Chapter 269 Entertaining Guests
Xiao Yunyi also wanted to go back with him, but he looked at the egg in He Xiliang's hand and saw that he was about to throw it into the river, so he stepped forward immediately.
"Uncle, don't throw it away, it's such a waste. My mother always said that when you hoe the field at noon, every grain of rice is the product of hard work. This egg is also the result of the hard work of the hen."
He Xiliang was like a wooden man. He handed it over casually after hearing what he said.
"for you."
Xiao Yunyi happily took the egg, glanced at Zhao Yuanyuan beside him, shrugged his shoulders, and ran away.
Although he doesn't like boiled eggs, there is no shortage of eggs at home, but his friends like to eat them.
It’s okay to give it to your little friend. Thank you for your hard work in helping him take care of Zhao Yuanyuan these days.
He Xiliang didn't even look at Zhao Yuanyuan again. He raised his leg and walked away, but Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly pounced on him.
"Brother Xiliang, I was wrong. Can you forgive me? I will marry you and we can live a good life, okay?"
Zhao Yuanyuan grabbed He Xiliang's legs.
Apart from He Xiliang, she had no way out.
"I admit that I am not smart, but... I am not stupid..."
He Xiliang tried hard to pull his legs back, but he couldn't.
Everyone else looked dumbfounded.
Such a good marriage was ruined by Zhao Yuanyuan.
They suddenly understood why Lin Yi suddenly drew a line between himself and her.
Among them, all farmers live a hard-working life, relying on their own hands. Being able to have enough food and warm clothes is already the best life.
But Zhao Yuanyuan is too arrogant. Think about it, she used to say that she was weak and lazy all day long, but they still spoke well of her.
Oh, he's probably pretending.
I feel inexplicably sympathetic towards Feng.
"Alright, cousin, that's enough. Save yourself some face, mother, don't bother her anymore. We can leave with her, which is considered to be fair to her. If she really has the nerve, she shouldn't pester me anymore."
Feng Xiaorou directly pulled her mother and really wished she didn't have this cousin.
It made her lose face.
Zhao Yuanyuan still refused to let go, so Feng Xiaorou went forward and pulled her away angrily.
Feng was also helpless, so she stepped forward to help her daughter, and finally managed to pull Zhao Yuanyuan away.
He Xiliang felt that except for Zhao Yuanyuan, everyone else in the Feng family was quite reasonable, but this had nothing to do with him anymore.
After all, this was a woman he had truly loved, so He Xiliang turned around and took a look:
"You have a good aunt. The past is in the past. Take care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind only a resolute back.
This matter was not a secret. Just now, people from Daliushu Village were watching the fun. Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Daliushu Village.
After hearing this, several men who had been entangled by Zhao Yuanyuan before could not help but shudder.
Good thing I didn’t let myself be fooled by her beauty.
If you marry a woman like this, she may abandon her husband and children and marry someone else at any time.
However, most of the men in Daliushu Village were sensible and did not publicize what had happened. The people were about to leave, and if it were to be made public, how would He Xiliang save face?
When He Xiliang's mother and family heard about this, they were still frightened. Fortunately, their youngest son came to his senses and turned back.
The family had not agreed to this marriage in the first place, and although it was a bit embarrassing for it to end in this way, they were still very excited and almost celebrated.
However, seeing He Xiliang's pale face, he could only be secretly happy.
In the end, Mrs. Feng did not ignore Zhao Yuanyuan. She and Feng Xiaorou took her back and let her rest at home.
Zhao Yuanyuan had empty eyes and lay on the only bed in the shabby house for a long time without moving.
After thinking for a long time, as if he had figured it out, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his lips.
He Xiliang will definitely be in pain and regret if he loses her.
She didn't want to go back. The land in the village where her aunt lived was barren and the villagers were poor, living from hand to mouth.
What kind of good family can she find after she returns?
Zhao Yuanyuan pondered over it and became more and more unwilling to accept it.
But when He Erzhu heard about this, he had different thoughts.
There was no opportunity before, but now the opportunity has come, right?
But he has to act quickly, otherwise they will leave tomorrow.
Su Wanwan also heard the excitement at home. Bai Shao exaggerated what he said, and Lin Wenyue even wanted to roll her eyes at her cousin.
But she didn't care about him. She was completely focused on the meal prepared by her sister-in-law. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a special fragrance.
I braised meat at my aunt's house this morning. Since I was in a hurry this time, Su Wanwan only made a big plate of chicken. She used the chicken she had stored in her space, and there was only one left.
Ha, I'm sorry that most chicken in later generations is broiler chicken, which is indeed not very fragrant, but it cooks quickly.
It can be stewed in almost half an hour.
Corn tortillas and stewed noodles are still the staple food.
In addition, I cut a plate of braised meat brought back from my uncle’s wife’s house.
The next most important thing is sweet potato. Make some candied sweet potato, steam some sweet potatoes and mash them, and fry sweet potato balls.
Next is a plate of peanuts.
These are all very fast.
She worked quickly and with the help of Shen Zhao and Xiao Yue'er, she finished the job before they returned home.
Of course, the candied sweet potatoes have to be made after they are served, otherwise they will not taste good when they are cold.
Zhao Qinghai also came over curiously. The fragrance of the sweet potatoes was so sweet that it almost covered up the smell of chicken in the air.
Xiao Yueer brought out the sweet potato balls and gave one to each person to try first.
Everyone ate the sweet potato balls, and the sweet taste was so addictive.
"There are so many ways to cook sweet potatoes. Can't you grind them into flour?"
Zhao Qinghai was overjoyed to see that sweet potatoes were so useful and could be used to make pasta and other dishes.
This sweet potato will definitely become the life-saving food for the common people in the future. Once it is popularized, the situation of people starving to death will no longer occur.
"Well, it should be. It can be ground into flour and made into sweet potato vermicelli directly. This is what I thought. I will let my uncle's mill test it out when the time comes."
Su Wanwan didn't dare to be so confident. After all, she had planted all these new things, so how could she keep so many for herself to study these foods?
As they were talking, several people ate a lot of sweet potato balls.
When it came time to actually eat, Bai Shao had a special liking for the big plate of chicken.
He doesn't like sweets, but as the young master of a restaurant, he is used to eating all kinds of delicacies. There are many ways to cook chicken, but he dare not say that this big plate of chicken is the most delicious chicken he has ever eaten, but it is definitely the most unique one.
Of course, the taste is also quite good, the freshness of the chicken, the flavor of the sauce, and the taste of some potatoes. I heard it is also a new dish, it is simply delicious.
Especially the last dish of stewed noodles, he was completely impressed.
