Chapter 23 Chapter 23

Jia Guoye took a piece of chicken from the bowl and put it in his mouth.

He chewed it for a few times, spit out the chicken bones, and said to her, "It's delicious."

She smiled and said, "Then you can eat the rest."

"Keep it."

Jia Guoye said, "I fried it for you. Your leg is injured and bleeding."

"But you are very hard-working."

"You are busy outside all day, and I am resting at home."

Jia Yourui felt a little guilty.

She said, "People who do more things should eat better."

This sentence hit Jia Guoye's heart hard.

"Yeah."

He didn't say anything more, lowered his head and picked up the second piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

Should people who do more things eat better?

Jia Guoye thought of his past self. No matter how much he did, it was not easy to eat the same meals as everyone else.

…

Zhang Xiuhua dipped her fingers in cold water, quickly lifted an egg pancake from the hot pot, threw it into the bowl, and then quickly put her red, scalded fingers into the cold water bowl to cool.

When her fingertips cooled down, she continued to repeat the previous actions.

Zhang Xiuhua put three egg pancakes in the bowl in a row.

"Mom."

Jia Yumin frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "That's enough."

Zhang Xiuhua ignored her and took another pancake.

"If you weren't lazy, would I have to ask others to take care of your father?" Facing Jia Yumin's advice, Zhang Xiuhua rolled her eyes.

Jia Yumin felt very aggrieved. She was so tired during the day and her whole body ached, and she couldn't sleep at night?

My sister just feels uncomfortable, but my mother is in a hurry to visit her. Can't we wait a few days until we are free before going?

"Humph, you only like my sister."

Jia Yumin said sourly: "Last time I was sick, you let me lie down, brought me a bowl of longan and brown sugar water, and didn't even cook an egg."

"My sister said she felt uncomfortable and wanted to eat the white sugar cake you made. You made it immediately and sent it to her even though you were busy with farm work at home, and also packed a basket of eggs for her."

"In my opinion, I am not your biological child."

After saying this, Jia Yumin ran out quickly.

"Stop right there, you damn girl."

Zhang Xiuhua was so angry that she put down the bowl in her hand and wanted to hit her, but Jia Yumin had already run away.

She chased for a few steps, but Jia Yumin ran out of the yard and disappeared.

The pot was still burning, and Zhang Xiuhua returned to the kitchen with itchy teeth.

She took down the remaining cakes, added a little rapeseed oil to the pot, and started cooking.

Zhang Xiuhua calmed down while cooking .

Yumin actually had some truth in her words. She could have made the white sugar cake and asked someone to bring it to Yulin.

But for some reason, ever since Yulin sent someone to bring a message saying that he was not feeling well and wanted to eat the white sugar cake she made, Zhang Xiuhua's heart was always in turmoil.

Perhaps it was because of the bond between mother and daughter, she felt that something had happened to her eldest daughter, but then she thought, what could have happened? Yulin was a steady person who never had conflicts with others, and her son-in-law was also practical and capable. The young couple had always loved each other, and they only lacked a child.

But no matter what, Zhang Xiuhua was always worried, so she decided to go see her daughter and sleep with her at night.

...

Because of her inconvenient legs, Jia Yourui couldn't take a shower today, so she could only sit on a stool to wipe her body and then change her clothes.

She limped out of the bathroom, and Jia Guoye walked up to her and took the dirty clothes she was carrying.

He said, "Let me help you wash your clothes today."

Jia Yourui didn't refuse.

She let go of her hand and said, "Thank you."

Jia Guoye looked at her and continued, "I'm going to work in the fields tonight. I'll leave after I wash the clothes."

There were still some water drops on Jia Yourui's face, making her skin look clear and bright.

She said, "Take care of yourself when you work."

Jia Guoye said, "Okay."

...

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

Jia Guoye put down the wooden barrel and went to open the door.

"Auntie."

Zhang Xiuhua came in with a medicine bottle and a water bottle in one hand and a bowl in the other.

"Here are four egg pancakes. You and your wife can share them."

"Hey, Xiaohuabao is here."

She saw Jia Yourui and asked with concern, "Is your leg okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, auntie."

Jia Yourui smiled and said, "It's nothing serious."

"Oh." The more Zhang Xiuhua looked at Jia Yourui, the more loving her eyes became.

She said with emotion, "How can there be such a pretty girl?"

Jia Yourui blushed and felt shy.

"You blush so easily."

Zhang Xiuhua continued to tease her, thinking that this girl had really changed. She was no longer as cold as before. It was freezing to talk to her.

This was great. Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief and her worries were alleviated.
