Seeing that the house was quiet, Zhong Yufeng asked, "Auntie, are my aunts not here today? Did they go to Beishan too?"
"No! Your aunt and the others planted some things in the West Mountain area, and now is a crucial time, so they went out to work on it."
I don't know if they'll be back by noon, so let's not worry about them for now.
"So, what should we do about what we said at noon?"
Before Chi Qiao could answer, Chi Deng hurriedly came over.
Upon seeing someone, he would say, "Mom, my second and third aunts said they won't be coming back for lunch."
However, I need your help to make some food so I can send it over there.
Chi Qiao frowned upon hearing this: "What's going on?"
Chi Deng shook his head: "I don't know either. Mi'er told me about the house I was building near the Zhong family."
"Honey? Where is she? What were your second and third aunts' exact words?"
"Mi'er went home for dinner, I don't know the exact words."
She said, "Uncle Deng, Grandma Huang and Grandma Chen want you to go home. Grandma Zhou will make you some food and send it to Beishan."
Shen Yejun, who had come here intending to show off, quickly said upon hearing this:
"Aunt, my second brother has been busy all morning, he must be tired."
"Let him rest for a while and have some water. I'll go find Mi'er and ask her what happened."
Having lived in Chijia'ao for so long, even though he rarely went out and interacted with the villagers, Shen Yejun still knew who lived where.
She knew that this little girl named Mi'er was the first maidservant she had had in over ten years, following her aunt Chi Yu.
Although she was only six years old, the Chi family doted on her to the extreme.
Getting along well with this little girl won't do her any harm!
Chi Qiao saw that her second son was also quite tired, and since Shen Yejun was willing to run errands, she agreed.
"Okay, then go ask Mi'er what's going on. I'll start cooking."
After Shen Yejun left, she looked at Chi Deng.
"Second brother, you take a rest first. We'll eat here later, and you can also keep an eye on Zhuangzhuang for me."
After you finish eating, take the things to Beishan.
As she spoke, she looked at Zhong Yufeng and said, "Xiaofeng, come and give me a hand!"
She, who would normally avoid using Zhong Yufeng if possible, is now ordering people around.
At this hour, my second and third younger siblings asked me to make some food and send it over, presumably because they plan to have a meal with the other family.
Therefore, it should not be too lavish, nor too meager.
The staple food was made by mixing coarse and white flour together to make pancakes, and then stir-frying some meat and fish.
Okay, let's stir-fry some bean sprouts from the small fish with eggs and chives, and then eat them wrapped in a pancake.
As for the soup, since Xiaoyu brought out a lot of eggs, let's make a spinach and egg soup.
Anyway, eggs are considered meat, and they're a delicacy that people in the Beishan area can't even get their hands on if they want to.
Half a pot of soup, plus the eggs from the wraps, eight eggs in total, and you're done!
Thinking this, she handed Zhuangzhuang to Chi Deng and then took Shen Yejun into the kitchen to get busy.
When Shen Yejun returned, her dough was almost ready and she was preparing to make pancakes.
Shen Yejun was in a hurry, and the sun was strong outside.
When she returned, her face was flushed from the sun, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
“Aunt, I’ve found out. Chi Ping and the others all have someone they’re interested in.”
However, neither my second aunt nor my aunt Chen wanted to make a decision so hastily; they wanted to observe the situation further.
It's not just the girl, but also her family.
"It's almost mealtime, and since they're staying there, they can't eat other people's food, so..."
