Zhao Huanyu was moved in her heart. Aunt Zhang had nothing to say to her all this time. When the original owner was here, Aunt Zhang always thought about her relationship with the original owner's mother and took good care of her siblings.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Huanyu always wanted to help Aunt Zhang's family after she had the ability to repay the kindness to the original owner.
"What a shame! What I did is nothing compared to what you did for my family! Don't keep saying thank you on your lips, otherwise my aunt will be unhappy."
Aunt Zhang patted her hand and told her not to think too much.
Zhao Huanyu nodded. He and Aunt Zhang were not relatives, but they were better than relatives. It was good luck to be neighbors with such a family.
After that, she prepared a large bowl of meat soaked in oil for Aunt Zhang to take back. Aunt Zhang was very embarrassed, so she sent some pickles but received a large bowl of meat. This was too inappropriate.
But Zhao Huanyu persisted and said: "Auntie, in my opinion, those pickles of yours are much more delicious than this meat. If I want to eat them in the future, I have to ask you for them! Just accept them!"
"Hey, okay! Then I'll accept it shamelessly. I'll ask Ermao to bring you a bowl later!"
Aunt Zhang happily took it, glanced into the kitchen, and teased Zhao Huanyu with a wink: "Young Master Ji is obviously a young master from a wealthy family, but he will cook for you. This good man can't be found even with a lantern.
You have to work hard to win people down!"
Although no one said it clearly, they all knew about the little ambiguous spark between Zhao Huanyu and Ji Mingxuan. Originally, everyone was worried that Zhao Huanyu would suffer a loss, but a few days ago in Yuzhi Pavilion, they saw how Mr. Ji and Zhao Huanyu get along.
They all feel like they are a perfect couple. If they can't really be together, they will really suffer a big loss.
Moreover, as Zhao Huanyu, when it comes to Ji Mingxuan, Zhao Huanyu obviously has the upper hand. If he doesn't strike first, the cooked duck will probably fly away!
Zhao Huanyu knew that Aunt Zhang was thinking about herself, so she said with a smile: "I know! We must capture the person!"
This was a direct admission. Aunt Zhang was really happy for her. She whispered a few more words and then left happily.
Zhao Huanyu laughed so hard that her face turned red and she went back to the kitchen to continue working.
Ji Mingxuan happened to have finished the dishes in his hand. When he saw her coming in, he handed it to her naturally and said, "It's washed. It's up to you what to do next."
He can cook, but the food is not very delicious. With so many people eating together, he is too embarrassed to show his shame, so he can only help out.
Youshi said: "Xiaoyu, I'm here. You can take Mr. Ji out to play. This oil fume is so big that it won't be good if it kills you."
"Auntie, what are you talking about? How can we let you work alone in such a big group? Anyway, open the window to let in some air, how fuzzy can it be? Besides, if we do it together, it can be faster.
!”
Zhao Huanyu said, and pointed to the mouth of the stove, signaling Ji Mingxuan to add firewood.
Youshi wanted to say that she didn't need to bother Mr. Ji, but before she could speak, Ji Mingxuan sat down and quickly added firewood to the fire. At the same time, he discussed with Zhao Huanyu whether the fire should be bigger or normal.
Youshi:……
For a moment I felt as if I was redundant.
Zhao Huanyu didn't realize it and enjoyed it.
However, this meal was destined not to be prepared so smoothly. As soon as I prepared a dish, there was a commotion outside. It was the voices of several children at home. At first, everyone did not take it seriously. Tieshan quickly ran to the door of the kitchen and shouted
Said: "Mom, my uncle is here!"
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the mother's family usually won't come to the house, because the second day of the Lunar New Year is when the married woman returns to her mother's family, and she can talk about anything she wants then.
There must be something urgent to come here now.
You didn't even care about what she was doing. She wiped her hands and said to Zhao Huanyu, "Xiaoyu, I'm going out."
"Go ahead, auntie. By the way, remember to ask uncle to stay and have dinner with you!"
Youshi was a little embarrassed. After all, her family still celebrated the New Year with her eldest brother's family. It would be somewhat inappropriate to leave her brother behind at this time.
She smiled, didn't answer, and hurried out.
Zhao Huanyu also guessed that Uncle You's uncle must have something to do when he came. He wanted to go and see him, but he still had to take care of the house, so he could only call Ji Mingxuan: "Go out and see what's going on, and then come back and tell me.
I can’t leave!”
Ji Mingxuan smiled helplessly, the little girl is such a gossip.
I thought so in my heart, but I still obeyed and got up and went out.
The uncle of the You family is called You Baoshan. He was originally going to his sister's house, but he met some nephews by the river and was brought to Zhao Huanyu's house.
But even so, he didn't come in rashly, he just stood at the door and waited.
This is not my sister's house, it's my brother-in-law's brother's house. It was already very disrespectful for him to come here rashly a year ago. If he goes in, I'm afraid it will affect my sister.
You came out of the kitchen and didn't see his brother in the yard. Tieshan said, "Mom, my uncle is outside the door and refuses to come in!"
Youshi felt sour in her heart, so she agreed and went out.
Outside the door, You Baoshan waited quietly. When he saw Mr. You coming out, a big smile appeared on his anxious face.
You Baoshan is more than ten years younger than her. She has two brothers and two sisters. Her family is poor and they have not been able to find a wife for him. The family has always felt guilty about this younger brother. Fortunately, his younger brother is also the kind of person who does not fight or grab.
He often goes out to work to support the family, so he can barely get by.
"sister!"
"Baoshan, why are you here at this time? Is there something going on at home?"
Youshi pulled him in and was about to go in. The north wind hurt his face, but Youbaoshan was only wearing a single coat, and his exposed skin turned purple from the cold. Youshi felt distressed and even wanted to pull off his thick coat.
Take it off and put it on for him.
"Second sister, I won't go in, otherwise it will be difficult for you to do it at your husband's house. I'm just here...just..."
His face was filled with embarrassment and embarrassment, and he couldn't speak.
"Oh, what's going on? You should tell me! Do you want me to be anxious to death?"
Youshi wanted to slap him, but seeing him like this, she still couldn't bear to do it.
"My mother is sick. She has been ill for a long time. My family really has no money to buy medicine. I just want to ask if you can borrow some money from your family... I just want to ask. Don't be too embarrassed. If not, I will think about it again.
Think of another way!"
Now he spoke fluently again, and Youshi had no time to reply before he finished speaking in a sputtering voice.
Listening to these words, Youshi felt very sad and felt that she was really heartless. Her family had been better off in the past few months, but she never thought about her mother-in-law's family. She had been sick for such a long time and she didn't even know it.

Just as he was about to speak, Gao's voice sounded from behind.
