"Second sister?"
Xu Yan looked at the tired-looking woman standing not far away and shouted in surprise.
He quickly walked over and asked, "Second sister, why are you here?"
I was going to inform my eldest and second sisters that I was getting married tomorrow, so why did my second sister come early? Could it be that she heard some rumors and came back first? I looked at the two children again and felt very happy.
"Brother Yan, I came back to take a look. Who is this?" Second sister Xu Ya said to Xu Yan, then looked at Tang Yiyi with a questioning look on her face.
Xu Yan glanced at Tang Yiyi and said, "Second sister, this is my wife, Tang Yiyi. We are going to have a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow."
"Are you getting married?" Xu Ya's serious question made Xu Yan frown.
Seeing Xu Yan frown, and afraid that this clever brother might find out something, he immediately said, "Oh, I forgot. I came back just because I heard you were getting married."
"I heard the villagers talking about it yesterday, so I came back to take a look. It's been a long time since I came back. It's just right for me to come back for a few days." Xu Ya continued to explain.
Xu Yan guessed that her second sister was hiding something, but did not ask any further questions.
"Yi Yi, this is my second sister, and these are her two children." Xu Yan picked up the little boy and walked to Tang Yi and said to her.
Tang Yiyi greeted Xu Ya with a smile: "Hello, second sister." She took the package from her hand, but Xu Ya refused to accept it.
"Let me get it myself." Xu Ya liked her sister-in-law very much. The more she looked at her, the more beautiful she seemed.
"Second sister, don't be polite. You must be exhausted after traveling such a long distance. I'll carry the baby, or I'll hold it for you." Tang Yiyi's caring tone made Xu Ya's nose sour and her vision blurred.
I also agreed: "Okay, the child is heavy, I will carry the child, you get this for me."
Tang Yiyi took the package, feeling it was light and guessed that it was probably full of clothes. She looked at Xu Ya again and thought that this was her second sister returning to her parents' home and something must have happened.
After looking at each other silently, Xu Yan and I had guessed almost everything in our minds, and finally decided to go home.
"Second sister, go back first, go home and sit down and talk."
Xu Ya knew that Xu Yan had guessed something, so she didn't say anything and followed Xu Yan home.
On the way, Tang Yiyi gave each of the two children a candy and asked them what their names were. The boy seemed to be a little bolder and said to Tang Yiyi, "My name is Zhao Yunfei, and my sister's name is Zhao Yuncai."
After hearing this, Tang Yiyi praised their names as nice.
"Hurry up and thank your aunt." Xu Ya said to the two children. The two children were very well-behaved and called their aunt softly.
Tang Yiyi was happy to hear that. She touched the child's head and said with emotion: I have to say that the Xu family's genes are very strong. These children have inherited all the advantages of the Xu family. They are all very beautiful, especially this little girl, who looks like a glutinous rice dumpling, white and clean.
The children in the countryside could still be fair and clean, and she had only seen children from the Xu family.
When they got home, everyone was there. They were all very happy to see Xu Ya back, especially Liu Xiaofeng, who hugged Xu Ya with joy and started crying.
Tang Yiyi knew this scene. Naturally, the mother and daughter had a lot to talk about, so they went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner for tonight.
I wasted a lot of time on the road today and met my second sister, so when I came back, it was time to cook dinner. Tang Yiyi looked at the meat on the chopping board and thought about stewing the braised pork and adding some apples. Just thinking about it made her feel that it would be perfect only if she had two bowls of rice.
I thought about washing the rice and cooking it first. Just as I poured the rice into the pot, Song Lianxiu came in.
"Third sister-in-law, let me light the fire." As he said this, he sat down at the pot door and added fire to the big pot on the right.
Tang Yiyi added water to the rice and started cutting meat. He cut a two-pound piece of pork belly into pieces, then went into the house to get three big apples and put them aside for later use.
Seeing that Tang Yiyi was about to cook, Liu Xiaofeng was about to get up and cook. Xu Ya also wanted to help, but Xu Yan stopped them and said, "You two should have a good chat. Yiyi will cook tonight."
As he said this, he looked towards the kitchen: How could I not love this daughter-in-law? She considers everything.
As soon as she entered the house, she whispered to herself that she would cook tonight so that her mother and second sister could have a good chat, as they hadn't seen each other for such a long time.
Missing her daughter dearly, Liu Xiaofeng was moved by Xu Yan's words and chatted with Xu Ya again and again.
Tang Yiyi in the kitchen handed the remaining apple core to Song Lianxiu who was stoking the fire: "Second sister-in-law, here, it's very sweet."
Song Lianxiu looked at the apple core, which was so big that the flesh on it was enough for him to take a few bites. He felt a little embarrassed to take it, but he still swallowed silently.
I tasted it two days ago and found the apple sweet and thirst-quenching, but I still refused: "Sister-in-law, you eat it."
"Second sister-in-law, take it quickly. There is still a lot here. I cut it and put it in the stewed meat. Eat it quickly." Tang Yiyi handed it forward again.
Song Lianxiu took it, but she wasn't ready to eat it herself. She was still thinking about her two daughters. Tang Yiyi saw through her thoughts and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can eat it. If you want apples, I have more. Children don't have to eat everything. Otherwise, they will become selfish and unwilling to share."
Under Tang Yiyi's persuasion, Song Lianxiu ate the large apple core himself.
After a while, a sweet fragrance wafted out. Tang Yiyi scooped out the braised pork, put it aside, and sealed it tightly. He let the soup in the pot soak up the water, added some water, and washed the pot.
I fried another vegetable and finally completed the meal.
When Tang Yiyi came out of the pot house, the children were already playing together, completely free of the shyness and timidity they had at the beginning.
