She was stunned and looked down, only to see the yellow and white cat with crystal saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth and its amber pupils wide open.
"Meow~"
The cat scratched the air with its claws.
"Why are you drooling?"
Chu Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly carried it out of the house to prevent it from jumping into the pot.
She wiped the saliva from the corners of its mouth with a handkerchief and washed her hands at the same time.
When Ye Xiwen and Ye Wenyin heard their second brother's words, they raised their hands to wipe the corners of their mouths in perfect sync.
Why?
No saliva...
Ye Xiwen was confused, then suddenly realized that he was talking about cats...
Ye Wenyin was a little embarrassed. Although her mouth was not drooling, saliva was constantly secreting from her mouth.
How long has it been since you last ate meat?
I think we only had one meal there during the days when my eldest brother got married.
When I worked for the Lin family, there was no meat to eat, only vegetables. But as long as I was full, I was satisfied.
Satisfaction and greed are two different things.
I finally get to eat meat, but I'm so greedy.
Ye Youze was not so shameless. He sniffed while cooking:
"It smells so good, I really want to eat it now."
Huang Ying watched the fire under the pot where chicken soup was being cooked, adding a piece of firewood from time to time, and replied with a smile:
"We killed two chickens tonight, and there's so much pork. We'll have a good meal together."
"very nice!"
As Ye Youze was talking, the fried meat in the pot was ready. He scooped it out, leaving half of it in the pot, added water, and covered the pot with a lid.
Squat down and take out some firewood, make the fire smaller, and simmer slowly over low heat.
Wait for about a quarter of an hour until the fried meat becomes soft and serve.
Then, with the remaining oil and water, pour in the unknown vegetables that had been cut in advance, stir-fry until just cooked and serve.
When the chicken is cooked, it's time to have dinner.
This was a rare sumptuous meal for the Ye family, and it was all served on the eight-person table.
The table was filled to the brim.
Chicken legs are the most delicious and tender part, so Ye Youze cut them into small pieces before putting them in the pot, saving everyone from worrying about how to distribute four chicken legs among ten people.
Huang Ying took out two portions of the dishes on the table.
One portion was brought into the room by Ye Zhangshi for Mr. Ye to eat;
One portion was sent by Huang Ying to feed Ye Qingyun's biological father Ye Ping.
Ye Ping was in good condition today. She didn't make any noise or trouble, and Huang Ying fed her quickly.
Returning to the dining table, Huang Ying found that everyone was waiting.
Ye Zhang didn't have to feed Old Man Ye and came back early.
Huang Ying washed her hands and sat down too.
At this time, Ye Zhang was the first to pick up her chopsticks.
Ye Zhang, who was the oldest in seniority, was the first to start eating, followed by the rest of the younger generations.
Chu Qi picked up a few pieces of fatty pork and chicken and gave them to the yellow and white cat along with half a bowl of millet porridge.
"Let's eat, Xiao Huang."
After patting Xiao Huang's head, Chu Qi washed his hands and returned to the dining table to continue eating.
After dinner, the family went to the yard to enjoy the cool air.
The moon at night has been exceptionally bright recently, with its light reaching directly to the earth.
Sitting in the yard, all you need to do is light the mosquito repellent incense. With light, wind, and family, this is the happiest moment for the farmers.
As usual, Zhuang Qiuling sat in front of Ye Youze, and Ye Youze helped her massage her waist to relieve the pain.
Huang Ying looked around at her two daughters leaning against her side and suddenly sighed:
"As a mother, I can't bear to think that Wen Yin will get married in a few years."
How much time will the children be around?
He was busy with work on weekdays, so his daughters would be sent to work as maids when they were about eight years old, and from then on he could only see them once a year.
After she reaches the age of 15, she might find a husband and marry off early.
It’s heartbreaking just thinking about it.
It will be even more difficult to meet after you get married.
Not to mention from different villages, even if they are from the same village, a daughter has to take care of her own family after marriage, so she doesn't have time to visit her parents' home.
Chu Qi leaned against a big tree and said indifferently:
"If you can't bear to part with it, then don't rush to get married."
"How can a girl not get married? If she doesn't get married soon, won't she become an old maid?"
Huang Ying said.
Chu Qi shook her head slightly: "Fifteen is still young, it won't be too late to get married when you are eighteen or twenty."
Seeing that Huang Ying didn't seem to agree, Chu Qi comforted her, "Mother, what are you worried about? When I pass the exam to become a scholar or a juren, my sisters will be juren's sisters. Will they still worry about not being able to get married?
Even if you don't marry, I can still support you."
The more Ye Xiwen and Ye Wenyin listened, the brighter their eyes became. Ye Xiwen said happily:
"Brother is so nice! I just don't want to get married~ I want to be with mom forever."
Huang Ying was persuaded and thought it made sense. She decided to wait for Qingyun to pass the imperial examination.
Um?
Juren?
She was surprised:
"Qingyun, are you sure you can pass the exam?"
He hasn't even taken the exam for the scholar yet, isn't it too early to call him a juren?
However, Huang Ying was very happy that her youngest son had such ambition and confidence.
I'm not afraid of being too confident, I'm afraid of having no confidence.
It's good to have confidence.
Chu Qi smiled cunningly:
"I'm not sure, but we'll see when the time comes. Maybe I can really pass the exam."
Ye Zhang fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan:
"My dear grandson, you don't have to help with housework tomorrow. Why don't you study hard in your room?"
"There is no rush to study. I'd better help build the house first, so that I can study with peace of mind. Otherwise, you guys are working outside and I am alone in the room, and I can't study with peace of mind."
Chu Qi said calmly.
Ye Youze gently rubbed his wife's waist. Listening to what his younger brother said, he inexplicably felt that the sentence structure sounded very familiar...
