Su Ruobai felt hungry when she heard about food.
Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it; she had a really tough day.
As for her father-in-law standing next to her, fuming.
No rush, let's talk about it after we finish eating.
Getting angry is not bad either; consider it as improving blood circulation.
Looking back at the two people who had been following her, she said in a suggestive tone, "How about we eat first?"
Let's talk about everything after we finish eating.
She figured the two of them were hungry too.
Wang Wu didn't care about anything else and nodded earnestly: "Eat up, I'm starving. I'm exhausted every day."
The key point is that he is also a patient with a fractured rib.
Does anyone even take him seriously?
Tian Tian had at least experienced a few years of hardship, having to be subservient to others.
Knowing that this was a genuine invitation from the Xiao family, and not just polite talk, and besides, she was indeed hungry.
She replied somewhat shyly, "Thank you so much, Aunt and Uncle. I really haven't eaten much all day."
Hearing what these people said, Aunt Xiao's eyes showed concern, but her face was full of joy: "Yes, yes, let's eat first. You must be tired after a long day. Let's eat first."
"Come inside, come inside! It's still quite chilly this afternoon. Wait here, Auntie will get you some food."
As they spoke, they ushered the person into the house.
She likes honest kids.
Seeing Xiao Aimin sitting on the threshold smoking a pipe, he grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up.
"What are you doing sitting here? Hurry up, Xiao Su and the others haven't eaten yet. Go and knead the dough, I'll roll out some noodles for them."
That one plate of dumplings is definitely not enough for the three of them.
Wang Wu didn't think much of it; since the old couple had already said they would treat everyone, they could just wait to eat.
Tian Tian felt embarrassed.
The leg that was about to step over the threshold was pulled back.
How could we let the host do all the work themselves?
Somewhat hesitantly, she said, "Auntie, let me do it. I know how to do this, and I'm very good at it!"
I didn't know how to do it before, but after staying in Houshantun for the past few years, I've learned everything!
Aunt Xiao looked at her with disapproval and quickly ushered her into the house: "Oh dear, there's no need for you to do this. It'll be quick, just a moment."
You can eat first. There's a plate of dumplings and some soup in the stove. There are also some cornbreads at home for you to have.
I'll start the fire now. Once your uncle has kneaded the dough, I'll roll it out and cook it. It'll be quick, just a little while. Wait a minute, okay? Auntie's noodles are delicious; I guarantee you'll want to eat them again after this one."
Then he walked to the door and shouted in a flurry, "Tiedan, Tiedan, come home!"
Come back and start a fire for me.
Then a crisp voice came from outside the door: "Hey, Grandma, I'm here!"
Then I heard the distinctive squelching sound of feet running on the dirt road.
Luo Xiaoyu, who lived just a wall away, came out of the house, carrying a small basket in her hand.
There were two fried dough sticks inside.
Luo Xiaoyu called out from this side of the wall, handing the small basket over the wall to this side: "Mom, Mom, I have two more fried pancakes here, fresh out of the pan. Take them to his third aunt to eat first. I also have some stir-fried potato shreds on the stove, I'll bring them over in a bit."
When Su Ruobai arrived, Luo Xiaoyu was stir-frying vegetables with a sizzling sound.
Everyone knows that more oil makes the food taste better, but this oil is rare, and there's only a little bit available each year.
To save on oil while still making delicious food, Luo Xiaoyu went to great lengths.
I've finally figured it out: stir-fry in a hot pan, then add some vinegar and salt.
Add some chopped green onions and chili peppers, and these shredded potatoes will taste delicious.
She knew to come out as soon as she heard the noise.
If you don't stir the vegetables right after they're cooked, they'll definitely burn.
Once it's almost cooked, add some cold water and bring it to a boil. By then, you'll have some space left.
Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly brought over two freshly made fried pancakes.
Fried dough cakes are precious, but giving them to her third younger brother and sister-in-law is no big deal.
She's now just waiting for it to snow so she can put on her new scarf and go out and dazzle everyone.
To save them from constantly nagging about how a sister-in-law is subservient to her brother's wife.
Bah! Look at what kind of woman this sister-in-law is.
The new military uniform her son was wearing was something that many children in the village envied.
So many children cried and begged for it but didn't get it, and then got a good beating.
She didn't say how much it was worth.
If she weren't afraid of causing trouble for her third sister-in-law, she would have told these people who were talking nonsense for no reason.
These were all given to her by her third brother and sister-in-law.
Her third brother's wife is a good person, and she's happy to be with her.
Aunt Xiao was also happy to see others treat her third daughter-in-law well.
When Luo Xiaoyu called her, she still brought over something as precious as fried dough sticks.
Aunt Xiao's gaze towards her second daughter-in-law became even more kind and gentle.
This piece of wood has improved!
When Luo Xiaoyu saw her mother-in-law's loving gaze, which was even more maternal than her own mother's, she felt she had done the right thing.
Sure enough, anything involving his third brother and sister-in-law was bound to be wonderful.
Su Ruobai wasn't ungrateful, so she thanked her as well: "Second sister-in-law, thank you so much. I was really hungry. It smelled so good just now. Second sister-in-law, your cooking is impeccable."
Luo Xiaoyu is easily flattered, especially by her own younger brother and sister-in-law; her face turns bright red.
She hurriedly said, "I'm still cooking some vegetables in the pot. Wait a minute, I'll bring them to you when my sister-in-law finishes cooking."
