Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 103 Juggling (1)
Yuan Lu drank medicine before going to bed, and she was sweating a little.Mama Hua pressed several quilts for her, wrapping her tightly.

She felt hot when she fell asleep at night, and when she woke up, even her hair was wet.

People would come to pay New Year's greetings from the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Yuan Lu didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly got up to take a shower and wash her hair.After washing her hair, let the two maids help to wipe her hair with a dry cloth.

Mama Hua also had a busy day yesterday and she woke up late. When she woke up together and heard that Yuan Lu had already taken a bath, she persuaded her, "Why take a bath again? It's hot."

The room was smoked with charcoal, and Yuan Lu didn't feel cold. After wiping her hair for a long time, it was almost dry. The smell of sweat is so bad."

Mama Hua knew she couldn't persuade her, so she went up to help brush her hair.

As soon as the hour arrived, Yuan Lu changed her clothes, combed her hair in a bun, and went to the old lady's yard.

It wasn't long before the old lady got up, and she was too tired yesterday, if she hadn't had to deal with people who came to pay New Year's greetings today, she would have been lying in bed for a whole day.

"You got up so early?" The old lady looked at her face, "You look much better, have you recovered?"

Yuan Lu smiled and said, "Okay, the fever didn't start at first, but now the fever has receded."

The old lady nodded and said: "Then you stay in the house today, and drive them back when people come and talk for a while. Anyway, it's not that important."

Yuan Lu said yes.

The old lady suddenly remembered something, and said: "The family of the right servant of the Ministry of War also sent a message. Although I returned it, the Takata clan will probably come. He must still want to get his jade pendant back."

Yuan Lu followed with a smile and said, "Come here, there are too many people coming and going. She can still tear her face in front of other wives."

After talking for a while, Gao Lan and the three children came to greet the old lady one after another, and the whole family came to the old lady for breakfast.

Before and after the Chinese New Year, Yuan Lu didn't stick to others. People like cooks would take turns to go home for the New Year's rest. It was rare for the whole family to have dinner together.

Because Yuan Lu was taking care of the meals in the past few days, so she went to the old lady's small kitchen to take a look when she was eating.The one on duty is the old lady's cook who is good at red cases.

As soon as Yuan Lu saw the meat and vegetables, she lost her appetite, so she ordered someone to say, "Go to my yard and get the noodles and glutinous rice balls prepared yesterday, as well as pickled cucumbers and sour beans." Then she said to the cook : "You prepare less portion, and don't want anything that is too meaty."

Then she went to the front and asked them: "There are porridge, noodles and glutinous rice balls, what do you want to eat?"

Although the old lady has gotten used to a good life these years, her dining habits are still the same as before. She always drinks porridge in the morning and eats it with vegetables.If Cheng Guogong was there, he would just eat a bowl of dry rice in the morning.So there has never been so much variety.

The three children all said they wanted glutinous rice balls, Gao Lan said they wanted noodles, the old lady thought about it, and ordered a bowl of glutinous rice balls too.

Yuan Lu said: "The food is prepared in my yard. If you like it, I will ask the cook to make more. Whatever you and your children want to eat in the morning, just order what you want. There are glutinous rice balls, wontons, dumplings, and noodles. Even Hubing can be made.”

The glutinous rice balls are stuffed with sesame seeds, mixed with lard, sweet and soft, and easy to chew.Everyone ate up a bowl, but Brother Che was a little gluttonous, so he ate half a bowl more. Yuan Lu was afraid that he would not digest well, so she refused to let him eat the rest.
