70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

My heart tightened slightly.

Xiaoya is from the city, so if you teach her how to cook, she'll definitely find cooking at home much easier once she masters the tricks.

On the third day after returning to his parents' home, Zhou Qingwen had Yu Yalan learn to cook a few dishes from him.

There are eight dishes in total: garlic lettuce, braised pork, chicken stew with shiitake mushrooms, scrambled eggs with scallions, cucumber salad, wood ear salad, pig's ear salad, and pig liver salad.

It was all done under Zhou Qingwen's guidance.

Yu Yalan was very talented; she could learn anything quickly.

Zhou Qingwen then told her that he would cook some dishes for his family members tomorrow so they could taste her cooking skills!

Yu Yalan readily agreed.

She had no idea that Zhou Qingwen wanted her to just cook at home.

The outdoor laborers were toiling in the fields, their faces to the earth and their backs to the sky, exhausted and getting very tanned.

Yu Yalan was born with fair and delicate skin, and if she could take good care of it, it would be very pleasing to the eye.

Just look at my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law; after working for several years, their skin has become noticeably dark.

Two days later, Liu Yue'e asked her three daughters-in-law to cook three dishes each, while Liu Yue'e cooked one dish.

There were plenty of dishes that day.

There was braised pork, made by Liu Yue'e.

My sister-in-law, Zhang Huayu, made a dish of braised tofu with scallions, a dish of scrambled eggs with cucumber, and a dish of stir-fried pickled cabbage.

Second sister-in-law He Xiangxiang made a cold noodle dish, a garlic-flavored bok choy dish, and a steamed egg custard dish.

Zhou Qingwen's wife, the third son, Yu Yalan, made a dish of stir-fried pork kidneys with green peppers, a dish of stir-fried pork intestines with dried chili and pickled cabbage, and a dish of stir-fried rabbit meat with pickled bamboo shoots.

The difference in quality was immediately apparent when the dishes prepared by the three daughters-in-law were served!

After everyone finished eating, they voted for their favorite dish.

In the end, Yu Yalan received the most votes from her entire family!

Therefore, Yu Yalan became a woman who stayed at home cooking.

Yu Yalan was happy, but she also felt a little nervous. She was able to get the job of cooking at home because Zhou Qingwen had been giving her extra cooking training these past few days.

These are the dishes that my sister-in-law makes, and Yu Yalan can also make.

Yu Yalan can also cook the dishes that her second sister-in-law makes.

However, the dishes Yu Yalan makes are exceptionally delicious and fragrant.

Even the vegetable soup was mixed with rice and eaten by the eldest brother.

Zhou Qingwen tried to mix the rice but couldn't get any soup.

"Honey, there's not enough broth, I didn't mix it into my rice."

The older brother laughed and said, "You were too slow!"

My second brother chuckled and said, "Luckily, I mixed the rice with the sauce at the beginning. It's so delicious with rice!"

Zhou Qingwen laughed and said, "Hmph! Next time I'll have my wife make me a bowl separately!"

The eldest and second eldest brothers laughed and said, "No way! You're asking for a beating!"

Zhou Feitian laughed and said, "Eldest son's wife and second son's wife, do you two have any objections to this work arrangement?"

The eldest sister-in-law looked at it and said, "The dishes my third sister-in-law made smell so good, I have no objections."

Second Sister-in-law laughed and said, "If it's about being able to eat Third Sister-in-law's cooking every day, how could I dare to have any objections? I wholeheartedly agree."

The eldest sister-in-law truly couldn't cook the kind of dishes that Yu Yalan made.

Cooking is a real test of one's abilities.

Even with the same ingredients, they all taste different.

Not everyone can cook a good meal.

The second sister-in-law laughed and said, "I'll have to learn a lot from my third sister-in-law then; she's really hiding her talents!"

Liu Yue'e happily agreed.

