After hearing this, Sister Li was about to refuse:
"You should go and rest for a while now."
Then she thought about how she still had to cook for Lu Ze and the others:
"How about I help you cook?"
Xu Niannian rubbed her waist and didn't want to hold on any longer:
"Then I'll trouble you, auntie."
Da Niu and Er Niu were very happy. They hadn't eaten Aunt Xu's pastries for a long time, and today they were lucky enough to have them.
The aroma of pastries in the kitchen had not yet dissipated when Xu Niannian picked out two plates, handed one to Da Niu and Er Niu, and one to Lu Ze and Lu Yilin.
I gave two more to Sister Li:
"Sister-in-law, please take a break first."
Sister Li quickly refused:
"Hey, let's give these rare things to Lu Ze and the others."
Although the fragrance keeps entangled in my nose, this one looks very precious. My own children have already eaten a plate of other people's food, how can I have the nerve to ask for more from them!
Xu Niannian had just washed her hands, and she picked up one from the plate and put it near Mrs. Li's mouth.
Sister Li had no choice but to eat it.
It is soft and smooth when you put it in your mouth, and it slides down your throat before you even sip it. It also has a light milky fragrance.
No wonder Big Cow and Second Cow kept howling in the yard after they had the food in their mouths.
She had never eaten something so precious. It looked so golden. It was the first time she had seen it.
"What is this made of? It tastes milky and fragrant."
"It's made with milk, eggs, and sugar. It tastes good, right?"
Sister Li was amazed when she heard this. No wonder it looked so precious. Nothing was bad in it.
"It's so delicious that my tongue almost falls off. Go back and have a rest."
Xu Niannian originally thought that it would be inappropriate for her to go back home after letting the guests cook here, but she heard Sister Li say:
"Then sister-in-law, cook more and prepare meals for your family as well."
At this point, after I finish cooking, I probably won’t have enough time to go back and cook another meal.
"Well, all right."
This eldest sister is such a nice person. In the past, in the village, everyone was afraid of being at a disadvantage, but with Xu Niannian, everyone was always afraid that others would be at a disadvantage.
Thinking about those terrible things that happened in the morning, she had to complain to her old man at noon.
After Xu Niannian entered the house, she called Daniu over:
"Go to my house and pick a Chinese cabbage, and bring me some dried beans."
Lu Ze and Lu Yilin sat on a small stool, eating the milk cake given by their aunt, and glanced at the door from time to time.
Erniu also made a "hush" gesture to Da Niu:
"My aunt is not feeling well and needs to go to bed. Please speak softly so as not to disturb her."
Da Niu and Er Niu obediently shut their mouths and lowered their heads to eat the cakes in their hands.
Lu Ze pouted. Just now, his aunt touched their heads before going in. It was all because of those bad guys that his aunt was exhausted. When his uncle comes back, he will definitely go and complain.
Xu Niannian went into the house and changed her clothes, then went into the space and drank some spiritual spring water before she felt recovered.
When I was lying in bed, I felt a slight pulling sensation in my lower abdomen. I guess my uterus was being pulled bigger.
I don’t know if it’s because my waist was too thin before, or because there are too many babies inside, but my belly is now bigger than before.
Since Lu Huaijin left, the calendar on the wall has been torn off one by one.
After lying there for more than half an hour, there was a knock on the door:
"Niannian, the meal is ready. How about I bring it to you?"
Xu Niannian got out of bed and opened the door:
"No need, auntie, I'm fine now."
Sister Li was relieved when she saw her complexion return to normal:
"Don't take what they say to heart. If they don't cause trouble every day, they won't feel at ease."
After saying a few more words of comfort, he took Da Niu and Er Niu back.
At noon, Sister Li cooked a big pot of rice with a lot of stew in it. She usually didn't want to use oil, but considering Xu Niannian's taste, she added a lot of oil.
It tastes pretty good.
Lu Ze was eating the food in his mouth, but his mind was not on it.
Xu Niannian drank a mouthful of corn porridge and glanced at Lu Ze:
"Didn't I tell you, kids, if you have any problems, you should tell your aunt. Otherwise, you won't grow tall if you have too many worries."
Lu Ze became anxious when he heard this, thinking that if he didn't grow taller, he wouldn't be able to protect his aunt.
He said angrily:
"My brother and I won't tell them stories anymore. Their mother is so annoying! She even reported their aunt."
Xu Niannian was stunned. She didn't expect that he would take revenge.
"We Zeze have the right to make our own judgment."
She is not a saint. It is not her style not to retaliate when bullied by others. It is also good for children to have their own opinions.
She doesn't need to teach the child to be a saintly father, as this will easily lead to him becoming a doughty person and being bullied by others.
Lu Yilin also said beside him:
"I won't teach them to read, either."
While eating, Xu Niannian did not touch their hair:
"Hey, eat quickly, the food will get cold soon."
After dinner, Lu Ze took a small basin to collect water, then stood on tiptoe to pour the water into the dishwashing pot one by one.
Xu Niannian took it from him:
"I can do it. Our Zeze will grow up a year and help Auntie with work when he has strength, okay?"
Lu Ze nodded and rubbed her legs again:
"Aunt, have I caused you any trouble?"
"No, why do you feel that way?"
"If my brother and I hadn't shown the comic strips to other people, my aunt wouldn't have been criticized."
Xu Niannian quickly washed the dishes in her hands and pulled him to Lu Yilin's side:
"Remember, even though you are my nephews, in my heart you are no different from my own children. You did nothing wrong in the beginning. It was others who made mistakes. There is no need to blame yourself for others' mistakes."
Then he kissed each of them on the cheek:
"Okay, go inside and read a book or draw."
The two little kids were coaxed into submission and felt much more relaxed. They happily ran into the house.
In their hearts, Xu Niannian is as good as their mother.
Mrs. Li from next door was praising how delicious the pastries made by Xu Niannian were.
The two men praised him tirelessly, and the man was drooling when they heard him:
"So, you didn't leave any for me?"
...It's embarrassing, who can remember so much when there is so much delicious food in front of them.
In order to change the subject, he started complaining about what happened in the morning.
The man frowned when he heard this:
"Is there anything else? I'll have a chat with Vice Captain Wang this afternoon. We're fighting hard in the front, but we can't afford to lose our footing in the back."
Wang Xiuping, who was criticized by Aunt Yang and looked very embarrassed, returned home and saw Tiedan looking at her eyebrows and nose as if they were not eyebrows and not a nose.
Seeing her coming over, he snorted coldly.
He had just followed others to watch the fun, but he didn't expect that instead of watching the fun, he was looked down upon by his brothers.
Now his friends don’t want to play with him anymore, saying he is a troublemaker.
