In the main hall of the Chen family, Mrs. Gao was chatting with Shuying about the gossip about the Fang family next door. Before going to bed, Xia Lina started to quarrel with Fang Boran again because of the matter about Fang's mother and two nephews.

Xia Lina was a person who didn't want to let anyone take advantage of her. Ever since Fang's mother brought her two nephews to her house, she was afraid that Fang's mother and the two children would move into her house and have them raise them. She kept asking Fang's mother when she would bring her two nephews back to her hometown.

After all, she was his own mother. Deputy Commander Fang was very dissatisfied with Xia Lina's refusal to send money back home. If her mother had no other choice, would she bring her nephews and nieces all the way to him? He also heard that she wished that his mother and two nephews would leave immediately. His mother and two nephews had just arrived at the military region today, and Xia Lina wanted to drive them away. If his mother and two nephews really left tomorrow, how would others see him?

Fang Boran looked impatient and asked her to speak more quietly, but Xia Lina not only did not lower her voice, but it got louder and louder, as if she was afraid that his mother didn't hear him. Fang Boran also got angry and said that his eldest brother was in trouble and he wanted to support his mother and two nephews.

This made Xia Lina very anxious and angry. She immediately started arguing with him, her voice getting louder and louder: "Why should we raise you? If your own mother didn't raise you, why should I? Besides, your mother has more than one son, why should we raise you?"

He also scolded Fang's mother for being partial to Fang's eldest brother and two aunts. When Fang's eldest brother got into trouble, why didn't Fang's mother send the two children to be raised by the two aunts?

Deputy Colonel Fang was extremely angry at Xia Lina's words. He knew very well who his mother favored the most. His mother gave birth to four children, and he was the youngest. If we talk about favoritism, his parents favored him the most, otherwise they would not have let his eldest brother give up his place in the army to him.

As for sending the child to his aunt, his two elder sisters were married and he was not dead, so how could he send the child of his Fang family to be raised by outsiders?

Xia Lina continued, "Your mother is partial to your two sisters, why didn't she send the child to them for adoption?"

"Chen Tuan's wife can raise his nephew, why can't you?" Fang Boran was about to lie down to sleep, but after hearing Xia Lina's words, he stood up angrily.

Xia Lina had always been brooding over the fact that she couldn't compare to Yang Shuying, a country girl. Fang Boran's words had irritated her. She was so angry that her face turned blue. She immediately said, "What's the matter? Yang Shuying is more conscious. I, Xia Lina, can't be as hypocritical as her. She is willing to be a scapegoat. What does it have to do with me? Besides, it wasn't my fault that your eldest brother got into trouble. Why should I support two outsiders? Fang Boran, let me be frank. If you dare agree to support them, we will get divorced!"

Fang Boran was so angry that he got dressed, got out of bed and left.

In the main hall of the Chen family, after listening to the quarrel of the Fang family, Xia Lina's crying was faintly heard. Shuying and Mrs. Gao looked at each other, but considering her relationship with Xia Lina, she didn't have the heart to persuade them. But Mrs. Gao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she went out to take a look, and soon brought Gao Yuan back to the Gao family yard.

Shuying helps his children brush their teeth, wash up and go to bed.

The next day, after having breakfast with the children, Shuying packed the package that she was going to send to her mother's house and would mail it later.

Ever since she learned that her second brother and Taohua, as well as her fourth brother and Mu Zhiqing, had registered their marriages one after another, she hurried to make two sets of red festive pillowcases. She also packed a red envelope for each of them and sent them back with some rare and unusable tickets, such as cake tickets, cloth tickets, and iron kettle tickets.

Especially the cloth coupons and hot water bottle coupons are good things.

She also planned to make some mushroom meat sauce and send it back to her hometown.

I've always wanted to make mushroom sauce but never had the time.

The weather was getting colder, so she changed her child into a cotton jacket made by her mother early in the morning. The jacket was a bit big and bulky, but it kept her child warm.

Chen Yi wrapped the baby up like a ball, thanks to her good looks. Although her face is round and her chin is full of flesh, she has a lot of baby fat, but her eye sockets are deep, her eyelashes are thick and long, and her nose bridge is high. She looks cute, delicate and beautiful no matter how you look at her, and her personality is also lovely.

Just then, after having breakfast, Chen Yi learned that his aunt was going to make mushroom sauce, so he stopped playing and went to the kitchen, saying that he wanted to help.

Shuying didn't want to keep this kid in the kitchen to cause trouble, so he asked him to go to the yard to look after the strawberries and tomatoes he planted.

The weather was too cold, and out of the strawberries and tomatoes that I had my children plant, only one tomato vine survived, and the others all wilted.

However, there were many tomato vines, most of which had turned red. Shuying took a small bowl and asked his children to pick tomatoes to eat.

Chen Yi said with a bitter face: "Tomatoes are sour and not delicious!" He doesn't like to eat them.

Shuying knew very well that this boy had secretly picked and eaten tomatoes with Gao Yuan before they were ripe. Unripe tomatoes are green, sour and bitter and really not tasty, which made the two kids' faces sour.

Ever since the kid stole unripe tomatoes from Gao Yuan a few times, he lost his previous enthusiasm and was no longer interested in tomatoes.

Shuying laughed and said that tomatoes are sweet and delicious only when they turn red and ripe.

"Really? Auntie!" Chen Yi took the small bowl, widened his eyes, and became interested.

Before the child ran to the yard, the tree shadow instructed: "Let's pick the red fruits, they are sweeter!"

After Chen Yi ran to the yard, Shuying blanched the mushrooms that he had washed and put in a dustpan last night, cut them into dices, cut the meat into dices as well, and took out a few jars.

