myself, and it didn't cost much. You can give it to your fourth sister-in-law's family."

"Also, these few pounds of soft candies are for the children. You live in the county town, and it's thanks to your in-laws' care. These soft candies are in short supply in the provincial capital, so bringing them to the children to sweeten their mouths is also a token of our appreciation."

Li Miaomiao was returning the favor. Every time Pei Guoqiang returned to the village, he never came empty-handed. Even if the food was small, he would always buy some cakes and candies for Pei Yifan.

Others just thought that Pei Guoqiang lived a good life in the county town and could easily take out these things. She knew in her heart that Pei Guoqiang's monthly salary was fixed, and after buying things, he would definitely be short of money. It was okay before, but even when Liu Lin was pregnant, Pei Guoqiang treated them mother and son the same as before.

Just for this reason, Li Miaomiao would consider Pei Guoqiang more and really treat him as a younger brother.
