Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life Chapter 70

  Chapter 70 Can that old stingy return a gift?

  Each grid has something, there are combs, earrings, silver hairpins, and bracelets. Qiao Mai couldn't help laughing.

  Turning around and bending down, he opened another box, which was full of cloth, the worst of which was muslin, and a few bolts of satin.

   Open another box, there are various colors of raspberry yarn in it, which can be used just in summer.

   Open another box, inside is a whole set of porcelain, brand new plates and bowls.

   Open another box, which is also porcelain, several sets of exquisite tea sets.

   Open another box, inside is a decoration, it means that everything she lacks at home has been prepared for her?

  The last box contains a whole box of paper, pens, and ink. Hey guys, I don't need to buy them for half a year.

  The things are not very expensive, but they are all needed by her family at present. Miss Wang is really interested.

  When the Yuan family came back, they saw him enter the house with a basket of things.

"This is?"

   "Mayor Qian gave it, saying it was a gift in return."

  Qiao Mai curled his lips, so can the old stingy return the gift? It's really not easy, I've been thinking about her prescription all day long.

  This old fox's nose and eyes are very poisonous, and he can actually see that she is different, so he has a good eye.

   Asked Yuan Jiaqi to deliver New Year's goods to shopkeeper Lu, and he came back empty-handed, all kinds of flower cakes, bean buns, steamed stuffed buns and the like.

  She is so busy, these things must be ordered from the bun shop.

   There is still half a fan of pork, which has not been boned, and she has to do it. Although Yuan Jiaqi is a man, she still has to do the bone removal.

   It's not that she underestimated him, he's really not good at force.

   Put everything that can be stored in the warehouse into the warehouse, and distribute new clothes to them, so that they can be folded and put away for the New Year.

  Actually, Yuan Jiaqi has bought them for the children, but it's not as good as Miss Wang's gift.

  After tidying everything up, Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi carried half a fan of pork to the kitchen, Qiao Mai picked the meat, and he watched and learned together.

   "I'll do the job in the future?"

   "Have you seen the meeting?"

   "Well, the first time is raw and the second time is familiar, how can you do it without doing it."

   "When it comes to using a knife, be careful, just don't hurt yourself."

  Seeing Mrs. Qiao's movements of picking meat, it was as simple as flowing clouds and flowing water. When she went to the warehouse to put the meat, he took a knife and tried it himself, but he felt that it was not the case.

  Knowing that I still have a long way to go, I made up my mind that I must do it by myself next time, and I can't let a woman do everything.

  Back to the kitchen, looking at two big elbows and a rib, Qiao Mai said.

   "Boil the water, I'll blanch these, and let's stew the ribs at night."

   "It's not easy to digest meat at night, right?"

   "There are hawthorn cakes and candied haws. It's the same if you let them go to bed later. They are all growing up, and they are not old people. As long as they don't drink cold water, they will be fine."

"Oh well."

   A pot full of meat, the aroma is constantly spreading out through the kitchen.

  Neighbors around could not stop drooling after smelling it. The smell of this meat is too fragrant, even more fragrant than the stewed meat shop.

  Chen Hao couldn't hold back, and regardless of Chen's objection, he came to Qiao's house, sat on the kang and coaxed Linger to play with the three children.

   "Why is your house so fragrant?"

  Chuan'er's little head twitched, and said proudly:

   "My mother stewed pork ribs and stewed elbows. Aunt Lu gave half a piece of pork. Mother knew we love meat, so she stewed it."

   "Your mother is so kind, my mother always controls me and won't let me eat meat."

  "You are fat, you should be in moderation, we are all thin, we need to make up."

  Fengyun gave Chen Hao a piece of dim sum, "Eat it, my mother bought it from Fucheng, it's famous, and it's delicious."

"Thanks!"

  After the meat was stewed, it was already dark, and as soon as a large pot of ribs was served, Mrs. Chen came, as if she knew about it.

  Qiao Mai said politely, and she sat down and had dinner with her.

   Dinner is meat, steamed buns, and a rice soup.

