Chapter 36 The whole family works together



Shen Qingli took out the remaining bottles of sauce from the space and placed them on the back seat. He had to do this at home later, otherwise he didn't know how to explain it.

She took out another set of skincare products, preparing to give one to her mother-in-law later. She also had a large bag of rice and flour, and a large bag of eggs. If anyone from the Meng family asked, they would just say they brought them back from home.

"There are still three days left in your wedding leave. When do you want to go to the family compound? Or stay at home for a few more days?" Meng Xiao was now accustomed to her taking things out of thin air.

Shen Qingli thought for a moment and replied, "The day after tomorrow. You can help me stir-fry the sauce when we get back, and can it tomorrow. I have just finished translating an article and will send it to the newspaper tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we will go to the staff quarters to clean up." As he spoke, he put half a pig, all the ingredients and bottles for the stir-fry sauce in the back seat of the car.

"Okay, let's keep what we made this time at home. Those old men will go and buy it for Grandpa themselves. How about taking you to the movies tomorrow afternoon?"

When he didn't hear a response, Meng Xiao turned around and saw Shen Qingli was distracted. He squeezed her hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Qingli came back to his senses and asked: "How much is a suitable price for the thermos cup?

How about an enamel mug for 1.2 yuan and a thermos for 18 yuan? Isn't that too high?"

"It's not expensive, it's quite suitable. This thing is rare, easy to use and durable. But you can't just use the one you use at home this time. Try a few more colors and styles, and the price can fluctuate."

Meng Xiao spoke without thinking.

Shen Qingli raised his eyebrows and looked at him. This guy has a good business mind!

"Okay, I'll choose." He closed his eyes and entered the space with his consciousness.

I picked out a white, plain thermos and a double-lined glass teacup from the mall, as well as a high-end thermos for my family.

With a thought, five of each type were sent out of the space.

Meng Xiao tutted his words, causing Shen Qingli to stare at him.

He chuckled and said, "I have married a fairy home."

"Hmph, I'm glad to know. You've made a fortune by marrying this fairy!"

Shen Qingli raised his face, looking like a proud cat, very proud.

"Yes, yes, the fairy daughter-in-law is right."

………

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and the more than one-hour drive was over quickly.

"Mom, we're back." Shen Qingli shouted towards the yard. The Meng family hurried out upon hearing the voice.

"Oh, how can you bring back a car full of stuff when you go back home?" Ye Qiu was dumbfounded when he saw the things in the car.

"We left everything we gave away. These are what my mother-in-law asked me to bring back. It's okay."

"Stupid boy!" Father Meng scolded him and helped him get things into the house.

"You all have nothing to do, right? Let's get to work," Meng Xiao closed the door and opened the woven bag, and half a pig appeared in front of the Meng family.

Grandpa Meng raised his hand and slapped Meng Xiao on the back, cursing in a low voice, "Don't you know how much money half a pig costs in favors? And you just took it back like that? What are Qingqing's parents going to eat? You just took it when I told you to?"

Seeing that Grandpa was about to raise his hand again, Shen Qingli hurried over to help Grandpa Meng to the side. "Grandpa, it's okay. Besides, I'll need some of it to make the sauce later."

Meng Dahai was speechless when he heard his grandson's wife ask for it. He glared at his grandson again, saying, "You're incompetent! Your own wife has to ask her family to use their connections to buy her some meat!"

Meng Xiao felt innocent, but since it involved Shen Qingli, he touched his nose angrily and said nothing.

"Aunt Zhang, let's dice the meat together. Mom, please help me wash and cut these vegetables and spices. Meng Xiao, help me."

Shen Qingli made the division of labor clear and everyone took action.

"What about me?" Father Meng saw that everyone had work to do.

"Dad, please help light the fire later."

"Grandpa can cook, but he can't. What can he do? Qingqing, Grandpa will cook for you! Grandpa is really good at cooking. I used to be a cook in his time!"

Grandpa Meng had taken over his son's job, and Father Meng didn't dare say anything. He just pouted and went to help his wife.

He doesn't dare to steal his father's job!

Several people were busy with their work, chatting and laughing. Soon, a strong fragrance came from the Meng family and spread in the air.

Anyone who smells it will feel dizzy.

"What smells so good?"

"It smells so good. I wonder who made this meal."

"Just smelling this aroma can make me eat an extra bowl of rice!"

"Is that the smoke coming out of that Meng family?"

"Just go and take a look and you'll know."

"Lao Lin, why does it smell like fried soybean paste? Did Meng Xiao's wife make soybean paste?"

"I don't know, let's go check it out. It smells really good."

Suddenly, there were many people walking back and forth in front of Meng's house.

The sauce was ready. After Mr. Meng finished lighting the fire, he stood up and prepared to go out for a walk to stretch his legs. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his old friend at the door, about to knock: "Old Lin, why are you here?"

"Wow! Your house smells so good! We came here just because of the smell." Old Master Lin didn't feel embarrassed at all. He took another deep breath. It smelled so good! It must be the meat sauce he had been thinking about day and night!

Meng Dahai was amused: "You old guys have quite a keen nose."

Old Master Wu stretched his neck to look inside but saw nothing: "Old Meng, is Meng Xiao's wife making meat sauce?"

"Come on, let's go in and take a look at the sauce cooked by my granddaughter-in-law. It's so delicious that it will surprise you!" Old Master Meng walked in first, and the few people who were watching the fun outside also followed him in.

Shen Qingli had just washed his hands with the water Meng Xiao brought when he saw a group of people walking in behind his grandfather. He was a little confused: "Grandpa, what's going on?"

"Wife Meng Xiao, I, an old man, came to buy some sauce." Old Master Wu spoke first. He didn't want people to know that he was attracted by the smell, especially since there were younger generations present... It would be embarrassing!
