For dinner, we had noodle soup. Although I still couldn't taste any saltiness, the oil floating on top was clearly visible.
"Wow! My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious! If I wasn't afraid of eating the family out of house and home, I could eat four or five bowls of rice in one meal!"
Four or five bowls is an understatement. He was afraid that if he said too much, his mother would feel sorry that he wasn't getting enough to eat, and if she cooked too much, there would be less and less food left.
"They've added lard to the noodle soup, how could it not be delicious!"
Lin Chaodong retorted, but even food couldn't shut him up.
Lin Chaobei pursed his lips and remained silent. He had noticed that today, not only had his mother and sister-in-law gotten along better, but even his older brother and sister-in-law had become a bit too affectionate, making it unbearable to watch.
Little Man'er's big eyes darted around, looking at this and then at that, her mouth never stopping, not even trying to speak. She just wanted her belly to grow bigger and bigger, so that she could eat four or five bowls of noodle soup, just like Little Da Da had said.
(︶.?︶?)
In the dead of night, Yue Jiuyue heard Liu Shi humming again. She consciously took out her earplugs and put them on. While feeling sorry for the two brothers across the street, she once again planned to expand the courtyard and build two more houses.
Building two houses wouldn't cost much. The walls are made of mud bricks, and the roof beams can be cut from the mountain. If there's not enough time, you can borrow them from the villagers and return one that's about right. The only thing that costs money is the roof tiles. You also need to hire people to build the houses. Even if you don't pay them, you have to provide them with meals.
So it's quite feasible. They have a lot of mud bricks in their yard, but not enough to build two rooms.
Lost in thought, Yue Jiuyue fell asleep in the quiet surroundings.
The next day, Yue Jiuyue didn't need to observe carefully to see that Lin Chaodong looked refreshed, Liu Shi's eyes were alluring, Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei seemed a little sleep-deprived, and only Xiao Man'er was as usual.
Sure enough, the house had to be built.
After breakfast, the three brothers still had to go sell sweet potatoes. Earning money couldn't be delayed, so Yue Jiuyue postponed the discussion about building a house. Anyway, it wouldn't make a difference if they spent a day or two.
"Mother, I'm making a cotton coat for Xiaoman'er's father today. Do you want to come and help me? Keep an eye on Xiaoman'er so she doesn't keep causing trouble."
This was not an excuse for Liu to get closer to Yue Jiuyue, although she did indeed want to get closer to her mother-in-law.
If Xiaoman sees me making cotton-padded clothes, the cotton wadding will definitely become her new toy, and I won't have to do this job anymore.
"Then I'll take her out for a stroll."
She didn't want to face Liu's enthusiasm again. Suddenly, she missed the whiny girl she was when she first transmigrated. Although her constant "whining" was annoying, it was still better than facing her like yesterday.
Why doesn't Liu use that clingy attitude on Lin Chaodong? Maybe Liu will get pregnant with her second child soon.
"Grandma, I want to play by the lake, there are little fish in it!"
The little girl pointed to South Lake, wanting to go over and see the fish.
"Are there fish in the lake?"
Could it be that the spring water she bought wasn't actually spring water? Otherwise, how could there be fish in this lake? Before the lake was filled in, the bottom was not only so dry that it was cracked, but the bottom of the lake was also dug two meters deep.
"Yes, last night (yesterday), my dad, my three older brothers, and my two younger brothers were playing with me here. There were fish by the lake, this big ones."
The little girl was measuring the size of the fish, her arms stretched behind her back.
