Xiuhua's sister-in-law joked.
"He said your food wasn't good? Let him cook it himself."
Wei Yuyan thought that if her man dared to complain that her cooking wasn't delicious, she wouldn't cook it.
"Sister-in-law, give me the key, and we'll move some firewood from your house over."
Li Fu came over to get the keys, and Wei Yuyan brought over some firewood left over from someone else's woodshed, which was almost burned up.
"Okay, this one."
Wei Yuyan found a set of keys.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, didn't your family say you had some wine?"
Wei Yuyan remembered that her sister-in-law Xiuhua had said that she would make a little wine every year.
Right now, she feels she must pair it with some fine wine, otherwise it just doesn't feel quite right.
Yes, I'll go get it.
Xiuhua's sister-in-law put down the washed vegetables and immediately went home to get the wine.
The group worked until sunset before finally finishing their task.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, have your child take this bowl of food to Grandpa. It was specially saved for him."
Wei Yuyan specially served the old man a bowl of vegetables. Yesterday, during the family reunion dinner, the old man hadn't eaten properly because of his family's steamed bun shop.
Make sure they deliver the food before we eat.
"Yu Yan, how can I accept this? You're taking food and gifts at the same time."
Sister-in-law Zhang was flattered by the delicious food.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up."
Wei Yuyan handed the bowl to Zhang Dasao and went back inside to continue cooking the vegetarian dishes.
"Xiaoru, take the vegetables to Grandpa so he can eat them tonight. Don't leave any."
While Zhang's wife was still washing the cups, she asked her daughter to take them home.
"Come on, men, one big cup; women, one small cup."
Wei Yuyan poured wine for all the adults, half a glass for the women and a full glass for the men.
"Come on, everyone, cheers! The reason we're all gathered here today is simply because we're happy."
Li Fu raised his glass to toast everyone.
"Hey, you little rascal, Yu Yan is treating us today."
Li Cai pinched his younger brother's butt.
"It's alright, come on, let's all have a toast, may we all get rich, and may the children be safe and healthy."
Wei Yuyan also stood up, saying, "Let's get drunk today!"
"I'll just drink a little. We still have to go to town later. We need to sell steamed buns tomorrow morning."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua drank half a cup and then stopped. Tomorrow it will be her and her husband's turn to sell steamed buns.
If we don't go today, we'll have to go before dawn tomorrow, so it's better to go today.
"Okay, eat more meat, come on."
Wei Yuyan served everyone meatballs, saying they wouldn't taste good if they got cold.
"This fish is really delicious; it's just that my younger brother and sister-in-law were willing to fry it."
Brother Lifu praised the fried small fish.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua also said that you complained about her cooking. Brother Lifu, is that true?"
Wei Yuyan said with a mischievous smile.
"Huh?...Uh...How could that be? In my heart, Xiuhua's cooking will always be number one, because it tastes like home."
Li Fu was sweating profusely, his mind racing, and he barely managed to pass the test.
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua also laughed.
"Sister-in-law, I won't help you pack today. Let's hurry to town before it gets dark."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law and Lifu put down their chopsticks; they had no time to chat anymore.
"Okay, be careful on the road, and take the main road."
Wei Yuyan reminded them to be careful and not to take shortcuts just to save time, as there might be robbers or bandits.
Brother Licai also took the children home, and Sister-in-law Zhang was still helping to wash the dishes.
Wei Yuyan was also quite full, so she cleaned the house and chatted with Sister-in-law Zhang.
"I don't know what's wrong with Xiuhua's belly. She hasn't gotten pregnant after all these years."
Sister-in-law Zhang was also worried about her sister-in-law, whose children were already so grown up, but there was still no news of her.
"I heard he's taking medication, so there should be good news in the second half of the year."
The main problem is that he's helping me with chores now, so his schedule is a bit irregular.
Wei Yuyan began to think again about whether she and her husband should ask for help in order to have a child.
After the dinner, Wei Yuyan rested well for a few days, sleeping until she naturally woke up every day.
The children heated up their own steamed buns after getting up. At noon, Wei Yuyan prepared a lavish meal because her chickens had started laying eggs.
The children are eating eggs almost every day.
"Sister-in-law, shall I bring Jiaojiao home for dinner today?"
Qianqian and Jiaojiao's relationship is getting better and better. If it weren't for the fact that Jiaojiao is from the next village and they would be inseparable every day, they would be even closer.
“Okay, Xiao Lei can bring Xiao Pang back for dinner anytime he wants.”
Wei Yuyan usually cooks a lot of dishes.
Noon~
Wei Yuyan prepared several dishes, both meat and vegetables, and sat in the main room waiting for the children to return.
"Sister-in-law~".
Qianqian came back first, and she brought a little girl with her, who was even younger than Qianqian.
"Jiaojiao, this is my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, this is Jiaojiao, my classmate."
Qianqian gave a very professional introduction.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
She called out shyly.
"Hello, please have a seat, have some water and rest before eating."
Wei Yuyan brewed mint tea for them, which was refreshing and very pleasant to drink.
"Sister-in-law Wu, I'm here."
"Sister-in-law".
Xiao Lei also brought Xiao Pang back.
"Hey, Fatty, this is your first time staying here."
Wei Yuyan poured mint water for the children and then stood up to serve them rice.
