"If you ask me, why don't the three of you eat at my house tomorrow? How much can you possibly eat?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law went inside to get the key, still muttering to herself.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, I was just trying to lighten your burden."
If we eat at your house, it will only add to your burden. Okay, you've worked hard today, get some rest.
Wei Yuyan led her two children home, feeling completely relaxed.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to check on the chicks and rabbits."
As soon as the door opened, Qianqian broke free and ran over to see the chicks and rabbits.
Wei Yuyan could only swallow nervously before going to the kitchen to boil water.
"Ah~, sister-in-law, it's over, Brother Rabbit is missing."
Qianqian rushed in anxiously. She called the two rabbits Brother Rabbit and Little Rabbit. Brother Rabbit was a bit fatter.
"Ah, let's go look for it. Maybe it ran away while we weren't home. Perhaps it went to find its mother."
Wei Yuyan, in a dramatic mood, led Qianqian to search the house thoroughly.
"That little rabbit is so lonely."
Qianqian still covered her mouth, looking unhappy.
"How about this, when Brother Zhang has time in a few days, let him catch the whole rabbit family, okay?"
Wei Yuyan began to regret eating Qianqian's little rabbit. She wondered if Qianqian would be unhappy every time she ate it in the future.
"good".
Qianqian nodded. Xiaolei had just been looking for clothes to take a shower in the room. He overheard the two of them talking and secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that Qianqian was a big fool.
The village chief's house~
When Liu Cuifang returned in the afternoon, the village chief's wife saw her daughter looking so lost and confused, and wondered what had happened.
"Daughter, what's wrong? Sun Wei didn't come?"
The village chief's wife looked at her daughter strangely.
"He came, but... I missed him."
Liu Cuifang pouted.
"Oh, so he left without waiting for you?"
The village chief's wife felt that if that was the case, Sun Wei didn't seem very sincere.
"Yes, Mother, it's all Wu Chen's wife's fault. You know, today after I took a bath, I went out..."
Then I ran into her and Zhang Er's wife, sitting together on an oxcart, clearly on their way to watch the dragon boat race.
I asked them to give me a ride, and guess what Zhang Er said.
Liu Cuifang now harbors resentment towards both families.
"He said he wouldn't take you?"
The village chief's wife guessed something.
He said it wasn't on his way and he wasn't going to town, so I had to walk to town.
When we arrived in town, my cousin told me that Sun Wei had left before I arrived, as he had other things to do.
Liu Cuifang felt much better after venting her frustrations.
"Maybe he really isn't going to town. Our family and the Zhang family don't have any issues, so why wouldn't he take you with him?"
The village chief's wife couldn't believe that Zhang Er's family wouldn't even give her this much face.
"Mom, you're wrong. I ran into both families in town right after I met my cousin."
They were chatting and laughing, and they even had a lot of snacks. It seems that selling steamed buns has really made them rich.”
Liu Cuifang's jealousy resurfaced.
"Great, Zhang Er is really something. Next time I see them, I'm going to have a good talk with them."
The village chief's wife almost jumped up when she heard this; these people were so heartless.
People sometimes give a ride to unfamiliar oxcarts they encounter on the road, especially if it's from their own village.
"Mother, no need. If word gets out, it will only bring shame to our family and to Father."
Liu Cuifang didn't want to tell everyone that she had been refused a ride in Zhang Er's oxcart.
“Old man, did you hear that? These people don’t respect you, the village chief, at all.”
The village chief's wife then took her anger out on the village chief.
“I’ll soon be the village chief, so of course people will look down on me.”
The village chief thought about how his younger brother and sister-in-law had been mocking their daughter earlier that day. Wasn't it just because he was getting old and about to step down?
"What did you say?"
The village chief's wife stared at him, bewildered.
“The election is held every five years, and the time is almost here. Zhang Facai is trying to win people over everywhere; he wants to become the village chief.”
The village chief had only recently heard the news that Zhang Facai was trying to build good relationships with everyone, being incredibly enthusiastic.
Zhang Facai is Zhang Er's uncle, and they are from the same extended family.
"Can he compete with you, Father? You've been in power for over ten or twenty years."
Liu Cuifang was indignant. Her father had been the village chief for so long; it was impossible for everyone to show no mercy.
"Suspended".
The village chief felt he was getting old and that these people had long since lost their ability to be under his control.
Since Zhang Facai has taken action, he certainly won't back down so easily.
Liu Cuifang sighed. No wonder these people treated her so badly.
The next day, Wei Yuyan and Xiao Lei Qianqian slept in late, as they had agreed on the night before.
If it weren't for the fact that she had to help Sister-in-law Xiuhua make lunch, Wei Yuyan would have slept until noon.
Wei Yuyan got up and first cooked a pot of green bean porridge for her family, and two eggs for the children.
We still have two or three jujube zongzi and meat zongzi left to eat with the rice dumplings.
We can basically finish them all today.
"Sister-in-law, didn't we agree not to get up? Your porridge is already cooked."
Xiao Lei was unconvinced.
"Sister-in-law is going to cook for Sister-in-law Xiuhua's family. Xiao Lei, after you finish eating, help sister-in-law put half of the snails in the wooden basin into the pot to cook."
Once the water boils, put the ingredients in and cook for about 15 minutes. After cooking, you don't need to take them out; just let them cool down.
"Wait until I get back to get it done. I'm going to Sister Xiuhua's house now, so don't go out."
After Wei Yuyan finished eating, she prepared to go out. Xiao Lei and Qianqian have grown up now.
They've become more sensible; they won't run around anymore, and they can even help with some small chores.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I still need to cook chicken feed later, so I won't be going out."
Xiao Lei watched his sister-in-law leave, then closed the door.
As Wei Yuyan walked to Sister-in-law Xiuhua's house, she felt the sun was very strong and it seemed she would have to wear summer clothes.
On the eighth day of the lunar new year, I will go to town with Brother Zhang to buy soybeans and fabric to make clothes.
When Wei Yuyan opened the door to Xiuhua's house, she went to the kitchen and saw three eggs on the table.
Sister-in-law Xiuhua put it here because she was afraid Xiuhua wouldn't be able to find the ingredients.
Wei Yuyan started a fire and began cooking the snails; time was of the essence.
However, they shouldn't be back too soon, so there's no need to worry about them not completing the mission.
While the snails were cooking, Wei Yuyan ran to the back to pick chili peppers, garlic, eggplants, and green beans, and brought back quite a lot.
I'm going to cook her dinner at the same time at noon.
Now that the weather is warm, we can eat without heating the food; we can just eat it directly when we get home in the evening.
I took out some dried chili peppers from the top of the cabinet and soaked them.
The vegetables were washed, the snails were cooked, and Wei Yuyan put the rice in the pot to cook, which was also enough for two meals.
Just as I was about to start picking out the snail meat, I realized I hadn't brought an embroidery needle.
