In the eyes of the Li family, ten duck eggs are already a great gift.
Yuan Hong'er thought about the changes she had seen in her parents' home and knew that Zhao Huanyu didn't like these duck eggs and wanted to beg for some more.
The words were in her throat, and she felt that she didn't really go there to talk about marriage, and there was no need to ask for too much, so she swallowed the words back, picked up ten duck eggs and prepared to go out.
The two daughters thought she was being forced by her family to do something bad, so they chased her anxiously and shouted: "Mom, let's go with you!"
Looking at her daughter who was trying her best to protect her, Yuan Hong'er couldn't help but blush. The second sister was right, her daughter was the most caring.
"It's okay. Mom is just going to Changshui Village and will be back soon. When it gets dark, you can go to bed early and don't worry about me."
She knelt down and hugged her two daughters, then strode away.
The two little girls watched their mother leave, looking a little anxious, but there was nothing they could do. They were still young, and if they really followed, they would only hurt their mother, so they might as well wait at home.
But they chased her out, and they didn't dare to go back for a while, because they heard Grandma start cursing people in the yard again, scolding them for being heartless, and there was no shortage of food and drink for them at home, but they behaved as if their family members were bullying them.
They have been treated like this since they were young. In fact, they don't know what other people's families are like. They just envy their uncle and the two sisters from the second uncle's family. They are also girls. They have to do everything, and the two sisters
But he is pampered.
At home, they can only rely on their mother, so every time their mother goes out, they will be very nervous and don't know what to do.
Fortunately, the two little girls still couldn't withstand the ravages of the cold wind. They only wore a single piece of clothing. They were almost freezing after going out for a while. In the end, they couldn't survive it and shrank into the yard.
Naturally, Old Mrs. Li would not miss this opportunity, and scolded the two sisters again. Although she did not let them continue washing clothes, she also assigned them to choose vegetables. They would have dinner soon, so it would be a good idea to prepare the dishes first.
The two sisters ran to the kitchen with trembling lips. Compared to washing clothes in the yard, they preferred to choose vegetables in the kitchen. The space in the kitchen was small, and there were walls everywhere to block the wind, so it was much warmer than in the yard.
After Zhao Huanyu came back from the Yuan family, she began to prepare new products for the new year. Although it was only the second day of the new year, she was about to leave Zhang. Although she hadn't asked anyone to come to the house to help with the production, she had to research some new product recipes first.
In addition, materials must be purchased in advance. Of course, these are superficial purchases. Some trace elements that need to be added are taken directly from the space.
Originally, Zhao Huanyu planned to do it alone, but everyone in the family thought it was okay to celebrate the New Year, so they helped to do it together.
After a while, Aunt Zhang's family who came to visit also joined the process of making products.
There are still a lot of materials left from before. If you make some today, it will save a lot of trouble in the next few days.
The products they make are all products that have been used before. Because they have done it once before, they are very experienced and they have already done a good job without Zhao Huanyu's reminder.
Zhao Huanyu now has time to concentrate on researching new products. When she is busy, she will not think about what Ji Mingxuan is busy with. It has been two days and there is no news at all.
When Yuan Hong'er came to Zhao's house, Aunt Zhang's family had already gone back to eat. Zhao Huanyu stayed in her room, actually entering the space. Yuan was cooking in the kitchen, and everyone else was in the main room.
The various pastes made are put into bottles and capped.
Everyone was busy with their own things. While their hands were busy, they were talking about various interesting topics. Occasionally, there was a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Yuan Hong'er stood outside the door, listening to the laughter and laughter coming from inside. She couldn't bear to break this beautiful scene.
Thinking about the situation at home, and then looking at other people's homes, I feel really sad.
In the past, she always felt that her second sister had not married well and was destined to suffer. But now it seems that she is the only one who is really suffering.
He stood outside the door for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to go back later, so he finally knocked on the door.
It was Little Tiedou who opened the door. Little Tiedou didn't recognize her and tilted his head and was about to ask her who she was when Tieshan followed her out and called her aunt in surprise.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
"I came to talk to your mother about something. Is your mother here?"
"She's here, she's cooking in the kitchen, I'll call her right now!"
Tieshan happily led Yuan Hong'er inside, shouting loudly at Yuan to let her come out because her aunt was here to find her.
At this time, Yuan Hong'er quietly looked at the Zhao family's houses. They were all blue brick houses with generous designs and layouts. They were not large houses that ordinary people could afford.
How could such a family be willing to marry their daughter into a family like the Li family?
She sighed inwardly, feeling that her husband's family really had no self-awareness.
It’s okay if you want to marry Zhao Huanyu, but you don’t want to give a bride price. What kind of spring and autumn dream are you doing?
While she was cursing, Yuan had already left the kitchen to see her.
After all, they had just met in the morning. They had not been separated for a long time, and her eldest sister came to see her specially. Could it be that she had encountered some trouble?
"Sister, why are you here?"
As she said that, she looked outside and asked, "It's almost dark today. My brother-in-law didn't come with you?"
She shook her head with some sourness, and said with a forced smile: "No, I came here alone. I just have something to do with you, and I don't need him to accompany you."
"What's going on? Come into the house and tell me."
Everyone was in the main room, so it might not be convenient to talk, so she took Yuan Hong'er to the kitchen.
The Zhao family's kitchen is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Plate after plate on the stove is full of meat. As soon as she entered the door, Yuan Hong'er's mouth couldn't help but salivate. It had been a long time since she had eaten meat. She usually didn't eat meat at all.
I didn't dare to think about it, I just wanted to fill my stomach. I didn't expect that life at my sister's family was already so good.
Seeing Yuan Hong'er's expression, Mrs. Yuan scooped out a bowl of rice and brought it to her without saying anything. There were several pieces of fat and thin meat on top of the rice, which she had just fried.
"Sister, you haven't eaten anything this whole time, have you? Eat something first and talk slowly."
"No, no, no, I know you are celebrating the New Year with your mother-in-law and the others this year. I have already caused you a lot of trouble by coming to see you. How can I still want your things?"
Yuan Hong'er refused again and again. She couldn't even say that because she was ashamed, so how could she have the nerve to eat other people's rice and meat?
