Mrs. Li was worried that Gu Jingcheng was being stupid and said unpleasant things to Su Xiaomu. Although she felt sorry for her son, the daughter-in-law she bought was so delicate and sweet that she couldn't bear to let her be wasted.

"Oh, why do you two suddenly want to go up the mountain to pick fruits? Look, Xiaomu, your clothes are still torn by branches."

She took the initiative to take Su Xiaomu's hand, looked at her scratched clothes and joked: "Why don't you let Jingcheng protect you? Fortunately, it was just a cut on the clothes. If you were accidentally cut, your hand would bleed."

, then you will have to endure hardship."

Su Xiaomu's skin looked white and tender, even more dewy than a girl like Gu Ruotong.

"My husband is protecting me, it's all because of my own carelessness, mother, don't blame my husband."

Su Xiaomu lowered his eyebrows shyly.

Gu Jingcheng knew that she had always behaved well in front of Mr. Li, so he didn't say much. He said a few words to Ms. Li and then went back by himself.

This gave the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a chance to talk alone.

"Tell your mother, Jingcheng didn't have a good attitude towards you just now at the dinner table. Why is he willing to help you get something so quickly?"

Can she still keep count of the children she gave birth to?

Although Jingcheng has always been a cold-faced and warm-hearted child, he has never looked down upon people he doesn't like.

"I didn't say anything... I just told my husband that I really wanted to be good to him and live a good life with him."

A thin red cloud appeared on Su Xiaomu's face, and then she showed a very gentle smile. Two red dimples were slightly sunken on her cheeks. She wiggled her fingers shyly and kept rubbing her feet on the ground.

"Actually...my husband is actually quite good."

"Of course Jingcheng is fine. In fact, my mother doesn't ask for much now. I just hope that you two can live a good life.

You are a good girl, but Jingcheng and you are still not familiar with each other now. As time goes by, he will see how good you are and will definitely be willing to live a good life with you."

Ms. Li is still waiting to have her grandson. When Jingcheng becomes a father, her life will be easier and easier.

"I hope so too, I have to live a good life."

The smile on Su Xiaomu's face became brighter and brighter, and her round eyes looked at Mr. Li, which seemed to be filled with longing.

"There's nothing else to do today. Take this money and buy some tofu. Let's change the taste tonight. Jingcheng loves tofu the most."

Seeing this, Mrs. Li was relieved.

He counted five copper plates from his purse and handed them to Su Xiaomu: "Let's see your craftsmanship tonight."

"Okay, mother, just wait. I will make sure my husband has a meal he likes."

Su Xiaomu specially picked up the stories that Mr. Li liked to hear.

The tofu seller in the village is not far from them. Five copper coins can buy two pieces. One piece is used to make minced tofu with rice, and the other piece is used to fry it.

Thinking about the smooth and tender tofu and minced meat mixed with rice, Su Xiaomu's mouth watered with greed.

She went home with two pieces of tofu. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Gu Ruotong sitting under the tree with Chen and learning to embroider handkerchiefs.

"Second sister-in-law is teaching Ruotong how to embroider handkerchiefs. Let me have a look. I can't learn such a delicate craft."

Su Xiaomu came up to Mrs. Chen and took a closer look, and saw that there were many embroidered handkerchiefs in the basket next to her. The stitching on each one was very neat and the style was good.

Not to mention, although the second sister-in-law is a bit aggressive at age 1, she is still pretty good at this craft!

"Xiaomu, my second sister-in-law wants to ask you for help with something."

Su Xiaomu's face was full of smiles, and her expression was a little soft and coquettish when she spoke: "Second sister-in-law, do you want me to help you sell handkerchiefs?"

Su Xiaomu's eyes followed the movements of Chen's hands. She said that she had not been to many cloth shops in the city.

"It's also that your second brother hasn't been free these days and can't go into the city. I have to raise a few children at home, so I thought that if you were free, you could help me sell Xu's Cloth Shop in the city.

Tell me your second brother's name, she knows how to sell this thing."

Even though Mrs. Chen is usually not easy to get along with, she still had a bit of embarrassment on her face when she asked Su Xiaomu for help.

"Second sister-in-law won't let you help in vain. If there is any need for help at home, just tell sister-in-law."

"Then just wait until you pack your things and bring them to me."

After discussing some details of selling handkerchiefs with Mrs. Chen, Su Xiaomu took the purchased tofu to cook.

Pan-fried tofu is one of the simplest dishes she has ever made.

Slice the tender tofu, heat the lard in a pan and fry the tofu until both sides are golden brown, then add the wild onions and add in fragrant aroma.

She poured in the sauce that had been prepared in advance, covered the pot and simmered over low heat for five minutes, then poured the prepared starch water into the pot, thickened the fragrant tofu and took it out of the pot.

She made another dish of minced tofu, stewed it in a pot of wild vegetable broth, and when it was served to the table, the Gu family's eyes widened again.

"Auntie, you are so awesome. This is the first time I have seen someone make tofu like this."

The whole yard was filled with the aroma of fried tofu and meat, and Gu Ruochen had already started to salivate.

When Mrs. Li saw it, she patted his head angrily, and then took care of the family and put them on the table to eat.

Of course the first chopstick was given to Gu Jingcheng.

But after Li took a bite of tofu, he immediately looked at Su Xiaomu with wide eyes: "Did you really make this?"

"My mother taught me it at home. I heard that I learned it from a restaurant chef in the city."

Su Xiaomu spared no effort to put gold on the face of the original owner's mother.

Anyway, the two villages were far apart, so it was impossible for Li to go over there and ask if this was the case.

"Your mother is a capable person, and you are also up to par. You can learn everything well."

After the family finished their meal quietly, Mrs. Li called Su Xiaomu aside to talk and did not let her wash the dishes.

"The third child is going to work in the fields with his father in the afternoon. You can boil some eggs for them and take them with them."

Mrs. Li quietly gave Su Xiaomu the key to the kitchen cabinet. She lowered her voice and said, "Bring one more for the third child."

"Okay, but mom, do we have tea at home?"

Speaking of white water eggs, Su Xiaomu really wants to eat tea eggs.

"Yes, there is, but it's all old tea from a few years ago. Why do you want to drink it?"

Mrs. Li stared at Su Xiaomu suspiciously. The little girl didn't do much work at home, and the weather wasn't hot either. She still had to drink tea to relieve the heat.

She thought that she might be wasting food, and her face immediately fell: "You are not allowed to do this."

"How dare I do this? Food is so precious now, and I don't dare to waste it."

Su Xiaomu shook Mrs. Li's arm coquettishly. Her voice was soft and sweet, and her appearance was cute and cute. Her well-behaved appearance made Mrs. Li's temper softer.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Mom, I'm thinking of making a novel way to eat it.

Let's buy some more eggs. My husband is studying so hard every day and has to help with farm chores when he comes home. I'm worried that he will be exhausted. Eating an egg once in a while is useless, so he has to replenish it every day.

The eggs cooked using my method are delicious and not greasy."
