Chapter 130 A family must be neat and tidy
Ye Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen alone. Looking at the neatly arranged dishes, she couldn't help but drool.
Braised tofu, braised yellow croaker, steamed egg with minced meat, crispy duck, bamboo shoots and braised fern, braised pig's trotters...
"Wow—Ah Jing, you're amazing!" She gave a thumbs up, praising him endlessly.
He Jing was ladling crystal shrimp into a bowl, then picked up a shrimp with clean chopsticks, gently blew on it to cool it, and held it to Ye Xiaoxiao's lips:
"Try it and see if it suits your taste?"
The tiny shrimp are incredibly fragrant, translucent, and resemble pearls.
Ye Xiaoxiao took a bite; it was soft yet crisp, and incredibly fragrant.
"Ah Jing, I think I can eat three big bowls!"
At that moment, four heads were lined up neatly outside the kitchen window, secretly peeking in.
"Brother, I thought our family's chef was pretty good, but now it seems he's just so-so."
"Little sister, don't underestimate our cook. There's a reason your brother is so fat. Besides, we haven't even tasted He Jing's cooking yet, so it's too early to draw conclusions."
"Bai Qing, why don't you take some time to learn how to cook?"
"Manager, you're still going strong despite your age, you're more suitable. I'll just do odd jobs and bookkeeping."
"But then again, the young couple seems quite affectionate."
"right--"
"I think so."
"That's right, that's right."
Sitting in the courtyard, Zhao Yun'er watched the four people peeking with their butts sticking out, whispering to each other from time to time, and couldn't help but find the scene a bit comical.
When Ye Xiaoxiao turned around, she caught a glimpse of several round heads perched on the windowsill.
She deliberately carried two dishes around to the window, passing right in front of them, and everyone felt a fragrant aroma wafting over.
Bai Qing hurriedly ran to clear the table, while everyone else rushed into the kitchen to bring out the dishes. They acted as if they hadn't eaten for three days.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, chatted for a while, and then parted ways.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't invite those little beggars today, afraid they would feel uncomfortable; she'll invite them separately next time.
......
The next day, Ye Xiaoxiao's family prepared to go out to town to buy some things for the holiday.
Inside the room, Mother He looked down at her clothes, tugged at them, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Xiao Xiao, you young people should go by yourselves. I won't join in the fun. I'm too old to walk, and I'm afraid I'll spoil your fun if I go."
Ye Xiaoxiao joked, "Mom, I'll give you a mirror on the street later, and then you'll know how radiant you are."
"You're such a sweet talker, girl. I haven't been out in ages, so you guys go ahead."
He Wuyang chimed in, "Mother, my sister-in-law is absolutely right. In the whole village, my mother is the most beautiful."
“Mother, those sachets sold well yesterday. You need to have a good eye and go to the fabric shop to select some materials yourself. I’m not good at embroidery and I’m afraid I won’t choose well.”
Only after hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's words did He's mother agree.
"Alright, I'll go with you then. It's been a long time since I've been to see anything exciting."
Mother He sighed softly, and a memory of shopping many years ago suddenly flashed through her mind, filling her with emotion.
Forget it, let's not dwell on those unlucky people while we're enjoying our time together. What a downer!
As the group went outside, they saw He Wuyou carrying Xiao Hei to them and asking:
"Sister-in-law, can we take Xiao Hei with us? It's so pitiful, all alone at home!"
Looking into Xiao Hei's bright, black eyes, he already foresaw that if he didn't take it with him, it would sit alone in the yard, guarding the empty house, feeling depressed and unhappy.
So pathetic!
"Okay! Let's bring it too, so the whole family can be together!"
He Wuyou cheered with joy, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and quickly ran over to share it with Lu Shi'an.
......
Qifeng Town is even more lively today than it was yesterday.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, busy at the same time enjoying this special day.
Both sides of the street were lined with various stalls.
There were vendors selling zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), mugwort and calamus, sugar figurines... and also some street artisans making things on the spot, weaving cages, sculpting clay figures, carving small wooden figurines...
The food stalls were also exceptionally lively, with the fragrant candied hawthorns, sesame cakes, sweet cakes, tofu pudding, and other treats attracting the attention of countless people.
Ye Xiaoxiao bought a colorful woven bracelet for everyone so they could experience the Dragon Boat Festival atmosphere.
The children were the most excited, enjoying snacks and watching the street performers.
The group arrived at a stinky tofu stall.
Who wants to eat stinky tofu?
