Zhou Mingjie choked, "I can't slice it into thin slices, but I can chop it into pieces and stew it in a big pot."
Then stew it until it's very tender, and add some pickled cabbage. I think it shouldn't taste bad.
Hearing him mention stewed sauerkraut, Yang Hongxing's expression softened a bit. "Alright, then you make it!"
With someone helping her share the burden, she was able to relax, so she turned around and left the kitchen without hesitation.
During meals.
Seeing that she had eaten a few bites, Zhou Mingjie cautiously said, "Actually, I really have nothing to do with her. Of course, we never had anything to do before."
"If there's no connection, why is she bothering you? You should know the saying, 'Flies don't land on eggs without cracks.'" Yang Hongxing picked up a piece of pickled cabbage and glanced at him indifferently.
"We played cards together a few times before, didn't we?"
You know me, when I'm in a good mood, I tend to be more generous and give them some benefits.
Then these people, as soon as they saw me... were incredibly enthusiastic.
Actually, she was just trying to drag me to play cards today, not to do anything else.” He spoke of this with complete candor.
"Then why don't you go?"
"I'll stop, I've quit, I won't do it again." Zhou Mingjie carefully observed her, and seeing that her complexion had improved, he then started eating as well.
I must say, this pickled cabbage is really appetizing. Although I ate a few more bites, my teeth felt a bit sore.
This is also why he has never liked eating pickled cabbage.
After they finished eating, Zhou Mingjie said again, "I will never associate with those people again. Please believe me this once."
He felt that his current life was good, and he wanted to continue living it well.
Yang Hongxing stared at him with her dark eyes, remaining silent for a long time, neither saying whether she believed him nor disbelieving him.
Zhou Mingjie knew that she still had doubts about him, so he said again, "Everything I said is true."
If I don't keep my word, may I get hit by a car and die when I go out.
Yang Hongxing quickly interrupted him, "Alright, it's the New Year's holiday, you can't say such oaths and vows."
There's a custom in the village that people say auspicious things at the beginning and end of the year, just for good luck.
"So you believe me?" Zhou Mingjie asked, looking at her.
Whether I believe it or not is not important; what is important is whether you yourself believe what you say.
Actually, she arrived very early today and saw their little tug-of-war very clearly.
The woman kept trying to drag him away, while Zhou Mingjie kept dodging backward.
He didn't try to flirt with her.
She mainly disliked his carefree and irresponsible attitude.
If you don't want to go, why not be more firm in your stance?
They just had to drag things out there, didn't they care how ugly it looked?
"I'm serious," Zheng Mingjie quickly stated.

Let's talk about Su Nianxue.
The weather has been getting colder lately. When I woke up in the morning, the roof was covered with a layer of frost, which was so cold it hurt.
The flowers in the yard had all withered under the severe frost.
Looking at the withered flowerbed, Gu Yanliu felt a little melancholy. "If only my brother were home."
“Even if your brother were here, these flowers would still wither. After all, it’s too cold today, and they can’t withstand it,” Su Nianxue said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant."
Do you remember my brother saying that his friend's house had a lot of flowers?
I was thinking that if he were home, he might be able to find some flowers that can bloom in winter for us.
"Look at our flowerbed, it looks so empty and bare."
A few days ago, the flowerbed was full of golden chrysanthemums, they were so beautiful.
"That's true, but I guess it's harder to find flowers that bloom in winter."
"Why don't we wait for your brother to come back and have him help us find some evergreen plants or something? That way, we can have greenery all year round, wouldn't that be great?"
"That's fine, it's better than being completely bare anyway." Gu Yanliu is an easily satisfied person.
Looking at the frost on the roof, she said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't come to town with me anymore, it's too cold."
Just stay home, I'll bring you whatever you need.
"If you keep going back and forth like this, you might catch a cold."
"Alright, then thank you for your trouble, Liu'er." Su Nianxue was someone who listened to advice, and she naturally appreciated the little girl's concern for her.
For several days in a row, Gu Yanliu drove the donkey cart to deliver goods all by himself.
Taozi and Wang Erya would come over to visit from time to time.
Wang Erya was an impatient person. Knowing that Taozi and the others had already gone to the county, she asked her in a low voice, "Has your medicine worked?"
Peach understood what she meant, but her situation was somewhat special, and even the doctor couldn't say for sure, only saying to try to treat her first.
Although she was somewhat disappointed, she was still reasonable.
Knowing that doctors aren't gods, how could they possibly grant wishes?
All they can do is try their best and leave the rest to fate.
If her health improves and she has a son or daughter, that would be a blessing for her.
If they can't be cured, that's their fate, and they can't blame anyone else.
She smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law, I've only been taking the medicine for a few days. Unless it's a magic pill, how could it have such a fast effect?"
Su Nianxue agreed, "Yes, Er Ya, you're too hasty. My sister-in-law has only been taking medicine for a few days. How can she be recovering so quickly?"
"Hey, I was just killing time, so I thought I'd ask. Auntie, you guys have to stick with this, don't be afraid to spend the money!" she instructed.
"I know, Yansong meant the same thing." Back on their wedding night, Gu Yansong had entrusted all his assets to her for safekeeping.
Later, he was even more open-minded than she was about going to the county for medical treatment.
He stated frankly that he would accept whatever the final outcome might be.
"Of course, my older brother is the most honest person, he never plays any tricks."
Especially towards my sister-in-law, he was incredibly kind, I wish I could give him my heart! Su Nianxue covered her mouth and laughed.
She witnessed their journey step by step and felt that the two of them had really gone through a lot.
She is happy for them now that they can live a peaceful life.
"And you're talking to me like that? Doesn't your husband treat you well?"
You wouldn't believe it, but these days, fewer and fewer people in the village gossip about Yanbai behind his back.
Everyone says, "Instead of wasting energy gossiping about others, you should be thinking about how to make money!"
Su Nianxue wasn't really clear about these words.
She has her own things to do and doesn't often hang out with the villagers; she only interacts with a few people.
Hearing Taozi's words, she smiled brightly. It was wonderful that the villagers thought this way.
That saved her a lot of trouble.
Soon, Gu Yanliu entered the courtyard.
However, her expression was a little strange; even when she saw Peach and the others, she couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
Su Nianxue's heart skipped a beat. Had something happened?
She hurriedly asked, "Yanliu, is something wrong? Why do you look like that?"
"Sister-in-law, something... has happened," Gu Yanliu said cautiously.
