Pig's blood is difficult to store, and with limited space in the ice bucket at home, Yu Rujia had to regretfully abandon her plan to buy a large quantity of pig's blood, and Gao Guojing carried over 100 kilograms of the food home.
As Duofu entered the house, he said proudly, "Auntie's cooking is the best. That's why we don't squander money. Those people are just talking nonsense."
Yu Rujia rubbed his chubby little face: "Yes, they're talking nonsense. Don't pay attention to them. Auntie will have your Uncle Guojing make you something delicious later. Don't be angry, Duofu."
Duofu thinks his aunt's cooking is the best, but his uncle said not to let his aunt work too hard. Duofu feels that he is a big kid and should take care of his aunt, so the work can only be done by Uncle Guojing.
Although Uncle Guojing's cooking was terrible, he was willing to endure the hardship so that Auntie could have an easier time.
Duofu earnestly instructed, "Uncle Guojing, please make sure it tastes good."
Actually, Gao Guojing's cooking skills weren't bad. After all, he made it according to Yu Rujia's instructions, and he wouldn't deliberately do anything bad. Even if the taste was bad, it wouldn't be too bad.
However, Yu Rujia and Gao Shujing were such skilled cooks that before Gao Guojing arrived, they ate either the food cooked by Yu Rujia or the food cooked by Gao Shujing, and their palates became quite discerning.
When the cooking was suddenly switched to Gao Guojing, a complete novice, it was no wonder the food tasted terrible.
Gao Guojing put down his things and glared at Duofu: "You little brat, you eat my cooking every day and you dare to complain that it's not good? Be careful, one day I'll make something delicious and not let you eat it."
Duolu jumped out and said, "Uncle Guojing, give me some to eat."
Gao Guojing: "Okay, give it to Duolu. Rujia, how do we prepare these things?"
Yu Rujia: "Put the pig lungs, liver, tripe, bones, and pork belly into an ice bucket. Put the pig blood in water to keep it warm. You can take the rest and wash them. Oh, and wash a pig lung too. We'll eat all the meat we want today."
After arranging for Gao Guojing and the children, Yu Rujia took out a bunch of ingredients from her medicine cabinet to make braising spices, and made a few extra packets to keep for later use.
After Gao Guojing finished washing the meat, he asked him to make braised meat. It had been a while since he had braised food, and he really wanted some.
Xu Huiniang led Hua Zi in. Duo Fu was two years younger than Hua Zi, but he was good-looking and about the same height as Hua Zi. Even Duo Lu and Duo Shou were not much shorter than him. The children played in the backyard.
Yu Rujia moved two stools out and placed them under the sun. The winter sun felt very comfortable. She usually liked to sit in a deck chair by the hand pump well and sunbathe when she had nothing to do.
Now, of course, we can't sit by the hand pump well. Gao Guojing is washing his semen there, and no matter how clean the team members clean it, the smell is still there. It's best to avoid getting in contact with it if possible.
So they placed the stool in the courtyard so it could also get some sun.
Yu Rujia: "Sister Hui, are you almost done with the housework?"
Xu Huiniang stared at Gao Guojing, who was diligently cleaning the drain beside the hand pump, and said, "Once the big clean-up is done, things will be almost finished. Have you finished your work here?"
Yu Rujia: "Once I'm done with my work, I'll be waiting to eat lots of meat."
Xu Huiniang pulled a stool closer to her and said in a low voice, "Rujia, I won't go into details about the offal and bones you bought. I'm sure you know what you're doing."
"But you'll have to put more effort into dealing with Director Gao. You're not even married into the family yet, and you're already ordering his younger brother around like this. If his brother gets upset and goes home to talk badly about you to his parents, will you still be able to marry into the family?"
While Yu Rujia was distributing the meat, Xu Huiniang had already taken her meat and gone home.
However, Yu Rujia bought too much stuff, and the people in the team were saying that she was a spendthrift. Xu Huiniang heard some rumors and came to see if Yu Rujia was affected by those crazy words.
When Yu Rujia came in and saw that everything was normal, she knew that those people couldn't affect her.
Before she could catch her breath, she saw Yu Rujia resting on one side while Gao Guojing worked hard on the other. Xu Huiniang was really worried for Yu Rujia.
Since ancient times, women have been expected to be more assertive in their husband's family, not only having to be filial to their parents-in-law, but also taking care of their younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
Even if a daughter-in-law gives birth to a son, she is still considered an outsider in her husband's family. If her husband's younger brother or sister-in-law causes trouble, it is still the daughter-in-law who suffers.
In such an environment, how many girls would dare to take it for granted to order their brother-in-law around before even marrying him? Even after marriage, very few would dare to do so.
Especially for someone like Yu Rujia who spends money extravagantly, if her brother-in-law Gao Guojing were to complain, there would be plenty of reasons for him to retaliate.
Apart from those who were still obsessed with Gao Shujing, everyone else in the brigade had already paired them up.
Yu Rujia herself could feel that Gao Shujing's feelings for her were growing deeper every day. Now, apart from her personal clothing, everything else was taken care of by Gao Shujing.
Gao Shujing is indeed the most suitable person she has ever met in this life. There is no problem for Yu Rujia to be with him.
She would never compromise herself for Gao Shujing's sake; she was a lazy person by nature and would avoid taking action if possible.
With the foundation laid by the original owner of this body, if she were to continue to act diligent and kind, regardless of what the Xia family might think, she simply wouldn't be able to stand it.
When she first arrived in this world, there was nothing she could do. Apart from her, the only adults were a bunch of babies. The oldest, Duofu, was only three years old. Even if she wanted to use him, she couldn't. She had to do all the work herself.
Now that she has a helper by her side, if she still wants to do a lot of work herself, she'd have to be crazy.
Yu Rujia: "I'm not even married into their family yet, and they already want me to do chores and serve them. I'd rather not marry into their family at all."
"For a woman, marriage is like a second reincarnation. If her life after marriage is not as good as before marriage, it is better not to get married at all."
Xu Huiniang: "That's true, but nothing is ever perfect. When two people get married, there will always be bumps along the way. They need to be understanding of each other for the marriage to last. Men do more work outside, so women should do more work at home."
Yu Rujia: "Women do earn fewer work points than men when they are working because of their physical strength, but they also work hard. Why should they have to do more when they come back?"
“If doing housework could earn work points, then women could earn more work points by working outside and then earning work points at home than men.”
Xu Huiniang thought about it and realized that was indeed the case, but in this world, women do housework, and very few men do housework when they come home.
Even though he was a military man in his family, considered a rare good man in the brigade, he didn't help much with housework.
In the countryside, a woman is considered to have married the right man if he doesn't beat her.
Xu Huiniang: "You always have your reasons, but sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too strong-willed. You should give in when necessary."
