Chapter 342: Love Yourself
"You're right. Having your cousin and the other three is enough for me. Men are really dispensable. It's better not to have a man like Yang Hansheng." Qiao Chengting said with a smile.
"We women should take care of ourselves. It would be better if we kicked out useless men as soon as possible."
"You, there's no need to comfort me. Those things are in the past." Qiao Chengting shook her head in amusement when she saw Qiao Mo pretending to be mature.
"No more talking, let's eat."
After dinner, Qiao Chengting insisted on washing the dishes, so Qiao Mo had to let her do it. She took a basket and went to the backyard to pick the ripe green beans, peppers, and eggplants. She picked out the ones with worms and blanched the rest in water or steamed them before drying them in the sun the next morning.
As for bitter melon and cucumber, they only need to be cut into slices or strips and dried directly. She picks them in the morning when she prepares them, so they will be fresher.
In this era, supplies were not very abundant. Although there were vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, and lettuce in winter, there were no other vegetables. Therefore, as long as the conditions allowed, many people would dry some vegetables.
After doing all this, it was time for a nap. She said hello to Qiao Chengting and went back to the bedroom for a nap.
In the afternoon, Wu Weiqian and Wu Weijin came over at 2:30. Qiao Mo heard that the two brothers could use a sewing machine but had never used an overlock machine, so he asked them to sew the clothes and asked Qiao Chengting to overlock the edges.
She herself made clothes, spending two hours first on the skirt, then on the shirt and the false collar.
As soon as five o'clock passed, she started preparing lunch. When cooking, she added a small amount of sweet potato rice. Because there were four people, she made four dishes: twice-cooked pork with green beans, scrambled eggs with bitter melon, roasted chili peppers and smashed cucumbers.
After dinner, Brother Wu Weiqian did not sit for a while and then go home as usual. Instead, he took a walk in the yard for half an hour and then sewed skirts for another hour before going home.
"Momo, your two brothers are really capable. They are as good as the masters in making clothes." Qiao Chengting said with emotion. She had never seen such capable boys in her life.
"My godfather wants to train them to be all-rounders, so making clothes is really a piece of cake for them," Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"It's already very good for a boy to be able to do this. Your godfather is still not satisfied?" Qiao Chengting asked in surprise.
"It's not that we're dissatisfied, we just want to try our best to let them learn more so that they won't starve to death wherever they go in the future." Qiao Mo shook his head. Wu Yuanxin and Bai Ge were still very satisfied with their two sons, but they didn't say it.
"When parents love their children, they will plan for their future." Qiao Chengting seemed thoughtful.
"Yes, if my two brothers had not received training and learned various skills since childhood, I don't know how much hardship they would have had to endure when they were in the countryside." Qiao Mo felt that Wu Yuanxin was the wisest father.
"It seems that you have to let your cousin learn to cook too." Qiao Chengting couldn't help but feel a headache when she thought that her children could only cook boiled water.
"Yes, especially my cousins. If they learn how to cook, it will be easier for them to find the right husband in the future." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"Haha, Mo Mo is right. In order to help them find good wives, we must also teach them how to do things in the kitchen." Qiao Chengting laughed.
