were exhausted. After lunch, they leaned against the cornstalks, resting their stomachs, soaking up the sun and enjoying the autumn breeze.Hearing a sudden commotion, several people standing on the h...Li Laotai saw this and quickly said.

"Jia Huan, tomorrow night you follow your aunt over to help out. Also Yuru, you go too. People put in so much money for this, we should do as much work as possible."

Jia Huan nodded repeatedly, Zhao Yuru also responded, "Alright, mother, rest assured, we will definitely not slack off."

"Mother! I want to go too, and I can help Hongying cook!"

Wu Cuiflower finished her bowl of rice in three or two bites, and hurried to Li Laotai's side, clamoring to go together.

That's a wedding feast, after all, and you have to entertain distinguished guests. There will definitely be plenty of delicious food.

Then, just sitting in the kitchen, you could eat as much as you want.

Besides, there are three daughters-in-law in the family. Two of them have gone to Kong's house, leaving her alone at home doing housework. She doesn't want to do that.

Li Laotai how could she not see through her little thoughts, at the time she just coldly refused.

"No, you don't even help with the chores at home. What are you going to do You eat for free! Just stay home honestly and let me know if you secretly go out and disgrace yourself, or I'll break your legs!"

Wu Cuiflower's face was ashen, like a frostbitten eggplant after being scolded. She still wanted to make a fuss, but Lao Er Li had already narrowed his eyes.

"Mom's right, you just stay home and do your chores."

"Yes, sister-in-law two, yesterday's marinated meat slices at home haven't been flipped yet. You just happen to be at home the day after tomorrow, you can watch and flip them."

Zhao Yuru softened her heart, unwilling to have Wu Cuifang's commotion disturb the peace of her household. She hurriedly arranged for her the easiest job possible.

Unfortunately, Wu Cuifang didn't appreciate it and still thought everyone was bullying her.

She was so angry her face turned red. She grabbed a big white pear from the basket on the kang, and ran away without a trace.

Jia Yin was lying beside the basket and almost got hit by it. She was so angry that her little fists were waving around. This Second Aunt was truly detestable!

Grandma Li quickly picked up her granddaughter and checked her carefully before she felt reassured.

Li Laoer also felt that his shrew of a wife was too embarrassing. With a fire burning in his belly, he didn't want to make his mother worry any more, so he could only lower his head and eat.

That night, after washing up, he went back to the south room with a dark face.

Wu Cuifang had already gone to bed. Hearing Li Lao Er's movement, she turned over and looked at him.

"Second brother, look at the fourth couple. They're always hunting and holding banquets, showing off to our mother every day. They're squeezing us and the third house! Come up with a plan! Didn't you say you were going to the city to find work Go now!"

Seeing that Li Laoer was silent, Wu Cuiflower thought he had listened and continued to persuade him.

"If you can make money in the city, our family will be able to stand tall at home and not have to look at their faces..."

"Alright, go to sleep. And keep that stinking mouth of yours shut from now on. If you make your mother angry again, I won't care about you."

Li Lao'er impatiently snorted, cursed a word, and turned over to sleep.

Wu Cuifang was so angry she snorted, but she really didn't dare to provoke him. After a while, she actually started snoring loudly in her sleep.

In the dark, Lao Er's eyes were bright. He really wanted to go into the city to find work.

But to provide for his son's education and to filial piety towards his mother, it wasn't because of what Wu Cuifang said.

The three brothers, they shared weal and woe, there was no question of looking down on each other.

I'll still look for opportunities to give it a try. Just in case there's a good job, my family could benefit too, and my mother would have less to worry about.

The next day, after lunch, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru had finished most of the chores at home, so they got ready to leave.

Lao Li thought about staying at the Kong family's house that night and wanted to keep her granddaughter at home. After all, it was inconvenient to do anything outside.

But Jia Yin didn't want to, she was seeing a wedding for the first time, how could she miss such excitement.

Then she pulled on her mother's sleeve, refusing to let go.

