Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Xiang Shengnan heard the conversation here and said to Sun: "Duo'er is right, mother-in-law, don't be polite, eat more vegetables."

"Sister Qing'er, sister Lian'er, and the children, eat more!"

In addition to a big pot of fish pot pancakes, Xiaoduo also fried several other dishes.

For example, as usual, she fried a large plate of beef with the salted peppers she had pickled herself.

I made small pieces of braised pork tied with twine.

Yang Ruoqing didn't quite understand why the braised pork had to be cut into neat small pieces of fermented tofu and then tied up with thread. Isn't that too much trouble?

And when eating, you have to remember to avoid the line, which is like taking off your pants to fart.

Just cut it and cook it in the pan, then eat it with your eyes closed. How convenient!

But then again, it takes some effort to burn paper money like this. You have to use a ruler to measure the uniform size, then use a thin thread to carefully tie it into a cross pattern, then boil the sauce in the pot, then pour it into a large black pottery bowl, and then spend some time arranging it. The bowl of braised pork served on the table has a rich and fragrant sauce, and is neatly arranged. Each piece of braised pork is coated with sauce and chopped green onions, crystal clear, and trembling when held between chopsticks, like a work of art.

Even Yang Ruoqing, who never ate fatty meat, had the urge to take a bite, but she finally gave up the idea. After all, even if she was greedy, her stomach couldn't adapt to fatty meat.

However, Sun and He Lian'er didn't have so many concerns, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law enjoyed the meal with relish.

"Sister, if you don't like the fatty braised pork, there are also lean ones. You can pick some to taste. I can't be busy for most of the day and you don't eat a bite, then my hard work will be meaningless!"

Well, Xiaoduo has also learned how to persuade others to cook, but her generation has not followed the crazy habit of Sun and her previous generation to persuade others to cook, and they only talk but don’t do anything.

Unlike people of Sun's generation, they don't care whether you want to eat it or not, they just use a copper ladle to scoop the braised pork into your bowl!

"Duo'er, the dishes you prepared are enough for me to eat. Look, there are fried eggplant with peppers, fried eggs with cucumbers, and gourd and pork soup. I eat a lot of them! You are busy and interesting!"

"Well, if you come to my place to eat, you're welcome. I won't care if you go back hungry!"

"Don't worry, you won't be hungry. Don't just focus on persuading people to eat. Hurry up and sit down and eat with Shengnan!"

"Okay." Xiaoduo turned around and told Xiang Shengnan: "You eat. I'll go to the kitchen to scrape the rice crust and rice soup. My mother likes to drink rice soup with the rice crust later."

After lunch, the rain didn't stop and was even getting heavier, which made Sun a little troubled.

"Don't worry, mother. It will definitely be smaller by the evening." Yang Ruoqing counseled Sun, "Even if it is really not small, father and my uncle will come to the pasture to check on the situation."

He Lian'er came over and said to Sun and Yang Ruoqing: "Mom, sister, the children seem to be sleepy after lunch..."

Xiaoduo came out from the kitchen: "It's simple. Lingling and Jiaojiao's beds are all new mats and quilts. I'll arrange for them to take a nap. After they take a nap, we can sit down and have a good chat."

This morning, it was really lively, but also really noisy.

Especially with seven or eight children, all of whom are active and lively, just imagine the scene...

After a cup of tea, except Lingling, all the other children were coaxed to bed by Xiaoduo and the others.

There were two beds, with two or three sleeping on each. He Lian'er and Linglan stayed in the room to look after the house, while Xiaoduo asked Sun and Yang Ruoqing to go to the main room next door to talk and drink tea.

"Why doesn't Lian'er come when we want to chat? The children are asleep, so Linglan can be alone!" Xiaoduo was a little puzzled and asked Yang Ruoqing quietly.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I guess he is worried about Niu Niu. After all, he has moved to a new sleeping place and he is afraid that Niu Niu will not sleep well and will make noise." "Oh!" Xiaoduo nodded and did not delve into it.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head away, but she had another guess in her mind.

Lian'er is, after all, a daughter-in-law. Although she gets along well with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun, and has a good time with her sisters-in-law, she still has to be careful about her limits at certain times.

On one hand, she might be really worried that Niu Niu would not feel comfortable sleeping in a different place, so she wanted to stay with him. On the other hand, she might also want to give Sun, Yang Ruoqing, and Xiaoduo, the mother and daughter, a chance to have a private conversation.

In the small hall next door, the three of them had just sat down. Sun peeked outside and made sure that Xiang Shengnan had gone to the cowshed to take care of the cows. Then she turned her head back, following Xiaoduo's figure with her eyes, and started speaking the same language and literature that 99% of mothers in the world usually do.

"Duo'er, you went back to your mother's home during the Dragon Boat Festival last time. Your aunt and your grandmother were there, so it was not convenient for me to ask you in detail."

"We are alone now. Tell me honestly, how have you and Shengnan been getting along these days?"

Xiaoduo had just poured herself a bowl of tea and sat down, when she was greeted by Sun's language and literature.

"Mom, what do you mean by 'how are you doing?'" Xiao Duo was overjoyed and turned to complain to Yang Ruoqing: "My daughters are so old now, and Shengnan and I are an old married couple. Do we need to get deeper into our relationship?"

Yang Ruoqing could only laugh. It was Sun's fault for asking such a question that it was impossible to answer!

When people ask about a relationship, they are usually asking about young couples who have just met, young couples who have been married for less than a year, or new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or new sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

Xiaoduo and Xiang Shengnan, an old couple, hold their left hand.

Sun also realized that her question was a bit inappropriate, but she didn't laugh. Instead, she continued to ask Xiaoduo seriously: "Tell me, is Shengnan treating you well now?"

"Mom, what do you think? Except for being poor at speaking and a little dull, he listens to me in other aspects." Xiaoduo said.

"That's good, that's good. As long as he listens to you and takes what you say seriously, I will be relieved."

"That's right," Xiaoduo said, "You see, when we were having dinner before, he was a grown man, but he stood by and took care of his daughters like a woman and let them eat first. He is different now than when he was young. He is very family-oriented now, especially to his daughters. He takes good care of them. He told me several times that we are the ones he cares about the most!"

"Oh? He really said that?"

"Mother, what are you asking? Could I lie to you and my sister, and flatter myself in front of you?"

Yang Ruoqing seemed to be thinking about something. She couldn't blame Sun for asking this question. After all, they were young and hot-tempered at the time and had even had a quarrel.

If they hadn't quarreled, Xiaoduo wouldn't have given birth prematurely...

But, to be honest, "Well, from what I've observed, Shengnan is indeed more calm, careful, and patient than before, like a good husband and a good father."

Sun was relieved, "That's good, as long as you live a good life, your father and I will rest assured!"

"Naduoer, how are you doing now?"

"What do you mean, mother?"

"Mother, what I mean is, if you recover and Rourou is three years old, you should also consider giving the Xiang family another son?" (End of this chapter)
