Chapter 225 How can his daughter-in-law compare to ours?
Xu Wencheng came back after a while, and with him came Xu Liangping from his uncle's family.
Xu Liangping looked at Song Yuntang.
"Cousin, are you looking for a waiter in your shop?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "Do you want to give it a try? If you do, you can go with us after we have breakfast. If you don't want to go, I'll find someone else. You don't have to force yourself. Just tell us what you really think."
She looked kind and didn't want Xu Liangping to think that she was forcing him.
Xu Liangping nodded without thinking and said, "I am willing to give it a try, but I am not familiar with the things there in the early stage. If there is anything I do not do well, I hope my cousin's wife will not despise me."
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "No one can do this kind of thing from the beginning. I will ask the people in the shop to teach you more. You must study hard at that time. If you can't learn it for a long time, I will still consider whether you stay or leave."
Xu Liangping scratched his head stupidly.
"If that's the case, I won't be able to stay in my cousin's shop anymore."
Song Yuntang added, "The shop closes after the twelfth hour, so you have to be there before the thirteenth hour in the morning. I won't be going to town every day in the future. If Liangping finds it inconvenient to go back and forth, he can stay at my manor, but the accommodation conditions may not be very good in the early stage."
Xu Liangping waved his hands and said, "As long as there's a place to sleep, I'm not picky."
Jiang poked her head out of the kitchen again, "Has Liangping had breakfast? Our meal is almost ready. If you haven't had breakfast, we can eat together and leave."
"No need, auntie. I still have to go back and tell my parents to pack my luggage and go to town with my cousin and his wife. I'll be back first."
Xu Liangping said this, said something to Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang, and then trotted back home.
Jiang put out the fire in the stove and served breakfast on the table.
There was rice porridge, and some egg and flour pancakes. She and Xu Yongwang had one each, and the children had two each. The pancakes were fragrant and smelled great, and tasted even better.
Xu Wencheng took a bite and gave Jiang a thumbs up, "Mom, your cooking skills have improved."
Jiang glanced at him with a smile.
"Stinky boy, how can white flour and eggs taste bad?"
Xu Wencheng laughed and said, "Anyway, I think the food my mother makes is especially delicious."
Jiang was helpless, her tone full of doting.
"You're just a talker!"
After Xu Wencheng finished his two pancakes, he still looked unsatisfied. He stared at the last pancake on the table, then lowered his head to drink the little porridge left in the bowl.
Seeing that her son looked hungry, Jiang picked up the bowl in front of him and said, "The last cake is from your sister-in-law, don't worry about it. I'll go get you the remaining half bowl of porridge in the pot."
Song Yuntang drank a bowl of porridge and ate an egg pancake. She was actually full. She was thinking about how to deal with the last pancake. Seeing Xu Wencheng wanted to eat, she hurriedly said, "Wencheng, eat if you want. I'm full."
It's normal for a growing child to eat a lot. Since I met him, he has grown quite fast.
He was only a head taller than her before, but now he is half a head taller than her.
Judging from the situation, it should still be able to grow.
She would probably end up like her brother. Xu Qingye was a whole head taller than her. When she stood in front of him, she could only reach his chin.
Xu Wencheng hesitated, "Sister-in-law, are you really full?"
Song Yuntang smiled.
"I'm really full, you can eat."
"Then I won't be polite." After Xu Wencheng said this, he excitedly picked up the last piece of cake and started to eat it.
Xu Yongwang watched from the side and felt very embarrassed.
I have never seen such a shameless child who would not even let go of a bite of his sister-in-law's food.
When Xu Wencheng swiftly picked up the pancake and started to eat it, Jiang came into the main room with his bowl of porridge. When she saw this scene, her blood rushed up.
"Wencheng, that's your sister-in-law's cake. Didn't I tell you not to think about it? Why did you eat it?"
While eating, Xu Wencheng said, "Sister-in-law said she was full."
Song Yuntang also said, "Mom, I'm really full. It's good that Wencheng helps me eat it so that there won't be any waste."
Jiang looked at her heartless son and shook her head helplessly.
"Only your sister-in-law is easy to talk to."
Instead of changing to a more powerful one, I'm afraid there will be a big fight just to protect the food.
Xu Wencheng raised his hand in agreement.
"That's right, sister-in-law is the best."
After dinner, Xu Qingye led the mule out and harnessed it to the mule cart. Seeing this, Xu Yongwang loaded the two large baskets of fruits he had picked from the mountains yesterday onto the mule cart.
"Since the girl's shop can use them, you can take these two baskets of fruit. Dad will go to the mountains to pick some more later."
One basket contained persimmons, the other contained cracked wild jujubes, and wild pears with brown skin and spots. The wild pears were not big and a bit sour when eaten raw, but tasted great after being cooked. They were perfect for making pear soup or steamed pears.
Song Yuntang had noticed several wounds on Xu Yongwang's hands when they were having dinner before, and when he saw the wild pear, he understood.
Wild pear trees can usually grow to more than ten meters tall, and there are sharp thorns on the branches. If you are not careful when picking pears, you will be scratched by those thorns. The wound on his hand was probably left by picking wild pears yesterday.
She returned to the room, took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box and handed it to Xu Yongwang.
"Dad, don't go to the mountains today. Just take a good rest at home."
Xu Yongwang looked at the ointment in his hand, and after a moment's pause, he declined, "The cuts on my hands will heal in two days, so why would I need such a good thing?"
Otherwise, why do people say that raising a daughter is caring?
His son didn't notice the cuts on his hands, but his daughter-in-law saw them.
Song Yuntang pushed the things back.
"Dad, take them and don't go to the mountain today. There are only two baskets left of the three baskets of persimmons I brought to the shop yesterday. Although I didn't spend any money, I spent a lot of effort picking them. If I pick too many later, they will go bad and it won't be worth it."
Seeing his daughter-in-law being so thoughtful, Xu Yongwang felt sweeter than eating honey.
"Okay, listen to the girl."
Seeing several children getting on the mule cart, Xu Yongwang looked eagerly in the direction of the mule cart and waved his hand, saying, "Be careful on the road, and come back earlier at night, not so late."
"I know, Dad."
The mule cart turned a corner and went to his uncle's house to pick up Xu Liangping.
Jiang came to the gate of the courtyard and glanced at the box of ointment that Xu Yongwang was holding tightly in his hand.
"The mule cart left, and your soul left with it?"
Xu Yongwang came back to his senses, looking very proud, "Before, Gousheng always boasted to me about how caring his daughter was. But no matter how caring she was, she was still married. How can his daughter-in-law compare to ours?"
Jiang found it funny, so she took a big broom from the gate and started sweeping the yard. "You men are just bored. Every day you compare this family's daughter-in-law or that family's daughter-in-law and son. They are all your own children. Does it have nothing to do with you if they are not as good as others?"
Xu Yongwang ignored her and walked to the recliner and was about to sit down to apply the medicine, but he stood up again before his buttocks touched the ground.
"No, I have to go to Gousheng's house first." He glanced in the direction of Jiang, "Take a break after you finish sweeping the yard. I'll make lunch when I come back."
Xu Yongwang was very fast. He walked out of the yard as soon as he finished speaking, and Jiang followed him to the door.
"It's still early. Remember not to drink outside. If you smell something, I'll complain to my daughter-in-law."
Xu Yongwang, who was originally walking forward, was stunned and waved his hands helplessly.
"knew."
