"Sister-in-law, what's for lunch today? It smells delicious!"
Qianqian and Xiaolei had had enough fun and finally decided to come back.
"Pig's trotters, pork belly~".
Wei Yuyan's dishes are almost ready. Today's meal is very sumptuous: braised pig's trotters, braised pork belly, stir-fried carrots, Chinese cabbage, and egg drop soup.
"Mmm~ Sister-in-law, your braised pig's trotters are really delicious."
Leng Feng ate with great relish.
"I'm glad you like it."
Wei Yuyan also likes to eat pig's trotters, and the children eat them one by one without making a sound.
Wu Chen ate slowly, not as quickly as the cold wind, as if he were savoring the food.
"Sister-in-law, go and rest. Leave these things to me."
Leng Feng saw Wei Yuyan preparing to wash the dishes and took over the task again.
"good".
Wei Yuyan didn't stand on ceremony with him. She didn't need to rest; she still had to send out the task of making clothes.
After thinking for a moment, I gave Leng Feng and Xiao Lei's clothes to Sister Xiuhua to make, and Wu Chen and Qianqian's clothes to Aunt Guihua to make.
First, she sent it to Aunt Guihua. In addition to the fabric, cotton, needles and thread, Wei Yuyan also brought a pound of pork belly.
"Aunt Guihua, have you eaten?"
Wei Yuyan saw that the door was not closed and walked straight in.
"Hey, I've eaten. I just washed the dishes. What are you doing?"
Aunt Guihua was curious when she saw so many things in Wei Yuyan's hands.
"Could you please make me two sets of clothes? I've already written down the measurements, and here's the cotton and thread."
Wei Yuyan thought that Aunt Guihua was actually not very old, so she would definitely have no problem doing these things.
“Okay, no problem. I’m not good at making other things, but I can do clothes.”
Aunt Guihua agreed without hesitation. She had always remembered Wei Yuyan's kindness to her and was worried about how to repay her.
"This pork belly is a treat for you, here it is."
Wei Yuyan put the meat on the table and ran away quickly, afraid that the other woman wouldn't want it.
"Oh dear, this child, why are you giving me so much meat..."
Aunt Guihua was both annoyed and amused. Ever since she moved in, her life had become much more interesting.
It's a pity I heard she's moving to a new house next month. It's a good thing, but it will take me a long time to adjust.
Wei Yuyan had no idea that Aunt Guihua had such a rich inner world.
Without taking a break, he grabbed the cloth, cotton, and pork belly and headed straight for Sister Xiuhua's house.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua~".
Wei Yuyan didn't see anyone in the courtyard, so she called out.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law came out of the kitchen and saw what Wei Yuyan was holding, and asked a question.
"Please help me make clothes, Sister Xiuhua. There are a lot of clothes to be made at home, and I need to go help out at the steamed bun shop soon."
Please help me make two sets of clothes. Don't worry, it'll be paid as a starter. This pork belly is for you too.
Wei Yuyan dumped everything onto the table at once.
"Making clothes is no problem, but whose fabric is this?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua pointed to the dark black fabric, wondering if it belonged to Wu Chen.
"He'll probably be spending the New Year here, so we can't do without this traditional New Year's feast, don't you think?"
Wei Yuyan sat down and talked with Sister-in-law Xiuhua.
“Sister-in-law, it has to be you. If anyone else needed Xiuhua’s help, I wouldn’t let her do it.”
Li Fu, the wife-protecting maniac, also emerged from the kitchen; he was probably cleaning there just now.
"Oh, I know, really, you're so considerate of your wife, okay?"
Wei Yuyan suddenly felt a pang of envy. The deep, loving relationship between Sister-in-law Xiuhua and her husband was truly wonderful.
"What, is Wu Chen treating you badly?"
Li Fucai didn't believe that Wu Chen would treat Wei Yuyan badly.
"Oh no, it's a pity no one will stand up for me, sigh~".
Wei Yuyan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, that the original owner's background was really something.
If you fall out with your parents, or if you quarrel or fight with your husband, there will be no one to stand up for you.
Fortunately, I traveled through time and managed to turn a bad hand into a good one.
"Oh dear, Wu Chen has gone too far, daring to bully you."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law stood up abruptly, ready to confront Wu Chen.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, I was just kidding. He doesn't care. If he dares to treat me badly, I'll kick him out."
Don't forget, I built this new house, and it's in my name.
Wei Yuyan was somewhat smug. That's right, if that guy surnamed Wu ever makes her angry, she'll kick him out of the house.
"Yes, that's right, that's how it should be done."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua nodded, "Sister-in-law's idea is good."
Li Fu, who was listening nearby, suddenly began to feel sorry for Wu Chen.
"Brother Lifu, I'll go to town with you later. We've been selling more steamed buns lately, and the three of you must be exhausted."
"Now that Wu Chen is home, I can stay in town tonight."
Wei Yuyan started looking for help again, after all, Xiuhua's matter had been going on for a while.
She has to take care of the baby after giving birth, so she can't sell steamed buns anymore. But who should she ask for help?
He had previously mentioned making scented soap, but his plans were disrupted by Xiuhua's pregnancy and Wu Chen's return.
Let's talk about it next year.
"Alright, then we'll set off for town in about an hour."
Li Fu looked at the sky, then went to prepare chicken feed.
"I'm going home. You can pick me up later."
Wei Yuyan got up and walked home.
As soon as I entered the house, I discovered that there were uninvited guests.
Wu Chen's uncle and aunt arrived, and Wu Chen and Leng Feng sat with them in the main room, drinking tea. It was quite harmonious.
"Sister-in-law is back, come and have a cup of tea."
When Leng Feng saw Wei Yuyan return, he immediately got up to get a cup and pour tea.
"Oh, Uncle and Aunt are here. Did you come to visit Wu Chen after hearing that he was injured?"
Wei Yuyan, contrary to common sense, greeted everyone warmly.
"Yes, we just found out too, so we came over to check it out."
When her aunt smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, Wei Yuyan felt she wouldn't have an appetite for dinner that night.
"You came empty-handed? Oh dear, I thought your uncle and aunt cared about Wu Chen a lot, but it seems they're not that special after all."
Wei Yuyan shook her head, frowned as she drank her tea, thinking that it was such a waste to brew such good tea in this cold wind.
"Oh dear, we have enough time today. We forgot, next time, next time."
The younger uncle's smile faded, and he seemed a little resentful of Wei Yuyan for being too talkative.
"This pork belly is so fresh, you must have just bought it today. Oh dear, Grandma has been saying she wants to eat meat these past few days, but I haven't had a chance to buy any yet."
Wei Yuyan bought seven catties of pork belly today, gave away two catties, cooked one catty, and kept one catty to eat tomorrow.
There were also three pounds of salted meat that I hung under the eaves, intending to make dried cured meat, but my aunt saw it.
"How could it be too late? It's still early and the wind is cold. Could you please take my aunt to town to buy meat?"
