The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 37: Get on Good Terms with Neighbors

"Mrs. Song?" As soon as she saw the fat girl in front of her, Second Aunt knew that this was the fat wife married by Mr. Song in the front yard, whose name was Shen Yan.

"Madam, you don't know, just now you asked the servants to bring this spicy pork liver, I haven't touched it yet, but this kid ate it directly. Do you want me to beat him or not?"

"Mom, it's really not my fault. The food Sister Shen cooks is especially delicious." The speaker was Uncle Wang's eldest son, whose name was Wang Jun and looked a little naughty.

But she is still going to school, and she is much more respectable than her sister who is covered in mud.

"It's normal for children to be greedy." Shen Yan said jokingly.

Aunt Wang's anger subsided a little when she heard Shen Yan's words. She glanced at Wang Jun and forced a smile, "Boy, don't be so greedy in the future. You should learn to respect the food made by others."

Wang Jun nodded quickly to express his understanding and apology, then ran away to play.

Shen Yan and Aunt Wang exchanged a few words and felt that the atmosphere between them had eased a lot.

So, Shen Yan took the initiative to invite Aunt Wang to taste the spicy pork liver she made. Although Aunt Wang was a little hesitant, she nodded and indicated that she was willing to try it.

Aunt Wang brought the steaming spicy pork liver to the table. The faint aroma wafted into her nose. She couldn't help licking her lips, and she was looking forward to this dish.

After taking a bite, Aunt Wang's expression immediately became surprised and satisfied.

As she tasted the spicy pork liver, she couldn't help but close her eyes, enjoying the pleasure brought by the delicious taste.

"This...this pig liver is so delicious!"

Aunt Wang said in surprise, she didn't expect Shen Yan's cooking skills to be so good.

Shen Yan smiled, secretly rejoicing in her heart, because she knew that her efforts were recognized, and she felt more satisfied and harmonious with the relationship between neighbors.

After finishing her meal, Aunt Wang gave Shen Yan a thumbs up and said, "Miss Shen, your cooking skills are amazing. I am impressed."

When Shen Yan heard this, she felt inexplicably happy.

After Second Aunt's family and Shen Yan enjoyed the delicious spicy pork liver, they patted their stomachs in satisfaction and everyone showed a satisfied smile.

After dinner, they sat together and chatted about family matters, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and warm.

Wang Jun and Wang Lin were full of curiosity and love for Shen Yan. They often ran to Shen Yan and asked various questions, some about cooking skills, some about cloth shop management, and some about embroidery skills.

Shen Yan patiently answered all her questions one by one, which made Aunt Wang feel deeply moved. She felt that her children were so lucky to have such a smart and kind neighbor.

Shen Yan also likes being with Wang Jun and Wang Lin. Their lively and cute appearance makes her feel happy and joyful.

Sometimes, she would teach them some simple embroidery techniques, and sometimes, she would play and chat with them, just like a family.

Uncle Wang's family and Shen Yan spent the whole afternoon in laughter and joy. Everyone ate very well and felt very satisfied.

Uncle Wang looked at Shen Yan with satisfaction, and his impression of her became deeper and deeper. He felt that he was lucky to meet someone like Shen Yan. If Lord Song married another wife, it might not be as good as it is now.

As the night deepened, Shen Yan returned to her home.

The next morning, Shen Yan got up and didn't know what to do.

Wang Jun and Wang Lin from the backyard came over with some vegetable seedlings in their hands.

"Sister Shen, my mother said that there is a large piece of empty land in your yard. Let us help you plant vegetables there."

"That won't do!" Shen Yan felt that this was a bit presumptuous. She had given people gifts out of kindness yesterday just to promote neighborhood relations, not to gain benefits from others.

What's more, Uncle Wang had already given her the best tea and some vegetables.

This already made Shen Yan feel very embarrassed, and now she was sent some vegetable seedlings, which made her feel really bad.

"I've already bought the vegetable seeds, so I don't need your seedlings. Don't be so polite."

"My mother said that there are plenty of vegetable seedlings, and they are not worth much. Sister Shen, just pick them up and we will help you plant them."

As he spoke, Wang Jun took out the things in the basket, which were all vegetable seedlings that were growing well.

Shen Yan thought a lot, mostly about how she was not welcomed at her mother's house. She didn't expect that after coming to this alley, the neighbors would be so nice.

It is true that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

"It's really unnecessary..."

"Sister Shen, you are treating us as outsiders when you talk like this. If you do this again in the future, we will not eat the food you send us, no matter how delicious it is."

Although Wang Jun said this, he still couldn't help drooling. Shen Yan's cooking skills were so good that he had no way of refusing.

Shen Yan was somewhat moved by Wang Jun's words. She knew that this family really wanted to help her, and they didn't think of themselves as outsiders.

So Shen Yan nodded and took the vegetable seedlings from Wang Jun's hand, indicating that she accepted their good intention.

"Okay, thank you then."

Shen Yan said with a smile, her heart full of gratitude and kindness.

Wang Jun and Wang Lin happily began to busy themselves in the yard. While planting the vegetable seedlings, they joked with Shen Yan, making the whole planting process full of laughter and joy.

Although Wang Lin is young, she is eager to try. She holds mud and imitates adults. Although it is not very useful, it adds a lively and lovely atmosphere.

Shen Yan felt sincerely gratified when she saw the efforts of Wang Jun and Wang Lin.

She felt the sincerity and friendship between the neighbors and felt that she had found a sense of belonging in this unfamiliar alley. While planting vegetables, Shen Yan also planted the vegetable seeds she had bought before.

The yard suddenly no longer seemed so empty, but was filled with life and vigor.

She and Wang Jun carefully cultivate this small vegetable garden, looking forward to a rich harvest in the future.

The child left with satisfaction.

Shen Yan began to take care of her yard. Indeed, the yard was quite large and there was a lot of empty space.

It would be nice if I could grow some fruit or something in the future.

Just now, after Shen Yan planted all the vegetable seedlings, she felt much more relaxed. Next, she started to grow bean sprouts.

After finishing all these, Shen Yan felt a little hot and sweat broke out on her face.

She went back into the house and put on some light clothes.

Before noon, Shen Yan went to pickle some garlic in a jar, and the home immediately gained a lot of homely flavor.

She washed the pig offal again today because she hadn't cleaned it up yesterday. It was a difficult task to deal with this stuff.
