Chapter 74: Then let...Xu Bao be given to aunt as a concubine?
Lin Xiulian came in and saw Xuebao in the arms of warm wine, so she quickly called her down.
"Zhang Xuebao!"
"You little bandit!"
"Don't you know how much you weigh? How dare you let your aunt hug you? Come down quickly."
Zhang Xuebao hugged the neck of the wine-warming woman to show his refusal with his actions, "Pretty auntie, you smell good."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law. Our little Snow Baby is not fat."
"This is so cute!"
"Yes! So cute!" Zhang Xuebao raised his little face proudly and looked at Lin Xiulian, as if he had found a backer and was particularly arrogant.
Lin Xiulian couldn't do anything to her, "I think you are just itchy."
Lu Qingqing poured her some water, "Sister-in-law, please drink some water!"
White sugar was added to the water.
They are used to serving tea to male guests and sweet soup to female guests.
"Okay, thank you!" Lin Xiu Lian took the cup of water from Lu Qing Qing and put it on the table in front of her to cool.
Although Zhang Xuebao is really cute, he is also really fat. She felt her arms getting sore and her forehead sweating after holding him for a while. She put Zhang Xuebao down and said, "Xuebao, stay here and play with mommy. Auntie, go find some delicious food for our Xuebao."
Lin Xiulian pulled Xuebao over and said to Wenjiu in a chastised tone, "Don't bother me. We came here after having a full meal at home. If you are so polite, I will be embarrassed to bring her to your house to play again in the future."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "How can I be polite? I'll be embarrassed if you say that again!"
After she finished speaking, she went back to the room, brought out some peach cakes for them to eat, and also took out the remaining watermelon from the refrigerator and cut it.
"Come on, Olaf."
Olaf took the watermelon handed to him with warm wine and immediately started to eat it impatiently.
Lin Xiulian reminded him, "Zhang Xuebao, your aunt gave you watermelon and peach cakes. Have you thanked her?"
"Thank you, beautiful auntie!"
After hearing Lin Xiulian's reminder, Xue Bao looked up while holding the watermelon and thanked Wen Jiu sweetly. Her face was covered with watermelon juice, which made her originally fair face look thinly pink, making her look even more adorable.
She was only three and a half years old, but very smart, well-behaved and sweet-talking, completely breaking the image that Wen Jiu had imagined from Lin Xiulian's description of her as a young lady who could bring down a building with her cries.
As I was drinking the wine, I felt my heart melt. It seemed like there was such a lovely little lady! Oh, oh, oh… I love her so much. She is so cute!
If she has a little concubine, and her face looks like Lu Beiye...it's over!
I can’t even imagine it!
Thinking about it again, she might not be able to resist pulling Lu Beiye to start making a baby tonight!
After playing for a while, Lin Xiulian went into the kitchen with some warm wine. Lu Qingqing was playing with Xue Bao in the living room. She carefully wiped the watermelon juice off her face with a handkerchief and brought it to the kitchen for her to wash.
Olaf blinked his dark eyes and waved his hand to signal Lu Qingqing to squat down.
Lu Qingqing squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Baji——”
Xue Bao kissed Lu Qingqing, squinted his eyes and giggled, "Thank you, sister, you are so beautiful! Xue Bao likes it."
"Sister likes Olaf, too!"
Lin Xiulian heard the laughter outside and said to Wen Jiu with a smile: "This little chatterbox of mine makes my ears deaf every day. I really want to send her to school tomorrow."
Seeing other people sending their children to school every day, she was almost jealous.
Wen Jiu also laughed, "Tomorrow is Sunday, and there will be no classes in school. It's useless for you to send it there."
"Look at my head!"
The two of them were chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere.
Wenjiu took out the beans, cowpeas and eggplants that needed to be dried, and Lin Xiulian demonstrated to her as she spoke.
"Put the cowpeas in a pot when water is boiling, add some salt, and cook until they turn green. Then take them out and dry them. Use needle and thread to string them together and hang them in the yard to dry in the sun. The sun is strong, so they will be basically dry in two or three days. Sew them into bags and put them in the house. When you need to eat them, take them out and soak them in water. In winter, they are very delicious when stir-fried with meat or stewed with bones."
"The same is true for beans. Cut the eggplant into strips, as thick as my fingers, mix well with salt to kill the moisture, and then put it in the steamer to steam. It doesn't need to be fully cooked, you can take it out to dry when it's half cooked."
"You can also dry cucumbers. If you want to dry cucumbers, just take out the pulp, slice it, and dry it directly. You can still soak it in water when you eat it."
Dried eggplant is delicious when stir-fried with meat or steamed with meat as a base for a bowl.
There are not many kinds of vegetables to eat in winter, so they are used to drying the vegetables that cannot be eaten in summer and storing them for winter.
Lin Xiulian taught very carefully, and Wen Jiu also learned very seriously. By the time the two of them came out of the kitchen, it was already two hours later.
Lu Qingqing said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please sit down and take a rest. I have some water on the table for you."
"I'll get the needle and thread."
After she finished speaking, she went to look for needle and thread. Wen Jiu and Lin Xiu Lian sat on the stools to rest.
When Olaf saw that both of them were sweating profusely, he took out his handkerchief from his pocket and ran over to wipe their sweat, wiping left and right, without neglecting anyone, and the main point was fairness and justice.
This made Wenjiu want to laugh, this little guy is really cute!
"Thank you Olaf!"
Xue Bao raised his head and said, "You're welcome. Mom said we can't eat other people's food for free."
What she meant was that if she wiped the sweat off the wine warmer, it wouldn't be considered a free meal.
Lin Xiulian said helplessly: "Even the two times you wiped your aunt's sweat, it was not as even as a cat's paw! How dare you say that."
Wen Jiu reached out and held Olaf in his arms, teasing her deliberately, "It seems to be true. Olaf, think about what to do? You can't let Olaf eat Auntie's watermelon and peach cakes for free!"
She pinched Olaf's cheeks, played with his chubby arms, and squeezed his little belly. She thought everything about him was cute.
Olaf scratched his head, "Then...then let's give Olaf to Auntie as her daughter! When Olaf grows up, she can earn money to buy watermelons and peach cakes for Auntie."
"Hahaha……"
Wenjiu laughed like crazy, "Sister-in-law, Xuebao said she wants to be my maiden!"
Lin Xiulian said with a smile: "Okay, I will leave her to you when I get home later. You can take her to change her name tomorrow."
When Xue Bao heard his mother say that she wanted to leave him to his aunt, he immediately became anxious and ran over to hug her arms and said, "Mom, don't."
"Aren't you going to go with your aunt?"
"Be your aunt's concubine! Mom will go home and have a new baby with your dad." Lin Xiulian deliberately pushed Olaf away.
"Wow--"
Olaf burst into tears instantly.
