The village chief and his wife were not satisfied with Sister Juan's introduction of Sun Wei, so in the end they didn't even receive a thank-you gift.
Liu Cuifang was quite satisfied; she couldn't afford expensive things, but treating him to breakfast was something she could manage.
"Okay, I'll eat as many as I want, but I can only eat three buns at most."
Sister Juan thought to herself that her cousin was quite stingy, only offering to treat her to a few coins' worth of bread.
"Where is it?"
Liu Cuifang hadn't seen the steamed bun shop yet.
"It's right ahead."
Sister Juan pointed to the Mankouxiang steamed bun shop in front of her.
Liu Cuifang arrived at the entrance of the steamed bun shop. Uh... isn't that Wei Yuyan? And Zhang's sisters-in-law are there too.
Last time they were just setting up a stall at the market, how come they have a shop so soon?
"What are you standing there for? Come in, ma'am, bring me four mushroom and meat sauce buns and two chili and pork stir-fry buns."
Juan-jie was unaware of their past relationship. She went straight in, ordered a few steamed buns, and plopped down on a stool.
"Okay~".
Aunt Zhang deftly picked up two plates of steamed buns and placed them on the table.
"Cuifang, hurry up, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Seeing that Liu Cuifang was still standing at the door, Juan called to her again.
"Oh, it's Cuifang! Are you together? I heard you married and moved to town. Come and eat here often."
Zhang Dasao didn't know that Liu Cuifang wasn't familiar with Xiuhua's sister-in-law Wei Yuyan before, so she took the initiative to greet her.
Wei Yuyan's family was harvesting meat today, and she came specifically to buy meat and stopped by to take a look.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Liu Cuifang again, and she was there to eat steamed buns.
"Here it comes~".
Liu Cuifang nodded to Zhang Dasao and went inside to sit down with her cousin.
"You two know each other?"
Sister Juan saw that they had just greeted each other.
"From the same village".
Liu Cuifang didn't say much.
"Is that so? Then let's come here often from now on, which will be considered as supporting their business."
Sister Juan had no idea they were enemies.
"Try it and see how it tastes."
Liu Cuifang picked up a mushroom and meat sauce bun, took a bite, and was about to say that the bun was awful.
I never expected these steamed buns to taste so good. They were so delicious that I wanted to eat more of them.
I didn't feel nauseous at all; it's really hard to find fault with it.
"How about it? Not bad, right? My two kids also like these steamed buns, but I didn't get up this early to buy them."
After eating one, Juan picked up another steamed bun with stir-fried pork and chili peppers and ate it with relish.
When Wei Yuyan saw them arrive, she prepared to leave.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, Sister-in-law Zhang, I'm going back now. I still have a lot to do at home."
Wei Yuyan left with a basket on her back containing two pounds of lean meat.
"good".
Xiuhua nodded and turned to chat with her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, I plan to plant two seasons of rice on all three mu of my land next year."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua harvested her rice a few days ago and tasted the sweetness of success; the yield was no less than that of a single season of rice.
Planting more rice for one season is equivalent to doubling the yield; there will be enough rice to eat this year.
"Is there a possibility of a mistake?"
Sister-in-law Zhang was still a little worried. If this matter was messed up, it would mean a year's worth of food.
"Maybe there will be, but I think we should give it a try. Why don't you try planting one acre next year?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua knew that her sister-in-law's family was quite worried. With so many people, they needed a lot of food and dared not take any risks.
"Okay, let's try planting one acre."
Sister-in-law Zhang was also tempted; who wouldn't want such a good thing?
"By the way, that Liu Cuifang didn't get along with Yu Yan before, so let's not talk to her anymore. She's not a good person."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua is the epitome of loving someone because of their family.
He only said this after watching Liu Cuifang and her cousin walk away.
"Really? That explains why none of you greeted her earlier."
I understand. From now on, I will treat her like a normal person and avoid getting involved with her.
Sister-in-law Zhang wasn't familiar with her at first, but since she was married in town, she even invited her to come over often. Unexpectedly, she and Yu Yan didn't get along.
Wei Yuyan bought two pounds of lean meat today, planning to use one pound to stir-fry and the other pound to make meat patties.
"Sister-in-law, it's so hot outside. I don't want to go out anymore."
Qianqian returned from outside, covered in sweat.
"Where did you just go? It's so hot."
Wei Yuyan is chopping vegetables.
"I helped Xiaoya prepare medicine for her grandmother."
Qianqian took out a handkerchief, dampened it, and gently wiped her face. Her skin had become quite dark recently.
"Is Grandma Xiaoya not fully recovered yet?"
Wei Yuyan was surprised; so much time had passed, almost ten days.
"Yes, she said she could get up, but she doesn't feel as well as before, and I don't know why."
Qianqian thought for a moment and then responded.
"It's probably because the weather is too hot and stuffy. Next time I see her, I'll ask her to open the window for her grandma to let in some fresh air."
"Getting some sunshine in the morning should help."
Wei Yuyan thought about how this old lady, who had been so energetic before, had taken so long this time. She guessed it was because of the heat.
"Okay, sister-in-law, we'll have meat for lunch today."
Qianqian looked at the meat in Wei Yuyan's hand and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Lifu and Brother Licai are helping our family harvest rice. They are working very hard."
Perfect timing, could you run an errand for your sister-in-law and call them back for dinner?
Wei Yuyan had chopped the vegetables, and the rice was already in the pot; all that was left was to stir-fry the vegetables.
I gave the hat to Qianqian and told her to go to the field to call them. Xiaolei was also helping out in the field.
"All right".
Qianqian put on her hat and ran off, hoping to return as soon as possible.
Wei Yuyan cooked the dishes and put them on the table. They hadn't returned yet, so Wei Yuyan started making mung bean soup.
If you boil it early and put it in the well to chill, you can send it to them to drink in the afternoon. It will be so comforting.
"Sister-in-law, we're back."
Xiao Lei's voice rang out.
"Okay, go wash your hands and eat. Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
Wei Yuyan stood up and went out to fetch water for them to wash their hands. Then she told them to eat first, while she went to the kitchen to continue cooking mung bean soup to avoid suspicion.
"Sister-in-law, we can finish harvesting and plowing the fields this afternoon."
After Li Fu finished eating, he reported the situation to Wei Yuyan.
"Don't overwork yourselves, take it slow."
Wei Yuyan looked at the harvested rice in the yard. She had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she came to thresh the rice. But she thought about using a flail to thresh the rice and felt a little tired.
"At a normal pace, Xiao Lei has already cut quite a few."
Li Cai Ge chimed in.
"Xiao Lei, eat more. Those two brothers should go back and rest. They can go to the fields later."
It's too hot now, we should go after 3 PM at the earliest.
Wei Yuyan added a word of caution, worried that they might get heatstroke while working in the sun.
"Okay, let's go back then."
After the two older brothers finished eating, they went home. Wei Yuyan picked up her bowl and started eating.
It was probably too hot, so the two older brothers didn't eat much. Wei Yuyan thought about making some porridge tomorrow and freezing it so they could have a comfortable lunch.
