Chapter 178: Tricks
"Xinbai, come and see how this dish is made?" At this time, Sun Erni in the kitchen poked her head out and asked Jiang Xinbai.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Jiang Xinbai responded and walked to the kitchen. Looking at what her mother-in-law was carrying, she smiled and said, "Mom, this is dried abalone. My eldest sister brought it over. I soaked it last night. I'll put it in when I make the braised pork later."
"Will it taste good like this? Don't waste this pot of braised pork." Sun Erni looked at the abalone soaked in the bowl with some suspicion. When they still lived together before, she had also made dried abalone, but at that time she always cooked it into porridge. She had never tried cooking it with braised pork.
"It's delicious. I've tried it. Don't worry, Mom!"
"Okay, since you said you can do it!"
"Mom, Xiaobao is crying and is looking for you!" At this time, Yang Jinsheng walked in holding the child.
When Sun Erni turned around and saw her grandson crying, her heart softened. She wiped her hands on her apron, took the child and comforted him, saying, "Oh, who bullied our good little treasure? Was it your dad? Grandma will beat you back." As she spoke, she reached out and hit Yang Jinsheng a few times.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jinsheng was unhappy. He said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, I didn't offend this little ancestor. I guess he is sleepy, so he came to find you!"
"Oh, so you want to sleep. Come, let grandma put you to sleep first. Xinbai, I have washed everything that needs to be washed. You can cook the dishes that have taken a long time first. I will help you after I put Xiaobao to sleep."
Jiang Xinbai smiled and said, "Mom, I can do it myself, you go and comfort Xiaobao!"
"Yes, Mom. I'll help my third brother's wife." At this time, Su Qiuyan came over from the living room, took off her mother-in-law's apron and put it on herself. After washing her hands, she took the knife and started cutting vegetables.
Jiang Xinbai didn't know what to say when he saw this, so he could only smile and say, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law!"
"No need to thank me, we are all family, why are you being so polite? My sister-in-law can't come today because she's at work, so I have to help you."
Although Jiang Xinbai also invited Li Huifen's family, his sister-in-law and brother were reluctant to take leave, so they sent their two daughters as representatives, while the couple continued to work to make money.
"Yeah, the timing is not right. My eldest brother and his wife both have to go to work. My second brother can't come today, right?"
"He can't come, and he's not willing to take leave. Our family depends entirely on your second brother to make money. By the way, third sister-in-law," Su Qiuyan looked up at Jiang Xinbai, then glanced behind Leyan with her peripheral vision. Seeing that there was no one around, she dared to ask in a low voice, "How much did mom give Xiaobao? Ten or twenty? When Lili turned one, mom gave her ten. I thought that Xiaobao was the eldest grandson of our Yang family, and mom loved him so much, so the red envelope she gave would never be less than ten, don't you think?"
Jiang Xinbai's eyebrows jumped at her question, and she glanced at the expression on Su Qiuyan's face, which looked very sincere. However, her mother-in-law had told her in advance that she could only say ten yuan, so she smiled and replied, "Look at what my second sister-in-law said, there is no such thing as the eldest grandson or not, they are all grandchildren of the Yang family, and in my heart they are all the same. I also gave Xiaobao ten yuan, and I am very happy."
"You only gave me ten yuan?" Su Qiuyan was a little unconvinced. "Third sister-in-law, you wouldn't hide it from me, would you? It doesn't matter. I won't say that mom is partial to me. We are all family..."
Jiang Xinbai rolled her eyes secretly, thinking, you are the best at comparison, she is not stupid! But she turned her head and saw something, and shouted to her mother-in-law who was walking behind her: "Mom, my second sister-in-law said that you also gave ten yuan to Lili when she turned one year old. Although I don’t think you gave Xiaobao ten yuan too little, but from what my second sister-in-law said, I think you gave too little, after all, Xiaobao is the eldest grandson of the Yang family."
As soon as Su Qiu heard Jiang Xinbai calling "Mom", she felt something was wrong. She gritted her teeth and looked behind her, and saw her mother-in-law staring at her.
"No, Mom, I'm not that interesting, I just..."
Sun Erni frowned, "Qiuyan, tell me clearly, when did I give Lili ten yuan? If your sister-in-law hears this, she will make a scene again."
Su Qiuyayan immediately became honest when her mother-in-law asked her. She stammered, "I remembered it wrong. Mom, you didn't give me ten yuan, you gave me five yuan. It was mom who gave me ten yuan at the beginning. I got it mixed up."
Sun Erni let out a long sigh, "I told you, my memory is not that bad. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are trying to stir up trouble with Xin Bai!"
"Mom, I didn't mean that." Su Qiuyan quickly defended herself.
"No, there is no best. Let's get to work. There are only three of us cooking today, so we need to be quick."
"oh."
Jiang Xinbai was secretly pleased with herself. She knew that Su Qiuyan was trying to trick her. Fortunately, she managed to keep her composure and didn't reveal the red envelope of 88 yuan.
After working for several hours, they finally prepared two tables of food and enjoyed the hot meals at around 11:30.
"Come on, everyone, sit down and have a good meal."
"Hey, I can finally eat. I've been hungry since I smelled the delicious food."
Everyone consciously picked up their bowls and chopsticks and took the dishes they wanted to eat.
"Hmm, it's delicious. Today is really thanks to Xiaobao. By the way, where is Xiaobao?"
"He's asleep. Hurry up and eat. Only when he's asleep can we all have a good meal. Otherwise, he'll get greedy when he sees you eating."
Wu Hehua was eating braised pork and felt so good. It would be great if she could eat braised pork every day. As she was thinking, she saw Sun Ju beside her only picking up food for the two children, while she only had some vegetables in her bowl. She curled her lips and said, "Sun Ju, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Xiaodong and Xiaoxi are so old, and you're still picking up food for them. Look at yourself, there are only a few vegetables in your bowl. If people tell others about it, they will think Xiaobai doesn't let you eat meat!" After that, she reached out and picked up a piece of braised pork and threw it into Sun Ju's bowl, and explained, "I didn't mean to pick it up for you. I didn't hold it tightly and it fell down by itself."
Sun Ju looked at the meat in the bowl and smiled at Wu Hehua, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Why are you thanking me? I didn't treat you to a meal. You should thank Xiaobai."
Jiang Xinbai smiled at the awkward eldest sister-in-law, then said to the second sister-in-law Sun Ju: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I've saved some for the second brother. You can bring it back to him after he finishes eating. He can heat it up and eat it in the evening."
Sun Ju nodded gratefully after hearing what her sister-in-law said. In fact, it wasn't that she was in need of meat, but her husband had borrowed a lot of money to buy a job, and in order to pay it back as soon as possible, the four of them hadn't had meat for a long time, and the way the two children ate it was obvious.
After lunch, Jiang Xinbai packed some dishes for those who were not there, including both meat and vegetarian dishes, which was quite good.
Chen Cui'e always felt that her daughter-in-law kept looking at her face, but when she touched her own face, there was nothing stuck on it!
Bai Qianqian took advantage of the fact that her mother-in-law Chen Cui'e was alone, and she quickly came over and asked in a low voice: "Mom, my sister-in-law said you have a secret recipe for having children, can you also give me and Baocheng a copy?"
