Hu Qiaoer and Song Kexia came to the kitchen and asked her, "Little sister, what are you going to do? I'll help you."
"Second sister-in-law, please help me process the fish."
Song Kexia saw a three-pound piece of meat on the chopping board and planned to make braised pork.
The chicken is used to make stewed chicken with potatoes.
These are considered main dishes. Three main dishes are enough to entertain guests.
The weather is very hot now, so I made some cold cucumber salad and stir-fried chicken offal with sour beans.
Hu Qiaoer watched her cooking and felt so distressed.
She scooped out a large spoonful of oil at a time, and the amount of oil used to make one dish was enough for them to use for a week.
There was no other way, they didn’t have oil coupons, so they could only buy some fat meat to make lard.
This bowl of lard is a treasure in our family. We only use a little bit when cooking.
Who knew my younger sister would hit me so hard? If my mother saw this, she would definitely blame her.
However, dishes cooked with plenty of oil are always fragrant. She stayed in the kitchen, smelling the aroma and her mouth was watering.
"Little sister, your cooking skills are really good. It smells so good. I'm hungry just by smelling it."
All the children in the family came back and ran to the kitchen to peek in and sniff exaggeratedly.
"It smells so good, Mom, what delicious food are we making at home?"
"Mom, when can we eat?"
"Aunt, can I eat now?"
The children were chattering non-stop, and Hu Qiaoer was afraid that they would cause trouble, so she drove them all out.
"Go, go, go play somewhere else and don't get in the way."
"Aunt, I'm hungry and want to eat."
"Aunt, I'm hungry too."
These kids knew who was soft-hearted and went to make trouble for Song Kexia.
Hu Qiaoer drove them all out of the kitchen, "Go play somewhere else, Zhengkun, if you bring your brothers and sisters here to make trouble again, be careful or I'll spank you."
Sun Yueji took the watermelon out of the well, cut it up and shared it with the children, and only then did the children calm down.
She brought the cut watermelon to the main room and let everyone taste it.
Wang Guihua went to invite Old Lady Li over.
Old Mrs. Li had just told Wang Feihua that someone drove to the second son's house and brought a sewing machine. She vaguely guessed what had happened.
Now when I hear Wang Guihua say this, I still find it a little hard to believe.
Although it is not uncommon for rural girls to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, Song Kexia is different from them.
She has already been admitted to university, why is she so anxious to get married?
Wang Guihua didn't tell her about Zhao Yinqiu to avoid making the old lady anxious and angry.
I just told Old Mrs. Li that the two children had a good relationship and both families felt it was a good match, so I wanted to settle the matter.
Old Mrs. Li also knew that people had come to her house, and they must have discussed it beforehand, but they only came by themselves.
She also wanted to see what Qin Muye looked like, so she went there with Wang Guihua.
At Li Dachuan's house, she saw Qin Muye and thought he looked very energetic, so she immediately agreed.
There is no more energetic young man in the whole village. He and Xia Xia are such a perfect match.
Qin Muye stood up immediately when he saw Wang Guihua leading an old man over.
Wang Guihua introduced him, "This is Xia Xia's grandmother."
Qin Muye greeted her, "Hello, grandma."
Wang Guihua: "Mom, this is Xiao Qin and Xiao Qin's grandfather."
Old Lady Li nodded at them and said, "I heard you came here today to propose marriage?"
Wang Guihua helped her sit down and said, "Yes, we have already agreed to hold the wedding banquet on the 23rd of this month."
"That's only a few days away."
"It's only a few days away. We want to get married before Xia Xia goes to college."
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "That's fine. After we get married, we can go to college and study well."
As they were talking, Li Zhengkun ran over and said that the food was ready and asked everyone to clean up and get ready to eat.
In the main room, Wang Guihua cleared the table and invited everyone to sit down.
There were too many children and they were too noisy, so Wang Guihua set up a small table nearby for the children to eat.
She was worried that the children would fight over food, so she asked Hu Qiaoer to watch over them.
Li Fangliang went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. When Song Kexia brought up the last dish, everyone was already seated.
As soon as she put the dish down, she felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked up and met Qin Muye's gaze.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled at him.
Wang Guihua saw their little actions and secretly laughed at how clingy they were, but she felt much more relieved after all.
"Qin family, Xiao Qin, you should try Xia Xia's cooking."
The braised pork is fat and lean, has a reddish-brown luster, and exudes an enticing meaty aroma.
Qin Muye picked up a piece and gave it to Qin Baoguo, then picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
The lean meat is not dry, the fat is not greasy, it melts in your mouth and tastes very good.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he said, "It's delicious."
Song Kexia: ...
That’s it?
No words to praise her more.
She has been busy for so long.
Qin Baoguo smiled and said, "Xia Xia's cooking skills are really good. Come on, everyone, don't just stand there, let's eat together."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks.
However, because there were outsiders present, everyone seemed a lot more reserved.
Even Wan Ling, who had been staring at the meat, became more restrained.
Li Dachuan suggested that everyone have a drink.
The last time Xia Xia came back, she brought two bottles of Wuliangye. He secretly tasted it and it tasted very good.
Today is such a happy day, how can we go without wine?
