Chapter 17: Eyes of the Heart

"What are you two doing sitting on top of the haystack?"

Li Qiao smiled on one side of his face and said: "Sister-in-law Chunhua, hello second brother Feng, where are you going?"

Peng Chunhua showed off and said: "Why don't you pay the bill today? I happen to have a lot of surplus. Mom said I would buy some white flour and meat and steam the meat buns to eat. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why don't you make something good to eat?"

"We have it at home. We started making noodles last night."

Qin Jin: "..." He just learned from his grandma that she analyzed the captain's character, and just now he heard her arguing with Cai Hechuan. He felt that she was not stupid at all. How long had it been? How could she be stupid again?

Don't you know how to hide your wealth if you don't expose it?

Peng Chunhua didn't believe it. She lived next door. How come she didn't know that her family had bought white flour? She said a few perfunctory words and mentioned the accounts. "Are your accounts correct? Grandma Qin's back is weak and she can't do heavy work.

It's all up to A Jin alone, and I can't make much in a year. I thought you could help out when you got married, but I didn't expect that you would have to repeat your studies again. If you want me to tell you if there is anything good to study, you should help with some work to reduce the burden on the family."

Qin Jin took over: "How incompetent does it look like for me to be so tanned when she's so white?"

Li Qiao quite agreed.

Peng Chunhua is unhappy, why doesn’t her man think so? She is busy every day, and the family thinks she is taking it for granted. Li Qiao does nothing all day long, but Mrs. Qin always says, "We

Jia Qiaoqiao is very tired from reviewing.

She said sourly: "It's better to have a better life." She reached out to the man next to her and said, "Look at how A Jin treats his wife."

"Why are you sympathizing with him?"

Li Qiao smiled faintly, and Peng Chunhua left with Feng Hu angrily.

Li Qiao and Qin Jin also returned home soon after.

Li Qiao handed the recovered money to Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin smiled broadly: "Qiao Qiao is still awesome, how did you get it?"

Li Qiao passed by repeatedly, and Mrs. Qin kept praising her for her ability. She went back to the house to collect the money and was busy kneading the dough and steaming the steamed buns.

After steaming two baskets, there was not enough noodles left for one basket. Li Qiao suggested wrapping some fried buns with vegetable cores for dinner.

"It works, I just don't know how to do it."

"I'll do it." Li Qiao went down to the cellar to get the cabbage, tore off the outer leaves and fed it to the rabbit. He chopped the cabbage heart and added the ingredients to make the stuffing. He rolled out the dough thinly, wrapped it with the prepared stuffing, and added oil.

Fry in a pan until one side is golden, then add water and cook.

Sprinkle some sesame seeds when serving from the pan, and it will be delicious and delicious.

Mrs. Qin was very surprised: "I didn't expect our Qiaoqiao cooking skills to be so good. It tastes delicious just by looking at it."

Li Qiao smiled lightly: "Grandma, try it."

"Eh."

Qin Jin had already eaten one. His mouth was full of oil and he raised his thumb: "It's better than the chefs in the hotel."

Li Qiao picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite. She didn't cook often and couldn't get the seasoning right, so it was a little salty. Fortunately, her grandson and grandson were happy to support her.

Peng Chunhua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the door together.

He sniffed the air and said, "What delicious food did you cook at home? It tastes so delicious."

Mrs. Qin greeted politely: "Would you like the fried buns made by Qiao Qiao?"

Peng Chunhua was embarrassed to answer.

Her mother-in-law Yu Feng took a bite and the juice overflowed: "Oh, you sprayed it all over me. I'm still choking on it, but it tastes really good, like meat, delicious."

"Maybe it's because of the lard." Li Qiao brought two stools and asked them to sit down.

Peng Chunhua joked: "I thought you didn't know how to cook, but it turns out you do. Then you let Grandma Qin cook for you all day long."

Li Qiao was speechless. Mrs. Qin and Qin Jin had no objection, but an outsider had an objection.