After that, Yu Yalan was responsible for cleaning the living areas of the family, such as the kitchen, living room, small yard, front and back yards, and outside the door. She also washed the family's clothes, and of course, their underwear was washed separately.

Although Yu Yalan's work doesn't seem like heavy work, it still takes a lot of time.

Zhou Qingwen immediately said, "I'll buy you a bicycle later, so you can ride it to do your laundry, which will save you time."

Also, when going to the market, you can ride a bicycle there to buy more seasonings and other vegetables to vary your meals.

Zhou Feitian tensed slightly and said, "Won't a bicycle cost too much?"

"Dad, Mom, I've wanted to buy this bicycle for a while now. I just need to get a bicycle voucher so I can buy one as soon as I get it."

Zhou Feitian swallowed slightly: "Then you make the arrangements, I'll prepare the money for you."

"No need, Dad, I'll pay for the bicycle myself."

The older sister-in-law looked on with envy and swallowed hard; her family could afford one too.

However, they couldn't bear to part with the money.

This family will eventually split up.

If they spend the 450 yuan they have, they will never have the chance to separate from the family again.

Moreover, it seems that everyone in the family has already divided up the work; she and her second brother and sister-in-law are the ones who have to work in the fields.

There's nothing I can do; my cooking is too ordinary to be presentable.

They don't know how to cook meat and vegetables, and they don't cook them well.

Zhang Huayu's mind started racing; they decided not to buy a bicycle for the time being.

When I go back to my parents' home, I can borrow my third brother's bicycle.

We're family, so it's okay to borrow it for a while.

My second sister-in-law had similar thoughts.

Liu Yue'e then said, "Don't borrow the bicycle that the third brother's family bought all the time. It's for Xiaoya to use when she goes to the market and to get to the river to wash clothes."

Both the eldest and second sisters-in-law swallowed hard.

That's it, I should abandon the idea of ​​borrowing a bicycle as soon as possible!

Zhou Qingwen then said, "Our family members live in the cowshed, so it's very close to go back. We mostly use bicycles to go to the market and when washing clothes. If my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law want to borrow them when they go back to their parents' home, they can just say so in advance. I don't mind."

Liu Yue'e then said, "I'm making this clear: if you borrow a bicycle and damage it, you'll have to pay for a new one for Lao San's family!"

Liu Yue'e was not biased.

And that's human nature!

If you don't take care of borrowed items, you can easily damage the bicycle.

Liu Yue'e never touched a bicycle in her entire life, but she understood a great deal about human nature!

She knew exactly what her eldest and second daughters-in-law were thinking!

The sister-in-law immediately said, "I won't lend it."

The second sister-in-law laughed and tugged at the second brother's hand, saying, "Shouldn't we borrow it too?"

"No, I won't lend it."

The second brother said nervously.

The older sister-in-law lowered her head and rolled her eyes.

This mother-in-law is clearly not letting them borrow the third son's bicycle.

Isn't this clearly protecting the third son's family?

Yu Yalan glanced at Zhou Qingwen; this was to deal with the unpleasant things at home in advance.

If you want your family to live in harmony, you can't give these people an opportunity to take advantage of you.

After all, my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are family.

When I go back to my parents' home, I can lend them my bicycle.

But what if they break the bicycle?

Or perhaps they simply lost their bicycle?

Who should bear the loss?

Zhou Qingwen's mother had long ago nipped the eldest son's and second son's families in the bud in the bud in the bud in the bud when they wanted to borrow the car.

If they want to borrow a bicycle and can't return it in its original condition, then they have to pay for a new bicycle!

As soon as she said this, Liu Yue'e firmly established her authority as a mother-in-law.

Zhou Feitian agreed, saying, "Your mother-in-law is right. If you want a bicycle, you should buy it yourself. If you don't have one, you should walk to your parents' home."

It was only then that the eldest sister-in-law realized that their entire savings of 450 yuan were earned by the third son, Zhou Qingwen!
