Chapter 70 (2)
It can be done in one night." Chang Xiancao once again extended an olive branch.
Zhao Xianzhi suppressed her surprise and nodded in agreement, but Chang Xiancao had something more surprising waiting for her: "The meat I bought before the New Year has been used to make dumplings, but I haven't had time to stew it these days. Go home and tell Chang Wang to bring the children to our house for dinner tonight."
Zhao Xianzhi couldn't help but ask directly, "What's wrong with you today?"
Chang Xiancao was a little embarrassed: "I just want to invite you to have a meal during the New Year. You can come if you want."
"Come on, why shouldn't I come if you treat me to a meal? If you don't eat something that's already been prepared, you'd be a fool."
Chang Xiancao, the fool who cooks for others: I shouldn't have kept you busying around and worrying about things in the yard just because the captain is not here. I don't think you are the kind of person who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. You've been too tired these days, and I want you to rest for a while!
The women who knew about the relationship between the two sisters-in-law had no time to tease Zhao Xianzhi: "Xiancao has prepared a meal for you to eat, you can't just go there empty-handed."
"She really has to go with empty paws, and when she leaves she has to grab a handful and put it in her pocket."
"Isn't Xiancao going to stew meat for her today? What will happen to her new clothes if the oil gets in her pocket?"
"What should I do? If there's oil, I can just go home and scrape it off to cook the next meal."
The women's laughter accompanied them all the way until they went into their homes one after another and the street returned to peace.
