Song Wenjing almost walked away.
Chi Xiaoai didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she suppressed her temper and said, "The braised meat business is so booming. My mother-in-law and I have tried it, but without the right amount, it simply doesn't taste good. So, I thought about going back to my parents' house to help and see if I could find a way to get the recipe and the right amount."
Song Wenjing paused for a moment. This was indeed a solution.
At the same time, he felt even more dissatisfied with his father-in-law's family: "How many days will it take? There's so much work to do at home."
Chi Xiaoai almost rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Work, work! All you care about is work. Can't you think of something else besides work? As long as the braised meat business is successful, we can make it to the city. Just imagine how much money we can make in a day."
Song Wenjing had no idea how much money he could make from the braised meat business.
Chi Xiaoai said: "My dad and his colleagues were able to buy a tricycle after just a few days of operation, which shows that the profit is considerable."
Song Wenjing immediately agreed: "Okay."
Chi Xiaoai: "Please explain clearly to my mother-in-law so that she won't blame me later."
Song Wenjing's heart was filled with excitement when he thought about going to the city to do business.
Then he replied, "Yeah."
…
Lin Guihua was busy marrying off her daughter and feeding the ducks. She was busy from morning to noon and never had a moment's rest.
As soon as Chi Xiaoai came over, she said, "Mom, I'll go home for lunch."
Lin Guihua responded, "Okay."
Chi Xiaoai looked around and didn't see Chi Lanlan, so she asked, "Where's my eldest sister? Why can't I see her?"
Lin Guihua said calmly, "Your elder sister is in the room."
Chi Xiaoai was curious: "What is she doing? Why doesn't she come out to help? Then I'll go to the house and take a look."
Chi Lanlan was cutting paper in the house, and each Double Happiness figure she cut looked lifelike.
Chi Xiaoai approached and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"
At first glance, Chi Xiaoai saw the paper-cutting in Chi Lanlan's hand and immediately said, "Sister, why didn't you come to me? I'm a first-class paper-cutting expert."
Chi Lanlan finished cutting the Double Happiness ribbon on her hand, then looked up and gave Chi Xiaoai a straight look: "What are you doing here?"
Chi Xiaoai smiled and said, "Sister, we are sisters. Why are you saying such polite words? I know you've been busy preparing your dowry recently, so I came to help."
Chi Lanlan felt that Chi Xiaoai was trying to hide her true intentions and that she definitely wasn't that kind.
"That's not necessary. There are so many people in the family. Besides, it wouldn't be fair for you to go back to your parents' house to help after you get married."
Chi Xiaoai said, "Sister, you are being too polite. We are sisters. It is only natural for me to come and help you if you are getting married."
She was enthusiastic: "Have you finished cutting the Double Happiness flowers? If not, I can help you cut some more."
"Need not."
Just when Chi Xiaoai's hand was about to touch the red paper, Chi Lanlan interrupted her: "It's best not to move. I'm afraid your hands are not clean."
Chi Xiaoai pursed her lips, looking aggrieved: "Sister, you are going too far when you say that."
"What's wrong with me?"
Chi Lanlan looked confused and said, "Marriage should be formal, isn't that what you said?"
Chi Xiaoai knew it was useless to continue talking to Chi Lanlan, so she simply said, "I'll go out and help Mom."
After saying that, she turned and walked out.
In the kitchen, Lin Guihua was making a fire. There were two ducks in the pot, and the rich aroma of braised meat wafted into the air.
Chi Xiaoai secretly took a few sips of water and waited a little longer. They would be able to eat such delicious braised meat often in the future.
She said, "Mom, I'll light the fire, you do the other things."
Lin Guihua asked, "Do you really want to stay and help?"
Chi Xiaoai was surprised: "Mom, do you think I'm kidding you? I said I would come to help, and I'm here to help."
Lin Guihua: "Everything is fine at home for now. Why don't you go home? Otherwise, your mother-in-law will scold you."
Chi Xiaoai pouted and asked, "Mom, are you afraid that I'll eat at home? Do you care so much if I eat a bite of your food?"
Lin Guihua looked at her daughter helplessly: "Do you think Mom is worried about this meal?"
"That's all." Chi Xiaoai pushed Lin Guihua out and said, "I'll light the fire. Just tell me how long you want it to burn."
Lin Guihua could only say, "Then watch carefully. There's an alarm clock next to you. The fire can be stopped in half an hour."
"Okay, I understand." Chi Xiaoai had a deep smile on her face. She would be able to get familiar with the way after staying for a few days.
Chi Lanlan stood by the window, watching what was happening in the kitchen, lowering her eyelids to hide the coldness in her eyes.
What is Chi Xiaoai's purpose in doing this?
She didn't think that Chi Xiaoai's overflowing love and running back to her parents' home to help meant that she had some purpose.
Purpose?
Want her braised food?
There was a sneer on her lips.
Well, let the parents see what kind of daughter they have in mind.
…
Chi Xiaoai squeezed in at home and just didn't want to go back.
Chi Lanlan didn't care about her either.
There are only a few kinds of marinade ingredients, and Chi Xiaoai should have seen through them long ago. Besides, there are so many braised dishes to make, and she can't keep this business forever.
Chi Lanlan cut out the double happiness character and prepared to give it to Zhou Jingyun.
As soon as the person came out of the room, Chi Xiaoai asked, "Sister, are you going to town tomorrow?"
Chi Lanlan stopped and looked at her quietly.
Chi Xiaoai said awkwardly: "Sister, I don't mean anything else, I'm just asking."
