Chapter 9 People have three urgent needs
As soon as Xu Qingmeng brought out the finished pies, she heard He praising her, "How could I do that? My master never let me cook once when he was alive. This is all done by my daughter-in-law. Although she is fat, she is very fertile and has very skillful hands. That's why we are thinking about reopening this shop. After all, it is the hard work of my master."
"You are so lucky to have married a good wife to Yun Yi."
After all, in this era, a fat woman means she is good at giving birth. When He heard people praising her, her face lit up with joy. When Xu Qingmeng heard this, she almost found a hole to crawl into. Her chubby face turned red instantly, and she quickly walked over with the pie in her hand.
"Mom, the pie is ready."
"Well, fine, you can just ask me to fetch it, instead of running back and forth."
He took the pie skillfully, and then happened to meet someone else who came to buy pies, and asked skillfully, "How many pies do you want?"
"One meat bun, two vegetarian buns, and three cabbage and tofu buns."
"Okay."
Soon, many people gathered around He, and she turned around and said, "Mom, there are no more pies, but there are only about fifty buns in the pot."
"Okay, I understand."
After Xu Qingmeng entered, some people surrounded He and said, "Your daughter-in-law is so fat, she has ruined your eldest son."
He was immediately displeased when she heard this. "What are you talking about? My daughter-in-law is fat because she has three good brothers and a good father who don't want her to work. Look, the firewood in my house was brought to me by her brothers in turn. Although she is from the countryside, she was also spoiled and grew up with such a good skill. She is also filial to me. What do you know? I think you are just jealous."
The man was stunned by what He said, his face flushed, "Who, who is jealous, I, I just said that."
"You can't say that. I am very satisfied with my daughter-in-law. Don't talk nonsense. My Yun Yi is not that kind of person."
He gave the man a look and went to greet other guests.
After that person left, an old lady who had a good relationship with the He family came over and said, "Sister He, don't be angry. She is just a bad-mouthed person and can't stand others being better than her."
"Hmph, I know. I won't bother with her." He snorted and continued to busy herself.
Xu Qingmeng listened inside and felt warm in her heart. Even if her original self was not a good person, He might have regretted it before, but now she has changed and is even defending herself everywhere.
After they finished cleaning up, the sun was getting higher and Xiao Yunsheng and He Xiao Yunmo had already gotten up. They put on their clothes and went to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, I smell the fragrance of buns. Are we eating buns today?" Xiao Yunsheng said with anticipation.
"Well, eat the buns. Sister-in-law also left some meat patties for you two. Do you want to try some?"
"Yes, yes, I want to eat it. Yun Sheng likes meat the most, but Yun Sheng likes his sister-in-law the most."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "You, I don't think you like my sister-in-law, but the delicious food she cooks. Go wash your face and hands and get ready to eat."
Xu Qingmeng brought the porridge, pancakes and buns to the table. The two children were already eight years old and did not need help at all. However, Xu Qingmeng did not forget the big boss in the room.
As agreed last night, we would improve their meals, so I made a special lean meat porridge for the boss using last night's pork bone soup, and also steamed two egg custards for him.
Xu Qingmeng looked at the breakfast and thought that the boss would not be picky about it, so this could be considered an improvement in the food for him.
Xu Qingmeng pushed open the door and saw that Gu Yunyi had already stood up.
He was wrapped in a clean white inner garment, and his thin figure seemed even taller and thinner than when he was lying down. However, he had been tortured by illness for a long time, and the original owner had given him a strong drug, so his face was as pale as paper.
He staggered and held onto the bedpost, trying to stand up, feeling very weak.
Seeing this, Xu Qingmeng hurriedly put down the tray in his hand and rushed forward to support him.
"How did you get up? The doctor said that you are not very strong and cannot get up easily. If you need anything, just call us."
Xu Qingmeng spoke with concern and tried to put her arm around him gently, but his arms were too thick. Embarrassed, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, so she could only signal with her eyes for him to lie down again.
Gu Yunyi looked at her. Although Xu Qingmeng was still as fat as before, her long black hair was tied up, neat and tidy, not as sloppy as before. She was so close to him that he felt that she seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye than before. He could even smell a faint floral fragrance that was refreshing and calming.
It's really strange. How come this person seems to have changed his mind in just these two days? And from last night till now, he has almost been staying in the kitchen. Shouldn't his body be covered with the smell of food and smoke?
Gu Yunyi frowned slightly, but thought, if he could be thinner and stay like this forever, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"What are you thinking about? Are your legs still weak?"
Xu Qingmeng wanted to help him to the bed, but when she saw that he still didn't move, she bent down and picked him up.
Gu Yunyi quickly stopped her, "No, go out first and call Yun Mo over for me."
Xu Qingmeng was bewildered, “What do you want him to do? What can a kid do…” Then she reacted immediately, as if she had thought of something, and immediately stopped what she was about to say. Then, looking at Gu Yunyi’s increasingly darker face, she smiled awkwardly.
People have three urgent needs. She was too abrupt and had no tact.
Xu Qingmeng hurriedly left the room and just in time saw Xiao Yunmo, who had just washed his face, walking towards her.
"Sister-in-law, you called me?" Xiao Yunmo looked at Xu Qingmeng and asked.
"Well, your eldest brother is calling you, go in and take a look."
Xu Qingmeng said this somewhat awkwardly, returned to the kitchen with a red face, lowered her head and started drinking porridge.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Why is your face so red?" Xiao Yunsheng asked worriedly.
"No, sister-in-law just ran too fast, eat quickly."
"Ohhh, okay."
He cleaned up everything in front before coming in to eat. She had made some money and her face was filled with smiles.
"Mrs. Tian from Lane 10 praised your steamed buns and pancakes for being delicious, and said she would come back to buy more tomorrow. And Mrs. Wang from Lane 6 originally bought one pancake, but later came back to buy four more pancakes and six steamed buns. It's clear they all like it very much."
After a while, Xiao Yunmo came back for dinner and told He that his brother could get up by himself.
He was so excited that she put her hands together and bowed to the west. "This is really great. This fortune teller is so accurate. He said at that time that my Qing Meng is really the lucky star of our family. Look at this, Yun Yi is also getting better, and the family shop has also opened up. He is really the lucky star of our Gu family. Amitabha, thank the Buddha, thank the Buddha."
