Jiang Manyue turned around when she heard footsteps and saw Li Guifen standing behind her in a daze. She ordered her bluntly, "Mom, please cook the meal. Don't steam the buns. Braised eggplant is better with rice."
Li Guifen didn't know what was wrong, but after listening to her, she really went to wash rice and cook.
Seeing that she was moving, Jiang Manyue stopped paying attention to her and focused her attention on the food in the pot again.
She had rarely used this kind of earthen stove pot in her previous life, and she learned the skill of making fire from the original owner's memory. She was a little afraid that she would not be able to control the heat well and burn the vegetables.
Li Guifen was washing rice by the well when she suddenly came to her senses and wondered why she was so obedient and did whatever she was told to do.
Looking into the kitchen, Li Guifen couldn't help but pick up the washed rice and hurried back in.
Jiang Manyue has been married for more than a year and Li Guifen has never seen her cook. She doesn't know whether she can cook or not. She is a little worried that she will burn the whole pot of food and she will have to clean up the mess in the end.
Li Guifen walked into the kitchen again. The braised eggplant in the pot had already smelled fragrant and it looked very much like the real thing.
Smelling the fragrance of eggplant, Li Guifen temporarily gave up the idea of taking over and put the rice into the pot to simmer, but she was reluctant to leave, so she stood aside and watched Jiang Manyue cook.
Li Guifen looked at the shiny eggplants in the pot, and her gaze immediately shifted to the oil bottle next to it. Seeing that the oil was not much less, she reluctantly felt relieved.
"Mom, if you're alright, please help me watch the fire. It's quite inconvenient for me to do it alone."
Li Guifen originally wanted to supervise Jiang Manyue in the kitchen, but when she heard that she was assigned more work, she had no choice but to sit in front of the stove and watch the fire.
The braised eggplant was simmered in the pot for a long time before being taken out. The remaining scrambled eggs with leeks were much simpler. They were just stir-fried for a few times and served.
Now that Lu's father and Lu Jun'an were not home, Jiang Manyue kept the dishes warm in the pot, preparing to eat together when they came back.
After a while, Lu's father came back from work, and Lu Jun'an was also sent home by Jiang Hong and others.
Li Guifen brought the dishes to the table and also brought a bowl of rice.
"Why does this food smell so good today?"
Lu Qingyou smelled the aroma of the food and couldn't help swallowing.
Li Guifen looked at Jiang Manyue who was sitting aside without any reaction, and replied casually, "Manyue made it, it's delicious, so eat more."
Although there was not much oil in the oil bottle, it was obvious that the eggplant was cooked with a lot of oil. Li Guifen wanted Lu Qing to eat more so that he would be more energetic at work.
As for where the oil came from, Li Guifen thought that Jiang Manyue must have bought the oil herself and added it, because she had a lot of money and tickets on hand, and there might be a few oil tickets mixed in.
Lu Qingyou was the first to serve the rice. He picked up a piece of braised eggplant with chopsticks and his eyes suddenly widened.
Li Guifen was about to say something when she saw him quickly take a big mouthful of rice, then pick up a piece of fried leek and egg with chopsticks, and eat it with great relish.
Lu Jun'an had been playing for the entire afternoon and was extremely hungry. He took the half bowl of rice and vegetables that his grandmother had served him and hurriedly put it into his mouth.
Li Guifen was supposed to serve herself, but Jiang Manyue made dinner today, so she handed the spoon to Jiang Manyue and signaled her to serve first.
Jiang Manyue was not polite either. She served herself the rice, picked up a dish with chopsticks, and began to eat slowly.
Li Guifen was the last one to eat the dish, but she couldn't stop eating once she started. She took one chopstick after another and finished a big bowl of rice without realizing it.
"Grandma, I want more food. I want lots and lots of delicious food!"
Lu Junan quickly finished the rice in his bowl. He usually only ate half a bowl of rice, but today he was not full at all and kept clamoring for a second bowl.
The same thing happened to Lu Qingyou. He devoured three bowls of rice in no time and still wanted a fourth bowl.
The whole pot of rice was divided up. Fortunately, Jiang Manyue didn't have a big appetite, so the first bowl of rice was enough for her, otherwise she would have to have another meal tonight.
The soup from the last two bowls of dishes was scraped clean and eaten together with the rice. The originally greasy bowls were now so clean as if they had never contained any food.
Lu Jun'an licked the oil on his lips and burped contentedly, "Aunt's cooking is so delicious. I wish I could eat such delicious food every day in the future."
He was young and didn't think about it that much. He just knew that the dishes for dinner tonight were delicious, better than any he had eaten before. He didn't notice that his grandmother's face suddenly looked a little gloomy.
Lu Qingyou agreed with his grandson's words in his heart, but seeing that his old wife looked a little lonely, he swallowed his words back and only praised Jiang Manyue twice without saying anything else.
Regarding Lu Junan's idea, Jiang Manyue only said that she would do it once if she had time, and she didn't want to take on all the cooking work herself for the time being.
The original owner was a lazy person to begin with. If she started working and cooking in a hurry as soon as she arrived, even a pig would know that there was something wrong with her.
Lu Jun'an was a little disappointed to learn that his aunt didn't cook every day, but when he thought that he would still be able to eat it in the future, he became happy again.
Lu Qingyou was the same. He didn't expect his daughter-in-law to cook at home every day. It would be good enough if she could improve their meals occasionally.
Li Guifen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but although she envied other daughters-in-law for taking care of the housework, washing clothes and cooking, she would still feel uncomfortable if Jiang Manyue really cooked at home every day.
More importantly, she and Lao Lu asked A Lin to come back from vacation and divorce Jiang Manyue. If she was used to cooking, how would she cook after the other person passed away?
The family finished the dinner with their own thoughts. Jiang Manyue simply washed up and went to bed. She was really tired after a busy whole day.
Jiang Manyue woke up early the next morning after a dreamless night.
Looking at the sky outside the window which was still dark, Jiang Manyue sighed and said that life these days is so healthy. People go to bed early and get up early every day, and their life is very regular.
Because there is not even a light in the house, I can't stay up late.
After getting up and washing up, because Jiang Manyue didn't like eating pickles with porridge, she didn't go to have breakfast with her in-laws. Instead, she went to the supermarket to pick out some delicious food.
When passing by the leather shoes area, Jiang Manyue glanced at it inadvertently and suddenly found that the storage area, where she had taken away one-third of the goods, was actually full?
Jiang Manyue stood in front of the stacking area and doubted herself for a long time. She really remembered that she took away one-third of the leather shoes, and those shoe boxes were the simplest cardboard boxes. She also wanted to say that these shoe boxes really made it convenient for her to ship the goods, and she didn't have to find other packaging.
But the storage area in front of him was clearly full, and it didn't look like anything had been taken away from him at all.
Jiang Manyue suddenly felt a chill on her back. What was going on in this supermarket? How could the things that were clearly taken away appear again?
