During dinner, the Shen family once again experienced Shen Qingmiao's superb cooking skills.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal and praised it highly.
Although Mother Shen felt the same way, she inexplicably felt heartbroken when she saw the food being wasted.
If we do this every day, there won’t be enough food at home.
So after dinner, when everyone decided that Shen Qingmiao would cook the meals from now on, Shen's mother objected, "I will still cook the meals tomorrow."
Shen Jianmin dissuaded her, "Don't, Mom. Miaomiao is doing a good job, so let her do it. You should take a good rest."
When Li Zhaodi heard Shen Jianmin speak first, she immediately said, "Yes, Mom. Just take a good rest and let your daughter respect you well."
As a result, Shen's mother said, "I haven't even enjoyed the filial piety of my daughter-in-law, and I'm looking forward to my daughter's. How about you, Li Zhaodi, come and cook tomorrow and honor me."
Li Zhaodi was choked up at these words and was speechless. She liked to be lazy and play tricks, so naturally she would not agree to it.
The eldest brother, Shen Jianguo, first lowered his head in shame, then said, "Zhaodi will cook from now on."
Li Zhaodi looked at Shen Jianguo with shock in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that he could say such a thing.
Li Zhaodi wanted to open her mouth to refute, but after seeing Shen Jianguo's serious look, she shut up obediently.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Big Brother Shen Jianguo usually looks honest. If he really gets angry, he can be very scary.
Li Zhaodi usually yells at Shen Jianguo, but when she sees that Shen Jianguo is angry, she immediately behaves well.
In the end, I had to take on the heavy task of cooking.
After marrying into the Shen family, Li Zhaodi cooked very few times. She almost forgot what it was like to stay in the kitchen every day when she was in the Li family.
Shen Qingmiao put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Mom, what I'm doing is good, why don't you let me do it?"
Shen Qingmiao is happy to do the job of cooking.
Mother Shen glanced at Shen Qingmiao and said unhappily: “If I let you cook again, I’m afraid our family will eat it all in a few days.”
Everyone looked at the empty plates on the table and thought about the meals they had had at noon and in the evening, which were indeed much better than usual.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Shen Qingmiao also felt embarrassed. She was used to it and didn't pay much attention to it before.
Shen Jianmin joked, "It seems our Miao Miao has to marry into a wealthy family, otherwise she won't be able to endure such abuse."
Shen Qingmiao, who was feeling embarrassed, retorted, "Third brother, please shut up."
She is only eighteen years old, is there any need for her to get married so early?
Besides, she doesn't want to get married.
It's 1974 now, and in a few years she'll be taking the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination), and she still wants to take it. She also wants to take advantage of the reform and opening-up policy and become a first-generation wealthy person. She has no interest in getting married.
"Mom, look at Miaomiao. She has no respect for me as her brother at all." Shen Jianmin said with a wronged look.
Mother Shen said, “Speak less.”
"It seems that I really have no status in this family."
Shen Jianmin acted as if he had suffered a lot of injustice, and no one was ashamed to look at him.
Xiao Jie, on the other hand, was watching with great interest, his eyes fixed on Shen Jianmin.
Although Shen's mother ignored Shen Jianmin, Shen's mother still took what Shen Jianmin said to heart.
Miaomiao is already eighteen years old and a grown-up girl. It’s time for her to start looking for a partner.
When it comes to choosing a son-in-law, Mother Shen must be very selective.
Then there were my second and third sons, Jianjun and Jianmin, both of whom were already quite old. Jianjun, in particular, had been in the army and had little time. This time, I finally had a leave, so I had to make the most of it. As for Jianmin, he had to start looking for a girl.
If I have time, I will also find the matchmaker in the next village to ask around.
Shen Jianjun and Shen Jianmin, who were sitting next to each other, felt a chill on their backs for no apparent reason, and felt that something was about to happen.
In the next few days, Li Zhaodi cooked diligently every day and performed very well.
This made Shen Jianguo very satisfied, and he granted Li Zhaodi's every request in the evening.
Li Zhaodi had a smile on her face every day during those days, and she looked at everyone with kindness.
The other members of the Shen family naturally noticed the loving atmosphere between the two, and they all said in their hearts: It's too shameful to watch.
After living here for a few days, Shen Qingmiao has become more integrated into the Shen family.
In this era, life has begun to get by easily.
Shen Qingmiao wanted to help the Shen family improve their lives a few days ago, and just now she suddenly came up with a good idea.
That day, Shen Qingmiao called Xiaojie and said that he would take him to pick wild vegetables.
Xiaojie naturally agreed happily.
After eating, he hurried to Shen Qingmiao and said, "Aunt, let's go now that we've eaten."
Xiaojie prefers playing outside to staying at home.
Shen Qingmiao looked at Xiaojie's impatient look and replied, "Okay, okay, grab the things and we'll go."
What you are talking about is just a bamboo basket.
Shen Qingmiao carried a bamboo basket and walked towards the foot of the mountain with the excited Xiaojie.
It's a nice day today, it's cloudy but with a breeze, it's very cool.
The wind blows on the skin, bringing a slight coolness.
When Shen Qingmiao and Xiaojie arrived, there were already several women and children digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.
When the children saw Xiaojie, they cheered enthusiastically, "Xiaojie, come and dig with us."
Xiaojie looked up at Shen Qingmiao, as if waiting for her consent.
"Go ahead."
After getting permission, Xiaojie flew away like a happy little bird.
After Shen Qingmiao watched Xiaojie run to the group of children, he also started looking for wild vegetables and prepared to dig them up.
An older sister who was familiar with Shen Qingmiao saw her and called out, "Qingmiao, come dig here."
Shen Qingmiao did not refuse and walked towards the older sister.
As soon as Xiao Jie arrived at the group of children, he was caught by everyone and asked, "Xiao Jie, why haven't you been out playing recently? Are you sick?"
The friends haven't seen Xiaojie go out to play these days and are a little worried.
"No, not really." Xiao Jie retorted, "I've been helping my aunt with work at home these days."
While speaking, Xiaojie even puffed out his chest to show his pride.
When the friends heard this answer, they were not very satisfied.
Immediately, a friend said, "What are you so happy about?"
Xiao Jie was unhappy with this. He reached into his pocket and said mysteriously, "Let me show you my treasure. I guarantee you haven't seen it before."
This aroused the interest of the little friends, and they asked in unison: "What treasure is it? Come and take it out and let us see it."
All the friends' eyes were on Xiaojie, staring at him intently, afraid that they had missed something.
Xiaojie took out the last three candies he had eaten and placed them in front of them. "Look, you have never seen such beautiful candies before."
"Wow! So beautiful!" The little friends all exclaimed in amazement.
Suddenly, Xiaojie, as the central figure, received a lot of envious looks.
