The happy little days of the Ye family

In the kitchen, Li Guoer was holding a heavy kitchen knife as if for fun, and chopped a few lotus root sections into pieces in a few strokes.

Then chop the fat and lean pork belly into pieces, and mix it with the lotus root foam just now for seasoning.

At this time, Ye Xilin came in happily carrying a freshly treated pheasant.

"The pheasants in winter are very fat. Just the chicken fat alone can be enough to cook for several days."

Li Guoer took the pheasant. It was indeed quite fat, so it was perfect for braised in brown sauce.

With the knife raised and lowered, the intact pheasant was quickly chopped into small, uniform pieces.

This pheasant is quite big, and Li Guoer plans to braise half of it and use it to make soup.

Li Guoer plans to fry more lotus root balls and send some to nearby neighbors to build relationships.

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. She has been married to the Ye family for a few days, so it is time to get to know her.

But Li Guoer felt uncomfortable going to deliver things by herself, so she planned to bring the eloquent Ye Xilin with her.

"I'll make more meatballs later. My husband, please accompany me to deliver some to the neighbors. I'll recognize them by the way."

"Okay, there are several families near my house who are very easy to get along with. I will introduce them to you when I go there. You can interact with them more in the future."

The neighbors nearby have been friends with the Ye family for more than ten years, and they get along like family members. Usually if someone has delicious food at home, they will send some to others.

Seeing that Ye Xilin agreed, Li Guoer speeded up her movements. There were a lot of dishes prepared today.

Xiaoqi and two dogs were chasing each other in the yard, and heard the little guy's laughter.

Seeing the plate full of minced lotus root meat, Li Guoer planned to make another lotus root meat pie.

Children like this dish the most, and Chenchen from the Tang family should also be able to eat some.

Li Guoer planned to call Ye Qingqing and his wife over for dinner.

"Xilin, go to the Tang family and ask your sister and the others to stop cooking and come over to have dinner together later."

"Okay, I'll go over now. Uncle Tang has gone to town to drive the bullock cart to attract customers. Just cook for two more people."

When Ye Xilin walked out, he was stopped by Ye Mu.

"Aren't you cooking in the kitchen? Where are you going?"

"Guo'er asked me to call my sister and her family over for dinner."

Ye Xilin smiled, essentially helping his wife to gain favor in front of her family.

This kid was born by himself, and he knew what he was going to do when he raised his butt.

"Okay, I don't know about your little thoughts. I'm not one of those evil mothers-in-law who likes to torment their wives."

"Mom is the best mother-in-law in the world."

"Gungun, hurry up and call your sister, don't put your hat on me here."

After a while, Ye Xilin came back with Ye Qingqing, followed by Tang Xiaojing who was holding his son.

"Aunt~, Chenchen~."

Xiao Qi, who was still chasing sweet potatoes all over the yard, saw Ye Qingqing coming and ran over with cheerful little steps.

Tang Xiaojing saw that the little guy ignored him and deliberately teased him with a straight face.

"Xiao Qi only has eyes for her aunt and brother. Can't you see that my uncle is such a big man? It's a shame I brought you candy."

As soon as he heard that there was candy, his aunt no longer tasted sweet. The little guy quickly hugged Tang Xiaojing's thigh and raised his head to look at him expectantly.

"Uncle~, Xiaoqi misses you so much~"

Tang Xiaojing looked at this clever little guy and was very happy: "You little greedy cat, you just want the candy in my pocket!"

Xiao Qi nodded sincerely, "Of course, only fools don't like sweets."

If she didn't really like eating sweets, Xiaoqi wouldn't have given her sister the nickname Tangtang.

Tang Xiaojing, who doesn't like sweets: "..."

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing hadn't taken out the candy yet, Xiao Qi became a little anxious. She stood on tiptoes and pulled at his sleeves with her hands.

"Uncle, Tangtang~"

Tang Xiaojing saw that the little guy was looking at him whether he wanted to cry or not. He was afraid that he would be beaten if he made him cry, so he quickly took out a candy.

Xiao Qi took the candy and couldn't wait to stuff it into her mouth, saying vaguely:

"Thank you, uncle!"

When Chenchen saw that no one was paying attention to him, he waved his little hand to say hello to Xiaoqi.

"Ah...brother..."

Xiaoqi ate the candy and said coquettishly: "Chenchen can't eat candy yet~ You have to grow up before you can eat it."

Chenchen is still young, and he still doesn’t know what sugar is.

The little guy was very happy to see Xiao Qi. He jumped in Tang Xiaojing's arms and wanted to go down and play with his little brother.

Tang Xiaojing suddenly became jealous when he saw that his boy was so happy to see Xiao Qi and even called him brother without coaxing him.

When it came to calling people, Tang Xiaojing became angry.

Chenchen, this little bastard, the whole family knew how to shout. Although the tone was weird, he still knew how to shout, but he just couldn't call him daddy. He was so angry that he jumped up and down.

But this little guy was still very naughty and asked him not to shout when he called him daddy. When Tang Xiaojing asked him to call him daddy, he nodded with a serious look on his face.

Tang Xiaojing felt that this guy must have done it on purpose. He could understand clearly, but he was just trying to trick him.

Ye Qingqing took out the reed mat that Xiao Qi had used before and spread it on the ground for Chenchen and Xiao Qi to play in it.

Tang Xiaojing saw that he had nothing to do, so he picked up his ax and chopped firewood hard.

Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye were very pleased to see him working so hard. This son-in-law/grandson-in-law was really right.

Ye Qingqing heard from her mother that Ye Xilin and his wife were cooking in the kitchen, so she quietly came to the kitchen door and cautiously peeked inside.

I saw the young couple, one lighting the fire and the other holding the spoon. They didn't forget to take a sneak peek while they were working, and they looked quite warm.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this young man is so slimy." After saying that, he walked away quietly.

Li Guoer often went hunting in the mountains and was very vigilant. In fact, she had long known that Ye Qingqing was hiding aside and peeking.

Someone was watching, and Li Guoer felt very uncomfortable while working. Fortunately, he watched for a while and then left, otherwise she would have chased them away.

She didn't need her help in the kitchen, so Ye Qingqing simply went over to help Ye Mu make lotus root starch.

There was no lotus root grown at home before. In Ye Qingqing's memory, the family only made lotus root starch once.

But after adding honey, it was sweet and delicious, and Ye Qingqing still remembered it.

Moreover, she heard from Tang Xiaojing that lotus root powder has the effects of nourishing blood and replenishing qi, laxative and diarrhea, and strengthening the spleen and appetizing. Drinking it is good for women's health.

There are still lotus roots at home that have not been dug. She plans to learn from Ye Mu and make two cans of lotus root starch later.

Ye Qingqing brought a small bench over and washed the lotus roots with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Mom, please teach me how to make lotus root starch. Tomorrow we have to dig lotus roots at home. I plan to make some lotus root starch too."

Mother Ye didn't hide anything secretly. She looked at her daughter with a smile and said:

"Okay, although this lotus root starch is a little troublesome, it's not difficult to make. You can learn it after following it today."

"okay!"
