Zhong Yuxiu followed the aroma and opened the kitchen door. "What's cooking? It smells so good! It smells like brown sugar, red dates, and even a hint of osmanthus. I think the last gift I gave out included osmanthus. What delicious osmanthus recipe is there?"
"I've made some pastries. One is made with osmanthus flowers, and the other is made with brown sugar and red dates. They both smell good." Haonan said with a smile, "Comrade Zhong, the two pastries are ready. Would you like to try them?"
"Give me a few pieces of the same." After saying this impatiently, Zhong Yuxiu had already stepped into the kitchen and gave up the empty plate in her hand; the steamed buns had been eaten and the plate was empty.
Haonan smiled as he helped Goudan lift out two steamer compartments, and the earth-colored cake caught their eye; when they lifted one compartment, there was a layer of osmanthus cake underneath. Due to insufficient ingredients, the osmanthus fragrance was strong and it didn't look very good.
"It's red date cake and osmanthus cake! These two kinds of cakes can be eaten by both the elderly and children." The key is that she feels good when she smells the taste and will not vomit, so she can eat it.
The steamed cake came out in a large, solid block, which Goudan cut into smaller pieces or balls. A solid block of cake could be cut into any shape. Soon, the cake was ready. Zhong Yuxiu brought it out of the kitchen and took a bite of the red date cake.
It tastes sweet, with a flavor of red dates and brown sugar, not very delicious; but she doesn't get tired of it and won't vomit, which is good.
Osmanthus cake is more fragrant than red date cake, and the sweetness is relatively lighter, and it tastes very good when eaten.
Each one has its own merits. She enjoyed the meal. Goudan even gave her a platter of cut fruits. Zhong Yuxiu accepted them all with a smile, feeling refreshed after eating and drinking to her heart's content.
After being away for almost two hours, Yan Rushan and Yan Ruhai returned, having bought a lot of things in large and small bags.
"What did you buy? So much."
The two brothers put down their things. Yan Rushan went to wash his hands first. Yan Ruhai was less concerned. While sorting out the things he had bought, he replied, "Meat, eggs, bird's nest, white fungus, winter dates, oranges, bananas. I also bought you some clothes. I said you can wear them after a few months when your belly is bigger."
Yan Rushan came back after washing his hands and continued, "The clothes are quite loose, so I bought a size bigger."
"You're so thoughtful! You've even thought of something that's three months away." Zhong Yuxiu narrowed her eyes and smiled. "But I have to ask, are you buying winter clothes or summer clothes?"
"Winter clothes." Yan Ruhai responded subconsciously.
Yan Rushan nodded and said, "It's winter clothes, jackets, overcoats, sweaters, pants, and shoes." If you want to buy them, buy the whole set.
Zhong Yuxiu spread her hands and shrugged at the two of them, "By the time I became pregnant, it was already the beginning of spring and approaching summer."
Yan Ruhai: “….” So, his brother bought loneliness?
Yan Rushan:...did a stupid thing.
"Can I return it?" She had so many clothes that her closet couldn't hold them all.
"No, I bought it in a department store." Department stores are not doing well these days because of the economic opening up. There are more street stalls and more self-employed people, and the things they sell are more diverse. Naturally, the things in department stores have become less popular.
Business is declining and the business is in jeopardy. Forget returns or exchanges. We will not accept returns after the sale.
"That's fine, I can still wear it a few more times." There are a lot of clothes in the closet, and a lot of clothes that I wear every day. Some of them are worn once or twice and then forgotten in the closet; I will only wear them a few more times if I particularly like them or they are convenient.
Yan Rushan held his forehead and said, "It's okay. If you like it, wear it a few more times. If you don't like it, just put it away. You can give it away or give it away in the future. Our family is not short of this little money and clothes."
"That's fine. I can do whatever I want if I have money." Zhong Yuxiu's straightforward words particularly reflected the current situation.
Yan Ruhai nodded repeatedly. His sister-in-law's words were a bit blunt, and could easily lead to hatred of the rich; but it was also the truth. His brother was just rich and willful. Every time he bought clothes, his sister-in-law was the first person he thought of. He stocked up countless clothes every year. At home, they ate and drank freely, with seafood, mountain products, and imported goods. They lived a comfortable life.
Sometimes he feels envious, jealous and hateful, but unfortunately, he is not cut out for this job; after all the hard work, he has to work hard for a better life in the future.
"Xiao Hai, if you have nothing to do, just go back and don't disturb your sister-in-law here." Yan Rushan said.
"elder brother."
"Hmm? Don't want to leave?" His deep, dark eyes were slightly dim.
Yan Ruhai said with a grin: "You are really my brother, I will throw you away after using you."
"You might have been picked up." Yan Rushan's eyes calmed down and he looked at the person calmly. "You've already eaten. Goudan will make the meat sauce for you. What's the point of you staying here? Your sister-in-law needs to rest."
Zhong Yuxiu: “.......” No, I don’t need to rest.
"I won't disturb my sister-in-law. I agreed to help Goudan." With his neck shrunk, Yan Ruhai ran to the kitchen carrying the meat.
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled, her eyes flickering, "Look how scared you are."
"He's getting more and more demanding." Yan Rushan snorted coldly, "If we don't get rid of him now, I'm afraid he'll have to eat and drink for free at home for the last few days."
"We don't lack those things at home, so why bother? Xiaohai can come if he wants to, but when he gets married, he won't want to come anymore." After getting married, with a wife and children, isn't the family warmth better than at his brother and sister-in-law's house?
Yan Rushan didn't believe it. "With him like that, who knows if he'll bring his wife and children along to eat for free."
When a man becomes childish, it doesn't matter his age. No matter how stable a man is, he will always be different in front of the woman he likes.
"Okay, whatever you want. You two brothers can talk about your business." She refused to accompany him.
Yan Rushan looked up at her and saw that she was not angry, and his heartstrings relaxed. "Wife, Xiaohai is like this because of you."
What the hell?
For no apparent reason, a pot was placed on her head, and she was completely stunned.
"Why do I spoil him? Isn't it you who spoiled him?" He listed the past events and counted them on his fingers. "The first time he came to our house for dinner, you were so happy. But every time he came after that, you were unhappy and annoyed? I don't know who it is, but every time Xiao Hai came to eat, you were secretly happy..."
She wasn't one to care about such small things, and Yan Ruhai was a sensible man who hadn't made any excessive demands. She liked his good character and personality, so she was happy with him. She thought it was okay for her brother-in-law to have a bunch of them. Yan Rushan wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what to do. As long as he took care of his family, he wouldn't care about his brotherly love. Unexpectedly, before she could even say anything, he would start blaming her.
Speechless.
Yan Rushan felt a little guilty. He lowered his head to tidy up his clothes and silently took the new clothes to the bathroom to wash.
"Oh, man."
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and scoffed, figuring that was just how life was. Whether in ancient times or modern times, she had seen many people say things like this in their daily lives: "It's your fault that your son is like this, it's all your fault that you spoiled him!" "It's all your fault that the old man behaved like that, it's all your fault that he indulged me."
These words, in what kind of environment, will give you what kind of feelings.
