"Hmm, when they're a little older, we can train them to pull the animals into the grass in front. Oh, that won't work either, Qianqian often goes there to pick flowers."
Wei Yuyan scratched her head; this was indeed a difficult problem.
"Don't rush, take your time."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua gave the three puppies a loving pat, while the two children had already run off to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
I'm preparing to cook food for my pets at home, afraid they'll go hungry.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, please ask Brother Zhang to go to town and fix up those furniture pieces in the next few days. I'm too lazy to go myself."
As for what you said about having Brother Zhang and his wife come to the shop to work.
I'll think about it today and give you an answer tomorrow.
Wei Yuyan needs to start seriously considering the personnel arrangement issue.
"Okay, I'll head back now. I still need to cook dinner tonight."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua was carrying steamed buns, preparing to go back.
"Hey, wait a minute, pork cracklings, we can't eat that much."
There were still quite a few pork cracklings left from yesterday's frying, so Wei Yuyan filled a bowl and handed it to Sister-in-law Xiuhua.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
As soon as Sister-in-law Xiuhua took it, the steamed buns started to sizzle and smelled delicious.
Wei Yuyan returned to her room and took out a piece of scrap paper and some charcoal sticks.
If we ask Brother Zhang's elder brother and sister-in-law to come, they can only pay him 300 coins for now, and there isn't much work to do.
From now on, let the two couples take turns selling steamed buns in town when they're not at the market.
We change the schedule every two weeks. If it's a market day, all four of us have to go, so I don't have to go myself.
However, this presents a problem: I need to teach them all the skills of making steamed buns so that I can completely let go.
After thinking it over, Wei Yuyan went to make dinner; there was no point in overthinking it.
For dinner, I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried pork cracklings with chili peppers.
"Sister-in-law, I still feel that the food at home tastes the best."
Qianqian ate a big bowl of rice.
"From now on, let's not go to town anymore, let's stay at home instead."
Wei Yuyan smiled.
"Yay, that's great, I miss Xiaoya too."
Qianqian couldn't wait for tomorrow so she could go out and play with her older sister Xiaoya.
Wei Yuyan took a nice, relaxing bath that evening. After emptying the tub, she was about to go to sleep when she noticed that Xiao Lei was still standing in the yard, looking up at the moon.
"What's wrong, Xiao Lei?"
Wei Yuyan felt that Xiao Lei wasn't in a good mood today, as if he had something on his mind.
"Sister-in-law".
Xiao Lei turned around and saw that his eyes were slightly red, indicating that he had been crying.
"Talk to your sister-in-law about why she seems unhappy."
Wei Yuyan brought a stool for Xiao Lei to sit on.
"Actually, today is my older brother's birthday~".
Xiao Lei said in a low voice.
"Oh, so you miss your older brother?"
Wei Yuyan realized what was going on.
"Hmm, I'm wondering where my older brother is and why he doesn't write back. I miss him so much."
As he spoke, tears streamed down Xiao Lei's face again.
"Xiao Lei, you're a man now, you can't cry. Your older brother definitely doesn't want you to cry on his birthday."
Wei Yuyan didn't know how to comfort him.
"Hmm, I wonder when my older brother will be able to come back."
Xiao Lei looked at the moon in the sky, wondering if his older brother was also looking at the same moon.
"Of course, I hope that when your older brother comes back for the New Year or next year, he will see how much you have grown and how you have learned to cook."
He'll definitely praise you a lot, right? Then you can cook for him and see if it tastes even better than what he cooks.”
Wei Yuyan could only comfort him in another way; she dared not say that Wu Chen might not come back.
"Hehe~ Yes, big brother's cooking is not good. I must learn to cook well in the future so that I can cook for big brother."
Xiao Lei felt that his sister-in-law was right. He wanted to surprise his older brother. He had learned a lot and had become a real man.
"Yes, you still need to grow taller. Look how tall your older brother is."
You need to eat well and sleep well so you can grow taller. Go back to sleep now.
Seeing that Xiao Lei was no longer sad, Wei Yuyan quickly urged him to go back to sleep.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I know you've worked hard to earn money so you can take care of me and my sister."
Selling steamed buns is hard work. When I grow up next year, sister-in-law, let me cook.
I'll sell and wrap steamed buns; you can rest.
Xiao Lei said these words at the door of the room before running inside to sleep.
These words really startled Wei Yuyan; this child was too sensible.
Wei Yuyan was touched; she had given her heart and received a reward.
That night, Wei Yuyan slept very soundly.
"Sister-in-law, I'd like to go snail hunting with Little Fatty. Can he come over for lunch?"
During breakfast, Xiao Lei shyly voiced his thoughts.
"Okay, Xiaolei, Qianqian, although our family isn't rich or powerful, we don't have fancy meals."
However, if you occasionally want to bring your friends over for a meal, that's fine too.
Wei Yuyan knew that the children were a little embarrassed because they were afraid that she wouldn't like it or that they felt bad about wasting food.
Of course, if this happened to other people in the village, they definitely wouldn't like it.
I'm quite democratic about this; the kids don't eat much, just a bowl of rice.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xiao Lei and Qian Qian responded with smiles.
After washing the dishes, Wei Yuyan washed the clothes and cleaned the house, since the floor was muddy and easily got dirty.
Prepare a day's worth of chicken and dog feed; now the chicks and puppies eat the same thing.
Anyway, just add a little bit of each of the following: vegetables, cornmeal, wheat flour, and rice.
Give the chicks more vegetables, but give the puppies less vegetables since they don't like them.
I just finished picking vegetables and found that there are too many vegetables in the garden. If I don't pick them soon, they will get too old.
Wei Yuyan then took another vegetable basket and picked a full basket of vegetables, which she then dried.
"Sister-in-law, we're back."
"Sister-in-law Wu, hehe, I'm here."
Xiao Lei and Xiao Pang came in one after the other, with Xiao Pang carrying a bucket in his hand.
"Hey, Little Fatty's here. Look at you guys, all sweaty. Sit down and rest for a bit, have some water."
Wei Yuyan hasn't finished posting the photos of the dishes yet.
"Sister-in-law Wu, these are the snails and clams that Xiao Lei and I found."
Little Fatty brought the wooden bucket over to show Wei Yuyan.
"That's quite a lot. How would you like to eat lunch? Can you eat spicy food?"
Xiao Lei and Qian Qian can't handle too much spice, and I wonder how Xiao Pang handles chili peppers.
"I can't eat too much spicy food."
Little Fatty chuckled, his eyes almost completely closed.
"Alright, then I'll make it a little lighter for you."
Wei Yuyan decided not to stir-fry the snails anymore, but to stir-fry the river snail meat for them, and to make soup with the river clams.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Wu."
Little Fatty put down the snails and went to drink water.
After drying the vegetables, Wei Yuyan went to cook the snails.
"Children, come and pick snail meat together!"
Wei Yuyan finished cooking and let the children pick out the meat together.