   Originally, the family was lively and having dinner without restraint, but because of the presence of Chen's mother and son, the Yuan family was very restrained.

  He simply found a big bowl, picked up a few ribs, took a steamed bun, filled a bowl of rice soup, and went back to his room to eat.

  Mr. Chen looked at the door, and sighed inwardly with some disappointment.

  Qiao Mai also seemed to feel something about Yuan Jiaqi's leaving her seat. She glanced at Chen Shi, just in time to bump into her and look towards the door.

  The disappointment in his eyes was fully seen by Qiao Mai.

  The Chen family is interested in the Yuan family? But what have you been doing? How long have you been here? Ordinarily, the Chen family and the Yuan family should have known each other a long time ago. How did you show it?

  Brother Yuan went back to the house, but he was actually avoiding the Chen family?

  Would you like a falling flower? A ruthless flowing water?

   Mrs. Chen is really going too far. She didn't care how much you were interested in Yuan Jiaqi before. If you like him, just go and confess, and secretly test yourself.

  Now the two have become a family. Although it is a fake couple, but in the name of looking for a child, you come here to eat and covet your fake husband-in-law. Isn't it a bit wicked?

   It seems that we should call her less often in the future, as the whole family will not be able to eat well.

  Chen realized that Qiao Mai was looking at her, so he quickly retracted his gaze, and smiled awkwardly at Qiao Mai.

  Qiao Mai withdrew his examining eyes, and ate his meal as if nothing had happened.

  She realized that she seemed too holy, just a neighbor, and asked her son to study with her, and often invited Mrs. Chen to dinner.

  She owes her? ah?

  Qiao Mai, who was quite happy at first, suddenly became tasteless in his mouth.

  She didn't like it, but she felt that it was a little late for her to discover this, and she felt stupid, as if someone sold it and counted the money.

   After dinner, Mrs. Chen took Chen Hao away and she didn't see her off. After Feng'er barbed the door, Yuan Jiaqi put his bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen and helped the children clean up.

   It's still early to go to bed now, the children went to Qiao Mai's room to play with Linger, and Yuan Jiaqi happened to come to see her for something.

   "Tomorrow it will be twenty-six. If you don't leave the stall, just stay at home and watch the children. I'll go out and buy some chicken, duck, fish, etc., and some New Year's goods such as red paper."

   "Well, you just go, is the money enough?"

   "Enough, you can't use it up every month. You often buy things at home and save a lot of money."

   "Then I won't give you any money. If you encounter some rare food, stock up more for the children."

"knew."

  Yuan Jiaqi opened his mouth to say something else, but he heard Qiao Mai say this.

"I know that Mrs. Chen is interested in you. At first, I only discipline Chen Hao. The child is innocent. After the new year, I bought a big house and a piece of land. I have a husband to teach you, so I will find a reason. Let her send the child to school, so she won't have to teach him in the future."

   "Thank you, Mrs. Qiao."

   "In the future, I will invite her to my house less, and try not to call her when I invite shopkeeper Lu."

   "I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

"There's nothing embarrassing about it. If she dares to covet you, she has already broken the friendship between me and her. Although the relationship between you and me is fake, she doesn't know it. She knows that she can't do it. If she insists on doing it, then It's just that I don't take me seriously in my heart, and I don't have to care about her."

   "I don't even know what to say."

   "What to do, just be open-minded."

  Yuan Jiaqi listened seriously and said, "What you said makes sense, I went back to the house to copy the books."

  He left, Qiao Mai smiled as soon as he turned his face, and said to the children.

   "After eating so much meat, take some hawthorn cakes to eat, to digest food, drink some hot water, can't you go to bed so early?"

   "Mother, you want to eat something too, can you tell us a story later?"

   "Okay, shall I tell you a story about Wu Song fighting a tiger tonight?"

"Yeah."

  As long as she is not tired, she will interact with the children occasionally in the evening.

  In fact, she is not much older than the children, and when communicating with them, there is no generation gap at all, and they get along very well.
