Chi Qiao waved to her and said, "Ye Jun, come here and help me get eight eggs out."
Four, four were knocked into two different bowls.
Upon hearing that eight eggs were to be used at once, Shen Yejun's eyes widened in surprise.
While she was still in a daze, Chi Qiao, who was already making pancakes, asked without looking up:
"How could Mi'er, who is so young, relay the information so clearly?"
“This wasn’t what Mi’er relayed; it was what her mother said. Her mother also went over and said it was the old clan chief’s idea.”
"So, it seems that none of the people who went to Beishan today went home for dinner?"
"right!"
While they were talking, Wang Yunjuan and Zhong Minghe returned.
When Wang Yunjuan arrived in the kitchen and saw her daughter helping to stoke the fire, she felt a mixture of relief and heartache in her eyes.
Thankfully, she knows how to help with chores.
What's heartbreaking is that the child I raised with such care is now doing such rough work.
But the thought that she would be a member of the Chi family starting tomorrow forced her to suppress her heartache and reluctance.
"Xiaofeng, go out and talk to your father. I'll start the fire."
Chi Qiao had her back to Wang Yunjuan and was unaware that she had returned.
Hearing the sound coming from the doorway, he quickly turned around to look.
Seeing that the other person seemed to have something to say to him, he said to Shen Yejun, who was cracking eggs:
"Ye Jun, it's getting hotter and hotter. After you crack the eggs, go out and rest for a while."
Shen Yejun thought that Chi Qiao was worried about her, so she quickly said, "Aunt, I'm not hot, it's alright, I'll help you."
Chi Qiao's attitude was firm: "No way! It's the middle of the day, and you got quite a sunburn from going to Mi'er's house just now."
I see your face is a little red; the heat hasn't gone down yet.
Tomorrow you and Chi Mu are getting married, and I can't let you go out with those two bright red bumps on your face.
Honey, go get a basin of cold water and put it on your face.
By the way, just eat lunch at home; don't go back in this heat.
Shen Yejun was only a fifteen-year-old girl. Without knowing the full story, she felt warm inside when she heard what her aunt Chi Qiao said.
Upon hearing this, her eyes shone with emotion and joy, and she softly replied:
"Then I'll listen to you, Auntie!"
Seeing that Zhong Yufeng hadn't left, Chi Qiao added, "Xiaofeng, you should go out too. Your mother and I are fine here."
Since it's hot today, we'll just make something simple to eat.
If you still want to eat snails, I'll make them for you tonight. However, it's not advisable to eat too many snails.
"good!"
After Shen Yejun and Zhong Yufeng left, Chi Qiao looked at Wang Yunjuan, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said:
"Young lady Wang, what is our relationship? Just say what you want to say!"
Wang Yunjuan, who was still considering her words, simply said upon hearing this:
"Sister Zhou, what I'm about to say might make you think I'm being nosy."
But if I don't say anything, I feel guilty.
Since you've brought it up, I might as well meddle this time.
"That's how it is. Chi Sen from the third branch of the family, for some reason, has taken a liking to the daughter of Scholar Shen."
Chi Qiao paused for a moment, then asked, "Shen An'an?"
"Yes! I always felt that girl seemed to have some mental issues, but it didn't quite seem like it."
In addition, she looked somewhat like Shen Xiucai, but bore no resemblance to Shen Xiucai's wife whatsoever.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that she might be a mistress, or something else entirely.
