Jiang Yiyi was cooking in the kitchen. She felt a lot more relaxed, perhaps because she had worked up a sweat on her way to Qinjia Village.
She boiled water and cooked the noodles, then scooped out bowls of noodles one by one and poured the shredded pork sauce on them. She also made two small bowls and called Gu Yunyang and Gu Yuncan to bring them into the house.
The two children smelled the fragrance, poked their heads out from Gu Yunchi's arms, and stared at the bowls in Jiang Yiyi's hands. When they saw Jiang Yiyi put the two small bowls in front of them, they didn't dare to move and looked at their mother.
Gu Yunchi's eyes suddenly turned red. He tried hard to hold back his tears and said to his two daughters with a smile, "Eat."
There was light in the eyes of the two little ones. They couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating. They were only one and a half years old, but they were already very skilled in using chopsticks.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"We are a family, why should we be so polite? There is still some in the pot. Eat more and don't leave any. We will make dumplings for dinner."
The fragrant shredded pork and the soft noodles, not to mention the two children, even Gu's mother, Gu Yunyang, Gu Yuncan and Gu Yunchi ate without raising their heads. Seeing them eating voraciously, Jiang Yiyi also had an appetite and ate two bowls. The whole family finished the noodles and shredded pork without leaving any.
After eating, Jiang Yiyi put down her bowl and chopsticks, and Gu Yunyang and Gu Yuncan hurried to clean up. Their stomachs were full from eating, and they were afraid that Jiang Yiyi would see and criticize them, so they held their breath and covered up, and their movements to clean up were not as agile as before.
Jiang Yiyi just pretended not to see it. Noodles are not filling, and they will be digested before the evening. However, she asked them to eat less dumplings in the evening, so as not to be too full and unable to sleep at night.
In the kitchen, Gu Yuncan glanced around the house and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you think sister-in-law will let us have enough food in the future?"
In the past, sister-in-law always cooked for them in fixed quantities, one bowl per person, no more. It was the first time that she let them eat as much as they wanted today. She was afraid that sister-in-law would be angry, so she controlled herself and didn't dare to eat more. But the shredded pork noodles were so delicious that she couldn't control herself.
Gu Yunyang didn't say anything, but also looked in the direction of the house. He faintly heard Jiang Yiyi's voice coming from the house, "Sister, do you need me to accompany you this afternoon?"
He retracted his gaze and pursed his lips. That woman would not be nice to them for no reason. She must be planning something. But my little sister is still young, so I can't tell her these words. "Didn't she say she would make dumplings in the evening? Let's see then."
Inside the house, Gu Yunchi stroked the two sleepy children and shook his head. The Qin family would not allow her to divorce, so there would not be any trouble.
"Remember to write a divorce agreement. We don't want any child support, and the two children will have no relationship with the Qin family in the future."
In the future, couples who divorced would have a divorce agreement. She didn't know if there was one now, but no matter whether there was one or not, she had to let Gu Yunchi write it, so that the Qin family wouldn't use the child as an excuse to come to the door and harass her in the future.
Gu Yunchi nodded.
Jiang Yiyi didn't say much and went back to her room. After all, she had a high fever. Although she felt much more relaxed, the soreness and weakness had not completely subsided. She lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.
She slept very deeply and woke up in the afternoon. The sky had cleared up completely. The coolness after the rain had gone and the summer heat was coming. She felt much more relaxed, but her body was sweaty and uncomfortable.
She always loved cleanliness, and couldn't stand it, so she got up and went to the kitchen to boil water.
Gu's mother heard the noise and came out of the house. Seeing that she was adding water to the pot, she hurried over and said, "Go lie down in the house, and I will help you boil the water."
"Thank you, mom. It's okay now. I can burn it myself."
Mother Gu walked up to Jiang Yiyi and raised her hand to touch her forehead. Sure enough, it was no longer hot, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
At noon, she was shocked and completely forgot that Jiang Yiyi was still running a fever. It was only when she returned to the room that she remembered. When she was sleeping, I tiptoed to her window several times and looked in, but seeing that she didn't seem to have a fever, I didn't go in to disturb her sleep.
"Go wait in the bathroom. I'll boil some water and bring it to you."
When Gu's father built the house, he even built a separate bathroom.
"You can do it by yourself. Go back to the house and look after the two children."
After persuading Gu's mother to go back to the house, Jiang Yiyi boiled some water, took it to the bathroom in a basin, wiped herself, changed into clean clothes, washed the clothes she had taken off, hung them up to dry, and went to Gu's mother's room.
The two children had already woken up and were wearing dried clothes. They were sitting next to Mother Gu, one on each side. When they saw her, they subconsciously moved closer to her.
Sensing their uneasiness, Mother Gu said with a smile, "Tiantian, Yueyue, call me aunt."
"Aunt."
"Aunt."
They had just learned to speak, so their voices were not clear yet and were very small and cautious.
Jiang Yiyi patted their heads respectively and said, "Aunt will take you to the garden to pick vegetables, and then come back to make dumplings for you, okay?"
The two little people seemed to have never eaten dumplings before and didn't know what dumplings were. They looked at her blankly.
“Meat dumplings.”
Hearing about meat, the two little ones' eyes lit up and they looked at Mother Gu at the same time. When their mother left, she told them to listen to their grandmother.
"Go ahead."
The two little people stood up after hearing this. Jiang Yiyi put shoes on them respectively, carried them off the kang, and walked out, holding one of them in each hand. When they reached the door, she let the two little people hold hands, and she used her free hand to take off the sickle hanging at the door.
The vegetable garden was on the left side of the house. It was not big, but it had all kinds of seasonal vegetables, enough for the whole family. Before she came here, the original owner would pick vegetables every Sunday and sell them in the county, and then buy Bai Jun's favorite vegetables at the state-owned restaurant.
She asked the two little ones to wait by the garden, picked two medium-sized cucumbers, washed them and gave them to them to eat. Jiang Yiyi went into the vegetable garden and cut some leeks and fennel.
She likes to eat leeks, but Gu's mother has a weak appetite and can't eat them, so she packs some fennel for Gu's mother.
I saw some cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplants were ripe, so I picked them up.
After coming back from mowing the grass, Gu Yunyang's face changed. She wanted to rush to Jiang Yiyi to argue. In the past, she could have sold those vegetables, but now there are three more people in the family, especially the two nieces are still young, how can they not eat vegetables.
"elder brother."
The two are twins, a boy and a girl, with telepathy. Sensing his impulse, Gu Yuncan nervously grabbed his arm. Not knowing what was wrong with Gu Yunyang, he had been very hostile to his wife these past few days.
Jiang Yiyi also saw them, "It's just right that you are back, help me get these back home."
Seeing Gu Yunyang standing still, Gu Yuncan tugged at his clothes. Gu Yunyang took a deep breath and walked over. Gu Yuncan hurriedly followed.
As they got closer, Jiang Yiyi noticed Gu Yunyang's mood and knew that he thought she was selling the vegetables, so she didn't explain.
