Having finally accomplished a major task, Song Yan'er and the old lady returned home. The rest was up to Xiao Yuan! There was nothing more she could do!
"Grandma, what are we having for dinner tonight? Do you want some barbecue?"
Song Yan'er and the old lady exchanged a glance, and then burst into laughter for no apparent reason!
Clearly, the old lady was also craving barbecue!
"Barbecue, crayfish, and beer are the perfect combination, what a pity!" Song Yan'er looked at the old lady shaking her head with great regret!
The old lady said, "What's the pity? It can't be done?"
Song Yan'er grinned mischievously: "Of course I feel sorry for you. Such good snacks to go with your drinks, and you can't even drink them? Isn't that a pity?"
old lady……
Thinking about how easily I can't hold my liquor (just one drink)!
The old lady agreed!
However, this did not dampen the old lady's spirits! She returned home very happily and began preparations!
Song Yan'er took out ingredients and barbecue tools from her space. Thanks to her being a foodie in her previous life, she could eat whatever she wanted even when she was deep in the mountains!
"What are we planning to eat today?"
As soon as there was a commotion, Song Dahai and his wife came out. The couple were extremely bored every day. Song Dahai's daily task was to watch over his mother and prevent her from doing anything dangerous. Song's mother said that she didn't want to have children anymore because of Song Dahai's constant nagging.
Of course, these were just words spoken in anger. The two are still incredibly loving every day. Luckily, Song Yan'er has Xiao Yang, otherwise she would be eating her fill of dog food every day!
"Yan'er made us barbecue, it was so delicious! Oh, right, Dahai, go buy some more meat, all kinds of meat, I'm afraid it won't be enough!" The old lady was busy with her work, skewering vegetables, and when she realized there wasn't much meat, she quickly told Song Dahai to go buy some!
"Alright, Yan'er, you watch over your mother. I'm going to buy some meat and I'll be right back. Make sure she doesn't have to do any work, okay? Wait for me to come home and do the chores!"
"Alright, Dad, I know. You should go now, or there won't be any left. Oh, and could you come over to the shop and call Chenmeng over to eat with us?"
Thanks to Chenmeng, I was able to do my own thing with peace of mind while I was away from home!
Following Song's mother's advice, Shen Meng would visit Song Dahai and his wife almost every day to see if they needed anything.
These things touched Song Yan'er deeply. She thought, "This is a very good friend!"
"Look how much your father dotes on your mother, just like a young boy. Your mother is truly a blessed person!" The old lady sighed with emotion when she saw Song Dahai and his wife.
After living in the palace for a long time, I felt that it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. But after leaving the palace, I realized that living a life second only to the emperor and above thousands of others was not as comfortable as being an ordinary couple!
At least I don't have to share my man with so many people, and at least I don't have to live such a tiring life every day!
The old lady is now very envious of Song's mother!
Song Yan'er glanced at the old lady and roughly understood her feelings, but one's birth is not something anyone can choose. Therefore, the Empress Dowager had her regrets, and the ordinary young couple also had their own unresolved sorrows!
"Alright, why be so sentimental and make yourself unhappy? Grandma will make you chilled watermelon juice tonight!"
"That's why they say grandma's granddaughter-in-law understands me best! On such a hot day, I definitely need some iced drinks!"
July is almost here, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Even if you sit still, you'll be covered in sweat.
Song's mother was an elderly pregnant woman, and she couldn't sleep because of the heat every day. Fortunately, after Song Yan'er came back, she made some ice. Every night when she went to sleep, she would put two bowls of ice in the room, which made her feel very comfortable!
Of course, Song Yan'er had considered making ice to sell for money, but there was simply no manpower available!
I'm just lazy, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation where I haven't done anything very well!
There are also 100 acres of watermelons in the field that will be ready to sell soon, so Bai Zihua will be very busy during this period, as there is simply no manpower available! Since Brother Song used to be a镖师 (bodyguard/escort), Song Yan'er had him train with Bai Zihua so that he could transport watermelons on his own in the future!
Ugh, I can't think about it, my head is about to explode! No, I still need to find Xiao Yang for manpower. I don't know anyone here, but Xiao Yang is different. He's a native and the son of a great general. He should have plenty of trustworthy people!
Seeing Song Yan'er and the old lady busy skewering and washing vegetables, Song's mother felt restless sitting there!
"I'm fine sitting here, I'll wear it with you!"
When Song Yan'er saw her mother coming over, she was startled. There was no sewer in the vegetable washing area; it was right next to the well, and the water was poured directly onto the ground, making it a bit slippery!
Song Yan'er stepped forward to support her mother: "Mom, can you please stop scaring me? This place is all water. What if you slip and fall? My father will strangle me. If you really have nothing better to do, go next door and call Xiao Yang, Bai Zihua, and Xiao Yuan to see if they have time to come home for dinner!"
"Alright!" Song's mother was also a little scared when she saw the water under her feet. She had finally gotten pregnant with this child, and she had to keep it no matter what!
Song Yan'er quickened her pace.
The old lady suddenly exclaimed, "Do you have cumin? It seems like they don't have cumin here. Ah, a barbecue without cumin is an incomplete barbecue!"
Song Yan'er: "Absolutely! What kind of barbecue is it without cumin!"
The cumin is all grown in the garden, and the taste is absolutely amazing!
After hearing this, the old lady sat down again and continued skewering the vegetables!
The vegetables are finally all skewered, now it's time for the meat! We can start cooking as soon as Song Dahai gets back!
"Grandma, do you want more crayfish?"
Since Xiao Yang had never tried it before, Song Yan'er wanted him to try it and see if he liked it!
"Of course I want some, but there aren't any crayfish!"
I just asked someone to go buy it, but unfortunately they couldn't find it!
Song Yan'er smiled mysteriously: "I guarantee you'll have crayfish tonight!"
When everything was almost finished, everyone had arrived! Song Yan'er's spicy crayfish was also ready. Considering that everyone was a foodie, she specially made a lot of crayfish this time, two whole big basins!
Next to the barbecue grill, an old lady was teaching everyone how to grill meat.
Under the old lady's guidance, everyone's grilling skills were quite good, and with the various seasonings produced by Song Yan'er's space, the taste was simply amazing!
Bai Zihua is clumsy; when he tries to grill meat, it's either burnt or undercooked, so he just carries a plate around and mooches off other people!
"Hey, Chenmeng, your grilled meat is pretty good. Can I have a skewer? You have no idea how hungry I am today. I haven't eaten much at all!"
Chen Meng looked up at Bai Zihua and casually tossed a few skewers of beef onto Bai Zihua's plate.
Bai Zihua immediately took the plate with great joy, holding it in one hand and picking up a beef skewer with the other to start eating.
There was no way around it, it just smelled so good. If Bai Zihua didn't eat it soon, he was afraid his mouth would water and he would lose face terribly!