The jar was what her mother used to store chili peppers. After eating the peppers, she washed it and disinfected it with hot water so that she could put the mushroom and meat sauce in it.

Before making the mushroom meat sauce, heat the oil in a pan and stir-fry the meat until dry. Remove the meat from the heat and add the minced garlic and onions. Add the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry until dry. Finally, add the diced meat and cook together. Add salt, bean paste, soy sauce, and oyster sauce and simmer over low heat.

While the mushroom meat sauce was being cooked, Shuying, who had just finished his meal and was in the kitchen, didn't feel anything, but the Gao and Chen families who lived on both sides of Shuying's house suffered.

The aroma of this mushroom meat sauce is really special, the fragrant and spicy aroma is very appetizing. When Gao Tuan had breakfast at home and went out, he smelled this spicy smell and his mouth was craving for it. He sighed and admired his brother-in-law's cooking skills in his heart. Everything he made was delicious.

I don’t know what delicious food my brother and sister-in-law made this morning. Chen Tuan is so lucky.

Mrs. Gao, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, was also wondering what delicious food Yang Meizi had made. Why did it smell so good?

Look, she finished washing the dishes and didn't pay attention. The eldest and second sons were fine, but the third son ran to Yang's house again. Mrs. Gao was helpless.

It's all thanks to Sister Yang that she has a good relationship with her and is a generous person. If it were someone else, someone as greedy and shameless as her third brother, who wouldn't dislike him?

Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang were drooling at the aroma coming from next door. The two brothers were older and too embarrassed to follow their younger brother to Aunt Yang's house next door, so they simply ran to the kitchen to ask their mother to prepare something delicious for them.

Last night they heard the third child say that Aunt Yang had made some delicious potato chips for Chen Yi. Gao Zhigao is now extremely jealous of Chen Yi, and also of his own third child, because why aren't they the youngest?

By the way, they often saw Chen Yi drinking milk a few days ago.

I heard that Aunt Yang specially ordered milk for Chen Yi, saying that drinking it is good for the body. Why is their mother so stingy to them, while Aunt Yang is so generous to Chen Yi?

But milk was expensive, so they didn't dare ask their mother to order milk for them. They could only ask their mother to make delicious food for them whenever they wanted.

Mrs. Gao was about to scold the two children for what they were eating, thinking that they would not have to get married in the future? Then she thought that it was almost the end of the year, and she would cook a lot of delicious dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner even if she was reluctant.

Mrs. Gao temporarily relented and said, "We'll talk about it later. Big brother, go to your Aunt Yang's house first and bring the third child back! Don't let your brother take advantage of Aunt Yang's family all the time. You should keep an eye on him more on weekdays. He is not sensible, but you are not sensible. No one's food is blown by the wind!"

"I understand, Mom!" Gao Zhi said.

The cooking of the mushroom and meat sauce affected not only the Gao family, but also the Fang family who were having breakfast next door.

Fang Boran had a quarrel with his wife last night and had no appetite in the morning. He went to the canteen to get breakfast and bought some steamed buns. While eating the steamed buns and smelling the fragrance from next door, he felt very uncomfortable.

Fang Boran, who used to think he had married a good wife, is now a little jealous of Chen Tuan.

Xia Lina, who was eating steamed buns for breakfast and smelling the fragrance from next door, became even more jealous of Si Yang Shuying's good life.

Look, seeing Fang's mother and two children eating rice at the table, Xia Lina felt very disgusted.

Every family has a fixed amount of food. Although her husband has a salary, if he really takes care of Fang's mother and the two nephews, she will have to eat coarse food in the future.

Xia Lina was thinking about how to get rid of Fang's mother and two nephews, but Fang Boran saw that his nephews and nieces did not dare to take more steamed buns, but he warmly invited his mother and two nephews and nieces to eat more. Only then did Fang's mother look better, but Xia Lina looked particularly ugly.

The eldest brother of the Fang family has two children, one ten years old and the other eight years old. The older one is a concubine named Fang Xiuxiu.

The younger one is a son, named Fang Xiaobao.

Ever since the eldest son of the Fang family got into trouble and his mother ran away, the two children have become very sensible, especially the ten-year-old Fang Xiuxiu, who can already read people's expressions.

The two children were tempted by the delicious food from next door, but they didn't dare to say anything. After thanking their uncle, they buried their heads in eating steamed buns.

When they were almost done with breakfast, Fang's mother suddenly said, "Youngest, don't go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast at home from now on. It's a waste of money. I'll make it for you from now on!"

As soon as Xia Lina heard what Fang's mother said, she knew that Fang's mother really wanted to take the two children to stay. She couldn't sit still. Just when she wanted to speak, she heard Fang's mother let the two children who had finished breakfast go out to play first, and then said: "Youngest, you know very well how you became a soldier. The eldest brother and you were drafted into the army together, but there were only a few quotas for each village. Your father and I took great pains to get a quota for our family. I meant that you were young, and wanted to persuade your eldest brother to give up the quota to you. Your father wanted you to draw lots with your eldest brother. Later, your eldest brother voluntarily gave up the quota to you. If it weren't for this, your eldest brother wouldn't have to work so hard on the construction site! And this wouldn't have happened!"

When talking about her boss's accident, Fang's mother's eyes were red.

Fang Boran naturally remembered that his elder brother gave up his place in the army to him. Seeing his mother's tears, he immediately felt guilty and agreed: "Mom, you, Xiuxiu and Xiaobao stay here. As long as I have a meal, you, Xiuxiu and Xiaobao will also be needed!"