Old Mrs. Qin said: "I can't be tired of cooking. Have you steamed the steamed buns at home?"

"Not yet. I just talked to the boss. Is your house steaming?" When Peng Chunhua came back, she found smoke coming from the Qin family's kitchen shed. She wanted to come over to verify whether Li Qiao's words were true or false. Her mother-in-law kept asking her to do this or that.

Li Qiao generously took out the peanuts and melon seeds that he had fried two days ago to entertain the two of them.

Yu Feng grabbed a big handful and Li Qiao was stunned. "Can't we eat here? We have to pretend."

If you want to eat her food next time, you can't!

Li Qiao ate two fried buns and walked to the chopping board to continue making fried buns.

Peng Chunhua followed over, and with Li Qiao's hands, the round dough turned into exquisite little buns. She said sincerely: "You are pretty good with your hands, do you do it often?"

Li Qiao: "No." The aunt who cooks at home only taught her once and she learned it.

After wrapping the dough, she added a handful of wheat straw to the stove. After the pot was hot, she took out two spoonfuls of lard and put it into the pot.

Then I heard Peng Chunhua retching while facing away.

Li Qiao was startled: "Are you okay?"

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Qin asked after hearing the sound.

Peng Chunhua looked at Yu Feng and kept cracking melon seeds. She bragged to Qin Jin, saying that Feng Hu had found a carpenter to learn the craft, and after learning it, he could earn two or three yuan a day.

She felt unhappy, she felt uncomfortable that outsiders knew and cared about her, but her mother-in-law didn't say a word.

She waved her hands and said, "It's nothing."

As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of vomiting.

Li Qiao's eyes fell on the lard basin. Could it be that she was tired of the lard smell? She quickly put it away.

When the oil was hot, I was busy looking at the pot again.

Mrs. Qin suddenly thought: "You don't have it, do you? You look like you have it."

"What?" Peng Chunhua didn't understand.

"I'm so happy." Mrs. Qin was filled with envy. Feng Hu next door was the same age as Qin Jin. He was going to be a father, but his grandson looked like a fool.

Only then did Yu Feng look directly at Peng Chunhua and said in surprise: "Are you happy? Then I will have a grandson soon? You must try your best to give us a fat grandson."

Peng Chunhua suppressed her physical discomfort: "What if it's a granddaughter?"

"Then just like your sister-in-law, go ahead and give birth."

Li Qiao felt terrible and asked the old lady quietly if she would give birth to a girl in the future, would the old lady let her continue to have children?

Mrs. Qin smiled and whispered: "It's up to you, the girl is just as good."

Li Qiao was relieved.

Grandma is still very open-minded.

Old Mrs. Qin asked again: "Are you sharing a room?" What happens if you don't share a room?

Li Qiao shook his head.

Mrs. Qin sighed softly and then said, "Teach him."

Li Qiao almost choked on his saliva and said shyly: "How do I teach him? I took the initiative, but he will curse when he gets into bed and doesn't sleep. I'm afraid I'll get beaten if I fight him."

Old Mrs. Qin thought of Li Jinhua's fate and bared her teeth unconsciously. The beating was a bit harsh.

Yu Fengren couldn't sit still during the happy event, so he took Peng Chunhua to see the doctor for confirmation.

Old Mrs. Qin was so envious that she shut herself up and didn't want to eat the delicious white flour fried buns. She went back to the house early to rest.

Qin Jin ran away after eating and drinking.

Li Qiao was busy cleaning up the dishes alone. After wiping the stove and cleaning the yard, it was already dark and she was about to wash up and go to bed. Qin Jin came back from outside and excitedly wanted to take her to the next village to watch a movie.

"My natal village?"

"No, Jiangpu Village in the east." Qin Jin said.

Li Qiao had never seen a TV set before calling here, let alone a movie. She found it very novel and agreed to work with him to gain a lot of experience.
