So Cao Yifei has been at home for two months.
I haven't done anything for such a long time, and my sisters-in-law at home have long been dissatisfied.
When food is already in short supply, how can we not be dissatisfied when there is still a mouth to feed at home?
So her family is now arranging a partner for Cao Yifei, and it would be best if she could get married this year.
Li Xiuying didn't get what she wanted from Jiang Mengxue. She felt a little disappointed and didn't want to chat with her anymore. She got up and prepared to go home.
I happened to meet Jiang Mengran coming back with her calligraphy.
Mobao is awake right now, not crying or making a fuss in his aunt's arms. He is so well-behaved.
Jiang Mengran has been helping her brother and sister-in-law take care of her nephews and nieces since she was a child, so she has a lot of experience in taking care of children.
Jiang Mengxue immediately noticed Tian Xinghe who was pushing a bicycle behind the two of them.
She didn't expect Tian Xinghe to come over too.
But it's normal to think about it. The two are already engaged, so there is no need to avoid suspicion or anything.
It looks like Jiang Mengran won't stay tonight.
He walked up to her and greeted her enthusiastically: "Xinghe is here too, come in quickly, it's a good time for us to have dinner together tonight."
Then he looked at Jiang Mengran and asked, "Did Mobao make a fuss this afternoon? Did he have his milk?"
Jiang Mengxue took the calligraphy, and the little girl had a calm expression on her face.
When he saw it was his mother, he immediately smiled.
Jiang Mengxue couldn't help but feel soft in her heart when she saw her baby's little expression.
I touched the little guy's face and felt happy: "You little guy, you are so smart, you know it's your mother?"
Jiang Mengran rubbed her sore arm and couldn't help but say, "Sister, what does your Mobao eat every day? He's so fat that I almost couldn't hold him all the way."
In the end, her arms were so sore that she could only hold on to the hem of her clothes with one hand, otherwise she would not be able to hold on.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Mengran has never seen any children fatter than her nephew.
It’s just that my sister is good at raising him. Xiaowei from my eldest sister’s family is not as fat as Mobao, and looks like a skinny monkey.
Even though the second sister has only been taking care of the child for a month, the eldest sister should really come to the second sister to ask for experience in raising children.
Jiang Mengxue looked at her fat son and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hahaha, what else could it be? Because I can eat. If you eat several meals a day, you will get fat too.
Put the calligraphy on the kang and ask you to look at it for a while while I go to cook.
Xinghe, please come inside and sit down. We'll have dinner soon."
Having said that, he no longer had time to care about Li Xiuying. She lived across the street anyway, so why should he send her home?
I led the two of them into the house, put Mobao on the kang, and covered it with a pillow. The child was only one month old and couldn't roll over, so there was no need to worry about him falling. I just let him play by himself.
Tian Xinghe was carrying a lot of things in his hands.
Maybe because he knew that her family had no shortage of meat, he brought some local specialties that he bought when he was out driving.
Jiang Mengxue didn't look at it closely and put it aside.
"Xinghe is here for the first time, Xiaoran will show Xinghe around. I'll go cook and call you when I'm done."
It was indeed Tian Xinghe’s first time here. As soon as he entered the house, he found something wrong. The roof was obviously much lower.
The stairs are also in a prominent position, and you can tell at a glance that there is another floor above.
Few people would actually make their homes two-story, but this would indeed double the area, and at least provide several more rooms.
It is really a good choice for those who have a large family but cannot get a house in the short term.
Jiang Mengxue ignored the two of them and went to the kitchen to cook.
I didn’t know Tian Xinghe was coming, so I only cooked for two people.
Jiang Mengxue took out the rice from the pot and scooped out some from the space. It was almost enough for three people to have a meal.
I went out in the evening and fried some braised pork, some green vegetables, and added a braised sea fish, which was given by Wang Hong's family. It was just the right time to add a dish. When I asked, I also knew where the sea fish came from.
"Come down to dinner, you two."
The two were still visiting upstairs. Jiang Mengxue called out but ignored him and took Mo Bao back to her room to feed him.
She was quite busy that day, so Mobao mostly drank milk powder.
Fortunately, Mobao is not a picky eater and will eat whatever you give him.
Otherwise Jiang Mengxue wouldn't be able to go out normally.
The two came down quickly, and Jiang Mengxue invited them to have dinner.
"Sister, how did you make so much, and there's even rice!"
The few times Jiang Mengran had eaten rice since he was a child were all at Jiang Mengxue's house.
They mostly grow wheat, but they don't have many opportunities to eat fine grains.
It’s nice to be able to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. Everyone will be very happy if they can get a few.
Rice is very rare, and there are not many grain stores selling rice here, mainly because not much is grown.
The main dish is usually pasta, so there are not many people like Jiang Mengxue who often eat dry rice.
Jiang Mengran had eaten rice a few times and liked it very much, but rice was relatively expensive, and eating fine grains was not as cost-effective as eating coarse grains, so she had never eaten it on her own.
Tian Xinghe was also quite surprised. Someone from his family sent him five kilograms of rice, and his mother cooked a meal of rice, which he ate once.
At other times, even if there is rice at home, the most we can do is make some rice soup, and forget about eating it dry.
"It just so happened that I went to Brother Li's house this afternoon, and my sister-in-law gave me two sea fish. I'm not very good at cooking them, so you guys just have to make do with them."
They all work in the same unit. Wang Hong's family has seafood that they ask others to bring back. Tian Xinghe and his father often travel long distances by train, so they probably often encounter people asking them to bring things, so there should be quite a lot of seafood.
Sure enough, Tian Xinghe said: "We also passed through coastal cities when we were driving, but we were not good at processing it, and the food we made was not tasty.
I ate it once in their local state-owned restaurant, and it was so delicious.
Maybe it has something to do with the freshness of the seafood. It’s really delicious. I would love to go there again if I have the chance.
Bring some back so we can all try it."
They are not near the sea, so even if there is seafood, they don’t know how to eat it. If they stir-fry it like usual, it will definitely not taste good, but they don’t have the skills to do that.
It’s good enough if we can eat it and not waste it.
Tian Xinghe took a bite and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately gave a thumbs-up and praised Jiang Mengxue, "Sister, your cooking skills are really good. I feel that the sea fish you cook is no worse than the ones I eat in state-owned restaurants."
Jiang Mengxue was delighted by the compliment and said modestly, "No, I just made it casually. My cooking skills are average. It's fine as long as you can get used to it."
Seeing that Tian Xinghe was really enjoying the food, Jiang Mengran was also a little curious about how delicious it would be.
I picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in my mouth to taste it.
It feels very different from the taste of fish we usually eat.
It is much more delicious than the fresh fish we usually eat.
"Sister, you are such a great cook. Everything you cook tastes delicious."
Whether it's sea fish or braised pork, even the simple stir-fried vegetables with garlic taste better than others.
Especially when eaten with rice, if food was not limited, she could eat three big bowls.
