Chapter 25: Stewing Chicken Soup for Grandpa

Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother smiled brightly and stopped refusing. She deliberately put the two taels of silver into her purse in front of her two daughters-in-law.

"It's good to raise a daughter. What's the point of raising so many sons? Which one can earn two taels of silver for me?" Zhang's mother felt that the bad mood that had been pent up for many days was finally released at this moment! And it had to be her old daughter!

This time, Wei Zhizhi and Tian Xiaocao remained silent.

In fact, it was only a few times in these years that Zhang brought her children to eat and drink for free, and even when they came, they didn't eat too much. It's just that food is scarce now, and every household doesn't have much. They are also mothers, so isn't it normal for them to have opinions?

But even if the things Zhang brought today were not as valuable as the two taels of silver, they were still far more valuable than what he had "eaten and drank" for free over the years.

"What are you two still doing here? Kill this chicken and stew it for your father! This is a gift from his daughter. It will surely make him better after eating it!" Zhang's mother waved her hand and said with full energy.

"Mom, I'll go kill them." Zhang Lishui hurried forward, but looking at the two chickens he was in a dilemma, not knowing which one to send off.

"Kill the old hen and keep the rooster to see if it can step on the eggs of our hens. It looks quite energetic." Mother Zhang took a look at the two chickens and saw that the old hen was dying, but the big rooster was still quite energetic.

"Mom knows how to manage life and make plans. We young ones can't compare to her. Sister-in-law, you talk to mom and dad first. Your second sister-in-law and I will come over to chat with you after we finish packing these things. It's been such a long time since we last saw each other." Tian Xiaocao's eyes turned and her face was filled with a flattering smile. She was so enthusiastic that if you didn't know her, you would think Zhang was her biological sister.

Zhang had never seen such a sister-in-law before, so how could she know how to deal with it? She was not the kind of person who would be sarcastic when a villain succeeded, so she just nodded and agreed, wanting to stand up and help clean up.

"You are a distinguished guest when you return to your parents' home, so how can we ask you to do any work? Just stay here and let my sister-in-law and I prepare delicious food for you tonight. This is Mingxia, right? She is getting more and more beautiful. Look, my second aunt, you can see that she is better than any other girl in the surrounding villages. You will definitely be blessed in the future." Wei Zhizhi did not pull Zhang, but quickly picked up the rice, flour and pork on the kang, and said with a smile after taking a look at Li Mingxia.

Which mother wouldn't like to hear this? Zhang almost immediately forgot the words that Wei Zhizhi said at the door that pierced her heart. "Second sister-in-law just likes to joke. Our sister Xia doesn't dare to compare with others. As a mother, I don't ask for wealth and honor. I just hope that our sister Xia can find someone who treats her well in the future."

This was the right topic, and the women in the room were chatting animatedly about it. Just when Li Mingxia felt a little embarrassed, the door was pushed open again, and three boys ran in. The one leading them was tall and strong, and looked to be about the same age as Li Mingxia. He was Tian Xiaocao's eldest son, Zhang Lin.

"Is this my cousin? Come, have some candy." Zhang Lin saw Li Mingxia as soon as he came in. He handed the candy in his hand to her before calling Zhang.

This candy...

Li Mingxia didn't take it. "Thank you, cousin. I don't like candy."

Li Mingxia grimaced secretly when she heard him call her brother, but she couldn't help but call him. She stood up and looked outside. She saw Zhang Lishui had already packed up the old hen and was about to take it to the kitchen. "Aunt, you two can just talk here. I'll cook dinner tonight."

Li Mingxia didn't want to stay here and listen to them talk about those topics, so she wanted to slip away using this as an excuse.

Wei Zhizhi and Tian Xiaocao looked at each other without saying anything. Not to mention that they didn't trust Li Mingxia's cooking skills and were afraid that something would be wasted, even if they could trust him, it was not something they could decide on. It all depended on Zhang's mother's approval.

"How can that be possible! Now that you are back at grandma's house, will grandma and grandpa still let you work? Just sit still. Your third aunt will be back soon. She will cook delicious food." Mother Zhang stretched out her hand and tried to pull Li Mingxia back, saying repeatedly.

"Or, cousin, come out with me and I'll pick some fruits for you." Zhang Lin said immediately.

Li Mingxia shook her head. Zhang was very confident in her daughter's cooking skills and wanted to show off her daughter's ability in front of her family. When she saw that Li Mingxia really wanted to cook, she immediately said, "Mom, I dare not say anything else about our sister Xia, but I can say that this dish is really delicious. Don't worry about her. Let her cook tonight. I guarantee that Dad will like it."

After Zhang said so and Li Mingxia insisted, Zhang's mother relented, "Okay, old lady, go help Xia Jie'er, I'll wait to taste my eldest granddaughter's cooking skills tonight."

Tian Xiaocao took Li Ming to the kitchen, and Zhang Lin followed with some things in his hand, saying that he wanted to see if he could help in any way.

Tian Xiaocao was not dissatisfied with the fact that Wei Zhizhi could stay in the house and chat while she had to go to the kitchen to work. On the contrary, she was very willing to do so. With so many delicious food and drinks, how could she feel at ease if she didn't keep an eye on them herself?

Although it was a bit awkward to have two unfamiliar people watching him cook, Li Mingxia didn't care too much. The Zhang family's life was relatively easy. At least they still had several kinds of seasonings, and there was no shortage of oil and salt.

The old hen had been chopped into small pieces of similar size. Thinking of Zhang's father's leg, Li Mingxia decided to make a pot of chicken soup. The old hen already had a lot of oil in it, so there was no need to add any additional oil. Just sprinkle a little salt on it when it was out of the pot.

While Tian Xiaocao was sending the meat out, Li Mingxia sent Zhang Lin to help her carry some firewood. After seeing that there was no one in the room, Li Mingxia quickly took out the slices of meat that had been cut long ago from the space and mixed them in.

There were many people here and Zhang's father had a leg injury and couldn't eat dishes made with chili peppers, so Li Mingxia used the meat slices to make a cabbage stew. Although the dish was simple, Li Mingxia's dishes were always delicious. Then he made a stewed egg with minced meat, which the children all liked, a garlic-stirred vegetable, and finally a big pot of shredded noodle soup.

The thin noodles were cooked in plain water without any seasoning. They would be put into the chicken soup in a while. The chicken meat could not be eaten casually, and the chicken soup must be drunk casually. Seeing that there were pickles at home, Li Mingxia tasted a piece and felt that it tasted good. So he made a dish of stewed potatoes with pickles and put a lot of meat slices in it.
