Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Yun Xiaoxiao Continues to Bluff Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Yun Xiaoxiao Continues to Bluff Zhao Tianlei sighed, “It’s still early, let’s all sleep a bit. After one more night, we will be home.”
It would take two days and two nights by train, and they had only traveled for one day so far.
“Third Brother, does your wound still hurt?” Cao Dali changed the subject. If it weren’t for Third Brother being in a hurry to get home, they would still be in the hospital allowing Third Brother to recuperate.
“Right, is the wound bleeding? Do you need to put medicine on it?” Before Zhao Tianlei could reply, Cao Dali spoke again.
“No need for medicine, just rest.”
Finally, Cao Dali stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
Yun Xiaoxiao went to bed early at night because her mother-in-law was next door.
Thinking she had gotten up fairly early, she found that her mother-in-law had already risen and had even swept the courtyard.
Mrs. Zhao saw her get up and was preparing to tell Yun Xiaoxiao that she was going back home.
“Mom, have breakfast here with me! I’ll cook.” Yun Xiaoxiao seemed to predict what the other wanted to say, not giving the other time to react, and headed towards the kitchen.
That was easy, and could be made quickly.
Four people, so fry four eggs.
Mrs. Zhao watched her daughter-in-law head toward the kitchen.
“I’ll eat back at home in a bit.”
“Mom, just eat here, it’s settled then.”
Yun Xiaoxiao still insisted, and Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to help with the fire in the kitchen. She watched her daughter-in-law fry four eggs in one go and even boil thin noodles.
“Mom, not only did my parents send me food, but they also sent me money. Da Bao’s father went far from home and prepared a lot of fine grains for the family. Don’t think these noodles look plain; they have a little mildew taste, so we need to eat them quickly.”
How could there be a mildew taste?
Yun Xiaoxiao continued to bluff.
“I didn’t seal the noodles well, so they got a bit of a mildew taste.”
Mrs. Zhao rarely ate such ready-made noodles; usually, they would use this flour to make dumplings, steam buns, and steam bread.
“Mom, you don’t mind, do you?”
How could Mrs. Zhao mind?
She had survived the years of drought.
“Of course not, not at all.”
Once the noodles were ready, she called Da Bao and Xiao Bao to eat.
The two children ate the noodles and eggs with relish.
Mrs. Zhao felt something was odd as she ate; there was no mildew taste, was there?
Or had she failed to taste it?
She thought it might be something Laosan’s Wife had deliberately claimed.
It was only on someone’s birthday that they would indulge in a big bowl of noodles and add an egg.
At home, they usually had sweet potato porridge, more sweet potatoes, less rice.
“It’s getting late, I should head back. If the Wang Family comes, just call someone to my house to fetch me.”
Yun Xiaoxiao obediently saw Mrs. Zhao out the door. Once back in the room, she realized it was only seven o’clock, too early.
“I’ll teach you ‘The Three Character Classic’.”
Yun Xiaoxiao began to teach the two children ‘The Three Character Classic’ in the living room.
She recited, and the children followed.
“Are naturally good…”
“Their natures similar…”
When Mrs. Zhao returned to the Zhao Family, the eldest daughter-in-law was simmering sweet potato porridge in the kitchen.
“Granny…” As soon as Daya saw Mrs. Zhao come back from outside, she wasn’t surprised; She had heard yesterday that Grandma had gone to stay with Little Aunt.
“Grandma, it won’t be long before we can eat,” Sanya said, approaching quickly when she saw Mrs. Zhao come back.
These past two days staying with Grandma at Little Aunt’s house, they had eaten lots of good things.
Last night, their mother gave them biscuits, and they had told their father and mother what they had eaten at Little Aunt’s and such.
