When Chen Ruxue entered the house, she heard her mother-in-law cursing in the street and was also shocked.
She couldn't help but wonder who had provoked this firecracker mother-in-law again.
"Mom, who are you angry with?
Mother Ye glanced at Chen Ruxue unhappily, then lowered her head to add more firewood.
"Mom, look what I bought today: rice, white flour, millet, apples, pork, and pork bones."
When Ye's mother heard this, she no longer cared about being angry. She quickly ran out of the kitchen and took the meat and bones from Chen Ruxue's hands.
"The meat we bought is really good. It's more fat and less lean. It's absolutely delicious when stewed. And the bones have a lot of meat on them. They're perfect for making pickled cabbage bones. Haonan loves them.
As for the rest of the rice, flour, etc., take them back to your rooms immediately and don't show them off."
Chen Ruxue had no choice but to follow what Ye's mother said and carry all the things back to her room. However, while Ye's mother was not paying attention, she had already quietly put the apple in her hand into the inner room.
Thanks to the meat Chen Ruxue brought back, everyone had a hearty lunch at noon: a large pot of potatoes, beans, and pork belly slices, a large pot of sauerkraut and large bones, a large pot of steamed eggplant, and a large pot of sparse scallion and egg soup.
The portion was generous and everyone was very satisfied.
Perhaps the lunch was so delicious that the kang was ready before three in the afternoon. Then, according to Chen Ruxue's suggestion, two slightly smaller stoves were built.
After the family split up, there were only her and Ye Haonan left to eat, and two small stoves were enough.
Not to mention how much Chen Ruxue was looking forward to sleeping on the warm kang she had been waiting for for a long time, let’s just talk about Ye’s mother. After she had cleaned up the pots and pans and was about to go back to the room to lie down, she saw the big, round, red apples on the kang.
"This child..." Mother Ye almost burst out laughing. Who said that her second daughter-in-law was useless? She was obviously a filial child who could coax people.
"Mom, grandma asked me to ask you where that piece of floral cloth is... Oh, the apple is so big!"
As soon as Ye Qingqing entered the house, she saw the bag of red apples. It was the first time in her life that she had seen such good apples. She couldn't help but reach out to take them.
"Pa," Ye's mother patted the back of her hand. "You're going on a blind date in a few days. These apples are so good. It's perfect to save them for entertaining guests that day. It'll be presentable."
"Mom, why are you like this? There are so many of them, so what if I eat one? You're so stingy!"
Seeing her little girl pout, Ye's mother felt a little distressed. "Okay, stop complaining. Hurry up and take one out. Isn't that piece of floral cloth in your grandma's bag? Go back and look carefully."
"Then I'll go back to my room first!" Ye Qingqing stretched out her hand, took the biggest apple and ran out.
Ye's mother shook her head helplessly. This girl is already 18 years old, but she still acts like a child. If she really gets married, she will be worried to death! Alas! Children are a debt! It's all the old man's fault. Who told him to be so handsome when he was older and dazzled her?
Father Ye, who was heating the kang for his son, suddenly sneezed very loudly and rubbed his nose with his hand. Who was talking about him again?
That night, Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan temporarily slept in the west room.
There are still two single beds, and each person occupies one.
Chen Ruxue was half asleep when she heard the system's voice suddenly announce, "Congratulations to the host, you have obtained fifty points and twenty merit points."
The voice immediately interrupted Chen Ruxue's sleep: "Xiao De, could you please not attack so suddenly? I was completely unprepared and you almost scared me to death."
"I'm sorry, host. I'll be more careful next time."
"Okay! I forgive you. By the way, how come I suddenly have points again? I don't think I did anything."
"According to the system's detection, the host indirectly helped several elderly people today, saving them from persecution by the Ergou brothers. These points and merits were independently issued after being approved by the system."
"I really didn't expect your system to be so user-friendly! I admire you!"
Unfortunately, the system stopped working again.
Chen Ruxue rolled her eyes: This system always does this, it must be a lazy one!
Thinking of the old lady who passed away today, Chen Ruxue suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
Although I didn't interact with her much, it was not difficult to see that the old lady was a very good person. It was a pity that she didn't have a good ending.
Chen Ruxue thought that once she knew where her grandmother was buried, she could go there quietly more often in the future.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep in a daze.
Ye Haonan, lying on the other bed, felt a warm sensation in his heart as he listened to Chen Ruxue's breathing. It seemed that since he drank the medicine she had begged for, his legs had gotten much better, and even the pain had eased a lot. It seemed that he could sleep peacefully again tonight.
Chen Ruxue slept until the rooster crowed. After a quick wash, she began to prepare dinner.
Before, because of something, Ye's mother was willing to help, but now she can't do that. If she doesn't cook for herself, I'm afraid her eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife will have objections.
Chen Ruxue actually knows how to cook, but she rarely cooked before, let alone cooked on this wood stove.
But who is she? She is the smartest and most capable Chen Ruxue. Cooking is naturally not a difficult task for her.
When she brought in the prepared sweet potato porridge, pickled radish strips, and the steamed buns made of corn, soybean, and white flour that her mother had given her, Ye Haonan also opened his eyes.
However, when he saw Chen Ruxue, his expression suddenly became very strange, with embarrassment mixed with some awkwardness, and then his face turned red.
He turned around quickly, and after a long while, his expression finally returned to normal.