Grandma Li loved her dearly, like her own heart. Of course she couldn't bear to let her go, so in the end she could only allow her to stay with them.

Then he hopped on another vehicle with someone named Li Laosi and went to keep watching his daughter-in-law.

Jia Yin rushed towards Li Lao Tai, grinning and waving her little hands in farewell. She laughed with excitement, giggling gleefully.

Then he lay on his father's back, obedient and well-behaved, once again looking like a good child, which made Old Li laugh and cry.

Sometimes, she truly felt that her granddaughter was incredibly smart, not at all like a child.

But she only thought this to herself, and it was impossible to tell anyone.

Don't mind how the granddaughter is, even if she is a fool, she's still a member of the Li family.

Moreover, being too smart is a good thing!

Yes, great news!

Without mentioning Li Laotai's own psychological preparations, let's just say that Tao Hongying and the other four arrived at Kong's house again.

Seeing this, Mrs. Kong was very pleased. Two taels of silver for the work, with four people doing it, was a great deal.

Tao Hongying listed the ingredients and condiments, then immediately dove into washing and preparing the vegetables.

Additionally, the stove needs to be heated up because tonight Kong's family will be hosting relatives and friends who arrived early. At least two tables need to be prepared in advance.

Mrs. Kong sent three maidservants and two young female attendants to help, and the five of them were not lazy. They worked together and there wasn't much arguing.

By the afternoon's end, as dusk approached, Kong's relatives and friends were treated to a preview of Tao Hongying's culinary skills.

While Tao Hongying put the pork knuckle, which needed to be simmered slowly for a whole night, into the pot, pressed down on the firewood and after taking a quick bite of her meal, she went to rest.

The Kong family prepared a guest room for the Li family, with a large kang (heated brick bed) big enough to accommodate the whole family.

It's a bit awkward, as this is the sister-in-law's nephew. In the end, Jia Yin helped resolve the issue.

The little chubby baby slept in the middle, with Tao Hongying and Li Yuru on the left, and Li Laosi and Jiahuan on the right. The boundaries were clear yet harmonious.

At night, Li Lao Si got up and added firewood to the stove twice.

Before dawn, Tao Honghying and others also got up.

Jia Yin was still asleep, so Li Lao Si guarded his daughter while catching some sleep.

When the Kong family got up, Tao Hongying and others had already been busy in the kitchen for half an hour.

The wontons filled with pork and scallions were very delicious, along with the broth made from pig bones. The Kong family enjoyed it very much.

Jiayin woke up from being held back by urine. She cried out a few times when she didn't see her mother. Li Laosi hurriedly changed diapers for his daughter and then went to find his wife to feed her milk.

Coincidentally, Lady Kong was speaking in the kitchen. She saw Jia Yin, chubby and white, with big eyes that rolled around following everyone's movements.

Not crying or making a fuss, wearing red all over, quite festive.

She thought about her son getting married, and it wouldn't be bad to have a granddaughter like this for the first child, so she liked Jiayin even more.

Not only did she take the initiative to hug him for a while, but she also gave him a purse, which contained two small silver beans.

Jia Yin, this little money fanatic, was naturally overjoyed. She danced with glee and enthusiastically kissed Kong's face all over with her saliva.

Mrs. Kong laughed and ordered the maids to bring out her daughter's clothes and bedding from when she was little, as well as a newly sewn cloth tiger.

Tao Hongying declined but seeing her daughter's shining eyes, she had no choice but to accept. She put even more care into preparing the banquet for the Kong family.

The Kong family was generous, with all the essential cooking ingredients like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar well-stocked. They were also not stingy with their use. Tao Hongying had a rare opportunity to showcase her culinary skills.

Stir-fry, deep-fry, braise, and stew. Anything that should be seasoned is seasoned, anything that should be fried is fried.

The fragrance quickly filled the entire kitchen and wafted far outside, making the guests who came to the banquet secretly swallow their saliva. was taken aback once again."A confectionery shop, in just a few months, has already made over six thousand taels of profit That's enough to cover half a year's tax revenue for an entire county!"Jia Y...
