Chapter 117: Xiaoqiao’s Engagement (2)
When Widow Zheng came to Lin's house, Mrs. Li was busy preparing the family's dinner in the kitchen. She still made some cornmeal pancakes today, and now the Lin family eats cornmeal pancakes almost every meal. And compared to rice, the four Lin Xiaoqiao brothers and sisters all feel that eating food made of cornmeal is fresher.

Of course, Lin Xiaoqiao also asked Mrs. Li to change the pattern every day, and make this cornmeal food for them. Today, the first one is cornmeal potstickers. Mix the cornmeal with water to form a ball, and make the reconciled cornmeal. The oval-shaped pancakes were pasted all over the big iron pan.

In the steaming cauldron, there were still two silver carp stewed. This fish was just caught by Lin Erniu from the small river in the village today.

As the fire became more and more intense, the aroma from the pot became stronger and stronger. The fresh aroma of the fish soup mixed with the burnt aroma of the cornmeal potstickers, this taste is really too tempting.

Moreover, the cornmeal potstickers made in this way will have a layer of yellow-orange-orange rice crust on the bottom, and absorb the fragrance of fish soup, which will really make people who eat this pancake very enjoyable.

Yesterday, Lin Xiaoqiao's family ate this for dinner, but later, the two brothers Dalang Erlang said they didn't have enough, and the Lin Xiaoqiao sisters also clamored to eat it tomorrow, so today, In order to satisfy the appetite of the four brothers and sisters, Mrs. Li made this cornmeal potsticker as a family dinner.

As soon as Widow Zheng stepped into the courtyard of Lin's family, she smelled a strong fresh fragrance. She knew that this was something delicious that Mrs. Li was cooking again, so she went straight to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Li.

Seeing Widow Zheng's arrival, Mrs. Li didn't stop her work, but said angrily, "Sister, you're here. Why haven't you come for several days? What are you busy with?"

Widow Zheng was not in a hurry to answer Li's question. Anyway, the two of them were already very familiar with each other, and they almost talked about everything. She walked over to look at the food in the pot, and then said: "Oh, it's so delicious! You teach me how to make these pancakes, and I'll do the same when I go back. Just smelling this smell, my appetite is whetted!"

Mrs. Li is almost busy now, and all she needs to do next is to look at some firewood, then stop what she was doing, and while sitting in front of the stove, she said casually: "What are you still learning? I can eat here, and I will let Xiaoqiao girl go and call Xuewen over later, there are a lot of cornmeal potstickers I made today, I will keep you full, how about it?"

Widow Zheng also followed Mrs. Li to the stove. She moved a small stool at random and sat beside her. It was clear at first glance that she planned to have a good talk with Mrs. Li. After hearing Mrs. Mrs. Li's invitation, she went along with the conversation. He continued: "I'm fine, I'm looking forward to staying with you to eat this delicious dinner! But this Xuewen and Xiaoqiao girl, I don't know if the two of them will be comfortable eating at the same table now. .”

Mrs. Li had just delivered some firewood to the stove, and she felt a little strange when she heard Widow Zheng's words, so she asked, "Why are you uncomfortable? Where do you start with this? Aren't these two people always on good terms?" ?The girl in our family talked about this "Brother Xuewen" all day long, which made her two brothers a little jealous! And it's not the first time for them to eat at the same table, why are they uncomfortable? No, these two children are having a quarrel? Didn’t they go out just now? The little bridge girl locked herself in the room as soon as she came back. Could it be that she really lost her temper with that child Xuewen! If this is the case, you But I have to talk to Xuewen carefully, and tell him not to get angry with this girl, this girl is spoiled by me, and her temper is getting better and better."

Widow Zheng laughed in her heart after listening to Li Shi talking so much, but she didn't stop her. After she finished speaking, she said, "Don't think about it wrongly, these two children are not at odds as you thought. I really like that girl of yours, it's not like you said, she has a bad temper!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li became more and more confused. There was nothing awkward about it, so why would it be uncomfortable for two people to eat at the same table? She looked at the smiling face of Widow Zheng and asked again: " What's going on? You're still playing tricks on me!"

Widow Zheng looked at Mrs. Li's puzzled expression, and her mood became more and more joyful. Soon your daughter will become a member of my family. The more she thinks about it, the happier she feels. Who made her really like Lin Xiaoqiao? This little girl grinned.

So, she didn't keep her secrets anymore, and said directly: "These two little people just went out to show their hearts to each other. I came here this time to talk to you about the engagement of these two children!"

Hearing this sentence, Mrs. Li couldn't react for a while, and even forgot to add firewood to the stove hole. It was Widow Zheng who saw the fire getting smaller and helped her stuff a handful of firewood into it.

Widow Zheng saw that Mrs. Li was also surprised and did not speak, so she smiled and said, "Quickly tell me something? Do you agree or disagree with the matter of these two children? Are you looking at it?" Come to my family to study literature?"

Mrs. Li has been circling this matter in her heart just now. It is really a coincidence. She just had such an idea a few days ago, wanting to betroth her daughter to that child Xuewen. It has not been a few days, his mother He really came here to mention this matter to himself. Could it be that these two children are really destined to be together?

Now listening to Widow Zheng's words, Mrs. Li came back to her senses and said, "What did you say? This kid Xuewen is outstanding in everything, which family is vying for him to be his son-in-law? I'll tell you the truth." , I thought of this a few days ago, but I was afraid that you didn't have that idea, so I stopped thinking and didn't talk to you about it."

When Widow Zheng heard this, she was even more happy, she took Li's hand affectionately, and said: "It seems that we two mothers want to go together! Now, the two children are also very concerned. With counting, our family Xuewen told me that he likes your little girl, and just now he also took Xiaoqiao girl out to ask her, Xuewen said that Xiaoqiao girl nodded her head!"

"That girl is only so old, how can she know these things? But Er Niu and I like Xuewen very much, and our two families have such a good relationship. Several children in my family like Xuewen. If the two If a child can become a child, it can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, and the relationship will definitely not be bad in the future." Li Shi said to Widow Zheng.

After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Widow Zheng nodded with a smile and echoed, "You're right. The two children grew up together. They know each other well, and they are familiar with each other's temperament. In the future, they will be able to get along more happily. Besides, Our two families are very close. If Xiaoqiao marries into my house, you will think of a daughter in the future. It’s not a matter of two steps, and you don’t have to always be reluctant to part with your daughter. Besides, my temper and nature, you should be too It's clear, I will definitely not be the kind of person who makes it difficult for my daughter-in-law in the future, not to mention, I really like that little bridge girl of yours from the bottom of my heart. This Xiaoqiao has become my daughter-in-law, I'm sure I will treat her like my own daughter, if you are not at ease, you can come over every day to have a look, our two families are just like one family."
