Chapter 2244 Out of State (fourth update)
Seeing Zhao Liuer standing in front of him, Li Xiu felt a little panicked.
"What about that, third brother and sister, when did you come here?" Li Xiuxin asked.
Zhao Liu'er smiled and blinked her big, smart eyes, "Sister-in-law, I just came here. When I came in, I saw you standing here distracted."
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Zhao Liuer asked with a smile.
Since she married into the old Yang family, she must be a good wife and take care of her relationship with her sister-in-law.
We cannot let brother Yongzhi get stuck in the middle like Chen Jinhong did before.
With this idea in mind, Zhao Liuer then asked Li Xiuxin: "Sister-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go back to the house and lie down for a while. I will cook your lunch."
See Looking at Zhao Liuer's face in front of her that seemed to be sincere, Li Xiuxin showed a grateful smile on her face.
She then shook her head: "Thank you, my third brother and sister, for your concern. I'm fine. I just got a little distracted thinking about things."
"Oh, since you're fine, that's good." Zhao Liuer bent his eyes and smiled.
"Sister-in-law, it's almost time. Let's get started. We had porridge in the morning. I guess they are going to be hungry now." Zhao Liuer said.
Li Xiuxin nodded, and the two sisters went their separate ways.
At this moment, Cao Bamei also came in with a big belly and an apron in her hand.
For the past two days, the three sisters-in-law have been cooking together.
In order to take care of the pregnant Cao Bamei, Li Xiuxin and Zhao Liuer both asked Cao Bamei to sit at the entrance of the stove and stuff firewood.
Then Li Xiuxin is the sister-in-law, responsible for cooking, cooking and cutting vegetables.
Zhao Liuer is responsible for washing vegetables, peeling garlic, and peeling old ginger.
The water in the earthen pot on the pot table boiled, so she went to get other teapots and thermal jars to fill the hot water.
Send them to the east room of Lao Yangtou and Tan to make tea for them, or wash their faces and feet.
In addition, they will also deliver to the Jin family, Yang Yongxian, Yang Yongjin, her and Yang Yongzhi's own houses, and Yang Yongqing's house.
I am also so busy that my feet never touch the ground.
But today, Zhao Liuer and Cao Bamei were both busy at their posts in an orderly manner, but the sister-in-law Li Xiuxin, who was in charge of the spoon, was obviously not in the best condition.
No, when I put a bowl of white radish into the pot, I discovered that there was no oil squeezed out of the bottom of the pot at all. The radish was thrown away when the iron in the pot was red.
Then when I was cooking the cabbage, I forgot to add salt.
Later, when cooking the tofu skin sent by Yang Ruoqing's family, he clearly put a spoonful of salt in it and then scooped out the salt.
Fortunately, Zhao Liuer saw it with sharp eyes and quickly stopped Li Xiuxin.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you so obsessed with cooking?" Zhao Liu'er couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Sister-in-law, I think you should go back to the house and rest for a while. Let me take care of the spoon today!" Zhao Liuer said again, with worry on his face.
"I..."
Li Xiuxin raised her hand and stroked her cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.
In Zaobo, Cao Bamei has also been paying attention to Li Xiuxin.
At this moment, after hearing Zhao Liuer’s confession, Cao Bamei also spoke.
"Sister-in-law, Liu'er and I have the same idea." Cao Bamei said.
“With your absent-minded look, you probably won’t be able to cook the food well, and it won’t be good if it burns later.”
"You'd better go back to the house first and sort out your own affairs first. It's just a meal. With me and my third brother and sister here, I guarantee that everything will be fine." Cao Bamei said. Li Xiuxin looked at the two sisters-in-law. On their faces and eyes, Li Xiuxin did not feel the feeling of being squeezed.
On the contrary, what she felt was the concern of these two people.
"Okay, then I'll go back and lie down for a while. I'll have to work hard on you two for this midday meal." Li Xiu said to her heart.
Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer both laughed and shook their heads.
After Li Xiuxin left, Zhao Liuer took the spatula and started stir-frying the vegetables.
Zhao Liuer was born and raised in the county and is familiar with everything in the county.
Although, she, a poor girl, couldn't afford many things in many places, and she couldn't afford to eat in restaurants.
But she also knew it because she was a local who hung around there.
As for Cao Bamei, because she has been staying in the county with Yang Yongjin this year, she has heard more or less about the county, some temples around the county, and other places to play.
So, these two people got together, and there were really a lot of topics to talk about.
Once these women are chatting happily, the things they are doing will progress very quickly.
Unknowingly, lunch was ready by noon.
Zhao Liu'er said to Cao Bamei: "Second sister-in-law, I stewed a bowl of sesame oil and egg custard for Fu'er and Hong'er each, and made a poached egg for Xiu Xiu."
" Because yesterday I watched my sister-in-law make egg custard, and Xiu Xiu didn’t seem to like it very much, so I’m going to give her a change of taste today.”
When Cao Bamei heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed across her face.
"Third brother and sister, you are thoughtful and have noticed all these little things." Cao Bamei said.
"My family, Xiuxiu, ate too much egg custard when I was a child. I guess I got tired of it. When I grow up, I won't touch it at all." Cao Bamei said.
Zhao Liuer smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, if you say this outside, you will be hated by people."
"Eggs cost a penny each in Wa City, how many people have their own eggs? I can't bear to eat the eggs, so I sell them for oil and salt," Zhao Liu'er said.
Cao Bamei was startled for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, I'm telling the truth, but I don't mean to go off the cliff at all." Cao Bamei said.
“When Xiuxiu was born, I was in poor health. When Xiuxiu was born, she was also very thin and sick every three days.”
“I can’t be cold, I can’t be hot. The doctor said that the child is in poor health and needs to be replenished. "
"It's a child's home, and it can't be replenished. The best thing is to let her eat eggs."
"In addition, your second brother was doing shopping at a restaurant in town at that time, so when he didn't go back to buy ingredients, he would buy dozens more eggs for Xiu Xiu to eat according to the purchase price."
"Actually, that's it. Your second brother and I are not rich landlords. Look, we have been married for several years. We will have two children soon, and we still can't afford to build a new house!" Cao Bamei said.
Zhao Liuer smiled sweetly and said: "Second sister-in-law, brother Yongzhi has told me about the matter between you and second brother."
"You guys haven't been able to live together in these years. "To put it bluntly, I was dragged down by our big house when I moved to a new house." Zhao Liu'er said.
Cao Bamei said: "You can't say that..."
Zhao Liuer said: "That's how it is. The money you earn is often used to support the family and support your mother. Hong'er and Fu'er are almost all raised by you."
"And Yongzhi before. The carpentry shop he opened, you paid twenty taels of silver in one go to help him open the shop, and you didn’t charge interest!"< br>
“Although the shop was in ruins in the end, and the remaining few taels of silver were taken away by Chen Jinhong.”
“But I am still very grateful to you and my second brother, second sister-in-law. I will return the twenty taels of silver to you together with Brother Yongzhi!”
