Chapter 91 - 91 Eldest Uncle Stuck
91 Eldest Uncle Stuck
Good that they were not here! Qiao Xuan took a rest and after a while started to work in the kitchen.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao helped alongside.
Ms. Xu was very happy to see Qiao Xuan making some snacks for her children. She offered to help too, but Qiao Xuan told her to leave.
During dinner, dishes including pan-fried lamb chops, stewed radish soup, pan-fried sweet and sour hoof, stir-fried yam slices, stir-fried lettuce, and cold spinach were served. The view made people drool.
The BBQ pork was made as well. But it was stored in the kitchen for the next night.
When Elder Uncle saw the table full of meat, he could not help but gasp.
Before he could say anything, Qiao Xuan smiled. “Don’t worry, Father, all this was bought with my dowry, not with the shared money. My husband has been studying hard, and our brothers and sisters-in-law are working hard too. We should eat something good.”
Eldest Uncle was stuck with words, and said nothing more.
He owed 2 liang to his daughter-in-law and could not possibly ask her to share the food with the other sections of the family.
Eldest Uncle answered briefly and said, “But this is too much for us…”
He meant that they could give the rest to the second and the third sections of the family, because their children were starving too.
Shao Sanlang pursed his lips. “We are all grownups. Of course we will be able to finish it all. Dad, the dishes taste great, I will make sure I finish them all!”
Qiao Xuan chuckled.
Seeing that Qiao Xuan had not yet realized what he meant, Eldest Uncle snapped at his son and said, “You only know how to eat! You are getting married soon!”
Ms. Fang rolled her eyes. “Just sit down and eat!”
Eldest Uncle fell silent.
The lamb chops tasted crisp on the top and the hoofs were not tough to chew. A bite of both of them tasted great. They were soft, sweet and sour at the same time, with a really fragrant taste of the broth.
The wok dishes and cold-served spinach were good for appet.i.te.
After the whole family was full, they spoke highly of the dishes and did not spare even the broth.
Shao Sanlang looked at Elder Uncle, as he poured the broth over the rice. “Dad, look, I knew I could finish it!”
Eldest Uncle responded in a dark manner. “Just shut up!”
Qiao Xuan tried to hold down her laughter.
Back in the bedroom, Shao Yunduan said to Qiao Xuan,. “After the Dragon Boat Festival, we will have a compet.i.tion with dragon boats. The teachers of the school asked me to join. Do you want to watch the game?”
Qiao Xuan’s eyes brightened. “Is it fun?”
Shao Yunduan felt slightly delighted. He knew that it would be interesting for her. He nodded. “Yes, and it is going to be festive!”
“Okay!” Qiao Xuan smiled. “I will be there!”
She had never seen such a show before, and would definitely like to watch it.
Moreover, she could make a thorough observation of the local area.
Shao Yunduan smiled. “Ok, it is settled then.”
“Yes!”
Following day, Qiao Xuan thought of the batch of watermelon seeds.
She struck her head. She should not have forgotten about this. She will take Qi and Taotao to the mountain, and bring some watermelon seeds to the yard.
There were many watermelon seeds there, and with the help of her superpower, she was going to make the fruits grow fantastically in her field.
The watermelons would grow to be numerous, large in size, round and sweet too!
